We all like travelling to different places, but what is the best means of
transport? To many people the aero plane is their first choice. There are certain
advantages to travelling by plane. Firstly, it is the fastest means of transport. Planes
are ideal if you want to travel to another country in a few hours. Also, travelling by
plane is comfortable. You can relax, read a book, listen to music or play your
favorite games. On the other hand, there are drawbacks to travelling by aero
plane. First of all, it's quite expensive. Tickets cost a lot of money. Secondly, it is
not environmentally friendly. Planes cause a lot of pollution because of the large
amount of fossil fuels they consume. To sum up, there are arguments both for
and against travelling by plane. Although planes are fast, they are most suitable
for long distances. For shorter journeys, it is better to use a form of
transport that is cheaper and causes less pollution.
The traditions of Easter celebration vary from country to country. For example, in our country the Sunday before Easter is called a Willow Sunday. On this day people bring home some willow branches which have been blessed in church. Thursday before Easter is called Clean Thursday. Traditionally people should bathe before sunrise on this day. Houses and flats should be cleaned too.

Пасха является одним из самых важных христианских праздников. Точная дата праздника меняется из года в год, однако обычно это выпадает на апрель.
Традиции празднования Пасхи различны во всех странах. Например, в нашей стране воскресенье перед Пасхой называется Вербным воскресеньем. В этот день люди приносят домой несколько веточек вербы, освещенные в церкви. Четверг перед Пасхой называется Чистый четверг. Традиционно в этот день люди должны искупаться до восхода солнца. Дома и квартиры должны быть также убраны.
