We live on a wonderful planet. there are so many beautiful plants and trees and so many different animals. in this ecosystem everything is interconnected and plays its own important role. there are wild and domestic animals as well as predators and herbivorous animals. our planet, probably, would not exist without either of them. domestic animals, such as cattle and other ones, live alongside people. i have a cat. i likewhen he lies by my side and purrs. i love stroking him. however, my cat, as most of other cats, loves his own space. i think that care of pets and other domestic animals makes us kinder and more responsible. it makes us more attentive and sympathetic. when we start caring of someone else we become less selfish. my cat is quite old. i have had him for many years. now i know that a living creature is not just a toy, but a pet that will live together with you for many years. this time will not be filled with happy moments only. there will be sad moments, too. pets can get sick and feel very low. in moments like these our humaneness is tested. as for wild animals, it is hard to meet them in real life. however, we can watch them in a zoo. of course, there are people who disapprove zoos considering them to be captivity for animals. but i think that conditions created in modern zoos are relatively good. it is also known that sometimes endangered species were preserved in zoos rather than in the wild. i like visiting zoos, especially when travelling. i believe that getting to know new animals enlarges our mental outlook. i want to believe that it is up to us to save the beauty of our planet. we need to have pets at home to be better. we need to learn not to intervene with wild animals’ habitat. people themselves are an important part of this ecosystem. animals need us just as much as we need them.мы живем на удивительной планете. на ней растет много красивых растений и деревьев и живет много разных животных. в этой экосистеме все взаимосвязано и играет свою важную роль. на нашей планете есть дикие и животные, а также хищники и травоядные. без тех или иных наша планета вряд ли могла бы существовать. животные, такие как крупный рогатый скот и другие, живут рядом с людьми. у меня есть кот. мне нравится, когда он ложится рядом со мной и мурлычет. я люблю гладить его. тем не менее, мой кот, как и большинство других котов, любит свое собственное пространство. я думаю, что забота о питомцах и других животных делает нас добрее и ответственнее. она делает нас более внимательными и чуткими. когда мы начинаем заботиться о ком-то еще, мы становимся менее эгоистичными. мой кот достаточно стар. он живет у меня много лет. теперь я знаю, что живое существо – не просто игрушка, а животное, которое будет жить с тобой в течение многих лет. это время будет наполнено не только счастливыми моментами. будут и грустные моменты тоже. животные могут болеть и чувствовать себя подавленными. в такие моменты и проверяется наша человечность. что касается диких животных, то их сложно встретить в реальной жизни. тем не менее, на них можно посмотреть в зоопарке. конечно, есть люди, которые выступают против зоопарков, считая их неволей для зверей. но я думаю, что условия, созданные в современных зоопарках достаточно хорошие. известно также, что иногда исчезающие виды животных были спасены в зоопарках, нежели в дикой природе. я люблю ходить в зоопарки, особенно в путешествиях. я считаю, что знакомство с новыми животными расширяет наш кругозор. я хочу верить в то, что спасение красоты нашей планеты в наших силах. нам нужны животные, чтобы быть лучше. нам нужно научиться не вмешиваться в среду обитания диких животных. люди сами являются важной частью этой экосистемы. животные в нас так же, как и мы нуждаемся в них.
A letter to an English friend about summer holidays
Dear Ann,
Thank you for your kind letter. I was so glad to receive it.
You ask me to tell you a few things about my summer holidays.Well. In June I was in Moscow with my mum. My aunt lives there. I would like to write that Moscow is a very beautiful and big city. I went for a walk with my friends, went on weekends with my family. We enjoyed Gorki Park, went on a picnic, and took a lot of photos. We also went to the cinema and watched a fantastic film. I had a good time! As for July I spent it in a summer camp. Those were the best weeks of the summer. I met new friends. We went to the forest, sang songs, and went in for sports, swam. During my summer holidays I made many new friends, read a lot of interesting books, knew a lot of useful things. Now I feel ready to get back to school. I am happy to meet my friends and teachers. Please, write me would you like to spend you holidays in Moscow?
