The Russian Federation is a presidential (or a constitutional) republic. The president is the head of the state and is elected directly by people. The USA is a federal republic consisting of 50 states. Each state has its own government; it’s like 50 small states. Official of any rank are elected by US citizens. The constitution proclaims a federal system of government which keeps both the states and the federal power from getting too much power. The federal power is located in Washington. It is based on legislative, executive and juridical branches of power. The legislative power is vested in Congress, which consists of two houses: the Senate and the House of Representatives. The executive branch is headed by the President who is assisted by the Vice President. The judicial branch is made up of Federal district Courts, 11 federal courts and the Supreme Court. There are also 3 branches of power in Russia. The President has much power; he controls all the three branches of power. The federal assembly represents the legislative power. It’s made of the two houses: the Federation Council and the State Duma, which make laws. The Federal government represents the executive branch of power; the juridical branch of power consists of the constitutional court, the Supreme Court and lower courts.
I am going to tell you about my school. My school is new and modern and I like it very much. It has three floors. The classrooms are light and spacious. There are classrooms for different subjects, such as English, History, Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, Geography, Biology Literature etc. There is a computer class in our school. We study computer science here. The computer class has the most modern equipment and the Internet access. We’ve also an assembly hall, which is situated on the second floor. Meetings, conferences, concerts and all the celebrations take place here. We prepare different performances for all holidays. We sing songs, recite poetry, dance, and participate in theatre performances. There are many opportunities to go in for sports in our school. Our school has a gym, a sports ground, a football field, a swimming pool, and other sports facilities. There are many different sports groups: table tennis, swimming, athletics, football, volleyball, wrestling, and rhythmic gymnastics. Many pupils of our school attend these sports groups. In our school we have also painting group, dance group, theatre group and rock group. All these groups are very popular and many pupils attend them. The teachers in our school are very skilled. They try to give us all their knowledge and awake our interest to their subjects and to self study. Besides the school subjects, our teachers tell us about everything, about different problems of our world, such as ecology, nature protection, climat changes etc. There is a good tradition in our school. Every year people who graduated our school come here to meet their teachers and classmates. These meetings take place every first Saturday of February. I think that school years are very important for every person. It’s a period of becoming adult, achieving knowledges, and choosing your way in life. Often school friends remain your friends for all your life. So I’ll never forget my school, my teachers, and my classmates.
