New Year        New Year           New Year

New Year is a special holiday for people. We celebrate New Year on the 31 of December. People are busy. They send greeting cards to their relatives and friends. They go shopping to buy presents. We usually put presents under the tree. On the eve of the New Year we decorate a fir tree with toys, coloured balls, sweets and little coloured lights. We usually have a New Year party at home, cook tasty food and invite our relatives and friends to come.

I want to tell you about our New Year party. My parents were at home on that day. Mummy was busy in the kitchen and Granny helped her. Dad brought home a beautiful New Year tree and we decorated it. At ten o’clock we sat down at the holiday table and had a big meal. We ate tasty food, played funny games, sang songs, danced and watched TV. At twelve o’clock we said “Happy New Year “and looked under the tree. We saw nice presents there: a computer game for me, a nice dress for Mummy, a new sweater for my Dad and a book for my Granny. My record book with only good marks was the best present for my parents and I also drew beautiful pictures for them. We were very happy and had a good time. I think New Year is a magic holiday

-Are you going to stay in your city after leaving school or move to another place?

Well, I’d like to tell you about the place where I live.

Towns and cities come in all shapes and sizes.

 I love my hometown Revda – a small town in the Urals region.

I guess my hometown is famous for its big and interesting museum- Demidov Centre where you can get to know the unique history of Revda. Kabalinskiye springs is my favourite place. It is very popular in spring and summer. My family like to go to picnic there. In winter we enjoy cross –country skiing in the forest.

I can’t imagine living somewhere in another place that’s why I plan to come back after graduating from the university.

I hope living in my native town my entire life will make me happy. 

To sum up, this topic is really interesting and I think people will keep discussing it.

Nowadays there are many kinds of jobs, so there is a lot of choice out there.

Besides, I know that there will be many different career opportunities when I get my qualification.

When at school, I need to study maths and take courses in drawing, design and photography. Besides, history, English and computer studies will also be helpful if I want to do my job well.

My family approve my career choice since my granddad used to be an architect.  

To sum up, this topic is really important and I think people will keep discussing it.

About your school 

 What do you like most about your school?

·         What weekday do you find the most difficult, and why?

·         What would you like to change in your school life?

Well I’d like to share my thoughts about my school.

My school provides many good facilities: for example, friendly atmosphere and good teaching. Then, I like that Gymnasya arranges after- school activities for pupils to learn self- defense and show off all their talents.  But what I like most about my school is that I meet my friends there.

Actually, I find Monday the most difficult weekday because it’s hard to have so many difficult lessons like science just after the day off.   You know, when at school I go to all the lessons and do a lot of homework. I should do this so that I can go to university.  Teachers say I am good at history, geography and languages because I work hard. I think they are right. But I would like teachers not to give too much homework because homework is boring and makes school education challenging. That is what I would like to change in my school life.

To sum up, this topic is really important and I think people will keep discussing it.

 Indeed, I do a lot to prepare well for my English exam: for example I have read many texts aloud, I have written a big deal of personal letters. Apart from that, I do a lot of reading and listening exercises.

 To sum up, the topic is really important and I think people will always pay attention to it.

Indeed, the Internet is quite popular nowadays since millions of people use the Internet doing different things online:  they send emails, watch videos online, people have profiles on websites like Facebook to communicate. In fact, people spend o lot of time online.
As for our school studies, the Internet is really helpful for doing a project at school. Sure, you can find information for your project in one second.
On the other hand the Internet can be dangerous because of some harmful sites.

To sum up, this topic is really important and I think people will keep discussing it.

Indeed, a healthy lifestyle is more popular nowadays because people are more responsible for their health. 

And some people are even crazy about having a healthy lifestyle.

To be in perfect shape, I spend much time outdoors and eat a healthy diet. In fact, I am a healthy eating fan, so I eat much fruit and vegetables. At night I dream of eating loads of fast food but in the morning I eat porridge for breakfast and feel quite happy.

           To keep fit, I also take some exercises. I enjoy such sports activities as swimming, playing basketball, cross country skiing and skating. I am pretty sure these activities are popular with other teens in my region as well.

Well, I’d like share my thoughts about keeping pets.

I think people have been keeping pets for so many years because pets give people much love. Sure, cats and dogs make best pets that’s why they are the most popular in big cities. Those who keep dogs and cats in big cities think that people should be allowed to bring well – behaved pets in stores and restaurants.

Of course, it is important for a child to have a pet because it encourages children to be responsible. Actually, having a pet is a big responsibility because one should feed a pet at least twice a day. If you have a dog as a pet then you should walk your dog every day in any weather.

Chocolate

Do you know that people celebrate World Chocolate Day? It takes place every year on 7 July. We cannot imagine our life without chocolate. We eat chocolate sweets, and we drink hot and cold chocolate drinks. The chocolate we eat today is made from a lot of different ingredients, but the most important one is cacao beans.

The story of cacao beans and their long journey to shops and supermarkets all over the world started hundreds of years ago in Mexico. Cacao trees can grow in places where the temperature is high and it is rainy and they originally grew in the Yucatan Peninsula.

The Maya were the first people to use cacao beans. They picked cacao beans from wild trees and cleared land to grow their own trees. They made a drink from cacao beans but without sugar. Their drink was bitter. The Maya also used the beans to buy other goods from other American Indian tribes. The Maya also used cacao beans for religious ceremonies.

The Mayan people travelled north and introduced cacao beans to the Aztec people. Soon cacao beans were part of lives of different peoples. The Aztecs could not grow cacao trees because of the dry climate. When the Aztecs conquered the Maya, they asked for cacao beans as a tribute. The Aztecs mixed cacao beans with vanilla or chili peppers.

Later people started to grow cacao trees in different countries. For example, Ecuador was for a long time the world’s number-one producer of cocoa beans. It is still one of the top ten producers of the beans, but nowadays more than 70 per cent of cocoa beans come from West Africa.
