erformances, to enjoy beautiful architecture. A theatrical performance is always a mystery.
Moscow is proud of the Bolshoy, Maly and Art theatres. The Bolshoy theatre is world-famous for its excellent companies and wonderful acting. Almost all foreign tourists, who come to Moscow, visit at least one of these theatres. The Bolshoy Theatre amazes us with its grandeur and splendour. I visited this theatre several times. I attended the Bolshoy Theatre for the first time when I was 10 years old. It made a deep impression on me. Recently I happened to hear two operas there. They were "Traviata" and "Aida". I liked "Traviata" best. The opera was in Italian and I could understand almost nothing. Moreover, I did not know the subject. But the music was so magnificent that nothing could irritate me. A visit to the theatre is one of the most popular cultural amusements in Russia.

1. Teenagers today have a lot more to worry about than their parents ever did. The world is becoming a very scary place. Violence, teen pregnancy, and AIDS cases are increasing. More and more teens are turning to drugs and alcohol. I'm sure that almost every teenager will at one time or another have an experience with drugs, alcohol or sex. These things combined with personal problems and mates' influence make being a teenager very difficult. I don't have a single friend who has never had a drink of alcohol. Some of them don't drink at all now, but some do. It seems to me that adults are generally quite indifferent to what their children do. Once you reach the age of sixteen or seventeen, your parents think you are old enough to decide for yourself and let you do what you want.

2. It's true that there are so many problems facing
teens today. I go to an all-girls private
school which makes my school life easier. I focus more attention on
doing my work than on impressing a cute
guy. But when I go out on weekends there is a lot of pressure to drink
and smoke. There are no teen clubs close to
where I live so weekend activities are limited. My friends and I don't
do anything exciting, but we usually have
fun just being around each other. We usually talk v about
humorous things. On the other hand, we also talk about serious things like
abortion, sex, and politics. My friends and I try to help each other if we can,
because a lot of the time, being a teenager isn't fun. It's a chore (duty). You
have to go to school and your parents want you to get good grades, which are
hard enough in itself, and you have to deal with your own problems too.

any item which comes under customs- restrictions he is asked to declare it. That is, he is asked to name the item, stating its value and other particulars. The declaration is made either orally or in writing on a special form. The practice seems to vary in different countries. Upon payment of duty the traveler is given a receipt. As a rule personal effects are duty-free. It sometimes happens that a passenger luggage is carefully gone through in order to prevent smuggling. The formalities at the custom-house usually take some time. Only after passing through the customs (only when one's luggage has been cleared by the customs) does a traveler realize that the journey is drawing to an end (or beginning, as the case might be).
