Our country. Our environment. There are many big and small rivers, green forests, high mountains, lakes and seas in Russia. Our Earth is our home. I think people must take care of our Motherland. There are some laws and decisions on this important question. We have state organizations whish pay attention to this problem. The international conventions pay mush attention to the control of population too. There are a lot of industrial enterprises in our country that"s why we can"t ignore the problem of the protection of our environment. We have got the main aim of the protection. Our environment must be clean. What must we do for it? We have to control atmospheric and water pollution, to study the man"s influence on the life of animals, plants and our human life. If we don"t use chemicals in a proper way we"ll pollute our environment. Our plants and factories put their waste materials into water and atmosphere and pollute the environment. There are many kinds of transport in our big cities, that is why we must pay attention to the protection of our nature and the health of the people. Radiation. Now it has become one of the main problems. It is not good for health of people died from radiation some years ago in Chernobyl. It was a tragedy. The other problem is an earthquakes in America. Our scientist try to forecast earthquakes, then we can protect ourselves from them. The people all over the world do everything to protect their nature, to make their country riches, do make their life happier.

Some children can say that they have been happy at school. Some can't. Some children like the school the first day they come into the building. They see friends in their teachers. Some children like big schools where they can hide from others. For some children it is extremely important to get a very good education as they are going to enter the university. The most valuable quality in teachers and schools for them is knowledge and possibility to teach. Others think that relationship between children are more important. Altogether there are many factors which can make you happy or unhappy at school.Our school has everything for the pupils. In our computer lab there are ten computers, and we can use them after lessons to prepare our papers and reports.The walls are blue in my school. I have read that this colour helps pupils concentrate. In every classroom you can see flowers and posters on the walls, nice curtains on the windows. All this makes our school beautiful.My favourite school subjects are Russian and Russian Literature because I like the teachers, but also because it helpsme understand our history. It is interestingto learn about our language, and how it changed. I also want to write correctly. ButI'm not very good at physics and chemistry. It is difficult for me to memorizeand use formulas.Our teachers offer us many interesting activities: we stage plays in ourschool theatre, visit theatres together, make posters and wall newspapers. We also often go on excursions to many interesting places with our teacher of history, who is our form master. My friendsand I have been to Novgorod, Ladoga, and Pushkinskye Gory this year.My friends study at the same school. We go to school together. It is fun! Our class is very friendly. I usually invite allclassmates to my birthday parties. We help each other with difficult subjects and borrow books from each other. During the breaks we speak about everything in the world and share all our secrets. It is great to have so many friends.That is why I can say that I have been happy at school.

Some people have good memories, and can easily learn quite long poems by heart. But they often forget them almost as quickly as they learn them. There are other people who can only remember things after they repeated them many times but when they know them they don’t forget them.
Charles Dickens, the famous English writer, that be could walk down any long street in London and then tell you the name of every shop in it. Many of the great men of the world have wonderful memories.
A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his own language by remembering what he hears when be is a small child, and some children – like boys and girls who live abroad with their parents – learn two languages almost as one. In school it is not easy to learn a second language because the pupils have so little for it, and they are busy with other subjects as well.
The best way for most of us to remember things is to join them in our mind with something which we know already, or which we easily remember because we have a picture of it in our mind. That is why it is better to learn worlds in sentences, or to see, or do, or feel what a word means when we first use it.
The human mind is rather like a camera, but it takes photographs not only of what we see but of what we feel, hear, smell and taste. When we take a real photograph with a camera, there is much to do before the photograph is ready. In the same way, there is much work to be done before a picture remains forever in the mind. Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us.
