For most people there is no problem in deciding how they are going to spend the money they

- it all goes on housing, food, clothess, transport and, if they are lucky, leisure and some holidays. Many of us have spent our lives without doing anything out of the ordinary and

have got a marvellous opportunity of doing something exciting and I will. If I win the

To travel round the world has long been my dream and with this sum of money behind me this dream is likely to be realized. I am going to take a trip round the world. I am going to do a lot of sight seeing. I am goung to put up at expensive hotels and spend much money on entertaiment and other exciting things.

My travel experience would begin in New York, known as one of the world's most modern cities because of its high buildings and

We decided to have a special celebration of Mother’s Day. We thought it was a fine idea. It made us realize how much Mother had done for us for years, and all the efforts and sacrifices that she had made for our sake…

… It was our plan to make it a day like Christmas, and so we decided to decorate the house with flowers. We asked Mother to do it, because she always does it.

The two girls thought it would be a nice thing to dress on our best for such a big occasion, and so they both got new hats. Father had bought silk ties for himself and for us, boys. We were going to get Mother a new hat too, but it turned out that she liked her old hat better than a new one.

After breakfast we decided that we would hire a motor car and take Mother for a beautiful drive away into the country. Mother is hardly ever able to have a treat like that, because she is busy in the house nearly all the time.

But we changed the plan a little bit. We all felt that it would be nicer to have a definite purpose. It turned out that Father had just got a new rod the day before, and he said that Mother could use it if she wanted to: in fact, he said it was practically for her, only Mother said she would rather watch him fish than fish herself.

So we got everything arranged for the trip. Mother cut up some sandwiches and packed all up in a basket for us.

When the car came to the door, it turned out that we couldn’t all get in. Father said that he could stay at home and work in the garden. There was a lot of dirty work that he could do. He said that he wanted us to be happy and have a big day. The girls said that Mother had only to say the word and they’d gladly stay at home and work.

At the end it was decided that Mother would stay at home and have a lovely restful day round the house. It turned out anyway that Mother didn’t care for fishing and also it was just a little bit cold and fresh out-of-doors, though it was lovely and sunny, and Father was afraid that Mother might take cold if she came.

So we all drove away and Mother stood and watched us as long as she could see us.

We had the loveliest day. Father and the boys fished, the girls met quite a lot of people. We all had a splendid time.

It was quite late when we got back. The dinner was ready. It was grand. Mother had to get up and down during the meal fetching things back and forward, but at the end Father noticed it and said she simply mustn’t do it, that he wanted her to spare herself.

When the dinner was over all of us wanted to help to clear the things up and wash the dishes, only Mother said that she would really much rather do it.

It was quite late when it was all over, and when we all kissed Mother before going to bed, she said it had been the most wonderful day in her life and I think there were tears in her eyes.

museum represents a great historical value. The applied arts incorporate design and creative ideals to objects of utility. In museum we will can to consider more than 73,000 exhibits representing the Ukrainian folk arts of the 15th -20th century. It is interesting, that museum originated from the collection of the Society of Lovers of Arts late 19th century. In my opinion, museum attracts many visitors because represents different types of folk arts. For example embroidery, wood, ceramics, primitive painting etc. This creates a special atmosphere of national colors.
Another advantage of the museum is his comfortable time visiting and convenient location.

before then. The modern Olympic Games began in 1896. America hosted the modern Olympics 4 times, Australia twice, and in 1980 it was Moscow that hosted the Summer Olympic Games.

No Olympics were held in 1916, 1940 and 1944 because of war. The Winter Olympics began in 1924, originally the same year as the summer competition, but now are held on alternate years. The Olympic Games have сhanged over time and regulated by the International Olympic Committees. Almost every sport, from archery to yachting, is included in the Games and it continues to be the world's largest sports event.
