Standards of Beauty (стандарты красоты, внешность)

Standards of Beauty (стандарты красоты, внешность)

They say there are 7 billion people on the Earth. And we are all different: short or tall, fat or thin, white or coloured. No matter how we look we should take people as they are. Unfortunately, people are often treated by their appearance, according to some generally accepted standards. This fact in my opinion, makes people look the same and they often lose their individuality. If a woman has dark hair, why why should she dye it blonde? Why…

Christmas in Italy

Christmas in Italy

Christmas is an important religious holiday in Italy. Though, today only 20% of the population are believers. So it is not only a religious holiday but also a public holiday. The Christmas season lasts for 3 weeks in Italy (december, 17th — January, 6th). Italian Christmas traditions have much in common with other European countries, but there are some special features. For example, instead of writing letters to Santa Claus, Italian children write letters to tell their parents how mmuch…

There are a lot of ways to break the law. A theft is one of them. Stealing at school may really be a problem for both pupils and teachers. So the question of punishment arises. One of the possible ways-out here is permanent exclusion. Firstly it’s stupid to simply turna back on thieves at school. Today they steal a pen, tomorrow they will steal a mobile phone and in the end they will find themselves in prison. However, there may…

Why do we learn English? Почему мы учим английский? (7-9 класс)

Why do we learn English? I think many people ask the same question. The English language comes from Great Britain, where 85 million people are its native speakers. The English language has a long history. Its wonderful success is closely connected with the time wehn Britain became a marine empire and had the most powerful navy in the world. A lot of colonies appeared at that time. That’s why 750 million people use English today and half of those speak…

There can be probably several answers to this question, but in my opinion, that painted veil is the lives of the main characters – they are also multicoloured, full of events, mistakes and so on. But it’s the most general meaning, actually another explanation can be found. Kitty, the most interesting character of the book, was…

I think it is a problem for any parents to make their child work hard at school; some pupils don’t want to study at all in primary school and vice versa.

Заметки по стилистике английского языка

Barbarisms and foreignisms. Barbarisms are the words that have not entirely assimilated into English. First of all, the sphere of their usage is science.

Foreign words, though used for some stylistic purposes, do not belong to the English vocabulary, and they are not registered by dictionaries (except addenda). Barbarisms…

What I have to say about the book “Three men in a boat (to say nothing of the dog)” by Jerome Klapka Jerome [outline]

What I have to say about the book “Three men in a boat (to say nothing of the dog)” by Jerome Klapka Jerome [outline]

The peculiarity of the book by Jerome is in its truthfulness. The author tells it to the reader in the preface to the first edition. The book itself has a special kind of composition: all chapters of it are practically separate stories, telling us about those events that have ever happened to the four main characters. They are George, Harris, the narrator himself and their dog Montmorency. But at the same time the book has main line, which unites all…

Wenn man jemanden einladen will, muss man zuerst daran denken, womit er seine Gäste bewirten kann. Es ist immer ein Problem, denn jeder Mensch hat seinen eigenen Geschmack.

Das leben im Studentenheim hat seine positiven und negativen Seiten. Der erste Vorteil des Lebens im Internat ist Billigkeit. Zum Beispiel ist die Miete für eine Wohnung einige fache mehr als für ein Internatzimmer. Viele Menschen finden es angenehmer mit ein paar Leuten zusammenzuwohnen. Die Leute, die zusammen leben, verstehen sich mit einander, und es gibt immer jemand da, mit dem du reden, zusammen in der Küche stehen und kochen kannst. So, eine wichtige Voraussetzung für Wohngemeinschaft ist Umgang mit…

Fitness – eine Sportart?

Jeden Tag beschäftigen sich noch mehr Menschen mit einer neuen Sportart – mit der Fitness. Aber die Frage, ob sie wirklich eine Sportart ist, ist ziemlich interessant. Vor allem, kann ich sagen, dass es überhaupt zwei Klassen der Sportarten gibt: das sind Teamsportarten, wenn man das Mitglied des Teams ist, und wieder andere – wenn man intellektuellen Sportbeschäftigungen nachgeht. Hier meine ich natürlich das Schachspiel oder Modellbau. So, wenn man den Modellbau Sport nennt, dann können wir mit recht sagen,…

Der Kauf der Wohnung ist jetzt sehr teuer, darum können sich nur einige Leute das leisten. Man kann auch einer Wohnunggenossenschaft beitreten, aber die Bauarbeiten dauern ziemlich lange und heute gibt es viele Betrügereien in diesem Gebiet. Es ist sehr schwer…

Präsens — разница употребления смысловых глаголов и sein

Зачастую на начальном этапе изучения немецкого языка у студентов любого возраста возникает вопрос о переводе предложения с русского на немецкий в настоящем простом времени. В русском языке глаголы бывают только смысловыми, т.е. выражающими непосредственно действие. Отсюда возникает ошибка — при переводе пропадает глагол-связка sein, что является грубейшей ошибкой.  В русском языке можно сказать «Этот студент умный», в то время как в немецком, если сказуемое выражено не глаголом, а прилагательным или существительным, мы употребляем связку: «Dieser Student IST klug».Если немецкий преподается…
