Рассказ / На тему радио (на англ.)

Ну и темка. Попробую. Вот как то вот так. Только сколько там слов - не считала.
Why do people steal? This question is the exact answer, no one can give. Some people steal because they are ill. They are very hard to control myself, to not steal anything. Others just for the fact that they have nothing to do. Still others are forced to steal because they can not survive on their small salaries. Of course, on their part is not right and they understand it themselves, but they do at the moment can not change. And if the life of the first and the third can be something izmenitish and they will cease to deal with such things, the latter does not stop. They do it for a reason.

There are many ways of exploring the world. They are television, radio, magazines and newspapers, the Internet, travelling, visiting museums and art galleries, communication with other people… Each of us gets information from various sources. Some people prefer getting information from radio; others consider that television or the Internet is better. Many people also use different sources of information at once.
 
And now I would like to tell about radio as a source of information and why people use it in their own life. Radio is a rather old source of information. But it is very good and comfortable. Firstly, receiving sets are small and you can transfer them without any problems. Secondly, when you listen to the radio you cannot only get new information; for example, you can also listen to your lovely music, songs, or news. And thirdly, when you drive a car, you must look only at the road. So you cannot watch TV because it will distract your attention. But you can choose any necessary radio wave and your road will be more cheerful and more interesting. By the way, radio helped people to learn new information many years ago too – during the Great Patriotic war people listened to the radio and learned the latest news from the front about victories and failures of the Red Army. In those days radio was one of the most important sources of information.
In conclusion, I would like to say that nowadays there are many other modern sources of information in our world. But radio does not lose its own importance. People listen to the radio and like it.

In homes with the celebration of Christmas are the Christmas tree, over the door hanging sprigs of Holly, ivy and mistletoe. The main gifts given here on Christmas eve, but on New year it is common to exchange postcards and small Souvenirs. It is believed that new year’s eve, like Christmas, to children comes Santa Claus. Before you go to bed, they leave him treats in specially prepared wooden shoes, and put on the table a plate for gifts.
For new year’s table is served a traditional holiday meal: Turkey with chestnuts and fried potatoes, meat pies, braised Brussels sprouts, oatcakes, roasted goose, and steaks. Followed by favorite English desserts, including pudding, Apple pie, fruit and sweets. Traditional Christmas drink is punch.
The most famous of British Christmas traditions – meeting the first guest. It is believed that the year will be successful, if after midnight, the house first comes a dark-haired young man. However, he needs to bring a gift to the owners of bread, coal and salt – symbols of food, warmth and prosperity. A visitor throws a piece of coal in the fireplace. After that, all your family members congratulate each other and treat guests.

My favorite TV show Dancing. People come there to dance, and the best dancer wins 3000000

Every day we need some information. It may  be information of all kinds: about sport, about study. There are  many ways to receieve any information you need: from newspapers and  magazines, TV and radio. programmes. Of course, radio is less popular  than newspapers or TV. As for me I listen to the radio only in the car. I don’t listen to the radio at school  or at home  expect the time  when I do  my homework. But very seldom, because I have internet  and i prefer  listening some music and news using it not radio. Of course, I know  some radio stations such as ’’Mayak’’,’’Russian radio’’

Moscow is the capital of Russia. It is one of the biggest and most beautiful cities in the world. Moscow is a modern city now. The population of the city is about 9.8 million people. Moscow is a political centre, where the government of our country works. My, and its transport must be comfortable and fast. One can see a lot of cars, buses, trolley-buses, trams in the streets of our city. The Moscow metro began its work on the 15th of May, 1935. There were 13 stations at that time. Now it has 190 stations. Our metro is a beautiful and convenient one. There are nine railway stations in Moscow and five airports around the city. There are many stadiums in Moscow. The Central Stadium is in Luzhniki. Many competitions and football matches are held there. The Olympic village was built for the 22nd Olympic Games in Moscow in 1980. It is a big complex for sport games. I live in Moscow and I am proud of this city.

In different countries, Shrove Tuesday is celebrated differently. What countries. In every Russian province were the features of the holiday. But the similarities Pancake served horseback riding, sledding, masquerade processions, popular comedy and merrymaking and beloved folk fun - fighting and fisticuffs. The same M. Zabylin gives in his book excerpt from the notes of a foreigner, who visited Russia in the late XVII century: ". When I was a Russian killed this week were no more than a hundred people. Current patriarch has long wanted to destroy the demonic holiday, but did not, however, he has reduced his time in 8 days. Carnival reminds me of the Italian Carnival, which at the same time and in the same way goes. " The Italians, however, have managed to this day not only to preserve the tradition of carnival, but also learn to derive benefit from the holiday, attracting thousands of tourists during the carnival processions, tournaments, performances. Each European country had its own tradition of celebrating carnival. For example, in Scotland, on Carnival bake "Lenten bread." And, from time immemorial recipe was: hands are put together, they poured the flour, then it shrinks tightly in his hands and plunged into cold water. The resulting pellet is baked right into the ash. Moreover, this action is similar to the ritual, and to take part in it must necessarily all family members. We also know that in a town in England competitions in running women with pancakes. For women with a bell hot pan, in aprons and kerchiefs, should start the race. During the race you need at least three times to throw a pancake in a frying pan. And the first woman to give a damn ringer wins.

Я очень люблю праздники. Но особенно мне нравятся народные праздники такие как Масленица.
Масленица — это неделя, предшествующая Великому посту и разделяющая в календаре зиму и весну. Этот праздник широко отмечался всеми славянскими народами.  
Основной едой на Масленицу были блины — древний символ солнца, такие же горячие и румяные. В России этот праздник люби празднуют уже многие года. К празднику Масленицы строились огромные катальные горы (в Москве даже под стенами Кремля), и туда выходили с блинами встречать Масленицу, веселиться и кататься, устраивали маскарад.
В Америки масленицу встречают в Вашингтоне  костюмированным представлением на главной площади города. Вот так интересно люди встречают этот великий праздник масленица.

I love the holidays. But I especially like folk festivals such as Carnival.
Shrove Tuesday - is the week preceding Lent and separates the calendar winter and spring. This holiday is widely celebrated by all Slavic nations.

Main meal had pancakes on Shrove Tuesday - the ancient symbol of the sun, such as hot and rosy. Russia this holiday celebrating love for many years. The holiday of Maslenitsa build huge roller coasters (in Moscow even before the walls of the Kremlin), and there came out to celebrate Shrove Tuesday pancakes, have fun and ride, organized a masquerade.
In America, Carnival, meet in Washington costume show in the main square goroda. Vot so interesting people meet this great holiday carnival.

The London Marathon.
Michael Scott talks about his success story of going from being a sickly teenager to a London Marathon competitor.
Growing up with a heart defect was difficult. While other kids my age were going to football practice and on beach holidays with their families, I was in and out of hospital. My only involvement in a sporting competition was watching it on the television.
One of my favorite events to watch was the London Marathon. When I was just 14, a man from London, named Chris Brasher, organised the first London Marathon. It was 29 March 1981 and 7,747 people were involved in the race. Over the years, I watched the event 111 I. Now, there are 46,500 participants each year from all corners of the world and of all levels of ability. Many people say the marathon is the ultimate physical challenge. Athletes have to train physically and mentally for each marathon and be prepared for many challenges. I always found it surprising to see how many well-trained athletes did not complete the course each year. Out of the over 46,000 starters, on average, only 33,000 actually crossed the finishing line. Some dropped out because of injury or illness, but most just ’hit the wall’, an infamous experience suffered when their bodies simply ran out of fuel. For many runners, by the time they reached the 30 to 35 km point in the race, they just couldn’t go any further. Their muscles would cramp and their heart and lungs could not obtain enough oxygen.
Each year, I tried to imagine what it would be like to line up before all the crowds and run the 42.2 km route 2, The race started in Greenwich Park, then competitors would race along the River Thames, towards Big Ben, and eventually ending in front of Buckingham Palace.
I decided to talk to my heart specialist and find out if there was any chance that I could train my body to handle running 42.2 kms. At first, he thought I was joking, 3. I began walking for a few minutes at a time, increasing my intensity until I was able to walk for 10 minutes a session. At the same time, I started lifting weights to build muscle strength.
Over the course of a year, I progressed from just walking to running. Running became a daily thing for me and I was building more strength and confidence with every step. My doctor was thrilled with my progress and allowed me to continue forward.
Finally, at the age of 19, the time came to apply for the London Marathon. I knew that only a certain number of people would be allowed to enter the race and as much as I wanted to do this, I knew that my chances were slim. The London Marathon is the most challenging marathon in the world. I couldn’t believe how far I had come and that finally my dream would come true.
My doctor and I worked together to set out a training schedule 4. Physically, I was fit and my heart appeared to be in good condition. The biggest problem would be dehydration, as it would be with all of the competitors. On average most of the runners take four to five hours to complete the race and water is essential to all of the competitors. The year before, 710,000 bottles of water had been consumed during the race! Soon enough it was race day. My family, as well as various friends, were all gathered to watch and support me. It was the most difficult and the most exciting and rewarding experience of my life. I finished the race in less than six hours, 5.
Today, I am still running. I have not competed in the London Marathon again 6. I enjoy taking part in the atmosphere and sharing my success story with the other athletes. I learned that as long as I try my best and have faith in myself I can do almost anything.

Television
Whether we realise it or not, TV plays a very important part in our lives.
It’s the main source of information and a cheap form of entertainment for millions of people. It’s the window on the world which gives us an opportunity to "travel" all over the world, to "meet" different people and learn about their customs and traditions. It has the power to educate and broaden our minds.
It helps us to relax after a hard day’s work and escape from reality. There’s always a great variety of programmes on TV: news and sports programmes, talk shows and TV games, documentaries and feature films, concerts and theatre performances. Of course, not all programmes are good. But many are made in good taste and with great professional skill.
Some people argue that television is a terrible waste of time. It makes us lazier. We stay at home instead of going out. We read less. We think less. We even talk less. It’s true that some TV addicts spend hours in front of the "box" watching whatever’s on — from second-rate Mexican soap operas to silly commercials.
The trick is to learn to control television and use it intelligently. The ideal is to turn on the TV-set only when there’s a really interesting programme.
Violence on TV is another problem that worries people. As George Mikes once said, TV teaches us "how to kill, to rob, to shoot and to poison." But the same can be said about computer games and many films and books.
And if you don’t like a certain programme, why watch it?

Evision (2)      
Television nowadays has become one of the most important mass media. It informs, educates and entertains people. It influences the way people look at the world and makes them change their views. In other words, mass media, and especially television, mould public opinion.
Millions of people like to watch TV in their spare time. The TV set now is not just a piece of furniture. It is someone who is one of the families. There are two viewpoints on television. Some people think that television is doing a lot of harm. People begin to forget how to occupy their free time. It prevents them from communicating with each other, from visiting friends, or relatives. And indeed, people used to have hobbies, they used to go outside for amusements to the theatres, cinemas, sporting events. They used to read books and listen to music. Now all free time is given to television.
But there are a lot of people who consider TV to be helpful because it gives us a lot of information. We become better informed by watching documentaries, science programs and by learning the most important economic, social and political issues of the day. We can see famous people, great events that will pass into history. Television gives wonderful possibilities for education: you can take a TV course in history, economy, in learning foreign languages and in many other subjects.
Television brings the world in your living-rooms. We see people in our country and in other lands, and learn their customs, occupations, and problems. TV gives us opportunities to see the best actors and performances, to hear the latest news, to listen to political discussions. To crown it all, TV simply helps us to relax after a hard day’s work, giving a great variety of entertaining and musical programs.
Still, it’s not a good thing for children to be glued to the TV screen all day long. It’s very harmful for their health and for developing personalities, because children prefer low-standard hits, horror films or banal serials. All this by no means contributes to what will making a personality.
