T happened about a year ago. Our family bought a new car, and parents decided to celebrate it all together in the cafe. We enjoyed great food, had a conversation and a lot of fun. Dad was happy and he told us many jokes, everybody laughed more and more. We played the fools and couldn't stop.When it was time to go, Dad paid and left cafe to warm up the car, and Mom, her friend, my brother and I lingered in the cafe. When we went out, we realised that it was already dark outside - so we couldn't see well. And the second thing we reailsed was the fact, that nobody can remember exactly, what our new car looks like! But Mom confidently went toward the black car, that was standing nearly. "Oh, Dad is waiting inside, it's ours. Come on".
Just imagine: the company of four very noisy people, singing, talking loudly, laughing out, get into car. Mum turn to driver and exclaimed cheerfully: "Sasha, let's go!"...The driver looked at us with eyes full of fear and cried out desperatly: "I am not Sasha, I am Egor!!! Who are you?!"<span>Then we, absolutly confused and quiet, get in the right car, we told Dad about it. He couldn't drive for 5 minutes becouse of laughing.
</span>Это случилось около года назад. Наша семья купила новую машину и родители решили отпраздновать это в кафе всей семьёй. Мы вкусно поели, поболтали и посмеялись. Папа был счастлив и рассказывал анекдоты один за другим, все смеялись без остановки. Мы валяли дурака и не могли остановиться. Когда пришло время уходить, папа заплатил и пошёл заводить автомобиль, а мама, тётя, брат и я задержались. Когда мы вышли, мы поняли, что уже стемнело, и в темноте мы не очень хорошо ориентировались. Второе, что мы обнаружили - что никто не помнит точно, как выглядит наша новая машина! Но мама уверенно направилась к ближайшему черному автомобилю. "Вот и папа уже нас ждёт, это наша машина, пошли".
Просто представитье: компания из четырёх очень шумных людей, поющих, громко разговаривающих и хохочущих, вваливаются в машину. Мама поворичавается к водителю и радостно восклицает: "Саша, поехали!"...Водитель посмотрел на нас глазами, полными ужаса, и отчаянно возопил: "Я не Саша, Я ЕГОР! Кто вы все?!"<span>И мы, абсолютно сконфуженные и притихшие, наконец сели в нужную машину и рассказали об этом папе. Он ещё 5 минут не мог тронуться с места от смеха. </span>
I think the most important technological achievement in
people’s lives has been transport. We went from having to spend days and year
on our horses and boats to arriving to out destination in about 10 minutes,
where it would usually take a day.
To me, undergoing such a dramatic difference in our methods
of transport is incredible. With the introduction of cars, trains and plains,
we are not free to explore and visit anywhere we want to. Because of such development,
we were able to easily find new lands like South Sudan which was found not very
long ago, using the technologies we have now like helicopters and planes and
boats
<span>I also don’t believe that the new methods of transport are
in any way disadvantageous and if we continue developing them the at some point
in our distant future, we won’t even have to move to travel.</span>
