Yesterday, I had an amazing dinner with Vladimir Putin. We went to a beautiful and a fancy restaurant. The waiter immediately brought us greeted us and brought us some cold water and a menu. He politely asked if we have would like anything for a starter. It was really unusual for me as I'm not used to this kind of treatment and attention. Without any hesitation, Putin asked just for a Caesar salad and some wine. Usually I don't eat salads or even drink, but having such an important figure sit next to me, I got nervous and thought some wine would calm the nerves. After quickly asking the waiter to get the same dishes and drinks as Putin, I quickly glanced at the menu. Not surprisingly, the prices were over the roof. I tried to hide my stunned face, not to embarrass myself. While waiting for our food, we talked about Putin's future plans for the country and his life in general. He was nice and respectful and asked me about my life as well. Fifteen minutes later, we got our food and to be honest, the salad was amazing. I ended up not drinking because by the time we got the wine, I already got comfortable enough to act normal. We quickly finished our meal quickly because these fancy restaurants don't serve much food ,honestly, and talked some more about just general things and politics. We finished and it was time to pay. I guess Putin has noticed my stunt face and insisted to pay for the meal. I didn't resist because I probably didn't even have that much money on my bank account. We left the building, shook hands and went out separate ways.

На этой фотографии мы видим человека, играющего на саксофоне в парке. Это мужчина средних лет. Он одет в простую одежду. Перед ним лежит большая сумка, куда прохожие кидают монеты. Этот мужчина не смотрит на человека, который его фотографирует, он увлеченно исполняет какую-то чудесную мелодию. Он создает впечатление талантливого музыканта. Несмотря на то, что мы не слышим саксофон, мы с легкостью представляем, как этот мужчина медленно двигается в такт музыке.
На заднем фоне фотографии – парк. Это место – спокойное и умиротворенное. Ранняя весна. Немного прохладно, но светло и ясно. В парке есть несколько скамеек, где люди могут отдохнуть, наслаждаясь свежим воздухом. Здесь есть уличные фонари, которые освещают парк в сумерки. Мы также можем увидеть памятники между деревьями. Я думаю, что этот парк находится в черте города. Он словно островок тишины, где можно спрятаться от суеты большого города.
Эта фотография такая простая, но в то же время такая глубокая. Иногда мы не осознаем, что истинное счастье кроется в простых вещах. Эта фотография полна жизни, настоящей жизни, жизни, которую мы не замечаем в повседневных проблемах. Этот бедняк не вызывает отвращения. Наоборот, мы проникаемся чувством глубокого уважения к этому человеку. Этот парк не похож на кусочек зелени в центре большого города, а является целым другим миром, где можно размышлять и созерцать.
Эта фотография показывает нам, как легко наполнить нашу жизнь гармонией – легкий ветерок, запах весны в воздухе, шум города за спиной и блестящий саксофон…
In this picture we can see a man playing the saxophone in the park. This is a middle-aged man. He wears simple clothes. There is a big bag in front of him where passers-by throw coins. This man is not looking at the person taking the picture, he is taken up with playing some wonderful melody. He creates an impression of a talented musician. Even though we do not hear the saxophone, we can easily imagine this man’s slow movements in time with the music.
In the background of the picture there is a park. This place is tranquil and relaxed. It is an early spring. It is a bit cool but bright and clear. There are some benches where people can rest while enjoying fresh air in the park. There are some street lamps which light up the park at dusk. We can also see some monuments among the trees. I think that this park is located within the city boundaries. It is like an island of peace where one can hide from the hustle and bustle of a big city.
This picture is so simple but at the same time so profound. Sometimes we don’t realize that true happiness lies behind ordinary things. This picture is full of life, real life, the life that we do not notice dealing with our everyday problems. This poor man does not disgust us. On the contrary, we are filled with a sense of deep respect towards this person. This park doesn’t look like a piece of greenery in the centre of a big city, but a whole different world where one can reflect and contemplate.
This picture shows us how easy it is to fill our life with harmony – light breeze, smell of spring in the air, city noise behind one’s back and shiny saxophone...
I like all holidays. But everyone of them can be made upset, except one. It’s
the New Year. New Year is a holiday for everyone. The people all over the world
welcome the new year at one moment, that’s why I think it’s the most uniting
holiday in the world, because in this moment every person can say that he loves
everyone. I think it is an international holiday.
But in different countries the New Year is celebrated in different days, for
example it can be celebrated on the 1st of September or . Also I’ve heard that
from 2001 year the New Year will be celebrated on the 1st of March by all
countries all over the world. As for me, I think that it was a right
resolution.
There are lots of New Year traditions in Russia. In every home there is a New
Year tree glittering in colored lights and decorations. Children always wait
for Father Frost to come and give them a present. Many people consider a New
Year to be a family holiday. But most of the young prefer to spend the New Year
there own having parties. As for me I prefer to see the New Year with my
family, because I meet these New Years last times with my family and after some
years I’ll spend it on my own. I must spend as much time as possible with my
family because in some years I’ll have to leave them to begin my own life and
<span>these holidays may be the last.
