Our house is very large
and comfortable. Although it's got only one floor, it has all the amenities and
space for each family member. There is a large entrance hall which has a
clothes rack and shelves for shoes. Right from the hallway you will find yourself
in the spacious corridor and if you turn right, you can enter the living room
where we spend time together, watching TV or just talking about the day's
events. If you go left, you will find yourself in the dining room where there
is a large table and six chairs. Here we have lunch, breakfast and dinner. From
the dining room you can go to our kitchen. It is spacious and very modern. We
have a lot of household appliances: a fridge,a stove, a dishwasher, a mixer, a
blender, a bread maker, a microwave and various necessary devices for cooking.
Then you can pass in a small hall where you'll find the door to the bathroom
and toilet. If you go right you'll see my room and my parents' bedroom. My room
is wonderful, it is large and bright. I have everything I need: a computer
desk, a sofa, two armchairs, a wardrobe, a large mirror and a lot of posters on
the walls. The parents' room is also great, but I rarely go there. We
have a wonderful home!<span>
<span>Наш дом очень большой и уютный. Хотя он
одноэтажный, в нем есть все удобства и место для каждого члена семьи. В нашем
доме большая прихожая, в которой есть вешалка для одежды и полки для обуви.
Сразу из прихожей вы очутитесь в просторном коридоре и, если свернете направо,
то можете войти в зал, в котором мы проводим время все вместе по вечерам,
смотря телевизор или просто разговаривая о событиях дня. Если из коридора вы
пойдете налево, вы очутитесь в столовой, где стоит большой стол и стулья.
Здесь мы обедаем, завтракаем и ужинаем. Из столовой вы можете пройти в нашу
кухню. Она просторная и очень современная. У нас много бытовой техники:
холодильник, плита, посудомоечная машина, миксер, блендер, хлебопечка,
микроволновая печь и разные очень нужные устройства для приготовления пищи. Из
коридора вы можете пройти в маленький холл, в котором найдете дверь в ванную
комнату и туалет. Если вы пройдете прямо, то увидите мою комнату и спальню моих
родителей. Моя комната замечательная, она большая и светлая. У меня есть все
необходимое для меня: компьютерный стол, диван, два кресла, шкаф для одежды,
большое зеркало и много плакатов на стене. Комната родителей тоже большая, но я
редко туда захожу. У нас замечательный дом!</span></span>
<span>Global Problems of Today
People have lived on our planet Earth for centuries and global problems have always existed. In ancient times the biggest global problem was wars. People have been fighting with each other since the beginning of the civilisation mostly to get new territories and more land. Later, fighting the distance was another global problem, too, before the discovery of the plane. Today, there are more global problems which can be divided into two categories: ecological problems and social, eco¬nomic and political issues.
The first category includes issues relating to ecological destruction, pollution and global warming as the result. The climate is changing and many people agree that climate change may be one of the greatest threats facing the planet. Many people think that a rise in temperature of about three or four degrees is not very much, but the effects are worse than it seems at first sight. Global warming has already killed off some types of animals and plants. There have been more and more heat waves in the summer, with many people dying in big cities. Rising sea levels are threatening whole nations on low-lying islands in the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
The second category of global problems deals with social, economic and political issues. They include global terrorism, poverty, human rights, health issues, racism and many others.
We are faced with the problem of global terrorism and more and more countries are suffering from it. It is difficult to catch terrorists and prevent their acts. The most terrible terrorist attack took place on September 11, 2001 in the USA. The World Trade Centre, the pride of all Americans and one of the symbols of New York City, was destroyed completely and thousands of people died. The world was shocked and most countries decided to fight against terrorism. However, new terrorist attacks have been committed. Many innocent people still get killed and nobody can stop terrorists.
Poverty is another global problem. It may seem surprising, but most of humanity lives on just a few dollars a day now. The worst situation is in Africa where people (mostly children) die every day of hunger because they have nothing to eat. The poor also have less access to health, education and other services. Problems of hunger, malnutrition and diseases affect the poorest in society.
Another global problem is racism, when people of different races and different skin colour are humiliated and even killed. There are many organisations that fight social global problems, but this battle has lasted for a long time and it will take much time for the solution of all of them.
We live in the 21st century and humanity has made a great progress in technology, so I think that it is strange that we still have global problems, especially the ones that deal with social, economic and political issues. I am sure that they can be solved completely without any conflicts or wars.</span>
