Пока только один.Про Санта Клауса
Santa Claus, Saint Nicholas, Saint Nick, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, Santy, or simply Santa is a mythical figure with historical origins who, in many Western cultures, brings gifts to the homes of well-behaved, "good" children on 24 December (Christmas Eve) and the early morning hours of 25 December (Christmas Day).The modern Santa Claus is derived from the British figure of Father Christmas, the Dutch figure of Sinterklaas, and Saint Nicholas, the historical Greek bishop and gift-giver of Myra. During the Christianization of Germanic Europe, this figure may also have absorbed elements of the god Odin, who was associated with the Germanic pagan midwinter event of Yule and led the Wild Hunt, a ghostly procession through the sky.
Santa Claus is generally depicted as a portly, joyous, white-bearded man—sometimes with spectacles—wearing a red coat with white collar and cuffs, white-cuffed red trousers, and black leather belt and boots and who carries a bag full of gifts for children. Images of him rarely have a beard with no moustache. This image became popular in the United States and Canada in the 19th century due to the significant influence of the 1823 poem "A Visit From St. Nicholas" and of caricaturist and political cartoonist Thomas Nast.This image has been maintained and reinforced through song, radio, television, children's books and films.
Я думаю, тебе стоит выбрать итальянский или испанский, потому что эти языки красивые. Я изучаю только один язык. В нашей школе есть только английский и русский языки. Вне школы я беру уроки английского. Я не планирую брать курсы еще каких-либо языков, потому что английский единственный язык, который мне нравится - I think you should choose the Italian or Spanish, because those languages are beautiful. I learn only one language. In our school there are only English and Russian languages. Outside of school I take English lessons. I do not plan to take further courses of any language, because English is the only language that I like.
