First of all I want to tell you
that my best friend's name is Irina and she is 15. She is the best person I
have ever met.
<span>A few words about her
appearance. Her height is nearly 149 cm. But she'd like to be a bit taller.
Well, she is not slim but she
is not fat either. </span><span>Irina has a round face as
everyone has, a bit long nose and big cheerful grey eyes. Her skin is a bit
pale but she likes this fact, she doesn't like ruddy faces. She has no freckles as my friend Nina has. Her
forehead is open. I think Irina has a charming smile. </span>
Her hair isn't very short but it's
not long either. It is straight and black. Iuina has rich hair.
I think that she looks like her
father.
Irina is very active and creative,
cheerful and curious. But the best thing is that she is reliable. We spend much
time together. We go for a walk, we play tennis, watch TV, do things which we
like.
I love my friend.
Прежде всего, я хочу сказать вам, что мою подруг зовут Ирина и
ей 15. Она самый лучший человек, которого я когда-либо встречала.
<span>Несколько слов об ее внешности. Её рост около 149 см. Но она
хотела бы быть немного выше. Ну, она не худенькая, но и не толстая.
У Ирины круглое лицо, как и у всех, немного длинный нос и большие радостные
серые глаза. Ее кожа немного бледная, но ей это нравится, она не любит
румяные лица. У нее нет
веснушек как у моей подруги Нины. Ee лоб открытый. Я думаю, у Ирины
очаровательная улыбка.</span><span>Ее волосы не очень короткие, но это не длинные. Они прямые и
черные. У нее густые волосы.
Я думаю, что она похожа на своего отца.</span>
Ирина очень активная и творческая, жизнерадостная и
любознательная. Но самое главное - она надежная. Мы проводим много времени
вместе. Мы ходим гулять, играем в теннис, смотрим телевизор, делаем вещи,
которые нам нравятся.
Я люблю мою подругу.
My house is very cozy. I particularly like my room. itis absolutely amazing, I love spending time at home.
Art plays an important role in the life of a man and sometimes it is next to impossible to live without it. It helps the people`s understanding of their culture. Art allows people to talk about emotionally meaningful experiences.
I think that art has many functions and it’s hard to overestimate the role of art in one’s life. Art has great influence on our souls, feelings, forms our moral values. Art forms our outlook and enriches our inner world. Art influences greatly the development and of evolution of consciousness of a person and of the mankind. Art makes us think of the sense of life, how people must live, what is ideal of beauty, what is love the eternal questions. Art helps us to understand people who lived hundred years ago and to learn the history of the humankind. Art creates our notion about beauty and harmony. Art helps people to understand outside world and each other. Art develops our good qualities. Art has a great educational significance. Art brings people up - makes them more humane and kind.
It is natural that the first thing that comes to my mind at the mention of the word ‘art’ is museums. A museum is a stock of the world’s masterpieces, it is the place, where you can enrich knowledge, you can look at the achievements of mankind, you can satisfy your aesthetic taste. Museums give the possibility to be always in touch with the past and every time discover something new for yourself. Besides, museums play an important role in the life of any nation. A museum is just the right place to find out lots of interesting things about history, traditions and habits of different peoples. One may find in museums papers, photos, books, scripts, works of art, personal things of famous people etc. All this helps us to understand historical events, scientific discoveries, character and deeds of well-known personalities better. I think museums somehow effect the formation of personality, his outlook. Every educated person is sure to understand the great significance of museums in our life; you may go to your favourite museum, relax there with your body and soul and acquire inner harmony and balance.
My native city is Kharkov. I have been living here for 13 years and have a lot of recollections connected with this city. The history of Kharkov dates back to the 17th century when Ukrainian cossacks led by I. Karkach built a fortified settlement oil the plateau surrounded by the Kharkov and the Lopan rivers.
Nowadays it’s a large city with a population of about 1.6 mln people.
In Kharkov there are a lot of places of interest, and every year the city is visited by many tourists from different countries.
My favourite place is Gorky Park. There you can escape from the noise of the city streets and enjoy the freshness of air under the canopy of park trees. Gorky Park, is very popular with children. There they can hire roller-skates or ride a horse, or take photos with a monkey. There are a lot of other different attractions: swing boats, merry-go rounds, dodgems, up-and-down roundabouts, a big wheel and others. Multicoloured balloons arid ice-creams are sold everywhere… Adults meanwhile can rest in one of the cosy cafes or go to see a movie in the «Park» cinema. For sport-fanciers there are tennis-courts, a swimming pool and a stadium.
Gorky park goes to Sumskaya street – the main street of our city. The most treasured pieces of architecture have been preserved here. Old houses are combined there with modern buildings of shops and cafes glaring in the evening with bright lights.
There are lots of other sights in our city and I’m sure they are not the last to feast eyes by their beauty and magnificence.
<span>I’m proud to be a Kharkovite. All my life is closely connected with this city. I’m happy to live here as I really love this city and I’ll never change it for any other place.</span>
