Roman Colosseum

   The place that I visited this spring is cold the Colosseum. One of the wonders of the world, which is still very well-preserved and, of course, visited by million of tourists.
   It is situated in Rome, which is one of the most ancient place, connected with the history of the country and the world.
   The history of the place is closely connected with Yulius Caesor, the time, when the Roman Impire was very powerful and conquered many cities and countries of the world.
   While stepping I was trying to imagine fights, gladiators, ranging animals. The guide was speaking about the free games, the emperors used the Colosseum to entertain the publik with. Those games were a symbol of prestige and power and they were a way for an emperor to increase his popularity. Games were started with comical acts and displays of animals and ended with fights to the death between animals and gladiators. The fighters were usually slaves, prisoners of war or condemned criminals.
   I was looking at the Colosseum and thinking how beautiful, magnificent it is. It could house so many people!
In spite of being so old, it is really great and keeps a lot of history inside.
   During the ages it was being distroyed, but now people started to care about the Colosseum as a monument of power and history and the fury of the crowd.
   The Colosseum should be a must place to be visited by tourists who come to Rome. As this place is connected with the most remarcable time of the Roman Impare.
   Though it is in ruins, we can feel the atmosphere af this times and inequality of people living side by side with most prominent liders.

English homework "Internet chatrooms do not serve a useful purpose"

Nowdays we cannot imagine our life without using the Internet. We use it everywhere: for work, for getting information and for interactiv communication. The most popular way for it is using chatrooms. But they have as good as negative points.
Firstly, chatrooms sre very useful and positive for communicating with people from different parts of the world. We easily make friends and exchange the information. It is known that as a rule young people express their options and discuss the topics which bother them with the people of the common interests. Usually they get support or give some advice.
On the other hand, while surfing the Internet and sitting infront of the computer, people do not have face to face communication with each other, which, I think, is more assention for everydays life. Instead of chatting with the person who lives next door to you, why not knock at the door of your neighbour and offer to go out. In reality it is obvious to sociolise with real people that with virtual ones.In this case we get not only support and advice, but compassion and love.
All in all, it can be said that we ao not have to waste the time in chatrooms. it could be better if we communicated face to face with people. That is why chatrooms do not surve useful puprose.

a review p.69 ex 10

   The book "The body in the library" written by a famous detective writer Agatha Christie, describes investigating a crime committed in the library of the fictional English village of St. Mary Mead. 
   The plot of the book tells about the suspect Colonel Bantry and the gossip in the small village, exaggerating details of the crime as the body is found naked. Mrs Bantry, the wife of the suspect, invites Miss Marple to help the Chief Constable of the police to look into the crime. The victim turns out to be a dancer of the Majestic Hotel, where a lot of strange guests stay, such as Yefferson and Ruby Keene.
   The situation becomes more complicated when another body is found in a burnt-out car. In the end the true killers, who appeared to be Yosie Turner and Mark Gaskell are found and the reason for murders is also discovered by Miss Marple.
   The book is exciting, showing the curious and sociable personality of theamateur sleuth. The plot of the book is rather deep and intriguing. The main characters of the book are depicted in an interesting way.
   In conclusion it should be said that "The body in the library" is worth reading. It can be recommended to the people, who like detectives, those people, who are interested in the British way of inhenitance, which can become the cause of murder.

Stress at school (homework for 25.01.12)

Dear Mr. Teplov,

I am writhing to tell you about the stress most of students from our school have.

First of all, the time school starts. Researches show that our brain could not work good enough at 8 o'clock in the morning. It would be much better to have the first lesson at least at 9 o'clock, to understand the subject teachers are explaining. We need enough time to sleep in the morning.

Secondly, homework. After school day we always need some rest, but as we have so much homework, we have to do it immediately. Because of being tired we have more trouble in learning and remembering. As a result we perform more poorly in many areas. May be it would be better not to give us homework for holidays and weekends, to give us an opportunity to enjoy our free time and relax before a new school week or term.

Finally, physical education. Our body gets stressed while we are sitting 6-8 lessons at school. Now I am in the 11th form and we have no physical education in our timetable. In my opinion it would give us power, if we had such kind of lesson in the middle of the day.

I hope, you will understand me and other students and try to solve at least some of these problems, which make our life more stressful.

I am looking forwad to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Daria
