Natural disasters like earthquakes, tornado, tsunami and floods happen more frequently nowadays. There are many reasons why they occur, but the main one is related to human activity on Earth which often has a negative impact on our environment. All kinds of disasters are usually very damaging. Many dwellings, roads and even whole streets and cities are ruined. The number of victims usually terrifies as hundreds or even thousands of people get injured or die in disasters. However, each disaster has a different nature. For example, an earthquake is the result of the tectonic plates’ movement which leads to the shaking of a certain area on land. Earthquakes destroy buildings and people usually become victims because they get stuck or killed under the rubble. 1.

Everyone and everywhere is talking about the fact that eating fast food is harmful. But I will try to figure out what exactly is harmful and why. The main meaning of fast food is tasty, beautiful and cheap. Fast food is high in calories, high in fat, and very low in vitamins. It is also said that daily fast food consumption leads to excess weight and stomach problems. Fried potatoes, Big Macs, chicken burgers, chicken nuggets and breaded chicken fillets are all very tasty, but also harmful to our body. Our beauty and health begins with proper nutrition and sports. As long as we have a young and strong body, it is easier for us to keep it in good shape and full health. But everyone must make a decision on their own.

Объяснение:

Все и везде говорят о том, что есть фастфуд вредно. Но я постараюсь разобраться, что именно вредно и почему. Главное значение фастфуда - вкусно, красиво и дешево. Фаст-фуд содержит много калорий, жиров и очень мало витаминов. Также говорят, что ежедневное употребление фаст-фуда приводит к лишнему весу и проблемам с желудком. Жареный картофель, Биг-Маки, куриные гамбургеры, куриные наггетсы и куриное филе в панировке - все это очень вкусно, но также вредно для нашего организма. Наша красота и здоровье начинается с правильного питания и занятий спортом. Пока у нас молодое и сильное тело, нам легче поддерживать его в тонусе и полноценном здоровье. Но каждый должен принимать решение самостоятельно.

Read the text ‘Birthdays in Britain”

1) Birthday presents. On your birthday you get cards and presents from your family and friends. Parents often buy a big present like a bike or an MP3 player. Other people give toys, sweets, books, clothes, CDs, DVDs and things like that.

2) A birthday cake. People normally have a birthday party for their friends. There’s usually a birthday cake with one candle for each year of your age. The person with the birthday blows out the candles and makes a wish. Then everybody sings “Happy birthday!”

3) Places to take friends to on a birthday. People often have a party at their own home. Some older children don’t have a party. They take their friends to the cinema, a bowling alley or somewhere like that.

4) Name days in Hungary. My friend, Anna, in Hungary says that they have “name days” in their country, but we don’t have “name days”.

5) Giving flowers on name days and birthdays. Anna also says that people in Hungary give flowers on name days and birthdays. In Britain, we usually give flowers only to women. Cameron and I give flowers to our mum on her birthday.
