In fact some of the world's largest indoor sko slopes It covers an area of 22,500m which is about
the same size as three football pitches, and the
temperature is a coristant - to -2°C. However, the
strangest thing about this place is that it's in the
middle of the desert it's called Ski Dubai and the
outside temperatures can rise to more than 40°C
sounds crazy, but it just shows how serious people
are about having fun. We spend uge sums on
facilities. We pay our sports stars ridiculous
amounts of money. And we spend hour after hour
yg games although we know there are millions
of people in the world with no water to drink and no
Tood to eat
It makes me wonderf af the sports-lovers and
game-players in the world aren't a little bit obsessed
know I am suffer from a very common obsession
called football. It inade me fresh my car. I was
driving past a football pitch where some kids were
playing. I turned to watch and smas id dight into
the car in front of met can't help it ce someone
playing football, and te jest got to stop and stare,
know it's stupid, but cont do anything about it.
T'm addicted. As someone once said, "Football isn't
a matter of life and death it's much more important
than that!
and games help us to relax. Maybe if it wasn't for
sport, our societies would be more violent. Perhaps
sport is a substitute for war? It's hard to think of
a quieter, more peaceful game than chess, and yet
what's the objective? Capturing your opponent's
king. And surely, it's better to have wars in athletics
stadiums rather than on battlefields? Even if we do
have to put up with football hooligans.
What's more, playing is natural. Kittens chase balls
ol wool and puppies pretend to fight Games help
os perfect our skills and prepare us for the serious
contest of survival. They are a rehearsal for real life
But do all games help us relax and make us less
violent? What about computer games? A recent
article in New Scientist suggests that playing violent
video games and most of them are extremely
violent) makes people more aggressive, more likely
to commit violent crimes and less likely to help
others
Are these games a rehearsal for life or a substitute
for life? Do we play instead of facing up to our real
problems? Are games nothing more than an escape
from boredom? And if that's so, then what will
become of us in the future? Will games become so
realistic that we won't be able to distinguish reality
from virtual reality? Will they become so attractive
that we will want to spend most of our time inside
an artificial world? A Matrix
Of course, it isn't that important really. No game
is. But the problem is that games are addictive
From the boxing ring to the skating rink, and from
the tennis court to the golf course, you'll find
participants and spectators who can't live without
the drug of their choice. It could be a good thing
After al despite being addictive, it's true that sports
I don't know. But what I do know is that I need
a break. Something to help me relax. Sking would
be nice. I wonder how much it costs to get to Dubai

Everybody loves holidays because during our holidays we can relax and have fun. You can do whatever you like, you don't have to get up too early, and do your homework. You get enough time to travel, play your favorite sports and practice your hobbies.

Most of all I like summer holidays because they are the longest ones. Now I'd like to tell you about my summer holidays I spent in Crimea.

It was the first time I’ve been there. I’ve been dreamed to visit Crimea for many years but our family couldn’t afford this. This summer my father said we can go to the Black sea. I couldn’t believe my ears. I asked him again if he is serious, but he said he already purchased tickets on the train to Simferopol.

On 5th July we left Kiev and went to Simferopol by train. Our destination was Alushta, so from Simferopol to Alushta we went by trolley-bus. As soon as we reached Crimean Mountains, I was stunned by the scenic views that I only saw in pictures. The road looped between mountains and soon we reached the Angarsky pass. It was the highest point on our road, so then we started to descend and finally we arrived to Alushta!

Alushta is one of the largest towns in Crimea. It’s situated on the seaside between high beautiful mountains. Of course, the main treasure of Alushta is magnificent Black sea!

It was a splendid time. We swimmed, walked by seaside, and visited many sights. Excursion to the Valley of the Ghosts, which is situated near Alushta, amazed me the most. The Valley of the Ghosts is surreal landscape of giant stone pillars that were sculpted by wind erosion. It was incredible sight, because I’ve never seen anything like this!

Also we’ve visited the Dzhur-Dzhur waterfall, the Marble Cave, and the Red Cave. Marble Cave has several underground halls with stalactites and stalagmites of fantastic shapes, resembling people and animals. The Red Cave has an underground river.

Those days were amazing and unforgettable; I wished if I had more days to spend over there. My holidays were exciting and full of joy. I enjoyed immensely. I think that Crimea is a real paradise on earth. I dream to visit it again.

Вы должны написать письмо своему двоюродному брату, у которого плохие результаты на английском языке и он не изучает его. В своем письме попробуйте уверить его в важности знания английского языка в наши дни, а также о необходимости использования его в разных аспектах практического, культурного, политического, образовательного.

Привет Леша! Как у тебя дела на Английском языке? Я слышал плохо. Ты должен его учить. Например когда к тебе подойдет кто то из иностранцев и что-то спросит, ты будешь молчать и не понимать, из-за того что ты не знаешь этот язык! И это будет очень глупо выглядеть! А еще если у тебя будут деньги уехать куда-то заграницу, ты не сможешь потому что без знаний английского языка ты не поступишь на работу и не найдешь себе друзей! А когда ты вырастишь тогда будет уже поздно учить английский, потому что взрослым труднее выучить. Так что пока у тебя есть шанс, учи его!

Английский:

Hi Lesha! How are you doing in English? I heard badly. You must teach him. For example, when someone from foreigners approaches you and asks something, you will be silent and do not understand, because you do not know this language! And it will be very stupid to look like! And if you have money to go somewhere abroad, you can not because without knowledge of English you will not go to work and you will not find yourself friends! And when you grow up then it will be too late to learn English, because it is more difficult for adults to learn. So while you have a chance, teach him!
