У меня дома живет кот по кличке Филимон. Он у меня живет три года. Мне подарила бабушка на день рождения. Котенок был беленький, пушистый, ласковый. Когда я ухожу в школу, Филимон сразу залезает в мою комнату. Книги, тетради падают наземь и разлетаются по полу. Особенно ему нравится играться с моей мышкой. Сейчас это взрослый красивый кот. Характер у него независимый, гордый. Он разрешает держать себя на руках, гладить, ласкать лишь определенное время. Когда ему надоедает, начинает недовольно фыркать и даже обращается к когтям или зубам. Филимон имеет прекрасный аппетит. Как только иду на кухню, он тут же бросается за мной и просит еды. 
Кот любит вылизывать свою шерстку и тщательно это делает. Он может мыться полчаса. Когда я делаю уроки, он сидит на столе и внимательно следит за моими движениями. 
Филимон и на искреннюю благосклонность к своей хозяйке, законно требуя при этом взаимной любви и не прощая обид. Я считаю, чтобы правильно вести себя с животными, нужна сдержанность, ласка, терпение и много любви к созданиям, таких непохожих на нас.
Я очень люблю своего пушистого питомица!
My house lives a cat named Philemon. He lives in my three years. I gave Grandma a birthday present. The kitten was a little white, fluffy, affectionate. When I go to school, Philemon immediately gets into my room. Books, notebooks fall down and scatter across the floor. He especially liked to play with my arm. Now it is a beautiful adult cat. His character is independent and proud. It allows to keep himself on his hands, stroking, caressing a certain time. When he was bored, he starts to snort with displeasure, and even refers to the claws or teeth. Filimon has a wonderful appetite. As soon as I go into the kitchen, he immediately rushes over and asks me food.
The cat likes to lick their fur and carefully does. It can be washed for half an hour. When I do my homework, he sits on a table and is closely monitoring my movements.
Philemon capable and sincere goodwill to his mistress, legally requiring a mutual love and to forgive offenses. I think, to properly behave with animals, we need restraint, kindness, patience and lots of love for creatures such dissimilar to us.
I love my fluffy pitomitsy!

Music surrounds us since childhood. And then we come first musical instruments. Remember his first drum or tambourine? A brilliant glockenspiel, in which the plates were needed to knock a wooden stick? A pipes with holes on the side? They are at a certain skill you can even play simple melodies.

Toy tools - is the first step into the world of real music. Now you can buy a variety of musical toys: from simple drums and harmonicas until almost the present piano and synthesizers. Do you think this is only the toys? Not at all: in the preparatory classes of musical schools of these toys are made whole orchestra of noise, in which the kids enthusiastically blow in pipes, banging drums and tambourines, maracas pushing the rhythm and play the first song on the xylophone ... and this is their first real step into the world music.
In the world of music has its own order and classification. Instruments are divided into groups: strings, keyboards, drums, horns, and another reed. Which of them appeared before what later, it is difficult to say for sure. But the ancient people, archers, and noticed that a stretched string sounds, reed tube, if to blow them, emit whistling sounds and rhythm beat comfortable on all surfaces all means at hand. These items were the forefathers of stringed, wind and percussion instruments, already known in ancient Greece. As long ago appeared reed, but the keyboards were invented a little later. Consider these main groups

String -
Bowstring can be considered the prototype of stringed instruments - one of the most important groups of any orchestra. The sound here is published by the oscillating string. To enhance the sound of steel strings to pull over a hollow body - so there lute and mandolin, dulcimer, harp ... and a good friend to us gitara.Strunnye plucked instruments

String group is divided into two main groups: bowed and plucked instruments. For stringed violin include all grades: violins, violas, cellos and double basses huge. The sound of them is removed the bow, which lead on a taut string. For plucked the bow is not necessary: ​​a musician fingers zaschipyvaem string, causing it to oscillate. Guitar, balalaika, lute - plucked instruments. As beautiful harp, which publishes such gentle cooing sounds. But bass - bowed or plucked instrument? Formally, it refers to the bow, but often, especially in jazz, playing it tweaks.
