China - an amazing country full of diverse attractions and beauties! China's ancient civilization has been able to preserve their lands in the depths of the original traditions of its own people, to create a number of strong technology foundation, peacefully coexist with centuries of tradition-rich culture. Great-grandfathers tradition decorate unforgettable for its beauty scenery of pristine nature - from mild air surface of the cleanest rivers and lakes, surrounded by lush green vegetation, to the high snow-capped peaks of Tibet. I like the centuries-old ancient temples of the Buddha and the modern skyscrapers of megacities in China, gracefully-organically merge into a single amazing personification of beauty in our Zemle.Takzhe I like Tienanmen Square and the Great Wall of China.
( Китай - удивительная страна, полная разнообразнейших достопримечательностей и красот! Древняя цивилизация Китая смогла сберечь в недрах своих земель первоначальные традиции собственного народа, создать рядом мощную технологическую основу, мирно сосуществующую с вековыми традициями богатой культуры. Прадедовские традиции украшают незабываемые по своей красоте пейзажи первозданной природы - от легкой воздушной глади чистейших рек и озер, окруженных пышной зеленой растительностью, до высокогорных снежных вершин Тибета. Мне нравятся многовековые старинные храмы Будды и современные небоскребы мегаполисов Китая, грациозно-органически сливающиеся в единое потрясающее олицетворение прекрасного на нашей Земле.Также мне нравится площадь Тяньаньмэнь и Великая Китайская стена.)

Учитель — это уникальная профессия, вне времени, моды и географии. Являясь одной из древнейших, она остаётся востребованной по сей день. Как и всё на свете, она претерпевает изменения. Согласно словарю Ожегова, учитель — это лицо, которое кого-либо чему-либо обучает. Если раньше это понятие вызывало лишь одну ассоциацию: школа, то сегодня рамки профессии расширены. Учителя передают нам знания в вузах, курсах английского языка, учат различным бизнес наукам как бизнес-тренеры. Поэтому мне нравится профессия учитель.The teacher is a unique profession, out of time, fashion and geography. Being one of the oldest, she remains popular to this day. As with everything, it undergoes changes. According to the dictionary Ozhegov", the teacher is the person that anyone anything teaches. If before this concept was caused only one Association: school, today the scope of the profession expanded. Teachers convey knowledge in higher education, English language courses, taught various business Sciences as business coaches. That's why I like the profession of a teacher.
