Mount Everest in the Himalayas is every climber’s dream. The 8,850-metre mountain is the highest place in the world and a very dangerous mountain. The weather changes all the time and it is often very windy and cold. In the early 20th century, other expeditions tried to climb Everest but failed, and many people died there. Finally, on 29th May 1953, Edmund Hillary from New Zealand and Tenzing Norgay from Nepal became the first people to stand on the summit of Mount Everest.
Edmund Hillary was born in Auckland in New Zealand. He wasn’t a very sporty young person, but he liked climbing and he had a dream. ‘Someday I’m going to climb Everest,’ he told a friend. He was serious, but nobody believed him! In those days, people didn’t know if it was possible to climb higher than 8,000 metres because there isn’t a lot of oxygen.
When he was 33, Hillary joined a British expedition to climb Everest. At 6.30 a.m. on 29th May, Hillary and Norgay left their camp at 8,503 metres and started climbing. They both carried heavy oxygen bottles. They were lucky because the weather was good. Five hours later, at 11.30 a.m., they were on top of the world! They spent fifteen minutes on the summit of Everest and Hillary took a photo of Norgay, but he didn’t take a photo of himself! The news of their climb was in all the newspapers and the two men were heroes before they arrived home.

1) What is the weather like on Mount Everest?
2) What was Edmund Hillary’s dream when he was young?
3) Why is it dangerous to go higher than 8,000 metres?
4) What did Hillary and Norgay take with them on the climb?
5) Why were Hillary and Norgay lucky?
6) Who is in the photo on the summit of Everest?
7) Why is the Mount Everest so dangerous for unprepared people?

I love fairy-tales very much. They take me to the world of magic and adventure, fairies and glorious princesses. I think I like all of them but my favourite one is “Cinderella”. This beautiful story was written by Charles Perrault in 1697. When I was a baby my parents often read it to me before going to bed. Now I can read it myself and there are also cartoons and movies named “Cinderella”.

Once upon a time there was a sweet little girl whose name was Cinderella. She had a very kind and gentle heart. Her mother died, so she lived with a wicked stepmother and her terrible ugly daughters. Poor girl was very unhappy because they made her work hard all days long.

But one day Cinderella’s fairy godmother made her dream come true: she helped the girl to go to a royal ball. Godmother turned a pumpkin into a magical coach, six mice – into six horses and the girl’s old dress – into a fabulous gown. At the ball the Prince fell in love with Cinderella and danced with her all the evening, but the beautiful girl had to leave the ball and come back home before midnight. So she ran down the steps of the palace and lost her tiny shoe. That lucky shoe helped the Prince to find Cinderella in his kingdom.

And, of course, my favourite fairy-tale, like all others, has a happy end. The Prince married Cinderella and they lived happily ever after... And I think that this wonderful story will live in my heart forever because it reminds me that our dreams always come true.

Я очень люблю сказки. Они уносят меня в мир волшебства, приключений, сказочных фей и восхитительных принцесс. Думаю, мне нравятся все сказки, но любимой является «Золушка». Эта красивая история была написана Шарлем Перро в 1697 году. Когда я была маленьким ребенком, мои родители часто читали мне ее перед сном. Сейчас я могу читать ее сама, и еще существуют мультфильмы и кинофильмы с названием «Золушка».

Однажды жила-была милая маленькая девочка, которую звали Золушкой. У нее было очень доброе и нежное сердце. Ее мама умерла, и поэтому она жила со злой мачехой и ее ужасными уродливыми дочерьми. Бедная девушка была очень несчастна, потому что они заставляли ее много работать целыми днями напролет.

Но вот однажды крестная фея Золушки исполнила ее мечту: она девушке попасть на королевский был. Крестная мама превратила тыкву в волшебную карету, шесть мышей – в шесть лошадей, а старое платье девушки – в замечательное платье. На балу принц влюбился в Золушку и танцевал с ней весь вечер, однако красивой девушке нужно было покинуть бал и явиться домой до наступления полуночи. Так, она побежала вниз по ступенькам дворца и потеряла свою крошечную туфельку. Эта счастливая туфелька и принцу отыскать Золушку в своем королевстве.

И, конечно же, моя любимая сказка, как и все другие, имеет счастливый конец. Принц женился на Золушке, и они жили вместе долго и счастливо… И мне кажется, что эта прекрасная история будет жить в моем сердце вечно, потому что она напоминает мне о том, что наши мечты всегда сбываются.

Last year, we got an apartment in a new area. I was very happy that I can have my own room. My room is not very big, but comfortable and light, because it is on the sunny side. In the morning the sun wakes me up first, and after gradually gets to the master bedroom. The right of the entrance to the room, I arranged a small sports area.I love to exercise, so every morning doing exercises. Wall bars, horizontal bar in the doorway, dumbbells are helping me to be smart and strong. In the corner by the window is my desk. In a drawer, I kept notebooks, pens, pencils, markers and old all a bunch of useful things that can be useful at any time.On the table is a glass with sharpened pencils and spare pens, a calculator and a stack of books are needed.I do not like the mess on the table, so the books and notebooks after trying to return to the place of work. Above the table on the wall, I pinned a picture of your favorite movie stars.And above them - a shelf with books and magazines. I do not like to read fiction (prefer movies), but books about sports and music - love it.To the left of the front door is a chair bed, where I sleep or listen to music. Next to the bed - a coffee table with a tape recorder and audio cassette recording of my favorite bands.When I'm home, the music sounds in my room constantly. I have recorded music for every mood. On the floor is a big beautiful carpet.In the hot summer I open the window, I go straight to the floor and relax. I love my room, because I can stay there all alone, and I can invite your friends.Here, even a large gathering noisy company, we have none of the adults do not interfere. My room - my fortress.
