Мне ответить только на вопросы к тексту 1. why is self-discipline important? read aloud the extract about it. 2. what can happen to adults if they can't control themselves? 3. what other qualities should parents bring up in their children? why? an important new report says that a child's chances of success in life depend on their parents. the way parents bring up their child builds up that child's character. and having the right character is important for opportunities for future happiness. according to the report, there are specific personal qualities that parents should work hard to develop in their children so that they can have a good start in life. one of these qualities is the ability to concentrate on a task and stay with it until it is finished. another quality is the ability to see things from other people's point of view and understand their needs and feelings. it is the main skill that allows individuals to communicate with each other effectively. self-discipline is another important quality. this is something that most children have difficulty learning. young children often want their desires satisfied immediately. children don't easily accept 'no' for an answer and they will sometimes have a fight in order to get what they want. when this happens, the parents are under a lot of pressure. there is a strong desire to give the child what he or she wants. but according to the report, this is the wrong thing to do. the problem is that children will grow up believing that they can have everything they want immediately. this can lead to serious problems because they never learn to plan for the future and think in the long term. when they are adults, they may buy too many things because they can't control how much money they spend. they may have poor health because they only eat or drink what they like instead of what is healthy. for the best chances of success, then, children need to learn how to have self-discipline. they also need to be motivated to work hard at tasks and finish them. of course, a child's character is influenced by lots of different things. some of these are beyond their or their parents' control and can make a big difference to a child's chances of success in life.

       Last year I, my mom and dad visited a wonderful city situated on the Black Sea coast. The city is called Sochi and in my opinion, it is the most beautiful city belonging to the Black sea attractions.

        We arrived in the city late at night, but I still noticed its beauty and realised why it was so popular among tourists. The city is totally surrounded by the high mountains with snow covering their peaks, I don't know for sure but I guess there are some ski resorts there. As to the city itself, later we discovered that all its roads were leading to the beaches.

        The day after arrival we spent on the beach and since that day we have spent almost all the time there, doing nothing but getting a gorgeous tan. We swam a lot in the warm water of the sea, my father was teaching my mom how to swim butterfly. It looked a little bit funny but in the end, my mom learned how to do this. The weather was extremely hot, the sun was baking from above all days long, so sometimes we hid in small cafes and restaurants situated near the beach tasting delicious meals of the local cuisine.

         Needless to say, we bought a lot of souvenirs for ourselves and our relatives. We also took a number of photos in various locations. We were fascinated by the city and friendly people living there. I even managed to make a couple of new friends. So, we left the city with warm memories and promised ourselves to come there back the next year.

At the beginning of the 19th century a little boy was born in the family of John Dickens, a clerk at an office in Portsmouth, and was named Charles. He had a sister who was older than himself, and there were several other children in the family. When Charles was seven, he was sent to school. He was not a strong child. He did not like to play cricket or football and spent all his free time reading. In 1821 the family went to London, and little Charles left behind him the happiest years of his childhood. His father was in money difficulties, and the family became poorer and poorer. The boy had to give up his studies. Mr. Dickens was put into a debtors' prison. Little Charles learned to know all the horrors and cruelty of a large capitalist city. He had to go to work at a blacking factory. He worked there from morning till night. When his father came out of prison, Charles was sent to school for some time. Soon he got work as a clerk. Then he learned stenography and became a reporter in Parliament. In 1836 at the age of 24 Charles Dickens published his first book. It was a collection of stories. The title of the book was "Sketches by Boz." These were followed by "Pickwick Papers" and "Oliver Twist" and many other famous novels. Charles Dickers is one of the greatest writers of the 19th century. His novels are now translated into most languages of the world.
