Спереводом. i think we don't have to decide which is better, if a teenager should work or should not work. every person has a different situation. if my parents don't have a lot of money to pay for my education, i will work. when my friend wanted to be independent, he started to work. schools often don't like their pupils to have part-time jobs. teachers complain that these pupils don't prepare their homework well and do tests poorly. besides, many teens who work miss something others can experience. they don't have time to take part in extracurricular activities and mix with people of their age. however, part-time jobs can be useful experience for teens. teenagers who can keep studying successfully have the right to take part-time jobs.

Я думаю, что мы не должны решить, следует ли подростку работать или не следует. У каждого человека своя ситуация. Если у моих родителей не будет достаточно денег, чтобы платить за мое образование, я буду работать. Когда мой друг хотел быть независимым, он начал работать. Школы часто не желают, чтобы их ученики подрабатывали. Учителя жалуются, что эти ученики не делают свою домашнюю работу достаточно хорошо и плохо сдают экзамены. Кроме того, многие работающие подростки пропускают то, что проходят другие ученики. У них нет времени, чтобы принимать участие во внеклассных мероприятиях и общаться с людьми своего возраста. Тем не менее, подработка может быть полезным опытом для подростков. Подростки, которым удаётся успешно учиться, имеют право устраиваться на работу на неполный рабочий день. (David)

My native city is Rostov-on-Don. It is the capital of the Don area. It was founded in 1749. It is situated on the right bank of the river Don.

In the past Rostov was a small town with small population. But now the territory of Rostov-on-Don is 380 square kilometres and the population is more than one million people.

Our city is a big industrial, scientific and cultural centre in the South of Russia. The plant “Rostselmash” is known not only in our country but abroad as well.

The largest scientific and educational establishment is the Rostov State University, which was founded in 1915 and now has more then ten faculties.

In Rostov there are four theatres: Gorky Drama Theatre, Musical Comedy, Puppet Show, Theatre of Young Spectators. The Gorky Theatre is surrounded by a large park named after the October Revolution. It is one of many parks and gardens which make Rostov a green town and where Rostovites like to walk on a nice sunny day.

During the Second World War Rostov-on-Don was occupied twice (1941 and 1942). The war cost Rostovites huge losses in life. That is why in the city there are a lot of monuments devoted to the war years and people who gave their lives for our peaceful life.

Rostov-on-Don is a large transport centre. It is not only a big knot of railways and airways but it is also the port of five seas (the Baltic, the White, the Caspian, the Black and the Sea of Asov).

Nowadays Rostov-on-Don as many other cities and villages in Russia is undergone the process of economical changes. But we hope that in some years people will be able to overpass all the difficulties and Rostov-on-Don will occupy its place of one of the biggest industrial cities of Russia.
