Amerigo Vespucci (born March 9, 1454 in Florence; died February 22, 1512 in Seville) is an entrepreneur and Explorer, member of the Spanish and Portuguese expeditions to the New world. This part of the world, America, was named after him. From a family of businessman, received an excellent education at home, he studied mathematics and astronomy. After his father's death in 1478, he served in the banking house of Medici, from 1493 — the agent of this house in Seville and Cadiz. With 1495 engaged in the supply and training of overseas expeditions for the purpose of disembarkation of the colonists. 1500 entered the service in Portugal. May 31, in 1501 the Portuguese expedition departed in search of the mythical Strait Cattigara, which, according to Ptolemy, is from Eastern Asia to India. And the open of the earth by Columbus was considered the Eastern edge of Asia. The expedition headed for the South Atlantic. Vespucci was the first European scientist, who explored the coast of Brazil and the Gulf of La Plata. The nature and lifestyle of the local population convinced him that this was not Asia but a new world. On July 22, 1502, the expedition returned to Lisbon. Immediately on his return, Vespucci wrote to the Duke of Medici a letter describing the expedition. It ended with the assumption that the new lands in the West is a special mainland (terra firma lat.). In 1504, in Florence, came essay on astronomy under the title "Mundus Novus", a New Light, written on behalf of Vespucci. The authorship of this composition is disputed, it contains quite boastful passages, the style is different from that of letters 1502. However, the name "New Light" caught on, and then in honor of Amerigo cartographers named the name "Americus," the continent of this "New world". Amerigo Vespucci, in 1508 took Spanish citizenship until his death he filled the post of chief pilot of Spain.

At the moment I am а student of a comprehensive school #45. I like my school, but I think it could be better, so I would like to tell you about my ideal school. 

My ideal school would be situated in a quiet place near a big park, so that students could walk there after classes to relax. There would be a big buffet, where students could have a cup of tea or coffee with a sandwich during the breaks. My ideal school would also have lockers for books and personal things like in American schools. 

Nowadays we have to study a lot of subjects at school. But I think that the most important subjects are those, which will help us to pass the Unified State Exam and to enter the university. In my ideal school the majority of sciences would be given at fact-finding level and students of a high school would be allowed to choose subjects, which they would like to learn on a higher level, according to their aims and preferences. But of course, Russian will be a compulsory subject for everyone at my school, because we must admit that it is necessary for the literate writing. Information technology is another important subject, because computers simplify our lives and each of students will need to use it in future. 

As well as the subjects of the curriculum, there would be many after-school clubs, such as chess, drama, music, arts and sports. 

To sum up, I think my school would be a place I would like to go to! 

В настоящее время я являюсь ученицей общеобразовательной школы №45. Мне нравится моя школа, но я думаю, что она могла бы быть лучше, поэтому мне бы хотелось рассказать вам о том, как я себе представляю идеальную школу. 

Идеальная для меня школа располагалась бы в тихом месте недалеко от большого парка, так что ученики могли бы прогуливаться, отдыхая после уроков. В школе был бы большой буфет, где ученики могли бы выпить чашку чая или кофе с бутербродами во время перемены. В моей идеальной школе также были бы шкафчики для книг и личных вещей как в американских школах. 

Сегодня мы должны изучать множество предметов в школе, но я думаю, что самыми важными являются те предметы, изучение которых нам сдать Единый Государственный Экзамен. В моей идеальной школе большинство наук будут изучаться на уровне знания основных фактов, а также ученикам старших классов будет позволено выбирать предметы, которые они хотели бы изучить на более высоком уровне, в соответствии с их целями и предпочтениями. Но конечно русский язык будет обязательным предметом для всех в моей школе, потому что мы должны признать, чтоон необходим для грамотного письма. Информатика другой важный предмет, потому что использование компьютера облегчает нашу жизнь и знание компьютера пригодится в будущем каждому ученику. 

Также как предметы из обязательного плана, в этой школе будет множество внеклассных клубов, таких как шахматы, театр, музыка, искусство и спорт. 

Подводя итог, я думаю, что моя идеальная школа была бы местом, в которое мне бы нравилось ходить.
