I'd like to tell you about new restaurant in our neighbourhood. If you are a gourmand, I can recommend you the “Real French restaurant, located in the historic cellar, with elements of antique design and quite interesting cuisine. The restaurant is small, but very cozy and romantic. Two floors are decorated with great taste. The restaurant is very suitable for romance and even for business meetings. The best tables for three or four are well located on a small balconies on the second floor. Luxurious selection of wines, well-trained waiters - politely, but not intrusive. Their waiters are wonderful and attentive.  You can order onion soup, duck fillet and Chateaubriand steak. All delicate, prepared, issued and served in the best traditions of French cuisine. In addition to your order, first you are brought cut French baguette and oil with herbs. When you are served the soup, you will be given as a present a little piece of salted salmon with herbs. It is very delicious. To say the truth rates may be slightly above average, but for this level of the restaurant, in my opinion, they are more normal. I strongly recommend you to come here because the time spent in this restaurant has a good sense of celebration. The only minus is that the restaurant is closed on Sundays and public holidays.
Я хочу рассказать вам про новый ресторан в нашем районе. Если вы гурманы, могу порекомендовать вам настоящий французский ресторан, расположенный в старинном подвале, с элементами античного дизайна и довольно интересной кухней. Ресторан небольшой, но очень уютный и романтичный. Два этажа оформлены с большим вкусом. Ресторан очень подходит для романтических и даже для деловых встреч. Лучшие столы на три или четыре персоны расположены на небольших балкончиках на втором этаже. Роскошный выбор вин, вышколенные официанты - вежливые, но не навязчивые. Официанты замечательные и внимательные. Вы можете заказать луковый суп, филе утки и стейк Шатобриан. Все нежное, готовится и подается в лучших традициях французской кухни. Кроме того, сначала вам принесут нарезанный французский багет и масло с травами. Когда вам подают суп, вам будет подарен маленький кусочек слабосоленой семги с зеленью. Это очень вкусно. Честно говоря, цены, может быть, чуть выше средних, но для такого уровня ресторана, на мой взгляд, они более, чем нормальные. Я настоятельно рекомендую, чтобы вы приехали сюда, потому что время, проведенное в этом ресторане, придаёт чувство торжества. Единственный минус, что ресторан закрыт по воскресеньям и праздничным дням.

Anyone who thinks that at school they teach just reading, writing and counting is mistaken. Of course, it is necessary to learn to read, write and count. But only after that you need to learn to think. To be able to reflect on what he has read, to draw conclusions from what he has read, to understand what the author wanted to say when creating this or that work — that is the task of the student. Even more important is to learn how to express your thoughts on paper. Not just retelling what he read, but fixing those thoughts that arose when reading the book. It is necessary to try not to memorize the given, but to understand why it was necessary to study this particular author at school. As soon as possible, you need to learn how to use dictionaries and reference books. Then the lack of knowledge can be quickly filled by referring to the reference literature. They teach a lot at school, and the student's task is to choose what is especially close and understandable to you, because already at school it is necessary to decide which area of knowledge will become your profession.
