How I Saw the New Year in

New Year is my favourite holiday.We celebrate it on the 31st of December.

This year I celebrated New Year with my family. On New Year Eve we bought a New Year tree and decorated it with coloured balls and bright lights. We bought presents for our friends and relatives. My mother and I cooked a holiday supper. We made tasty salads, chicken, potatoes and mushrooms. We made a holiday cake, too. We bought a lot of fruit and sweets. We decorated our house with flakes and toys and put beautiful candles on the fireplace. We put a nice tablecloth, place and cups on the table.

Our guests came to visit us in the evening. They gave me wonderful presents. My aunt gave me a teddy bear as a present. My uncle`s present for me was a beautiful doll.

Then Father Frost came to our place. He was so funny! He had a big bag of presents.I told him a poem about winter, and he gave me a computer game as a present.

At last New Year came! We congratulated our dearest and nearest and wished them a Happy New Year! We enjoyed food and drinks. We danced, sang songs and played. I played the guitar. We had a good time together.

New Year was a merry and a happy holiday. I liked it very much.

 

Новый год - мой любимый праздник. Мы отмечаем его 31 декабря.

В этом году я отмечала Новый год со своей семьей. В канун Нового года мы купили ёлку и украсили её разноцветными шарами и яркими огнями. Мы купили подарки нашим друзьям и родственникам. Мы с мамой приготовили праздничный ужин. Мы сделали вкусные салаты, курицу с картошкой и грибами. Мы также испекли праздничный торт. Мы купили много фруктов и конфет. Мы украсили наш дом снежинками и игрушками, и поставили красивые свечи на камин. Мы постелили красивую скатерть и поставили тарелки и чашки на стол.

Наши гости пришли к нам вечером. Они подарили мне чудесные подарки. Моя тетя подарила мне плюшевого медведя.В подарок от дяди я получила красивую куклую

Потом пришел Дед Мороз. Он был такой забавный! У него был большой мешок с подарками. Я рассказала ему стишок про зиму, и он подарил мне компьютерную игру.

Наконец, наступил Новый год! Мы поздравили наших самых близких и дорогих и пожелали им счастливого нового дома. Мы наслаждались едой и напитками. Мы танцевали, пели песни и играли. Я играла на гитаре. Мы хорошо провели время вместе.

Новый год был весёлый и счастливый праздник. Мне он очень понравился.

Keeping wild animals in zoos

To begin with today wild animals suffer from many different negative features, that is why many species of them are kept in zoos. But is it good for animals to live in such limited conditions?

First of all people keep wild animals in zoos just to save them from merciless killing. For example, there are some kinds of hawks which are very rare today. That means a lot of poachers want to get rich by selling them. Secondly, people take care of animals, feed them, while in wild life they have to find food themselves. That is one of the advantages of zoos. In addition, living in zoos gives a real opportunity to animals to be protected from other animals. To be more exactly, do not have to defend their territory, to fight against their enemies, to be afraid of a sudden atack. Their life in zoos rather peaceful.

Apart from pluses of keeping animals in zoos, there are some minuses of it. Firstly, zoos are public places, that is why a lot of visitors bother animals. people take photos whith them, feed them, even anger them. All these things whithout doubt affect the animals` life negatively. Moreover, wild animals have no enough space in the cage both to run and jump. Their life is not so meaningful and interesting comparing with life in forests, steppes or jungles. The worst thing about keeping animals in zoos from my point of view is that they can loose their natural instincts and then they become dapendent on people. If we send wild animals back to wild life it will be very difficult for them to survive and what is more there is a little chance to stay alive for a long time.

On the whole, keeping wild animals in zoos is a good opportunity to save them for other generations, however zoos make wild animals rather domestic and tame, that is not so good for them. All in all I think it would be better to make more natural reserves than zoos, because they have much more in common with the wild life.
