25 November 2014

Dear Joyce Grant,

On the last week I have read your article "Blood Donors Needed: Canadian Blood Services". I am writing to you to express my opinion about it.

The article makes to think that many people live and think only about themselves. They do not interested in other peoples´ problems. However, some people all over the world are suffering because of some diseases and need blood for the operation. Other people nothing think about these people until it touches them.

In my opinion it is not difficult to spend some time to go to the hospital and donate blood. Nobody suffer because of it but other way round, you help somebody and perhaps, save somebody`s life.

In conclusion, I would like to say that it was interesting to read this article and thanks to it I learned some new facts about blood.

Thank you for your attention

Yours sincerely,

Tatiyana Sergeeva

Are Traditions Important?

I think tradition is very important thing in people lives. Someone has personal tradition, other has tradition with his friend or family. The main tradition for me is family tradition. Because it can be inherited across the generations and it is interesting, when you do something as your ancestor, who lived a few years ago. Also it unite family and it`s history.
Countries and towns in them have traditions too. Personally, I think that every inhabitant of his country must to know it`s traditions. It do our lives more exciting and amazing.

Writting a Summery

The headline of the article I have read is "Climate Change: Facing The Future". The author is Emma Douty. It is published on the 5th of June in 2012 in British Council.
The article is about future of our planet. The author starts by telling, that global warming will in fact cause extreme weather conditions. In 1000 years or so, low coastal regions (such as Florida in the USA) and more will be submerged underwater.
Further the author says about places, where will be able to live. Unless we can find a way to evolve into mermaids and mermen, which doesn`t look promising, the only solution is to move elsewhere. Countries that we consider to be hot these days will be even more so if temperatures increase by 5, 10, even 15 degrees; countries like Australia and India, among others.
The author concludes, if people start to realise how their actions now can have such a profound impact on future generations, they will change their attitude and start to think more about caring for the environment, in order to save it. If not, we`ll be living in a world underwater and will need to think of a way to turn ourselves into mermaids.

Write a story about riding on a train with an honest robber, who returns stolen money.

I like traveling very much. And I try do this every summer. Usually I travel abroad with my family, and sometimes with my friends by plane. But I remember a case, when I went abroad alone. I went in Moscow on a train. It was the second riding, when I went alone somewhere. I was sitting near the window and going to sleep because the weather was bad: there was the rain and sometimes the thunder. In the compartment, there I was, sat a woman with her little daughter and a men. The woman was calm, she read a book and her daughter slept. The man was embarrassed and restless. He searched something in the bag and I thought, that he was afraid. After some minutes he took a little brown purse out the bag. The woman was surprised. It was her purse and she snatched it out of his hands. Turned out, he was a real petty robber. Up to this I don`t understand, why he returned the purse. He stole many things and even didn`t think about this. I hope, that it was the last theft in his life.
