THE BODY LANGUAGE

There are many different nations around the world. Each nation has its own language, culture and traditions.

Nowadays people travel to foreign countries . It is easy for people from different countries to communicate with each other and learn more about each other. The language helps us in it.

Body language means  gestures, postures and facial expressions.  Sometimes this silent language

speaks louder than  words. It may tell you that the person is not sincere. You may also learn about the person’s emotions and thoughts not from the words but from his body language.

NEW YEAR IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES

There are many interesting traditions for celebrating New Year in different countries. 

In Scotland, for example, the Scottish families gather around the fire and symbolically burn all 

the hardships of the last year. When the clock strikes 12 times, the head of the family opens the 

door wide and, it is considered, that the New Year enters. Then the members of the family sit at 

the table and a happy holiday begins. If you visit Scotland in these days, be sure to bring a piece 

of ham, a bottle of whisky and a lamp of coal. Then in the coming year this house will be warm, 

fun and comfortable for everyone who lives here.  

In the USA, in New York,  thousands of people gather on the Time Square and celebrate this 

holiday together They congratulate each other with the happy New Year and sing the merry

verses and even poems. Children draw beautiful ships and hide their drawings under the pillows.

They think that these ships can help them to realize their desires.

THE PERSON I ADMIRE

If you like good fighters, then you should know Arnold Schwarzneger, because he 

is one of the most famous actors in the world. His appearance is very similar to the 

star. He’s a muscular and a handsome man with a fascinating smile.

On his way to the star he went through  a lot of difficulties. He was involved in 

various sports.

It helped him to overcome all obstacles and to become the star.

As for me, I admire this actor and I respect him very much. I am fond of sport. Now I don’t know exactly what profession I will choose. But Arnold 

Schwarzneger is a good example for me and my friends.

CATS ARE OUR BEST PETS

Cats are the most popular pets in different countries. Why do the people like cats?

They are very kind and helpful. Cats even know how to treat. The cat comes to

a sick person, lie down on his painful place and everything will be all right.

At first the ancient people liked the cats for their ability to catch mice and rats.

In ancient Egypt the cat was considered to be a sacred animal.

Some people believed that cats not only protect the houses from the mice but from evil spirits.

Other people thought that the black cats had mystical abilities and could companions of witches.

I think it is a great pleasure to have such a pet at home. I also have a cat and I love him very much!

NURSERY RHYMES

Mary had a little lamb,

With fleece as white as snow,

And everywhere that Mary went,

The lamb was sure to go.

У маленькой Мэри овечка  жила,

Как снег белоснежною шкурка была.

И всюду, куда бы малютка ни шла,

За нею овечка послушно брела.

This poem is a nursery rhyme. It is well-known in Britain and other countries. What is a nursery
rhyme? It is a short traditional poem for young children.
“Mary Had A Little Lamb ” is written  by Josephina Hale. It is about Mary Sterling, a little girl
from Sterling, Massachussets. She had a pet lamb.
One day she took him to school. Mary’s classmates were very glad to see the lamb at school. But
the teacher didn’t like it, because it was against the school rules.
I like this poem, because I like animals. I also have a pet at home. It is not a lamb but a cat.
