My review about "The moon and sixpence" by Somerset Maugham I've already read "The moon and sixpence" by Somerset Maugham. In this book we introduce with Charles Strickland (his prototype is Paul Gauguin), who leave his wife, his children, his country for being an artist. He moves to Paris and lives there, then he goes to Tahiti and realizes that this place should be his home. I didn't like this book. I think people don't suppose to leave their children and they must love their motherland, but not some more beautiful and sunny places. Although I respect people who can put everything and follow their dream. I think this book is very lengthy. I wasn't interested, but in the future I'd like to read something else by Maugham. Did you read "The moon and sixpence"? Did you like it? Which else Maugham's books can you recommend me?

Io e viaggi. Non sono mai stata all'estero, ma voglio moltissimo! Mi piacerebbe andare in Italia, Spagna, Norvegia, Svezia, USA, Cipro. Il mio sogno è visitare Venezia. Abito in Russia, in città che si chiama Murmansk. In Russia ho visitato Kola, Mosca, Ryazan, Murom, Diveevo, Sochi e qualche vilaggi. Mi piace viaggere, ma è così caro in Russia! E tu, che paesi o città hai visitato?

About food. Food is pleasure for me, because I like tasty dishes and to eat at all:) Usually I have three meals a day. For breakfast I eat cereal with apple or hot sandwiches with cheese and tomatoes. For lunch I usually eat soup or pizza. For dinner I eat salad. My favourite food are cheese, pizza and Greek salad. I like to cook too, but I do it not often. I don't calculate fats, proteins and carbohydrates I eat. And what about you?

Il mio collegio. Io studio in un collegio di pedagogia in Murmansk (Rusia). Mi piace lo molto! Purtroppo, sono ammalata spesso e non vado ci. Ho tre amici in collegio, `e Tanya, Lisa e Anna. Mi piace parlare con loro, andare in altro edificio (il mio collegio ha tre edifici), con Tanya spesso camminiamo e visitiamo ogni altro. Noi studiamo la pedagogia, la psichologia, la metodica di insegnamente, la istoria, la istoria di Kola Penisola, la scienza di regione, la matematica, la calligrafia, il russo, l'inglese, la educazione fisica e gli altri soggetti. Io studio per essere insegnante per i bambani in scuola elementaria. In Russia l'insegnante in scuola elemenaria insegno tutti lezioni, escluso l'inglese, la educazione fisica e la musica. Noi abbiamo una sala da pranzo, un sale per la educazione fisica, molti pianoforti, l'aula per insegnare i bambini con metodo di Montessori, l'aula per ascolto inglese e gli altri cosi. In prossimo anno il mio collegio avr`a 85 anni, `e uno di pi`u vecchi edifici sul Kola Penisola.

Le mie gatte. Mi piacerebbe raccontare di le mie gatte. Ho due gatte, si chiamano Mura e Ninyska. Amo loro moltissimo! Mura é una gatta grande e paffuto, lei ha la pelliccia marrone e arance, ha sette o otto anni. Ninyska é una bambina di Mura, ha cinque anni, é piccola e magro, ha la pelliccia grigia, nera e bianca. Cinque anni fa abbiamo prendeto Mura da via, e abbiamo saputo che é in stato interessante, e fra due mesi quattro gattini hanno apparito, si chiamono Ninyska, Sofia, Tigra e Shocoladka. Quando Sofia, Tigra e Shocoladka abbiamo avuto circa 6 mesi, loro hanno avuto gli altri padroni, ma Ninyska ha rimaneto con noi. Adesso Mura non ricorda che Ninyska é la sua bambina, e loro combattono spesso, ma a volte loro dormono insieme.

Futuro Semplice. Il testo. Domani io andrò in mio collegio, avrò sei lezioni - la educazione fisica , l'inglese e disegno. Dopo ritornerò a casa, mangerò il zuppe con il pane, leggerò il libro "La signora Bovari", farò i miei compiti per il prossimo giorno, suonò un po' la chitarra, studerò inglese o italiano, mangerò qualcosa per la cena e andrò a dormire. E tu, che cosa farai domani? Tu andrai all'universita, avrai quattro lezioni, poi ritornerai in tua casa, farai i tuoi compiti e dopo andrai in palestra. In weekend lei andrà in un teatro con la sua mamma, camminerà circa due ore e andrà a un negozio. Ma in lunedì dovrà andare a scuola per studiare. Fine.

A paraphrase of the 2nd chapter of the 2nd book about Harry Potter Hi! I'd like to retell you the 2nd chapter of the book "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" - "Dobby's Warning". Harry comes to his bedroom and see a strange little creature with bat-like ears and orb-like eyes. The name of this creature is Dobby, he's a house-elf. His behavior is bizarre, he permanently cry or knock his head against some things. Dobby tells that he must to punish himself, because he came to Harry without his owner's permission. At this time Harry's aunt and uncle have guests, they hears strange sounds of the Harry's room. Uncle Vernon goes to this room and threaten Harry. Dobby tells Harry that it will be horrible things at Hogwarts this year. He pray him to not return to the Hogwarts, but Harry wants to his school very much, he can't live in muggle world. Harry recognize that Dobby was stealing the letters of his friends - Ron, Hermione and Hagrid. Harry perceives his friends' handwriting and tries to take letters away, but Dobby runs down to the ground floor. Harry runs over him. Dobby's in the kitchen. He hangs the Aunt Petunia's festive pudding in the air and pray Harry to not return to the Hogwarts again. Harry refuse, and Dobby drops the pudding on the floor. Guests are in shock. Aunt and uncle say that Harry is abnormal. Promptly an owl flies in the kitchen and brings Harry a letter. Guests are scared, they are going away. Uncle Vernon makes Harry read the letter aloud. The letter is from the Ministry of Magic. It says that if Harry will use the magic yet again, he'll be expelled. Uncle rages that Harry hid that he can't conjure outside school. Uncle lockes Harry in his room and fit the bars, so he won't be able to get to school. It goes on 3 days. On the night he sees peculiar dreams and hears unusual sounds. He gets up and sees his friend Ron's freckled face at the window. The end.
