News article: would it be wrong to eradicate mosquitoes? 

Привет! Dans cette petite histoire  je parle de la difficulté de choisir un cadeau. J’utilise beaucoup d’impératifs. J’utilise la méthode TPRS comme d’habitude. 

В ноябре у папы Кати день рождения. Ему будет 60 лет. Катя не знает, что ему подарить, потому что у него много хобби и интересов.  Поэтому она попросила родственников и друзей дать ей совет. 
- Не дари ему деньги! Папа очень хочет научиться играть на гитаре. Подари ему гитару! – сказала мама. 
- Папа любит читать фантастику. Подари ему книги братьев Стругацких. Но не дари ему подписку на электронную библиотеку. Ему нравится читать только бумажные книги, - посоветовал брат.
- Твой папа очень активный. Он никогда не сидит на месте. Подари ему туристическую путёвку на Байкал! - предложили друзья.
Все идеи были очень хорошие. Как трудно выбрать идеальный подарок близкому человеку…
