Living without electricity. If we have to live without electricity for a week it will be not so good. We are in the habit of (мы привыкли) living in a comfortable conditions and it would not be easy to dispense with (обходиться без) different labour-saving devices (бытовые приборы). If the blackout happens, the lights will turn off over the all house. All significant devices like a refrigerator, washing machine and TV-set will not work. Like Saveliy Kramorov in “Gentlemen of Fortune” movie said: “That's that! The movie will not be go on! The electricity have finished ”. (Все! Кина не будет! Электричество кончилось!)  Also we will not able to prepare meals or boil a tea if we have an electric cooker. Our computer will not work also. And we will not able to charge our mobile phone. Also it is not comfortable to take a shower by candlelight. All the above mentioned were the disadvantages of blackout. But we can have the advantages also. There are a lot of ugly news which we can listen on the radio or watch on TV. And by this way we will be able to hide from them.

The movie. Cinematograph is rather new kind of art. Its history is very shot in comparison with thousand-year history of music, painting and theater. But it doesn’t stop the movie to stay the most popular type of art during some decades. The great British director Alfred Hitchcock said once: “The movie – it is life, from which was delayed the spots of boredom'”.

Advantages and disadvantages of wealth. Advantages. In my opinion if you have a lot of money you can develop your children by different ways, for example, your can send (the?)children to developing children's clubs or send (the?) children to sport. But on the other side, when kids see the money pressure it can be a cause of action to earn money and success in a future. Disadvantages. But occasionally wealth gives a poisonous influence for children. They don’t understand the value of toys for example. If adult don’t limit children in their wishes it will be a failure.

Upbrining I think upbrining is one of the main qualities which need to grow up a success. Because a large part of the success depends on an art of making agreement, find a common language between people and prepossess to yourself. We need to teach our children these things.

Review of the movie The Great Gatsby. After watching, this movie received disputable emotions: I could not understand if I liked this film or dislike. And now I have a double point of view. The main idea of movie is relationships between people, great force of love, human behavior, problems of choice and money. I think, the movie’s beginning is slightly slow (затянутое), but after a while it happens a quite interesting plot’s conclusion. This movie shows an era of the lost generation. The producer conveyed the atmosphere of those years the best way. His work is impressive. This movie is about big and light love a poor boy Gatsby to young girl Daisy. Gatsby lived by his dream: to drop all things to feet lovely woman. From a poor boy he became a very rich man. He wanted to return his past and to be with his beloved. Gatsby carried the dream in his heart until his last days. He did not retreat a single step. And so, I think Gatsby deserves respect (he earns respect). What can I say about this movie: I like the brilliant cast of the film, I like actors playing (especially Leonardo DiCaprio playing), also I like magnificent suits of heroes. But it annoys me color and musical abundance at the beginning of movie. I think, Luhrmann overdoed it (переборщить). And sometimes you catch yourself thinking (ловить себя на мысли) that you don’t give an eye to the fate of heroes as for change of scene. I dislike the ending this movie also. I supposed the happy end!

I had never been so angry in my whole life (my homework). I want to tell you a story which happened this night. At 00.30 a. m. I woke up because of hearing loud music and loud voices on a lower floor. It were my downstairs neighbours. They were in drink. People yelled to each other and behaved themself very noisy. It continued until 06.00 a. m. I don’t know if they celebrate some holiday or some matter (reason), because last time the similar incident have repeated. I had never been so angry in my whole life. If I was a man, I would push them face! :)
