A website review One website I realy like to use is VK. It' a social network in Russia, but it's available for all countries. One reason I'd recommend it is because it's the easiest way you can chat with your friends and look what's new happened in their life. Almoust everybody in Russia has a profile there. It means you can find your old friend even you remember only his name and the school, where you went together. Another feature I like about VK is an ability to watch video and listen music. You can find whatever you want to watch or listen and save it at your personal page. But of course a lot of these files could be inaccessible because of the law about authors' rights, so keep it in mind. Finally, I would recommend this website to anybody who want to find new friends or follow the affinity groups. It's far easier than Facebook or another social networks I know.

The advantages and disadvantages of modern technologies Modern technologies have become ingrained in our everyday lives. We use computers, mobile phones, cars and other things all day and night. We find it really helpful, however, there are also disadvantages with modern technologies. One of the main advantages of modern techologies can be seen in acces to information. The discoveries of computers and Internet network have given milliones of peole a new way of communication. It's became easier to find answers for your questions and learn something new. In addition to this, modern technologies have improved the quality of our lives by discoveries in medical science, industry, ways of manadgment and so on. On the other hand, modern technologies are responsible for the pollution of environment, climate change and enimal extinction. As well as that, it makes people lazy and less socialized. As far as I'm concerned, modern technology really help people in a daily life. In general, the advantages outweight the disadvantages. However, it's important to use all this technologies not forget about consequences.

My usual day I work as a yoga teacher, but now only once a week. So it's likely that I'm a housekeeper) I get up at 6.30 a.m., take a shower and drink a glass of water. After that I usually pray to God and meditate. I can't start my day without "spiritual tunning" - it helps me stay consious during all day. I make a breakfast at 9.00 a.m. then we eat with my husband and I see him off to work. After breakfast I'm studying. I learn something that I like every day. Usually it's English class, medicine class, cooking class and needlework. I have one-hour break for chatting with friends and fhone my parents. Further I do the light cleaning and start cooking the lunch and supper. I like to make a dinner of three courses. So it takes about two-three hours. I prefer listen a good music or some educational programmes while I'm cooking. After lunch I relax: read a book or embroider the paintings. Also I can go for a walk or meet with my friends. My husband return from work about 7 p.m. We have supper and share time together. I do the light cleaning in the house and we go to bed about 10 p.m.

Teenadgers today Some people believe that teenagers today are generally rude, lazy and badly behaved. Other people, however, think that teenagers have a bad reputation for no reason. And what do you think about it? Let's try to get to the bottom of this problem. When I was a teenadger, I remember how often my parents or grandparents told me: "When I was your age I behaved much better then you! Your generation doesn't show regard for elders " and something like that. I used to feel shame and embarrassment after all this. Sometimes I was so fret about it, especially knowing how my peers behave with their olders. It was unfair. I tryed over and over demonstrate that I'm a good person, that my parents could be proud of me. But if I only made one mistake the olders began battologize. One day I asked mysel: "Why I'm so badly behaved and rude? Why I don't able to be polite and amenable with my olders? Why I can't understand what to do?". Aftrer some time I got it. I wasn't able to be polite because I didn't see a good role model in my life. Olders only told about their generation, but didn't show how it was in their generation. Of course when we argued about it, they described how it was. But it doesn't enough. If you want your next generation will be better then your, show every day in your life the best behavior, the best attitude, the best habits. And forgot about worse. Make your life the best role model for your childrens and they will never ask themselfs: "Why I don't know how to be a good person?". Now when I become adult I understood it. We bring up the new generation, we give them the best and the worse that we have. That's why before judging your children, we should judje yourself. Thank you

Please check my letter to pen-friend Dear, Susie Hi! I'm so glad to get a letter from you. It's fantastic that your parents let you have a pet - the best birthday gift, I think) If you still didn't make a choice, I can give you my advice. You know that I used to have a dog. It was amaing, because I adore dogs! But it also was quite difficult. You have to get up early and go for a walk every day - it's not for lazy girls, you know. Moreover you have to train your pet because if not it ruins your house. So having a cat it's easy) But dogs are so playful, more then cats. I know that you make a right choise. Let me know about it. Love, Maria

My family I have a big extended family. But at first I want to say about my immediate family. I have a mum, dad and sisters. I love them so much! I and my sis are twins, but not identical twins. We just born at the same time. And we are so different. I think I take after my dad, we had the same build and face structure. And my sis looks a lot like my mum. It's our first difference. Also we have a different character. I'm more libirater than my sister, and more passionate. She is more modest and reserved. I believe that we're just halfs of one and complement each other. Also I have a lot of relatives. My extended family include about 50 persons) It's because all of my relatives have two or more children in their family. It's so nice when we all come together at my grandparent's home. I can look how our family grows and we become stronger day by day, age by age. I believe that big family gives you an understunding that in spite of our differences - we all a one family and we love each other. When you realaze it you can love people who have a difference natioanality, different language, different way of thinking or smth like that. You can love anyone because you feel that we're just a one big family.
