Politeness—a Sign of Culture
Culture
I think politeness is one of the signs of
culture, but real culture includes more
than simply being polite.
How far does politeness go?
Is it only saying, “Good morning!” and
“Excuse me, please!”
No, it’s more than that.
Politeness can be shown everywhere.
When we write something at school or
at home what our teachers must read,
they are glad when it looks neat and is
easy to read.
Your readiness to Help Someone
Someone
In our everyday life we meet people
who are always ready to help.
And it is important to say that such
people help not because they are
asked to help.
In this way they give an example of
how people can be attentive to each
other.
As an English proverb goes: “He
teaches who gives, and he learns who
receives”.
So each person, a grownup or
a pupil, ought to do good because he
wants to do so, not because he is told
to help.
The Life of Ukrainian youth Nowadays
Nowadays when our independent
state Ukraine is developing, much
attention is paid to our youth.
The desire of our young people
to become qualified specialists in
future motivates them to enter higher
educational establishments.
For young people higher education is
the method of developing their talents
and abilities, their creative potential.
That is why beside their studies they
are also engaged in different clubs
and organizations.
The Life of american youth
Young people in the USA also have
their problems and hobbies.
I would like to tell about some of them.
At American schools there are many
different circles for schoolchildren,
for example, a school literature
society, sports society, and so on.
Many young American people are
fond of sports.
They attend school sports clubs.
There are sports teams at schools and
different competitions are organized
quite often.
Besides, there are a lot of school
parties.
Life of youthin Great Britain and the USa
Britain and the USa
Youth and youth movement over dec
ades have become important factors
in the life of both countries.
Numerous youth organization have
been formed since the Second World
War, uniting young people from all
classes and sections of the population.
In the USA there exist Young Republi
can Federation, Young Christian Asso
ciation, some religious organizations
for Jewish youth.
There also exist some political organi
zations like Students’ Coordinative
Committee of NonViolent Action and
Students For Democratic Society.
Youth organization Greenpeace deals
with the most urgent ecological prob
lems of today’s world.
The Weather Forecast
We get wet through when we are
caught in a rainstorm without
a coat.
Sometimes we put on a sweater
and then find that the weather has
become hot.
We do not always know what weather
to expect.
On TV and radio there are daily
weather forecasts.
Sometimes, the forecast is not quite
right as the weather is not an easy
thing to forecast.
All day and night, weathermen are
collecting information from ships,
planes, weather stations, and space
stations.
Today’s Weather and My Attitudeto It
Attitudeto It
For the last several days the weather
has been unsettled.
But I like it most of all.
When I woke up today, the day
seemed to be dull and grey.
But it cleared up, and now
the sun is shining brightly, it is very
warm.
I have noticed that most of the days
start like that: the sky is cloudy, there
is no sun, the wind is rather strong,
but then it often clears up.
I like warm weather very much.
But I don’t like extremes: it is not good
when it is sultry.
My Favourite Season
I like autumn very much.
The autumn months are: September,
October, November.
Children and students begin their
studying on the first of
September.
Autumn is the golden season, when
everything becomes ripe and the
woods are red and yellow.
Many of the fields are bare already,
and the tractors are at work.
They are ploughing the fields, they are
preparing them for the spring.
Some of the fields are green with
winter wheat or rye.
Winter
When December is approaching there
is a breath of winter in the autumn air.
It is getting colder day by day.
The cold makes the hands cold and
stiff.
Soft, white snowflakes are falling
thick and fast covering the ground
and roofs.
When the branches of the fir trees and
pines are covered with snow they look
beautifully.
The snow lies thick upon the ground
and birds hop about looking for food.
A lot of icicles all glittering in the sun
hang from roofs of houses.
autumn
In September summer yields to
autumn.
The days become shorter and the
nights become longer.
The sun rays are not so bright and
warm.
The fruit trees that not long ago
bloomed with flowers are heavy with
juicy apples and pears.
Harvest time is a rush season for
farmers.
They gather sunflowers and maize,
potatoes and cabbage, turnip and cu
cumbers, carrots and tomatoes.
Early autumn is the period of flaming
colours, when the landscape is gold
and brown.
