ПОЛУЧИТЬ ОТВЕТ One of the things we have to do on the first day of school is to talk about school rules and safety. First, we make together a list of rules the kids think we should have in our class. I always get lots of "no hitting, no pushing, no spitting" responses. I list all of their ideas on a Language Experience chart, using different colored markers on alternating lines. After we discuss their ideas for a few minutes, we talk about our school official rules and, also, the rules in our classroom. I have the following poem on a chart paper, attached to the front chalkboard all year long: We raise our hands to speak. We work quietly at our seats. We use voices soft and sweet. We keep our places tidy and neat. We are helpful, friendly, and fair. We take turns and willingly share. We usually agree on the following rules for our class: Be nice. Do what you know is right. Those two rules seem to cover most situations, and they're easy to remember. I add three other important rules: 1. Listen to the teacher and follow directions. 2. Do not interrupt Mrs. Smith when she is working with another student unless you are having a "B Emergency." B Emergencies are bathroom, blood, and barf. The kids love this rule, and it's one they respect from the very beginning. No one has ever had an "accident" in my classroom, after learning this rule. 3. Only Mrs. Smith may use the classroom sink. Students must go to the restroom to wash their hands and get drinks. I have this rule so that I will have a sanitary place to wash and disinfect my hands, which keeps me from catching their colds and runny noses.

The rooms in your flat are smaller than the rooms in our cottage. We can go for a walk in the countryside, but we can’t go to the cinema or theatre. We can enjoy peace and quiet, but we can’t see a lot of people. I guess no one can have everything they want at once. Visit me soon. All my love, Amy 5. Kirsten's home is peaceful and quiet.

Read the text and choose the correct answer for the question. I think Christmas is one of the happiest times of the year. Everyone has a smile on their face, especially children. It’s such an exciting time for kids. They can’t wait to open their presents and play with all of their new games and toys. It’s a nice time for adults too. They can catch up with their families and relax. Traditionally, the mother of the family does most of the Christmas shopping and wraps the presents. Of course, she also spends hours cooking Christmas dinner. Let’s not forget the true meaning of Christmas, though. It is not about shopping and Christmas trees and "Frosty the Snowman". It’s all about love for each other and peace around the world. Let’s hope this message stays alive. What is the true meaning of Christmas?

Come to the lake at nine. The weather is good. It’s warm and sunny. It’s a great day to go surfing or fishing on the lake. Our instructors are ready to help you. If the weather is not very good, you can go swimming in the swimming pool. Our instructors are there, too. Are you hungry at one o’clock? The Diner has hot-dogs, pizzas, salads, ice-creams, fruit — all your favorite food for lunch, and as much as you can eat! It’s video time after lunch. Or would you like to play computer games in the computer room? And our instructors can help you write your own programmes on one of the twenty ‘Apple’ computers there. Or do you want to read your book quietly in the garden? You can do that, too. What else? You can ride a horse, or ride a bike, or rollerskate, or climb the mountains near the lake! Again, the instructors are ready. Let’s go! Or do you want to do some cooking in the ‘Cookhouse’? You can make your own cakes there! In the evening there’s a barbecue at the lake or dinner in the Diner. There’s singing round the fire and dancing at the Lake Powell disco. Or would you like to play a quiet game of chess?

Her father made a mistake when he input the directions into his car GPS, so they arrived very late and waited for the campsite manager for an hour. Then it took too much time to order dinner because Julia’s little brother was so tired, that he could not decide which meals he wanted, a burger or a pizza. In the end, the family decided for him and ordered a Margarita. Things got nicer the next day. All of the family felt better quite quickly and made some friends on the campsite. And when it was time to go, no one wanted to leave.

Read the text and mark the statements True or False. The Santa Claus Wait Christmas Eve is a special time for children. Every year they wait for their presents from Santa Claus. Magic is everywhere in Tim and Robert’s house which is decorated with greeting cards, candles and lights. The sweet smell of Mum’s homemade cookies also brings to mind the coming wonders.Throughout the month before Christmas Tim and his brother Robert regularly made their beds, set the table and followed their parents’ instructions about the house. As usual, each of them wrote a letter to Santa to ask for a toy. They knew Santa wouldn’t visit naughty children. The same thing happened each year until the brothers were nine. They suddenly began to doubt that Santa could decorate their tree and millions more trees in a single night. It also seemed hard for Santa to deliver all the gifts before daybreak. Besides, they kept asking Dad how Santa could get inside their house without a chimney! Dad usually answered that Santa would surely come, but that the children should be good and go to bed early. So on Christmas Eve, after Mum had checked that there was enough food left for Santa, the boys were sent to bed as usual. Robert was soon asleep, but Tim silently lay in bed, hoping to hear Santa coming. It seemed the longest night of Tim’s life. In the early morning, when the other members of the family were still asleep, Tim bravely went to the living room to check for presents from Santa. When he switched on the light, he cried “Wow! He’s come!” In the room the Christmas tree stood in the middle of a big platform that looked like a small town with a toy railroad. It was unbelievable; a toy wonderland! Tim spent an hour among the toys and then decided to wake up Robert and his parents to see the presents. While running upstairs he saw that the cookies had disappeared. In excitement he went into his parents’ bedroom but didn’t notice that they seemed a little bit more tired than usual. “Mum! Dad! Quick! Robert! It’s fantastic!” he shouted. Everybody went down. Robert immediately saw his new car. It was wonderful. Poor Robert was upset because the car wouldn’t run. Dad said he couldn't understand why the car wouldn't start. The batteries in the car had been absolutely new. He didn’t know Tim had turned on the car and had forgotten about it when he was checking out other gifts earlier. Within that hour the batteries died, in those times they didn't last long. Tim kept silent as he didn’t want to be punished on Christmas Day.

When I Grow Up When I was in kindergarten, my class was asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Colorful crayons danced across sheets of paper to illustrate our dream occupations and cherished jobs. Our drawings were hung in the school hallway for our parents to see at Back to School Night. I remember looking down the line and seeing pictures of pretty ballerinas dancing, brave firefighters putting out a blaze, and fearless astronauts leaping across the moon – admirable careers that were seen as typical dreams of five-year-old kids. My picture showed a stick figure with brown disheveled hair holding a carton of orange juice over a large rectangle that was supposed to be a counter. Underneath was my barely legible handwriting: “When I grow up, I want to work at the Market Basket because it would be fun to swipe orange juice across the scanner and talk to customers.” To this day my parents won’t let me forget that out of everything I could have aspired to be, my five-year-old self wished to work at the local grocery store. When we are young, questions of what we want to be when we grow up are common. Yet we are not expected to respond with an answer that is likely to come true. However, when we become teenagers, we are asked the very same question twice as often. The difference is, now we are supposed to answer with confidence. Teenagers are expected to know exactly what they want to be and how they are going to achieve that goal. Not all of us can be so sure at this age. Even though I am in high school, I cannot answer convincingly. But I don’t consider that a bad thing. How am I supposed to know what I will want to spend my time doing at the age of thirty or forty? When I think about the future, I definitely don’t see myself working at the counter of the Market Basket, but in reality, if that was what would make me happy, I would do it. So, the next time someone asks me what I want to be when I grow up, I will simply say, “I want to be happy.” And it is hope that drives us in this direction. “Hope is not a grain of sand,” the Gambian poet, Lenrie Peters, echoes, but no matter how tiny it is, it would still be sufficient to keep the youth alive and sane in most extreme circumstances. It is hope that spurs the youth on, to be up and doing. It is hope that keeps the youth going no matter how hard it is. Nelson Mandela as a youth hoped against all hope for the liberation of his people and he actually lived to see his hope being fulfilled. Robinson Crusoe, cast away on an uninhabited island, hoped against all hope for survival and this propelled him to start from scratch and build a compound and large farm single-handedly. Far away in “Another Country: the Land of Literature,” Sister Eileen Sweeney sums up through her writings that Hope is the anchor that keeps “the ship” called “youth” steadfastly held together no matter the high and stormy sea of passion, pain, distress or tribulation that batter against it. Happiness is a destination for everyone. We may want to walk different paths in life, narrow or wide, crooked or straight, but we all want to be happy wherever we end up. Choose your path, but don’t worry too much about choosing wisely. Make a mistake or two and try new things. But always remember, if you’re not happy, you’re not at the end of your journey yet.

But about ten years ago I lived in a small town in the countryside. There weren’t so many multistoreyed houses or cars. I also remember that there weren’t any motorways. Why? Because the town was very small and we didn’t need them! I can remember its old shops, the grocer’s and the baker’s where we went to buy fresh bread every morning. It was my duty and I enjoyed it though it was very early in the morning. It also had a small library. We didn’t have many books at home so I spent hours there reading or just looking through those amazing old books. There was a small cafe on central square with a little garden around it. My friends and I often had tea and cakes and sometimes sandwiches there after school. I knew the owner, Mrs. Andrews, who was a fantastic cook! And at weekends the square became a vibrant and colourful place as it was market time. Shopping at a street market was a special experience. It was a big event for the whole town and a time to meet friends, talk and mix with different people. There was a great choice of entertainment, too. We had a cinema, two theatres, a football pitch and a small music hall. I always had something interesting to do or somewhere to go to. I often go there, it’s like travelling back to your childhood.
