I have many friends. I like my friends.
When we gather, we play computer games,
chat, make lots of noise. I like noise.
To my mind, people should have many
friends as possible, because if you have not
friends, you just become very dull and
boring person. It is fine when you have
friends, who are able to understand you and
support and help in difficult situations.
We have much in common and we enjoy
communicating with each other.
One of my friends is Sergey. He is
thirteen. I can say that he is a good guy. He
is a schoolboy. He wants to be a
businessman like his father. He studies well,
but he is not a hardworking person.
When we gather together we like to play
computer games, to watch new movies and
discuss them. His favourite subject at school
is Maths. He is keen on Maths. I guess he
might become a great mathematician, but he
wants to be like his father.
We are friends for a long time. We trust
each other. We have some personal secrets.
I can tell him about my troubles and he
always helps me, if he can.
I'm happy to have such a good friend as
Sergey.
Мой лучший друг
У меня много друзей. Я люблю моих
друзей. Когда мы собираемся, мы играем
в компьютерные игры, болтаем, много
шумим. Я люблю шум.
На мой взгляд, люди должны иметь
так много друзей, сколько это возможно,
потому что если у вас мало друзей, вы
становитесь очень унылым и скучным
человеком. Это великолепно, когда у вас
много друзей, которые понять
вас и поддержать в трудных
ситуациях.
У нас много общего, и мы любим
общаться друг с другом.
Один из моих друзей — Сергей. Ему
тринадцать. Я могу сказать, что он —
парень что надо. Он школьник. Он хочет
стать бизнесменом, как его отец. Он
хорошо учится, но он нетрудолюбивый
человек.
Когда мы собираемся вместе, мы
любим играть в компьютерные игры,
смотреть новые фильмы и обсуждать их.
Его любимый предмет в школе —
математика. Он очень любит математику.
Я предполагаю, что он мог бы стать
великим математиком, но он хочет быть
похожим на своего отца.
Мы дружим уже давно. Мы доверяем
друг другу. У нас есть несколько личных
тайн. Я могу рассказать ему о моих
неприятностях, и он всегда мне,
если может.
Я счастлив, что у меня такой хороший
друг как Сергей.
I think it is an interesting type of transport for tourists. Owners of travel companies use pedicabs as exotic vehicles. Pedicabs allow the traveler slowly to see around an unfamiliar city and admire the architectural masterpieces and historical monuments, to make stops at shops and cafes. Usage of conventional and low-cost pedicabs as the driving force, as well as high floatation has made this type of transport more popular not only among tourists, but also for those who live in large cities, where people are in a big rush or spend time in traffic jams. However, pedicabs, like any other road transport, are required to undergo an annual inspection. The driver must obey all traffic rules, signs and traffic light signals. But at the same time a driver of pedicabs should have a strong character, because he need be polite and punctual throughout all working day, and also he should know streets and avenues of the city.
Despite all the obvious advantages of such vehicles, pedicabs are suitable only to countries with a warm climate, they can be used before winter sets in with its full severeness.
