This is a story about Michael Scott. He grew up with a heart defect. While other kids were playing football, he was visiting hospitals.The only sports events in his life were sports programs on TV. Most of all he enjoyed watching the London Marathon.
The first London Marathon was organized when he was 14 years old. More than 46,000 people participated in the marathon. But only 30,000 participants managed to cross the finishing line.
Each year he tried to imagine what it would be like to line up before all the crowds and run the 42.2 km route. So he decided to talk to his doctor and to find out, if there was any chance to train his body and to run 42.2 kms. Then he began walking for a few minutes at a time and lifting weights. After a year of training he could already run. His doctor was thrilled with his progress and allowed him to continue forward.
When he became 19, it was the time to apply for the Marathon. He worked together with his doctor to plan his training schedule.
On race day his family and friends came to watch and support him. It was the most difficult and exciting experience in Michael's life. Many runners took four to five hours to complete the race. Michael finished the race in less than 6 hours.
Today he is still running. But he hasn't taken part in the London Marrathon again. He enjoys taking part in the atmosphere and telling his story of success story to the other athletes. He learned that as long as he has faith in himself, he can do almost anything.
1.Прежде, чем войти в общественный транспорт, дайте выйти пассажирам. Если видите, что выходит ребенок, беременная женщина или дама в возрасте, подайте руку спуститься с подножки. Такой жест могут оказывать как мужчины, так и женщины.
2.Не спешите первым войти, дайте это сделать тем, кто постарше, беременным женщинам, маленьким детям, инвалидам. На месте увидите.
Не бегите занимать свободные места. Это даже со стороны некрасиво и смешно выглядит.
3.Если вы сидите, уступайте место женщинам и детям, пожилым людям и больным. Не ждите, пока вас попросят. Не делайте вид, что заняв свободное место, вы тут же заснули. Это некрасиво.
Если вам уступили место, обязательно поблагодарите, даже, если не собираетесь садиться.
4.Передавая деньги за проезд, снимайте варежки и перчатки. Расплачиваться в перчатках - верх неприличия. Не прикрывайтесь холодом - вы не на Северном полюсе. :)

English version:
Please - the rules of conduct in public transport. Even here there is etiquette.
1. Before you enter the public transport, let the passengers leave. If you see that there is a child, a pregnant woman or a lady aged, give your hand - help to come down from the footboard. Such a gesture of help can be provided by both men and women.
2.Don't hurry to enter first, give it to those who are older, pregnant women, small children, disabled people. On the spot you will see.
Do not run to occupy vacant seats. It's even ugly and funny looks.
3. If you are sitting, give way to women and children, the elderly and the sick. Do not wait until they ask you. Do not pretend that if you occupy an empty seat, you immediately fall asleep. It's not beautiful.
If you give way, be sure to thank, even if you are not going to sit down.
4. When transferring money for travel, remove mittens and gloves. Paying for gloves is the height of indecency. Do not hide under the cold - you are not at the North Pole. :)
5.Do not make other passengers uncomfortable, blocking the passage or standing on the bandwagon.
6. If you are standing near the door, do not push at the stop, making the way into the transport, but just go out - let those who have already come come. Then again you will enter.
7. If a man goes public transport with a woman, he usually comes out first and gives the lady a hand, helping to get out. But! If other passengers are leaving between a man and his lady, see item No. 1. :)
8.Try not to ride in clothes that can contaminate other people. And make sure that your luggage does not stain or injure other passengers.
9. In public transport do not eat, do not drink, do not bite seeds, chips and nuts. Remember, this is not a dining room. In public transport, do not comb and do not paint - this is not a beauty salon.
10. When listening to music in a player or reading a book, look whether you are not interfering with others, do not poke a book into a neighbor. You can stall for as long as you want, other passengers do not need it.
Perhaps all. :)
