Science has been a driving force behind the evolution of the modern world. British scientists have made immense contribution to the different fields including physics and biology.
Isaac Newton is considered by many to be one of the most influential scientists of all time and a key figure in the scientific revolution. He developed the theory of colour, studied the speed of sound and formulated the laws of motion and universal gravitation (published in 1687), which dominated scientific view of the physical universe for the next three centuries.
The main discoveries of Michael Faraday (1791 -1867) include those of electromagnetic induction and electrolysis.
Charles Darwin introduced his revolutionary theory of evolution in his book 'On the Origin of Species' published in 1859. It changed the way the world look at the creation of life.
Many English inventors of the present and of the past literally changed our world.
Steam engine constructed by a Scottish inventor and engineer James Watt (1736 - 1819) was fundamental to the changes brought by the Industrial Revolution in both his native Great Britain and the rest of the world.
The first mechanical computer created by a mathematician and philosopher Charles Babbage (1791-1871) eventually led to more complex designs.
But the computer we know today would not be possible without a pioneering British computer scientist Alan Turing. During the Second World War this mathematician and his team were successful in deciphering the German coding machine 'Enigma'.
If Babbage is considered by some to be a «father of the computer», Turing is widely declared to be the father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence.
And the author of undoubtedly one of the most revolutionary inventions of the 20th century - the World Wide Web (WWW), - is another British Computer Scientist Sir Tim Berners-Lee (born in 1955). In 2004, Berners-Lee was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for his pioneering work.
Some of the discoveries and invention of these scientists have inspired some people to take up science as a career. The list of British scientist and their contribution towards science is a long one and embraces several centuries up to modern days.

The Klyazma is a river in the European part of Russia, in the Moscow and Vladimir regions; the most abundant left tributary of the Oka.
The river is associated with the development of the North-East of Russia, the Vladimir-Suzdal Principality (XII century).
The Klyazma river originates near the town of Solnechnogorsk of the Moscow region. The length of the river is 686 km, the basin area is 42.5 thousand km2 – the 1st in length and the 2nd in area of the basin (after Moksha) tributary of the Oka [*]. The river basin stretches from West to East, is asymmetric, and the left-Bank part of the basin is three times larger. It flows into the Oka river 90 km from its mouth. From the right Bank fall Sudogda and Suvorowi. Main left-Bank tributaries: Ucha, Vorya, Kirzhach, Peksha, Nerl, Uvod, Teza, Lukh. In the lower part of the river basin there are many swamps, about 15

Sport is very important in our life. The general belief is that a person who goes in for sports can’t be weak and ill. Physically inactive people get old earlier that those, who find time for sport activity. And of course good health is better than good medicine.
People all over the world are fond of sports and games. In our country sport is being widely popularized as well. The most popular kinds of sport are football, volleyball, basketball, tennis, figure-skating, aerobics, ping-pong and swimming. A lot of people are fond of jogging. In schools and colleges sport is a compulsory subject. Many young people attend sport sections. Some of them dream to become professional sportsmen.
As for me, I can’t imagine my life without sport. In summer I go jogging every morning and when I have free time I attend swimming pool. In winter I like to skate with my friends. It’s fun. Also I’m fond of aerobics. First of all aerobics helps to keep myself fit. It also attracts me because it resembles dancing.
In conclusion I’d like to say that I’m absolutely sure that doing sports is the best way to keep fit. Sport makes our bodies strong, it prevents us from getting too fat, and makes us more self-organized and better disciplined.
