ответ:Dolls that sing and dance, cars that move at the touch of a button, and flying planes are the toys that make children happy these days. Now let's take a trip back in time. What toys did children have in the 18th century or in Victorian* times?

In those days, building blocks with letters of the alphabet written on them were very popular. These toys helped children learn while playing. Other toys-such as model kitchens, doll houses, toy stoves, and tea sets-taught girls how to run a household. Dolls made of wood, clay and wax were also very popular with girls and prepared them to become mothers.  And for boys, tool kits, trains, cars, trucks, and garages aroused interest in engineering. Although both girls and boys loved their rocking horses and Teddy bears.

The term “nature” includes all around us: trees, lakes, mountains, seas, animals, flowers, etc. So, nature is something special not controlled by humans. How marvelous and rich nature is!

Human beings have been closely attaching to nature since time out of memory. In period of paganism people were frightened of such natural sources as storm, thunder, earthquake and downpour. That’s why they made some sacrifices to the mother-nature because ancient people believed it could gain nature’s favour and make their life easier and better.

In our century the attitude to it has been changed. People learned to read the sky, avoid dangerous results of “nature’s rage” and explain all the phenomena scientifically. Now people know how to deal with nature for personal use – they created hydro-electric power stations, solar batteries, lighting conductors, successful agriculture systems and other interesting things. We use natural resources permanently and it helps us survive, but they are not endless and we should not forget to take care about it.

Sometimes we forget about beauty and richness of nature around us because we are just used to thinking about ourselves and vested interests. You can notice many miracles if you pay attention to them: twitter of birds, sounds of rain and wind, great mountains, green hills and bright sunlight.

I guess that the nature can be compared with a piece of art or even a master who creates all these beautiful and fantastic things around us. Nature is responsible for our mood and can make us happy and inspired or sad and depressed. Probably, indescribable waterfalls, eye catching meadows with flowers, mysterious mountains attract people’s attention because human being is just a small part of nature and can’t exist separately from it.

Перевод

Понятие «природы» включает все, что нас окружает: деревья, горы, моря, животных, цветы и т.д. Итак, природа – что-то особенное, что человек не в силах контролировать. Как она прекрасна и богата!

Человек был тесно связан с природой с незапамятных времен. Во времена язычества люди боялись таких природных явлений, как шторм, гром, землетрясение и ливень. Именно поэтому они делали жертвоприношения матери-природе, так как думали, что это задобрит ее и сделает их жизнь проще и лучше.

В наше время эта ситуация изменилась. Люди научились предсказывать погоду, избегать опасных последствий «природного гнева» и объяснять все явления с научной точки зрения. На сегодняшний день человек знает, как использовать природу в собственных целях – люди придумали гидроэлектростанции, солнечные батареи, громоотводы, успешные сельскохозяйственные системы и другие интересные вещи. Мы используем природные ресурсы постоянно, и это нам выживать, однако они не бесконечны и нам не следует забывать заботиться об этом.

Иногда мы забываем о красоте и богатстве природы, так как думаем только о себе и личных интересах. Если вы присмотритесь, то заметите огромное количество чудес вокруг: щебетание птиц, звуки дождя и ветра, величественные горы, зеленые холмы и яркий солнечный свет.

Мне кажется, что природу можно сравнить с произведением искусства, или даже с творцом, создающим все эти красивые и фантастические вещи вокруг нас. Природа влияет на наше настроение и может нас сделать счастливыми и вдохновленными или заставить грустить и впасть в уныние. Возможно, эти неподдающиеся описанию водопады, завораживающие поляны с цветами, таинственные горы привлекают человека, так как он является лишь малой частью этой природы и не может находиться отдельно от нее.
