Problems in a neighbourhood
Even if you live in the heart of the city, there's no reason why you shouldn't 1 ……………… up gardening. We can't all afford a large garden, but we can all create a space where we can follow the seasons. Whether it's a window box, a balcony or a tiny yard, anyone can have the pleasure of looking 2 ……………… plants.
A window box is a small box of plants that literally sits outside your window. Here, the choice of plants is what counts. You want a splash of colour all year 3 ………………, so choose flowers that bloom at different times of the year. Daffodils, for example, are beautiful spring flowers and will soon have you looking forward to summer. Their bright colours will also attract butterflies, bringing a touch of life. If you've got a balcony, you've got a little more freedom. In this case, the key is to 4 ……………… maximum use of the space you've got available. Put taller plants against the walls of the house, with shorter plants and flowers along the 5 ……………… of the balcony.
You can also add a water feature; a small fountain creates interest and can have a cooling effect on a hot summer's day. If your neighbours' balcony is next to yours, why not use a fast-growing plant like wisteria to form a natural barrier, giving you more privacy?

I would like to tell you a few words about my favourite movie. I like watching movies very much, especially at the cinema. I can say that I’m a cinemagoer. Every time new film comes out me and my friends go to watch it. The nearest cinema is at the mall. It’s a brand new building with comfortable halls. We’ve watched many films that I enjoyed but my favourite was one Russian film called “Elki”. It’s a bright New Year comedy, which consists of two parts: “Elki-1” and “Elki-2”. The first movie appeared a year ago and the second one appeared on screens this year. I liked both films because they were excellent. The title “Elki” translated into English means fir-trees. Traditionally, all Russian families decorate fir-trees on the New Year’s Eve. The biggest fir-tree is put up in Moscow on Red Square. The film shows how families in different cities of the country get ready for the New Year celebration. Some people even get into troublesome but funny situations. There are lots of characters in the movie who find love and friendship. I liked this film very much because there were many kind and positive moments. There were also some of my favourite actors, such as Ivan Urgant, Sergey Svetlakov, Gosha Kutsenko and others. If you haven’t seen this film yet, I recommend it.
