Task 1. Read Gina’s fashion blog which is for young teenagers but has a lesson for everyone.
My cousin Anna was four years older than me, and she always wore really nice clothes. She invited me to her eighteenth birthday party and of course, I wanted to wear my new dress, but when I showed her she said, “Gina, if I were you, I would wear a different dress.” I was surprised! “Why?” I said, “This is really fashionable. “I know,” she said, “but the thing is, that dress doesn’t suit you. It’s not your style, and red and orange are not your colours.” And she was right!
It made me realize that I was a slave to fashion – and I didn’t want to be! I know I tell you about the latest fashions every week, but being fashionable isn’t the most important thing. Anna would only wear something if she looked good in it, and I want to pass this lesson on to you. Thanks to her, I began to think more carefully about what styles, clothes and colours made me look good, and which ones didn’t (like that embarrassing dress!) So now, if a dress wasn’t my style, I wouldn’t buy it. I’m only interested in making fashion work for me, so no long dresses and definitely no red and orange!

Может и не по этому плану но все же)) What is friendship? Some people will say that it is a feeling of mutual liking between two or more people, other will add that it is a state when one person understands and supports the other one.To my mind friendship can be compared to a tree. Its seed should find good soil and under good conditions it will grow into a tree. As the years go by the tree stands firmer and firmer on the ground. And if it is strong enough, it will survive all the storms and winds. But to help it, we should take care of it and love it.The most important feeling that exists between friends is trust. It newer appears by itself, it's the result of a long friendship and this feeling is very valuable. Respect and tolerance are also very important; it means that you don't criticize your friend's way of living, but try to understand him, discuss problems with him and explain to him what you think is good and what is bad. A friend is a person who can help you in time, lend you any sum of money for a long period of time without any percent, whom you can wake up in the middle of the night just to say you feel worried or who is eager to do everything for you waiting nothing in return, who supports you in all your beginnings and who will never betray you.Lucky are those people who have friends. I'm happy to have lots of friends, too. Some of them are very close, some are less. But all of them make my life interesting and enjoyable.I appreciate friendship. It makes happiness grow brighter and grief less painful, because we have friends to share it with. When we doubt our ability to fulfill our aspiration or to reach our secret goal it is our best friend who gives us a spark of assurance. And we trust our friends and we are grateful to them. Friendship is a bridge between loneliness and fellowship, frustration and confidence, despair and hope, setbacks and success. That's why a true friend is a priceless gift. They are rich who have true friends, says a proverb and I agree.
Здравствуйте,сейчас я поговорю с вами на важную тему."Почему мы все разные?".Действительно люди, живущие на Земле, отличаются цветом кожи, ростом, разрезом глаз и имеют еще массу различий. Даже в одной семье все ее члены уникальны – у них различные отпечатки пальцев, роговица глаз, рост, строение лица...Положительное качество : Каждый человек индивидуален.Отрицательное качество: Людям нужны друзья,у которых схожи вкусы с ними,а таких мало.По поводу этого я считаю следующее:Это прекрасно,что мы все такие разные,ведь если бы мы были очень похожи,то жизнь была бы скучна! Hello, now I will talk to you on an important subject."Why all of us different?"Really the people living on Earth differ in skin color, growth, a section of eyes and have a weight more of distinctions. Even in one family all her members are unique – they have various fingerprints, a cornea of eyes, growth, a structure of the person...Merit: Each person is individual.Negative quality: People need friends at whom tastes are similar to them, and such it isn't enough.Concerning it I consider the following:It is fine that all of us such different, after all if we were very similar, life would be boring!
