Are you going to stay in your city/town after leaving school and why?

I would like to tell you about my native city - Nizhny Novgorod. It’s the place where I have been living since my birth.

NN is famous for many reasons. Firstly, there is a well-known proverb: “Petersburg is the head of Russia, Moscow is the heart and NN is the pocket” because of the Fair which is known all over the world. The merchants from different countries take part in annual fair. Secondly, it is a beautiful place situated at the confluence of two great Russian rivers – the Volga and the Oka. Thirdly, it is an important industrial, commercial, cultural, historical and educational centre. It is a great place to travel to as there is a lot to see and do there. There are 5 theatres which are popular with tourists and citizens. They are the Drama, the Opera House, the Comedy, the Puppet, the Theatre of Young Spectators. There are a lot of clubs, cinemas, parks, libraries to spend our free time and a wonderful Museum of Fine Arts where a lot of masterpieces of art can be enjoyed and appreciated.

There are many beautiful places in NN which deserve to be visited, but the most favourite one for me is the High-Volga Embankment from which you can get a spectacular view over the Volga, the river port and lots of sights as well.

After leaving school I’m going to stay in the city because NN offers a wide range of higher educational establishments to choose from. I can study at the State University, at the Polytechnic Academy, at the Medicine Academy and others. So, there is no use leaving for other cities like Moscow.

Learning a foreign language is not an easy matter. It is a long and slow process that takes much time and effort.

communication. If you know a foreign language you can travel without being afraid not to understand people around you and not to be understood as well. Another reason is business. Big companies usually prefer hiring employees who know at least one language at advanced level. So, a person with a foreign language will be competitive enough to find a good well-paid job. Moreover, if you know a foreign language, you can watch films and read books in the original. Last but not the least I'm sure a foreign language adds much to better understanding among peoples and promotes friendship in the world.

As for me I've been learning English for 9 years already and this year I'm taking exams. I've chosen to do the English exam to test my knowledge and check my skills because I need it for my future career. Also, the exam is a great opportunity for me to go through the process itself and get experience, get ready for State Exams at the end of the 11th form.

I started preparing for my exam beforehand. Firstly, my teacher told me everything about the structure of the exam and its demands, gave me useful tips. Then, I did my best to do a lot of different exercises in listening, reading, use of English and writing an informal letter. I went to www.fipi.ru and practiced tests given there. So, I 'm sure I'm well-prepared for the exam and I hope I'll be a success.

A lot of people have pets at home. They keep them for different reasons. Some of them need friends, guards, doctors, just for fun (playing and walking with them) or for breeding. Next, people enjoy taking care of somebody and spending their free time. It cures them from being alone as animals are good companions. At last pets are very cute and entertaining.

Choosing a pet depends on man’s tastes, character and aims. The most popular pets are cats, dogs, tortoises, guinea-pigs, hamsters, birdies, fish, etc. Many of them have been bred for thousands of years to coexist with humans. If people live without children or alone, they usually have a cat or a dog to take care. Also, children like to play with their pets when they are alone. Nowadays many exotic wild animals are chosen as pets in big cities. They maybe mammals, reptiles, carnivoures or herbivoures: monkeys, tigers, crocodiles, lions, snakes and others. People somtimes bring tiger or bear cubs at home. But when they grow up they have different problems with them. I think the people want to look extraordinary and ambitious. No doubt having wild animals at home is very dangerous. Unfortunately there are many examples when pets injure or even kill their owners.

To my mind having pets is a big responsibility for their owners. They should take proper care of their pets: feed them in time, train, and walk out and of course love. Moreover animal owners should be especially careful and not abandon animals on their own. You can see many stray dogs and cats in the cities that is the fact that many of them had bad owners.

I have no pets now. But if I had, I would keep a cat\ dog as I am very fond of them. I should say I would be a good owner.

First, it has become a very important data-gathering. You can get any information you need. Second, it’s a sort of entertaining. People enjoy playing computer games. Third, the Internet is a communicating source. It becomes a post office, a printing press and a meeting place all in one. You may chat with your friends or send them electronic messages. That’s very important for teenagers because communication is a basic human need. And at last surfing the Internet is very exciting.

Today the Internet has undergone a phenomenal global growth. You can get all sort of information without visiting libraries, museums, offices, banks; pay taxes, book tickets, do shopping and many other things. We don’t send letters and post cards in the post office. Now it’s a sort of a snail- mail. Then you can get in touch with a person in the far distant land any time and in no time. Moreover you can not only hear but see him. It’s fantastic!

Spending hours surfing the web, playing computer games or chatting online can make a person computer addicted, especially a child. He/she can be indifferent to realistic relationship and other parts of his life. They live in cyberspace in a virtual world of their own making. Some children suffer from computer rage (страсть) or uncontrolled periods of anger when the children are forbidden to play computer games. If not treated, it can lead to reduced social skills and degradation of a person. Guidelines for children suggest allowing no more than one hour per night on the PC.

As for me I try to follow the tips and not use the computer too much. But sometimes I can’t help playing or working long.
