Петр Ильич Чайковский (1840 1893) знаменитый русский композитор оставил гражданскую службу в 23 года и посвятил свою оставшуюся жизнь музыке против воли отца. После окончания учебы в Петербургской консерватории он отправился в Москву в 1866 году и занял учительский пост. Его финансовое положение улучшилось, когда он познакомился с богатой патронессой Надеждой Филаретовной фон Мек, которая 14 лет оказывала ему поддержку. Она писала ему, но никогда не встречалась с ним. В 1878 году он уже написал музыку к балету «Лебединое озеро» и знаменитую оперу «Евгений Онегин». Так же не менее знамениты: «Пиковая дама», «Щелкунчик», «Спящая красавица». Сейчас Чайковский знаменит во всем мире.

Both classical and modern music are popular in our country. My friend Mike and I are fond of classical music. Sometimes we spend our free time, listening to music by Wolfgang Mozart and other composers. His "Fourth Symphony" and the "Sixth Symphony" by Shostakovich impressed us very much.

Сочинение пополнение в коллекции 09.12.2008

I have a round face, straight nose, big brown eyes and small lips. My hair is short because last week I was in the hairdressing saloon where Ive got a new hair-do. Generally I like it. My nature color of hair is light brown. But a few days ago I dyed my hair and now it is dark-brown with a cherry shade. My grandfather does not like either my hair-do or the color of my hair but I dont care. My hair is straight and thick, but when I was a little girl I had curly hair. I like to be different and occasionally to change something in my appearance.
1205. My attitude to sport
Статья пополнение в коллекции 12.01.2009

Many children start to go in for sport at the age of 7, 8, 9. They like it very much. Later some of them become popular. So we can say that sport helps to achieve success in life. For example, Oxana Bayul from Dniepropetrovsk started to skate when she was three. When the girl was seven she won her first competition in figure skating. Now Oxana is only 17 but she is an Olympic championship and a very rich person. She worked hard and sport helps her to achieve success in life despite all difficulties in her young life.
1206. My attitude towards studying a foreign language
Статья пополнение в коллекции 12.01.2009

As for as I am concerned, I am fond of English. I began studying it five years ago and I have enjoyed every moment of my English lessons since that time. I like everything about English: its intonation, its sound, its rhythm, its idiomatic expressions and so on and so forth. The trouble is the number of classes at school is very few, that is why I do my best to make up for it: I read English books; have additional classes with a teacher of English, listen to radio programmes in English. But the most important things is, to my mind, speaking to native speakers. I cannot say that I have had many chances, but I have made the best of these I have had. Thanks to my communication with native speakers I came to know something about conversational English, an easy task as it might seem. It is necessary to know English grammar well, to have a good stock of vocabulary and have a knack of speaking English and thinking in it. Of course, I haven't mastered all this yet but I am absolutely sure that in a few years my command of the language will be perfect, because it depends on nobody but myself and I am determined to achieve the aims I am pursuing.

1209. My career in the future
Статья пополнение в коллекции 12.01.2009

A few years ago it was difficult for me to give a definite answer. As the years passed I changed my mind a lot of times about which science or field of industry to specialize in. it was difficult to make up my mind and choose one of the hundreds jobs to which I might be better suited. A couple of years ago I wanted to become a doctor. I thought it was a very noble profession. I was good at biology and chemistry in the 8th and 9th forms. I wanted to help people who had problems with health. I knew that a doctor should be noble in work and life, kind and attentive to people, responsible and reasonable, honest and prudent. A doctor, who is selfish, dishonest cant be good at his profession. I tried to do my best to develop good traits in myself.
1210. My Childhood Memories
Статья пополнение в коллекции 12.01.2009

When we were seated, a techer kindly asked us to take the exercise books out from our rucksacks. This was my mom who had prepared all the things for me, but my attempts to found my exercise book in my bag were, unfortunately, unsuccessful. I dont know what happened to me that time that I hadnt noticed that bright red folder and several blank writing-books in it, instead I always have my first teacher in mind who put my first “2” for my inattention on the first day at school on the 1st of September.
1211. My daily programme
Статья пополнение в коллекции 12.01.2009

A typical day goes something like this. We get up around 6 a.m., wash, have some coffee and toast, let the dog outside and feed him, bring the dog back in and leave for work. I drop Martha off at her job around 7:15 a.m. and then I drive to the University (from our house to her work is about three miles, from her work to the University is another three). I park the car and get to my office by 7:45 a.m. Then I check my schedule and start to work. Around 11:30 a.m. we break for lunch. I usually eat at the student union with co-worker or other students. Then back to work. I usually leave for the day at 4:30 p.m. I pick Martha up at her job and we are back home by 5:30 p.m. After changing into more comfortable clothes, we turn on the television to watch the news while we prepare dinner. After dinner, we may study. go shopping, or just relax and watch television or listen to music.
1212. My district and my flat
Статья пополнение в коллекции 12.01.2009

As you know, Vladivostok, the capital of the Primorsky region, occupies the peninsula of Muravev-Amursky which is washed by Amur and Ussuri gulfs. One part of this peninsula, called Egersheld (it was named after one of the explores of Russian Far-East), is my native district. Egersheld is known from the foundation of Vladivostok. More then one hundred years ago the first houses for the seamen appeared in it. Since that time Egersheld is known as the working center of the city. Now, for example, the territory of the commercial port is situated in this district. Egersheld is the most environmental friendly district in the city as it is open to strong sea winds which blow out all harmful substances in the air and clouds of dust. Of course, this has a negative side the average temperature in the district in winter is lower than in the other parts of Vladivostok. As my native district occupies very special geographical position (in fact, Egersheld is a small peninsula of Muravev-Amursky peninsula) so its citizens may admire beautiful sea scenes every evening when the sun is hiding for the horizon. These seascapes are really breathtaking and very often you may see dozens of artists trying to carry this wonderful sight to paper or canvas.

We are a very good family. We love each other very much. In the evenings, when all the members of our family get together after work and study, we like to watch TV, to read books and newspapers, to talk about different things and to discuss all our problems together. When the weather is good we sometimes go for a walk. We have a small house in the country with a garden and a kitchen-garden. There is much work there and on week-ends we go there and work and have rest all together.

The story follows Rodya as he tries to avoid detection at a police summons (he faints) and, while another man, Nikolay, the painter, is accused. Various other characters come into the equation, such as Rodyas student friend Razumihin, who fears his mental collapse and Zametov, the police clerk who is mistrustful of the fainting incident.

The newspapers I read are the most readable and have a large readership or circulation. For example "Arguments and Facts" has a circulation of more than 5 million. Reading the newspaper I can get information about current events that have taken or are going to take place in this country and abroad. I can also read articles about historical events and public figures of the past. The pages of the newspaper carry articles on our economy, industry, agriculture and social life.
1218. My Favorite Part of Town
Статья пополнение в коллекции 12.01.2009

One of my favorite parts in the area around Narva is a small resort town of Narva-Jхesuu, which is located about 12 km. from Narva near the sea. It is also called the pearl of the Finnish Gulf and of the entire Baltic Sea coast. One of the main reasons I like Narva-Jхesuu is that only there I can find tranquility from that busy life running in the center of Narva. Fresh air coming from the nearly pine forest charges you with the energy, beauty of the surrounding nature brings a real relaxation, leading your soul to calmness and taking off all the stresses.
1219. My favorite season
Статья пополнение в коллекции 12.01.2009

There are four seasons in the year. Each of them brings different weather and different dresses. When it is hot people wear T-shirts and shorts, light blouses and skirts, sport shoes, socks and sandals. In summer people dress like this in Africa, Russia, Canada, Ireland, Great Britain and America. In cold weather people usually put on warm clothes: jeans and trousers, sweaters and jackets, overcoats and caps. In winter they wear fur coats and fur caps, high boots and mittens or gloves. The proverb says: there is no bad weather, there are bad clothes. Another proverb says: everything is good in its season. When you think what to wear, choose the right dress. Think what is good at the sports ground and what is good at the party and why a long dress looks beautiful on a woman but is funny on a little girl. When you buy clothes, try them on, make sure that they are your size, that they suit you well and that you like their colour.
1220. My favorite video film
Статья пополнение в коллекции 12.01.2009

The director of the film is Jeremy Cameron. The main parts in the film are played by young actors Leonardo De Caprio and Kate Winslet. To my mind their acting is superb. The camerawork is fantastic, too. I've heard that for this film they made a full-size model of the "Titanic". It's a very spectacular film. It is also a moving love-story.
