Toy tools - is the first step into the world of real music. Now you can buy a variety of musical toys: from simple drums and harmonicas until almost the present piano and synthesizers. Do you think this is only the toys? Not at all: in the preparatory classes of musical schools of these toys are made whole orchestra of noise, in which the kids enthusiastically blow in pipes, banging drums and tambourines, maracas pushing the rhythm and play the first song on the xylophone ... and this is their first real step into the world music. In the world of music has its own order and classification. Instruments are divided into groups: strings, keyboards, drums, horns, and another reed. Which of them appeared before what later, it is difficult to say for sure. But the ancient people, archers, and noticed that a stretched string sounds, reed tube, if to blow them, emit whistling sounds and rhythm beat comfortable on all surfaces all means at hand. These items were the forefathers of stringed, wind and percussion instruments, already known in ancient Greece. As long ago appeared reed, but the keyboards were invented a little later.

Why Do People Travel?Почему люди путешествуют?I can’t remember any person in my life who ever said “I don’t like travelling”. To my mind travelling is one of the best activities a person can do. And there are many reasons to travel. First of all, travelling is seeing the world and getting new experiences. When you travel you usually go sightseeing, visit local attractions and go to museums and galleries, where you can see the masterpieces of world art, for example. As for me I like watching landscapes of countryside, waterfalls, valleys, I enjoy the view of the oceans, sees and beaches. Second reason to travel is to meet people and experience new cultures. When I travel I always try to find some friends from other countries. Then we keep in touch in social networks, talking about our countries, our interests, which also helps me to practice my English – another advantage of travelling. I normally try to speak English in shops and cafes as my parents don’t speak English very well. Moreover, my family and I love tasting local dishes! People in various parts of world have such different cuisines. When we come home after our trip we find recipes and try to cook the dishes we liked the most. Travelling is also a chance to understand yourself in a better way. You can see the places and think where you want to live and work in future. So I am sure, that travelling is very useful and I wish I could travel even more.
