Dinosaurs
The word "dinosaur" comes from the Greek language and means "terrible lizard".
Dinosaurs lived on our planet a very long time ago. The oldest known dinosaur is Eoraptor, a meat-eater that lived 228 million years ago. People believe that dinosaurs lived on the Earth until around 66 million years ago.
Some dinosaurs ate meat and others ate plants. Most dinosaurs hatched from eggs, and they could not fly or live in water. Some dinosaurs walked on two legs, while others walked on all four legs. Some had horns and spikes, others had thick bumpy skin, and some even had feathers.
The biggest dinosaurs were over 30 metres long and about 20 metres tall. The largest dinosaur was the sauropod. The smallest dinosaurs were the size of a chicken.

Динозавры
Слово «динозавр» происходит из греческого языка и означает «ужасная ящерица».
Динозавры жили на нашей планете очень давно. Самый старый известный динозавр - эораптор, плотоядный (мясоед), который жил 228 миллионов лет назад. Люди полагают, что динозавры жили на Земле еще 66 миллионов лет назад. (потом вымерли)
Некоторые динозавры питались мясом, другие ели растения. Большинство динозавров вылуплялись из яиц, не могли летать или жить в воде. Некоторые динозавры ходили на двух ногах, в то время как другие ходили на всех четырех ногах. У некоторых были рога и шипы, у других — толстая бугристая кожа, а у некоторых даже были перья.
Самые большие динозавры были длиной более 30 метров и высотой около 20 метров. Самым крупным динозавром был зауропод. Самые маленькие динозавры были размером с курицу.
I think it’s hard to create an ideal school uniform. First of all, it’s very cold in winter and really very warm in Russia in spring and the beginning of autumn, and school uniform should be perfect for the whole school year. Then comes the question of the materials – it’s of course cheaper to make uniform from modern synthetic materials, than from natural fabrics and wool, but each mother would choose the last variant. At the same time, school uniform should be affordable to each family. If speaking about the design of the ideal school uniform, it should suit every pupil, boy and girl, regardless if he or she attends elementary school or is almost a school graduate.
But I support the idea of school uniform. I like that school uniform is a part of school tradition, and makes you honor your school more. Also I support the idea that pupils should think more about studying, and not about what are they dressed in. Introduction of school uniform can help to ease the gap between the rich and the poor and make pupils treat each other as personalities.
