Excursion to the Museum of Art, organized in the autumn vacation with our class teacher, personally was very useful for me. I learned a lot of new, interesting, and received great pleasure from communication with the beautiful. Before, I just never thought about the fact that the works created by artists, musicians, architects, too, as well as historical events can be a wonderful chronicle of the past and present of mankind, his thoughts, hopes, struggle for their future. How little I still know! After all, in order to read this record based on the works of various art forms, it is necessary to know at least in general terms, the history of art, to understand his expressive means. I really want to get acquainted with the architectural styles and learn more about what a painting, drawing and sculpture. ПЕРЕВОД Экскурсия в художественный музей, организованная на осенних каникулах нашим классным руководителем, лично для меня оказалась очень полезной. Я узнал много нового, интересного и получил огромное удовольствие от общения с прекрасным. Раньше я просто не задумывался над тем, что произведения, созданные художниками, музыкантами, архитекторами тоже, как и исторические события, могут быть замечательной летописью и настоящего человечества, его дум, надежд, борьбы за свое будущее. Как же мало я еще знаю! Ведь, для того чтобы читать эту летопись по произведениям различных видов искусства, нужно знать хотя бы в общих чертах историю искусства, разбираться в его выразительных средствах. Мне очень хочется познакомиться с архитектурными стилями и больше узнать о том, что такое живопись, графика и скульптура.
Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of keeping animals in zoos
On Sunday afternoons in every major city many families go to the zoo with kids. They always have a lot of fun, see many rare animals, funny monkeys, tall giraffes, huge elephants and cute koalas. But what is going on with animals? On the one hand, animals are safe in zoos, which means they cannot be hurt in their cages. Secondly, animals have enough food, for example, they can always eat in a zoo, while they may be starving in nature. Furthermore, many poachers kill animals for their skin, fur and meat, but they cannot do it to animals in zoos. What is more, there are many species that are almost exterminated, but zoos help them reproduce and keep their species existing. The last but not least, if the natural habitat of some species is destroyed, ruined or is no longer for living in, zoos make cages that look exactly like the natural habitat. On the other hand, animals are kept away from their natural place of living. For instance, lions can never live in Berlin. Another major disadvantage of keeping animals imprisoned is too much noise and stress for them. Many people come to see them. For example, kids come near the cages and tease them, so they have a very stressful life unlike their natural way of living. Not to mention the fact that animals are not free. They are trapped in their cells like in prisons. In conclusion, there are many advantages and disadvantages of keeping animals in zoos and everyone is to judge by himself. However, before that think about yourself being kept in a cage and being seen just as an amusement!
