-Oh, Liza, I haven`t seen you for so long time. Where have you been?
-You are right, I haven`t been here for summer. Last summer I visited New York.
-Really? Why didn`t you tell me about your trip at our last meeting?
-Oh, I am sorry, last April I didn`t know about the trip.
- Ok. Don`t worry. Did you enjoy your trip?
-Yes, of course. In my opinion New York is a wonderful city and also it is so extraordinay for us.
- Why do you think so?
- Because there are a lot of people and skyscrapes, but also New York has many parks and quiet streets.
- Yes, it is rather unusual. Oh, tell me please what do you like most of all?
- I liked Times Square and the Central Park very much.
- I am so happy for you. I want to ask you about English. Did you learn it?
- Well, yes, I did. I went to summer courses and learn grammar there, but also I spoke with New York people, so I had a great practice.
- That`s good, I am in a hurry, so I have to go. I was so glad to meet you. Bye.
- Good luck, bye.
Society in the country I arbitrarily divide into the following sections:
The first layer - the elite: the representatives of big business, officials in key positions from the president to the director of baths and prismykayuschie them. There are about, I think 10%. Revenues cream of society are tens and hundreds of millions of rubles.
The second layer - predstavilei small business, oil companies, government officials, in general, those who are well settled in life, it is now possible to add on the military and the police. They say - 20%.
Thus, 30% of our population satisfied with their lives and do not want change, they vote for the ruling party and will likely vote for Vladimir Putin.
Now the third layer - it is all we are: government employees, farmers, unemployed, students and pensioners. We have a lot of 70% and we want to live better, but we can not in any way affect the authority, for the following reasons:
Half of the 70% are indifferent to politics "nothing will change", "eat there all right, but there is no war," etc.
More than half of the remaining half want change, but are afraid to speak out against the government, teachers are afraid that they will cut, seniors are afraid for their children and grandchildren.
And here is about 5-10% of people. It's rebels, who are actively fighting for their rights and the rights of their fellow citizens. Recent events show that they are becoming larger.
Whiston Churchill said, "School teachers have the power, of which the Prime Minister can only dream of."
By what authority can have now a beggar, frightened, lost credibility teacher? What would you do if you ordered from the top go to the rally in support of the ruling party in exchange for a weekend and awards?
