Another language is another perception of the world. I'm sure in our time it's very important to know foreign languages. Some people learn languages because they need them for more successful work, others travel abroad, and for other ones it's just a hobby that brings them joy. People want to have excellent knowledge of languages in order to write their pen pals, or communicate with people from different countries, meet more new people and make friends. In addition, they want to read books of famous writers in the original, read newspapers and magazines, watch undubbed films and understand foreign songs. When they travel abroad the language helps them learn more about different events, people's lives, customs and traditions of those countries. Learning foreign languages broadens our horizons, people become more educated. In my opinion, languages are especially important for those who work in different fields of science and technology, politics. Foreign languages helps to learn your native language better. Nowadays, undoubtedly English has become an international language. About 300 million people speak it, as in their native language. As for me, I've been studying English since I was 7 years old. This language helps me a lot, I can speak with people from all over the world, make new friends and take part in international competitions in English. I like one saying by Goethe: "Anyone who does not know foreign languages does not know well his native language." I speak Russian, English, and Italian a little bit. And I'm very proud of it, because languages are my second life. I would like to learn German, French and Spanish, but this year I decided to learn Italian. You know, my child's dream is to be an interpreter and I'm sure I will. Personally, I think that knowing foreign languages today is absolutely necessary for every educated person, for every good specialist. Therefore, let's learn foreign languages and discover with their help many new and interesting things in life! Language is the way to the heart of man and the treasures of world culture, isn't it?
My name is Alexandra, I’m thirteen years old. My favourite holiday is my birthday. On this day I get up early, but by that time my mother already cooks food for a festive table in the kitchen. In the morning my family and friends begin to give presents and congratulate me. My parents and younger brother always want me to remember this day for a long time that’s why they decorate the flat with many-coloured little balls. On this day a lot of my friends and relations usually come to see me. When we all get together we sit down to table and begin to celebrate my birthday. Everybody has a good time dances and communicates with each other, the music plays loudly. At the end of the holiday we turn off the lights and my father brings a big cake with candles. I must blow out the candles and make a wish. After that we have tea with a cake and then we dismiss the guests. I would like to celebrate my birthday every month because all our relations and friends can meet together on this day. I grow up every year but my birthday always remains the most unforgettable holiday of the year.
