Life today seems to be much better than 50 years ago. It became much easier to do many basic things. For example, people don't have to wash clothes without a washing machine. There is a microwave, a vacuum cleaner, a dishwasher, an electric cooker almost in every house. Modern technology has fully changed our lives to the better. Fifty years ago people couldn't even imagine that household chores would be done by smart appliances. To think only, they didn't know that computers would instantly send messages, take photos, or allow making video calls. Nobody had cell phones back then. On the one hand, it might have been difficult to live without these gadgets. On the other hand, children were much happier without cell phones and hand-held computers. My grandparents often tell me about their childhood and youth. They say it was a happy time and people were different.People of their generation weren't commercially-minded at all. Our generation lives at the era of consumerism. We don’t value things and clothes that much. When we break or spoil something, we go to the store and easily buy a new one. My grandmother tells that she could wear the same pair of shoes for ten years and more, while I want to buy new shoes almost every season. Women’s rights have also been modified. Fifty years ago they were supposed to be diligent housewives. Today women are seen at many high positions. They can be leading lawyers, politicians, financiers, top managers and superintendants. Another modern step forward is the development of travel opportunities. It has become faster, cheaper and more convenient to travel from one country to another. It is beneficial nearly for everyone: international students, curious adults, international commerce and trade, etc.
Плавание. Плавание-это на первый взгляд один из самых лёгких видов спорта, но нет. В плавание нужно правильно грести руками и ногами. Особенно сложно когда ты участвуешь в соревнованиях. Нужно не только правильно плыть, но и постараться всех опередить и занять первое место. Если не получится в первый или в любой другой раз , расстраивается нечего, в следующий раз обязательно получиться. Плавание- вид спорта или спортивная дисциплина, заключающаяся в преодолении вплавь за наименьшее время различных дистанций. При этом в подводном положении по действующим ныне правилам разрешается проплыть не более 15 м после старта или поворота (в плавании брассом подобное ограничение сформулировано по-другому);скоростные виды подводного плавания относятся не к плаванию, а к подводному виду. Swimming. Swimming is a seemingly one of the easiest sports, but no. In swimming you need to properly paddle hands and feet to help. It is especially difficult when you participate in competitions. Need not only the right to swim, but also to try to get ahead of everyone and take first place. If you fail the first or at any other time, there is nothing to get upset, the next time you need to turn out. Plavanie- sport or sports discipline, is to overcome the swim in the shortest time for different distances. While submerged under current rules now allowed to swim no more than 15 meters after the start or turn (in the breaststroke this restriction is formulated in a different way), high-speed types of diving are not to swim, and to an underwater view.
