Holidays are always a joyous occasion. I love the variety of holidays such as birthdays of my friends and relatives and of course my birthday. I also like May holidays when we usually go out with friends or family, where we make barbecues, play games and just relax in the first warm days. Halloween is also one of my favorite holidays, when my friends and I throw a party for which we dress up in carnival costumes. But anyway, my most favorite holiday is New Year's Eve. I love this holiday for the extraordinary magic atmosphere that it brings to the city and in each house in it. This is the time when every town is transformed and it looks like a Christmas card. When each house is filled with the scent of pine, mandarins and delicious pastries. For everyone this period is time, when one can take at least a little gift and everyone will be happier in this holiday. New Year is a time of hope and dreams. We are all waiting when the clock strikes twelve times and we hope that our dreams will come true! In anticipation of the holiday people look more hopeful for the future waiting only the best next year. In addition to this, the favorite part of this holiday is meeting of whole family at a large table. Around our table there are always our close friends, parents and their children. I love feeling this holiday, it fills my family with warmth
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is situated on the British Isles. The British Isles consist of two large islands, Great Britain and Ireland, and above five thousand small islands. Their total area is over 315 000 square kilometers. The United Kingdom is made up of four countries: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Their capitals are London, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast respectively.
The British isles are separated from the European continent by the North Sea and the English Channel. The western coast of Great Britain is washed by the Atlantic Ocean and the Irish Sea. The surface of the British Isles varies very much.
It is almost impossible to imagine the modern world without medicine. The word medicine is derived from Latin and means ‘the art of healing’. Being an ancient science, medicine has always helped to cure people from dangerous diseases. The main aim of medicine is not only to treat the illness, but also to diagnose and try to prevent it. Contemporary medicine is so advanced that doctors can foresee the health problems of a baby yet in the womb. It became possible thanks to modern technology. The development of medicine started at ancient times, when animal parts, minerals and plants were used to cure people. It was the time of ‘herbal medicine’. Some people still follow this type of treatment and find it effective. Middle Ages have introduced small hospitals attached to cathedrals or monasteries. Modern medicine has brought various vaccines and antibiotics. There are also many branches and highly-qualified health professionals in modern medicine. If someone is allergic to some products or plants, he or she can see an allergist. If someone suffers from poor eyesight, he or she can address the ophthalmologist. If the problem is connected with teeth, people go to the dentist. Nowadays, our country offers two kinds of medical service. There are state institutions which treat the local residents free of charge, and private clinics, where all services are paid and quite expensive. Speaking of my family, we usually try to go to a state clinic if someone gets ill but it’s not always easy. You need to schedule an appointment in advance and be a resident of a region where you want to be treated.
Практически невозможно представить себе современный мир без медицины. Слово медицина имеет латинское происхождение и означает "искусство исцеления". Будучи древней наукой, медицина всегда лечить людей от опасных заболеваний. Основная задача медицины не только излечить болезнь, но также выявить и предотвратить её. Современная медицина настолько усовершенствована, что врачи могут предвидеть проблемы здоровья у ребенка ещё в утробе матери. Это стало возможным благодаря современным технологиям. Развитие медицины началось в древние времена, когда для лечения людей использовались части животных, минералы и растения. Это было время «фитотерапии». Некоторые люди все еще следуют этому типу лечения, и находят его эффективным. В Средневековье появились небольшие больницы, закрепленные за соборами или монастырями. Современная медицина привнесла различные вакцины и антибиотики. В современной медицине есть также много направление и высококлассных специалистов в области здравоохранения. Если кто-то страдает аллергией на некоторые продукты или растения, он или она может посетить аллерголога. Если кто-то страдает от плохого зрения, он или она может обратиться к офтальмологу. Если проблема связана с зубами, люди идут к стоматологу. В настоящее время наша страна предлагает два вида медицинского обслуживания. Есть государственные учреждения, которые лечат местных жителей бесплатно, и частные клиники, где все услуги платные и довольно дорогие. Что касается моей семьи, мы обычно стараемся пойти в государственную клинику, если кто-то заболел, но это не всегда легко. Вам нужно записаться на прием заранее и быть жителем региона, где вы хотели бы лечиться.
