Learning a foreign language is a hard work. It is a long, sometimes boring and slow process. Every day you should devote your time and efforts to learning. The most difficult thing is that English is very different from your own. And of course a native language has a powerful influence on a person. Eveyone asks when it is better to start studying. It is easy when you a child. You are open for knowledge and you think more about learning than about other problems. When you are an adult it isn’t so easy. It requires much patience, time, efforts. As for me I start learning at school. But I was fool and didn’t work hard. When I had entered the university I met a wounderful teacher of English. She made me learn this language. Today English and me are the best friends. I’d like to say some words about my studies. I had 3 lessons a week. I had to learn the ABC, transcription, sounds again. Then from lesson to lesson I learnt new words, grammar rules, conversational phrases. Some of them I learnt by heart. I tried to listen much in English. I watched films, different videos, listened to music in English. It helped me much. I read and translated texts every day, did many grammar exercises. I’d like to give you some advice how to be succeed in studying. The most important thing is to be patient. You will see that you have to repeat new words again and again. When you are able to use them automatically, you should take another group and do the same. Some people have an idea if they memorise long list of vocabulary they will learn the language. It is much more. You have to put your attention to grammar. After you can use the grammatical structures, you can enrich your vocabulary. I think learning foreign languages is very useful nowadays. You can communicate with people all over the world, you can know the culture and, of course, you will become a well-rounded and educated person. The more languages you speak, the more times you are a human being. So I can really say that English in my life plays a very important role. I have a good job with high salary. I can travel abroad and communicate with others without any problems. I can use internet easily , read different manuals and understand them. My outlook has become much wider. Of course, my english is not perfect. I have some problems. But I continue studying every day. Practice makes perfect. In conclusion I’d like to admit that at first English may seem easy. But there is a bridge between basic knowledge and mastery. And it takes a long time across. But remember that English has become an international language. To know it is absolutely necessary for every educated man, for every good specialist.

В Соединенных Штатах существует официальный день для отцов - День отцов. Он приходится на третье воскресенье июня. Дети, молодые и старые, дают их отцы почувствовать себя особенными в этот день: они делают им подарки или готовят специальные десерты. Когда дети не могут посетить своих отцов, они посылают им открытки. Большинство этих открыток забавные, так что отцы смеются, когда читают их. Третье воскресенье июня стало общенациональным для Америки событием с 1924 года. История говорит, в Спокане, штат Вашингтон, жила миссис Брюс Джон Додд, которая начала отмечать этот праздник. Миссис Додд считала, что у нее очень хороший отец. Когда его жена умерла молодой, он поднял шестерых детей без матери. Миссис Додд заказала богослужение в день рождения своего отца в июне и посвятила его всем отцам.
