Lots of companies do business online. They sell goods and services, or provide INFORMATION to the general public. Doing business online is less EXPENSIVE and more convenient than running a traditional business, with offices and lots of employees. Surprisingly enough, there are lots of very young people among online businessmen. In spite of their age, they are quite SUCCESSFUL and professional. For example, Ben Collins started his own online company when he was REALLY young. He was only 17. He says, “My business is INTERNATIONAL - we work with people from different countries. In a real office, some people would NOT AGREE that someone of my age could be a boss, but when I work online, nobody cares how old I am.”
Susan’s father often had to go to different countries on business. That evening, he came home LATER than usual. He looked tired. Susan KNEW that the next week her father was going to China to discuss a new project. At dinner, her father asked Susan if she WANTED to go with him. It was a bit unexpected but Susan liked the idea at once. It was her SIXTEENTH birthday in a few days. And Susan thought it WILL BE fun to celebrate it abroad. However, there was one thing she wanted to clear up before the trip: “Are you going to be busy from morning till night? I DONT WANT to sit in the hotel all the time alone.” “You won’t have to,” her father reassured Susan. “I HAVE PREPARED all the project papers already. So, while our partners are studying them, we’ll have plenty of time for sightseeing.” “Great!” Susan ran up to her room to pack. “Remember to take some comfortable shoes. Otherwise your FEET will hurt after the long excursions.” Her father’s advice was always practical. In half an hour everything WAS PACKED in a suitcase and Susan called her best friend to tell her the news.
Summer is my favourite part of the year. In Summer I don't need to get up early and go to school. Usually in August we go to the Black Sea coast, in Sochi. It's one of the most beautiful Russian cities by the Black Sea. The water was warm and clear. The weather was particularly hot this year. Every day we went to the beach, swam and sunbathed, and in the evenings watched beautiful sunsets. We also visited the Olympic Park, which i really liked, Arboretum, waterpark and Riviera Park. I like to spend holidays in Sochi.
