Kanye Omari West was born on June 8, 1977 in Atlanta, Georgia. His parents divorced when he was three years old. After the divorce, he and his mother moved to Chicago, Illinois. His father, Ray West, is a formerBlack Panther and was one of the first black photojournalists at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Ray West was later a Christian counselor, and in 2006, opened the Good Water Store and Café in Lexington Park, Maryland with startup capital from his son. West's mother, Dr. Donda C. (Williams) West, was a professor of English at Clark Atlanta University, and the Chair of the English Department at Chicago State University before retiring to serve as his manager. West was raised in a middle-class background, attending Polaris High School in suburban Oak Lawn, Illinois after living in Chicago.
At the age of 10, West moved with his mother to Nanjing, China, where she was teaching atNanjing University as part of an exchange program. According to his mother, West was the only foreigner in his class, but settled in well and quickly picked up the language, although he has since forgotten most of it. When asked about his grades in high school, West replied, "I got A's and B's. And I'm not even frontin'."
West demonstrated an affinity for the arts at an early age; he began writing poetry when he was five years old. His mother recalled that she first took notice of West's passion for drawing and music when he was in the third grade. Growing up in Chicago, West became deeply involved in its hip hop scene. He started rapping in the third grade and began making musical compositions in the seventh grade, eventually selling them to other artists. At age thirteen, West wrote a rap song called "Green Eggs and Ham" and began to persuade his mother to pay $25 an hour for time in a recording studio.
Они насладились их пикником и решили вернуться домой. Неожиданно, они увидели двух черных животных, бегущих к ним. Мальчики не имели понятия что делать. Джошуа начал кричат на животных. Животные вовсе не были напуганы ими и мальчики забрались на большое дерево.
На следующий день, ребята попали на главную страницу местной газеты. Мальчики получили медаль за поимку пантер. Каждый называл их героями. Мальчики спросили:"Герои? Как же мы можем быть героями? Мы провели все время на дереве!"
Однажды, в солнечный день, Джошуа и Стивен пошли в парк чтобы поиграть в футбол. Ребята хотели устроить пикник и они взяли хорошие сэндвичи и сок с собой.
Джошуа и Стивен сели на дерево. Они были в ужасе! Через некоторое время, двое мужчин зашли в парк, держа в руках пистолеты(стволы). Они были смотрителями в зоо-парке, которые наконец-то поймали пантер. Они вернули животных обратно в зоо-парк. Смотрители зоо-парка объяснили:" В следующий раз, мы должны быть более внимательными, когда чистим клетку. Пантеры сбежали."
I want to tell you about my school, my class and my favorite subjects. First of all, I'm going to tell you about my class. My class is very fun.** Sometimes we go camping together; there we play and have fun. Soon we will go to Chertanovo, I think it's going to be an interesting trip. And now I'm going to tell you about my favorite subjects. I like litrature and biology the most. I never get bored on litrature or biology lessons. And I don't like geometry and algebra because I'm not good at mathematics.*** I just really don't like math lessons. But most of all I hate georaphy, because it's always boring in the georaphy class and we often have tests. But in general, we have a good school. We also hold concerts and sometimes play games, like for example, running and answering the questions. I really do like my school. And what's your favorite subjects? Do you like your school? Tell me more about it, I will wait for your reply :)
See you! --- * Я начала письмо с Dear xyz потому, что если ты пишешь письмо в офф. стиле, то письмо следует начинать таким образом. Но если ты пишешь своему другу, скажем, электронное письмо, то проще будет начать письмо с простого Hi, Mandy! ну или Hey, Mandy!
** They are (very) fun - это неформальное выражение, но на экзамене такое вроде прощают.
*** Заметь, я немного изменила текст, и получается вот такой перевод: "И мне не нравится геометрия и алгебра, потому что я не очень разбираюсь в математике". Как тебе?
У меня есть привычка заканчивать письма с фразами типа "See you!" или "Until the next time", хотя всегда можно воспользоваться простым "Bye!".
