The majority of schoolchildren today get pocket money. It’s due to the fact that modern parents have less time to consider their children’s needs. They eagerly give them pocket money to solve this contradiction. The question is whether this method is useful and how considerable are children when spending this money. Some people think that teenagers have become more serious and sensible in this respect, while others think that they cannot deal with money and spend it wisely. Most people think that children buy only useless things. However, it depends on each individual child. There are some youngsters, who buy flowers for their mothers and sisters. Others buy stationery for school or food when they are starving. Notable disadvantage of pocket money is that some children can spend it on cigarettes or other health-threatening habits. That’s when parents should be alarmed. To avoid such situations, they should know exactly what their children are spending money on. Summarizing the above-mentioned viewpoints, I’d like to say that parents should give their children only limited amount of pocket money for their daily necessities, such as buying snacks and food, pens and pencils, little toys or presents for friends
Palace Bridge across the Neva river can really be called the most romantic of all St. Petersburg's bridges. It is one of the more than ten drawbridges of the city. The bridge is 102 years old. On December 23, 1916 the first carriage passed through the bridge. In 1997, the bridge was decorated with night illumination, which fascinates residents and visitors with its beauty in the dark. Today, the cast-iron drawbridge is a connection of Vasilievsky Island with the Central city sights such as the Admiralty and the Winter Palace. The architect of the Palace Bridge was A.P. Pshenitsky.
The giant structure consists of 5 spans and is stunning in its size: the total length is 260.1 metres, width — 27.7 metres. The unique adjustable mechanism lifts 700-ton spans up over the Neva. The last reconstruction of the bridge took place in 2013. Today, thousands of people pass over the bridge. Tourists come here to take pictures against the background of the famous Peter and Paul Fortress or the Hermitage. During festive events, film festivals, the drawbridge wings serve as a huge screen for film shows. The Palace Bridge is drawn twice a day. Night view of the bridge on the background of the bell tower of the Peter and Paul fortress is the hallmark of St. Petersburg. The bridge opening time is from 01:25 to 02:50 and from 03:10 to 04:55.
Дворцовый мост через Неву по праву может называться самым романтическим из всех Санкт-Петербургских мостов. Он является одним из 14 разводных мостов города. Мосту 102 года. 23 декабря 1916 года через мост проехал первый экипаж. В 1997 году мост декорировали ночной иллюминацией, которая завораживает своей красотой жителей и гостей города в тёмное время суток. Сегодня разводная чугунная переправа служит соединением Васильевского острова с центральными городскими достопримечательностями — Адмиралтейством и Зимним дворцом. Архитектором Дворцового моста стал А. П. Пшеницкий.
Гигантская конструкция состоит из 5 пролетов и потрясает своими размерами: общая длина составляет 260,1 метра, ширина — 27,7 метра. Уникальный разводной механизм поднимает 700-тонные пролеты вверх над Невой. Последняя реконструкция в 2013 году. Сегодня по мосту проходят тысячи людей. Туристы приезжают сюда для того, чтобы сфотографироваться на фоне знаменитой Петропавловской крепости или Эрмитажа. Во время праздничных мероприятий, кинофестивалей разводные крылья моста служат экраном для проектирования кинофильмов. Дворцовый мост разводится дважды в сутки. Ночная панорама разведённого моста на фоне колокольни Петропавловской крепости является визитной карточкой Санкт-Петербурга. Время развода Дворцового моста с 01 : 25 до 02 : 50 и с 03 : 10 до 04 : 55.
