Russian Holidays Every country has its own customs, traditions and holidays and Russia is no exception. It is almost impossible to list all the holidays of the country but I’d like to tell you about the most important and traditional ones. At the beginning of each year Russian people celebrate New Year and Christmas. Both children and adults love these public holidays. People don’t work or study for several days. They relax at home, visit relatives and exchange presents. New Year starts at midnight on the 31st of December and Russian Christmas is on the 7th of January. It is a religious holiday and many people go to church services on that day. Next holidays are “Men’s Day” on the 23rd of February and “Women’s Day” on the 8th of March. These holidays are rather important. On “Men’s Day” women prepare small gifts for their loved men. On “Women’s Day” men do everything around the house and cook all the meals. In such way all women of the country can take a rest from household duties. They also get some presents on this day. Easter is one of the widely celebrated holidays in Russia. Its date changes from year to year but usually falls on April. Children exchange coloured eggs and women bake traditional cakes called “paska”. The 1st of May is the Day of Labour in Russia. It is an official public holiday when people don’t work but go on demonstration instead. One of the greatest national holidays is Victory Day on May the 9th, which commemorates the victory of Russia at the Second World War. On this day the veterans take part in military parades. One of the newest holidays in Russia is the Independence Day, which is celebrated on the 12th of June. It was the day when the first Russian President was elected in 1992. All pupils and students of the country start their school-year on the 1st of September. This holiday is considered to be the Day of Knowledge. Students usually present their teachers with flowers. Next national holiday is celebrated on the 12th of December. It’s the Constitution Day. Today, Russians also celebrate many foreign holidays, such as St. Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Halloween, Chinese New Year and so on.
Друзья Какая, вы думаете, самая большая проблема, которая стоит перед современными подростками? Большинство Британских родителей считают, что это наркотики, но они не правы.Интересные результаты были получены из исследования ( опроса ), проведенного Get Connected ( телефонная служба поддержки для детей и подростков ). Они поговорили с 510-ю молодыми людьми, в возрасте от 15 до 19 лет, а так же с их родителями. Они (Сотрудники службы) выяснили, что родители настолько обеспокоены тем, что их дети накачаются ( употребят ) наркотиками, что им не удается увидеть, что проблемами тревожности для многих молодых людей являются отношения, особенно с друзьями. Ничто ,кажется, не может быть хуже, чем выпадение из коллектива своих лучших друзей.
Сотрудник (Оператор) из Get Connected сказал, что молодые люди полагаются на своих друзей в разговорах о своих проблемах. Если они теряют связи с друзьями, то они становятся одиноки, что может серьезно повлиять на их психологическое здоровье. Как говорится : "Друзья-те, кто держит вашу голову в порядке ( здравом уме )" Сегодня люди меньше полагаются на большие семьи, а всё больше и больше они полагаются на друзей. Другой опрос в США показал, что сегодня молодые люди имеют гораздо больший круг друзей, чем 20-30 лет назад. Кажется более привлекательным и комфортным иметь большую группу людей, которым ты доверяешь, чем общаться только с одним человеком , и , в случае чего-то непредвиденного, потерять и это общение. Кстати говоря, студенты из Бристольского Университета в Англии недавно заявили, что "Парочки"- явление времен.
