On Red Square, St. Basil's Cathedral, a monument to Minin and Pozharsky. Originally, it was in the middle of the square. Monument raised in 1818 and executed by the sculptor Ivan Martos. Funds for its construction were collected by subscription among the population. The discovery resulted in the monument of national celebration as a feat of heroes - Minin and Pozharsky liberated Moscow from capture it in the early XVII century Poles - like similar events in 1812. Martos created his work in common then classical forms. Group composition beautifully constructed. Subtle rhythm connects the two figures. However, the monument, the first in Moscow, in its own decorative. He expressive silhouette, clearly visible in the distance - a gesture calling Minin immediately conveys the idea of sculpture. Equally well two bas-reliefs on the pedestal, and they are devoted to the topics of "the expulsion of the Poles" and "Nizhny Novgorod citizens." In the second bas-relief Martos depicted himself with his sons.
People all over the world are fond of sports and games. Sport makes people healthy, keeps them fit, more organized and better disciplined. Some people go in for sports for their health and some for professional aims. There are many stadiums, sports grounds, swimming pools, football fields in each town. Practically all kinds of sports are popular in this country, but football, figure-skating and tennis enjoy the greatest popularity. A lot of people are fond of jogging. In the morning and in the evening we can see people jogging in the parks, stadiums and even in the streets. In every school pupils spend much time going in for sports. First of all they have their physical training lessons. And after classes they may train different kinds of sport at different sports clubs and sections. Professional sport is also paid much attention to in this country. Every year there are a lot of sports competitions, sports days and Olympiads. Once in four years the Olympic Games take place in different countries. There are Summer and Winter Olympic Games. This is a great sport competition of the best sportsmen in the world. As for me I go in for table tennis (ping-pong). It needs mobility, liveliness and much energy. It keeps a person in a good form. I have been playing tennis for five years, but the more I play the more I like it.
i like sport. it plays a great role in my activities. most of all i like to play basketball. i am a very good player and often take part in different sport competitions. sometimes we win them but sometimes we lose. basketball is a team game. it is played in any season because you play this game is indoors game. it is played in a gym. but sometimes you can see streetball - basketball in an open air. there are two baskets in this exciting game and only one orange ball. players must throwthe ballto the basket andgetto it to score a goal. there are two teams with only five players.
many people keen in sport because it makes us healthy and help us to be fit. during you play any sport game you are active and it helps you to burn many calories. basketball is an active game. it makes people be strong, healthy and energetic. it is a game for everybody even for disabled people.
to my mind any sport is risky and dangerous. basketball is riscky too because every minute you can break your arm or leg or get another problem with your health.
i like playing basketball most of all. and i am a basketball fan too. i enjoy watching matches on tv and at the stadium. i have been to the stadium twice. it was great.
я люблю спорт. он играет большую роль в моей деятельности. больше всего я люблю играть в баскетбол. я хороший игрок и часто принимаю участие в различных спортивных соревнованиях. иногда мы выигрываем, но иногда проигрываем. баскетбол это командная игра. в нее играют в любое время года, потому что играют в эту игру в закрытом помещении. в нее играют в спортивном зале. но иногда вы можете видеть стритбол - баскетбол на открытом воздухе. есть две корзины в этой захватывающей игре и только один оранжевый мяч. игроки должны бросать мяч в корзину и попасть в нее, чтобы забить гол. в игре две команды всего с пятью игроками.
многие люди занимаются спортом, потому что он делает нас здоровыми и быть в хорошей форме. во то время, когда вы играете в любые спортивные игры вы активны, и это вам сжигать больше калорий. баскетбол - активная игра. она заставляет людей быть сильными, здоровыми и энергичными. это игра для всех, даже для людей с ограниченными возможностями.
на мой взгляд, любой вид спорта рискованный и опасный. баскетбол тоже, потому что каждую минуту вы можете сломать руку или ногу или получить другую проблему с вашим здоровьем.
мне нравится играть в баскетбол больше всего. и я также фанат баскетбола. мне нравится смотреть матчи по телевизору и на стадионе. я был на стадионе два раза. это было здорово.
