In 1947, the UN adopted a decision on the establishment on the previously mandated British territory of two independent states - Palestine and Israel. In response to this decision, several Arab countries - Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, began fighting against the Jews. The Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia not only immediately recognized the Jewish state (hoping to use it in the struggle against "reactionary Arab nationalism" and Britain), but also helped them with weapons. The attack of the Arab armies occurred on the night of the formation of the State of Israel, on May 14, 1948. With considerable difficulty, having lost many people, the Israelis managed to defend their independence, while the territory of Palestine was occupied by them, on the one hand, Egypt and Jordan, on the other. The mass of refugees left the region. In turn, about 800 thousand Jews arrived in Israel, forced to leave the Arab countries.
На английском языке Перевод на русский язык My Work Моя работа My name is Denis. I’m 15 years old. I study in the 9th form of the state secondary school. At the moment we are having summer holidays. It’s one of the best times of the year. It would be boring if we had to stay at home for all three summer months and do nothing. So our school organized a summer working camp, where we have to take care of the city parks, squares, woods and other natural areas. This work is only at the weekdays, from Monday till Friday. I wake up early on these days, at about 7am. I take a shower, have a quick breakfast, wear something comfortable and leave for work. Every day we have different tasks. One day, for example, we have to clean the area around our schools. On other days, we plant trees and flowers at the city park. Once we even had to clean one of the nearest woods and I was surprised to see that there was so much rubbish. I wish people would recycle their empty bottles and cans, and they should definitely use the garbage bins for litter, but not the woods. I must say that I quite enjoy my current work. Many people may think that it’s tiring to do such work every day. However, it’s much more interesting to spend your time in the open air with your classmates and friends, than to stay at home for the whole day. Besides, when I think of how beautiful the parks will soon look with new plants, I feel proud.
Summer is the best period for holidays, so many people schedule their holidays for this time of the year. Schools are also closed during summer months till September. Many schoolchildren say that it’s their favourite season of the year. I also enjoy summer holidays. We usually go to the Black Sea coast. My parents choose the city, book the hotel, buy the tickets and off we go. Sometimes we choose to go to Sochi, sometimes to Crimea. It doesn’t matter which city we visit, because sea and sun are the same everywhere and I like swimming and sunbathing very much. There are many picturesque cities and places to visit. Last year we went to Crimea. It wasn’t only a swimming and relaxing holiday. We also went on many excursions, even climbed the mountains. I can say that Crimea is one of the most fascinating places I’ve ever been to. It offers great opportunities for tourists. The climate is mild, the scenery is nice and there are many interesting historic monuments. The sea was also great. We really enjoyed our stay in Crimea. There is a good chance that we’ll visit it again this year. Another perfect idea for summer holidays is going to countryside, away from the city noise. My grandparents live there and they are always happy to see us.
