Libraries are very important in the life of all people. We can't buy all the books we want to read. That's why we take out books from libraries.
A lot of people go to libraries on Saturdays. They have some time to spare, because Saturday is a day off. They bring their books to the library and go home taking new books. The librarians take books from the people who come in and give them some new books to choose for reading at home. In a book there is a little pocket and in this pocket there is a piece of paper.
The librarian takes this piece of paper out of the pocket in the book. She fills it in, that is, puts the date on the piece of paper and on the right page of the book. Then she puts the piece of paper in the person's reading card. Speaking about libraries it is necessary to admit that Moscow holds the first place among all the other cities of the world for the number of its libraries. The largest library in the world is the State Lenin Library with an overall fund of 21 million various titles in 166 languages. It has 22 reading-rooms, special halls for scientific reference work, for children and youth, for current periodicals, reference books, manuscripts and for other purposes. The library has a book exchange service with 60 countries of the world.
I enjoy reading books. And it doesn't matter what kind of book it is. It can be a collection of short stories, a book of poems or adventures. I equally enjoy them all. But there's one thing that matters. When I choose a book for reading, it shouldn't be dull but interesting.
I used to get some of my books from my school library. I must admit our school library had a good stock of books and the librarian was always ready to help in one's choice of books. A great number of volumes filled the shelves. One could find there books of adventure stories, historical novels and tales that opened up panoramas of life and history of other countries, psychological novels, collections of short stories, the immortal classics.
Our school library subscribed to several newspapers and magazines. They kept us well informed about the latest developments in this country and abroad, news in the spheres of science, art and literature.
Though I attend libraries on a regular basis, I buy quite a lot of books too, particularly those that I read before and enjoyed reading. I like to have them in my room so that I can turn to them not only once but time and again. I derive an utmost pleasure from sitting in the room where my books are and even if I am not reading them, I like to look at the books on the shelves and to feel that I have my friends around me, friends that will never let you down, that will never betray you.
New Year is my favourite holiday.We celebrate it on the 31st of December.
This year I celebrated New Year with my family. On New Year Eve we bought a New Year tree and decorated it with coloured balls and bright lights. We bought presents for our friends and relatives. My mother and I cooked a holiday supper. We made tasty salads, chicken, potatoes and mushrooms. We made a holiday cake, too. We bought a lot of fruit and sweets. We decorated our house with flakes and toys and put beautiful candles on the fireplace. We put a nice tablecloth, place and cups on the table.
Our guests came to visit us in the evening. They gave me wonderful presents. My aunt gave me a teddy bear as a present. My uncle`s present for me was a beautiful doll.
Then Father Frost came to our place. He was so funny! He had a big bag of presents.I told him a poem about winter, and he gave me a computer game as a present.
At last New Year came! We congratulated our dearest and nearest and wished them a Happy New Year! We enjoyed food and drinks. We danced, sang songs and played. I played the guitar. We had a good time together.
New Year was a merry and a happy holiday. I liked it very much.

Новый год - мой любимый праздник. Мы отмечаем его 31 декабря.
В этом году я отмечала Новый год со своей семьей. В канун Нового года мы купили ёлку и украсили её разноцветными шарами и яркими огнями. Мы купили подарки нашим друзьям и родственникам. Мы с мамой приготовили праздничный ужин. Мы сделали вкусные салаты, курицу с картошкой и грибами. Мы также испекли праздничный торт. Мы купили много фруктов и конфет. Мы украсили наш дом снежинками и игрушками, и поставили красивые свечи на камин. Мы постелили красивую скатерть и поставили тарелки и чашки на стол.
Наши гости пришли к нам вечером. Они подарили мне чудесные подарки. Моя тетя подарила мне плюшевого медведя.В подарок от дяди я получила красивую куклую
Потом пришел Дед Мороз. Он был такой забавный! У него был большой мешок с подарками. Я рассказала ему стишок про зиму, и он подарил мне компьютерную игру.
Наконец, наступил Новый год! Мы поздравили наших самых близких и дорогих и пожелали им счастливого нового дома. Мы наслаждались едой и напитками. Мы танцевали, пели песни и играли. Я играла на гитаре. Мы хорошо провели время вместе.
Новый год был весёлый и счастливый праздник. Мне он очень понравился.
Batman is one of the most popular heroes of DC Comics Universe. First time he was mentioned in Detective Comics No27 in May, 1939. He has no special powers or abilities. His true name is Bruce Wayne and he's a billionaire. He's a very clever and well-educated man. So, all his "powers" are created by himself. As usual, he overcomes his enemies with stratagem and his self-created weapons. Also he is famous with his Batmobile. It's a great car with incredible abilities. It's also made by himself. He's also known as Dark Knight. Gotham is the city, protected by Batman. Joker is his most famous enemy. I think he's one of the greatest heroes in all comics Universe.
