Сочинение на тему досуг на английском

Everybody sometimes has a free time. Somebody prefers only to sleep in their leisure time, but most of us prefer to do a great number of interesting things. It may be reading, various types of sport games, watching TV, listening to music and so on.

If we have a few days or a week we prefer to go to the attractive places. Many people think that pupils and students have too much leisure time, but in my opinion, they are wrong. We are very busy. Many pupils have six or seven lessons a day and go to school five or six days a week. Even during weekend we learn our lessons. And we just have no time to go somewhere. Oldest of us are working after school or institute.

As for me, a large part of my free time is devoted to reading. I like to read books about another countries, another times and another worlds. Also I read books about history of our country. Besides reading I like to do physical exercises. Me and my school friends often gather after school and play basketball, football or other active games. But my favorite hobby is travelling. Usually I travel in summer and often it is a trip to the south, to the warm sea. I think all people must have other occupations besides their basic work, because it extends the boundaries of the familiar world and teaches us something new about people and things.

Everyone needs some leisure time. It is simply impossible to work non-stop, no matter how important your goals are. Without a period of relaxation, you get slower and slower, until you finally feel sick and get an absent leave. Moreover, when you are stressed and unhappy, the quality of your work falls dramatically. It is hard to notice a good idea, let alone implement it into your work process, when you are in bad mood. That is why it is so important to have some leisure time, when you can do everything you like on your own or with your friends. And you should not regret every minute of it, because you are not doing the stuff you are paid for, but enjoy it to the fullest, for it allows to work faster and more productively.

My idea of fun

Everyone is different, that is why we all enjoy doing different things in our leisure time. One likes watching TV, another plays football with their friends, it is all good, as long as it brings a person satisfaction. As for me, my passion is cinema and good literature. I am an avid reader. When I was younger, I would read every book I could find. Then there was a period in my life when I read only science fiction. Now I try to read only good books, which either have a good idea or are somewhat helpful for me. As for cinema, I like watching new movies with my friends. It is awesome to be able to discuss all the subtle details with them.

Things I want to try doing in my leisure time

I do not usually have a lot of free time, but sometimes I am too bored to do something really important. That is when I need something interesting to distract myself from work and let my brains rest. I have recently made a list of things a can try in my leisure time to entertain myself.

• Riding my bicycle in the park near my home;
• Jogging in the evening;
• Learning Spanish or French;
• Writing on my blog;
• Walking on foot and taking nice photos of ordinary things;
• Trying relaxation through meditation.

Сочинение по английскому: «Российский флаг»

The national flag of Russia consist of three horizontal stripes of red on the bottom, blue in the middle and white on the top. Those colours are considered to be Pan-Slavic. Russian government has never assigned any official meaning to the colors of the national flag. It was adopted in the middle of 17th century.

The Origins of the Flag of Russia

According to one theory, the colors of the flag came from the Grand Duchy of Moscow and depict Saint George in a silver armor, on a white horse, wearing a blue cap on a red field. Another theory states that white color is a symbol of God, blue of Tsar and red of peasants. Another theory states that white stands for a bright future, blue for clouded present and red for the bloody past. The 22nd of August is officially a Flag Day in Russia.

Peter the Great chose such flag for Russia because he was very fond of Holland. Nevertheless, it first appeared during the reign of the first tsar of the Romanov dynasty, Mikhail Fedorovich. In 1634, the court of Mikhail Fedorovich embassy arrived from Holstein Friedrich III. In addition to diplomatic issues, the embassy has also decided the question of the construction of ten ships to travel to Persia. The first ship, «Frederick», was launched in 1636. His term of shipboard life was short-lived, but he went under the Holstein flag suspiciously like our current tricolor. Alexis chose this flag for the first Russian frigate As the team consisted entirely of frigates of the Dutch, so without hesitation, it was decided to put a flag identical to the Dutch.

Former Russian Flags

At the times of Ivan the Terrible the traditional flag was red with the image of Christ. In 1552, Russian troops marched under it on the victorious assault on Kazan. The flag of Tsar Alexiei Michilovich was deeply symbolic. Musketeer banners inspired it. It is based on the Cross.Thus, this flag indicates the mission of Russia in the universe, as the last speaker on the true faith — Orthodoxy.

The flag of the Romanov dynasty had three colours – black, yellow and white). It was introduced in the Decree of Alexander II of June 11, 1858.The developer of the flag was probably B.Kene. Black-yellow-white flag is based on the Russian heraldic tradition. Its black color stands for two-headed eagle, yellow for gold fields and white is the color of communication.

The first person who used the tricolor in the USSR was Garry Kasparov. During the world championship match with Anatoly Karpov (who played under the Soviet flag), Kasparov made a red, white and blue flag. Everything was changing and Garry obviously felt how and where the wind was blowing. Kasparov, by the way, won that match. A year later new flag established.

Karazin University was founded in 1804, few years ago, students celebrated its bicentennial.

Karazin University has old traditions. Besides, since the middle of the XX century it is one of the most famous buildings in the city. Some say that the length of its corridors is about seven miles.
