1.  Good for everyone 2.  Easy to care for 3.  Part of culture 4.  Screen fashion 5.  An innovative idea 6.  Working clothes 7.  Jeans’ labels 8.  Clothes to protest 1A.  Jeans are one of fashion's most long enduring trends. Cowboys wear them but so do supermodels, farmers, presidents and housewives. Ask any group of people why they wear jeans and you will get a range of answers. For some they're comfortable and easy – for others they're trendy and cool. Jeans mean different things to different people but they are popular everywhere.  3B.  Americans do not have a national folk dress with a long tradition. Blue jeans are probably the most recognizable article of American clothing. They have been part of American life for over 125 years. Blue denim jeans became not only an expression of American fashion but also an element of American identity known around the world. 6C.  Jeans were first designed as trousers for farmers and miners in the states of the American West. They quickly grew popular with common people, including cowboys, factory employees and railroad builders. The new trousers were made from a very strong material which did not wear out easily. However, at the same time jeans were very practical and comfortable to wear. 5D.  Pockets were the weak point of the miners' clothes – they easily tore away from the jeans. A man called Jacob Davis had the idea of using metal rivets (fasteners) to hold the pockets and the jeans together so that they wouldn't tear. Davis wanted to patent his idea, but he didn't have enough money, so he offered Levi Strauss a deal if Strauss paid for the patent. Strauss accepted and started making jeans. 8E.  By the middle of the twentieth century, these heavy cotton trousers were a symbol of opposition for young artists and writers. College students started to wear them to show they were against the Vietnam War. The new trousers were banned in American schools from coast to coast and sometimes in theatres and cinemas. 2F.  Jeans are good because they don't show the dirt. You can easily go a month without washing them and they don't look shocking. They don't need to be washed as often as other trousers and you don't need to iron them. What's more, because of the strong material you can wear your favorite jeans for years. Even the occasional hole or spot doesn’t spoil them at all. 4G.  In the 30s and 40s many people began to spend their spare time watching movies where adventurous cowboys rode horses, fought bad guys and wore blue jeans. The actors made jeans popular in movies and everyone wanted to wear them. Young people wished to imitate the casual “cowboyish” look they saw in films, and they began to wear jeans as casual wear.

Opinion essay. It should be mandatory for all young people in the future.

  Nowadays , we have lots of problems with our enviroment . Someone cares about it , but most people doesnt. But we are all living there , and need to care about our house. One of the decisions is to make volunteering mandatory , especially for young people , because lots of them cares just about themeselves .

   I think , it is very good idea , because most of youn people have no jobs , so they have time and energy . For example , schools and universities can make some events instead lessons . Sometimes , for example , we have the subbotnik. But it is too rarely , just one time in a year , and not so organised. Moreover , schools just making up their own yards . So , we need to attract volunteering organisations to make subbotniks regular , often and organised . People can collect and recycle rubbish , plant trees or something else .

  On the other hand , we have some problems . The thing is , that most of young people dont want to work for free and to spend their freetime . It is very important , because young people are very stuppborn . The dicision is that schools and universities should make some lections about enviromental disasters to give people understand , for what are they working .
  So , it can be argued. We can make some promotions . For example , Students , who is volunteering , can get good marks , can be free from some lessons or just get some money .
  As a result , if  we will have good organisation , motivation  and be union , we will make our cities cleaner , greener and more friendly .

Consumer society topic.

   Consumer society is a very wide topic about byers and sellers . Consumer society it is a society of all customers , byers and clients , which are interacting with each other around the world . It is shopping , selling , great bargains and tricks.
   First, i want to tell you about future technologies of fabricating and consuming .
   Products of the future.
   Lets think about a normal day. What do you usually wear? What technology do you use? What’s your house like? Now let’s see what everyday life will be like in the future .
What we will be wearing in the future ? While some scientists are developing testiles that allow the wearer to generate electricity as their walk and others are wolking on clothes that monitoring your fitness , Dr manel Torres and prof Paul Lucham have ivited a spray on fabric .These spray contains minute cotton , wool , linen or acrylic fibres that dry instantly on your skin and turn into t-shirt. You can wash it and wear it again , like a simpe t-shirt .When you get bored , you can dissolve it and make something new . It is great technology , because we can wear something new every day , dontneed sizes and will have no old things . Always , Dr.Torres looking on soray on bandages and furniture covering .
  3D printing .Wouldnt it be great , if you could just think about something you want to prin it on a pc . Whell , you can. For the first time , scientist printed a fully working machines with no assembly required . It was bicycle , called the Airbike . It is as strong as aluminium , but much lighter .  Medical researches is working on a printing body parts .
House of the future . As you arrive home with the shopping, Grace tells you who phoned while you were out. You put your groceries down on the kitchen counter and she gives you recipe ideas, tells you how to cook them , and gives you dietary advice. As you move into the living room she organises your evening entertainment. A window made ofsmart glass becomes a TV, wallpaper changes on demand and every surface doubles as a touch screen with instant Internet access. But Grace isn ’t am ember of the family, at least not yet. She’s a network of voice activated computers that runs the e-home - the house of the future. It was made by Microsoft for demostratin technologies. So , soon we will be talking with walls !
  Wertical farm. Stories o f The Hanging Gardens of Babylon, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, tell of a structure with lush green gardens on different levels many metres high. These are long gone, but as our modern consumer society continues to drain the world of its resources, the population rises and food prices soar, a modern-day equivalent may soon be springing up in your neighbourhood!According to the statistics , population of our planet will rise to over 9 billions in 2050. We will be need extra farmin place . So there are great idea , how to solve these problem . Lets make farms in high . These idea is very simple .  Just as an apartment block has different storeys, a vertical farm will have many different floors growing a variety of fruit and vegetables.The walls will be made of glass to allow in sunlight and instead of soil, the produce will be grown in a solution of nutrients and water. These building will get energy from sun and wind power . Just one 30 storey building can feed 10 000 people .
   Now , we can a little bit better imagine our future life with all goods and problems. Now lets talk about our present life .
Made in USA.
Who doesn’t wear jeans, drink cola and eat potato chips? Almost everyone does! But have you ever wondered what the stories are behind these products?
    Jeans . The story of jeans goes back to the 19th century when sailors from Genoa, Italy, wore durable cotton and wool denim trousers. Then, in 1853, 24-year-old Levi Strauss travelled to San Francisco from Germany and decided to design trousers for manual workers from this m aterial. They were a big hit, and by the 1950s jeans had become very popular w ith a whole generation of young people. At first, many places such as theatres and restaurants banned them. Nowadays, jeans are a staple item of clothing in everyone’s wardrobe.
   Potato chips. In 1853, George Crum was working as a chef at a restaurant in New York. One day, a customer sent Crum’s French fries back to the kitchen, saying they were too thick. Crum got very angry and decided to take revenge on the fussy diner; he made a new batch o f fries so thin and crispy that the customer couldn’t eat them w ith a fork! To George’s surprise, the guest was thrilled w ith them and other diners began asking fo r them , too. Fastforw ard to the 21st century and, in the US alone, sales of potato chips amount to over $6 billion per year.
  Coca-cola. John Pemberton, a pharm acist from Georgia, invented the original Coca-Cola formula in a three-legged brass kettle in his backyard! The soft drink was first sold as a medicine in a chemist’s on 8th May, 1886. Dr Pemberton sold about 9 servings each day. He made about $50 in the firs t year, but unfortunately it cost him about $70 to make the cola! In 1887, a businessman bought the formula and by 1900 sales had risen by over 4000%. Coca-Cola remains the most famous soft drink in the world, but its exact ingredients are still a trade secret! One more interesting fact, is that first coca cola was including cocaine . It was an antidepressant . But some time later , cocaine became forbidden and excluded from coca cola .
   Not all of my information are just interesting . There are some usefull information . It is about trics of the trade . Why is your basket overflowing by the time you get to the checkout? Well, the answer lies in the tricks supermarkets use to make you spend more. As you walk into the supermarket, the delicious smell of freshly-baked bread hits you and you im m ediately start feeling hungry. Then, right by the entrance, you see beautiful displays o f fresh and colourful produce, making you feel even hungrier. This is all intentional, because every supermarket knows that hungry customers buy more fru it and vegetables.
   Who can resist a 'buy one get one free’ deal? Yet, with around one third of the food the world produces going to waste, is that second chocolate cheesecake really necessary? In the same way, '3 for £6 ’ might sound like a great bargain, but always check how much an item costs individually. You might not be saving very much at all and you’ll have two extra items that you don't really need.
   Supermarkets know that customers tend to choose products that are at eye level, so the items on the m iddle shelves are usually the most expensive ones. Cheaper brands are on high shelves that are hard to reach. So, remember to give your neck a w orkout and check out what's on the top shelves.
   Don’t expect supermarkets to use packaging strategies that make it easy to work out which goods are the cheapest either. It may be easier to grab some prepackaged apples, but they're also a lot more expensive than loose ones.
   All of these trics are realy sneaky , but there are way , how to resist it . Just think , which things are you realy need  and will you use it for all 100%
   So , be be careful with wasting money , products and time . Communicate with anothers consumers and you will get just qualty things for good price .
  Расскажу я все это , естественно , не в слово в слово , а еще более просто по мере возможности .

Armstrong and Gagarin

Neil Alden Armstrong (August 5, 1930 – August 25, 2012) was an American(Y.G.- Russian) astronaut and the first person to walk on the Moon(Y.G.-1st in space). He was also an aerospace engineer, naval aviator, test pilot(Y.G.-test pilot), and university professor. Before becoming an astronaut, Armstrong was an officer(Y.G.-too) in the U.S. Navy and served in the Korean War. After the war, he earned his bachelor's degree at Purdue University and served as a test pilot at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) High-Speed Flight Station, where he logged over 900 flights. He later completed graduate studies at the University of Southern California.

A participant in the U.S. Air Force's Man in Space Soonest and X-20 Dyna-Soar human spaceflight programs, Armstrong joined theNASA Astronaut Corps in 1962(Y.G.- flew in 12th april 1961). He made his first space flight as command pilot of Gemini 8(Y.G.-Vostok-1) in March 1966(Y.G.-in1961), becoming NASA's first civilian astronaut to fly in space(Y.G.- opened the doors to space travels). He performed the first docking of two spacecraft, with pilot David Scott.^[1] This mission was aborted after Armstrong used some of his re-entry control fuel to stop a dangerous spin caused by a stuck thruster, in the first in-flight space emergency.

Armstrong's second and last spaceflight was as commander of Apollo 11, the first manned Moon landing mission in July 1969. Armstrong and Lunar Module pilot Buzz Aldrin descended to the lunar surface and spent two and a half hours(Y.G.-108min in space) outside the spacecraft, while Michael Collins remained in lunar orbit in the Command/Service Module. Along with Collins and Aldrin, Armstrong was awarded(Y.G.- was congratulated by Nikita Khruschev) the Presidential Medal of Freedom(Y.G.-National hero) by President Richard Nixon. President Jimmy Carter presented Armstrong the Congressional Space Medal of Honor in 1978(Y.G.-Hero of Soviet Union). Armstrong and his former crewmates received the Congressional Gold Medal in 2009.

Breaking news

   I want to tell you about breaking news .

   There are 6 types of breaking news. It is culture , world situation , crimes , tech , famous people , nature disasters and man - made disasters. 

   Cultural news always about poetry , artistry or archeology . That news are not so loudly and breaking . Most of people just don't think about it . 

   News about world situation . Now , it is the most important news for people . It is politics and military situation . Most of that news are very reworked . They can be exaggerated or keep in silence . So , people don't know , is that hews true or false . Even more , political leaders can control us very well by using mass media .

   Crime news are interesting for locals . For example , people of Chelyabinsk will be interested about a crew of thievs , because that information can help them to not to be burgled . 

    Tech news , in most, are interesting for all people , because their well-being are closly connected with science , medecine and gadgets . Moreover , most of news channel have thy own heading about gadgets . 

    Famouse people news , for me , are not so interesting . But if you are interested about live os any star , that news can be interesting for you . But , unfourtunaently , lots of that news are false and they just making that people more famouse .
    News about disasters , i think , 2nd most breakig after world situation . Because thousands of people gets injuried , homeless or die every year .

A freelance job:is it worth doing it.

   Now , freelance is a very popular type of employment . There are lots of advantages and disadvantages . Some people think , that it is too dangerouse  , but some people think , that it is much better than permanent job . Now , lets think over , who is freelancer and is it worth to do it.

   Freelancer has no permanent job. Employer is finding freelancer and giving  him an order with exact time frames . 

   So , first advantage of freelance is absence of work graphic . You can work when you want. For example , you can make your work in morning an be free for all day. You can combine learning and working. One of the mainest advantage , is that your hobby can be your work . For exampe , if you like videomaking , you can make videos by order . If you like to write articles , you can write articles , for example , for magazins or web pages. 

   In sum , we can see , that freelance is great way to earn money and work for pleasure . But just if you dont scare of sometimes less of money . Moreover, it is great way of part time work or second work .

my summer holidays . Expressing opinion

    Some people claim , that hiking tours are interesting and useful for health while other argue that they are difficult , tiring and can be dangerouse . I think , that hiking is great idea how you can spend your holidays. It is realy very interesting , useful and not so expensive. Now I would like to express my point of view on tre problem of hiking tours.
    Some people argue , that hiking is great . To begin with , Hiking is great way to improve or chek your health. Hiking it is long pedestrian trekking. Muscles of your legs is working better , that in gum or simpe walking. Especially if you have heavy backpack. The same way , your back are working. For exampe , I had some hiking , and my legs became stronger . Now I can ride on bicycle more faster and for londer distation , than two years ago. Another plus of hiking , it is clean air and water . Your lungs will became cleaner . Toxins will go out of your body . Especially if you treking for long time (5 or more days) or in mountains . For exampe , I was have some cough  , but after hiking tour it less . One more plus , is that you can see lots of hidden places , true nature and silence.
    In the other hand , there is some minuses of hiking . Firstly , sometimes it can be dangerouse. Because of wild animals , weather (especially for mountains) , not enough knowlege of terrain. If weather will change so fast , you can get hypotermia , after that ill or even die . For example , in one of my hiking tours , storm started and I became ill.
     So in most part , sucessful of hiking depends of you and your group . You just need to have some knowledge and be carefull. Hiking is not expensive and great way to spend your holidays .
