Lion is a beautiful and strong animal. In many cultures a lion is referred to as King of the Beasts and considered an embodiment of strength and power. Lions belong to the order of predators.

Their colour may vary from yellowish to dark-brown, but there are white lions as well. Females are usually smaller in size and have no mane. These animals are found mostly in African countries and in India...

A fox is one of the most cunning, agile and wary wild animals. It hunts mainly in the daytime, but can easily chase after a prey at night. Thе red predator has an ability to see in low light conditions. And its flexible ears catch the slightest rustle made by a hare or a mouse. To run away from the fox is not a simple task for a small rodent. This experienced hunter is very swift. Sometimes it moves at a speed up to 48 kilometers per hour. A fox’s bushy tail became a symbol of hunting luck. It is well-known that foxes are close relatives of dogs and wolves...

Teachers help resolve conflicts and arguments, they explain the rules of behaviour and a lot more...

English is my favourite subject at school. That is why I like our English lessons very much. At the beginning of the lesson our teacher Elena Romanovna checks our homework. We retell texts, which we have learned at home, write dictations or read and translate exercises in our workbooks. After that our teacher usually explains us some new grammar and we do two or three exercises in our student’s books. Then we read and translate a text. We also do some tasks connected with the text. Next we usually do a listening and speaking task...

В прошлом году я стала жаворонком, выучила иностранный язык и прочитала в 5 раз больше книг, чем могла осилить до этого. На первый взгляд, я приложила немало усилий, чтобы добиться таких результатов.

Пoскoльку oба слoва частo перевoдятся на русский как "учить" ("учить английский" и "учить английскoму"), тo мнoгие на первых пoрах их путают. Эта oшибка, кoнечнo, присуща сoвсем начинающим, нo, тем не менее, напoмню: teach - oтдавать знания, а learn - пoлучать их. 2. Make/Do А эти два слoва путают не тoлькo нoвички в английскoм. Вo-первых, есть некoтoрoе кoличествo устoйчивых выражений с этими слoвами, кoтoрые нужнo прoстo запoмнить. Вo-втoрых, если пoпытаться вкратце сфoрмулирoвать различие между...

Want - хорошее слово, но немного грубоватое: оно звучит как требование. Для того, чтобы смягчить его, можно воспользоваться следующими конструкциями: I would like ... Я бы хотел... I would prefer... Я бы предпочел... Например: I would like a cup of coffee, please...
