MY FAVOURITE ACTOR. KEVIN COSTNER — ACTOR CAME PRODUCER
Kevin Costner, a famous american actor, was born in Los Angeles. He spent his childhood often on the move, changing schools frequently, owing to his father's job at the regional electricity company. As a teenager, he developed a keen liking for football, baseball and basket-ball and was also interested in singing and writing poetry.
He married his college sweetheart Cindy wilst still at California State University and came out with a business degree in marketing. In his spare time he appeared in local theatre productions. Theatre became increasingly important to him and after having worked six weeks in a marketing company, he gave the job up to become an actor.
He played in many small part roles before his principle role which was not a success. However Costner himself was given good reviews. In 1987 his starring role in «The Untouchables» and «No Way Out» really introduced him to international fame. Indeed, he won the Star of Tomorrow prize from the U. S. National Association of Theatre Owners. Then in 1988 came «Bull Durham» which was a huge hit movie in the States about baseball. His subsequent film «Field of Dreams» was also a success and touched baseball again. Then came the violent drama movie «Revenge» followed by his first directorial debut film «Dances With Wolves» in which he also starred and which won 7 Oscars. His movie «Robin Hood, Prince of the Thieves» was also a great success.
I like this actor because the characters he plays are strong personalities, wise people who are worthy of my admiration. In my opinion, this is the reason of his growing popularity in many, countries. He is not only a talented actor, who's acting draws your attention from the very moment you see his face on the screen. But he is also a successful producer and continues working at his new films which are certain to amuse the people.

My favourite kind of sport
I like one good proverb: "In sports and journeys men are known." I believe it means that sport which person plays can show who this person is and tell a lot about his inner–world.
There are so many kinds of sport: football, basketball, and hockey for active team players; ice–skating, running or track and fields for hard–working individuals and even chess and other intellectual kinds of sport. So you only need to find yours.
Personally, I think that sport is as important to me as education. I’m convinced that the sound mind is in a sound body. Therefore, I’m trying to keep fit by different means. I like different active team games in summer. I can play beach volleyball or tennis with my friends. In winter I prefer going to the gym or some kinds of winter sports as ice–skating or snowboarding. This is great fun. In spring and autumn when the weather is good I love jogging in the park enjoying the nature around.
However, there is one sport that brings me the most of the pleasure. It’s horse–riding. I have been doing this kind of sport for only 2 years, but I’m already quite good at it. There is a small school of horse–riding not far away from the town where I live. There are not many horses, but I need only one. Its nickname is Lucky and I have been riding it since early beginning of my training. I like the coach too. She teaches me to take care of horses and to communicate with them.
Unfortunately, this kind of sport is expensive and I don’t have an opportunity to do it on a regular basis. Nevertheless, when I’m riding I feel a great influence of this animal. It’s not just a kind of sport but a kind of psychotherapy that gives you spiritual balance.
So, I can recommend trying this sport for sure, because it’s appropriate for everyone and it’s more than just physical activity.

MY HOUSEHOLD CHORES
I know only few people who enjoy household duties. Nevertheless, keeping the house clean and tidy is very important. At least parents say that. So what exactly do house chores include?
My tasks about the house can be divided into two sorts – daily and weekly chores. Every day starts with making my bed. If clothes are messy, I need to pick them up. I noticed that all my schoolbooks and copybooks are in order, preparation takes less time. One of the duties is to wash the dishes. It is the most unpleasant for me. If only we had a washing machine at home!..
Several times a week I have to go shopping. It is easy as mother gives me a shopping list and allows buying something sweet. She never makes me carry heavy bags so I go to the store when some products are out. Fortunately, I’m not the only child in the family, so we share some responsibilities with my elder sister. She often forgets something or asks me to wash her cup or plates. That is a piece of cake; I try to help all the time.
On Saturday or Sunday we have our house cleaned. That means sweeping and washing the floor, vacuum cleaning, dusting, laundering and ironing. At the weekend the whole family works. Father cleans the bathroom with a detergent. Mother takes laundering and ironing. My sister and I need to cope with the rest. Luckily, it doesn’t take a lot of time and in the afternoon everyone finishes the duties.
As for me, cleaning the house is boring but it helps to discipline people. It goes without saying that a clean and cozy house is better than untidy and messy one.

Kyiv
I'm from Ukraine. The capital of our country is Kiev. It is a very beatiful city, especially in spring when the chestnut trees are in blossom.
Kiev is a large political, industrial, scientific and cultural centre. Its population is above 2 mln people. Kiev is situated on the Dnieper, the longest river in Ukraine.
The capital of Ukraine is one of the oldest cities in Europe, and it's no wonder because it was founded more than 1500 years ago. There is a legend about its founding.
Once there were three brothers: Kiy, Shchek and Khoriv and they had a young sister Lybed. They founded a city on one of the hills above the Dnieper and called it Kiev after the eldest brother. And in honour of the younger brother one hill was named Shchekavitsa, and another — Khorevitsa, while the river was called Lybid after their sister.Ancient Kyiv was a large commercial centre of the East Slavs. Its position on the important water route helped its trade. It played an important role in the development of written language, literature, painting and architecture.Modern Kiev has a highly developed industry. Many different things are produced in it.Speaking about kiev I cannot help saying that it is the largest centre of national Ukrainian culture. The famous Kiev Shevchenko Opera and ballet House, Ivan franko Drama Theatre are well-known all over the world. You can find fifteen studios, a nice circus in the capital of our country.As I have already said Kiev is an important scientific centre. The Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, 19 higher educational institutions, many research institutes are to be found here.
London — the Capital of the UK
London is the capital of Great Britain, its political, economic and cultural centre. It is one of the largest cities in the world. Its population is more than 11 000 000 people. London is situated on the river Thames.
The city is very old and beautiful. It was founded more than two thousand years ago. Traditionally London is divided into several parts: the City, the Westminster, the West End and the East End.
The City is the oldest part of London, its financial and business centre. The Westminster is the aristocratic official part of London. It includes Buckingham Palace, where the Queen lives, and the Houses of Parliament.
The West End is the most beautiful part of London. The best hotels, restaurants, shops, clubs, parks and houses are situated there.
The East End is an industrial district of London. There are many factories and the Port of London there.
London has many places of interest. One of them is the Houses of Parliament, the seat of the British Government. There one can see the famous Tower Clock Big Ben, the symbol of London. Big Ben is the real bell which strikes every quarter of an hour. Another place of interest is Buckingham Palace. It’s the residence of the Queen. There are many other places of interest in London: Trafalgar Square, Regent’s Park, Westminster Abbey and, of course, the British Museum. It’s impossible to describe all places of interest.
The best way to know London is to visit it.

Cinema in Our Life
The invention of the photography in 1828 played a very important role in the development of the cinema. 1895 became the year when the cinema was born. After the brothers Lumier had invented the cinematography, the cinema widely spread all over the world. The first movie theatres appeared in 1904. And in 1907 the literature works started to be widely used for the movie scripts. Now different movie versions of novels and stories of famous writers are still very popular.
The movies are a powerful force in contemporary life. Cinema is also used for educational purposes. Video classes are useful when studying geography, foreign languages and many other subjects. They are also the means of getting acquainted with the world. With the help of documentary and science films one can get much information about the world around. The news on TV helps to know what happens in the world each day. It also helps to attract the attention of people to different important problems, such as hunger, earthquakes, water pollution and so on.
The cinema is also the means of entertainment. After a working day one can relax watching some good movie. Nowadays people can’t just imagine their life without the art of cinema.
