Looking for a job. (after M. Gold)

When I was twelve, I was one of the best pupils at public school. My parents were proud of me. They wanted me to go to high school. I refused to go to high school. There were four children in my family. My mother could not work. Could my father get the money for all of us? Of course, not. Miss Barry, an English teacher, tried to get me to go to high school, But I told her that my father was unable to support me I would have to work. She asked me to promise her to study. I told her that I would, though I knew it was a lie. But I loved books, I was carried away by many books, I wanted very much to go to high school and college. Miss Barry presented me with a book. I thanked her for it and threw it. I told myself that I hated books, that they were lies and were different from life. It was not easy to find my first job. I looked for it for months. At last I found a job. It was in a factory. The place was dark and hot, the air was poisoned. I forgot my college hopes, I could not sleep at night. My mother made me leave the job. Months passed before I found another job, this time in a printing shop. Then it was a job in a shop, at a chemist’s. Jobs. Jobs. I went from one to another without plan, without hope. I was at a loss what to do. One day I stopped to listen to a man who was speaking about the struggle for a better life. The words brought hope to me and made me think, struggle and live. It was the great beginning for me. (300 words)/ The main idea of the text is:

The Joy and Enthusiasm of Reading I believe in the absolute and unlimited liberty of reading. I believe in wandering through the huge stacks of books and picking out the first thing that strikes me. I believe in choosing the hardest book imaginable. I believe in reading what others have to say about this difficult book, and then making up my own mind, agreeing or disagreeing with what I have read and understood. What Mr. Buxton did not tell me was what the play meant. He left the conclusions to me. The situation was much the same with my history teacher in 11th grade, Mr. Flanders, who encouraged me to have my own relationship with historical events and my own attitude to them. He often quoted famous historians in the process. All the works I read were open texts. It was an exciting experience. Besides, I got familiar with wonderful works of literary criticism. No doubt they arrived at these beliefs through their own adventures in the stacks. Perhaps their adventures were not so exciting or romantic. And these are important questions for philosophers of every character. But yet I know only what joy and enthusiasm about reading have taught me, in bookstores new and used. They have taught me not to be afraid of something new, unusual or non-traditional, not to deny it but embrace it and try to understand even if you cannot agree with it. Not to stay within the boundaries but always seek for something new and enjoy every second of this creative process and be happy every time you get some result, no matter how positive or negative. You could spend a lifetime thinking about a sentence, and making it your own. In just this way, I believe in the freedom to see literature, history, truth, unfolding ahead of me like a book whose spine has just now been cracked. False statement

Travelling I’ve spent the last year wandering around the globe and exploring this wondrous thing called life. I’ve learned that the timing will never be perfect because rarely are we blessed with the perfect time to do something. When I was planning on leaving to travel for a year, it was never the “right time” when everything was going to be put on hold for my travels. I needed more money, or I would lose my job. I realized that I was never going to be “ready” to drastically change my life, as I was always going to have some new commitment or excuse. So I left at the “wrong time” in life and it turned out to be the best thing that happened to me. But once I got sick of missing out on things I wanted to do and see, I started to just do them anyway. I’ve also learned friendships are everything. I heard this one a lot before, but never really believed it that much. It was only when I had no friends that I realized their importance. Another lesson I have learned is that life doesn’t have to be “normal”. Go to school, get a job, or buy a big house. When anyone strays from this path they are considered to be not “normal”. I began to meet interesting characters from all over the world and saw firsthand how they had gone “against the grain” and succeeded. I saw and experienced how happy people are doing something completely different than normal jobs, because they get to wake up every day and do what they want to do in the place they want to be. So, while travelling you get a whole new perspective on what really matters and you feel this sense of adventure and excitement that reminds you just how many possibilities you have in life. It will teach you more about yourself and the world around you than you could ever imagine. Travelling helps you

At the customs house A Frenchwoman decided to go to Great Britain for a holiday. She booked a seat for a plane as she wanted to get there as soon as possible. At the booking – office she found out that it would take her only two hours to get to London. She was very happy. She hurried home and began packing her things as she was afraid to leave something important behind. After she had packed everything, she found, that she had two big suit-cases. She ordered a taxi in advance to come to the airport on time. On the day of her flight, she checked her things again, when she suddenly remembered about her nice little dog. She could not leave the dog at home as there was no one who would look after it. So, she decided to take the dog to GB. The flight was very pleasant. The Frenchwoman thought that nobody noticed her dog. But just before the plane landed one of the passengers who was sitting near the woman told her that the English did not let foreigners bring dogs to their country. The woman did not know what to do. When the plane landed, she put the dog under her coat and went to the Customs House. The dog was so little that she hoped the Customs officer wouldn’t notice it. At the Custom’s House she filled in all the necessary forms and came up to the Customs officer, who looked at her big suit-cases and asked if she had anything to declare. “Oh, no,” she answered, “all the things are for my own use.” “But do you know that you can’t bring dogs to this country?” asked the officer. “But I have no dog,” answered the lady. ‘Then I understand the tail which is hanging down below your coat is your own,” said the Customs Officer.

Walt Disney and his heroes Walt Disney was born in Chicago, his father being Irish Canadian, his mother of German-American origin. He revealed a talent for drawing and an interest in photography early on and after service with the American Red Cross in the First World War. In 1923 he left with his brother Roy for Hollywood and for some years struggled against poverty while producing a series of cartoon films. In 1927 he had some success with the series called "Oswald the Lucky Rabbit", but it was not until September 1928, when "Steamboat Willie" appeared, the first "Mickey Mouse" with sound, that he achieved lasting success. Mickey Mouse became a household word together with such companions as Minnie, Pluto, and — perhaps the favourite of them all — Donald Duck. "The Three Little Pigs" and "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", with their still familiar songs by Frank Churchill, immediately spring to mind. After the Second World War Disney turned his attention to real-life nature studies and non-cartoon films with living actors. After a rather unsuccessful feature cartoon "The Sleeping Beauty", he made a triumphant come-back with the very successful "Mary Poppins". In 1955 he branched out into a different enterprise —"Disney-land", a huge amusement park in southern California. Disneyland is situated 27 miles south of Los Angeles, at Anaheim. Of all the show-places none is as famous as Disneyland. This superb kingdom of fantasy linked to technology was created by Walt Disney. The park is divided into six themes and there is so much to see and do in each that no one would attempt to see all of them in one visit. For extended visits, there are hotels nearby. Walt Disney died in California at the age of 65. His works have given so much pleasure for many years to many people, young and old, in many countries. Who wrote the songs to “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs"?
