It
is interesting and ___USEFUL____. Language skills help people to travel,
study, and establish ___PROFESSIONAL____ links with colleagues from other
countries. Some people say that learning languages is easy but others
strongly ___DISAGREE____. They say that learning languages takes a lot of
time and they are not happy with their progress anyway. Meanwhile, there
are some strategies that can make you a successful language
_____LEARNER____ and save your time. The first idea is watching films in
the original. If the films are ____INTERESTING____, learning is just fun,
not hard work. Online and live ___COMMUNICATING____ with people in the
language you are learning also helps a lot. I’m not a child but I still like cartoons and animated films.
___RECENTLY____, I enrolled in an animation course in our university. The
____TEACHER_____ of the course explained to us how animated films are
made. Basically, animation is just a series of pictures with a
character. Each picture is a little ____DIFFERENT_______. When you show the
pictures really fast, it looks like they are moving. Some people say
animation is not a serious thing. I strongly ___DISAGREE_____. Animated
films may be ___FUNNY_____ but clever and useful to learn new skills. I
believe they can be used in many spheres, and most importantly of all in
___EDUCATION_____. Not everyone likes street art. ____USUALLY__ nobody asks owners’
permission before drawing graffiti on their houses. Sometimes the
drawings may be ___INTERESTING_____ and nice but sometimes messy and ugly.
What is graffiti – a form of art or vandalism? It depends on the
drawing, I think. A friend of mine, John, is a street __ARTIST____. He says
that street art is a form of __COMMUNICATION__. A person can tell you
nice or rude things, can’t he? As for John, he is a really nice and
___CREATIVE_____ person. He enjoys drawing _VARIOUS___ characters
from animated films. When my neighbours saw his drawings, they asked him
to paint some pictures on the wall of their house. Just to make it look
brighter and more positive. What is the most eco-friendly transport? I believe it’s the bicycle.
There are a lot of bicycles on the streets of our town and that is
probably why it looks so green and ____BEAUTIFUL_. There are cycle lanes
all over the town so using your bike to get to school or to the office
is safe and convenient. ___UNFORTUNATELY____, some people still prefer
driving cars even for short distances. They make the environment less
_____HEALTHY___. As for me, I enjoy riding my bike very much and all my
friends say that I’m a good ____RIDER__. Next month I’m going to take
part in a regional cycling _____COMPETITION__ and I hope to win it. I
don't think I will stop riding my bicycle till I’m ____REALLY___ old.
Koalas are cute animals. _____UNFORTUNATELY___, it causes them lots of
problems. There are people who want to keep the cute exotic animal as a
pet which may put the koala in a really ____DANGEROUS___ situation. The
problem is that the koala’s diet is very specific. To stay ___HEALTHY_ they should only eat eucalyptus leaves. The leaves
need to be young and fresh, which means a person who keeps a koala
should also have a lot of eucalyptus trees. Andrew Page, a
___SCIENTIST__ who has been studying koalas for years, says that it’s
a bad idea to keep this animal as a pet. According to him, people who
try to do it usually have very little _____INFORMATION__ about koala’s
lifestyle. And their ignorance can often cost the ___BEAUTIFUL__ animal
its life.
