текст по британскому про путешествие или знаменитости с неуввязками в школе

I visited Egypt at the beginning of summer. Its beauty impressed me greatly.
Travelling is a good way to get to know other countries, their history, culture and people.
We spent a very good time there. The sea with its warm water was a wonderful place for swimming. The underwater world is very rich. The Red and Mediterranean seas are famous for their exotic fish and beautiful corals. Its a real pleasure to lie under the sun and enjoy the sea breeze.

We visited a lot of interesting places, such as museums, made of huge white stones. The main museum of Egypt the Pyramids is situated in the open air in Cairo - the capital of Egypt.

People from all over the world come to Egypt. English is one of the main international languages which helps people understand each other. And I should say that I had a very good chance to practise and improve my English there.

Eastern women wear black clothes, though the weather is hot there. Its their tradition. All people are believers in Egypt, and they pray many times a day, so I was sure that Egypt was a country of peace and quietness.

Nothing of the kind.

Everything has changed this year. People showed their disagreement with the government. They wanted to change their president. The police defended the government, and for two weeks we had been watching the news on TV from Egypt. It looked like a real war. A lot of people were killed. It was awful.

But I hope that in the nearest future Egypt will become again an interesting and perfect place for tourism. Itll become a peaceful and quiet country.
I hope that one day Ill visit this nice country again.
 

Travelling

Travelling is very popular nowadays. A lot of people travel to different countries if they have such opportunity. Travelling allows you to get interesting experience, learn about peoples life in other countries and continents. I think it is very interesting to discover new things, new places and different ways of life. While on travel, you meet new people, try different meals; see world famous places with your own eyes.

These are many ways of traveling by train, by plain, by ship, on foot. If you want to visit a far country, youll definitely choose a flight. If your aim is to see many countries for a short time, youll choose travelling by bus or by car. If you want to be closer to nature, you may choose a trip on foot.

Lots of people nowadays live in big cities. So its natural that they want to have a holiday by the sea or in the mountains with nothing to do but relaxing. There is other sort of travellers. They want to visit as many countries as possible. So after exploring Europe and North America they go to exotic countries.

People who travel a lot, are very interesting, they always have a good story to tell. Thanks to them you can learn many things which you didnt know before. They motivate to see something new, to explore the world, which is so easy to do nowadays. Any kind of travel helps you to understand many things that you would never see or learn at home.

Topic: School Problems

The first problem in my personal rating is absence of freedom of choice. What does it mean? For example, if an adult person doesnt want to work as a teacher, he can try хэнд in something else. If he doesnt like working in this particular company, nobody will make him do that. Yes, sometimes adult people have to do boring and unpleasant work, but, firstly, its their own choice, and, secondly, they get money for this. As for pupils at school, they cannot choose what subjects to study. They cannot choose teachers as well. They just have to do what everyone does. And that is not fair. For instance, I know for sure that I will never need Geometry in my life. I am going to be an interpreter or a tour guide, and dedicate my life to travelling and communicating with people. I dont consider myself to be stupid, but I really cant cope with all these figures, theorems and integrals I just have no gift for Mathematics. And I dont understand why on earth I should waste time and efforts on this useless stuff! It is commonly believed that schoolchildren are too small to choose, because they dont know what subjects they will need in future. Yes, I agree that they are too small in primary school, but we, tenth-graders are old enough to make a choice. However, I will have to pass a Unified State Exam on Math, which is a compulsory subject, and its more than likely that I will spoil my school-leaving certificate with a bad mark.

The second big problem for me is a constant lack of time because of excessive homework. Every teacher thinks that his subject is the most important one, and tries to give us a full load of homework. On the average, I need an hour to do the tasks for one subject. And we have at least five or six lessons a day. Just imagine: after school I have to learn by heart two poems on Literature, do several sums on Math, fill a chart on Biology, get prepared for a test on English, and learn several pages on History. All in all, it takes me about five hours. So, I study six hours at school and five hours at home, having, as a result, an eleven-hour working day. Do you know many adults, who are involved in intellectual activity for eleven hours a day? I think, no. Most adults, when they come home from their work, either have a rest, or just change the type of activity. And we have to study all day long, from morning till night. Dont think that I am lazy, but I think that secondary school pupils today are really overloaded. Its no surprise that many of them have poor health, suffer from obesity, scoliosis and weak sight.

The third problem for me is an attitude of some teachers to their pupils. For example, my English teacher is really great. Apart from being a born teacher, she is very gentle, polite and intelligent. She respects every pupil regardless of his academic progress and achievements. And we respect her too. Unfortunately, there are other teachers, who can be very rude towards us. For example, our teacher of Biology can easily humiliate a pupil who is not ready for the lesson. Once I said something wrong, and she turned me into ridicule publicly, driving me to tears. After that I even didnt want to go to school. However, we cannot choose teachers.
