Топик People Around the World

As you know people from different countries don't look the same. For example, people from countries such as Denmark, Norway and Sweden are usually tall. They have fair hair, blue eyes and a pale complexion.

Most people in Mediterranean countries such as Italy, Spain and Greece are rather short. They have usually got black or dark brown wavy hair, brown eyes and light brown skin.

Most people from central and southern parts of Africa have got black curly hair and very dark skin. They have also got dark brown eyes, full lips and a wide, flattish nose.

People from Arab countries such as Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Libya have usually got dark hair and dark brown eyes. They have also got dark skin.

The northern Chinese are quite short, with thick black hair and dark, slanting eyes. They have got a small nose and a yellowish complexion.

Those who live in hot countries wear light clothes like shorts, T-shirts and slippers. People from northern countries such as Canada, Russia and Finland wear too much clothes in winter – coats, hats, scarves, winter boots and other warm things.

In my opinion character doesn't depend on appearance. So, a very beautiful girl can be angry, nervous person who hates everybody and everything. But an ugly plump person can be really nice and friendly. It can be a good friend, who can always help you. So I advice everybody not to judge people by their appearance.

As for me, I don't know what ideal people look like. Nobody is perfect, so we should love people for their character and good things, not by their appearance.

My name is Lisa. I’m fifteen years old and I’m a high school student. Each year we have school holidays and the longest one falls on summer. However, I like the New Year holidays most of all. They usually last for two weeks but we get to have lots of fun during this period of time. First of all, we celebrate the New Year and Christmas. These days are long awaited by many people in the world. Nearly for everyone the 1st of January is the start of new life. That’s why this holiday is celebrated so cheerfully. After the New Year day we visit all our relatives and friends to exchange presents. To those, who live in other countries, we write postcards or letters with greetings. On the 6th of January we celebrate Orthodox Christmas in Russia. My grandmother usually cooks sweet rice with dried fruits. It’s our traditional meal for Christmas. As it gets rather snowy outside we go sledding with friends. If there is time we also go to the nearest ice-rink to skate. Our teachers usually set some home work for holidays, so I try to find time for it as well. Most of all I like quiet evenings near the fireplace, when it snows outside and I can sit with an interesting book on a sofa and drink hot tea. Unfortunately, time flies quickly during the holidays so approximately on the 10th of January I have to go back to my daily routine again. In Russia we also celebrate the old style New Year, which falls on the 13th of January. This day is not as important as the 1st of January, but we still prepare festive meal and treats.
