A. Over the centuries, nice has become a part of the traditions of many cultures. In some
societies, it is traditional to throw a handful of rice on newlywed couples, symbolizing the
wish for a large family and prosperity. In India, rice is traditionally the first food that bride
offers her new husband. It is typical for people to leave offerings of rice in Buddhist

again, reduce the heat. Let the rice cook for 15 to 20 minutes. The rice is ready when all the

families often eat rice with every meal. In these countries, rice is also used to make

Моя комната очень уютная и удобная. Она не особо просторная, но там есть все что мне надо. В ней не особо много мебели, только самые необходимые вещи. Для большего комфорта вся мебель встроенная. Моя кровать расположена в левом углу комнаты, а мой стол в правом углу. Помимо моей кровати в комнате также есть стильная лампа и удобный стул с плюшевыми животными на нем. Когда за окном идет дождь я включаю свою лампу, сажусь за стул и читаю интересные книги. Что насчет стола, так он содержит многочисленные ящики, в которых я могу хранить мои ручки, карандаши, маркеры, тетради, учебники, блокноты, дневники и тд. Также в комнате есть полки с учебниками. У меня есть большая коллекция книг на Русском и Английском языках. Также здесь висят плакаты с моими любимыми фразами/цитатами и музыкальными группами. Они создают особую атмосферу в моей комнате. Это комната, где я чувствую себя лучше. Когда мои друзья приходят ко мне, я приглашаю их ко мне в комнату. Это место подходит как для работы, так и для отдыха.
Я не понимаю, что вы имеете ввиду под "незнакомые слова".
