Stick together there once were four bulls that lived in a field. they were only concerned about one thing. occasional1y a lion would creep around the field stalking them. the bulls were worried that the lion would kill them, and so they had a discussion about what they should do. one of the bulls suggested that they attack the lion and kill him. but the other bulls agreed that the lion was much stronger than anyone of them and was a much better fighter, as well. another bull suggested that they talk to the lion to see if he would leave them alone. but the other three bulls disagreed. the lion didn't care about their desires. he only wanted to eat them. finally, the third bull suggested that they work together to save themselves from the lion. he suggested that each time the lion came to the field, they should stand back to back. that way, anywhere the lion went, he would be met with heavy horns and a strong kick from the legs. all bulls agreed that this was a great plan. the next day, the lion came sauntering through the field. the bulls quickly got in their circle. no matter where the lion attacked, he was met with kicks and horns. the plan worked until one day the bulls got in a fight. they each went to a comer of the field. when the lion came to make his attack, he got each of the bulls without a struggle. 3. explain how the moral to this story fits. why were the bulls vulnerable to an attack from the lion? write 5-7 sentences.

My name is Nikita. I'm 13 years old and I'm a secondary school student. My native town is Voronezh. Every year in September we celebrate a special holiday - the City Day. It usually falls on the third Saturday of the month. The holiday commemorates the date of city foundation.

In my opinion Voronezh is a beautiful city of great importance for the country. Sometimes our History teacher lectures us about the history of the city. I know that it was founded in 1586 not far from the River Don. By the 17th century it was one of the most valuable trade centers of Russia. In the time of Peter the Great the city became famous as the cradle of the navy and merchant marine. The first remarkable event took place in 1860, when the monument to Peter I was established. At the end of the 19th century there were many new enterprises, plants, libraries, and theatres built in the city.

One of the main educational institutions of the country, the Voronezh State University, was founded in 1918. Hopefully, in the future I will be studying there at the biological faculty.

Today, our city is actively growing and developing. Surprisingly, the world’s first supersonic passenger aircraft Tu-144 was created here. Local citizens are fond of the City Day celebrations and I’m proud to be the part of it.

Every year, my family and I participate in various festive events on this day. In the afternoon we observe the cheerful processions and parades or hear the speech of municipal authorities. I especially like the evening part, which is followed by the concert, featuring popular artists, and massive fireworks.

THIS IS MY RIFLE, THERE ARE MANY LIKE IT BUT THIS ONE IS MINE. MY RIFLE IS MY BEST FRIEND. IT IS MY LIFE. I MUST MASTER IT AS I MASTER MY LIFE. WITHOUT ME IT IS USELESS, WITHOUT MY RIFLE I AM USELESS.

I WILL FIRE MY RIFLE TRUE, I MUST SHOOT STRAIGHTER THAN MY ENEMY WHO IS TRYING TO KILL ME, I MUST SHOOT HIM BEFORE HE SHOOTS ME….I WILL. MY RIFLE AND MYSELF KNOW WHAT COUNTS IN WAR IS NOT THE ROUNDS WE FIRE, THE NOISE OF OUR BURST, NOR THE SMOKE WE MAKE. WE KNOW THAT IT IS HITS THAT COUNT. WE WILL HIT…

MY RIFLE IS HUMAN, EVEN AS I, BECAUSE IT IS MY LIFE. THUS I WILL LEARN IT AS A BROTHER, LEARN ITS WEAKNESSES, ITS STRENGTHS, ITS PARTS, ITS ACCESSORIES, ITS SIGHTS AND ITS BARREL. I WILL EVER GUARD IT AGAINST THE RAVEGES OF WEATHER AND DAMAGE. I WILL KEEP MY RIFLE CLEAN AND READY, EVEN AS I AM CLEAN AND READY. WE WILL BECOME PART OF EACH OTHER. WE WILL…
