Every summer in June, thousands of people visit the Pskov land. They come here to the village of Mikhailovskoye to the wonderful festival of poetry, to see the places where he lived and worked.
Pushkin is always alive for us, he is the man we all know and love, the greatest of poets. Generations come and go, but Pushkin still remains. We are all grateful to Pushkin for each line of his works. Pushkin is not only a great poet for us. He is the perfect man combining brilliant talent with civil courage. His name is associated with our love for the Motherland, and the best in our life.
Hundreds of new concepts, hundreds of new words have appeared in the language in the years that have passed since his death, but not a single word of his poetry has become obsolete. Everything written by Pushkin continues to live. It has not become something of the past, it does not need any corrections and hardly needs commentary. His feelings and his views still correspond to our own feelings and views.
We admire the great world of Pushkin's poetry as a whole, each of us finding some special lines for ourselves, lines showing his sympathy and respect for his people. The reader cannot imagine his inner world without him.
HealthЗдоровьеGood health is very important for every person. Moreover, there is nothing more important than health. Wise people even say: “Health is above wealth”, because if you don’t care of your health, you can’t study or work properly. Unfortunately, having perfect health is almost impossible nowadays. Due to highly polluted environment people suffer from many diseases. The best way to stay healthy is to do regular morning exercise, to eat healthy products, to sleep at least 8 hours a day and to quit bad habits. The good thing is that people are becoming more health-conscious. In my opinion, the number of smoking and alcohol drinking people is decreasing in our country. This is happening because people started to understand how dangerous these two bad habits are. Obesity is another health problem. People, who eat lots of fattening food and do almost no exercise, are often overweight. A healthy diet involves many fruit and vegetables, seafood and wholegrain products. Salt, sugar and fat should be avoided. Excessive dieting can be also dangerous. Some people refuse to eat meat and become vegetarian. However, doctors say that meat is an excellent source of good nutrition. To my mind, one of the best ways to stay healthy and fit is to go in for various sports. My favourite sport is swimming. I spend a lot of time in the swimming-pool. I think it revitalizes my body and gives me energy for the whole day. Other sports I enjoy are cross-country skiing and figure-skating. To stay healthy, it is also important to spend lots of time in the open air. It is especially useful to go for a walk before going to bed. Following these simple rules regularly is the only way to promote our health.Хорошее здоровье очень важно для каждого человека. Кроме того, нет ничего важнее, чем здоровье. Мудрые люди даже говорят: «Здоровье выше богатства", потому что, если вы не позаботитесь о своем здоровье, вы не сможете учиться или работать должным образом. К сожалению, наличие совершенного здоровья практически невозможно в настоящее время. В связи с высоким уровнем загрязнения окружающей среды люди страдают от многих заболеваний. Лучший оставаться здоровым, это регулярные физические упражнения по утрам, употребление здоровой пищи, сон не менее 8 часов в день и отказ от вредных привычек. Хорошо, что люди стали больше заботиться о своем здоровье. На мой взгляд, количество курящих и употребляющих алкоголь людей, снижается в нашей стране. Это происходит потому, что люди начали понимать, насколько опасны эти две вредные привычки. Ожирение является ещё одной проблемой для здоровья. Люди, которые едят много жирной еды и почти не делают физических упражнений, часто страдают от избыточного веса. Здоровая диета включает в себя много фруктов и овощей, морепродукты и цельнозерновые продукты. Соли, сахара и жира следует избегать. Чрезмерная диета может также быть опасной. Некоторые люди отказываются от мяса и становятся вегетарианцами. Однако врачи говорят, что мясо является прекрасным источником хорошего питания. На мой взгляд, одним из лучших оставаться здоровым и подтянутым является занятие различными видами спорта. Мой любимый вид спорта – плавание. Я провожу много времени в бассейне. Я думаю, что это оживить мое тело и заряжает энергией на весь день. Другие виды спорта, которые мне нравятся – это беговые лыжи и фигурное катание. Чтобы оставаться здоровым, важно также тратить много времени на свежем воздухе. Особенно полезно ходить на прогулку перед сном. Регулярное следование этим простым правилам является единственным поддержания нашего здоровья
