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.

English.

Vera: No wonder. They are the shortest and yet the most difficult words in English.

Bob: I don't think all English people understand how they should use articles.

Vera: Neither do I. In many cases they are a complete mistery. Do you think one can realise the difference between the articles? Is it possible to learn how to use them?

Bob: I am not quite sure. Our teacher says it is. We should simply have more grammar drills.

Vera: Will they really help? And then they are so boring! Bob: Don't lose hope. Let's hope for the best.

its weather and climate are strongly influenced by the sea which surrounds the British Isles(Great Britain and Ireland).As the British Isles are many times smaller then other lands in the Northern Hemisphere,they are more influenced by the ocean than inland countries with similar latitude.The sea warms up and cools down more slowly than land,keeping winters relatively warm but also making the summer cooler.Also,the warm sea current called the Gulf Stream which starts in the Gulf of Mexico keeps the sea on the west side of Britain warmer-frosts are rare in these areas.The overall climate in the UK is called temperate maritime.This means that it is mild with temperatures not much lower than 0(градусов)С in winter and not much higher than 30(градусов)С in summer.It also means that it is damp and changeable.
