Cat trapped under decking for eight weeks сочинение
Обновлено: 03.07.2024
The last weekend was pretty ordinary. I could sleep as long as I wanted in the morning. There was no hurry.
On Saturday, I went for a walk to the park with my friend. On Sunday, I went to the shopping center with my parents. I had time to watch cartoons and play my favorite games on my tablet.
I did my homework and cleaned my room.
Although there were no special events, I had a good time.
Последние выходные были довольно обычными. Утром я мог спать сколько хотел. Не было никакой спешки.
В субботу я гулял в парке со своим другом. В воскресенье я ходил с родителями в торговый центр. У меня было время посмотреть мультфильмы и поиграть в мои любимые игры на планшете.
Я сделал домашнее задание и убрался в своей комнате.
Хотя никаких особенных событий не было, но я хорошо отдохнул.
Вариант 2 (Как я провожу выходные)
I love weekends. I can do what I like best on weekends. And I can spend more time with my friends and family.
I usually go to the swimming pool on Saturday. After lunch, I go for a walk with my friend, if the weather is good. Sometimes I invite friends to my place, sometimes they invite me.
In the evening, I draw, read or watch TV. I also like to play video games. Sometimes my parents and I play board games.
On Sunday, we often go to the shopping center. We buy food and other necessary things.
Sometimes we go to the cinema, to the theater or somewhere else.
Я люблю выходные. В выходные я могу заниматься тем, что мне нравятся. И я могу проводить больше времени с друзьями и с семьей.
Обычно в субботу я хожу в бассейн. После обеда я гуляю с подругой, если погода хорошая. Иногда я приглашаю друзей в гости, иногда они приглашают меня.
Вечером я рисую, читаю или смотрю телевизор. Еще мне нравится играть в видеоигры. Иногда мы с родителями играем в настольные игры.
В воскресенье мы часто ездим в торговый центр. Мы покупаем продукты и другие нужные вещи.
До недавнего времени ученые считали, что сон-это простое состояние покоя, но это совсем не так! Когда мы спим, температура нашего тела падает, частота сердечных сокращений и другие функции организма замедляются, но наш мозг остается очень активным.
Существует четыре различных этапа сна, которые повторяются каждые 90-110 минут. Стадии N1 и N2-это поверхностный сон, и мы можем легко проснуться. На стадии N3 у нас более глубокий сон, и нам труднее проснуться. Некоторые люди также могут ходить во сне или разговаривать во сне. Последняя стадия-это быстрый сон. Наши глаза двигаются, наш мозг очень активен, и у нас много снов. Зачем нам нужен сон?
Пока мы спим, наш мозг сортирует информацию, заменяет химические вещества, восстанавливает клетки и решает проблемы. Недостаток сна серьезно влияет на наш разум и тело. Когда мы недостаточно отдыхаем, мы можем чувствовать себя раздраженными, забывчивыми и неспособными сосредоточиться. Недостаток сна также может повлиять на нашу иммунную систему. В течение длительного времени это может вызвать депрессию и изменения личности и в конечном итоге даже сократить нашу жизнь.
Для всех это по-разному. но в среднем младенцам требуется от 16 до 18 часов сна, подросткам-около 9, а взрослым-от 7 до 8.
Вы должны стараться каждый день ложиться спать и просыпаться в одно и то же время. Это помогает вашему организму привыкнуть к рутине. Избегайте таких напитков, как кола и кофе перед сном - они содержат кофеин, который не дает вам уснуть.
Не занимайтесь спортом и не смотрите фильмы ужасов непосредственно перед сном. Это слишком сильно разбудит ваше тело, и вам может быть трудно заснуть.
1 Сколько часов вы отводите на сон? Прочитайте вопросы в тексте. Знаете ли вы ответы на какие-либо из них? Послушайте и прочитайте, чтобы проверить.
Sleep is a necessary part of life. I usually sleep for eight hours, but during exams it can take only five hours to sleep. During sleep, our body rests, and the brain sorts information. There are four stages of sleep in total. (Сон - это необходимая часть жизни. Обычно я сплю восемь часов, но во время экзаменов на сон может уходить всего по пять часов. Во время сна наше тело отдыхает, а мозг сортирует информацию. Всего существует четыре этапа сна.)
I get ten hours of sleep at night. There are four different stages of sleep. We need sleep for our bodies to repair and grow. Different people need different amounts of sleep. (Я сплю по десять часов ночью. Существует четыре различных стадии сна. Нам нужен сон, чтобы наши тела восстанавливались и росли. Разным людям нужно разное количество сна.)
3 Расскажите классу три факта, которые вы помните из текста. Используйте слова из рамки "Просмотрите слова".
resting state (состояние покоя), drop (падать), heart rate (частота сердечных сокращений), bodily function (функция организма), stow down (замедляться), brain (мозг), active (активный), stage (стадия), light (поверхностный), deeply (глубоко), replace (заменить), repair (ремонтировать), cell (клетка), lack of (недостаток), affect (повлиять), grumpy (сварливый), forgetful (забывчивый), concentrate (сосредоточиться), immune system (иммунная система), depression (депрессия), shorten (укоротить), get into a routine (войти в рутину), caffeine (кофеин), keep you awake (сохранить в состоянии бодрствования), fall asleep (заснуть)
heart rate (n): the number of times a person's heart beats per minute (heart = organ in the chest that pumps blood round the body)
(частота сердечных сокращений (сущ.): количество ударов сердца человека в минуту (сердце = орган в грудной клетке, который перекачивает кровь по всему телу)
2 I feel tired and grumpy the next day when I haven't slept well. It makes my day more difficult. (Я чувствую усталость и раздражение на следующий день, когда плохо сплю. Это усложняет мой день.)
3 I avoid drinks with caffeine before bedtime. I will try to fall asleep and wake up at the same time every day from now on. (Я не пью напитки с кофеином перед сном. С этого момента я буду стараться засыпать и просыпаться в одно и то же время каждый день.)
We spend about 25 years of our life in a dream, and we dream for six years, that is, a quarter of the entire time.
Chronic lack of sleep (less than 6 hours a day) leads to hearing and vision disorders, increased anxiety, obsessive states and nervous tics, inability to concentrate, apathy and general weakness, metabolic disorders and rapid weight gain. Complete lack of sleep for several days leads to loss of self – identification, visual and auditory hallucinations and paranoid syndrome, and subsequently-to death.
Military researchers have found that if you get enough sleep in advance (for example, going to bed earlier in a few days), sleep deprivation will not be as severe.
If you sleep for 12 consecutive nights for only 6 hours, the state of your body will be the same as in the presence of 0.1% alcohol in the blood - illegible speech, balance disorder, memory impairment. In other words, it is a state of intoxication.
(Примерно 25 лет своей жизни мы проводим во сне, причём видим сны шесть лет, то есть четверть всего времени.
Хроническая нехватка сна (менее 6 часов в сутки) ведёт к расстройству слуха и зрения, повышению тревожности, навязчивым состояниям и нервным тикам, неспособности сосредоточиться, апатии и общей слабости, нарушению обмена веществ и быстрому набору веса. Полное отсутствие сна в течение нескольких суток приводит к потере самоидентификации, зрительным и слуховым галлюцинациям и параноидальному синдрому, а впоследствии – к смерти.
Военные исследователи обнаружили, что, если вы выспитесь заранее (например, ложась спать ранее в течение нескольких дней), лишение сна не будет таким тяжелым.
Если 12 ночей подряд вы будете спать всего по 6 часов, состояние вашего организма будет таким, как при наличии 0,1% алкоголя в крови - неразборчивая речь, нарушение равновесия, ухудшение памяти. Другими словами, это состояние опьянения.)
Sometimes you may wake up just as you are falling asleep, because your body jerks suddenly. This happens because as you relax into sleep, the brain thinks you are falling down and instructs your muscles to jump back up. If you can’t sleep, some people say, you should count sheep. The truth is that counting sheep or anything else will actually keep you awake.
You shouldn't eat just before going to bed. This is because your body is busy digesting food instead of winding down to sleep.
(Иногда вы можете проснуться как раз в тот момент, когда засыпаете, потому что ваше тело внезапно дергается. Это происходит потому, что, когда вы расслабляетесь во сне, мозг думает, что вы падаете, и приказывает вашим мышцам снова вскочить. Некоторые люди говорят, что если вы не можете спать, вам следует считать овец. Правда в том, что подсчет овец или что-то еще на самом деле не даст вам уснуть.
Вам не следует есть непосредственно перед тем, как лечь. Это происходит потому, что ваше тело занято перевариванием пищи вместо того, чтобы засыпать.
Until Quite recently, scientists ’believed that sleep was a simple, resting state, but it isn't like this at all! When we sleep, our body temperature drops, our heart rate and other bodily.
There are four different stages of sleep that repeat every 90 to 110 minutes. Stages N1 and N2 are light sleep and we can easily wake up. In stage N3. we sleep more deeply and it's harder to wake up. Some people may also sleepwalk or talk in their sleep. The last stage is REM* sleep. Our eyes move around.
While we sleep, our brain sorts through information, replaces chemicals, repairs cells, and solves problems. Lack of sleep seriously affects our mind and body. When we don't rest enough, we may feel grumpy, forgetful and unable to concentrate. Lack of sleep can also affect our immune system. Over a long time, it.
You should try to go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day. This helps your body to get into a routine. Avoid drinks like cola and coffee before bedtime -.
Don’t exercise or watch scary movies just before going to bed. This will wake your body up too much and you might.
1 How many hours of sleep do you get each night? Read the questions in the text. Do you know the answers to any of.

The Heliotrope is Germany’s first eco and energy-friendly house. Designed by architect Rolf Disch, this is the first PlusEnergy house in the world. The architect created this house as his private residence in 1994. This house produces more energy than it uses and the energy it produces is emissions free. The house rotates to track the sunlight and harness maximum energy of the sun in the form of heat and light.
If you wish to trouble your neighbours, the Skinny House is a nice idea. It was originally built as a Spite House – to upset the neighbours. Located in the North End of Boston, Massachusetts, this house is the narrowest house in the city. There is no clear evidence to support the reason of its construction. However, according to a legend, one of the neighbors built it to block the sunlight and air of another neighbour.
Nikolai Smirnov began building this ‘wooden skyscraper’ in Arkhangelsk with the intention of making it only a two-story building. But a trip to see wooden houses in Japan and Norway convinced him that he hadn’t used roof space efficiently enough, so he kept building. “First I added three floors but then the house looked strange, like a mushroom,” he said. “So I added another and it still didn’t look right so I kept going. Whatyouseetodayis a happyaccident.”
Polish businessman and philanthropist Daniel Czapiewski built The Upside Down House as a statement about the end of the world. The house stands on its roof while visitors walk on the ceilings. It took 114 days to build because the workers were so disoriented by the angles of the walls. It certainly attracts its fair share of tourists to the tiny village of Szymbark, who often become dizzy after just a few moments inside.
It seems a crazy idea, but it is a house. The Stone House is situated in the Fafemountains of Portugal. Sandwiched between two stones the house is said to have been inspired by the American “Flintstones” cartoon series. Although it may seem rustic, there are some amenities, which include a fireplace and a swimming pool – carved out of one of the large stones. Thehousedrawsmanytouristseveryyear.
The Hobbit House in Wales sure makes for some delightful photographs! It’s not surprising since a photographer is responsible for creating this house. With some help from his father-in-law, he was able to build this house using all natural materials and only $5,200. His goal was to create a living space that resembled houses from the fantasy novel “Lord of the Rings”, and within
4 months the dream was a reality.
Berlin-based architect Van Bo Le-Mentzel has created “One Square Metre House” – probably the smallest house in the world. It’s a wooden structure, which uses only one square meter of space and can be used as a dwelling place, mobile kiosk or even an extra room inside your apartment. Because of the flipping mechanism, it can be used both vertically or horizontally. It consists of a wooden frame, slide window and a lockable door.

Start of college life: how I coped with fear
For the last two years I’ve been working really hard to pass all my exams successfully and to get accepted to college. And yet college seemed to be the scariest thing that I could think of. Whenever I thought about it, my stomach would immediately begin to spin in circles. Although I was ready to go off and be by myself and meet new people, I was scared to death at the same time. I pictured hard classes that I wouldn’t be able to keep up with, people that wouldn’t like me, long hikes to get to my classes, and horrible food. I couldn’t imagine leaving the security of my own room, my own stuff where I want it, my friends that I’ve spent practically my whole life with, my family who put up with all my little quirks.
Everyone else that I talked to, however, didn’t seem to have this problem. They all were thrilled at the thought of being on their own and not having to worry about their parents telling them what to do or not to do all the time. And, sure, the thought was extremely exciting to me as well, but how would I survive without my family and friends and the things that had taken me eighteen years to get used to?
The summer before I came to college was probably the most fun my friends and I ever had. We all knew that in September things would never be the same again and we had to make the most of it while we still could. As the end of August rolled around we knew that it was time to say goodbye and be on our way to our own independence. I packed up the memories of the last eighteen years of my life into about five suitcases and was ready to go. I still didn’t feel like I was just as mature as my older college friends and I thought that I still looked like I was twelve years old.
We finally made it to the doors and began unloading my clothes and the eight million bags of food that my mom had packed for me. I still was unsure about sharing my room and not being able to have the privacy that I had back home. I was worried that the little habits that I had might annoy my roommate and that my roommate might have just as many annoying little habits that I might not be able to handle as well.
After I had all my things unpacked and put exactly where I wanted, my roommate and I decided to go around our hall and see whom we would be living with for the next two semesters. As we went around to different rooms and met different people my nervousness seemed to diminish. I began to realize that not everyone here knew everyone else and most were just as anxious and nervous about being here as I was. It worked. I started to feel better and was actually kind of excited about living here all by myself.
I still miss the security of living at home (and I wonder who would blame me for this feeling) and, most of all, home-cooked meals that are nonexistent here and the friends that I grew up with. But I know that we’ve all changed and those memories are just that – memories, no matter how pleasant they might be. And when times get too tough, my mom is just a phone call away. But I’m not too quick to call her and have her solve my problems. I’ve learned that I can usually work things out by myself. I’m glad that I’ve gone through these changes in myself and it makes me realize that I don’t need to fear change, that it’s just a part of life that everyone has to go through sometime.
