The rod and reproof give wisdom. But a child left to himself brings shame to the family

Розга и обличение дают мудрость. Но отрок, оставленный в небрежении, делает стыд семьи

I can not agree or disagree with this proverb. On the one hand the child really need to bring in austerity, to punish misdemeanors, if we consider the word left as suffered to follow his own will without restraint and chastening the child left unattended really may later bring shame to the family. But on the other hand some people try to educate their children in the way not to punish them, children learned from their mistakes and understood their charges. But not everyone is able such education correctly. To achieve such a result is very difficult, and usually such children grow out of control persons who do not accept comments, believe that they can do all they want and they will not be punished and sometimes they can do some crime. Only experienced parents can properly implement such a method of education. And if you're not confident in your abilities, it is better to raise a child in the traditional way.

 

Many people have a close relationship with their pets. These people treat their dogs, cats, or other animals and members of their family. In your opinion, are such relationships good? Why or why not?

First of all, I want to say that in my opinion pets are very important for people. I believe that pets are part of the family and should be treated as such because animals foster emotional development and help people's mental health.

For families with growing children, pets can be part of the social support system and provide opportunities to educate children and it help them to become more responsible. For people in their later years, pet can become a real friend, because a lot of old people feel lonely.

Pets help people in difficult life situations, because they can feel your emotional situation and give you a lot of strength. A strong relationship to your pets can make your life just happier.

21. In the modern world people of different nationalities often come into contact with each other. But all of them have different characters. The English are a people that cannot be rushed. As a rule they don’t allow others to impose on them their views, ideas or opinions. The English believe in themselves. They have not got the inferiority complex and are indifferent to what other people think of them. That is why they run themselves down, treat themselves with a sense of humour and dislike boasting.

The Americans, on the contrary, take pride in their achievements want others to admire them, to approve of them. They are cheerful, easy-going, keep on smiling no matter what challenges they face up to. The American character is optimistic and ambitious. The Americans are fond of great schemes, big sizes, open spaces, high speed, innovations and changes. They are quick on the uptake, pragmatic and efficient. They are apt to change their occupations, jobs and places of residence. They are on the move to avoid getting into the rut.

Unlike the Americans, the Ukrainians are not given to sudden changes in their social, professional and personal lives. They value stability, continuity and predictability. The Ukrainians are inclined to stick to what they have to got for fear of losing the little they have. Their character is inflexible, and dogmatic, softened by a saving sense of humour and good-natured friendliness. It takes much persuasion to make Ukrainians adopt new notions, ideas, innovative methods and reforms.

The category of aspect

In general the category of aspect shows the way or manner in which an action is performed, that is whether the action is perfective (совершенное), imperfective (несовершенное), momentary (мгновенное, однократное), iterative (многократное, повторяющееся), inchoative (зачинательное), durative (продолженное, длительное), etc.

In English the category of aspect is constituted by the opposition of the continuous aspect and the common aspect.

The opposition the continuous aspect <——> the common aspect is actualized in the following contrasting pairs of forms:

Continuous	Common
is speaking	speaks
was speaking	spoke
will be speaking	will speak
has been speaking	has spoken

The forms in the left-hand column (whether taken in context, or treated by themselves) have a definite meaning: they describe an action as a concrete process going on continuously at a definite moment of time, or characteristic of a definite period of time (hence its name – the continuous aspect). The forms in the right-hand column, if treated by themselves, are devoid of any specific aspectual meaning. They denote the action as such, in a most general way, and can acquire a definite and more specified aspective meaning due to the lexical meaning of the verb and specific elements of the context in which they are used. Thus, for example, the verb form sang, when regarded out of context, has no specific aspectual characteristics, conveying only the idea of the action of singing with reference to the past. However when the same form is used in the context, it acquires the aspectual meaning conferred on it by that context. Compare the following sentences:

When he was young he sang beautifully (пел = умел петь).

He went over to the piano and sang two folk-songs (спел).

He went over to the piano and sang (запел).

While everybody was busy lighting a camp fire, he sang folk-songs (пел).

The fact that these forms may express different aspectual meanings according to the context, accounts for the term – the common aspect.

Whereas all verbs can be used in the common aspect, there are certain restrictions as to the use of the continuous aspect. Some verbs do not usually have the forms of the continuous aspect. They are referred to as statal verbs. The most common of them are the following:

Relational verbs have, be and some link verbs:

become, remain, appear, seem, sound.

However, both to be and to have can be used in the continuous aspect forms where to be has the meaning to act and to have has a meaning other than to possess.

She is so foolish!

I have three brothers.

She is being so foolish (acting foolishly) today.

I am having dinner (am dining) now.

Other verbs having the same meaning of relation are not used in the continuous aspect forms:

to apply to to belong to to compare (to) to concern to contain to cost to depend on to deserve to differ from

to exist to hold to interest to matter to measure to own to possess to remember to stand for to weigh

Verbs expressing sense perception, that is involuntary reactions of the senses:

to feel (чувствовать),

to hear (слышать),

to see (видеть),

to smell (чувствовать запах),

to taste (чувствовать вкус).

However these verbs as well as other statal verbs may be sometimes used in continuous and perfect continuous forms, especially in informal English.

Verbs expressing emotional state:

to care, to detest, to envy, to fear, to hate, to hope, to like, to love, to prefer, to want, to wish.

Verbs expressing mental state:

to assume, to believe, to consider, to doubt, to expect, to find, to forget, to imagine, to know, to mean, to mind, to notice, to perceive, to remember, to suggest, to suppose, to think, to understand.

Note:

Care should be taken to distinguish between some of these verbs denoting a mental state proper and the same verbs used in other meanings. In the latter case continuous aspect forms also occur.

I am forgetting things more and more now (beginning to forget).

She is understanding grammar better now (beginning to understand).

Moreover, the verbs can occur in the continuous aspect when the ideas they denote are to be emphasized:

Don’t shout, I ‘am hearing you perfectly well!

Why are you staring into the darkness? What are you seeing there?

Are you still remaining my friend.

You see, she’ s knowing too much.

They don’t know that inside I know what they’re like, and that all the time I ’m hating them.
