Valentine by Carol Ann Duffy Not a red rose or a satin heart. I give you an onion. It is a moon wrapped in brown paper. It promises light like the careful undressing of love. Here. It will blind you with tears like a lover. It will make your reflection a wobbling photo of grief. I am trying to be truthful. Not a cute card or a kissogram. I give you an onion. Its fierce kiss will stay on your lips, possessive and faithful as we are, for as long as we are. Take it. Its platinum loops shrink to a wedding-ring, if you like. Lethal. Its scent will cling to your fingers, cling to your knife. Alexander Pushkin I loved you; and I probably still do... I loved you; and I probably still do, And for awhile the feeling may remain — But let my love no longer trouble you: I do not wish to cause you any pain. I loved you; and the hopelessness I knew The jealousy, the shyness — though in vain — Made up a love so tender and so true, As may God grant you to be loved again. She walks in Beauty, by Lord Byron. She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that's best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes: Thus mellow'd to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies. One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impair'd the nameless grace Which waves in every raven tress, Or softly lightens o'er her face; Where thoughts serenely sweet express How pure, how dear their dwelling-place. And on that cheek, and o'er that brow, So soft, so calm, yet eloquent, The smiles that win, the tints that glow, But tell of days in goodness spent, A mind at peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent!

My name is Ninel. it is very rare name. Usually if someone hear it for the first time they think it's a French name like a "Shanelle". But they are wrong this name has nothing to do with French. It is communist one. My grandmother was a active communist and also she's an Ukrainian. Therefore when my Dad was shocked by the premature birth of his daughter, he had no idea how named his first born child. Grandmom emideatly helped him by giving him the name which was close to hers one Nina is Ninel. My Dad said to my Mom :"I've got the wonderful name for our daughter, read Lenin backwords " Mom did not realize right away what did he mean, but a short time over she was a lite bit shoked of the idea that he had offered. Even if she was a little surprized of it she egreed with easy. Over that time everybody call me Ninel, but sometimes some of them do not remember it that's why they call me Nina. Very closed friends use it with a diminutive-hypocoristic suffix Ninelchonok. In past I hated my name becuase I belong to Asian , and it 's to long to describe to surprised people why my pearents named me with a Russain name. Now I am ready to answer shortly them.

My favorite season is summer. Because in the summer I celebrate my birthday and my son's birthday. In the summer I met my husband. We got married in the summer. I love summer because in summer I can see bright, fresh colors around me. I walk a lot in the summer. My dog ​​is also very fond of walking in the summer. I love summer because in summer there are very long bright days. I also love summer because in the folder next to my house near the ponds there is an open-air summer cinema in the summer. Movies in this cinema are free for everyone and you can bring your pets. On summer evenings I like to relax in summer cafes in the open air and watch the sunset. I also like to pick mushrooms and berries in the forest. In Russia, we call picking berries and mushrooms in the forest - a quiet hunt))). For me, summer is the best time of the year.

Да в детстве мы регулярно ссорились. У меня два брата, оба старше меня. В основном мои братья ссорились друг с другом. Сейчас мы ладим друг с другом лучше.
