Culture corner

                                    My favorites

              In this text I would like to tell you about my favorite author, It is Ray Bradbury. His excellent stories produced great impression on me. Ray Douglas Bradbury (August 22, 1920 – June 5, 2012) was an American fantasy, science fiction, horror and mystery fiction author. Best known for his dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451 (1953) and for the science fiction and horror stories gathered together as The Martian Chronicles (1950) and The Illustrated Man (1951), Bradbury was one of the most celebrated 20th-century American genre writers. He wrote and consulted on many screenplays and television scripts, including Moby Dick and most notably, It Came from Outer Space, and many of his works have been adapted into comic books, television shows, and films. His fantasy it's something like a dream in real life, it cames when you read... Dream master ^-^ 
            Also in general I would like to tell you about culture and art. To know a lot about the culture and art you should to travel a lot. For example: John Thomson from Chicago, USA. He's 19 years old, and he was travelling around the world all last year. He learnt so mush about different cultures and he has some crazy experience, too. In the world there are many cultural places: opera, a musical, a ballet, a play, a pop or r rock concert, a classical music concert. For example: You should visit the concert Lady Gaga. Lady Gaga shows no sighn of slowing down. She writes songs, she sings and she dances, surprising audience with her unusual clothes. Her talent and hard work have made her a reigning icon of today's pop culture. Also, you should visit a Chinese opera. Opera has a long history in China. In ancient times, actors performed the operas on the streets on temporary stages with only hanging lanterns for lighting. It's funny to think that such grand art started out like that!
I really like to visit this places.

Manners, is it important?

                                Bad Manners

             Two days ago I was reading different people's blogs.  And I read a very interesting story , and now I have decided to write my opinion about it. In this blog, which I have read a boy, whose name is Liam writes about an upleasant situation in the cinema. He went out to the cinema with his friends to see a film he has wanted to see for ages. From the moment they sat down, a group of teenagers behind them didn't stop talking and laughing, and even chatting on their phones. Then he turned around and shouted at them. I think it is  really annoying . And what do you think about it?
Also one more story, from a man, who had  to travel on public transport every day. A few days ago, it was a boiling hot day and when his train pulled into the station and he saw the bodies pressed against the door, his heart sank. Then he found himself next to a man with a terrible body odour. Has this man never heard of a shower? When the writer got off the train , he took some huge deep breaths! He has never enjoyed the polluted air of the city so much.
And so people! YOU SHOULD THINK ABOUT OTHERS! And we mustn't suffer from your bad manners!

Etiquette in Russia, what are the rules?

                                           Etiquette

            When you travel a lot you have to know some rules of your behavior. I want to tell you part of Russian etiquette, because I know it better than other. So. firstly Russian people break all the stereotypes about our nation. We don't drink vodka a lot and haven't bears on the streets, we are very kind and friendly nation, in general. Also if you want to visit Russia, you have to know about our strange climate and about beautiful view.

• If you meet a friend on the street Russian and imprudently ask "How are you?", he stops, Take a deep breath  and would start the most detailed manner to enlighten you. It will list all of their ills and ailments of his wife; He tells what happened after he followed the advice of a doctor; you know how he feels at the moment; He will tell you what the school success of his son and the teacher said that the last parent meeting. Never, never ask a Russian, "How are you?", if you do not really want to know how was his work day and what he ate for breakfast today.
• Not bad in mind that in different cultures there is a difference in how close you need to be from the interlocutor and how often you are allowed to touch it during a call. For one experiment, Puerto Ricans, sitting at a restaurant table, touch each other 180 times per hour, the French - 110 British - never. Russian, unfortunately, no one had, but you can be sure that they are clearly somewhere between Puerto Ricans and the French.
•  Russian usually welcome guests with slippers in their hands, as a sign that they can feel "at your home" 

                 Of course each country has its own customs, but how interesting to learn the custom of other countries! I would love to read your comments where you can tell me your rules of behavior. Thank you for attention! 

Networking

                                 Oh... this computers...

Hello! I would like to tell you about Networks.

   We communicate on the Internet. And all people know about the best search engine in our world. It is Google. Do you know about The story of Google? It was the brainchild of Larry Page and Sergey Brin.They did  very hard work! they have thought through all the details. Google always have a very unusual design! It makes Google slpecial, not like the other! Also There we can find everything. There is different information about everything! And I think that it is really cool! I want to say thanks to those people, they gave us Google!
Almost all teenagers registered member in social networks.
We use Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Friendster or LinkedIn. And so, then we are part of a social network. Social networking sites allow us to see our social connections. We can see our friends through pictures and links in a user-friendly interface. Also there we can look up old friends, make new friends and share music, photos and videos with them! I think that it is fun and cool, but some people live in the internet. I think that it is bad! because our life is running out ... let's enjoy the reality!!!!!
Just imagine our world without the Internet! How do you imagine it? I can 't do it.
I think that internet it is a very useful and necessary thing to everyone! But let's not dwell on the Internet .. 

Social problems

                           What do you think about this?

           Hello everyone, I would like to tell you about "fair rights" in my opinion.

Firstly about street art: Art or Not? So, I  learned about Knitters, Graffiti man, Lego repairing, Gardeners. Easy way to tell you "Who is knitters?" is to tell that they try to brighten up the steel and concrete landskape with knitters creations, after the  first try people have found that it's useful and magnificent. "It's a Woolly World" said Magda Sayeg she started this crazy hobby. Also one more interesting thing it's graffiti, it just decorates our world but police thinks it's bad and could arrest art man.
           About strange professions. Ben Langdon, he is forencis scientist, one day someone asked him like "Can you tell us a little about the equipment and scientific methods you use?" Ben: "So, as well as ordinary microscopes, we use powerful electron microscopes. We also use ultraviolet light to see traces of evidence like tiny fibres and spectometers which identify chemicals." For me this job the most interesting, I guess.
           Okay, it was ordinary job, legal in general, what about guys who choose the way of crimes? In a some words about cybercrimes. How would you feel if your computer was hijacked and used nasty email to your friends, or if a virus destroyed all your data? Well, this happens more often than you might think. In fact, in the UK alone hundreds of thousands of private computers are hacked every year. The people behind  these attacks are called "crackers" or "hackers". Hackers are highly intelligent programmers who can easily break into computer system. So, in our world a huge number of things are not simple, something can be pretty good, something we should scared.

P.S. Have ou any idea about bad graffiti or not? Please write me in comment, i want to know your opinion. ^-^
