The Environment and You

Some years ago the problem of Environment was widely discussed in the newspapers,radio and TV programmers in many countries of the world.Now we also have the same problem before us.

Why does this problem worry the people of the world?

The environment as it is known is all living and non-living things that surround us.They are animals and birds, woods and forests, air and water, land and atmosphere. All this may be called natural living conditions and resources.

National resources such as minerals, oil, wood lands and water are widely used for purposes of home industry and agriculture. As a result the wide use of national resources upsets the biological balance, pollutes air, water and soil. The people face the problem of the pollution of environment. Now it is becoming clear as never before that our environment needs strong protection from harmful actions in home industry and agriculture. Most people understand that it is necessary to fight pollution of the environment. We all should try to do our best in order to make air, forests and soil cleaner than before.

It concerns everyone who lives in our country. We know that the policy of our state in environment protection is to control air and water pollution but at the same time we think that it cannot be done without everyone's help.

The problem of Ecology

Many people are concerned about ecology today because it is of vital importance for humanity. Everybody is talking about pollution nowadays: land pollution, water pollution, air pollution. The things we eat, the places we live in and the air around us are made dirty and unhealthy by machines and factories. Pollution is the result of industrialization and it threatens everything living: plants, animals, people. It is dangerous for life.

Pollution deprives people of fresh air, clear water and healthy food. The examples are numerous: the waters of Aral Sea are polluted and it became much l pollution, les than some years ago, the Caspian Sea becomes smaller too, people from Semey suffer from radioactivity.

International cooperation of scientists in environmental protection has already begun its work. People demand to stop bomb testing and arms race. They want to protect heir future.

English around the world

Although there are about three thousand languages in the world, English is the most wide spread. It is the official language in many countries. It is also spoken as a second language in many parts of India and Africa.

English is the most widely used language in international business, science and foreign affairs. Some people say that English should be the environment language because it is the most widespread language in the world. They think that many problems may solved easier if everyone speaks English. So we can say English concerns everyone.

Learning English is becoming important for everyone because we live in real life and we should know what is going on around us in the world. The world is changing rapidly in many fields, of technology, business, science, education, arts and medicine. These changes will influence us sooner or later. Today the Republic of Kazakhstan is integrating into the world mutiny and the problem of learning English for the purpose of communication is especially important for us.

Christmas

On March 22^nd people from smaller villages come to bigger cities. Families get together to help one another on constructing a "yurts" which is the traditional Kazakh home. Since the Kazakhs were originally nomadic people they had homes that could be easily set up and moved from one place to another. These yurts are made of long curved pieces of wood that are tied together and make the skeleton for this round house. Large pieces of felt are placed over the wood and rugs are placed inside the yurt on the floor to keep warmth and protect from cold and rain.

If you enter a yurt on Nauryz you will see that it is decorated with beautiful Kazakh ornaments, rugs and blankets.

As a guest you will sit at long low table and eat such Kazakh dishes as "karta", "plov", "baursak" "besbarmak".

This meat is traditionally served with a sheep's head, which is set at the "place of honor" - the head of the table. An elder "aksakal" will usually have to task of cutting the sheep's head and saying words of blessing while giving each part of the head to a different person.
