A Group To Study English (schedule at the first page)l

[Atefeh1]

MY SUMMERY:

A group of 240 men with five ships started their voyage from Spain on September 20, 1519 they had a mission from king of Spain to prove this theory that the men are able to sail around the world by sailing from west to east. Their chief was a man from Portugal named Magellan. After crossing the Atlantic Ocean they reached Brazil and then southern Argentina, there they stayed for the winter, in the spring they sailed again and discovered the Strait of Magellan which took him 38 days to sail through this strait into another ocean. Magellan called it Pacific Ocean because it looked very calm. They did not see any land for almost 100 days and ran out of food. When they arrived Philippine Islands Magellan was killed. He himself did not sail around the world. But some of his fellows did .Only one ship with thirty-one men returned to Spain. It took these men over two years to sail around the world. It proved that the world is round.

New words:

Well, the collapse of the Soviet Union was not ignorable. I don’t think anybody could say the Soviet Union was bound to collapse in the late eighties. Certainly we look at it now and it all seems very ordered and just destined to happen but I think the Soviet Union off course could if - could if could be around right now if it hadn’t bent for many of the polices were persuaded by the soviet union's last leader Mia gurfichalf. But if I have to point to some long term trends that influence the collapse of the soviet union taking as given that there was this person Gurbichalf and that he put in place the number of polices. Basically, the Soviet Union collapsed because it couldn’t meet all the obligations it had required I mean the burden of empire for the soviet union was just becoming too much by the late eighty. And certainly, it couldn’t moral through who knows stand 50 years

[dourtarin]

Children’s lives these days are quite different from our

generations. Describe what the biggest changes are in younger generation and explain some factors of this phenomenon

Difference between generations seems get ordinary. The biggest changes in younger generation are getting much freedom, decreasing responsibility sense, getting new opinions and they don’t have time for their parents. I think these changes reason is one thing, world is changing very fast.
Children in these days get very much freedom. Freedom in any thing: in clothes type, books, friends and even their foods. Maybe somebody tell this is very good that they can choice their interesting things but in more time they don’t have good selection. They get their request in short time and without much effort. In result of they don’t have responsibility for their works. They get new opinion about every thing and they don’t accept our ideals in many situations. Children are very busy these days and they don’t want have common time with their parents and they say we don’t have shared point with them.
