A History of surfing The history of surfing 18. UNDOUBTLY goes back a long way. It seems to 19. HAVE FORMED a central part of the culture of the Polynesian people, who were inhabitants of islands in the Pacific Ocean such as Samoa, Tonga and Hawaii. These people 20. REGARDED surfing as a mere recreational activity. For them, it was much more of an art. Although surfing 21. APPEARED from many parts of Polynesia in the early twentieth century, a small number of people in Hawaii 22. KEPT the tradition alive. In 1912, it spread to the east coast of the United States, and in particular to Virginia Beach, which became an important surfing centre. Surfing developed quite 23. RAPIDLY from then on, and the design of surfboards became more sophisticated. However, it was not until the 1960s that surfing came 24.

Russian classic Alexander Pushkin world-renowned and revered worldwide poet and writer left, no doubt, a huge and rich legacy of us a gift. Poems, verses, stories, fairy tales – many great works gave people this talented magician and artist pen. There is no person who would not know the lines: "there stands a green oak...", "I remember a wonderful moment...", "frost and sun, day wonderful...", "dreams, Dreams, where is your sweetness?" — all of them known to each and everyone with joy and not without pleasure will procellarum these rhymed lines, which has become a national treasure.
For me Pushkin's work – is the embodiment of childhood, high school years. How often we'd heard magical stories of Tsar Saltan, the Golden Cockerel, the Dead Princess and the seven knights. How hard and diligently taught the poem "a Wonderful moment" and "I am a monument erected without hands", given to us at school! Pushkin for me the personification of Russian words and Russian poetry. In his work he conveyed the many facets of the broad Russian soul, the beauty of nature and the seasons. His work is rich with variety of images, feelings and thoughts, everyone can find something close in his lyrics or prose.
