Excursion to the Museum of Art, organized in the autumn vacation with our class teacher, personally was very useful for me. I learned a lot of new, interesting, and received great pleasure from communication with the beautiful. Before, I just never thought about the fact that the works created by artists, musicians, architects, too, as well as historical events can be a wonderful chronicle of the past and present of mankind, his thoughts, hopes, struggle for their future. How little I still know! After all, in order to read this record based on the works of various art forms, it is necessary to know at least in general terms, the history of art, to understand his expressive means. I really want to get acquainted with the architectural styles and learn more about what a painting, drawing and sculpture.
ПЕРЕВОД
Экскурсия в художественный музей, организованная на осенних каникулах нашим классным руководителем, лично для меня оказалась очень полезной. Я узнал много нового, интересного и получил огромное удовольствие от общения с прекрасным.  Раньше я просто не задумывался над тем, что произведения, созданные художниками, музыкантами, архитекторами тоже, как и исторические события, могут быть замечательной летописью и настоящего человечества, его дум, надежд, борьбы за свое будущее. Как же мало я еще знаю! Ведь, для того чтобы читать эту летопись по произведениям различных видов искусства, нужно знать хотя бы в общих чертах историю искусства, разбираться в его выразительных средствах. Мне очень хочется познакомиться с архитектурными стилями и больше узнать о том, что такое живопись, графика и скульптура. 

Library is one of my favourite places. It’s a place where you can find lots of books on various subjects, magazines and sometimes old newspapers. If a library is well-stocked, it’s an asset to every school, college or university. Our school also has a library, but it’s not large. When I have free time, I often visit it and look for interesting books to read. All books are kept and arranged properly, so it’s not difficult to find what you need. Besides, the librarians are always there to help you. There are also some libraries in my neighbourhood. My favourite place is the library of Italian literature. I’m fond of Italian and I’ve been learning this language for several years. I know that attending this library is a good way to master my language skills. Apart from books in Italian, one can find other international literature in different languages, for example, in French or in English. The rooms of this library are light, spacious and well-equipped. Nowadays, there is also a possibility to read books in electronic format. In my opinion, it’s one of the best and most interesting libraries in our area. Whenever I come here, there are different exhibitions of books, pictures, photos. Sometimes, there are also lessons for the little ones, where they can hear a fairy-tale, draw a dragon or make a castle. I think that libraries are very important for people of any age. First of all, it’s the great means of education. Secondly, we can get lots of useful information there. And, finally, it just feels good to spend time in a place where nobody disturbs you when you’re reading. если нужен перевод могу скинуть
