Global warming has become a serious problem in modern world. It is referred to potential changes in climate, which can lead to the rise of global temperature. This term has been presented by scientists. They work hard trying to solve the problem. Otherwise, global warming can produce really dangerous climatic changes apart from a rise in temperature. For example, over the past 100 years the average temperature rise was about 1 degree. One of the most important reasons of global warming is the air pollution. We need to become more attentive and caring to it if we want to save our planet. There are several ways to do it. At first, we should start saving natural resources, such as water, wood, land and air. It would be a good idea to recycle the things that we don’t use anymore. Cars should switch to electric refueling, while factories shouldn’t isolate carbonic gas. We should also reduce the use of different sprays and lacquer, which destroy the ozone layer.

На коньки я впервые встала, когда мне было 4 года. Кататься меня научил папа на городском катке. Уже тогда мне нравилось то, как быстро мчатся по льду люди в этой странной обуви с лезвием и я хотела научиться так же! Это оказалось несложно. И через полгода я уже бегала не хуже любой взрослой девушки. Через некоторое время родители увидели, что у меня хорошо получается, я постоянно хочу учиться еще и еще. Они записали меня на индивидуальные занятия с тренером, чтобы я научилась делать это еще более профессионально. С того времени началась моя любовь к катанию на коньках.

Перевод:

I first started skating when I was 4 years old. My dad taught me how to skate at the city skating rink. Even then, I liked the way people rush on the ice in these strange shoes with a blade, and I wanted to learn the same way! It turned out to be easy. And six months later, I was already running no worse than any adult girl. After a while, my parents saw that I was good at it, I constantly want to learn more and more. They signed me up for one-to-one lessons with a coach so that I could learn to do it even more professionally. From that time on, my love for ice skating began.
