How did all the planets get there? How is it only our planet has life? Will we ever travel to other planets? These are questions I often think about. I think our planet is the best. It looks so beautiful from space with its mixture of blue and green. The beautiful blue color of Earth comes from the oceans which cover 70 per cent of the planet. More than seven billion people live there. The other planets look too strange to me. Mercury is just a red, hot ball, pretty much the same as Mars. Mercury is very hot during the day and very cold at night. It is also the fastest planet in the Solar system. Saturn looks like a real planet. Its rings give it an extra-special look. It is 100 times the bigger of Earth. Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system. One of its volcanoes, Mat and Olympia’s Mons, is named after the Egyptian god of truth and justice. The fourth planet, Mars, is named for the Roman god of war. Until 1976 scientists believed there could be life on Mars. Neptune takes more than 160 years to go round the sun. Jupiter is the largest planet that we know of. It is a very stormy planet because it spins so fast. True or False

Animal ProtectionЗащита животныхA growing number of people think that animals are not to be exploited by people and they should have certain rights. Although, there are still some people, who believe that people have the rights to employ animals in order to satisfy their needs, for example, to use them for food or medical research.Возрастающее число людей считает, что животные не должны эксплуатироваться людьми, и они должны обладать определенными правами. Хотя, есть и такие люди, которые считают, что человек имеет право использовать животных для удовлетворения своих нужд, например, использовать их в пищу или для медицинских исследований.Opinions differ on this issue. Most humans think that they are more important on this planet, so to survive they conduct experiments on animals. In my opinion, it is wrong. Animals have appeared on this planet just as any other living creature, so they should be treated equally. They also have feelings and they can feel the pain just like people. Almost all animal are capable of loving. Irrespective of being a bird or a mammal, when animals are loved by people, they can return this love in many ways. Thus, it is unfair to ignore their importance.Существуют различные мнения по этому вопросу. Большинство людей думают, что они важнее всего на этой планете, поэтому, чтобы выжить, они проводят эксперименты на животных. На мой взгляд, это неправильно. Животные появились на этой планете так же, как и любые другие живые существа, поэтому они должны иметь равные права. Они также имеют чувства, они, как и люди ощущают боль. Почти все животные любить. Независимо от того, птица это или млекопитающее, когда люди любят животных, те возвращают эту любовь различными Поэтому, несправедливо игнорировать их значимость.The only difference between animals and human beings is that they cannot speak and express their feelings through words. When domesticated and treated properly, animals are of great help to people. There were times when carriages were pulled by horses, sheep herded by dogs.Единственное различие между животными и людьми в том, что они не могут говорить и выражать свои чувства с слов. Когда их приручают и относятся к ним должным образом, животные оказывают большую людям. Были времена, когда лошади тащили на себе тележки, собаки пасли овец.However, things have changed with the development of science and new technologies. Starting from the 20th century, animals are mostly regarded as the source of food and research. They are being tortured to save people from deathly diseases.Однако все изменилось с развитием науки и новых технологий. Начиная с 20-го века, животные в основном рассматриваются, как источник пищи и исследований. Их пытают, чтобы людей от смертельных заболеваний.Luckily, there are such organizations as World Society for the Protection of Animals, which try to protect the animals around the globe. Their main mission is exposing cruelty and pioneering sustainable methods to avoid animal suffering.
