     Marriage of parents of Lermontov of rich successor M. M. Arsenyeva (1795-1817) and army captain Yu. P. Lermontov (1773-1831) was unsuccessful. The early death of mother and quarrel of the father with grandmother E.A.Arsenyeva hard affected formation of the identity of the poet. Lermontov was brought up at the grandmother in Tarkhana's manor of the Penza province; I got an excellent house education (foreign languages, drawing, music). The romantic cult of the father and the corresponding treatment of the family conflict were reflected later in dramas Menschen und Leidenschaften ("People and passions", 1830), "The strange person" (1831). Are significant for Lermontov's formation and the legend about the legendary founder of his sort the Scottish poet Thomas Lermonte. Trips belong to strong impressions of the childhood to the Caucasus (1820, 1825). With 1827 Lermontov lives in Moscow. It is trained in the Moscow university noble board (September 1828 March, 1830), is later at the Moscow university (September 1830 June, 1832) on moral and political, then verbal office. Lermontov's early poetic attempts testify to hazardous and unsystematic reading preromantic and romantic literature: along with J. G. Byron and A.S. Pushkin for him F.Schiller, V. Hugo, K.N. Batyushkov, philosophical lyrics любомудров are important; in verses the mass of the borrowed lines (fragments) from compositions of the most different authors from M.V.Lomonosova to modern to it poets. Without thinking of itself the professional writer and without seeking to be printed, Lermontov keeps the undercover lyrical diary where strangers, sometimes contrast formulas serve as expression of the intimate truth about the great and not understood soul. Endured in E.A.Sushkova, N.F.Ivanova's 1830-32 hobbies, Century. And. Lopukhina become a material for the corresponding liriko-confessionary cycles where the eternal, tragic conflict is behind concrete circumstances. At the same time there is a work on romantic poems from frankly imitative "Circassians" (1828) to quite professional "Izmail-beya" and "Litvinki" (both 1832), testifying to assimilation of a genre (bayronovsko-Pushkin) canon by Lermontov (exclusiveness of the main character, composition "vershinnost" ", an innuendo" a plot, exotic or historical color). By the beginning of the 1830th the "main" heroes of poetic system of Lermontov, correlated to two different vital and creative strategy, with two treatments of own personality are found: the fallen spirit which consciously damned the world and has chosen the evil (the first edition of the poem "Demon", 1829), and innocent, pure soul the sufferer dreaming of freedom and natural harmony (the poem "Confession", 1831, been a poem "Mtsyri" prototype). Contrast of these treatments doesn't exclude the internal relationship providing an intense antitetichnost of characters of all main lermontovsky characters and complexity of an author's assessment.                                             2) подели на 18 и 14 так надо читать во втором на 18 и 41 и так всегда  

My Favourite Season Is Summer Моё любимое время года — лето

There are four seasons in a year: winter, spring, summer and autumn. All seasons are good in their own way. Winter, for example, is full of celebrations, presents and snow. Spring is the time of nature awakening and flower blooming. Autumn can be rainy and yet beautiful, full of multi-coloured leaves. В году есть четыре времени года: зима, весна, лето и осень. Все времена года по-своему хороши. Зима, например, полна праздников, подарков и снега. Весна – это время пробуждения природы и цветения цветов. Осень может быть дождливой, но всё, же красивой и полной разноцветных листьев.

However, my favourite season is summer. I choose summer not only because my birthday is in June, but also because it’s the time of holidays. Summer is the season when the sun shines brightly, the sky is rarely cloudy and the water in the sea becomes warm enough to swim. Even if it becomes too hot, you can always go for a walk in the shady woods. Однако моё любимое время года – это лето. Я выбираю лето, не только потому, что мой день рождения в июне, но и потому что это время каникул. Лето, это сезон, когда солнце ярко светит, небо редко хмурится, и вода в море становится достаточно тёплой, чтобы плавать. Даже если становится слишком жарко, всегда можно пойти на прогулку в тенистый лес.

I also like summer because there are many berries, fruit and vegetables, not to mention numerous flowers on the fields. Among them roses, dandelions, daisies, and other flowers. Sometimes the air in summer becomes stuffy, but occasional thunderstorms bring relief. After the thunderstorms the air becomes remarkably fresh and very often we can see the rainbow in the sky. Ещё я люблю лето из-за того, что появляется много ягод, фруктов и овощей, не говоря уже о многочисленных цветах на полях. Среди них, розы, одуванчики, ромашки и другие цветы. Иногда воздух становится душным, но случайные грозы приносят облегчение. После грозы воздух становится значительно свежее, и очень часто можно увидеть радугу в небе.

Summer is also the time when I and my family go on holiday to the seaside. It’s a wonderful time, when we can have a rest from the intense academic year and relax. I think all children love summer because of long school holidays and I’m no exception. I also enjoy my free time, playing with my friends, watching TV, and doing other fun activities. Nevertheless, I don’t forget to do some useful reading from time to time. Лето, это также сезон, когда мы с родителями уезжаем в отпуск на берег моря. Это замечательное время, когда можно отдохнуть от напряженного учебного года и расслабиться. Я думаю, что все дети любят лето из-за долгих школьных каникул, и я не исключение. Я также наслаждаюсь своим свободным временем, играю с друзьями, смотрю телевизор, и занимаюсь другими беззаботными делами. Несмотря на это, я не забываю читать полезные книжки, время от времени.
