People who drink and drive should never be allowed to drive again

I absolutely agree with it. I think that driving after drinking is completely irresponsible. It is dangerous for everybody who at that time is on the road. The most accidents on the road are caused by drunken drivers.
My reasons are:
1) I think the laws need to be stronger.
2) For people who drink alcohol beverages have to pay a large fine (штраф).
3) In my opinion people who drink and drive should lose their license for life.
Maybe so heavy punishment can change their minds find the exit of the problem of drunken drivers. Perhaps if the drunks who choose to drive risked losing their cars and licenses for life, they would think twice before getting in the car. Imagine, if a driver who drink an alcohol crash into another car, and inside there was someone who hadn't been drunk driving, he can kill this person, because of the stupid decision. In my opinion we should remember that to get into the car while drunk is risky to not only for our life, but for the life of other people.

The letter

Dear future Dima
Here I am in 2013 and there you are in 2020. I’m writing to see how you are doing and because you might appreciate a friendly message from the past.
These are the things I expect you’ll be doing. You’ll probably be working in your family’s business; you might even be managing one of family shops yourself by then. I hope very much you’ll be enjoying the work but I also hope you went into business because you wanted to and not because you were expected to.
Maybe your life will have turned out quite differently. You could have gone in Shanghai and worked in that logistic company you were always talking about with your friend John and maybe you’ll have made millions dollars contracts and will be the rich president of the company. Yeah, I like the sound of that! But somehow, I doubt it.
Here’s some advice and good wishes from ‘present me’ I hope by now you will have quit smoking. You need to study hard if you want to be an intelligent person and you have to work all hours of the day and night in order to make money now! Remember to keep in touch with your family and friends so as to have people around you who know what you’re really like. Let’s phone up one of them now!!!
Well my dear friend, I wish you had done a lot of good things for other people!!!
Look after yourself and love every moment of your life!!!
Dima

The best age 20

The best thing about being 20 is living anywhere you want. To be honest, I prefer going out and enjoying myself. I’m happy because I managed to pass my summer set of exams, though it wasn’t easy. I feel the world is my oyster. I have many dreams and I strongly believe I can achieve anything I want. Another good thing for me is that I don’t look my age, I still look quite young for my age, and girls think I’m immature but it’s not so. I reckon that there’s plenty of time ahead of me, time for trying out lots of things to see and do which I enjoy and develop lots of general skills.
But there are some things that I’m worried about. It is my future career and my future family. I don’t think of myself as ready for getting married. To put it bluntly, I don’t think about it at all, I’m too young. I reckon I need time to know myself, and to understand my life well enough, and be able to create an unhealthy environment for the child.

One of my best memories.

My best story
One of my best memories is when I tried to find a language course in China.
It started as a classic summer day; on that day I waiting for my car to be washed in the Car Service Centre with my lap-top. There was a man in smart clothes sitting nearby me. He looked at the screen of my computer and asked me why I’m going to study in China. I was at my best at that day and started to buddy up with him. I told him about my university and language experience. After that he gave me his telephone number for no reason and said: Call me tomorrow, I think I can help you!
On the next day I called him and he said cheerfully: If you want to work in China. I can help you. I was feeling worried and shy but I said: Yes, and he gave me another telephone number. It was a telephone number of a big Russian company which is engaged in atomic industry.
I was surprised to learn that he was a President of that company!

History of my mother's side family

My great grandfather.

I want to tell about my mother’s side family story. My grandmother often tells me about our family. Exactly she loves to tell me about my great-grandfather. I think he was a very adventurous, stubborn and down-to-earth person.  His name is Abdulla, he was from Tajikistan. He was the first secretary of CK KP of Tajikistan and lived in Dushanbe but his family lived in Hudzhant (Leninabad). 

My great grandfather

After the Plenary meeting of the Central Committee of the CPSU he was convicted and stripped him of his titles. The government recognized him a political prisoner. He went separate ways with his family and went to Magadan.

My great grandparents and my granny.

 Then he met my great grandmother, her name is Nina. She was a nurse and he was jobless. So they fell in love. Less than a year later they got married. 

After World War 2 his acquaintance and government colleagues helped him and his new family to return to Tajikistan. 

Abdulla and his colleague Tursunbai.

There my grandmother Mavluda (Ludmila) was born. She has two sisters Zuhra and Halima. 

Zuhra (Zoi), Halima and Mavluda (Ludmila).

Abdulla started to work in government again but our family lived in Russia. For a long time he provided for his family from Tajikistan but when Halima went to study ballet dance in Moscow, my great grandfather decided to live in Russia.   

Zoi, Halima, my grandmother Ludmila.
my mother my aunts and my great grandmother.

He died in Moscow but was buried in Dushanbe . Nowadays there are two streets and avenue in Dushanbe, Hudzhant named after my great grandfather.

So I have an extended family because I have a lot of aunts, uncles and cousins.

Flashbacks of a fool (A friend in need is a friend indeed)

Good friends are one of the most important things you will have in your life. A person without a good friend is like a person with only one foot. You could still manage to walk, but finding your way along the road of life without the support of good friends, would be much harder to accomplish. Who would prefer living without a few good friends anyway. The world would be such a lonely place to live in. When you're a stranger in a town and feeling lonely, you might consider joining a club, or get a drink in a pub, that way you're bound to meet new people and who knows....some of the people you meet may become your friends and one or two may become even good friends.

Good Friends are hard to find and keeping them is even harder. It takes commitment and a bit of devotion, trust and above all: the will to make it happen. Being good friends is not a one way road. It's the question of giving and taking, of live and let live, of solidarity. Being good friends is almost like a marriage - it's for better and for worse till death do us part.

Friends...

John, Regina, Ilya and I.

What about me, I have a lot of good friends but I’m not a good friend for my friends. After some problems in my life I studied to be along and enjoy it. Usually my friends say that I’m very close person because they don’t know where is I and how to find me? Sometimes I try keep in touch with my friends but very soon it become difficult for me.I have tree close friends. It is John, Regina his girlfriend and Ilya. I've known them for a long time. It is about 11 years. I'm amazed we got on so well, because we haven't much in common. We had ups and downs and fell out a couple of times but now everything is alright. They always know how to find me and what the problem I have.  In conclusion I want to say that I love my close friends and if they have problems I always help them. 

New technologies

We are the modern generation and we live in amazing world. People invent a lot of technologies and improve it every day. I want to tell about some new gadgets that help us in education and work. It is netbooks, notebooks, pocketbooks, mobile phones, and other interesting things that help us to save our time. Today anyone can find a lot and very different information and safe a lot of time when we use internet. Internet is another life where we can study, work, enjoy…..

1. Probably the most important gadget is cell phone that help us to keep in touch with other people. New mobile telephones are very modern have a lot of utilities. There are dictionaries, calculator, and instant access to internet. Modern phones have the ability of editing document. And store and organize a lot of information. But a lot of teachers don’t like when students use it because students can cheat. Nothing is more disruptive during a lesson than the sound of a mobile phone ringing.

2.  Pocketbook provides the ability of more comfortable web browsing.  It is good for student to write and save a lot of new information. You don’t need to carry round lots of things for studying.  You can upload there everything that you need. For example books, maps, projects and other.

3.  Notebooks are very important thing for studying. People nowadays have and use computers everywhere.  All students should have computers because it helps us to keep in touch via internet. It is a necessary thing for work and study. Computer software is quickly outdated but every day we invent new programs. Modern computers are used to do everything we need. But very important is to store large amounts of information. Sometimes we put it on circuits.

4. Micro earphones. Lots of modern students is using it to cheat. They find another person who tells them all the information. Teachers believe them but it isn’t good for student because they become a generation of couch potatoes.

5. Dictaphones are used to save speech, lecture or another sort of information that we hear every day. But it is not very necessary thing because all modern phones have this utility.

6. Nowadays a lot of people use web cameras  meeting other people via the internet. Sometimes for an education, sometimes for talking. Modern mobile phones have web cameras too.

Everyday our life changes and improves.
