The letter to a politician.

Dear Sir/Madam,

     I am writing to inform you that on Saturday 22 February is going to be organised a demonstration on favor of a new community center. This initiative is developed to encourage people to leave their homes and spend their leisure time actively.

In my opinion the opening of this kind of center is extremely useful for our small town. Here we could make some educational events, creative exhibitions of growing talents or some social discussions on different themes. Though our town is not so large, people should know that we have some smart talented persons to be proud of too. Also we want make people of our town move forward and discover new interesting things.

We would like to invite you to join and support us in this demonstration. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,
Valeria Pakk

Report.

Introduction
The aim of my report is to analyze the results of the survey, which was carried out among students of Aru Secondary school. The survey shows what kind of book do pupils of these school prefer. According to results it should be decided what kind and what amount of books school has to acquire.

Girls
At first, the most popular genres among female students are romantic and historical novels. Majority chose romantic novels as their favorite genre and historical novels are a little less popular. They were chosen by 28% of respondent girls. 21% of female students are interested in reading thrillers. And, unfortunately, the least popular is poetry. Only 17% consider it as a favorite genre.

Boys
However, the survey shows that male and female students interests are different. The most popular genre among boys is thriller. This is shown by the fact that 51% chose it as their favorite. Historical novels are also popular almost as popular as among girls. Boys are much less interested in romantic novels than girls are. About 11% questioned boys prefer it. And the least popular such as among female students is poetry. Only 9% of boys are interested in reading it.

Conclusion
To sum up, I would say that a popular genre of literature among all the Aru Secondary school students is historical novel. Based on the survey I would basically recommend to purchase mostly historical novels and thrillers, but still not to ignore other genres, survey shows that some students are still interested in them too.

Sophie Milman.

I would like to talk about Sophie Milman. She is an extremely talented young jazz vocalist that conquers hearts of  fans by her mesmerizing, gentle voice and various repertoire.

I suppose that she earns such success not only because of her amazing vocal abilities, she is also interesting as a person. I would say that she is not famous like for example Christina Aguilera or Mariah Carey and she does not have so many awards as they do, but she still has something to teach and not only as a professional.

Her family was forced to move a lot for some reason. Sophie was born in Ufa, but at the age of 6 she had to come through serious culture chock after immigration to Israel. She became successful there, but soon she had to immigrate again. This time into Canada. I admire this person, because she is never scared to start over and over again. Her biography and creation taught me not to be afraid of changes and try to overcome everything that life offers with maximum benefits for myself. She is also important for me because I have been studying vocal for two years and she is an idol for me not only as a person, but as a musician too.

To conclude I would say that Sophie Milman is a strong and talented woman that deserves respect of her audience and acceptance that she earned.
