Learning a foreign language

Learning a foreign language is not an easy thing. It is a long process. Nowadays it is especially important to know foreign languages. There are many reasons for it. As for me, I learn English because it is a very popular language all over the world. It is also the language of computer technology. As I am going to become a programmer, I must know English. It is also very interesting to read English newspapers and magazines and understand films in English without translation.

Honor and Help Your Parents

Emily is a teenager and lives with her parents. She and her best friend, Kim, find out that their favorite band will give a concert in their town on Friday night. They really want to go, but they do not think their parents will let them.

Emily always asks her parents about the things that she wants to do, and they listen to what she has to say, so she decides to do the same thing this time. She explains that she wants to go to the concert with Kim, but her parents think that she is too young to go without an adult.

Emily tells Kim that she cannot go to the concert, but her friend’s answer is a real surprise to Emily. Kim tells her that she should just lie to her parents. “I asked my mom for permission to go and study with friends on Friday. But I will really go to the concert! She does not need to know,” Kim says.

Emily does not know what to say. She is always very honest with her parents, and they are fair in their decisions. Emily has never felt comfortable lying, and her parents always tell her that it is wrong.

“I really do not want to be dishonest with my parents,” Emily tells her friend.

“Oh, stop acting like a little kid! Everyone lies,” Kim replies.

But Emily is not so sure. She thinks that honesty is very important.

On Thursday, Kim invites Emily over to her house to watch a movie after school. When they get there, Kim and her mother get into a fight. Emily realizes that Kim lies to her mother all the time, and her mother does not trust her. Emily thinks this is terrible. She sits uncomfortably on the couch as Kim and her mother fight most of the afternoon.

As she sits there, Emily remembers that Kim always tells her how terrible her relationship with her mother is. Kim thinks her mother does not understand her, but Emily thinks maybe Kim’s mother is just tired of Kim being dishonest with her.

As she walks home, Emily decides she will not lie to her parents about the concert. There will be lots of concerts in the future, but these are the only parents she will ever have. She knows it is better to honor them and help them so that they can have a good relationship. Because her parents trust her, they let her do most of the things that she wants to do, and she really prefers it that way.

THE BOYS AND THE FROGS

Some Boys were playing one day at the edge of a pond in which lived a family of Frogs. The Boys amused themselves by throwing stones into the pond so as to make them skip on top of the water.

The stones were flying thick and fast and the Boys were enjoying themselves very much; but the poor Frogs in the pond were trembling with fear.

At last one of the Frogs, the oldest and bravest, put his head out of the water, and said, “Oh, please, dear children, stop your cruel play! Though it may be fun for you, it means death to us!”

Always stop to think whether your fun may not be the cause of another’s unhappiness.

Տղաները և գորտերը

Որոշ տղաներ մի օր խաղում էին լճակի եզրին, որտեղ ապրում էր գորտերի ընտանիքը: Տղաները զվարճնում էին ՝ քարեր գցելով լճակի մեջ, որպեսզի գորտերը ջրի երես դուրս գան:

Քարերը արագ -արագ  թռչում էին, իսկ տղաները հաճույք էին ստանում դրանից:

Բայց խեղճ գորտերը լճակի մեջ վախից դողում էին:

Վերջապես Գորտերից մեկը՝ ավագն ու ամենահամարձակը, գլուխը հանեց ջրից և ասաց.

— Օ՜, խնդրում եմ, սիրելի՛ երեխաներ, դադարեցրեք ձեր դաժան խաղը: Թեև դա հաճելի է ձեզ համար, բայց մեզ համար նշանակում է մահ:

Միշտ մի պահ մտածել, թե արդյո՞ք ձեր զվարճանքը ուրիշի դժբախտության պատճառ չի կարող լինել:
