MY BROTHER Alexander Petrov Most people have a brother or a sister. They love them very much. Below I will tell you about my brother Vladimir. He is 12 years old and he is studying at King Simeon School. When I am with him we are very happy, because we are always occupied with something. We usually play on our computer FIFA or NBA. When I studied at the same school, we were together almost all day long. But now when I am studying at the Professional technical High School, we are together only at night, after the lessons. I dont like this, but now when I finish school and go home, we enjoy ourselves together all the more. My brother is very nice. He will support me in difficult moments. Vladimir can cheer me up, when I am unhappy. I am very happy that I have a brother. But I am happier that it is Vladimir who is my brother. PERSON FOR DESCRIPTION Anton Morozov The person that Im going to describe is Oh no, I cant think of a person that can be described, so Ill describe Humlet me think Ah yes, but maybe it isnt a person, but if you dont agree with this, just e-mail me. The thing that I am going to describe is not exactly a person, it is my favorite animal. It is one of the most ferocious creatures but I like it because it is that kind of animals that I most like, they sometimes act like me or maybe think like me, and that is why I like them. It is the snake. The snake is a creature that has evolved since the extension of the dinosaurs. It has no legs but it is very quick and flexible. It has very good reflexes and it can strike his prey in milliseconds. It has sharp and long fangs and some types of snakes are very poisonous but some of them cannot harm human beings. The aggressiveness of the snake depends on the species, for example the Black Mamba is a very dangerous snake, and it kills everything that stands in its way. It is very poisonous and can kill a human in 20 minutes if the person is not taken to hospital. Maybe the snake is a dangerous creature but it also has healing powers. From its venom people can make anti-venom that can cure humans after bites. Snakes have a very bad reputation, because people think that they cause only trouble but that is not true. They kill rats that can spread deadly diseases which can hurt people more than the snake. Ten thousand people are killed in Africa by a snake bite, but not because of the snake because of the sheep herders. They send their sheep in places where snakes often look for food and that is why there are so many people killed. Snakes should not be killed just because of the bad reputation, think about it, if they disappear the diseases will spread rapidly and more and more people will die because there are no snakes to kill the source. I think snakes deserve respect and they should be spared because the balance of nature will be broken and massive deaths will corrupt innocent people. So dont kill snakes, because maybe even the life of the world depends on them. This is not a description of a person but it can teach young people about important things that they should know.
