First of all, I would buy shares in a bank or put money at interest. Secondly, I would open my company and do charity work. For example, I would open a shelter for homeless animals and care for us. Animals really need the help of people and I believe that this will be one of the best investments, since I like to do good deeds and help those in need. In principle, I would like to say that this is my childhood dream - to open my own shelter for homeless animals and help them. Thirdly, I would invest in my health and the health of my relatives, since now good medicine is expensive enough and it will be a very reasonable investment. Fourth, I should invest in my self-development and realization of my goals. For example, training in any courses or studying at a foreign school in another country, where I can practice and improve my skills daily. In the future, when I would improve my skills in a foreign language, I would like to travel around the world and visit various countries. Feel the atmosphere of every new place for me, of course try the traditional dishes of this country and visit the most popular and famous sights. I would also invest money and make a film about my travels and about my life. I think it would be interesting to see. I would show from and to, as it really is. And in general, making my film was my dream from childhood and I would be insanely glad if I realized it. On this I think I will finish .That's all. Специальный текст : Newspapers have always been an important information source for people. Their main goal is to inform us about current events, although it depends on a type of newspaper. Some newspapers simply entertain. Newspapers were especially valuable during the wars, when people couldn’t wait to know how their sons, husbands and other relatives were. They could always read in local newspapers about current situation at the battlefield and about those who have heroically died there. If their relative’s name wasn’t in a newspaper, then they were relieved. Nowadays newspapers have changed a lot. First of all, they are rarely black-andwhite, as they used to be. Modern newspapers are bright, attention grabbing and colourful. Secondly, the content isn’t only about politics. Of course, there are still lots of political news in the modern editions but this information is blended with some other entertaining content, such as current timetable at the nearest cinemas or theatres, some funny anecdotes, crosswords and lots of advertising. There are different types of the newspapers. Depending on your interests you can choose what you want to read about. For example, there are newspapers with only sport news and articles, there are others with only arts and cultural information, there are ones about financial and economic news in the world and many other types. Newspapers can also serve for educating, especially if you’re learning a foreign language. In that case, there is a wide choice of newspapers in English, French, Spanish and other languages. One of the most important problems in the world of newspapers is the decrease of their necessity. People have started reading more online, so there is no need in papered news anymore. Luckily, there are still lots of people who want to feel a real newspaper in their hands and to read it daily. Перевод : Газеты всегда являлись важным информационным источником для людей. Их основная цель – информировать нас о происходящих событиях, хотя это зависит от вида газеты. Некоторые газеты просто для развлечения. Газеты были особенно ценны во время войн, когда людям не терпелось узнать как их сыновья, мужья и другие родственники. Они могли всегда прочесть в местных газетах о текущих событиях на поле битвы и о тех, кто героически погиб там. Если имени их родственника там не было, тогда они успокаивались. Сегодняшние газеты очень изменились. Во-первых, они изредка чернобелые, какими были раньше. Современные газеты яркие, привлекающие внимание и красочные. Во-вторых, содержание не только про политику. Конечно же, в современных изданиях все ещё есть много политических новостей, но они смешаны с некоторым другим развлекательным содержанием, таким как расписание в ближайших кинотеатрах и театрах, несколько веселых кроссвордов, анекдоты и много рекламы. Есть различные виды газет. В зависимости от интересов, Вы можете выбирать, о чем читать. Например, есть газеты только со спортивными новостями и заметками, есть другие только с информацией об искусстве и культуре, есть те, которые о финансовых и экономических новостях в мире и многие другие виды. Газеты также могут служить для образования, особенно если Вы изучаете иностранный язык. В таком случае, существует широкий выбор газет на английском, французском, испанском и других языках. Одной из важнейших проблем в мире газет является спад необходимости в них. Люди стали читать больше онлайн, и поэтому нет больше надобности в бумажных новостях. К счастью, все ещё есть много людей, которые хотят ощущать настоящую газету в руках и читать ее ежедневно.
