My mum volunteers for help the aged on snturdays. she ooks after the elderly people at the local nursing home. sometimes my mum asks me to help her. i help by getting the patients the things they need or by reading books to them. it's great when i walk in the room and they smile! supporting eld- erly people is also helping yourself. you learn about people's feelings and needs, and become a more caring person. we'll be old some day and will need people to care for us. showing sym- pathy' to other people is really good. i enjoy doing something that helps others. i don't get money. but i feel good when i know that i make a difference.

моя мама добровольно пожилым людям по . она просит пожилых людей в местном доме престарелых. иногда моя мама просит меня ей. я пациентам получить то, что им нужно, или читаю им книги. здорово, когда я хожу по комнате, а они улыбаются! поддержка пожилых людей также самим себе. вы узнаете о чувствах и потребностях людей и станете более заботливым человеком. когда-нибудь мы станем старыми, и нам понадобятся люди, чтобы заботиться о нас. показывать сочувствие другим людям действительно хорошо. мне нравится делать то, что другим. я не получаю деньги. но я чувствую себя хорошо, когда знаю, что это важно.

немного подкорректировать нужно

1) did not we?

2) are not they? : )

christmas tragedy with happy end

christmas eve it’s a time when magical things happen.

i’d like to tell you a real story that happened last year on christmas eve.

that evening i together with a friend went to greet my grandparents who live not far from us. everything went very well, we were having fun, but finally were supposed to go home. we said good-bye to my grandparent and run home to have a party with my parents and their friends. as soon as i live on the 5-th floor, i never hesitate to use an elevator. i pressed the button, the elevator arrived, opened the door, we entered, pressed the necessary button, the door closed, and than we heard a strange sound that reminds sound of a dying light bulb, the light switched off and the elevator stopped.   all this happened 40 minutes before midnight. we were staying in that dark quiet box.

thanks god, i had my cellular phone with me, i called my parents, and they called the elevator repair company, but nobody answered there.

than my friend and i began to plead santa tearfully to do a miracle and let us out of the elevator. and i think that we asked him so earnestly to do a miracle, that that miracle happened: the light turned on and the door opened three minutes before midnight.

and we all had a really happy christmas.
