Every January something exciting
happens in New Zealand. For two weeks,
hundreds of acrobats, comedians, dancers and musicians
from all round the world come to perform in one of the
country’s main cities. They mostly perform in the streets.
Why? Because this is The World Buskers Festival.
A busker is anyone who performs an act for free in the street. But
people only give what they think the act was worth. And buskers don’t expect
more than a few coins from each person. The World Buskers Festival is a great
opportunity to see some of the world’s best street performers. Visitors can watch
magic acts in the streets and in the main square they can laugh at top comedy acts. In
the park, they can see acrobats performing incredible feats high up in the trees!
At night, performances continue to take place in the city’s art galleries and theatres.
When the festival began in 1994, only a few buskers came to the city, and
crowds were small. For the most popular acts, visitors need to arrive
early to get a good view. One act that always draws a big crowd is
New Zealand’s Fuse Circus, a team of some of the country’s best
circus performers. Together, they put on an incredible acrobatic
show! Another top act is a young comedian called Sam Wills.
There are also big audiences for Maui, a group who
perform traditional Maori dances. With over 500 different
performances taking place around the city, any visitor to
this fantastic, free festival, is sure to find something
they like!

REVISION (Module 6)

approximately twenty years ago children wore strictly school uniform at school. but since the 1990s school uniform has been cancelled. children chose themselves a school dress. anyway, many schools nowadays have school uniform. is it good or had? this question has both advantages and disadvantages.

now, let`s consider positive aspects.

firstly, the school uniform has strictness which make children study at school more seriously.

further more, school uniform makes children more disciplined.

more than that it isn`t very expensive. and every family can afford to buy it.

more over, school uniform removes social inequality because both rich and poor children wear the same clothes.

further more, there is no such a question what to put on in the morning. now, let`s pay our attention, to same negative aspects.

school uniform prevents children to be individuality. all are a like. one more, every day one and the same clothes.

by the end of the school year it becomes untidy and not pleasant to look at.

all in all school uniform has advantages and disadvantages, but as for me personally i vote for the school uniform because i presume it convenient for pupils.

примерно двадцать лет назад дети носили строго школьную форму в школе. но с 1990-х годов школьная форма была отменена. дети выбрали себе школьное платье. во всяком случае, во многих школах сейчас есть школьная форма. хорошо это или было? этот вопрос имеет как преимущества, так и недостатки.теперь, давайте рассмотрим положительные аспекты.во-первых, школьная форма имеет строгость, которые делают обучение детей в школе более серьезно.более того, школьная форма делает детей более дисциплинированными.более, что это не дорого. и каждая семья может позволить себе купить его.более того, школьная форма устраняет социальное неравенство, потому что и богатые, и бедные дети носят одинаковую одежду.более того, нет такого вопроса, что надеть утром. теперь, давайте обратим наше внимание, к тому же негативные аспекты.школьная форма мешает детям быть индивидуальность. все они, как. еще один, каждый день на одну и ту же одежду.к концу учебного года он становится неопрятным и не приятно смотреть.все школьная форма имеет свои преимущества и недостатки, но как по мне лично я голосую за школьную форму, потому что я предполагаю, что это удобно для учеников
