Are there any traditions in your family that are handed down from one generation to another?
1)Yes, there are. Now I would like to tell you about customs and traditions in our family. We have several of them. First of all I’d like to tell about New Year. Every year we try to celebrate New Year in our grandparents’ house. Each of us prepares a little present for other members of the family. Usually we put them under the Christmas tree.
The next tradition is that we travel together every summer. Every year we choose a place for our trip. We like it because we can be together for several weeks and also we can make beautiful photos of each other. There are a lot of other traditions in our family, but they are not so interesting and important for us.
2)Yes, there are. We have some family traditions. We celebrate the birthdays of each member of the family, we also celebrate Easter, Christmas and New Year. All my relatives gather together at one big table. It’s also our family tradition to spend summer holidays in the country or go somewhere to the seaside, go fishing and cycling.

Giving gifts is a great way to show your friends that you care, but sometimes it can be difficult to find the perfect present. 1)Start generating ideas. Get out a piece of paper and start writing out ideas for your gift. Think about what your friend likes in terms of hobbies and interests. 2) Pick a gift that relates to their personality.3) Give them something they actually want. 4) Remember the person’s preferences. Think about things that they like or talk about, whether it’s music, movies, art or sports. Think about any skills, talents or hobbies they may have. Try to remember anything they've mentioned wanting in the past weeks, or anything they've had their eye on.

What can we do to cut carbon dioxide emissions from buildings?
We can block up draughts, switch off unnecessary lights and make sure cold and hot water taps are not left running. We should use energy efficient light bulbs. These are usually expensive to buy but consume less than half the energy of standard bulbs. Also, thermal solar panels are very efficient. They are capable of providing all the hot water you need.
What is considered to be an unnecessary waste of energy used in water purification?
We can install a ‘grey’ water recycling system. At present water used to flush the toilets is of the same drinkable quality that comes out of the taps. This is an unnecessary waste of energy used in water purification. A grey water recycling system cleans water that has been used for washing and sends it through the toilet system reducing the use of clean drinking water.
