Art plays an important role in the life of a man and sometimes it is next to impossible to live without it. It is natural that the first thing that comes to my mind at the mention of the word ‘art’ is museums.
A museum is a stock of the world’s masterpieces, it is the place, where you can enrich knowledge, you can look at the achievements of mankind, you can satisfy your aesthetic taste. Museums give the possibility to be always in touch with the past and every time find out something new for yourself. Besides, museums play an important role in the life of any nation. A museum is just the right place to find out lots of interesting things about history, traditions and habitsof different people. One may find in museums papers, photos, books, scripts, works of art, personal things of famous people etc. All this helps us to better understand historical events, scientific discoveries, character of well-known personalities. Visiting the museums has a lot of advantages, benefits: They are a great learning experience – we can find out a lot of things and better understand them. They help us to appreciate all of the wonderful and sometimes not-so-wonderful qualities of humans. It is so important to never forget the mistakes we humans have made in the past. Nobody wants to repeat what has already happened.
I think museums somehow reflect the inner world of personality, his outlook. Every educated person is sure to understand the great significance of museums in our life, especially nowadays, when after the hard day you may go to your favourite museum, relax there with your body and soul.
I am a regular museum-goer. In fact I visited no less than 20 museums. Among them: the Louver, the National Gallery, the Shakespeare House in Stratford-on Avon, the Oxford story exhibition, Museum of Reading, Madam Tussaud’s Exhibition ,the Tretyakov Gallery and others. We can hardly find a town in our country without its «Fine Arts» Museum.

THE VERB (Дієслово)
· Дієслово – це повнозначна самостійна частина мови, яка означає дію, стан, процес.
· В англійській мові є 4 групи часових форм дієслова: Indefinite tenses (неозначені часи), Continuous tenses (тривалі часи), Perfect tenses (перфектні або доконані часи) та Perfect Continuous tenses (перфектно-доконані часи). У кожній групі є теперішній (Present), минулий (Past) та майбутній (Future) часи.
· В англійській мові дієслова в неозначеній формі вживаються з часточкою to: to go, to read, to think. I like to read books. – Я люблю читати книжки. Українською мовою неозначена форма дієслова (інфінітив) відповідає на питання «що робити». Дієслова не вживаються з часточкою to, коли 1. дієслово в реченні йде одразу після іменника-підмета: I go home. She does her homework. 2. після модальних дієслів (can, may, must, have to, shall, will): I can do it. They must go to this theatre. 3. після дієслів to make та to let: Let me introduce myself. Our teachers make us learn this topic. 4.після виразів would rather, had better(краще б): I’d better go there – Я краще піду туди.
· В англійській мові є такі модальні дієслова can, may, must, ought, shall, should, would, need, dare. Вони не мають усіх основних форм дієслова і тому не є самостійними і вживаються лише з дієсловом. Після третьої особи однини вони не мають закінчення – s: I can, she can.
