Here are greetings from our Friends in Novisibirsk Russia:

Dear Friends,

Through its history Mankind looks for and tries to find the answer to the question: What is happiness? When we congratulate our dearest and nearest we wish happiness. But what does it mean for us? For our children it often means a good friend, a present, weather, mark, film,computer games: For our grandparents, mums and dads it means peace in the world, health of nearest and dearest people, sun in the blue sky, love, understanding, help, caring. I hope that New Millenium will be peaceful and friendly for all people in the world. All people on our planet dream about happy life, only for every person it has different meaning . I would like all people on EARTH be happy as they want to be happy. My students and me, we congratulate people in the world with N EW MILLENIUM !!!!

The true secret of Happiness:

Every day, have Something to do Or somewhere to go Every day have Someone to call Someone to see Someone to love But most important Every day have Something to give to someone.

From, Teacher Helen Rekichinskaya

My vision of the3d Millenium

I don't know what the 3d Millenium will be like, but I think that it must be A Millenium of something new, of course. I think, it will be filled with different kinds of discoveries and progress in different spheres of life. I wish, it were a millenium when people understand things they do not understand today. I wish, they knew that Earth is their only home and if they don't care of it, they will not have the possibility to exist. I hope people will learn to understand that they are not the only ones on the Earth. I want to wish to the next Millenium great sense and good remembrance for not to make ancient mistakes. From, Sumina Helen 9A grade


Millennial Vision

Nobody can say what will be in the future.I hope that everything will be well. In my mind there will be a lot of changes in all parts of the world.The progress of the science will make possible many things in medicine, in space engineering, education, agriculture,metallurgy, animal husbandry: In the future may be people will invent the synthetic heart or the serum against AIDS, or may be people will discover the new planet where other creatures live. There is much positive in the development of our world, but as the result there are a lot of ecological problems, human activities which can make our environment unhealthy. I think that in the future people should find out the ways of reducing air and water pollution. In my mind we, people of our planet, should think about the future and take care of our planet. From, Tiunova Jane 9A grade


Third Millenium: our hopes and dreams

Third Millenium:What does it prepare for us? Of course, new questions and new answers; new tasks and new decisions. :The writers of fantastic bookcan answer the question"What can we expect from the future?'...Many things which were impossible in previous centuries are real now and things which are in our projects now we'll be natural tomorrow. But even in the world of highly developed industry it is impossible to live and to work without plain human qualities such as friendship, kindness,l ove, honesty,humanity and so on..The history of mankind shows that a lot of problems are the same which the man tries to solve: relationship between parents and their children, between people, attitudeto nature,education,family..People always try to find the ways to the stars, they are interested in problem of galaxies, planets, .. And our life without mysteries,adventures, discoveries will be really very dull andboring, I think The future of our planet depends on people who live on it and it seems to me we should work a lot and think about it. I dream about good and friendly relationship between people. So many wonderful things in surronding world and I would like to wish people in the 3d Millenium to be noble,honest,friendly and fair. I dream of becoming the history teacher and educating the students,developing their talents. From, Kim Ann 9A


Third Millenium

I think that in future people will think more about our planet and nature.The 21st century is the time of thinking about our ecology. You know if we don't think about our future we shall not have one.I hope that there won't be wars and it will be much love.I hope all dreams will come true in NEW MILLENIUM. From, Mostovov Andrey 9A


The world in the 3d Millenium

I think that in the 3d Millenium people will become cleverer. May be they will finish fighting against each other and between countries. Different religions will thrive.Technologies will develop very quickly.Computer will be in every house and every pupil will have a computer on every desk. As people will be cleverer they will understand,that sports should take much time in their life. Everywhere and near every house there will be different sports grounds or swimming pools. And the main care of the people will be protecting of the environment.Theywill stop cutting down trees but will plant thousands of trees and flowers everywhere.I think that the profession of a gardener will become more popular than now. Forests will be turned into national parks. Naturally people will stop polluting the atmosphere. The air will always be clean and fresh. Generally,I envy the people of the 3d Millenium. From, Max Konobeev 7A


The 3d millenium

I do not know what will be in the 3d millenium. Maybe people will land on Mars or on some planet situated near Alpha Centauri. Some times I look at the night sky and I think how many stars, planets, galaxies are there! Maybe in the 3d millenium people will research them. I think in our days one of the main people's problem is: where shall we go when on the earth there will not be some place to live. Maybe in the third millenium people will live in the space, but maybe they will live on the bottom of the oceans, or seas. Who knows. Maybe... we don't know. We can only imagine what will be in the third millenium. For us third millenium is the time full of mystery. But I hope that in the 3d millenium people will not destroy each other and all will be good. From, Alex Faguet . 7B grade


What I think about XXI century.

I think that the computers will be more powerful. And we shall be able to change TV-programs through the human voice. The audio-technic and video-technic will be more comfortable for using. Most people will be richer and happier. I think that cars willfly and streets will be full of driving and flying cars. Houses will be higher. I hope people will know more about the Universe and space. May be people will go to another planets and perhaps to another Galaxies. They will travel or even live on another planets. From, Klestorin Elia 7B


3d Millennium.

It is difficult for me to imagine the new life in the3d Millenium. May be people will become kinder. In our country and in the world will never be wars as in Chechnya and people will not be killed by cruel people. I dream that in the3d millenium our planet will be quite and people will live happily, peacefully , without wars and other tragidies. Sometimes I see very poor people in the streets and I think how terrible life when you are poor. Is it possible to find ways for creating the wonderful society without poor? From, Rekichinskiy Stas 3A grade
