Fairy tales are very good for children because the following reasons :
"If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales." Albert Einstein
This morning the press, and public, went into uproar over headlines claiming evolutionary biologist and writer Richard Dawkins thinks fairy tales are harmful to children. After a quick look at Dawkins' personal Twitter feed, and his subsequent interview with The Guardian, it seems that his comments have been misunderstood. Nevertheless, in light of the conversation, we look at five reasons why fairy tales are in fact great for children...
1. They boost a child's imagination and cultural literacy
A child's imagination is a powerful and unique thing. It's not only used to make up stories and games, it's a key factor in their creative thoughts and can define the type of education, career and life they have. With this imagination comes a cultural literacy; fairy tales often include different cultures and ways of doing things. They teach children about cultural differences in the world outside their own gifting them a curiosity to learn new things and experience new places.
2. They teach us right from wrong
Standing strongly within fairy tales of magic horses and glass slippers is a moral backbone. It's in a fairytale's DNA to have a strong moral lesson, a fight between good & evil, love and loss, and these lessons rub off on our children.
According to The Telegraph, Mrs Goddard Blythe, director of the Institute for Neuro-Physiological Psychology in Chester, said: "Fairy tales help to teach children an understanding of right and wrong, not through direct teaching, but through implication."
Fairy tales help to teach children an understanding of right and wrong, not through direct teaching, but through implication
Fairy tales teach children that good will always triumph and, while this may not be true in aspects of the real world, the lesson is simple and important. Be the hero, not the villain. Learn to hope for better.
3. They develop critical thinking skills
Following on from the last point, and as Richard Dawkins has pointed out, fairy tales teach children critical thinking. They see the consequences of characters decisions and learn that what will happen to them depends on the choices they make. Not all characters can be good role models, even 'the goodies' can be damsels in distress, or reckless (or feckless) princes. What the stories do teach though, is that when bad things happen, you have decisions to make. If you make the right ones, everything might just turn out OK.
4. They can help children deal with emotions themselves
Not only do fairy tales prepare our kids for society and making moral decisions, they teach them how to deal with conflict within themselves. Child psychologist Bruno Bettelheim, who specialised in the importance of fairy tales in childhood, believed that fairy tales can aid children in dealing with anxiety they are, as yet, unable to explain. In fairy tales children are often the main character and more often than not will win against the story's evil. Readers can relate to this and find a fairy tale hero in themselves. Watch any Pixar film for guidance on this one.
5. And finally, they are great fun!
I have very fond memories of curling up in bed and disappearing into another world where dragons fly and princes fight. My memories of overwhelming excitement when my dad came home with the latest Harry Potter book still makes my smile. The games I played with my friends in our garden were indisputably improved by our imaginations, which were still swimming in last night's story.
Whether it's for indirect moral lessons, improving their imaginations or because your child can't put that book down reading fairy tales should be encouraged. Read them together, help your kids invent their own and make sure they know can win against any wicked witch.

Living in the country has both advantages and disadvantages. There are certainly many advantages to live in the country. First, you can enjoy peace and quietness. The air in the countryside is often fresher than in the city. Second, people tend to be friendlier. They live not very far from the others; they know each other very well. If someone needs help, they are ready to help anytime. Moreover, there is less traffic, so it is safer for young children. However, there are certain disadvantages to life outside the city. First, because there are fewer people, you are likely to have few friends. In addition, entertainment is difficult to find, particularly in the evening. Moreover, education seems to be less developed than it in the city. Therefore, the children are less accessed to the modern technology. On the whole, it is often the best for those who are retired or who have young children to live in the country. In contrast, young people who have a career are better provided in the city.

II. Read the text. Then answer the questions (1.0 point)
In Scotland, the biggest celebration of the year is ‘Hogmanay’. Hogmanay is the Scottish word for New Year’s Eve. On 31st December in Edinburgh, there is an enormous firework display at the castle, and they play live music in the park. Thousands of people gather in the streets, cafes and bars. Then, at 12 o’clock, church bells ring all over the city.
After midnight, people go ‘first footing’. This is a Scottish custom that dates back hundreds of years. First footing is visiting your neighbours after midnight on New Year’s Eve. The visitors must step into the house with their right foot first, to bring good luck. Traditionally the visitors bring three gifts: a piece of coal, a piece of ‘shortbread’ (Scottish biscuit) and a little whisky. The gifts symbolize warmth, food and happiness. If the first person who visits your home after midnight is a man with dark hair, that is particularly lucky!
