I’d like to tell you about travelling.
Every year a lot of people spend their holidays travelling. There are many reasons for it. Firstly, people travel the globe to see other countries and continents, modern cities and the ruins of ancient towns. Secondly, they travel to enjoy picturesque places or just for a change of scene to relax and forget about the stresses and worries. Moreover, travelling has always been a part of people’s education. The best way to study geography is to travel and the best way to get to know and understand the traditions and customs of different people is to speak to them. Besides, travelling is a good way to practice foreign languages. It goes without saying that it’s always exciting to discover new places and new ways of life, to try local cuisine and listen to unusual musical rhythms. It’s much better than sitting at home and doing nothing.
While travelling people can do different activities to their liking. They can just lie on white sandy beaches and sunbathe or they can take part in different activities such as extreme sports: jet skiing, windsurfing, sky diving and others.
As for me I’d like to go to England, the country whose language I’m studying. England is considered to be the country of castles. Also, I’d like to visit London, the capital city and its famous landmarks such as Buckingham palace, the Tower of London, London Eye, Madam Tussaud’s and others. I would also like to enjoy open fresh air in parks^: Hyde Park, Green park, Kensington gardens, to visit London Zoo, the biggest in Europe.
That’s what I wanted to tell you.
Free Time
Have you got a lot of free time? Why, or why not?
What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
What are your Sunday afternoons like?
Nowadays teenagers don’t have enough leisure (free) time as they have to study hard at school. The curriculum is rather difficult and I need much time to do my lessons. More than that this year I am especially busy because of the exams. Every day I have to do my homework, revise the material for exams on my own and what’s more I attend some extra classes. In addition, I usually have to help my parents about the house. These are all sorts of cleaning, washing, going shopping and babysitting with my younger sister.
After a hard work we should have a rest. As they say “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”. Today we have lots of possibilities to spend our free time with pleasure. First of all, I think we must do sports such as swimming, jogging, skateboarding, bike riding, BMX, playing football, hockey and so on. Sport helps us to keep fit. As for me I am good at basketball. Then I prefer watching TV, listening to music and playing the guitar. My favourite singer is ( Dima Bilan). Once or twice a month I go to the theatre or concert with my family or classmates. Next I am fond of playing computer games, e-mail texting, chatting with my friends in the Internet and reading.

I think it’s the best time for me to spend my free time and not to feel bored.
On Sundays I get up later than usual. Then my family and I have breakfast. I adore my mum’s pancakes, cookies and salads. After that I do my homework if I have, watch TV, read a book or help my mum about the house. Next I meet my friends and we go to the cinema, sport club or just walk in the park. What’s more there is a very cool Zoo in our city. You can wander there and enjoy watching funny monkeys and raccoons, beautiful peacocks or graceful deer. Sometimes I either visit my grandparents or relatives or they come to our place. We like to be together as we are a really friendly family.
That’s how I spend my Sunday afternoons.

In my opinion it is very important that traditions survived in our country. That's why a lot of people follow old traditions and celebrate Russian holidays.
Personally I enjoy celebrating holidays. I think it's a good way to bring the family together besides it's a good chance to meet all your friends and relatives.
The holiday that makes me especially proud is the Victory day. It commemorates the victory of our country in the Second World War.
It is the day when we remember the heroic deeds of our grandfathers during the Great Patriotic war. The holiday is celebrated all over the country. There are patriotic films on TV; you can also see the demonstration of combat machines in Red square and the parade of the veterans on this day we give them presents and flowers. In the end I can say that every holiday is nice.
