My Childhood Моё детство
In my opinion, childhood should be the happiest time in every person’s life. My childhood was happy and memorable. I remember almost every event from that time. Sometimes I wish I could turn back the time and stay there a little but more. It was the world of fairy-tales and magic. My parents did their best to make me feel happy. My dad would always take me to the Amusement Park, buy me sweets and ice-cream. My mum used to read me bedtime stories and play different games with me. At that time we lived with my grandparents. They also spent lots of time with me. My grandpa, for example, took me once fishing with him. That was fun. My grandma cooked amazing dishes. I especially liked her ginger cookies. As we lived in a large two-storey house with a garden, we kept a lot of domestic animals. We had a large German shepherd, two cats, a parrot and lots of chicken. As far as I remember, the parrot was the funniest of all. It could copy everything that was said around and it certainly sounded funny. Our garden was always full of flowers in spring and summer time. We also had some apple and cherry trees. A little later, when I turned four, my brother was born. I liked him very much and helped my mother in every way. I played with him, fed him, sang songs for him. I was quite happy. From now on we took him everywhere with us. We often went for a walk in the nearest park or visited our relatives. It was a magic time full of surprises and presents. One Christmas Santa brought me a sewing machine of my dreams and a toy car for my brother. I think this moment will stay forever in my memory. На мой взгляд, детство должно быть самым счастливым временем в жизни каждого человека. Мое детство было счастливым и запоминающимся. Я помню почти каждое событие из того времени. Иногда мне хочется повернуть время вспять и остаться там ещё чуть-чуть. Это был мир, полный сказок и волшебства. Мои родители делали многое, чтобы я чувствовала себя счастливой. Мой отец всегда брал меня в парк аттракционов, покупал мне конфеты и мороженое. Моя мама читала мне сказки на ночь и играла со мной в различные игры. В то время мы жили с бабушкой и дедушкой. Они также проводили много времени со мной. Мой дедушка, например, один раз взял меня с ним на рыбалку. Это было весело. Моя бабушка готовила удивительные блюда. Мне особенно нравилась её имбирные печенья. Так как мы жили в большом двухэтажном доме с садом, мы держали много домашних животных. У нас была большая немецкая овчарка, две кошки, попугай и много куриц. Насколько я помню, попугай был из всех самым забавным. Он мог копировать все, что говорилось вокруг, и это, конечно, звучало смешно. Наш сад был всегда полон цветов весной и летом. У нас также было несколько яблоневых и вишнёвых деревьев. Чуть позже, когда мне исполнилось четыре года, родился мой брат. Я его очень любила и всячески маме. Я играла с ним, кормила его, пела для него песни. Я был довольно счастлива. Отныне мы его повсюду брали с собой. Мы часто ходили на прогулку в ближайший парк или посещали наших родственников. Это было волшебное время полное сюрпризов и подарков. Однажды на Рождество Санта принес мне швейную машину моей мечты и игрушечный автомобиль для моего брата. Я думаю, этот момент навсегда останется в моей памяти.
