I know some English proverbs and here is one of them — "There is no place like home". Really, the best place is our own town or village. We never forget it when we leave it. There are many beautiful places where people live. They are near forests or woods, rivers or seas, lakes or ponds and even in the mountains. Very often we think that such places are the most beautiful. By the way, I think that other places have no fine parks and buildings. Not all of their streets are straight and nice. But people who live there are proud of them and like them very much. They like them because they live and work there.The beauty of nature is a very good thing but there are things which may be more important and dear to people.As for me, I am proud of the history of my town and its historical traditions. I hope I am prepared to do more for its future. My place is dear to me because I have so many friends here. I went to school together with my friends and did a lot of interesting things in my school clubs. Now we work together and can't imagine our life without each other.As an English proverb goes "Every bird likes its own nest". Let's hope that I will like my own "nest" and will do everything to make it the most beautiful place on earth.Перевод:
Я знаю некоторые английские пословицы и вот одна из них - "Нет другого такого места как дома". В самом деле, лучшее место на земле - наш город или деревня. Мы никогда не забываем о них, даже когда покидаем их.
Есть много красивых мест, где люди живут. Они вблизи леса или леса, реки или моря, озера или пруда, и даже в горах. Очень часто мы думаем, что такие места являются самыми красивыми. Кстати, я думаю, что в других местах нет таких красивых парков и зданий. Не все их улицы прямые и хорошие. Но люди, которые живут там гордятся ими и очень любят их. Они любят их, потому что они живут и работают там.Красота природы очень хорошо, но есть вещи, которые могут быть более важными и дорогимм людям.Что касается меня, я горжусь историей своего города и его историческими традициями. Надеюсь, я готов сделать большее для его будущего. Мое место дорого для меня, потому что у меня много друзей там. Я ходил в школу вместе со своими друзьями и сделал много интересных вещей в моих школьных клубах. Теперь мы работаем вместе, и не могу себе представить наши жизни друг без друга.Как гласит английская пословица : "Каждый кулик свое болото хвалит". Будем надеяться, что я буду любить мое "гнездо" и буду делать все, чтобы сделать его самым красивым местом на земле.

Leisure Time  Nearly everyone needs some time for relaxing and doing what he or she likes. Hobbies or leisure time activities are perfect for that. Unfortunately, I don’t have much free time during the week, but when I do I try to spend it most usefully. My hobbies are tennis and swimming. Twice a week I go to the nearest indoor swimming-pool. In summer, I can swim with my friends at the lake, although the water is rather chilly in it. Speaking of tennis, I attend regular training since I’ve been seven. I have a talented coach who tells me I can be rather successful in tennis when I’m older. I especially like training at the outdoor court. One of my friends is also fond of tennis, so he joined me a year ago. Other than that, when I have free time I invite my friends over. We can play board games or have a pizza together. I’m always happy to have them around. On Friday night my parents take me and my younger sister to some restaurant. Last week, for example, we were at the Chinese place, where we ate noodles and fortune cookies. At weekends we visit some of our relatives and spend time with them. My uncle has two sons, who are a good company for me to play different games. My aunt has a three-year-old daughter and we sometimes babysit her. My leisure time somehow depends on the time of the year. For example, in summer I like attending the city museums and galleries. When we go to the seaside, of course, I spend most of the time swimming and playing beach basketball. In winter I prefer sledding and skiing with my classmates. From time to time, I go fishing with my father and uncle. It’s also one of my favourite pastimes. All in all, I’d like to say that people should have leisure time. Otherwise life would be boring.
