 Ireally like to swim in the water. I like to dive into the water, swimming on his back. What I like to swim breaststroke, but most of all I like to dive with underwater goggles to see under the water it is very interesting to me, so my favorite sport is swimming.

 

 

 

 мне очень нравиться плавать в воде .я люблю нырять под воду, плыть на спине. больше всего мне нравиться плавать брасом, но больше всего я люблю нырять с подводными очками, видеть под водой это очень интересно для меня, поэтому мой любимый спорт это плаванье.

There are many public and bank holiday during the year, but my favourite one is certainly New Year. Each year on the 31st of December we see the old year off and the New Year in.

For most people it’s the start of something new, of the new page in their life. In this sense, I’m not an exception. I know that English people create a list of New Year resolutions and I think it’s a good tradition. Each culture has its own unique way of celebrating this holiday.

As I live in Central Russia I can tell about the traditions and customs of my region. It is usually rather cold and snowy here at this time of the year. Starting approximately from the 25th of December we have two-week school holidays. My parents also have several days off to celebrate New Year and Christmas. All families put up fir- or pine-trees at their houses. We prefer to buy a pine-tree and richly decorate it.

On the New Year’s Eve my mother cooks special tasty dishes, including my favourite salad with corn and crab sticks. It’s my father’s responsibility to prepare a chicken or turkey stuffed with rice.

On the 31st of December my grandparents visit us and all together we sit around the festive table. Sharp at midnight we listen to the President’s speech and congratulations. Then we toast to the New Year and eat as much as we like.

In the morning I check whether Father Frost brought me presents. All the presents are usually placed under the New Year tree. The next few days we visit our close relatives and friends to wish them Happy New Year and to exchange presents.

Time flies quickly. In a few days it’s again time to go to school and to get back to daily routine.
