Flat

There is no place like home. And today I would like to tell you about my home.

We live in a 3-room flat in a block of flats in Kalinina Street and it consists of a living room, my parents’ bedroom, my bedroom, a kitchen and a bathroom. There is a balcony in our flat. Our flat has all modern conveniences: central heating, telephone, electricity, running water and gas. The rooms are light, but not very large. The windows face the yard.

Now I’d like to describe my room. To tell the truth, I am very happy to have a separate room, but it is not very big. I try to keep it tidy and cozy. There is a sofa, a writing table with a computer on it and a bookcase in my room. There is also a carpet on the floor and a small coffee-table in the corner.

I like my bedroom very much; it is my favourite place in our flat. I always do my homework there, meet my friends and of course play computer games. I also enjoy reading books and magazines or can just relax on the sofa in my room.

So, as you see I like my home very much.

School life

I am a pupil of the 5th form. I study at school number 23. It is situated in Kirov Street.

I would like to tell you about our school life.

I go to school six days a week. Our classes start at 8.30 a. m. and last till 2 p.m. So we have 5 or 6 lessons a day. We study many different subjects: Russian, English, Literature, History, Geography, Biology, Maths, Computer Studying and PE.

….. are my favourite subjects. I make good marks in these subjects. I enjoy English because I like to learn new words, to read in English and communicate in English. I prefer …

The school year is divided into four terms. It begins on the 1st of September and finishes in May. Each term is followed by holidays. Every pupil has a record-book where the teachers put down the marks. During the classes pupils are to answer the teacher's questions, do some exercises, write sentences, count, read, the pupils are often called to the board. After every lesson the teachers give us home task. To be good at school, we should do home work regularly and be active at the lessons.

I like studying.

Family

Our family is not large. It consists of four members. They are: my mother, my father, my sister and I. My mother's name is Anna Petrovna. She is 30. She is a doc­tor. She is a skilled doctor. My mother is a very nice woman. She is tall and thin. She has big brown eyes, a turned-up nose; her hair is fair and long. My mum is kind and understanding.

My father's name is Boris Ivanovich. He is 32. He is a worker. My father likes his work very much. He is tall. His hair is dark and short. He has a round face. His eyes are big and grey. He is very clever and has a good sense of humour.

My sister's name is Tanya. She is 15. She is a pupil. Tanya is in the 10th form. 

She studies well and has many friends. My sister is fond of music, and she plays the piano. She is pretty (handsome) and funny.

My name is Larisa. I am short and thin. My hair is fair and long. My eyes are blue. I like to dress in a modern style. I am 10. I am a pupil of the 5th form. I like to spend my free time with my friends, I’m kind and sociable. Russian, Histo­ry, English are my favourite subjects. I want English to be my future career.

Music is my hobby. I am fond of dancing at the disco. I like to buy and read books too.

In the evening all the members of our family like to watch TV. Sometimes we go to the theatre or to the concert. When the weather is fine, we like to go for a walk.

We are very friendly and I love my family.

Seasons

There are four seasons in a year: spring, summer, autumn and winter. But my favourite season is winter.

Winter is the coldest season of the year. The winter months are December, January and February. The winter days are short and gloomy. It often snows and it freezes. Winter is a very beautiful season too. Many people like it very much.

People like winter because they can have a lot of fun during this season. They can ski and skate, sledge and play hockey. Children usually play snowballs and make snowmen in winter.

Animals usually sleep during the winter, for example bears.

As for me, I like winter because my favourite holidays are in winter. They are New Year’s Day and Christmas.

There are a lot of New Year’s traditions in Russia. In every home there is a New Year tree; children always meet Father Frost and Snow Maiden with presents. People celebrate this holiday at midnight on the 31^st of December.

We celebrate Christmas on the 7^th of January. It is a religious holiday and many people go to the church this day.

Well, I like winter, but I think other seasons are nice, too.
