Topic "Me and My World"

I’d like to say that my family are probably the most important people in my life. There are five of us: my mom and dad, grandma, my elder sister, and me. I also have a lot of aunts, uncles, and cousins, but they don’t live with us, although it’s great fun meeting them from time to time. I like it a lot when we get together, for example, on New Year’s Eve, babies, teenagers, middle-aged and elderly people, light candles on the table and the lights on the New Year tree. It sounds like an ideal family, doesn’t it? On the other hand, we haven't got a very large flat, and when you have to share your room with a lot of children, it’s quite a struggle. But we all are good friends, and if somebody of us pulls a face, there will always turn somebody up to pull his or her leg to ease the tension.

We've got another family tradition, my birthday. It starts with a knock at the door and excited ‘Happy Birthday’ of my people, and at the end of the day it turns into a cheerful party, with bouncy children and smiling adults sitting at the nicely laid table. I always regret that such a day has to come to an end.


In general, we don’t spend too much time together, but I love it when we go out, for example to the cinema or the theatre, although my parents don’t often agree to watch children’s films. We enjoy going to picturesque places, we love our dacha, where we spend our weekends in the open air, the garden, the dog there that I’m trying to train and teach tricks. We often invite friends, both mine and my parents’, and it’s good to have friends!


I should say that I don’t have a lot of friends, but those whom I call so, are my close ones. One of my friends, …, is my classmate, another is my neighbour, they are of my age and we share the same interests and spend our free time together. … and me, for example, collect coins, and we always ask each other for advice, exchange coins, go to see famous exhibitions to get some knowledge of the history of them, and we’re even thinking of joining a club. With my another friend, … we go in for dancing and train regularly. But my closest, I dare say, is … . She is so kind, intelligent, and reliable, she always supports me, encourages me in what I do, and we have so much in common, that I can say she is really my second self, another me. We spend our time chatting, watching videos, going to discos, Internet clubs, just wandering round the district, and without any doubt I’m happy that she moved here a couple of years ago.


Unfortunately, we don’t often meet up during our school weekdays, as we have loads of work. I don’t mind doing my homework because I understand that it’s an important part of my education and it’s not that hard to cope with, but I just can’t stand the idea of spending all day working. But I pull myself together and do what I must. Later in the evening I will unwind by listening to my favourite songs, watching the telly, talking over the phone, playing on the computer. Then I sleep like a log – always.
