My weekends

My name is Natasha, I "m 15 years old. I go to school. I study many subjects there, such as physics, mathematics, the English language, the Russian language, history, geography, chemistry, literature, natural sciences, information technology and others.

Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday I practice English with my tutor. I love Saturday and Sunday! It is the only day when I can do whatever I want. However, I am not a couch potato (couch potato, lazybones).

Yes, I got up late on Saturday and Sunday, at about 10 am. Then I do my morning exercises or dance, listening to the music. Dancing and music let me relax. If I have a good mood, I go for a walk. Even if the weather is bad, there is snow, rain or hail, I still go for a walk.

Sometimes on Saturday and Sunday I go to our local swimming pool where I spend about two hours.

Almost every Sunday my grandparents come to visit us. They always bring gifts. However, they do not give me a toy because I am 15. They bring interesting books, fruits, fashionable clothes, cosmetics.

One or two hours I spend on the Internet. The Internet is a cool thing! I send letters and photos to my friends via e-mail, sometimes we talk on Skype. We discuss our last school week and we make our next week schedule.

My Mother, grandmother and my younger sister go to the store (go shopping) on ​​Saturday. I go there too because I have to help them to carry heavy bags to the car.

I love the weekends but they pass so quickly!

My last weekend was one of the most enjoyable ones. My weekdays are usually monotonous and hard, so I always long for Saturdays and Sundays. Unfortunately my weekend is too short, that is why I do my best to make it really exciting.

Nothing extraordinary happened last Saturday because I was at school till 2 p.m. and then just went home to relax with my family. I helped my mum cook dinner, then all of us watched a nice movie. It was a comedy “Meet the parents”. The film didn't have any visual effects or computer graphics, but it was sweet and funny. At 7 p.m. I had a long foam bath, it was such a pleasure which I can afford only at weekends. Then I spent a couple of hours reading an amazing book. So I fell asleep with the book in my hands.

Sunday was completely different. Of course, I got up later than usual. After breakfast I did some housework while I listened to my favorite music. Then my friend phoned me and invited me and my brother to "The Amusement Park". The weather was nice and I agreed. So we took a bus and went to the park. We had so much fun. We went on a ferris wheel and all kinds of rides: water rides, train rides, swing rides. We screamed loudly. I think all kids love the rides. Although my little brother didn't quite like them, he got scared and even cried sometimes. After that we all went shopping as I needed to find a birthday present for my mother. And I found a beautiful scarf for her. I hope she will love it.

In the evening we were extremely tired but very happy. It was a great weekend. I had a lot of fun.

My last weekend was the most enjoyable. My weekdays are usually monotonous and difficult, so I always look forward to Saturday and Sunday. Unfortunately, my weekends are too short and I try my best to make them really interesting.

Nothing out of the ordinary happened last Saturday because I was at school until 2pm and then just went home to rest with my family. I helped my mom cook dinner, then we all watched a good movie. It was the comedy Meet the Parents. The movie didn't have any visual effects or CGI, but it was cute and funny. At 7 pm I went for a long bubble bath, it was such a pleasure that I can only afford on weekends. Then I spent a couple of hours reading an amazing book. So I fell asleep with a book in my hands.

Sunday was completely different. Of course, I got up later than usual. After breakfast, I cleaned the house a bit and listened to my favorite music at the same time.

We rode the Ferris wheel and all kinds of slides: water slides, rail slides, swings. We screamed loudly. Probably all children like rides. Although my little brother did not like it very much, he was scared and even cried a little. After that we went shopping as I needed to find my mom's birthday present.

MY DAY OFF

Unfortunately being a student means that I don't have much free time apart from holidays. Sunday is the only real day off that I have from studying. Every evening I have a lot of homework to do and even on Sundays I spend most of the afternoon and evening preparing for my classes in the following week. And this year is a separate talk. I have no free time even on Sundays. I have really realized that the last year at school is not an easy thing. The teachers give much homework in every subject and I have additional practice in English and Chemistry. Besides, I spend much time preparing for my final examinations. There is practically no time for television or friends. But I'd like to tell you how I spend my free time when I have it.

For most of my friends, their first priority is to sleep longer than they normally do. But it's not about me. I don't like to sleep more than 9 hours, because then I feel even more tired. If it is summer or spring I prefer to go in for sports in the morning in the fresh air, for example, to go for jogging (running) or to play tennis. In winter I like to go skating and skiing. In deep autumn I prefer to stay at home.

I have four wonderful friends and there is a some kind of tradition among us: once a month we all meet together and talk about everything that crosses our minds. It is an excellent opportunity to have a really good chat and a relaxing time.

I don't have a concrete hobby, which I would devote all my free time. I like to do everything a little. My mother is a perfect dressmaker and she taught me to sew. So from time to time I enrich my wardrobe with modern dresses, skirts and trousers, that I make myself, of course. I also enjoy cooking, especially desserts, ice-cream, cakes, pies, but in fact, I can cook almost every kind of food.

I'm also very fond of reading. I cannot imagine my life without a good book. There are various genres of literature (detectives, thrillers, comics, science fiction, memoirs), and I prefer to read classical novels by Russian and foreign writers. I like to read novels by F. Dostoevsky, S. Turgenev, A. Chekhov. Among the foreign writers, I prefer Jack London, George Sand, Charlotte Bronte. I also like to read detectives but only by Agatha Christie and Arthur Conan Doyle. In my opinion, modern detectives are full of platitude and there is a complete absence of a fascinating plot.

Well, sometimes I spend my free time with my classmates and our attached teacher. That is usually an unforgettable time! Two times we went camping and spent some wonderful days in the fresh air, near a lake, in the forest full of mosquitoes. We didn't mind spending some days without parents and did everything we wanted. We lived in comfortable houses. We prepared all the food ourselves and didn’t allow our teacher to interfere with that process.

In the evenings, after supper, we gathered in the billiards room and played there. Then, very late, we made a fire and sat there until the morning light. We talked about various things, remembered interesting events in our lives, told funny and horror stories, sang songs and played different games around the fire. But everything good and pleasant always finishes sometime and soon we had to go home.

Well, it is true that your free time depends on your interests and hobbies. People who want to achieve something in life, to get a perfect education will spend their free days reading or visiting some exhibitions, concerts to enrich their inner world and broaden horizons. Others, less caring about their future life will spend their free time with friends and going to dance every night. But I think that here should be the golden mean and I belong to it.

MY WEEKEND

Unfortunately, being a student means not having much free time except on holidays. Sunday is the only free day from school. Every evening I have to do my homework, and even on Sundays I spend most of the day and evening preparing for next week's lessons. But this year is a different story. I don't have free time even on Sundays. I really understood that senior year at school is not easy. The teachers give a lot of homework in every subject, and I have extra classes in English and chemistry. Also, I spend a lot of time preparing for my final exams. I have little to no use for watching TV or meeting friends. But I would like to tell you how I spend my free time, when I have it.

For most of my friends, the first priority for the weekend is to sleep longer than usual. But this is not about me. I don't like sleeping more than 9 hours because then I feel even more tired. In summer or spring, I prefer to do outdoor sports in the morning, like jogging or playing tennis. In winter, I like to go to the skating rink or ski. In late autumn, I prefer to stay at home.

I have four wonderful friends, and we have a special tradition: once a month we meet and talk about everything that comes to mind. This is a great opportunity to have a nice chat and relax.

I do not have a specific hobby that I would devote all my free time to. I like to do a little of everything. My mother is an excellent dressmaker and she taught me how to sew. So, from time to time, I enrich my wardrobe with modern dresses, skirts and trousers, which, of course, I sew myself. I also love to cook, especially desserts, ice cream, cakes, pies, but in fact I can cook almost anything.

Dostoevsky, S. Turgenev, A. Chekhov. Among foreign writers, I prefer Jack London, George Sand, Charlotte Brontë. I also like to read detective stories, but only by Agatha Christie and Arthur Conan Doyle. In my opinion, modern detective stories are full of banality and they completely lack the sharpness of the storyline.

Well, sometimes I spend my free time with my classmates and the class teacher. It's always an unforgettable time! We went camping twice and spent some wonderful days outdoors near a lake in a forest full of mosquitoes. We didn't mind spending a few days without our parents and doing whatever we wanted. We lived in comfortable houses. We cooked all the food ourselves and did not allow our teacher to interfere in this process.

In the evenings after supper we gathered in the billiard room and played there. Then, very late, we built a fire and sat around it until dawn. We talked about various topics, recalled interesting events from our lives, told funny or scary stories, sang songs and played various games around the fire. But all good and pleasant things always come to an end, and soon we had to return home.

Well, it's true that your free time depends on your interests and hobbies. People who want to achieve something in life, get an excellent education, will spend their free days reading or visiting exhibitions, concerts to enrich their inner world and expand their horizons. Others, less concerned about their future, will spend their free time with friends dancing the night away. But I think this should be the golden mean here, and I belong to it.

When a school-girl I always envisaged those students who went to school five but not six days a week, as we did. So you may guess, I had the only day off - Sunday. On Sunday, I didn't have to hurry anywhere, that's why, I got up at nine or ten o'clock. I wasn't an early riser.

I did my bed, washed myself and went to the kitchen. In the kitchen the table had already been laid and I always had something tasty on Sunday: fried potatoes, meat salad or my favorite apple pies. After breakfast, if the weather was sunny, I usually didn't stay indoors, I went to see my friends.

We often played volleyball or basket-ball in the yard and in winter if there was much snow out-of-doors we went skating and skiing in the woods. But sometimes the day happened to be rainy and gloomy.

I preferred to be in watching TV, listening to music, reading books, speaking over the phone or just lying on the sofa idling away the time. Some of my classmates could watch all TV-programmes from morning till night, but I think it's rather boring, and I always felt sorry for those TV-addicts.

It "s much more interesting to play a game of chess with your grandfather, or help your mother about the house, or argue with your father about the latest events at home and abroad. In the evening, when all the family were together, we had some tea with a cake or biscuits, we listened to my younger sister playing the piano, sometimes we sang folk songs.

Every Sunday, when I went to bed, I was thinking that the day had flashed past and the next week would bring new problems and their solution.

When I was in school, I always envied students who studied five, not six days a week, like us. As you can guess, I had one day off - Sunday. On Sunday I didn't have to rush anywhere, so I got up at nine or ten o'clock.

I made my bed, washed my face and went to the kitchen. The table in the kitchen was already set, and I always had something tasty on Sundays: fried potatoes, meat salad, or my favorite apple pies. After breakfast, if the weather was sunny, I did not sit at home, but went to see my friends.

We often played volleyball or basketball in the yard, and in winter, when there was a lot of snow outside, we went to the forest to skate and ski. Sometimes it happened that the days were rainy and gloomy.

I preferred to stay at home: watch TV, listen to music, read books, talk on the phone, or just lie on the couch and waste time. Some of my classmates could watch all the TV shows from morning to evening. But I think it's very tiring, and I've always felt sorry for TV fans.

It's much more interesting to play chess with grandpa, or help mom around the house, or argue with dad about the latest happenings at home and abroad. In the evening, when the whole family was together, we drank tea with cake or cookies, listened to my little sister play the piano. Sometimes we sang folk songs.
