My Family and Myself

I am Sergeev Anton. Anton is my first name and Sergeev is my surname. I am 24 years old. I was born on April 8, 1978 in Vladimir. In June 1996 I finished the secondary school and wanted to enter Vladimir State University but failed at the entrance exams. I had to work at the plant as a worker. Then I served in the army in Siberia.

When I came back home I decided to become an engineer. Last year I suc­cessfully passed my entrance exams and entered Vladimir State University.

I study at the correspondence department. Now I am a first-year student of the university. I combine work and study and I must say it is not easy but I try to do well at the university.

My family is rather large. There are five persons in it. I have a wife, one child, a father, a mother and a sister. Two years ago I got married. My wife's name is Nina. She is 22 years old. Last year she graduated from the pedagogical university and now she works at school. She teaches history.

My little daughter was born one year ago. She is a nice child. My father is 52. He is a teacher of physics, he works at school number 10. My mother is 2 years younger than my father. She is a chemist. She works at the laboratory of tire plant. I have a sister. She is 26. My sister graduated from Ivanovo medical academy and now she works at the regional hospital. She is single.

Our family is very united. In the evenings and on week-ends when we all are at home we talk about our work and life. We also like to watch TV or just to discuss everyday problems.

All of us like to spend our week-ends out of town. We often go to the vil­lage to see our grandparents. They are old-aged pensioners now and prefer to live in the country. It is very important to have a good family where all people are tactful and respect each other.

Ex.2 Text

MY FRIENDS. FRIENDSHIP Friendship is very great thing. An English proverb says: “A good friend is as the sun in winter”. I think it is a good proverb. A real friend makes your life happier and more interesting. He/she is clear to you and you want your friendship to last for a very long time. You must always think how to keep it, as it difficult to find a new friend. Friends have the same interests; they understand, help, respect and trust each other. As for me I have a friend, too… We like to be together. We often listen to music (go to the cinema, walk about the city, play games, read books) together. We have the same hobby and devote all our free time to it. We speak of all sorts of things. We tell each other our secrets and troubles. Together we decide what to do. It is interesting to discuss our school life, films that we have seen, interesting books, TV programmes, political news, and the results of sport events. I never quarrel with my friends (if we quarrel we try to make peace as soon as possible). We share the same ideas about sports (music, books, films friendship). But of course there are some issues on which we have different opinions. What I like in my friend is that she (he) is always willing to help, to share his knowledge (success, feelings). I like that she (he) is very sensitive, she (he) knows a lot, I can rely on her (him) in any situation. I trust her (him) a lot and she (he) never lets me down.I respect her (him) for her (his) fairness, strong will. She (he) is very kind-hearted, honest, serious, well-bred, modest, and intelligent. It is easy to get along with her (him). She (he) is always full of ideas. She (he) is good at sports, drawing and music. And there is only one thing I don’t like in her (him): she (he) is sometimes hot-tempered. Friendship helps me to feel strong and self-confident.

Nancy

My friends and I go to the mall every day. We usually hang out or walk up and down looking at the clothes shop. We don’t often buy anything, but we go to the movie theater there or hang out in the ice-cream parlor.

The Kowalskis

We take the kids to the mall every weekend. We go to the bowling alley there, and the kids like eating at the food court – there’s so much choice: Mexican, Italian and plenty of fast food, of course! Sometimes Vanessa goes to the spar there. It’s great to have everything under one roof!

Tyler

My friend and I go to the mall about twice a week. We play the games in the arcade, and we like to check out the latest DVDs and computer games in the shops. Sometimes if it’s raining at the weekend, we go to the indoor skate park at the mall too.

Ex. 4 Text: Dancing in the street

Breakdancing emerged in New York in the 1970s. The style of movement, which combines dance, gymnastics and boxing, was performed by kids, often in teams, in competitions at street corners. It was a part of the large hip-hop culture that also incorporated rappers, DJs and the graffiti artists. The rock Steady Crew from the Bronx was one of the first hip-hop groups and became world famous. The group still organizes a Rock Steady Crew Anniversary every year in New York to celebrate hip-hop culture, and its main focus is always a street dance competition. The Anniversary attracts competitors from all over the world and over 20,000 observers.

Ex. 2 Text My Hobby

Tastes differ. Different people like different things, different people have different hobbies. I go in for sports, I like to play tennis. I go to play tennis every day.

Sport is very important part of our life. Many people go in for sports, they jogging, walking, swimming, skating, skiing, train themselves in clubs and different sections. Physical training is an important subject at school. Pupils play volleyball, football, basketball. I have been playing tennis for 5 years. Tennis became very popular now. I take part in different competitions. To be in a good shape I'm jogging every morning and do my morning exercises. Everyone should do all he can to stay healthy and choose the sport he is interested in. I do not understand people who say that they like sport, but they only watch sport on TV. If one goes in for sports he feels much better, looks much better, sleeps much better. Your physical appearance will change too. You will be slimmer and trimmer. And what is even more important you will not get sick often. Why do I go in for sports? Because I think that it is very important for a man to be strong and well-built. Sport is not for weak, because, you have to learn how to lose, and it's not

easy. My favourite proverb says: "A sound mind in sound body".

Beautiful Nepal!

Sun 5th April - Kathmandu
We arrived safely in a very foggy Kathmandu after our short but delayed flight from India. We caught a local bus to the hotel, passing street vendors, beggars, shoeshine boys and even a barber with his chair and cracked mirror out on the pavement! This morning we escaped the dust, noise and pollution of the city to visit the incredible Monkey Temple up in the hills. There really were hundreds of monkeys there — they were running around everywhere. There were lots of steps to climb but it was worth it — the view of the snowy peaks of the Himalayas in the distance was absolutely breathtaking!

Tues 7th April - The Himalayas
We woke up yesterday morning feeling so excited! Finally the day we would begin our 2-day trekking excursion to the Himalayas had arrived! We took a small plane journey from Kathmandu and then trekked for hours up and down the rocky mountain trail. It was hot in the bright mountain sun but quite cold wherever there was some shade. You can't imagine how spectacular the scenery was! We finally reached a village called Phakding where we put up our tent and camped outside a teahouse. We tried some local dishes, which were delicious, and then got into our sleeping bags. It got cold very quickly once the sun had gone down! I awoke the next morning to the most amazing sunrise I had ever seen! I took a walk down to the river where I ran into two young boys playing. They were really friendly. Nepalese villages are very poor, but everyone we met in the mountains seemed happy.

Thurs 9th April - Bhaktapur
Returning from the mountains, Kathmandu seemed even busier than when we left! We took a taxi to the ancient town of Bhaktapur today as we had heard that its annual festival Bisket Jatra was taking place. When we got there, we hired a guide, who took us to see the noisy tug-of-war contest that kicks off the festival every year. Apparently, the festival is based on a fairy tale and continues for days. It includes a wild parade, a candlelit procession and two more tugs-of-war! Later in the day, we went on a guided tour of Bhaktapur's magnificent temples, then we went shopping for souvenirs. The city is full of craftsmen selling paintings and handicrafts. I bought some beautiful pottery and Jake found a fantastic pair of hand-made drums!

Sat 11th April - Home Sweet Home!
Jake and I finally put on our backpacks for the last time and flew home today after 5 weeks, 4 countries, 2 nasty viruses and countless temples, mountains, beaches and cheap campsites and hotels! I'll never forget the amazing experiences I've had backpacking through Asia, but right now I'm looking forward to some home comforts and a good night's sleep...

Translation:

Воскресенье 5 апреля – Катманду
Мы благополучно прибыли в очень туманный Катманду после нашего короткого, но задержанного рейса из Индии. Мы сели на местный автобус в отель, проезжая мимо уличных торговцев, нищих, мальчиков, которые чистят обувь и даже парикмахера с его стулом и треснувшим зеркалом на тротуаре! Сегодня утром мы избежали пыль, шум и загрязнение города, чтобы посетить невероятный храм обезьян в горах. Там действительно были сотни обезьян - они бегали повсюду. Там было много ступеней, чтобы подняться, но оно того стоило - вид на снежные вершины Гималаев на расстоянии абсолютно захватывает дух!
Вторник 7 апреля – Гималаи
Мы проснулись сегодня утром, чувствуя себя таким возбужденным! Наконец день, когда мы начнем наш 2-дневный походную экскурсию в Гималаи настал! Мы взяли небольшое путешествие самолетом из Катманду, а затем шли в течение нескольких часов вверх и вниз по скалистой горной тропе. Было жарко под ярким солнцем горы, но довольно холодно в тени. Вы не можете себе представить, каким захватывающим был пейзаж! Мы, наконец, достигли деревни под названием Пхакдинг, где мы поставили нашу палатку и расположились за пределами чайной. Мы попробовали некоторые местные блюда, которые были восхитительны, а затем легли в наши спальные мешки. Стало холодно очень быстро, как только зашло солнце! Я проснулся на следующее утро в самый удивительный восход солнца, который я когда-либо видел! Я спустился вниз к реке, где я столкнулся с двумя маленькими мальчиками, которые играли. Они были очень дружелюбны. Непальские деревни очень бедны, но все, кого мы встретили в горах, казались счастливыми.
Четверг 9 апреля – Бхактапур
Возвращаясь с гор, Катманду казался еще более оживленным, чем когда мы уехали! Мы взяли такси до древнего города Bhaktapur сегодня, когда мы услышали, что ежегодный фестиваль Bisket Jatra проходит там. Когда мы добрались там, мы наняли гида, который взял нас, чтобы увидеть конкурс по шумному перетягиванию каната, который начинает фестиваль каждый год. Видимо, фестиваль основан на сказке и продолжается в течение нескольких дней. Она включает в себя дикие парад, шествие свечах и еще два буксира для военнопленных! Позже в тот же день мы отправились на экскурсию великолепных храмов Bhaktapur, потом мы пошли по магазинам за сувенирами. Город полон мастеров, которые продают картины и поделки. Я купил красивую керамику и Джейк обнаружил фантастическую пару самодельных барабанов!
Сб 11 апреля – Дом милый дом!
Джейк и я, наконец, одели наши рюкзаки в последний раз и полетели домой сегодня после 5 недель, 4 стран, 2 неприятных вирусов и бесчисленных храмов, гор, пляжей и дешевых кемпингов и отелей! Я никогда не забуду удивительный опыт, который я имел альпинизмом через Азию, но сейчас я с нетерпением жду домашний комфорт и крепкий ночной сон...
