My Future Day off and my hobbies
|
|
Hello! Its me, Anton, again. Last time I told you about one of my working days and now there are a few words about my free time and my hobbies.
I had to work hard during the past weekdays as I was responsible for an important work. So, Im tired a little now. Thats why Im going to have a good rest on my day off tomorrow. Lets imagine what it will look like.
Im not sure that it will be easy for me to get up early in the morning. I like to sleep for a long time when I neednt go anywhere. I may get up just at 9 oclock or even later on my day off, though my working days are to start at 7 oclock.
Im a lazy boy, however my mother isnt angry with me when I do nothing about the house. Im grateful to her for this. I love my mother and if she asks me for help tomorrow Ill do my best of course. I always feel sorry for my mother because she is so busy at her work and she has to go shopping and cooking every day. Im going to do something pleasant for her tomorrow. We should take care of our mothers.
When my morning jobs are over Ill ring up my friend. If he is free Ill call on him and well go for a walk about the town. We always spend our weekends together. Im sorry to say we cant see each other on the weekdays because my friend studies in another town. Thus, when we meet each other tomorrow Ill be able to tell him about all the events that took place during the past days. How much I want to tell my friend! He always listens to me with great interest. We are fond of speaking to one another. I wont be surprised if we talk for many hours.
If the weather is good tomorrow, well go to the park. Its a place for meeting all young people of our town. I hope that this meeting will be pleasant for everybody as young people dont like to be alone.
Id like to say that both my friend and I enjoy traveling very much. Its our greatest hobby but itll be impossible to do it tomorrow as well have so little time for this. Thats why we prefer to travel during our holidays. Most of all we like trips to the country for a few days. Its a real pleasure for us to go to the forest that is situated not far from a beautiful lake which is famous for its fish. We like to go fishing and swimming there.
By the way we began to go fishing a few years ago and continue doing it every summer and winter. As a result we became quite good fishermen. Its fine because we always have a good chance to cook a wonderful dinner. As for me Im responsible for making a fire but my friends task is cooking, as he is really good at it. Thus, Im never hungry when we are together. We greatly enjoy sitting near the fire and telling each other funny stories. My friend also takes the guitar on such trips because he plays it very well. However neither he nor I can sing any songs. We always have a fine rest there. Thats why when we leave the forest we feel wonderful.
Id like to say that Im proud of my friend as he is a very good sportsman. He goes in for boxing and often takes part in different competitions. He is to take part in regional boxing competition next week. It will take place in Moscow. Let him win it. My friend is strong enough and Im not afraid of anybody when Im with him. As for me I go in for sports too, but Im not so strong as he is. Thats why I only play chess and I can do it quite well.
In the evening I enjoy being outdoors. But tomorrow Ill have a chance to watch a wonderful film on TV. I have little time for watching TV, however either on Saturday or on Sunday I always do it. By the way, I am greatly interested in historical and scientific programs. So Im very glad if sometimes I have a little time to watch them on TV. I enjoy such programs very much. As for the films Im fond of different kinds of them. Although I quite like films I dont go to the cinema very often. I prefer watching TV or home video. Id like to say that only a few of my friends go to the cinema. But as far as I know some years ago it was the most pleasant and popular way of rest for most people. Though I dont like to go to the cinema I always visit our towns theatre if I have a chance to do it.
After watching TV tomorrow Id like to read a wonderful book. I often do it before going to bed. Im sorry to say, I dont have my own library. Thats why I have to take books for reading from my friends. I prefer to read about history both of Russia and of foreign countries. Im glad to say, I have a few books of such kind now and Im going to read them as quick as possible.
I hope that tomorrows day will look like this one. But if everything happens in a different way Ill take it easy.
