In the mountains of northern Kazakhstan, there is a lake with clean
water called Burabai. Around the lake, there are beautiful pine trees
and pretty groves of birch trees. But how did these trees come to
be? There is a story about one of these groves.

Once upon a time, there was a lovely village by the side of Burabai. One
day, its people decided to organise a special festival. There were games
and competitions to test the intelligence, skill and strength of the young
people, as well as songs and poetry. But the most important part of the
festival was the dancing!
When the Khan heard about the festival, he decided to go and see the
singing, dancing and games for himself. But he realised that if any of the
other people recognised him, they would be uncomfortable and wouldn't
dance or sing freely. So, he took off all of his rich jewels and put on
simple clothes to look like an ordinary person. In this way, he could go
to the festival secretly!
At the festival, everyone was having a great time playing games and
sports. Eventually, the music started and all the young women got up and
started dancing. The Khan was so amazed by their grace. He jumped up
out of his seat and started complimenting the dancers on their skill and
beauty. The girls recognised the Khan. They were so terrified that they
froze where they stood and turned into a grove of white birch trees!
To this day, many people from Kazakhstan and other parts of the world
travel to the Grove of the Dancing Birches to admire its beauty and hear
the incredible story of the Khan and the girls who became trees.

Each person has his hobby and as a matter of fact little free time to do something we like doing most of all. I also have many hobbies. As I am a pupil I haven`t got much free time during the school days. And I study in school so I`ve got only one day off. It`s Sunday.
In my free time I usually hang out with my friends or surf the Net. If it is summer I don`t use the computer much and have a great time outside. But in autumn, winter and spring I have to use computer more because sometimes wecan`t do our homework without using the Internet. And I usually chat with my friends because I don`t see some of them for a long time.
On Saturdays or Sundays I usually help my mum with the housework, watch TV, meet my friends
But sometimes if the school days were busy and I had to study much harder I simply relax. I think we must do something interesting in our free time because we become borried and tired after doing homework and studying so hard.
