Birthday is a very wonderful day. Everybody likes to celebrate it. It is a good opportunity to relax and spend time with friends, parents, relatives.My name is Olga.  I’m twelve years old. I have one main and particular day in the year. It’s my birthday. There are a lot of holidays throughout the year but of course the most memorable is the birthday.     How do I spend the party? I was born in winter, in December, so the weather is usually cold at this time and we arrange a birthday party at home. I invite my family members and my best friends. Mum and granny cook a lot of tasty and delicious things for our festive dinner. We clean the flat and decorate it with balloons. When guests come we have a hearty dinner.  My mum brings the birthday cake in. Then I puff the candles out. Guests sing songs and dance, play games and joke, laugh or tell funny stories. Then we play different games.  As for birthday presents, of course, I like to receive something interesting. I know that today many people prefer rational gifts, for example money or something valuable. For some of them it is even a common practice to say in advance what they would like to receive. I agree that on the one hand such reasonable approach is rather convenient. At least, you are sure that you won’t receive any unwanted junk, and your friends won’t have to break their heads over this issue. But on the other hand, to my mind, it’s too boring. I like surprises, so I prefer something inexpensive, but unusual and memorable.  During our merry party we do not only sing songs, dance, and make jokes but we also speak about our life, hobbies, and future. As for me, as I have already mentioned, my birthday is one of the most wonderful days in the year. I am always happy to have a nice day with my friends.

Жители Лондона любят свои парки и гордятся ими. В Лондоне очень много парков и садов. Ты можешь провести целый день на природе, не выезжая из Лондона. Лондонские парки богаты деревьями травой, цветами и водоёмами. Вы можете гулять среди старых деревьев, расслабиться и восхищаться цветами и пейзажами или же принять участие в таких мероприятиях, как игра в теннис, плавание или прогулка на лошадях. Королевские парки — собственности королевской семьи. В центре Лондона они включают в себя Хайд парк, Грин парк, парк святого Джеймса, парк Регента и Кенсингтонские сады. Хайд парк известен своими развлечениями и Спикерским уголком. Воскресными утрами любой может выступить с речью о чём-то, что он сам считает важным. Также Вы можете посетить парк Регента, где расположен Лондонский зоопарк, а ещё там можно совершить прогулку по озеру на лодке или побывать в театре под открытым небом, где летом Вы можете насладиться постановками по пьесам Шекспира. Парк святого Джеймса, самый старый парк Лондона, очень красив благодаря деревьям, цветочным полям и видом на Букингемский палац.
