Yesterday it was Sunday, so my last weekend was not too long ago and I remember it quite well. I always try to do my best to make my holidays really exciting, because we have only few days in a week for relaxation and rest.
Yesterday my friends and I agreed to meet at my place. First we watched a very interesting TV show "What? Where? When?". Then we took a videocassette and watched an outstanding movie "The Independence Day". This is a story about strangers from the other planets that were trying to conquer the whole Earth and about the struggle against them. The movie is full of visual effects and computer graphics that takes your breath and makes you admire the modern technologies in the cinema. I wish our studios and directors made such movies. "The Independence Day" can be added to the genius pieces of modern art – that is my opinion.
Having watched the film, we decided that it was a time to go outside. The first place we went to was the sports ground. Though it was rather cold, we put on warm clothes and had much fun. Almost all day long we played soccer and basketball.
As for me, I like weekends and holidays, as the majority of other people. And I like telling about my holidays. It's dull to listen about the ordinary working day, how do you think? Every working day looks like another, but every weekend is different from the other. During the weekend we have an opportunity to enjoy the life and having rest.
Dear Jane,
Thanks for your letter. Sorry I haven't answered earlier, but I was busy with my studies.I wish you success in your new hobby.In your letter you asked me about sports. Nowadays sport is very popular in Russia. Football and basketball are the most popular among boys in our country. Girls prefer to play volleyball. I like playing volleyball too because I like to be a part of a team.I adore to watch different sport events not only on TV. Last week my friends and I went to the city stadium to watch some football matches between local schools. It was fascinating. Anyway, I've got to go now.
Email back soon.
Best wishes,
Paulina
