На английском языкеПеревод на русский языкShoppingШоппингMy name is Lena. I live in Krasnodar. It’s the central city of our region and one of the biggest cities in Russia. There are lots of big and small shops in my city. When we need to buy something we go shopping. My parents go shopping for food to the nearest supermarket nearly every day. We also have a special shopping day when we go to different shops together. It’s Saturday because all members of my family have a day-off. We go to several stores on this day. It can be a grocery, a bakery, a clothes store, a cosmetics store, a pharmacy, a store of electronic appliances and some others. My favourite shop is a clothes store. I really like shopping for new clothes and shoes. My mum always helps me to choose the right size and the right design. However, I prefer shopping with my best friends. Not far from the place where I live there is a huge mall with numerous shops, restaurants, an ice-rink, a cinema and entertainment facilities. We often go there for shopping or just to have a good time. It has become our favourite pastime recently. We don’t always buy something but window-shopping can be also fun. My parents say that in the past there were no big stores like this and sometimes it was difficult to find what you wanted. At the moment I can’t even imagine how people could have lived without shops and goods. I’m glad we have many opportunities for shopping.

My Favourite Sport

If we want to be fit and healthy we should do some sport. My favourite sport is judo, which is a modern Japanese martial art.

"Judo" means "gentle way". It is a popular sport in the world because it improves self-confidence and self-discipline, memory and attention. Besides, judo teaches us self-defence, respect and patience.  I started doing judo a few years ago. I have been training twice a week in our local sports centre. We wear a white uniform called a judogi. The lessons are physically hard but I enjoy them. Our sensei teaches us patiently and inspires us to become better people. I have already participated in a few competitions.  

I am glad that I chose to do judo because it gives me so much: I have become more patient and physically stronger.

Мой любимый спорт

Если мы хотим быть здоровыми, мы должны заниматься спортом. Мой любимый спорт — это дзюдо, современное японское боевое искусство.

«Дзюдо» означает «нежный путь». Это популярный вид спорта в мире, потому что он укрепляет уверенность в себе, самодисциплину, память и внимание. Кроме того, дзюдо учит нас самозащите, уважению и терпению.  Я начал заниматься дзюдо несколько лет назад. Я тренируюсь в местном спортивном центре два раза в неделю. Мы носим белую форму, она называется дзюдоги. Тренировки физически трудные, но мне они нравятся. Наш сэнсей учит нас терпеливо и вдохновляет нас стать лучше. Я уже участвовал в нескольких соревнованиях.

Я рад, что выбрал дзюдо, потому что оно дает мне много: я стал более терпеливым и физически сильнее.
