3) I live in a big flat, so my parents let me have my own room. It's not big, but I'm very happy to have my own space, my own nook. I love my room, there are so many memories associated with each item. For example, this old wardrobe from my beloved grandmother. I remember hiding in it from my parents for a bad grade. There are so many important things in it, and it's not just a wardrobe full of them. My whole room just drowns in all sorts of things. My parents say it's a mess, but it creates an atmosphere, I like living in things. I like to wrap myself in them when I lie in my big bed. I like to look at posters of my favourite music groups on the walls before I go to bed. There may not be much furniture in the room, but I still love my little nook.
4) I want to live in a spacious two-storey house with large windows and spacious rooms. I want to have a veranda on the roof so that I could come to the veranda at any time and read a book or just watch the sunset or the sunrise. On the ground floor I want a spacious kitchen where I could cook different meals, a library room next to it so that I could take any book and go to the veranda.
My first floor will be four large rooms, one will be my office where I will do homework or something like that, next to my bedroom, the last two rooms will be for guests.
5) My favourite athlete, Lionel Messi, has long been a true symbol of Argentina. As a member of the national team of his native country and of the Spanish club Barcelona, he has won several times in various competitions: the UEFA Champions League, Spanish and Spanish Cups and Super Cups, the European Super Cup and Club World Cups. The footballer has repeatedly managed to set records for the number of goals he has scored in his career. The year 2014 was particularly successful for the athlete, when he managed to break the multi-year records in the history of FC Barcelona, the Spanish championship and the Champions League.
Certainly, that fascinates me. As does the fact that Messi has repeatedly been voted the best footballer in Europe and the world, receiving Golden and Diamond Balls for his services.
It makes me proud to watch my favourite athlete play, knowing that Messi is doing so well in a way that no one has done for a long time before him and probably won't do after. That's why he is without a doubt one of the best players of our time and footballers of all time.
6) I live in a small provincial town, so I am surrounded by many small parks where you can take a walk on a fresh spring morning. On the way to the park, you can go to a little shop near my house where you can buy all sorts of knick-knacks. I'm lucky that I live close to school, so I can go to the café on the corner before class and buy a cup of fragrant cocoa for a successful day. At weekends, I usually go shopping with my mother at a nearby fairground. It's on the big square near the monument. On holidays, lots of people gather there to have fun.
7) On weekdays, I usually get up at 6:30. I like to get up early to do my jogging in the park, so I get my pyjamas off and put on my sportswear. There is a very beautiful and quiet park not far from my home and I go jogging there every day, even on weekends. Then I go back home and have a shower. Then I get dressed and go to the kitchen for breakfast. My mother usually cooks breakfast, but sometimes I do it myself. I prefer a large cup of coffee and a sandwich, but my mother often cooks porridge. She believes that the porridge is the most healthy and useful breakfast for the whole day.
Then I shine my shoes and call my friend who lives next door and we go to school together. The school is quite close to our house. Lessons start at 9 o’clock and finish at two or three, it depends on the schedule. Then I come home and have lunch. After lunch, I have a little rest and then I start doing my homework. Usually, the homework takes me two hours. If mom asks me, I take the rubbish out or go grocery shopping for supper or do another simple daily routine.
Then I go for a walk with my friend and his dog. We go to the park and throw a ball, and the dog brings it back to us.
In the evening I have dinner with my family. We all get together, joke, have fun, discuss our family affairs.
I usually go to bed around eleven o’clock.
