I`ve been studying at high school. I like studying, so this process isn`t difficult to me. I`m good at all subjects. Teachers liked me a lot, because i were hardworking at school. I have a lot friends from my last school, and we`re still in touch and have good relationships, one of my friends is going to visit me. Sure we`ll have fun and a lot interesting moments. I decided to go to study in Britain because I`d like to get good knowledge in English and good practice too. I`m going to be hardworking here too, not less than at my last school. My parents are ready to pay for my studying here, then I`m going to work and help my parents. 

On Sunday mornings our family is at home or goes to the dacha.We sleep till 10 or 11 o,clock ,because there is no need to get up early.Then we usually have breakfast in the kitchen,but when we are in the country side and it is summer we have breakfast outdoors.We enjoy food and morning sun.Then we always help Mum to wash the dished and clean the table.After that we are free and can do everything we want.My sister and i often play chess if it,s a rainy day or play badminton if it,s a sunny day.  Now we are having a rest after a long walk in the nearest forest .Mum is knitting,dad is watching TV, my littie sister is drawing and i,m making plans for the next week.
