I`ve read a lot of different books, but my favourite one is the novel of Robinson Crusoe. Crusoe with the other men got into a boat with the object of reaching the island. But this boat was soon upset by the high waves and the men were at once swallowed up by the sea. He was the only one who saved himself.For twenty-three years he saw no other human beings and it was twenty-eight years before he was able to leave the islandThe greater part of the book tells us how Crusoe found shelter and food, how he built his ‘castle’, how he made his furniture and clothes, and how he taught himself many trades and became expert in doing all sorts of useful things. According to the author’s mind, it follows that man can live by himself comfortably and make all the things he needs with no other people, no other hands to help him. This novel is a glorification of human labour, a triumph of man over nature..
I enjoy eating out. We often go to a restaurant with my parents. It usually happens at weekend or Friday evenings, when everybody is free from work and studies. My mum likes Italian food: pasta with different sauces, pizza, lasagne and other national dishes. My father prefers eastern cuisine. His favourite dish is grilled meat with vegetables. As for me, I’m a fan of sushi and fast food. As you see our tastes differ. That’s why we choose to go to various restaurants. For example, last week, we went to the nearest sushi-bar. We had a great time there. First of all, the atmosphere in the restaurant was nice. There were black square tables and lots of Japanese national ornaments. We chose the table next to the window. The waiters were also very kind and welcoming. My parents don’t like Japanese food much, so they ordered simply some salads and fried chicken wings. Luckily, they don’t serve only national food in this restaurant. I ordered a portion of traditional rolls and a cup green tea. Everything was rather delicious. My parents tried a small piece of my rolls and said they weren’t bad. We asked the waiter to bring us the bill and left after paying. It was an excellent evening. Sometimes I eat out with my friends. We usually go to a fast food place. There is a large shopping center not far from my house and we often go there. When we get hungry, we go to the ground floor where many fast food restaurants are situated. There we usually have a sandwich or a portion of pancakes with a glass of juice.
