I moved with my family from the city to a town on the coast last year. My father’s a doctor and
he was offered a new job here. He thought it was better for us to live in a small town where the
air is cleaner.
I love the place! It’s so peaceful. From my bedroom window, I’ve got a beautiful view of the
harbour. I always watch the small fishing boats leaving as the sun comes up. The town is full of
traditional shops and historical buildings. There’s also a museum, a castle and some beautiful
gardens. It’s great because everything is close at hand. It takes me just 5 minutes to walk from
my house to the beach.
At first, I didn’t like the slow pace of life here. I felt isolated and missed the hustle and bustle of
the city. Now though, I never feel bored! I’ve made lots of friends and I love life here. There are
a lot of things to do. Most days, I go swimming in the sea or cycling with my friends along
country lanes. It’s amazing here!
Егор Крид – любимец женской аудитории, талантливый представитель хип-хоп и рэп культуры, автор и исполнитель песен. К двадцати-годам Егор стал одним из самых востребованных исполнителей российской хип-хоп сцены, подписал контракт с продюсерским лейблом black star. Любовь к музыке, увлечение жанром рэп-исполнения и личные юношеские переживания привели Егора в Интернет, с просторов которого и началась его карьера. Крид – это сценический псевдоним, который Егор придумал в четырнадцать лет. Он чудесный певец, и мне очень нравится!
I like New Year's Day, it is my favourite holiday. The 1st of January is a winter holiday and now it is the first day of the New Year. Peter the First changed the Russian calendar in 1699. He made the 31st of December, 1699 the last day of the year. The first of January 1700 became New Year's Day.
The 1st of January is in the middle of winter. The weather is usually fine and there is a lot of snow everywhere. As the 1st of January is a holiday I don't go to school and my parents don't go to work.
Our family prepares for this holiday beforehand. My father buys and brings home a beautiful New Year's tree at the end of December. Our family has a tradition to buy it. I like to decorate the New Year's tree with toys, little coloured lights, sweets and a beautiful star on the top. My mother and grandmother prepare our holiday supper and lay the table. I make a cake. All the members of our family clean the flat before this nice holiday and then each of us try to dress well.
