My favourite place in our city is our park. It is large and the bigger part of it is an amusement park but there are also a few quiet spots where people can take a walk by the lake or sit on a bench in the shadow of the trees.
When I was a little kid, my family and I often went there at weekends to go on amusement rides and get positive emotions. We also took long walks watching beautiful flower beds and magnificent trees. In autumn this green kingdom turns into a fire palace — it's such an amazing sight! I liked to see my parents' happy faces. I was happy too: mum and dad often bought me popcorn or cotton candy. Now I come to the park with my friends. There is an area for roller skating and skateboarding there — it's our usual meeting place.
We tell our news and discuss lots of things or play games on our phones or tablets. By the way, in the park there is a spot where we can charge our phones or other devices for free.
There are a lot of great places in our city, but the park will always be the best for me.

Мое любимое место
Мое любимое место в нашем городе - наш парк. Он большой, и значительную часть его территории занимает парк развлечений, но есть также несколько тихих мест, где люди могут прогуляться у озера или посидеть на скамейке в тени деревьев.
Когда я был маленьким, моя семья и я часто ездили туда по выходным, чтобы покататься на аттракционах и получить положительные эмоции. Мы также долго гуляли, наблюдая за красивыми цветниками и великолепными деревьями. Осенью это зеленое королевство превращается в огненный дворец - удивительное зрелище! Мне нравилось видеть счастливые лица моих родителей. Я тоже был счастлив: мама и папа часто покупали мне попкорн или сладкую вату. Теперь я прихожу в парк со своими друзьями. Там есть площадка для катания на роликах и скейтбордах - это наше обычное место встречи.
Мы рассказываем наши новости и обсуждаем множество вещей или играем в игры на наших телефонах или планшетах. Кстати, в парке есть место, где мы можем бесплатно зарядить наши телефоны или другие устройства.
В нашем городе много замечательных мест, но парк всегда будет лучшим для меня.
вот ответ.
Объяснение:
There are a lot of people who influence our life and can be role models for us. They are our parents and relatives and, of course, our teachers. If I had to choose my favourite teacher it would be my Literature teacher, Eduard Alekseevich. He worked in our class during the 10th and 11th grades at school.
Our Literature teacher was a middle-aged man with a pleasant smile. He was always very kind, intelligent and patient with us. We admired his beautiful and powerful language and a delicate sense of humour. Besides he managed to deal with some pushy parents with dignity and wisdom. He carefully listened to our thoughts and feelings and respected everyone’s opinion. And we were very grateful to him for that. Our teacher was flexible and creative and he had plenty of ideas to get us think and talk. Sometimes we participated in hot and dynamic discussions or acted out some scenes taken from our books. It was real fun.
We had Literature classes only twice a week and we really looked forward to them. We were ready to spend hours with Eduard Alekseevich because he made his subject so enjoyable. In other words he р the best teacher I have ever had so far. I cherish him for being such a fabulous person. Probably the secret of his success was his passionate love for work. I am sure that teaching was his calling.
