I share my room with my brother, as our family can't afford to buy a bigger flat. Real estate in Moscow is very expensive. My parents have got their own room, and we all share our living room. We have a large kitchen and a spacious entrance hall.
In my room there are two beds, two desks, two chairs for me and my brother. In our living room there's a large sofa and a couple of armchairs, we spend there a lot of time together watching TV and talking.
Our bathroom is very comfortable and nice looking. In our kitchen we have got all modern conveniences, even a dishwasher. There's also a large table with four chairs around it.
There are a lot of parks in the area we live, and I often ride my bike there. There are also a lot of shopping centres within a walking distance.
It's a very nice place to live in.
- My school. Школа.
I'm Sasha. I'm ten. I live close to Moscow in a large town called Mytishchi. I attend a local secondary school. I'm in the 3'rd grade.
My school is three bus stops from my house, so I go there by bus. Classes begin at 9 o'clock. Every day we have 5 lessons. My favourite subjects are maths and art, but I hate literature and PE. Every lesson lasts 45 minutes. During breaks, we play in the corridor or go to the school cafeteria.
After the first lesson, we have our lunch. Some of my classmates take their lunch boxes from home, but I go to the school canteen. It's not very expensive, but also not very tasty. After classes, I usually play with my friends in the school yard, and then we go home.
At home I have my lunch and do my homework. It takes me around two hours to do it. Twice a week I attend a music school where I learn to play the piano.
My best friend Misha lives nearby, and we often meet after classes. I visit him, or he visits me because we live very close to each other. In our free time we like playing soccer and computer games of course. My mum says it's not good to spend so much time in front of my tablet.
The best time of the year is summer, because we have our school holidays that last three months.
- At work. На работе.
My dad is an engineer. He works for a small private company. He goes to work five days a week.
His working day starts at 9 o'clock, so he leaves home at about half past eight and goes to his office by car. It takes him around 20 minutes to drive there. Before leaving home in the morning, he usually has his breakfast with a cup of coffee and a couple of sandwiches.
My dad is an electrical engineer. He works with his colleges on new construction projects. Lunch time in his company is from 12.30 till 13.15 and he usually goes to a local cafe. This cafe serves special business lunches that are tasty and inexpensive.
My dad loves his job and he often says that it was a right decision to study at the university. He spent there 5 years and graduated with a brilliant degree.
He finishes working at around half past five and goes home. On the way home, he picks up my sister from the nursery school, and they return home at around 18.15.
When he comes home, he helps my mum with cooking, and we have dinner at around seven in the evening. When enjoying our meals, we exchange our latest news and events. Unfortunately, it's my duty to wash up dishes after dinner, but in any case I have to do something around the house.
- Shopping. Покупки.
I'm not a shopaholic but my wife is. I only go to the shop if we are short in food and need to buy some. I live in a block of flats in Smolensk, and there is a small shop on the ground floor of our house. This is where I usually go shopping.
But my wife likes going into the centre of our city and visiting every shop possible. She could spend half a day hanging out shopping. But at weekends, she wants me to accompany her when buying food in a supermarket for the whole week.
We drive to the supermarket, it's about ten minutes by car. There is a large free parking area there. We spend there more than one hour. We go from department to department and put everything in a large trolley. At first we usually buy a lot of fruit and vegetables, then we move to the dairy department to buy milk, butter, cheese and other dairy products. Then we buy different types of meat and some sausage. We end up buying bread, rolls and bagels at the bakery. And of course some household items: there is a big choice. We pay at the checkout with a credit card. I usually leave the shop with a headache, it's always like that after half an hour inside any supermarket. But I like visiting local outdoor market, I never have any headache.
When coming home we unpack everything and put most of the food into our fridge. It's quite large and can accommodate everything we buy. And then I try to forget about shopping for the whole week.
- My meals. Моя еда.
I get up early in the morning since I have to be at work by eight o'clock. That's why I usually have a quick breakfast of some cereal with milk, one sandwich and a cup of white coffee or tea.
During the lunch break at work, I go to the local cafe, where I normally order some salad, vegetable or noodle soup for the first course and then spaghetti or rice with some chicken. Also I order some apple or orange juice with a small roll. I pay with my credit card and sometimes in cash. We also have a kitchenette in our office, where we have a choice of drinks, a coffee-machine and some snacks.
In the evening, when I return home, I have my dinner together with my wife and our daughter. My wife likes cooking, but I try to help her a little. And it's my duty to wash up all the dishes after dinner. For dinner, we quite often have some Greek salad, spaghetti with different souses and some meat or fish, usually fried.
At weekends we quite often visit various cafes and restaurants, we can afford it, since our salaries are high. McDonald's isn't my favourite place but our daughter likes it and we go there a lot. Usually we order cheeseburgers, fries, cheese souse and coke. Sometimes we have chicken there. Also our daughter likes their ice-cream. They may not be very healthy meals but we can't resist our kid.
- Health. Здоровье.
I'm a healthy person. But sometimes I get sick. In such case I go to the local medical centre or call the doctor home if my temperature is really high and I feel bad.
My GP (general practitioner) asks me about my symptoms. First, he takes my temperature and examines my throat. Then he asks a lot of questions about headache, stomachache, and so on. He also checks my blood pressure and listens to my heart and lungs with a stethoscope. If necessary, he sends me to several tests.
I case of a serious illness my doctor sends me on medical leave. With a prescription, I go to the local pharmacy to buy some medicine. In case of flu I spend at home around 7-10 days, then I have an appointment with my GP again, and only then I go to work. There are many drugs you could buy without a prescription, but most antibiotics and serous drugs could be bought only with it.
In case of a very serious illness, you could be taken to a hospital. It's free in Russia, as most people have got special insurance. There are a lot of private medical centre now, and the choice is yours.
I don't like to get sick, so I always wash my hands when coming back home. I also thoroughly wash all fruit and vegetables I bring from the shop. Recently we have got a covid-19 pandemic and most people wear masks when in public. I guess this saves a lot of human lives. And the best way to avoid infection in this case is to stay at home.
- My holiday. Мой отпуск.
We live in Moscow. In our family, we try to go on holiday twice a year. The first time in winter, around Christmas, for about ten days and then in summer, July or August, for two weeks.
In winter we travel to Sochi region or in Austria if our visas are still valid, as we like winter sports and alpine skiing. To book our holiday, we do not go to any travel agents. We book everything on-line. To book tickets, we open the required airline website, find our flights there and complete the booking paying with a credit card. The same applies to accommodation, we usually book it on www.booking.com or www.airbnb.com web sites. The first one has a lot of offers from different hotels, and the second one has mostly offers from private people. When flying abroad, we prefer to stay with some local families there, as it's a good possibility to speak English a bit.
In summer, we usually book our holidays in Turkey. We fly to Alanya by Russian airline "Pobeda". We book our tickets in advance as it's much cheaper and we save some money. In Alanya we book apartments, as we prefer self-catering. Our friend advised us this town in Turkey and we like it. It's not very big, but really green, it's one large green park. Everything is close to our apart hotel there: beaches, shops, markets and a very long promenade. The apart hotel, we book, is located next to Cleopatra's beach and the sand is just amazing there. We spend a couple of hours on the beach in the morning as well as later in the afternoon, as it's very hot during the day time. The staff at our hotel speak a bit English and German. In the evening we walk along the beach - up to five km of foot, and it really helps if you need to loose some weight.
- Seasons. Времена года.
There are four seasons in a year: winter, spring, summer and autumn (they call it fall in the US).
I live in Lithuania. In winter there is little snow in our country because of the Atlantic Ocean. But sometimes there is. It's the coldest part of the year. The day time temperature in February, for example, could be around minus 20 sometimes, but usually it's minus two to three degrees. When possible, I like to go skiing in the forest outside Vilnius, this is my favourite pastime in winter. Of course, we should wear winter clothes, clean our yard from snow and so on. But it's just beautiful outside.
Then spring comes. The snow starts melting and finally disappears. The first buds appear on trees, and then the leaves. I like their light green colour in late May, early June. And then all the flowers and trees begin blooming. Paradise of colours.
In summer, my parents take me to the countryside where my grandparents live. They have a large cottage in a small village near Panevezys. And I spend a couple of months there every year. I help my grandparents with gardening and mowing the grass. My parents also take me on holiday with them to Spain for a couple of weeks at the end of August. Usually we fly to Alicante.
Then autumn comes, and I need to go to school. September could be very warm, and it's even possible to swim in the local river. But sometimes it starts raining from the beginning of September and never ends. I need to wear my raincoat and always take my umbrella with me. But, of course, I like the multiple colours of the trees, just breathtaking. But this is not my favourite time of the year.
- My friend. Мой друг/подруга.
My best friend is Julia. We became friends our first year at secondary school. We were queueing at the school cafeteria and started talking and then more and more..
Now we have known each other for more than five years. Julia is a sympathetic and very honest person. She is also very smart. She regularly wins various school olympics in maths and chemistry. She tells me that she wants to go to medical university and become a doctor. I'm sure, she will. She's a very ambitious girl.
In our free time, we like listening to some music, meeting our friends, going to the movies, sometimes to the theatre or to a concert. Our favourite singer is Billie Eilish, she's very popular with our generation. But sometimes I listen to some music, my dad does: Pink Floyd, Beatles, Deep Purple, Carlos Santana.
Unfortunately, we don't have much free time now, as it's our final year at school, and we spend a lot of time preparing for our school leaving exams and tests. Also, Julia has got a boyfriend recently, and she spends less time with me. Plus we are in the same school, but in different classes. But we still exchange messages and chat a lot on WhatsApp.
And the following weekend, our large company, of may be ten people, is going to the local park for a picnic and we are going to have barbecue of meat and vegetables. We have already made a list of who buys what.
Unfortunately, we are growing up, and we'll be moving in different directions, may be cities or even countries. But, I hope, we gonna meet from time to time in the future.
