Every morning I go to school and when I return around 2 pm I do my homework for tomorrow and then I’m free to do what I like.For example, I like playing chess, I enjoy attending the swimming-pool, I always participate in local volleyball games, I like experimenting with cooking, I like knitting and reading magazines, etc. I have been attending our local club of ping-pong for children for quite a while and the trainer said that I have a talent at it. My parents are very proud of me and my progress.I have always liked drawing things, painting and colouring. When my mum noticed my interest she took me to the city Art School which I then started attending. It’s been six years already since I first went there, and now I’m really good at picturing objects.
Dear Alex,
My name is Angelina. I am from Russia. I live in Rostov. It is an old and beautiful city. It stands on the big river Don. I live in a block of flats. There are a lot of green trees and flowers in our street. There is a Botanical garden and other parks in Rostov. I like to go to the zoo. There are theatres, cathedrals, a lot of monuments in the city. It has got a lot of old interesting buildings to see. I love my native city very much. Write about your city.
Best wishes,
Angelina
