Wednesday is a perfect day for me. I have only five lessons on this day, so I come home quite early, at about 2 o’clock. I love Wednesdays because I go with my best friend to a volleyball section at the local sports club. We are fond of playing volleyball. We arrive at the club at ten minutes to 3, put on our special uniform and start warming up. Our trainer is a professional volleyball player. He says that I’m good at volleyball. We play with other boys and girls for an hour and a half and then go home. I come home absolutely tired but happy.

Я так понимаю, тебе надо написать что-то вроде эссе в свободной форме о том, каково твое восприятие Великобритании. Тут не просто факты из истории, а больше твое отношение к ним. Вот мой вариант:
Nowadays I hear a lot of different facts and opinions about the UK. Some people are keen to move there while other say it's not the best country to live.
My personal opinion that Great Britain is definitely worth visiting.First of all, I would love to travel to London to see Tower Bridge, Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey. I think it would be fantastic to experience<span> the spectacular views of the city from high above the River Thames from </span>London Eye.<span> But England is much more than London, so I would enjoy going to Brighton, Leeds Castle, Oxford and Cambridge. And I have a great desire to go to Cardiff, Wales and Edinburgh, Scotland.
So, travelling to the UK is one of my intentions. At the same time I understand every country has its own problems, so I'm not sure if I want to move there. But I believe British traditions are worth respecting and this country will keep on developing in the future.</span>
Did you go to Brighton on the train? Did you go swimming? Did you see Brighton Pavillion? Did you buy souvenirs?
