We went to the cinema on Sunday. We liked the film “The Expendables” very much. It is one of the best films I have ever seen. I don’t really like action films and watch them rarely, but this time the special effects were great.

After the cinema we went to a café and spent about an hour there. We quietly spoke about everything, discussed the news and problems. There were few people there; we listened to nice music and came back home before ten o’clock. I always try to come home on time, not later than eleven o’clock. As a rule, I get up early because I have a lot of things to do.

Today is a day-off and I am going to clean my room and help my parents about the house. In the afternoon we will go to the supermarket for shopping. It is not far from home and it usually takes us about ten minutes to get there. There are fewer cars on the roads at the weekend than on weekdays. In the evening I would like to have a rest and read something. I will probably watch a film. Though books are better than films. When I have a little time I try to read. The more I read the more I learn. Do you know an English joke, “The more we learn the more we know. The more we know the more we forget. The more we forget the less we know. Why (should we) study?”

Next year I am leaving school and I am going to enter the university. That’s why I’m working really hard now.

Before we went to the sea we had thought how to get there. Finally we came to the conclusion that we had never driven so far yet.

It took us two days to pack our things and get ready. We decided to live in a tent at a campsite. It helped us (to) save money and it was more interesting than staying at a hotel. There were four of us who went there – dad, mom, my younger sister and I. Sister had never been to the sea before. And I had been there only once but hardly remembered anything.

We spent two days on the way. Fortunately, the weather was lovely and it was not too hot in the car. On the way there we put up at a hotel and the next evening we were on the spot. Hardly had we arrived when I ran down to the water. I had never seen such clean water before! The beach wasn’t crowded and I decided to have a swim in the sea at once. The water was warm. Before we left, I had put my scuba mask and snorkel in my bag. I took them out immediately and tried to find something at the bottom where the sea was deeper. And I did! It was a coin which someone had thrown there long before I found it. When I cleaned it I could read, “1923”. That coin was almost 90 years old. And it was just the first day at the seaside. I had never found anything like that before. I still have this coin under the glass on my desk. Now it’s clean and shiny.

We spent one and a half weeks by the sea. It was an unforgettable time. I often remember the trip and want to come back there. But now I’m preparing for my exams and I am going to enter the university. Unfortunately, I am short of time now. Maybe, if I have enough free time in summer after the examinations I will go there again, by train this time. I do not drive yet but I am going to get a driving licence when I am eighteen.

Before we left, I had promised to come back again and threw a new coin into the sea. Perhaps, someone will find it in 80 or 90 years. But it is going to be another story…

Ex. 4

• What would you do at leisure if you had more free time?
• You know, I have always been fond of painting and now I dream of taking a brush in my hand.
• Painting is beautiful but complicated.
• I like difficult tasks. I have seen how pictures are painted. I have one artist among my acquaintances. It’s a woman. We got acquainted at a birthday party of our common friends. She invited me to her studio when she got to know that I was interested in art.
• Great. A person often needs just an impetus to something new, right?
• I agree. Next month I will have a vacation. And I promised myself to buy an artist’s kit and try to paint something.
• For example?
• There’s nothing more beautiful than landscapes in my opinion. I have lots of great photos from the places I’ve been to on vacation. They may serve as samples.
• Are you sure you’ll cope with it?
• Not at the first attempt, of course. I’m not going to paint details. It’s going to be rather impressionistic. I’ll try to catch the mood.
• Sure. The colours are most important. As soon as the necessary combination is found, you can go on.
• I have already learnt how to mix paints. It’s not so easy as I had thought before I came to the studio for the first time.
• Who’s your favourite artist?
• Aivazovski. His paintings are the most realistic in my view. He was a master of light. The people who attended his exhibitions thought that there was a hidden light behind the canvas.
• Really? I’ve never heard about that!
• Go to the gallery and make sure. It’s interesting that the paints have not lost their saturation. When you look at the night sky depicted in his landscapes, you are just fascinated by it.
• How often do you watch the artist paint?
• Not so often. Every other week.
• Good luck then! It’s important to start then you are going to make it. Painting is a difficult science, but you’ll cope, I’m sure.
• Thanks. I’ll definitely show it to you if I manage to create something nice.
• Say ‘when’, not ‘if’. The more confident you are, the more chances of success you have.
• OK. Call me, keep in touch!
• You too. See you soon!
• Bye!
