My name is Helen. I’d like to say a few words about my family and our hobbies.

People live a very busy life nowadays, so they have little time to spare. Тhey do their best to make use of those rare hours of leisure. A hobby is a favourite occupation of a person in their free time.

My mother is fond of gardening. Her hobby is not only wonderful but also very useful. That’s why we all help her in the garden. Gardening helps us to be healthy and achieve a peace of mind. And in winter Mother spends all her free time knitting and sewing things: sweaters, skirts, blouses, dresses. She makes it nicely and she always looks fine.

My father likes making everything with his own hands. He can repair an iron, a radio-set, or a washing-machine. I think it’s a very good hobby. Father is also interested in cars. He knows everything about their construction and production.

My hobby is ballroom dancing. Dancing is not just an art, it is also a great exercise and a good way to stay in shape. Besides, I’m fond of reading. It is one of the best activities you can enjoy indoors. I feel that people who love reading, can never get bored when they are alone. Reading is a source of knowledge and inspiration.

My brother is fifteen. And, of course, like all teenagers he prefers computer-based activities to reading. The Internet provides him with an endless number of options for recreation, which include online games, online chatting, video surfing, blogging, social networking, reading online news and so on.

Children and teenagers are great collectors. My little sister collects shells, coins, comic books and pictures of her favourite pop stars. Her dream is to keep a pet – a dog, a hamster or a rabbit.

My boyfriend goes in for sports. He plays volleyball, does judo and goes skating. Apart from that he wants to take up swimming.

Modern life is impossible without travelling. We travel by car, by train and by air. Every year we go on holiday to a new place in Russia or abroad.

Hobbies are not just fun. They help us to learn new things and broaden our outlook.

My Best Friend

Of all my friends, I like Alex the best. He is my group mate. Both of us study at the historical faculty at university, so we see each other every day.

Alex is a very nice boy. He is very honest and kind. I trust him a lot and I’m sure that I can rely on my friend in any situation.

Alex and I often watch films or listen to music together. My friend has a very good ear for music. He plays the guitar very well. We usually talk a lot about all sorts of things. We discuss films, books, and TV programmes. Sometimes Alex and I go to the cinema or walk around the city centre, visiting small cafes and clubs. But now we must study a lot and we can’t spend much time on entertainment.

We go to university six days a week and that's why we have to get up at seven o'clock every morning. Our classes usually start at eight o’clock in the morning and last until two o’clock. Studying there is not easy. If you missed some classes it is not so easy to catch up with the program later. There you should work hard and behave like an adult. Now I am doing quite well at university. My parents are proud of my progress. Alex and I always help each other and go to the library together. We usually spend a lot of time doing homework.

Twice a week I go to the swimming pool. Alex goes in for sports too. He plays tennis and takes part in different competitions.

His family consists of his parents, a brother and a sister. Alex’s mother is a teacher of biology. His father is a professional painter and works for a design company. They both like their work very much. They are very friendly and hospitable. They like travelling and gardening.

Alex’s younger sister Kate goes to school. She is fond of reading books and wants to be a teacher of literature. His younger brother is only six years old. He is very funny, and Alex often spends his free time teaching his little brother something and playing with him.

I never quarrel with Alex. If we argue about something we try to make peace as soon as possible. I like that Alex is always willing to help. I really respect him.

I miss Alex when we don’t see each other for a long time. Our friendship helps me feel strong and sure of myself.

The public education in Russia is free which is guaranteed by constitution. Private institutions which charge fees for education account for 1% of preschool enrolment, 0.5% of primary school enrollment and 17% of university-level students.

The state preschool education is represented by kindergartens (nurseries) – full day child-care institutions for the children under 7 years of age.

Russian children go to school at the age between 6 and 7. During the eleven-year school term pupils get primary education (grades 1-4), basic general secondary education (grades 5-9) and complete general secondary education (grades 10-11).

There are various types of secondary schools: general secondary schools, schools specializing in a certain subject, gymnasiums, lyceums and so on.

Upon completion of a nine-year course the student can transfer to a vocational school or college to get both a working skill qualification and a complete general secondary school certificate.

Higher education is provided by wide curriculum universities and narrow specialization institutes. To enter a higher educational establishment students should pass the Unified State Exams.

There are two levels of higher education: a student can take a 4-year course leading to a Bachelor's degree, and then a year or two-year course leading to a Master's degree.
