My Day Off ( аудиозапись)

On my day off I get up later than usual, at nine or ten o’clock. I need not hurry anywhere. After breakfast I watch my favourite TV programmes.

I meet with my friends and we discuss our plans together, go to the museums or parks. I like to see my friends and they often come to my place. We play chess, listen to music and talk a lot.

Sometimes when I am tired og the city traffic and noise I go to the country. I spend much time in the open air and enjoy wonderful nature. In summer I swim in the river and lie in the sun if the weather is fine. In winter I ski in the forest.

In the evening all the members of our family get together. We have supper, make plans for tomorrow.Sometimes we receive guests at our place or go for a walk.

I enjoy my days off very much.

My Day Off

Most people in our country work five days a week but students and pupils work six days. They have only one day off. It is Sunday.

I like this day very much. You needn't hurry anywhere and you may go wherever you like after your week's work. On this day I wake up later than usual. But sometimes I don't get up till nine or ten o'clock. I read morning newspapers or listen to music.

As soon as I get up I air the room, make my bed and do my morning exercises. Then I have breakfast, clear away the dishes and wash up.

I meet with my friends and we discuss our plans together. We may go to the cinema or theatre, to museums and parks. Last Sunday we went to the Botanical Garden. There were many beds of spring flowers there: red, yellow and blue. The air was fresh and clean. It was very pleasant to spend time there.

When the weather is fine, we also like to be out of town, somewhere in the forest or on the bank of the river. We lie in the sun, play different games and swim. In winter my friends and I often go to the skating-rink. Skating is my favourite kind of sport, but I like to ski too.

When the weather is bad, my friends come to my place. We listen to the music or talk.

In the evening all the members of our family get together. We have our supper, make plans for tomorrow, watch TV or read books. Reading is my hobby. Sometimes we receive guests at our place or go for a walk. I enjoy my days off very much.

Переведите текст письменно

It’s Sunday tomorrow. I usually sit around and do nothing on Sunday. But tomorrow I’m going to do a lot of things. I shan’t waste time: I’m going to get up early. Good health is better than wealth. So I’ll start with morning exercises. Then there’s housework to do. In the afternoon I’m going to wash my car. It needs washing badly. Then I’ll watch TV or go for a walk. Then Ted may come and see me. Oh, better not! Again those cigarettes! I must form good habits: no smoking, a lot of exercises and fresh air.

Where’s my alarm clock? I don’t think I must get up so early. Tomorrow is Sunday. I can stay in bed as long as I like. Now, where are my pijamas? I could start my program on Monday, why be in a hurry? Oh, well, into bed …
