When I have spare time I love reading books, especially romantic novels and detective stories. When I want something relaxing, I listen to music. My favourite band at the moment is Linkin Park. Occasionally I go for a walk with my best friends. We chat about everything, and sometime we even gossip about other classmates. I plan my weekends in advance. If I don’t have my own plans my friends usually offer me something exciting.
Когда у меня есть свободное время, я люблю читать книги, особенно любовные романы и детективы. Когда я хочу чего-то расслабляющего, я слушаю музыку. Моя любимая группа на данный момент Linkin Park. Иногда я хожу на прогулку с моими лучшими друзьями. Мы болтаем обо всем, и иногда мы даже сплетничаем о других одноклассниках. Я планирую свои выходные заранее. Если же у меня нет своих планов, мои друзья обычно предлагают что-то интересное.
Most people have hobbies and interests which they prefer doing in their free time.
As for me, I don’t get much free time, especially on weekdays. However, at weekends I try to do the activities I like most of all. They are skating, bowling, dancing, swimming, reading, listening to music and going out with my friends. Ice-skating is something that I have taken up recently and I quite enjoy it. Swimming is my all time favourite activity. For bowling and dancing I need a company. Sometimes me and my friends go to the nearest disco and dance there. The ground floor has bowling alleys, so we can combine these two activities.

Speaking of hobbies, I’d like to tell you about my collection of coins. I collect coins from all over the world. My father often travels and he brings me many different coins. My other hobby is collecting soft toys. I already have more than 50 items. They occupy a special place in my room and my heart.
I know that British teenagers have many other leisure activities, such as playing football, horse-riding, taking care of pets, going hiking or to theme parks, and else.

Upon the death of F.D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman became the 7) President of America on 12 April 1945. The initial S in the middle of his name doesn't in fact mean anything. Both his grandfathers had names beginning with "S", and so Truman's mother didn't want to disappoint either of them.
