My favourite place for rest
My favourite place in our city is our park. It is large and the bigger part of it is an amusement park but there are also a few quiet spots where people can take a walk by the lake or sit on a bench in the shadow of the trees.
When I was a little kid, my family and I often went there at weekends to go on amusement rides and get positive emotions. We also took long walks watching beautiful flower beds and magnificent trees. In autumn this green kingdom turns into a fire palace — it's such an amazing sight! I liked to see my parents' happy faces. I was happy too: mum and dad often bought me popcorn or cotton candy. Now I come to the park with my friends. There is an area for roller skating and skateboarding there — it's our usual meeting place. We tell our news and discuss lots of things or play games on our phones or tablets. By the way, in the park there is a spot where we can charge our phones or other devices for free.
There are a lot of great places in our city, but the park will always be the best for me.
1. Sandra was in bed. She waited for the postman to arrive. While she lay there she was thinking about the application she had made for the scholarship. Suddenly she got up , put on her dressing gown and went to the bathroom. While she was having a shower she heard the postman. He knocked at the door and her mother opened it. When Sandra entered into the breakfast room, a letter was lying on the table.
2 I'm a member of a group who spend weekends looking after footpaths, building walls and planting trees. We are not paid what we do but we enjoy it very much. You don't need any previous experience but it helps if you are fond on gardening. The most attractive thing about it is that you meet the other people interested in nature and preserving the countryside.
3. We were late as usual. My husband had insisted on doing his packing himself, and when he discovered that he couldn't manage he'd asked me for help at the last moment. So we had an hour to get to the airport. Luckily, there wasn't much traffic on the road and we were able to get there just in time.
