Try to summarize your life in two or three sentences. Take your time. Think about your past. "But mostly think about who you are today and how you got that way," says Roberta . "Maybe you want to focus on a certain relationship, maybe a certain theme...or maybe a feeling that has persisted for years."Consider these examples before putting pen to paper:Loving mom who worked all the time, no dad. Never really got over lonely childhood.Love my life, love my dog, love my kids. No room for a guy.Finally sober. Exhausting journey. Many regrets.Beautiful, close family. And then the accident.Fears and phobias finally overcome, thanks to husband. Still not sure if I deserve him.First off, if you want to write a memoir, this three-sentence description will form the structure of your book. In effect, it's a supershort story of your life—a beginning, a middle and the now, if you will. Even if you have zero impulse to write another word, however, the exercise can show you how you view yourself, your past and your present, all of which can inform your future. Unless, of course, you change the narrative—a privilege granted to any writer. все понятно
How I spent my summer holidays My name is I’m 15 years old. My favourite season is summer. My holidays began and it’s not necessary to wake up early and go to school. In June of this year I had a rest in the sports training camp. The time I spent there was very interesting and joyous. I made new friends and learnt much. We played football and volleyball. We were taught how to condition us to the cold. We had a shower bath every morning. When my father saw me he said that I’d grown up. In July I spent time with my grandmother and grandfather in their village. My grandfather went fishing and to the forest to gather mushrooms and berries with me. He taught me how to recognize edible mushrooms and orientate in the forest. I helped my grandmother with housekeeping every day. In the evenings I read books or went for a walk with my friends. In August my parents took a month’s holiday and we went to have a rest to the South together. Every day we sunbathed and swam in the sea. The weather was wonderful. We went to watch waterfalls and we were at lake in mountains. I spent my summer well and I was full of impressions. (Меня зовут ... . Мне ... лет. Лето - моё любимое время года. Начинаются каникулы и не надо рано вставать и идти в школу. В этом году в июне месяце я отдыхал в спортивном лагере. Там было очень весело и интересно. Я нашёл много новых друзей и многому научился. Мы играли в футбол и волейбол. Нас учили правильно закаляться. Каждое утро мы обливались холодной водой. Когда папа меня увидел, сказал, что я очень повзрослел. Июль я провёл в деревне у бабушки с дедушкой. С дедом мы ходили на рыбалку и в лес за грибами и ягодами. Он научил меня распознавать съедобные грибы и ориентироваться в лесу. Каждый день я бабушке по хозяйству. А вечерами читал книги или просто гулял с друзьями. В августе у родителей начался отпуск, и мы вместе поехали отдыхать на юг. Целыми днями мы загорали и купались в море. Погода была замечательная. Мы ездили смотреть водопады и посетили горное озеро. Лето я провёл замечательно, у меня осталось очень много хороших впечатлений.)
