Свое свободное время я провожу с пользой для себя. У меня в комнате стоит огромный книжный шкаф. Половина книг мне достается по наследству от родителей, бабушек и дедушек. Книжный магазин мое самое часто посещаемое место. При каждом посещении книжного магазина я покупаю сразу несколько книг. Раньше я предпочитал читать исключительно фантастику, но последнее время я отдаю предпочтение детективам. Моя любимая книга из жанра фантастики была “Сталкер”. Автор этой книги Борис Стругацкий. Я читал всю серию его книг от начала до конца. Ну, а сейчас я предпочитаю читать книги Дарьи Донцовой. Ее книги действительно очень интересны и подвластны пониманию всем возрастам. Также в свободное время я смотрю телевизор. Моей любимой телепередачей является “Умники и умницы”. В ней я узнаю очень много новых вещей. Например, на днях я узнал, что Сталин заранее знал, когда начнется война. Конечно, это мне кажется не правда, но так кажется только мне. В свое свободное время я люблю гулять с друзьями. Зимой мы часто ходим на каток, а летом играем в футбол. Раньше я играл в местной футбольной команде, в которой мне очень нравилось. После тренировки мы ходили в кафе и весело проводили время.
There are a lot of different ways to get around the city. Some of them are faster, some ways are more convenient than others, but I love cycling.
Cycling has a few advantages. Firstly, it can be enjoyed by almost everyone, regardless of your age or physical ability. Secondly, there are so many types of bicycles to choose from: smaller bikes for kids and teenagers, portable (or folding) bicycles that are relatively small and light enough to be easily carried, road bikes for fast rides, touring bikes which can be ridden on pavement and many others. As far as I know the best bike for casual riding around the neighborhood or bike paths and short-distance commuting is a hybrid bicycle. Thirdly, cycling improves your fitness, muscle flexibility and body coordination. It also decreases stress levels. Fourthly, cycling is an environment-friendly mode of transportation since it reduces pollution and the emission of greenhouse gases. Besides, cycling reduces noise pollution which is a big problem in our cities. Another thing to keep in mind is that you do not have to waste your time in traffic jams. However, there are a few disadvantages. The first one is high risk of getting injured by cars. Even wearing a helmet and a warn vest is not helpful. The second disadvantage is dependency on weather conditions. Riding a bicycle is not recommended in icy, snowy or rainy weather. The third one is that when riding your bike in traffic you inhale the air polluted by petrol and diesel fumes. But the scientists say that the health benefits of cycling still outweigh the risks caused by air pollution.
I think there are enough convincing reasons to prefer cycling to other ways of travelling, but it is important to follow basic safety rules and always be careful.
