Britain has recent by been described as a “leisure society.” This is because there are a great variety of leisure pursuits. Young people generally go out on Friday or Saturday nights to a disco, to a concert or to a pub. In recent years going out for a meal or getting a take-away meal have become popular too. During the past years there is a great increase in keeping fit and staying healthy. A lot of teens started running, jogging and going to different fitness clubs in their spare time. Aerobics classes and fitness clubs opened in every town, and the number of recreation centres greatly increased. Indoor pools, with their wave-making machines, water slides and tropical vegetation, have became very popular.
The same is true in Russia. A lot of teens go in for different kinds of sport. Sport helps them to feel as fit as a fiddle. In both countries there are special programmes for problem teenagers, such as a high-risk activities, for example they are taught to jump out of aeroplanes. But despite the increase in the number of teens participating in sport, the majority of young people still prefer to be spectators. They prefer to be couch potatoes. Watching sports on TV is a popular leisure activity, as is going to football matches on Saturday. Cinemas have been redesigned with four or more screens, each showing a different film at the same time, and a lot of teens like going to the cinemas too.
The young generation is fond of communication. There are many available methods of communication nowadays, and the most popular one is computers. A lot of teenagers spend plenty of time working on computers. The Internet seems really good fun. You may send e-mails to friends from different countries and get their answers instantly. You even may talk to them. It is easy and quick. A lot of teenagers have mobile telephones, so they can always be contacted, if they keep their telephone switched on, at any time of the day or night, or tend text messages.
My school is rather big – it is a five-storeyed building. The building is modern – it was built about ten years ago and everything is new here. There is also all necessary equipment in the gym and other classes. The canteen is very light and clean – it is on the first floor. My favorite subjects are History, English and Economics. My favorite teacher teaches History, she is also our form-mistress. To my mind, the best place in the school is a library. I like visiting library, we can also study here. It is very cozy and very-well organized thanks to out librarian. During the breaks I like to chat with my friends and discuss interesting events. In a few months I will have my final exams. I will miss my school very much.
Моя школа довольно большая – это пятиэтажное здание. Здание современное – оно было построено около 10 лет назад и здесь всё новое. Здесь также есть всё необходимое оборудование в спортзале и других кабинетах. Столовая очень светлая и чистая – она находится на первом этаже. Мои любимые предметы – это история, английский и экономика. Мой любимый учитель ведёт историю, также она наша классный руководитель. Как мне кажется, самое лучшее место в школе – это библиотека. Я люблю посещать библиотеку, также мы можем учиться здесь. Она очень уютная и хорошо организованная благодаря нашему библиотекарю. Во время перемен я люблю поболтать с друзьями или обсудить интересные события. Через несколько месяцев у меня будут выпускные экзамены. Я буду скучать за своей школой.
