Sir James Bond, British naval commander, also known as "agent 007" is the main character of the novels of British writer Ian Fleming about the fictional agent MI6. He gained wide popularity after the beginning of the adaptation of the novels of Fleming. A series of films about James Bond is called "Bondiana" and is one of the longest series of films in history. From 1962 to 2015, 24 films were released (an average of one film in two years). The series brought to its creators more than 7 billion US dollars, becoming the fourth most successful film series in history [1].
Distinctive qualities of Bond are: adventurism, determination, focus on forceful resolution of conflicts, as well as features of the playboy - a passion for women, gambling and alcohol.

I usually get up at 7 o’clock. Of course it’s too early for me. You can say “Why? ” I’ll answer: «I like to sleep so much, and I usually go to bed very late. So at 7 o’clock I feel myself sleepy. For that reason I drink a cup of strong coffee to wake up more quickly. After a cup of coffee I usually take a shower. Fresh shower braces up. Then I get dressed. I open my wardrobe and choose what I want to wear today. It’s high time, I’m in a hurry. But I try to have a snack (sandwiches, eggs, porridge and so on). I need to be at school (university) at 8.30.

I like to listen to music. At school (university) I usually have a dinner. I go to our schhol (university) canteen. It’s rather tasty food in it.

At 5-6 o’clock I like to play with my friends. We usually go for a walk. We like different parks. Sometimes we watch films, play computer games and discuss the latest news.

In the evening I usually do my homework. Sometimes I do homework till the late night. And then I go to bed. But some days I try to have a rest before my sleep.

And undoubtedly, I’m looking for a wekend. Weekend is a marvelous time for all pupils and students. It is a time for a good rest. I try to relax in full force and effect. Art plays a great role in our life. It forms our attitude and perception of the world, gives us more complete picture of the diverse world, lets us learn something new previously unknown. It can help person to open himself, to have a new look at
