A. Chocolate is the most common present on St. Valentine’s Day. The tradition goes back to the 1800s when doctors made patients eat chocolate to make them feel happier. This might also be the reason why in the 1860s, Richard Cadbury produced his heart-shaped box of chocolates exclusively for Valentine’s Day.
B. St Valentine’s Day is a perfect occasion to express your deepest feelings to the person you love. On Valentine's Day lovers, friends and family members exchange Valentine’s Day gifts as symbols of love. However, statistics show that nearly 9 million people prefer celebrating Valentine’s Day with their pets and give them presents. The reason is that most pet owners consider animals to be more grateful and loyal than humans.
C. Each rose sent on Valentine’s Day has some meaning. For example, a red rose means love and respect and pink says, ‘I am having sweet thoughts about you’. Also, it is believed that one rose stands for love at first sight, eleven flowers mean that the receiver is truly and deeply loved and a hundred and eight roses are recommended for marriage proposals.
D. Some superstitions about seeing birds on Valentine’s Day are really funny. It was once believed that if a woman saw a flying robin, she would get married to a sailor. However, if she saw a sparrow, her future husband would be poor. If she saw a goldfinch, she would marry a millionaire. There is no answer to who she would marry if she saw a pigeon, as history does not say anything about pigeons.
E. Romeo and Juliet, the two characters from the play by William Shakespeare, are remembered all over the world as an emblem of romance. The young lovers lived in Verona, Italy. Every Valentine’s Day, this city still receives about 1,000 letters addressed to Juliet. The fictional character is still alive for many people who believe in romantic and immortal love.
F. Started by a group of feminists, Quirkyalone Day is celebrated on February 14 as an alternative to Valentine’s Day. The new holiday started in 2003 as a celebration of romance, freedom and individuality. It’s a day to celebrate the things you enjoy doing alone. Ways to celebrate include: buying yourself a new dress, taking a long walk without your mobile phone, exploring a new part of town, trying a new recipe etc.

My favourite lesson is Physical Training.
Usually we have our physical training lessons either in the gymnasium or on the sports ground. Our sports ground is situated behind the school. On the sports ground there are a football field, a volleyball ground and a basketball ground.
Before the PT lessons we put on our sports uniform. After we have changed our clothes, we go to the gymnasium and line up. At the beginning of the lesson we usually do gymnastic exercises. Then we pull up, jump, climb the rope.
On the sports ground we run. Sometimes we throw balls. We often play sports games at the PT lesson. All the boys in our form like to play football. But our girls prefer to play volleyball or basketball.
In winter at the PT lessons we ski. We ski on the sports ground or in the park. Sometimes, if the weather is cold, we go to skate at the skating rink. The boys play hockey on the sports ground too.
Many boys and girls of our form attend various sports sections. I also attend a sports section in swimming. Three times a week I go to the swimming-pool. Some of my friends go in for tennis, track-and-field athletics, boxing and other sports.
Перевод:
Мой любимый урок - урок физической культуры.
Обычно у нас проходят уроки физкультуры или в спортзале или на стадионе. Наша спортивная площадка находится позади школы. На стадионе есть футбольное поле, волейбольная площадка и баскетбольная площадка.
Перед уроком физкультуры, мы надеваем спортивную форму. После того как мы сменили нашу одежду, мы идем в спортзал и строимся. В начале урока мы, как правило, делаем гимнастические упражнения. Затем подтягиваемся, прыгаем, лазим по канату.
На спортивной площадке мы бегаем. Иногда мы бросаем мячи. Мы часто играем в спортивные игры на уроке физкультуры. Все ребята в нашем классе, любят играть в футбол. Но наши девушки предпочитают играть в волейбол или баскетбол.
Зимой на уроках физкультуры мы катаемся на лыжах. Мы катаемся на спортивной площадке или в парке. Иногда, если погода холодная, мы идем кататься на коньках на катке. Мальчики также играют в хоккей на стадионе.
Многие мальчики и девочки нашего класса посещают различные спортивные секции. Я также посещаю спортивную секцию по плаванию. Три раза в неделю я хожу в бассейн. Некоторые мои друзья занимаются теннисом, легкой атлетикой, боксом и другими видами спорта.
