In summer many people love being in the countryside. Young people today make good use of their leisure time. You are one of them. I’m fond of reading, especially British and American literary classics. I’d like to comment

on the book which has made a great impression on me.

this term. It has made a greater impression on me.

I enjoy reading E. Hemingway's books/stories. I’d like to recommend you to read the book

the old Man and the Sea.

Sending postcards to my friends / relatives/ parents when I’m on holiday is my hobby.

I’d like to present one of them to you.

When I’ on holiday, I usually prefer to do the following… Watching different TV programmers is my friend’s hobby. The other day I saw an exciting film and enjoyed it. I wish I could share my impressions

and views about it.

Talking about people’s hobbies may be an exciting activity. As for me I prefer… Films and video programmers can tell us a lot about the country in which they are made; e. g., I’ve learned a lot about the USA while watching the video programme Family Album, USA.

Daily life/ Social life/ Social problems/ People’s relations/ Education/

Work/ Professions

professional career.

country life.

When people feel unwell, they go… When I’ve got a cold or flu, I… People go to see doctors… The discussion of such problems as pollution and the protection of the environment are

vital and important for the future of humankind.

Tell us what you hope to do after you’ve graduated from Voronezh Pedagogical University. Making a difference is a vital/ urgent social problem. Personally I think that the twenty first century problems will be the following. As I’m a young person, I can present viewpoints on the problems of youth.

young people who might be interested…

One of my future plans is connected with taking a four week’s holiday before starting work.

I think teachers should make learning English enjoyable for their students.

If you don’t think about the future, you will not have it. How about your future plans? My thoughts about the future work are closely connected with the problem of career choices. English in my life. The role of literature in our life is great. Your personal opinion of this problem. My future plans are connected… I’m so concerned about my future professional career/ future work after my graduation

from the university.

Marriages and weddings in people’s life.

The USA and the UK.

Learning English with Family Album, USA is helpful in mastering this ment on the geographical position of the USA/UK. Give a brief review of famous American /British sites.
