There are many interesting and exciting things to do when you are spending your free time.
Each person has his interests and hobbies such as reading books, watching TV, collecting something, visiting museums and other places of interest, skiing, skating, swimming, fishing, going in for sports and many others.
One can’t live without friends, especially teenagers.
School is the place where the real friendship begins. But it’s not easy to meet a true and faithful friend.
A real friend is the one who is ready to share not only your joys but all your sorrows and troubles.
Mу hobby is collecting stamps. When I was still a baby, my mother began collecting for me.
Of course she didn’t let me touch the stamps until I was old enough. I remember that it was on my fifteenth birthday that she first put them into my hands. They were in five albums, but since then I have added three more, so that now I have a bigger collection than any of my friends.

Summer is wonderful. There is no school and the holidays are long.
I usually spend my summer holidays in the country at my grandmother’s. I like the place. There is a nice river and the woods, where my friends and I can gather berries and mushrooms.

People keep dogs, cats, rabbits, parrots as pets. I am fond of animals. I’ve read a lot of books about pets.
