It goes without saying that every person needs entertainment and enjoyment, free time and rest after hard work or sudy. All our activities can be divided into physical, intellectual and mental activities. Scientists prove that we can benefit from combining activities of different kinds as much as from having a rest. I study hard at school to achieve high results and get knowledge. I think that would have been impossible without activities I do in my free time. If you ask me how I usually spend my leisure time, I can say that I listen to music, spend time with my friends, cook or read books. Modern music is one of the things that makes me forget about everything. I like to listen to new records, tapes or compact disks of my favorite bands and to sing to myself when nobody hears me. Among my friends there are some who are also interested in music. Cooking is also one of my hobbies/ As for me, it is very interesting to create something very tasteful and looking attractive with irresistible flavour for the whole family. This hobby will be very helpful when becoming an adult and it may even be your second proffesion. One can't imagine modern life without books. I am not an exception. Reading is one of my favorite past times. Books help me to go away from life problems, to get into another world. Books pass over to us the knowledge and experience of previous generations, broaden our scope of vision. Regular reading enriches your knowledge about the world and helps to form your personality. The book is a faithful and undemanding friend of yours. 

Three men came to New York for a holiday. They came to a very large hotel and took a room there. Their room was on the forty-fifth floor. In the evening the friends went to the theatre and came back to the hotel very late. "I am very sorry," said the clerk of the hotel, "but the lifts do not work tonight. If you don't want to walk up to your room, we shall make beds for you in the hall." "No, no," said one of the friends, "no, thank you. We don't want to sleep in the hall. We shall walk up to our room." Then he turned to his friends and said, "It is not easy to walk up to the forty-fifth floor, but we shall make it easier. On the way to the room I shall tell you some jokes; then you, Andy, will sing us some songs; then you, Peter, will tell us some interesting stories." So they began walking up to their room. Tom told them many jokes; Andy sang some songs. At last they came to the thirty-sixth floor. They were tired and decided to have a rest. "Well," said Tom, "now it is your turn, Peter. After all the jokes, I would like to hear a sad story. Tell us a long and interesting story with a sad end." "The story which I am going to tell you," said Peter, "is sad enough. We left the key to our room in the hall."
