Я живу в Москве, в районе Химки. У нас есть универмаг «Липпулайва», а в нём – детский парк, в котором много аттракционов: трамплин, кривое зеркало, горка для лазанья, горка для катания, стена для лазания, «стрелялки» и игровые автоматы.

        Я хожу туда почти каждую неделю по вторникам, потому что тогда продают два билета за одну цену. Мои самые любимые аттракционы – трамплин и надувная горка. Я провожу в детском парке два часа, и они пролетают незаметно. Я хожу туда со своей подругой, и нам там бывает очень весело. Когда нам становится жарко, мы покупаем фанту и иногда попкорн.

 

I live in Moscow, near the front of Khimki . We have a department store "Lippulayva", and in it - a children's park, which has many attractions: a springboard, distorting mirror, hill climbing, hill for skiing, climbing wall, "shooter" and slot machines.

         I go there almost every week on Tuesdays, because then sell two tickets for one price. My favorite rides - trampoline and inflatable slide. I am in the children's park for two hours, and they pass by. I go there with my girlfriend and we were there is a lot of fun. When it becomes hot, we buy Fanta and sometimes popcorn.

Rock MusicРок-музыкаMusic plays an integral part in everyone’s life. It’s one of the most important and powerful tools. It can cheer you up when you are sad, help you cope with stress, simply relax and motivate. As for me, I often listen to music: at home, on the way to school, in my dad’s car, when travelling, at parties and in many other occasions. Even though I like almost all types of music, my favourite style is rock. Rock music is the best remedy for me in any situation. I know that its peak of popularity was in the middle of the 20th century. However, it still attracts young people in every corner of the world. Rock is also connected with various youth subcultures, such as punks, hippie, metalheads, goths, emo. Despite its often defiant lyrics, rock music helps to express one’s personality and to release the accumulated emotions. Also, while listening to rock music, people can notice some urgent problems that worry youth. Sometimes people associate rock with rock and roll. The style appeared in the USA of 1950s and soon spread across Europe. One of the most influential figures of rock and roll was Chuck Berry – the Afro-American performer. His music is still respected and cherished. Some of my favourite modern rock bands include Linkin Park, Muse, Green Day and Red Hot Chili Peppers. My parents think that these bands play aggressive and foolish music, but I don’t agree. In my opinion, rock music makes sense. It’s rather meaningful and melodic.
