(Мой лучший друг),, My best friends name is (Mariya). We study at the same school. I've known her for 5-6 years. If you see her, you'll like her at once. She is a pretty girl with long dark hair , but I like her not for her beauty. Mariya is very smart. She is always knows the answer to the teacher's questions. She is very diligent student and is always ready with her homework. Mariya is a very good friend. She is eager to help, when her help is needed. When I have problems, she is the first to comfort me. I also try to help her and to support her in any situation. We share a lot of our secrets. I am sure, her advice is the best one, because she understands me.It seems to me, we've known each other for ages. Mariya's family is also very nice. She lives with her parents. They seem to be a very friendly family. We enjoy parties, so we often organize them for our friends. Then we cook something tasty, watch TV, dance and have lot of fun. I'm sure we will remain best friends forever.

Our flat faces the south and it's very light.
The sitting room is large. There is a dining table with four chairs, two cupboards, two armchairs, a sofa. There is a TV, a stereo, a computer. There are also several book-shelves. We have a few plants at the window. My parents and I like to gather in the sitting room in the evening to watch TV and to talk.
In the bedrooms we have beds and wardrobes, lamps, mirrors. The floor is covered with a thick carpet.
In the kitchen we have running cold and hot water, a stove, a fridge. There is a kitchen table , a cupboard and 2 shelves, a radio.
We often invite guests to our place. Everybody agrees that our home is very nice and hospitable.

3. Хобби

My hobby is travelling.
Modern life is impossible without travelling. Millions of people all over the world spend their holidays travelling. I travel to see other countries and continents, modern cities and the ruins of ancient towns, I travel to enjoy picturesque places or just for a change of scene.It is always interesting to discover new things, to see different ways of life, to meet different people, to try different food, to listen to different music.
I like to travel by train. I can always see the country side around me.
We have a car and I like to travel by car too. We can stop whenever  we like. We start from our frond door and take any road we like.
I like hiking too. Walking through the wood or along the river, having a rest on the shore of the forest lake, climbing a mountain. I can feel myself as a part of nature. What a great experience!
When I travel I can see and learn a lot of things that I can never see or learn at home.
