Today was our family's day off. So we decided to spend it together. First we decided to have Breakfast, and then went for a walk. First we went to the subway, drove there for half an hour. Then we decided to go to a Museum and see the sights, where my father liked one painting, and my mother liked the architecture, and my sister and I (or brother) saw a Mona Lisa painting, we really liked it. We walked for two hours, but then dad was called to work, we were a little upset, but dad decided to take us with him. 10 minutes later, we arrived at the tall skyscraper where my father worked. We went in, there were a lot of people there, and it was beautiful and spacious. I really enjoyed today. I like spending time with my family.

Сегодня у нашей семьи был выходной. Поэтому мы решили провести его вместе. Сначала мы решили позавтракать, а потом отправились на прогулку. Сначала мы пошли в метро, ехали там полчаса. Потом мы решили пойти в музей и посмотреть достопримечательности, где моему отцу понравилась одна картина, а маме понравилась архитектура, а мы с сестрой (или братом) посмотрели картину Моны Лизы, она нам очень понравилась. Так мы гуляли два часа, но потом папу вызвали на работу, мы немного расстроились, но папа решил взять нас с собой. Через 10 минут мы подъехали к высокому небоскребу, где работал мой отец. Мы вошли в него, там было много людей, и он был красивым и просторным. Мне очень понравился сегодняшний день. Мне нравится проводить время с семьей.
