На английском языкеПеревод на русский языкMy Favourite WeatherМоя любимая погодаEverybody knows that there are four seasons in a year. They are winter, spring, summer and autumn. In my opinion all seasons are precious and nice in their own way. For example, in winter when it snows outside, I like staying in my room under the warm blanket with a cup of hot tea in my hands and the cat beside me. On such days I like reading interesting books and magazines, or chatting with my friends online. The first half of spring is rather cold, so I simply go to school and back. Long walks in the woods are not a good idea, as it often snows and rains. The level of humidity is rather high. The second part of spring is warmer. Starting from the middle of April, the days are sunnier and longer. I like such weather, as I often meet up with friends. Summer in my region is rather hot. Some people decide to go to the seaside, others - to ski resorts. I belong to people, who spend summer at the seaside. Together with my family we go to hot countries, such as Turkey, Greece or Egypt. Most of all I like swimming in the sea and sunbathing. Autumn approaches unexpectedly. While September is still warm and sunny, October and November can be rather rainy and cold. My favourite weather falls on the end of September and the beginning of October. This time of the year is called Indian summer. It offers the most comfortable temperature. It’s neither too hot nor cold, so most people enjoy this season. In some regions Indian summer can last up to the middle of November. In my opinion, it’s an interesting phenomenon to have a warm, dry and sunny weather in the middle of autumn. That’s why I like this weather most of all.Всем известно, что в году четыре сезона. Это зима, весна, лето и осень. На мой взгляд, все времена года прекрасны и хороши по-своему. Например, зимой, когда за окном идет снег, мне нравится оставаться у себя в комнате, лежать под теплым одеялом с чашкой горячего чая в руках и кошкой рядом со мной. В такие дни я люблю читать интересные книги и журналы, или общаться в чате с друзьями. В первой половине весны довольно холодно, поэтому я просто хожу в школу и обратно. Длительные прогулки в лесу не очень хорошая идея, так как часто идет снег и дождит. Уровень влажности довольно высок. Вторая часть весны теплее. Начиная с середины апреля, дни становятся более солнечными и длинными. Мне нравится такая погода, так как я могу часто гулять с друзьями. Лето в моем регионе довольно жаркое. Некоторые люди отправляются к морю, другие - на горнолыжные курорты. Я принадлежу к людям, которые проводят лето на морском побережье. Вместе со своей семьей мы едем в жаркие страны, например, в Турцию, Грецию или Египет. Больше всего мне нравится плавать в море и загорать. Осень приближается незаметно. В то время как сентябрь еще теплый и солнечный, октябрь и ноябрь могут быть довольно дождливыми и прохладными. Моя любимая погода приходится на конец сентября и начало октября. Это время года у нас называется бабьим летом. На этот период приходится самая комфортная температура. Не слишком жарко и не особо холодно, так что большинство людей любят этот сезон. В некоторых регионах бабье лето может затянуться до середины ноября. На мой взгляд, это интересное явление в середине осени наблюдать теплую, сухую и солнечную погоду. Вот почему я люблю эту погоду больше всего.

I have always loved all kinds of ball games. In school we were taught many games, told rules and strategies. I did not hesitate and immediately realized that volleyball is one of the most interesting games.

I like that the game involved two teams, like many sports games with the ball. The contrast with football is that the team plays as a whole. There is no such a big field, so the players can support you at any time.

Other pluses of this game are the rules. All is simple and clear: two teams with the main task to score a goal for the opponents. In the volleyball game there are no permanent roles and responsibilities. Each team player is able to stand in different areas of the field: near the net, in the center and at the pitcher's.

I love this game because it is relatively quiet. During the game there is no time to be distracted, you're always focused on the ball and on the actions of the opponent. Despite the fact that this game doesn't require big calculations and need to run across the field from side to side, all the muscles of your body are still tense. Of course, in the first place are your hands. They are always in tension, ready to take the blow of the opponent. But feet are also involved in the game, because you jump very often.

I spend hours watching as the ball hovers in the air, and players are struggling to get it. The game itself looks very aesthetically pleasing and graceful. All the movements are perfect, balanced. When the ball touches a player's hand, it flies away from the hand, emitting a dull sound.

My favourite sport is volleyball. It develops in me many qualities such as precision, restraint and balance. And what is most important, after each game I feel stronger. Because sport is movement and movement is our life.
