1. My last day off.

Yesterday it was Sunday, that’s why my last day off was not long ago and

I remember it quite well. I always try to do my best to make my holidays

really exciting, because we have only few days in a week for relaxation and

rest.

Yesterday my friends and I agreed to meet at my place. First we watched a

very interesting TV show «What? Where? When?». Then we went took a

videocassette and watched an outstanding movie «The Independence Day». This

is a story about strangers from the other planets that were trying to

conquer the whole Earth and about the struggle against them. The movie is

full of visual effects and computer graphics that takes your breath and

makes you admire the modern technologies in the cinema. I wish our studios

and directors made such movies. «The Independence Day» can be added to the

genius pieces of modern art – that is my opinion.

Having watched the film, we decided that it was a time to go outside. The

first place we went to was the sports ground. Though it was rather cold, we

put on warm clothes and had fun. Almost all day long we played soccer and

basketball.

As for me, I like weekends and holidays, as the majority of other people.

And I like telling about my holidays. It’s dull to listen about the

ordinary working day, how do you think? Every working day looks like

another, but every weekend is different from the other. During the weekend

we have an opportunity of enjoying the life and having rest.

2. The library of our institute.

«Library is a temple of books», -- somebody said. And I fully agree with

these wise words. Every person in our country elder than 14 years old, I’m

sure, was at least one time in the library. The majority of young people

has subscriptions to the libraries they like. The libraries not only give

us a vast choice of books, but also offers excellent opportunities of

having rest.

As you know, I study at the Far-Eastern State University, and I’m very

proud that its library is thought to be the one of the largest in Primorye

and even the whole Far-East.

Soon after our studies began, we had heard for a course of lectures about

the university library. We were told about the rules of using books we take

from the library and about its catalogues. Having listened to this course,

we passed an examination that showed everything we had learnt.

Soon I had to visit our library the first time as I needed a text book on

economics. I went downstairs (as library is situated in the ground floor)

and found a room I was searching for. But I didn’t get the immediately as

it was many students. So I waited for my turn. I asked to a librarian if I

could get the book on economical theory. She answered affirmatively and

soon brought me a book which name was «Modern economics». Than the

librarian asked me if it was for the first time I used the library’s

services. I answered that it was true, and she suggest me to receive

reader’s ticket. I was interested to know what documents I had to provide

for this. She told that she needed only my photo 3x4 cm and some money.

Fortunately, I had picture with myself and two minutes later I was the

owner of reader’s ticket, which proves that I am a real member of the

university library.

So, that is my story about our library. By the way, I want to say you

that I was greatly surprised the level of service in it. It was very

pleasant to meet kind librarian that was eager to help in everything you

ask.

3. A visit to a sick friend.

Everybody can fall ill with any disease. Fortunately, only cold and flu

are quite frequent in our city among infectious illnesses. They are rather

easy for the modern medicine and various pills can help you a lot in

overcoming this trouble. But, of course, being sick isn’t a pleasant way of

spending your time. In such situation friend’s participation in this

trouble can encourage you, give you moral support and even can make

yourself feel better. That’s why you always should visit your sick friends.

You must remember that tomorrow this illness may happen with you.

I always try to follow this rule. Fortunately, my friends don’t fall ill

frequent. But I remember such case that happened about 12 months ago. One

of my best school friends had fallen ill with hard form of flu. Soon I went

to his place to see him. I took some things that, as I was expecting, were

interesting for him. Among them I brought a videocassette with best game

moments of National Basketball Association. He was very glad for this

present and soon we both were enjoying the o
