About an artist. Today I want to tell about a woman. Her name is Natalya. And she is an artist. She teaches to draw my daughter. It is a very nice woman middle-aged. She has dark hair, brown eyes and a kind smile. I think she is very talented. I visited her exhibition last autumn. There were a lot of beautiful paintings. Most I liked one of them. There was depicted a quite street in a small town near the sea. It was a summer sunny day. I stood near the painting and felt midday heat and light breeze of the sea. South trees casted a shadow on white stone walls of houses. There was quietly and cosily. I went around the exhibition and returned to my favorite painting. Yes, it was the best.

Tuesday and Thursday. Foreign words behave differently. Some of them learn easy. They stay in a memory quickly . Other words we must learn by rote. But there are words that don’t want learn not for the world. For me such words were Tuesday and Thursday. They were as two cousins for me. They mean names days of a week and they have about the same a set of letters. I couldn’t remember them. There is a story about Napoleon. When he introduced with somebody he wrote new name three times and remembered forever. I decided to use this method. I’m don’t Napoleon so three times this very few for me. Therefore I took the pencil and the notebook and started to write. I wrote two words for a long time until my hand get tired. I hope these words imprinted in my memory now for long.

About a musical school. I dreamed to play piano in childhood. My parents bought piano and sent me to a musical school. All children want get all and right away. Namely to sit down and play like those people playing piano at the concert. I had to train gamma and learn boring exercises instead of this several hours of a day. I did not want it. I wanted watch cartoons, read books, walking with my friends and to do other interesting things. Of course I finished education and learned play different music. But a desire to do it disappeared. Many years late I can not play anything. I forgot on how to do it. But I think my classes music were not useless. Firstly I learned perseverance and patience. Secondly I knew a lot of famous composers, their biographies, histories of creation world-famous works. Thirdly I took a fancy classical music. Naturally I do not hear it all days. Most of music in my playlist are pop and rock groups. But I appreciate classical music and I hear favorite things at a suitable mood.

Reading. My family likes reading. We take books in a city library. It is pleasure – to go among shelves with books and look over them. My husband likes the technical literature and biographies of famous people. I like romantic novels and fantasy. My older daughter likes fairy tales with pictures. My younger daughter likes children’s verses with a lot of multicolored pictures.

Swimming I could not swim. My husband taught me swimming. It was our first holiday together. We went to the Black Sea. There was wonderful! I take a fancy to noise and smell of sea, his power. I wanted to swim like as other people. But I feared a water and a deep. My husband urged me to try. He became my trainer. It was not easy. But I did it! At the end of holiday I swum. Of course I did this not very well. My fear of a deep was not disappear. Therefore I was swimming along a coast that any time to feel a bottom. But it was really swim and I enjoyed this action.

About cooking. I like cook a meal. My family love to eat this meal. My older daughter helps me. She likes to peel and to slice vegetable, to salt anything, to add spice. She feels herself adult do it. I see to her and remember myself in childhood. I liked to help my mother too.

About roller skates. Once I with my friend went in a park. There were a lot of people, which ride roller skates. My friend said, what it is easy, and she can to do it too. I wanted to try. It was terrible! Legs did not obey me and disperse to any side. I caught my friend, and hanged on her myself as on a hanger. People, which walked around, saw on me and smiled. I regretted what I do it. I come home and decided, what I have to start differently. I found in the internet information about lessons roller skates. Next Saturday we went there. There were novices such as me. At first me unhooked from my friend. Then teached me to stop. Then push away, and to drive to right direction. It was breathtakingly! A month later we loosely skated in a park every weekend. Sometimes we went there in the evening after work. It was a very good time.

About winter and summer Winter is be different color. Sometimes it is white. Then it is snow, frost, ski run in spruce forest, snowman near a house, frozen nose and hands in mittens. Sometimes it is gray. Then it is drizzling rain, which couldn’t be snow, morose clouds, and Christmas garland on skeletons trees. Sometimes it is varicolored. Then it is greenery of palm trees, yellowness of sand, and azure of ocean. What is it summer? It is different too. It is funny and boring, hot and cool, quiet and noisy, dry and rainy, but always favorite!
