The houses of parliament – тема, которая касается Соединенного Королевства и часто изучается в школьной программе английского языка. The houses of parliament – это здание парламента, известное также, как Вестминстерский дворец (Westminster Palace или The Palace of Westminster). Здание парламента находится на берегу Темзы в одном из районов Лондона – Вестминстер. Именно здесь проходят заседания Британского парламента. Говорят, что это «место встречи» двух палат парламента: палаты лордов и палаты общин.

My Friend.
| Comments Off
I would like to tell you about my friends. I have a lot of
them, but my close friend is Marina. She is my school-mate.
We have been studying together in one form all the eleven
years of our school-life. She is 17. We have nothing in common
in appearance. Marina is pretty in her own way. She is thin
and slender, not very tall. Her hair is red and straight, her
face is oval and her forehead is high. She has a turn-up nose
and beautiful green eyes with bushy eyelashes.
Marina is as good as gold. Warm-hearted and gentle,
quiet and well-bred. Everyone loves her. She is always well
dressed and neat. She is always ready to help people, when
they are in need.
My Week-day.
| Comments Off
I get up at a quarter to seven.
I jump out of bed, switch on the radio and do my morning exercises to the radio music.
Then I go to the bathroom, wash myself and clean my teeth with, a tooth-brush.
This does not take me much time, not more than ten or fifteen minutes.
Then I dress and sit down to table to have my breakfast.
I usually have a cup of tea or coffee, an egg and bread and butter.
The School I would Like.

The school I would like would have a swimming pool.
I’d have one for the first and second years and also for the third
and fourth years.
The playgrounds would be separate, one for the young children and the other for the senior forms.
A wall would be separating them and there would be a door from one playground to the other.
The Subjects We Do at School. My Favourite Subject.
| Comments Off
We did quite a lot of subjects at school.
They were: Physics, Mathematics, Biology, Russian Literature, Chemistry, English, History of this country and many other subjects.
It was rather difficult to go to school when a school-leaver, we had so much to do.
I know that all the subjects are important and they all must be payed much attention to, but still I didn’t like exact sciences.
My Flat.

We have a nice flat in a new block of flats.
Our flat is on the fourth floor.
It has all modern conveniences: central heating, gas, electricity, cold and hot water, a lift and a chute to carry rubbish down.
There are three rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom and a hall in our flat.
The living-room is the largest and most comfortable room in the flat.
