For example, I am fond of dancing and cycling. Besides, I like music. As for my friends, they like swimming, horse riding, reading books, and various kinds of sport.
As I have said above, I go in for dancing. I’ve been dancing for 10 years. Usually we have classes 3 or 4 times a week. But in summer we practise almost every day. There are about 20 girls in our group. We often take part in international festivals and competitions of various levels. Usually we are awarded for our performances. Our teacher, Victoria Vladimirovna, keeps a lot of our cups and other prizes, and we have many icons and certificates for memory.
When a school year is over, my family rests in the country. I like this place very much. We have a nice country house there. There is a big forest nearby. Usually we grow beautiful flowers, tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, onion, cucumbers, and strawberry in our country garden.We often gather mushrooms and berries in the forest. My neighbours and I like to play volleyball, basketball, and other sporting games. Besides, we like cycling. There are no asphalt roads in the country, although there are a lot of paths there. So we are ready to ride our bikes along the paths from morning till night.
All my friends have different hobbies. The most popular is music. My friends Varya and Dasha play the piano and the guitar. They like it very mach. By the way, I can also play the guitar a little. Sometimes, when I have free time, I sit down onto the sofa, sing a song and play the guitar. Some of my classmates attend musical schools. I think they can play the piano, the guitar, the drums, and the violin very well.
There is a famous racecourse in Ramenskoye. A well-known commander Semyon Budyonny took part in the opening of this racecourse. Some of my friends are fond of horse racing. They train 2 or 3 times a week. I think horses are very kind and intelligent animals, though some of them have naughty characters.
