My Free Time

My name is Taras. I am in the sixth form. I don’t have much free time. After lessons I go to the art school. I do arts and crafts. I’m fond of English and I study English three times a week. In the evening I do my homework. I like meeting my friends at weekends. I can’t stand riding a bicycle. Sometimes we go to the cinema. After the movie we usually discuss it. My friends and I love watching comedies very much.

When the weather is bad, I spend my free time at home. I prefer to watch my favourite TV shows or to read books. My favourite writer is Joan Rowling. She wrote the book about Harry Potter. I’m trying to read it in English now. My parents and I often go to visit my grandmother in the village. We help her in the garden and about the house. I always discuss my school problems with my parents. They advise me a lot of interesting things that I can do when I have free time.

The Birds and the Frog

The frog lived in a lake. She had two friends – two big birds. But the birds wanted to go to another lake.

“My good friends, take me with you,” said the frog.

“Very well,” said one of the birds. “I will take one end of the stick, my friend will take the other end, and you must take the stick in your mouth in the middle. But you must not speak!”

So, one bird took one end of the stick in the beak, another bird took the other end. The frog took the stick in the mouth in the middle and they flew to another lake.

When they flew, they saw children in the field and the children saw the birds, too.

“Oh, look!” they cried. “What is it? What are the birds carrying? Is it a big clock?”

The frog opened her mouth and cried, “I’m not a clock! I’m a frog!”

And frog fell down to the ground!

Why Hares Have Split Lips

All the hares met under a big tree. The oldest hare said, “Our life is very unhappy. We are afraid of everybody, but nobody is afraid of us.”

“Oh, yes!” said the other hares. “We are afraid of dogs, and we run away from them. We are afraid of cats and run away from them. We run away from all the animals.”

“Our life is very unhappy. It is better to go to the river and get drowned.”

Near the river there were many goats. When the goats saw many hares, they ran away.

The hares began to laugh. They understood that the goats were afraid of them. The hares laughed and laughed. They laughed so much that their lips split.

And that is why hares have split lips now.
