перевод текста:
Вчера было воскресенье. Погода была хорошая и было не очень холодно. Земля и деревья были белыми от снега. Утром мама сказала мне: «Миша, ты должен убраться в своей комнате, а потом можешь пойти гулять днем. Сегодня прекрасный день».
Вскоре после завтрака я прибрался в своей комнате. Я вытерла пыль со стола,
книжный шкаф и книжные полки, подметали пол и поливали цветы. Потом я пошел гулять в парк. Я взял коньки и
катался в парке с друзьями. В два часа я пришел домой. После обеда ко мне пришел мой друг Гриша. Мы играли в игры и говорили о нашей школе и нашем классе. Затем мы увидели
новый фильм по телевидению, очень интересный. Днем родителей не было дома, они пошли к другу, у которого был день рождения. Вечером читаю русскую книгу. Когда родители вернулись домой, я был рад их видеть.
