                                              New year.
A new year is a very famous celebration, that is famous from all over the world. It is celebrated the 31st of December. Before the celebration there are so much work. The whole family takes part in the organization of the celebration. Usually, women have to cook new year's dishes, maybe children have to make simple but so memorable  christmas toys, and men have to bring the christmas three, which will be decorated with all the family. 
The celebration is a real magic. Everyone of us like the most presents. Not only a thing that in the box, make you feel exiting, but the feeling, that now you'll maybe turn your wishes come true. Decorating of the christmas three is a very important event. I think without a Christmas three it will be no holiday at all. So... It's nearly 12 o'clock, and the whole family is near the table with much dishes. The Cremlin Clock count: 10, 11... 12! The new year began! Here begins a true new year holiday: everyone give to each other presents, try to suppose what will they do in the new year, and other...
After the holiday most people think, that it's not very cheerful, but I'm an optimist and for me it is the beginning of the new life, a chance to correct all my mistakes... In the new year...

I have many friends. I especially like Beata. We study at the same school but we are not the classmates. She is 15 years old as I am. My friend is very pretty and kind. She is tall and slender.  She has a round face as everyone has, a bit long nose and big cheerful grey eyes. Her skin is a bit pale but she likes this fact, she doesn't like ruddy faces. She has no freckles. Her forehead is open. I think Beata has a charming smile. Her hair isn't very short but it is not long either. It is straight and blonde. Beata has rich hair.  She is very honest and decent girl and she is very responsible and reliable. I can tell her any secret, and I'm sure that she never will tell it to anybody, so I trust my Beata. My friend is always ready to help me, because she is helpful and careful. The only thing I do not like that she is too stubborn. 
In my free time I like to walk with her in the Park or to go to the disco. Sometimes we go to the sports complex together to play tennis or basketball.Twice a week Beata and I go to the swimming pool.In bad weather we listen to music, watch movies or just play computer games.

У меня много друзей. Особенно мне нравится Беата. Мы учимся в одной школе, но мы не одноклассники. Ей 15 лет, как и мне. Моя подруга очень красивая и добрая. Она высокая и стройная. У нее круглое лицо, как у каждого, немного длинный нос и большие веселые серые глаза. Ее кожа немного бледная, но ей это нравится, она не любит румяные лица. У нее нет веснушек. Ее лоб открыт. Я думаю, что у Беаты очаровательная улыбка. Ее волосы не очень короткие, но не длинные. Они прямые и светлые. Беата имеет богатые волосы. Она очень честная и порядочная девушка, ответственная и надежная. Я могу сказать ей любой секрет, и я уверена, что она никогда не расскажет никому, так что я доверяю моей Беате. Моя подруга всегда готова мне, потому что она очень внимательная. Единственное, что мне в ней не нравится, что она слишком упрямая. 
В свободное время я люблю гулять с ней в парке или ходить на дискотеку. Иногда мы ходим в спорткомплекс вместе, чтобы поиграть в теннис или баскетбол. Дважды в неделю мы ходим в плавательный бассейн. В плохую погоду мы слушаем музыку, смотрим фильмы или просто играем в компьютерные игры.
