Speaker A. It was my friend’s birthday recently. Silly: It took me 4 days to buy him a gift. I wanted to give him a set of paint and brushes. However, when I arrived to the art shop it was 8 p. m. and the shop only works till 7 p. m. The next day the shop was closed for some technical reason. And on the third day I found out right in front of the cash desk I found out that I’ve left my money at home. My 4th time was the last, a success.

Speaker B. A birthday is a special day for any of us. And if you want a special celebration you need to think about it beforehand. First think a list of guests. Bare mind that there shouldn’t be too many people, otherwise they will split into groups. It’s good when all the guests know each other. Ant the most important thing is to design the program of activity. Games and contests are in the center part of it.

Speaker C. On my birthday my parents took me, my two of my sisters to an amusement park. We rode the rollercoaster, had fun on the swings and ate ice-cream and sweets in the summer cafe. Then we went to a shop in center. I was supposed to choose a present by myself. And I choose a large teddy bear. It may be silly for a girl who just turned 15 but at some moment I fell like a little child.

Speaker D. When you thinking about arraigning a birthday party, you definitely thing about your menu which always includes a special cake. If you want to impress your guests, try to do it yourself. It will require lots of your time and lots of ingredients like: flavor, cream, butter, chocolate and what not. But be prepared for all kinds of the accidents, like the cake burning.

Speaker E. I often drop in to this place as it’s just on the way to my office. In the morning it’s a nice place to have a coffee and a sandwich. And at the evening when I have more time, I take some deserts like pancakes with different fittings or pudding with ice cream or a cake. They also sell huge cakes for all sorts of celebrations like birthday or wedding cakes.

Speaker A. My friend Lucy is a nice person but there are things about her that drive me mad. One of them is her way of buying clothes. She actually doesn’t buy things she tries them on. Even if the color of the dress doesn’t zoo her at all, when jeans are 3 sizes bigger than her’s, she will try them on anyway! Shopping with her takes so much time and afforts.

Speaker B. I don’t think that teenagers should wear something expensive but the clothes should be in line with their personalities. There are lots of similar looking things in the shops but if I want something really original I make it myself. I enjoy making all kinds of accessories like bags, belts, hand-made jewelry and decorations. I use different materials for this like leather, fabrics and other things.

Speaker C. I have dark brown hear and dark eyes. But my mum keeps me buying clothes in beige, brown and dark blue. She says it’s elegance and practical, but I definitely prefer something in liker. Or ultra yellow. Green is so bright, but it still looks natural. Yellow and orange remind me of the sun and uplift my mood. They are bright enough even in gloomy winter day.

Speaker D. Young people usually prefer active lifestyle. And this means that their closes should be comfortable, practicable and fashionable too. The best clothes for teens have been usually jeans, t-shirts and jumpers. They can be in different colors from dark ones to bright ones, different in style either plane or with prints and accessories but they are always trendy and fit for any occasion.

Speaker E. I normally don’t like shopping for closes as it takes so much time and I simply don’t find it interesting, but when I go to see my friend I always drop in to a shop on the corner near her house. You can find all kinds of hand-made clothes and accessories there. I bought a scarf and a pair of gloves there for myself. And I also buy all kind of presents there for my friends.

Speaker A. I love sports. But I’ve never been very extreme. Recently my friend had a ski holyday it the mountains. But I chose to stay at home. First: I hate cold. I don’t enjoy staying outdoors longer than half an hour. Second: I found ski boots so heavy and uncomfortable. And the last but the main reason: is that I could fall over and hurt myself.

Speaker B. I think that winter is the best season of the year and I take every opportunity to do winter sports. I like skiing best of all. First of all it’s very exciting to ski down the slope. Lots of people from different places go to skiing and I like to meet new friends. And finally, when you ski you enjoy the wonderful nature, the beautiful landscape and the fresh air of the mountains.

Speaker C. I sometimes go to the ski resorts with my friends. However, when I first tried this sport it was a great failure. I spent about half an hour putting the boots on! They were heavy, and it was difficult to move in them. Anyway, I got to the hill and fastened the skies and started to slide down! I wasn’t able to stop! It was really frightened. At last, I fell over and stopped. Very painful.

Speaker D. I ski quite serious and I often take part in different competitions: local, national, international. Safety is very important for this sport. Apart from quality skies, good boots are important. They should be strong and high to protect the ankles. The helmet is also necessary. I also wear sport glasses and the skiing mask to protect my face from the sun, the wind and the snow.

Speaker E. When we go skiing we always stay in one and the same hotel, it’s in a very beautiful place in the mountains and sometimes even the international competitions are held there. Apart from several ski centers where we hire skies there are restaurants there and medical center, different souvenir shops and several ski-lifts that can take you up to the top of the mountains very quikly.
