MY DAY OFF

I usually study 6 days a week. When my lessons are over, I'm very tired and I hurry home. I help my mother about the house.

But when the weekend comes I try to enjoy it as much as I can. I'm fond of music and I listen to the songs of Russian and foreign composers. So when I have an opportunity I go to S. Sadykova's concert hall or to any other cultural palaces. There are often concerts, ballets, musical comedies, performances there on.

I'm lucky because I've got a ticket for the Saturday concert. Oleg Gazmanov and the group "Lyube" will come to our town. I am sure I'll enjoy the music and the singing very well. On Sunday I am going to the picture gallery. There is an exhibition of famous Russian paintings there.

So from Saturday afternoon till Monday morning students are usually free. We may go for a walk with our friends, go to the cinema, theatre or disco.

If we stay at home we try to have a good time, too. We watch TV, read books and work on a computer.

My parents like to relax after a hard week, too. They like to go out on Saturdays.
