Both of us like listening to music too, and we like dancing at parties if the music’s really good! Jane’s better at music than me – she enjoys playing the guitar when she’s at home. We like different sports – Jane often goes running in the park in the morning but I prefer swimming in the pool or in the river. I like drawing pictures at school in the Art lessons, but Jane’s favourite subject is English because she loves reading books. There’s one thing we both hate – playing computer games.

My future profession
Centuries ago there were only a few jobs. Today there are thousands of different kinds of jobs, and new ones are constantly appearing. And the problem of choosing the future profession has always been very important and difficult matter because it determines our future life in many ways. It is one of the most important decisions for every person. As for me, I had decided to be a fashion designer in future. I want to show a creative side of my art ability. I think I influenced myself to wanting to become a fashion designer because I have a passion for art. I enjoy making sketches of clothing that one day will hopefully be available in stores all over. In my opinion fashion designing is a way to express the unique side of your creativity, also fashion designing is a career that I believe I can achieve in so highly if I stay focused and continue to putting effort in my creations. Also I think about being a linguist. I like to learn new languages and I can learn really fast. I watch some Norwegian TV shows and I can speak Norwegian a little bit. Also I spoke Russian before going to school by watching cartoons. In my early ages I also wanted to become an investigator, but I'm not sure about it. I got inspirited when I started watching detective movies. I think I won't be an investigator, because I'm mainly thinking about being a designer or linguist.



English weather
The weather in England is very changeable. A fine morning can change into a wet afternoon and evening. And a nasty morning can change to a fine afternoon. That is why it is natural for the English to use the comparison “as changeable as the weather” of a person who often changes his opinion about something. The English often say: “Other countries have climate, in England we have weather”. The English also say that they have three variants of weather: when it rains in the morning, when it rains in the afternoon or when it rains all day long. The weather is the favourite conversational topic in England. When two Englishmen meet, their first words will be: “How do you do?” or “How are you?” And after the reply: “Very well, thank you, how are you?” the next remark to be about the weather. The best time of the year in England is spring though it rains in spring too. The two worst months in Britain are January and February. They are cold, damp and unpleasant. The best place in the world then is at home by the big fire. Summer months are rather cool and there can be a lot of rainy days. So most people who look forward to summer holidays plan to go abroad for the summer. The most unpleasant aspect of English weather is fog and smog, especially in London. Cars move along slowly. People cannot see each other. They walk along the houses touching them with their hands not to lose their way.


Եղանակը Անգլիայում շատ փոփոխական էՀաճելի առավոտը կարող է դառնալ խոնավ օր և երեկո: Եվ մռայլ առավոտը կարող է դառնալ հաճելի օր: Այդ պատճառով է, որ Անգլիացիները օգտագոծրում են այս արտահայտությունը «փոփոխական է ինչպես եղանակը», երբ ինչ որ մեկը հաճախ փոխում է իր կարծիքը ինչ որ բանի մասին: Անգլիացիները հաճախ ասում են «ուրիշ երկրները ունեն կլիմա, իսկ Անգլիան ունի եղանակԱնգիացիներնել են ասում, որ իրենք ունեն եղանակի երեք տարբերակ. երբ անձրևում է առավոտյան, երբ անձրևում է ցերեկը կամ ամբողջ օրը: Անգլիացիների սիրելի խոսակցության թեման եղանակն է: Երբ երկու անգլիացիներ հանդիպում են, նրանց առաջին արտահայտությունը կլինի «Ինչպես եք», իսկ պատասխանը՝ «Շատ լավ, շնորհակալ եմ, իսկ դուք ինչպես եք», հաջորդ թեման կլինի եղանակի մասին: Անգլիայում տարվա ամենալավ ժամանակը գարունն է, չնայած որ գարնանը նույնպես անձրևում է: Երկու ամենավատ ամիսները Անգլիայում՝ հունվարը և փետրվարն ենԱյդ ժամանակ շատ ցուրտ է, խոնավ և տհաճ: Այնտեղ ամենալավ վայրը տունն է՝ բուխարիի դիմաց: Ամռանը զով է և այդ ժամանակ էլ շատ անձրևոտ օրեր կարող են լինել: Այսպիսով մարդկանց մեծ մասը գնում է արտասահման: Անգլիայում ամենա տհաճ եղանակն է, երբ մառախուղ է՝ հատկապես Լոնդոնում: Մեքենաները շատ դանդաղ են շարժվում: Մարդիկ չեն կարողանում տեսնել միմյանց: Նրանք քայլում են տների շուրջը դրանց ձեռք տալով ճանապարհը չկորցնելու համար:
