Структура книги построена по единым принципам. Каждая глава включает связный текст, лексический материал, речевые модели и практические задания. Такой подход позволяет не только усваивать новую лексику, но и применять её в устной и письменной речи.

Это обеспечивает практическую направленность обучения и способствует развитию мотивации.

Тексты написаны на доступном уровне сложности и соответствуют требованиям уровня A2. В них используются как простые, так и базовые сложные предложения, что позволяет постепенно расширять языковую компетенцию. При этом сохраняется естественность языка, приближённая к реальному общению.

Практические задания направлены на развитие самостоятельной речи. Учащимся предлагается отвечать на вопросы, расширять свои высказывания и использовать изученную лексику в новых контекстах. Это способствует закреплению материала и развитию уверенности при использовании английского языка.

Данное пособие может использоваться как в рамках учебного процесса, так и для самостоятельной работы. Оно ориентировано на последовательное развитие языковых навыков и формирование устойчивой базы для дальнейшего изучения английского языка.

My Typical Day

Text

My typical day usually starts at 7 a.m. I wake up when my alarm goes off, but sometimes I hit the snooze button because I feel tired. After that, I get out of bed and go to the bathroom. I wash my face, brush my teeth, and get dressed. I don’t like to hurry in the morning, but I often don’t have enough time, so I have to do everything quickly.

Then I go to the kitchen and have breakfast. I usually eat something simple like eggs or a sandwich, and I drink tea or coffee. I like to start my day with a warm drink because it helps me wake up. Sometimes I check my phone while I eat, but I try not to spend too much time on it.

After breakfast, I get ready to leave the house. If I study or work, I take my bag and make sure I have everything I need. I don’t like to forget things, so I often check my bag twice. Then I go outside and travel to my school or workplace. I usually go by bus, but sometimes I walk if the weather is nice.

During the day, I have different activities. I attend classes or do my work, and I try to stay focused. Sometimes it is easy, but sometimes I feel tired or distracted. When I have a break, I like to relax, talk to my friends, or check my messages. It helps me feel better and continue my day.

At lunchtime, I usually eat with my classmates or colleagues. We often talk about our day, share ideas, or just have fun. I like this time because it is a good way to relax and connect with people. After lunch, I go back to my tasks. The afternoon can feel long, especially when I have a lot to do.

When my day at school or work finishes, I go home. On the way home, I sometimes listen to music or think about my day. It helps me relax. When I get home, I usually take a short break. I might lie down, watch a video, or just do nothing for a while.

In the evening, I often do my homework or finish some tasks. I try to stay productive, but sometimes I feel lazy, so I need to motivate myself. After that, I have dinner. I usually eat with my family, and we talk about our day. I enjoy this time because it feels warm and comfortable.

Later in the evening, I relax. I might watch a series, read a book, or spend time online. Although I like relaxing, I try not to stay up too late because I need enough sleep.

Before I go to bed, I prepare for the next day. I pack my bag, choose my clothes, and set my alarm. Then I go to bed around 11 p.m. I usually fall asleep quickly because I feel tired after a long day.

Morning vs Evening Person

Text

People are different when it comes to their daily energy. Some people are morning people, while others are evening people. A morning person feels active and productive early in the day. An evening person feels better later in the day and often has more energy at night. I think I am somewhere in the middle, but I have some habits of both types.

Morning people usually wake up early without a problem. They feel fresh and ready to start the day. They like to begin their day with simple routines such as stretching, having breakfast, or planning their tasks. Many morning people say that they can focus better in the morning because their mind is clear. They often finish important work before lunch, so they feel relaxed later.

Evening people are different. They often find it difficult to wake up early, especially if they go to bed late. In the morning, they may feel sleepy and need more time to become active. However, in the evening, they feel full of energy. They can work, study, or be creative for many hours. Some evening people say that they have their best ideas at night because it is quiet and there are fewer distractions.

Both types have their advantages and disadvantages. Morning people have more time during the day, so they can do many things. They can also follow a schedule more easily because most schools and workplaces start early. However, they may feel tired in the evening and not have enough energy to enjoy their free time.

Evening people often enjoy their evenings more. They can relax, watch something interesting, or work on personal projects. They may feel more creative and свободными at night. However, they sometimes have problems with early schedules. If they need to wake up early, they may not get enough sleep, which can affect their mood and productivity.

In my case, I try to find a balance. I usually wake up at a normal time, but I don’t feel very active in the morning. I need some time to wake up fully, so I start my day slowly. I drink tea or coffee, check my messages, and think about my plans. After that, I feel better and can start working or studying.

In the evening, I often feel more relaxed and focused. I like to finish my tasks or do something creative. For example, I may read, write, or learn something new. Although I enjoy the evening, I try not to stay up too late because I want to have enough energy the next day.

I believe it is important to understand your own rhythm. Some people work better in the morning, while others prefer the evening. The most important thing is to organize your day in a way that helps you feel comfortable and productive.

My Weekend Routine

Text

My weekend routine is different from my weekdays because I don’t have to wake up early or follow a strict schedule. I usually feel more relaxed, and I try to spend my time in a way that makes me happy and helps me rest.

On Saturdays, I often wake up later than usual. I don’t set an alarm, so I get up when I feel ready. After I get out of bed, I take my time in the morning. I don’t like to hurry, so I move slowly and enjoy a calm start to the day. I usually have a nice breakfast, such as pancakes, eggs, or toast. I also like to drink coffee or tea and sometimes watch a video while I eat.

After breakfast, I think about my plans for the day. Sometimes I meet my friends, go for a walk, or visit a café. I enjoy spending time outside, especially if the weather is good. We can talk, laugh, and relax together. It helps me forget about stress and feel more positive.

On some weekends, I stay at home. I may clean my room, do some housework, or organize my things. Although it is not always fun, it helps me feel better and more comfortable at home. I also like to listen to music while I do chores because it makes the process easier and more enjoyable.

In the afternoon, I often do something I like. For example, I may watch a movie, play games, read a book, or learn something new. I try to use my free time in a good way. Sometimes I also spend time online, but I try not to do it all day.

In the evening, I usually relax. I might meet my friends again, go out, or stay at home and watch a series. I enjoy quiet evenings, especially after a busy week. I also like to spend time with my family. We can have dinner together and talk about different things.

On Sundays, my routine is a bit different. I try to prepare for the next week. I may do my homework, finish some tasks, or plan my schedule. I don’t want to feel stressed on Monday, so I try to get ready in advance.

I also like to rest on Sunday. I may go for a walk, listen to music, or just relax at home. It is important for me to have some quiet time because it helps me feel calm and ready for a new week.

In the evening, I prepare for Monday. I pack my bag, choose my clothes, and think about my plans. Although I sometimes feel a little sad that the weekend is over, I understand that it is part of my routine.

Overall, I try to have a balanced weekend. I relax, spend time with people, and do useful things. This helps me feel happy and ready for the week ahead.

Busy Days and Free Time

Text

In everyday life, people often have busy days and moments of free time. Both are important because they help us stay productive and also relax. Some days are full of tasks and responsibilities, while others are calmer and give us a chance to rest.

On busy days, I usually have a lot to do. I may have classes, work, homework, or other responsibilities. I often wake up early and start my day quickly because I don’t have time to waste. I try to follow my schedule and finish everything on time. Sometimes it is difficult because I feel tired or stressed, but I still try to stay focused.

During a busy day, I don’t always have time to relax. I move from one task to another and try to do everything as well as I can. Sometimes I feel under pressure, especially when I have deadlines. In these moments, I try to stay calm and organize my time. It helps me avoid mistakes and feel more confident.

Even on busy days, I understand that short breaks are important. When I feel too tired, I take a break for a few minutes. I may drink some water, check my phone, or just sit quietly. These small breaks help me continue my work and feel better.

Free time is very important for me. It helps me relax and enjoy life. When I have free time, I can do things that I like. For example, I may watch a movie, listen to music, read a book, or go for a walk. These activities help me forget about stress and feel more positive.

Sometimes I spend my free time with friends or family. We talk, laugh, and share our experiences. It is a good way to feel connected and happy. Although I like spending time with others, I also enjoy being alone. Quiet time helps me think and relax.

However, it is not always easy to find free time. If I have too many tasks, I may feel that I don’t have enough time for myself. That is why I try to plan my day and organize my schedule. When I manage my time well, I can have both productive work and relaxing moments.

In my opinion, it is important to have a balance between busy days and free time. If we only work all the time, we can feel tired and stressed. But if we only relax, we may not achieve our goals. So it is important to find the right balance.

I try to use my time wisely. I work when I need to work, and I relax when I have the chance. This helps me stay healthy, motivated, and happy.

My Favorite Place at Home

Text

Everyone has a place at home where they feel most comfortable. It can be a bedroom, a kitchen, a balcony, or even a small corner. My favorite place at home is my room because it is quiet, cozy, and personal.

I spend a lot of time in my room, so it is very important to me. It is not very big, but it has everything I need. There is a bed, a desk, a chair, and a шкаф с книгами. I like to keep my room clean and organized because it helps me feel calm and focused.

I also like the atmosphere in my room. I have some small decorations, such as photos, plants, or posters. They make the room feel more personal and уютным. I think it is important to have a space where you feel happy and safe.

When I need quiet time, I go to my room. I can close the door and be alone with my thoughts. It helps me relax and focus. Although I enjoy spending time with my family, I also need some time for myself.

Sometimes I invite my friends to my room. We talk, listen to music, or watch something together. It is a nice place to spend time because it feels comfortable and familiar.

In the evening, my room becomes even more special. I turn on a small lamp, and the light feels warm and soft. I like this calm atmosphere because it helps me relax before going to bed.

Overall, my room is my favorite place at home because it is my personal space. I can study, relax, and be myself there. It is a place where I feel comfortable and happy.

Doing Chores (Housework)

Text

Doing chores is a normal part of everyday life. Everyone needs to help at home because it keeps the house clean and comfortable. Some people enjoy doing chores, while others think they are boring. In my opinion, chores are not very exciting, but they are important and necessary.

At home, I have a few regular responsibilities. I usually clean my room, make my bed, and take out the trash. Sometimes I also help with washing the dishes or cleaning the kitchen. Although these tasks are simple, they take time and effort.

I try to do my chores regularly so that they don’t become a big problem. For example, I clean my room once or twice a week. When I keep everything organized, it is easier to find my things and I feel more comfortable. A clean space helps me relax and focus better.

One of the chores I do most often is making my bed. It only takes a few minutes, but it makes my room look much nicer. I also try to keep my desk tidy because I use it for studying. If my desk is messy, I feel distracted and it is harder to concentrate.

Washing the dishes is another common chore. I usually do it after meals. I don’t always enjoy it, but I know it is important to keep the kitchen clean. Sometimes I listen to music while I wash the dishes, and it makes the task more enjoyable.

Taking out the trash is a quick but necessary chore. I try to do it before it becomes full. It is not difficult, but I need to remember to do it on time. If I forget, it can create a bad smell and make the house uncomfortable.

Sometimes I help with bigger chores, such as cleaning the floor or organizing things in the house. These tasks take more time, but they are useful. When we do chores together as a family, it feels easier and faster.

Although chores can be boring, they teach responsibility. When I do my chores, I feel more independent and helpful. I understand that keeping the house clean is important for everyone.

I also think it is good to have a routine. When I know what I need to do, I can manage my time better. I don’t like to leave everything for the last moment because it creates stress.

Overall, doing chores is not always fun, but it is part of life. It helps me stay organized, responsible, and comfortable at home.

My Study Routine

Text

My study routine is an important part of my daily life because it helps me learn new things and stay organized. I try to follow a simple plan so that I can use my time well and avoid stress. Although I don’t always feel motivated, I understand that regular study is necessary.

I usually start studying in the afternoon or early evening. First, I take a short break after school or work, and then I get ready to study. I choose a quiet place, usually my room, because it helps me focus better. I sit at my desk, turn off distractions, and prepare everything I need, such as books, notebooks, and my laptop.

Before I begin, I often make a small plan. I think about what I need to do and decide which tasks are most important. This helps me stay organized and not waste time. I try to start with the most difficult tasks because I have more energy at the beginning.

While I study, I try to stay focused. Sometimes it is easy, but sometimes I feel distracted. For example, I may want to check my phone or watch something online. When this happens, I remind myself of my goals and try to continue. It is not always simple, but I try to do my best.

I also take short breaks during my study time. After about 30 or 40 minutes, I stop for a few minutes. I may walk around, drink some water, or relax. These breaks help me feel less tired and more focused when I return to my work.

One important part of my routine is reviewing what I learn. After I finish my tasks, I go over my notes and try to remember the main ideas. This helps me understand the material better and remember it for a longer time.

Sometimes I study alone, but sometimes I study with friends. Studying together can be helpful because we can share ideas and explain things to each other. However, I prefer studying alone when I need to concentrate on difficult tasks.

In the evening, I try to finish my work on time. I don’t like to leave everything for the last moment because it creates stress. When I complete my tasks, I feel relaxed and satisfied.

Before I go to bed, I sometimes review a little more or prepare for the next day. I organize my notes and think about what I need to do tomorrow. This helps me feel ready and confident.

Overall, I believe that a good study routine is very important. It helps me stay organized, improve my skills, and achieve my goals.

Getting Ready for the Day

Text

Getting ready for the day is an important part of my morning routine. It helps me feel prepared, confident, and ready for my activities. Although mornings can be difficult, I try to follow simple steps so that everything goes smoothly.

I usually wake up when my alarm goes off. Sometimes I feel tired and want to stay in bed, but I know I need to get up. I try not to waste time, so I get out of bed and go to the bathroom. First, I wash my face and brush my teeth. This helps me feel fresh and awake.

After that, I take a shower. I don’t always have a lot of time, so I try to be quick. A shower helps me wake up and feel more active. Then I get dressed. I usually choose my clothes in the morning, but sometimes I prepare them the night before to save time.

Choosing what to wear is not always easy. I think about the weather and my plans for the day. If it is cold, I wear something warm. If it is warm outside, I choose light and comfortable clothes. I also want to feel confident in what I wear.

After I get dressed, I go to the kitchen and have breakfast. I don’t like to skip breakfast because it gives me energy for the day. I usually eat something simple like toast, eggs, or yogurt, and I drink tea or coffee.

While I eat, I sometimes check my phone or think about my plans. However, I try not to spend too much time on my phone because it can distract me. I prefer to focus on getting ready.

Before I leave the house, I make sure I have everything I need. I check my bag and look for important things like my phone, keys, and wallet. I don’t like to forget things, so I often check twice.

I also look at the time to make sure I am not late. I don’t like to rush, but sometimes it happens. When I am ready, I put on my shoes, take my bag, and leave the house.

In my opinion, a good morning routine makes the whole day better. When I am organized and prepared, I feel more confident and less stressed.

Overall, getting ready for the day is a simple but important process. It helps me start my day in a positive way and be ready for everything.

Making New Friends

Text

Making new friends is an important part of life. It helps us feel less alone and gives us a chance to meet different people. For some people, it is easy to make new friends, but for others it can be difficult. I think it depends on personality and experience.

When I meet new people, I sometimes feel nervous at first. I don’t always know what to say, and I worry about making a good impression. However, I try to be open and friendly. I understand that many people feel the same way, so I don’t need to be perfect.

One of the best ways to make new friends is to start a simple conversation. For example, I can ask questions about hobbies, interests, or daily life. Questions like «What do you like to do in your free time?» or «What kind of music do you like?» are easy and natural. They help keep the conversation going.

Listening is also very important. When I listen carefully, I show that I am interested in the other person. People usually like it when someone pays attention to them. It helps build trust and makes communication easier.

Another important thing is to be yourself. I don’t try to act differently just to impress someone. I believe that real friendship starts when people are honest and natural. Although it may feel scary, it is better to be real than to pretend.

Sometimes I meet new people at school, work, or social events. It is easier to make friends when you spend time together and have shared activities. For example, working on a project or studying together can help people become closer.

It is also important to be patient. Not every conversation becomes a friendship, and that is normal. Some people need more time to open up. I try not to worry too much and just enjoy the process.

Social media can also help us meet new people. We can join groups, talk online, and share interests. However, I think it is important to communicate in real life as well because it helps build stronger connections.

Making new friends takes time and effort, but it is worth it. Good friends can support you, share experiences, and make your life more interesting.

Overall, I think the key to making new friends is to be open, kind, and patient. When you are friendly and honest, people feel comfortable with you, and it becomes easier to build real connections.

Key Vocabulary and Expressions

make new friends — заводить новых друзей

feel less alone — чувствовать себя менее одиноким
