When a school-girl I always envied those students who went to school five but not six days a week, as we did. So you may guess, I had the only day off — Sunday. On Sunday, I didn't have to hurry anywhere, that's why, I got up at nine or ten o'clock. I wasn't an early riser.
I did my bed, washed myself and went to the kitchen. In the kitchen the table had already been laid and I always had something tasty on Sunday: fried potatoes, meat salad or my favourite apple pies. After breakfast, if the weather was sunny, I usually didn't stay indoors, I went to see my friends.
We often played volleyball or basket-ball in the yard and in winter if there was much snow out-of-doors we went skating and skiing in the woods. But sometimes the day happened to be rainy and gloomy.
I preferred to be in watching TV, listening to music, reading books, speaking over the phone or just lying on the sofa idling away the time. Some of my classmates could watch all TV-programmes from morning till night, but I think it's rather boring, and I always felt sorry for those TV-addicts.
It's much more interesting to play a game of chess with your grandfather, or help your mother about the house, or argue with your father about the latest events at home and abroad. In the evening, when all the family were together, we had some tea with a cake or biscuits, we listened to my younger sister playing the piano, sometimes we sang folk songs.
Every Sunday, when I went to bed, I was thinking that the day had flashed past and the next week would bring new problems and their solution.

ПЕРЕКЛАД
Коли я вчилася в школі, я завжди заздрила студентам, які навчалися п'ять, а не шість днів в тиждень, як ми. Як ви можете здогадатися, у мене був один вихідний - неділя. У неділю мені не треба було нікуди поспішати, тому я вставала в дев'ять чи десять годин.
Я заправляла ліжко, вмивалася і йшла на кухню. Стіл на кухні був уже накритий, і я завжди їла що-небудь смачненьке по неділях: смажену картоплю, м'ясний салат або мої улюблені пироги з яблуками. Після сніданку, якщо погода була сонячною, я не сиділа вдома, а йшла побачити своїх друзів.
Ми часто грали в волейбол чи баскетбол у дворі, а взимку, коли на вулиці було багато снігу, ми ходили в ліс кататися на ковзанах і на лижах. Іноді траплялося, що дні були дощовими і похмурими.
Я вважала за краще сидіти вдома: дивитися телевізор, слухати музику, читати книги, спілкуватися по телефону або просто лежати на дивані і гаяти час. Деякі мої однокласники могли дивитися все телепередачі з ранку до вечора. Але думаю, що це дуже втомлює, і мені завжди було шкода телеманів.
Набагато цікавіше зіграти в шахи з дідусем або допомогти мамі по дому, або посперечатися з татом з приводу останніх подій в країні і за кордоном. Увечері, коли вся сім'я була в зборі, ми пили чай з тортом або печивом, слухали, як моя молодша сестра грає на піаніно. Іноді ми співали народні пісні.
Щонеділі, коли я лягала спати, я думала про те, що день промчав, а наступний тиждень принесе нові проблеми і їх рішення.
