Contrasts of my sisters

I have two sisters. One is older then me, the other is younger. I love them both even they are absolutly different.

My oldest sister is a big-sized woman. The younger sister is skiny, and does everything she can to prevent gaining weight. You can easily guess which one likes to eat tasty food and does it in a big quantity. And which one likes fashion and spends all of her time in the beauty salons.

Also, you don't need to be very smart to figure out which one spends all their time at home and who goes out to performances and dancing. But I think all of that depends on age and status. My oldest sister is thirty five and she has two children while my youngest sister is twenty one and single.

My sisters are two opposites, but it is really fun to spend time with them together.

How to clean up your house in ten minutes when you receive a phon call from a friend who is arriving shortly to see you.

Cleaning house in ten minutes is posible. If your home is very dirty, to clean everything you need to spend more than an hour so it is better to close all of the bedrooms and concentrate on the living room and restroom. It's easier if you live with somebody and he or she helps you clean. One of you cleans the living room, the other goes to fix the restroom and kitchen. In case it is a big mess, just pick up everything and put it in a bedroom; but don't forget to close the door. If you have a pet, try to explain to it that it's not a good time to show it's regular behavior and to not walk on the middle of the table while everybody is eating. Don't forget the balcony, it also should appear clean. Accordingly, when your friend finally arrives give him or her some cocktail. After a couple of them, your friend will not to pay a lot of attention to what is going on around and everybody will relax and feel happy.

All the places I have visited on vacation.

I can say that I have been to a lot of places. My family and I like to travel. When I lived with my parents we went all around my country.You can believe me that Russia is a big country. Also we spent two years in Syria but it wasn't vacation, so it doesn't count.When I grow up I started to trevel on my own. I went to China and South Korea. I like China very much. Some places in China are very dirty and stinky, but I belive in time it will be gone. China is a country full of hard-working people who work like ants, fast and hard.

In South Korea, I met my husband. Now I travel with him. We went to Japen. It's a very clean and nice country. It feels like the future, everything is electronical and conputer-based.

We also were on Hawaii. I love Hawaii. It was the first warm place for me. When I retire I would like to live on Hawaii.

Also we went to diferent places in the USA. The place I like the most is Monhatten New York. I think it is the center of the world.

I like to travel, I like going to new places. I hope that we will be able to go in a lot more othere countries, islands and cities. I think that a vacation is fun and whan you go to some interesting place, it is double fun.

My Family Kitchen

My kitchen is so small that it doesn't even deserve to be described. I want to talk about my parents kitchen.

Their kitchen wasn't very big, but it was very nice. In the middle of the kitchen was a big square table. On the windows were curtains sewed by my mom. My mom liked to spend time in the kitchen. I can't say that she was a great chef, so our kitchen ofen smelled like burnt food. She could cook a few dishes and I stil remember their specific taste.

My family liked to drink tea. We could spend hours drinking aromatic tea with delicious cookies bought in the shop next door.

I miss those times, that lovely atmospher in my mom's kitchen.

Hi, my name is Veronika. It's spelled with "k", that causes me a lot of problems. I work in big store and my name is on my badge. People always ask me, "How do you pronounce your name?", "Where are you from?" and, "What are you doing here?" If I could change just one letter, my life would be a lot easier. I coud avoid all those annoying questions, but it is not so easy. Every time I try to say something, everyone can hear my strong russian accent:).
