My Hobby

My hobby is landscape photography. I like to come to the coast of the Black Sea at dawn and take landscape photos. During these moments, I feel happy. All I need is my DSLR camera, tripod and one hour at dawn.  Also I like to photograph cats. You can see my photos on my web site <a href="http://www.jaydee.com.ua">www.jaydee.com.ua</a>.

I am Mary

My name is Mary.  I am 20 years old.  I was born on February 7th, 1993, in the town of Gay. Gay is a small town in the Orenburg area.  I am living in Magnitogorsk now.  I am a student and I study at Magnitogorsk State Technical University.  I plan to be a marketing specialist.

I like to read books. My favorite writers are Remark, Dostoevsky and Bulgakov.  I listen to rock music and my favorite band is Poets of the Fall.

I like animals.  I have a dog.

A Wind Band Rehearsal

Yesterday, a wind band rehearsal took place near the orthodox church. The band will play a concert on May 28th, but I could not get tickets for the performance.  The rehearsal was a good opportunity to listen to the concert from good seats. 

The band played military marches, Kalinka-malinka, and so on. The highlight of the concert was a cantata, "Glory, Glory to you, holy Rus'!" from Glinka’s opera “Life for the tsar.”

When the cantata was ending, the church bells began to ring. Some people thought that the church was calling people for a service, but I knew the ringing of bells was the composer's idea. When the rehearsal ended, I saw a bell ringer, a young priest in black, approaching to the band-master. It seemed he was asking about his bell ringing. The band-master praised him with great enthusiasm, “Great! It was a splendid ringing! And exactly in time!” The young priest appeared to light up.

Then another rehearsal started. I liked how the trumpets, flutes, tambours, bells and even guns clattering on bricks merged in this patriotic musical composition.

I also like another of Glinka's patriotic compositions, "Patriotic Song," which was the national anthem of Russia from 1990 to 2000.  I wonder how it changed from the Soviet anthem?

Today is Sunday

I feel incomplete if I can't go to church even just once a week. 

It is summer season here.  I don't want to go outside, it is so hot.

Introduction：My hobbies

Hi, I am a senior student.  My major is advertising and I will be a postgraduate student this year.

I love movies very much.  The first Hollywood movie I saw was Resident Evil One.  It was very terrifying but impressive.  When I was a junior high school student, I saw The Matrix.  I still remember, when the movie was over I doubted that this world was real.  The movie showed reality from a different perspective.  Since then, I have seen Jurassic park, Star Wars, Star Trek, The Lord of the Rings and others.  Lately, I have not been satisfied with movies.  I've started watching some English and American TV series, such as Doctor Who, Sherlock, Firefly, Supernatural, and so on.

I also have other hobbies such as Sudoku and jigsaw puzzles. I love solving puzzles. Maybe I am not good at it, but I love the challenge.  By the way, I love travelling too.  I want to see the world if I have the opportunity.

So this is me, and thanks for reading.
