I go shopping with my family on Saturday mornings. After that I cook some delicious food for the family.
In the afternoon I tidy the whole house with the help of my husband. In the evening the family is together,
we watch TV, talk a lot or play board games. On Sunday I often go hiking with my family and we
sometimes invite some friends too. Once a month we visit our relatives, or they come to see us.

No, it isn’t. Companies don’t have as much money as they used to. There are a lot of people without
jobs right now.
The workplace shouldn’t be too far from your home. The number and mode of working hours are
very important. You should do a job where you can use your skills or qualifications. The salary is also
very important, because this is the main reason for looking for a job.

A job should be creative and challenging. I would like to have a nine-to-five job, a kind of job that I can
finish at a certain time. Being your own boss would be the best form of work. I’d like to have my own
business, where I would be responsible for everything.

salary provides financial security which is very important. If you have good wages you feel your work
is valued and appreciated.

A small or medium sized company would be good. I’d like to be part of a team, and share the work and
responsibility with my colleagues. The office would be big and light, with all kinds of modern equipment.

Well, I get up at six o’clock and have breakfast at home. Then I leave home at seven. I go to work by
bus. I start working at eight and I finish at four pm. I have 30 minutes for the lunch break. After work I go
to an English course, there are lessons on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I get home at seven pm. I have
a shower and eat something for dinner then I watch TV, or I call my friends. I go to bed at 10 pm.

My hobby is photography. I like taking photos of people or different objects. Last year I bought a really
good digital camera and it works very well. I can take amazing pictures and it is easy to handle and small,
so I can take it anywhere I want. Within a few minutes, I can upload my photos on the computer or on the
internet to share them with my friends.

amazing - lenyűgöző

share - megosztani
I always have many things to do. Mostly I learn English when I have a little time. When the weather is
good, I usually go to ride my bike or jog. There is a quiet little forest near my town. As I sit all day in the
office, it is really good to go outdoors and do some sports. A little fresh air and some activity can make
me refresh and relaxed.

usually - általában
as - mivel
refresh - felfrissült
I think the most popular activity is football. Hungarians like playing football or if they can’t, they watch it
on TV. Watching TV is the most common activity, I don’t think it is good, but a lot of people watch all
kinds of programmes on TV. A new and modern pass time activity is Facebook, mainly young people can
enjoy it and they can spend hours with writing and reading comments.

4. TRAVELLING, HOLIDAY
I went to Sicily in June with my girlfriend. We always wanted to visit it because we saw many beautiful
pictures of it. I went to a travel agency and I asked them to arrange it. It wasn’t so expensive.
We travelled by plane and we had to change in Rome. The flight was about 3 hours. Sicily is fantastic,
everything is nice, and the people are very friendly and helpful. We watched many famous sights like
Taormina or the Etna and of course we sunbathed on the beautiful sandy beaches. It was fantastic.

Well, I have to think it over because I want to take all my clothes, but my suitcase isn’t big enough. If I
travel by plane I have to check my things twice because the suitcase can’t be more than twenty kilos. So, I
take trousers and T-shirts or pullovers for every day, I pack some underwear, pyjamas and some
extra shoes. I always take my own towels and shower gel, I don’t like using the hotel’s stuff. I take
some important medicine if I have a headache or fever.

I have already travelled by car, bus, train and by plane. My favourite is to travel by car because I can stop
when I want, and it is very comfortable. I can take everything I want, and I can choose what I want to see.
When I travel by car, I look for some nice towns and sights on the way. I plan my journey and I stop here
and there to look some famous castles and other things. So, I think travelling by car is very practical and
comfortable.

I would like to spend a few weeks in Bora-Bora. It is a beautiful tropical island. It is the Paradise for me. I
saw many pictures of it and I love the sandy beaches with crystal clear sea and a lot of sunshine. It is
very far from here, about twenty-five hours by plane. I could relax on the beach or swim in the beautiful
sea and in the evening, I would watch some folklore programme. It would be lovely. I hope I will get
there one day.

5. HOUSING
I live in a nice block of flats. We live on the 5th floor, so we have a nice view. There is an elevator in
the building which is very useful although it is often out of order. So, I have to walk up 5 floors, which is
not always a pleasure. We have a kitchen, a bathroom, a living-room, 2 bedrooms and a balcony. My
bedroom is not very big, but I spend most of my time in the living-room. In summer I sunbathe or just relax
on the balcony.

Our neighbourhood is nice and calm. We have got a green park near our house and I often go there to
meet my friends and we can walk a bit, which is very relaxing. The roads are not too busy, and air
is cleaner than in the other parts of the city. When I go into the city centre I can feel the polluted air.
The public transport is comfortable, and I don’t have to use my car.

My room is not too big, but I have everything that I need. Next to the door there is my bed. Above the bed
there is a lamp. Opposite the bed there is a TV. There is a DVD player and a hi-fi beside the TV. On the
shelves there are many books. I love reading, my favourites are the science fiction books. Next to the bed
there is a desk where I usually learn, and my computer is here too.

In the living-room I usually watch TV in the evening. There is a comfortable sofa opposite the TV. When I
have time, I read magazines and books, or I chat with my friends here. Sometimes we play board
games, for example Activity, the living room is very big, so we have enough space. If I am too tired I
just take my laptop and I use Facebook or surf on the internet.

sometimes - néha
I can’t cook very well but I am often in the kitchen. In the morning when I get up, I make coffee and
some toasts. Fortunately, I have all the electric devices and it makes cooking easier. In the evenings I
cook some simple food like scrambled eggs or some pasta. I really hate washing up, so I don’t do it very
often. I put everything in the dishwasher and then unload it.

I like living in the city because I can find everything I need. There are all kinds of shops and places. I like
big shopping centres because there are shops, restaurants and cinemas in one building, so I don’t have to
travel through the city. It is very good especially in winter when the weather is bad. Sometimes I feel that
there are too many people and cars so in the afternoon there are always traffic jams. These can
be stressful, but I like living here.

cinema - mozi
through - keresztül

In the morning I always eat some toast with butter and salami and I have a cup of coffee. After that I am
fine without eating anything until lunch. During work I usually drink some mineral water. I have lunch at
my workplace, there is a great canteen and I can have really good food. In the afternoon I sometimes have
chocolate or some snacks, and in the evening when I get home I only eat sandwiches for dinner.

For me, lunch is the most important meal. I always eat some cooked food, I need to eat
something warm every day. I have two courses, I start with some kind of soups, I love them. For the main
course I eat meat. I usually have chicken or turkey, I don’t really like pork or beef. I eat meat with
some salads if possible.

To tell you the truth, I can’t cook very well. In the evening or at the weekend I sometimes
cook simple food like fried eggs or some pasta but that’s all. It takes a lot of time to prepare good food
and after eating I have to wash up all the dishes. Fortunately, my wife can cook very well, and she usually
cooks my favourite dishes when she has time.

Well, there are many world-famous Hungarian dishes. From the soups Goulash and fish soup are the best-
known. I like Goulash very much, but I don’t eat fish, I don’t like that I have to be careful with
the fishbone. From the main courses the best is the stuffed cabbage, but it is really spicy and heavy. In
general, Hungarian dishes are spicy and heavy so you should be careful with your weight. From the
desserts sponge cake Somló style is the best, it contains a lot of chocolate and some nuts and we
put whipped cream on the top. I love it.
