I lived in Samara. I was 11. I went to a secondary school. I was in the 5-th form. I had a lot of friends. We had many subjects at our timetable. Most of all I liked foreign languages. I studied English and German. We learnt a lot of poems by heart and acted out dialogues. We wore the uniform at school. We didn’t go to school at weekends. I often spent weekends with my friends. We walked along the banks of the Volga-river.
