Красавец2003 We did quite a lot of subjects at school.
They were: Physics, Mathematics, Biology, Russian Literature, Chemistry, English, History of this country and many other subjects. 
It was rather difficult to go to school when a school-leaver, we had so much to do. 
I know that all the subjects are important and they all must be payed much attention to, but still I didn't like exact sciences. 
I spent much time on doing them at home. 
However hard I tried, all those formulas and definitions were 
mixed up in my head and I couldn't make it out after all.
So I had nothing to do but sit for two or three hours swotting Physics, Chemistry and Maths. 
My favourite subjects were Literature, History, English.
Most of all I liked English. 
I read English books, tried to translate some stories from newspapers from English into Russian and vice versa. 
I had some English handbooks and they were of great help to me when I studied English Grammar and did some exercises.
At our English lessons we read quite a lot of dull texts from our textbooks. 
But in my view, written texts and textbooks are not important.
