There are a lot of different ways how to spend your free time: watching television or your own favorite films, going for a walk to the park, for example, listening to music, reading books or something interesting in the Internet, visiting your friends or parents etc.. If I had some free time, I would choose 3^rd and 4^th. But it’s my choice and maybe for you my own one (choice) is a bit boring…

When I have free time, I take my telephone, turn my music - player on and open my favorite program “Wattpad”*. There I prefer to read fan fiction** about characters from different anime and serials.

How to choose the right way in your life

Here 7 steps how to choose the right way in your life:

1. Be positive. You need to look at your choices with a good frame of mind. If you don't look for a solution to your problem, it will be difficult to find it. There are many different ways to help you achieve positive energy. You can try to relax: bring a blanket, read a good book while drinking hot chocolate, have a nice bath...etc.

  2. Manage your time wisely. As we all know, we don't have forever to live in this world. If there is a certain dream you want to follow, don't wait until your actions to fulfill your dream are to late to have an effect. I am not saying to be a daredevil, just that it is okay to test your abilities that you want to develop.

3. Get organized. If you have lots of ideas on what path you want to take in life, you are normal. If you like writing you can buy a journal to help you organize your thoughts on paper. Sometimes it all comes to place when you can visually see your goals on paper laid out for you. If writing is not your thing, don't lose hope. You may find that by telling someone close to you about your indecision, you can clarify your choices and then make a decision easier. If it is a career that you question, do as much research on the internet or from the library as you wish.

4. Ask questions. It may feel better if you talk to someone that is knowledgeable about the specific goals you want to achieve before making final decisions. If this isn't possible, you can write down a list of questions you want to be answered regarding the goals you want to achieve. Who do I need to contact? Where do I need to start? Remember that the process it takes to find the answer is just as important as the answer itself.

5. Find you passion. You need to love the path you are taking in order to be truly successful. Something that makes your heart feel warm and makes you smile. Don't dread over money and decide the path you take solely because of the income it would provide. If you will be miserable with that path, what does it matter if you got so much money from it? Money doesn't buy happiness. It could help, but it shouldn't solely decide your dreams.  

6. Make your decisions. Eventually there always comes the time where you need to have your plans take action. What are you waiting for? Don't do something that you will regret later. Make a list that can show you the pros and cons of everything you've got to be familiar about. Take your time with this process. It is better to take a few extra hours to think it over well[your future plans], then a few extra years to make up for a mistake.

7. Find motivation. 
Motivation is not something you should overlook. Find what is best for you to get motivated. Listen to inspiring people, hear upbeat music, read, go out and visit interesting places...etc. Motivation comes from anywhere and yet it makes all the difference to see your dreams coming to life.

Books in my life

People are fond of reading different kinds of books. Some people enjoy reading detective stories, adventure stories, novels, biographies, other prefer classics. Fairy tales are enjoyed and read by children, books about adventures and journeys are enjoyed by those who are fond of traveling. Legends and myths are read by those who are fond of history.

And what about me… for me reading is like dependence. I can open the book and began to read it anywhere. At home I have a lot of books and it looks like a small library. I like reading detective and adventure stories, like Nancy Drew or Sherlock Homes; also I like to read fairy tails…year and don’t get so surprised. Most of all I prefer to read fairy tails by Hans Christian Andersen like “The Snow Queen” or “The Emperor’s new clothes”(there are my favorite tails)or fairy tails by Brothers Grimm like “Rapunzel” or “Hansel and Gretel”(there are my favorite tails too).

Tell me what you read and I'll tell you who you are...! Cool, huh? It has just come in my strange brain. About person we can be judged not only by his friends, but also for his favorite books. They can know you something new about this person so you can start to communicate and your relationships will move to a new level.

I am sure that books play a very important role in our life. When we use them we can study, find new friends, we can read books only for pleasure or we can discuss them with people with whom we are familiar or with our classmates.

Books will be our friends during all our life, so we must to be with them friendlier.

                           Okean Elzy

As for me, my favorite group is "Okean Elzy". I like this group because of good words and unusual music. This group was formed in 1994 in Lviv, Ukraine. They released 8 albums:

1. 1998 - "Tam, De Nas Nema" (There, Where We Aren't)

2. 2000 - "Ya Na Nebi Buv"    (I Was In Heaven)

3. 2001 - "Model"

4. 2003 - "Supersymetriya" (Supersymmetry)

5. 2005 - "Gloria"

6. 2007 - "Mira" (Measure)

7. 2010 - "Dolce Vita"

8. 2013 – "Zemlya" (Earth)

I like all their songs. But my favorite songs are “Obiymy”, “Na linii vognyu” and “Susy”. There are 5 men in this group: Svyatoslav Vakarchuk - vocal, Vladimir Opsenitsa - guitar, Denys Dudko - bass, Miloš Jelić - piano, synthesizers, Denys Hlinin – drums.

The greatest person of the group is Svyatoslav Vakarchuk. He is very talented. Also he writes words and music for his songs.

One my friend said that they’re aliens who know everything and came from another planet to raise and cheer us up.

I always listen to the music, when I’m happy or when I’m unhappy. It helps me in my everyday life. I listen to the music everywhere: at home, in the bus, in school…

Music is my life!

Libraries in Our Life

Every person visit library to read or to take books. When I was a little girl I was crazy for reading. And for me library seemed like a secret and magic building and there contained many different books that I can read. Book is a big «door» which can answer on interesting you questions. And library is a place that saves these «doors».

Oh, how it's wonderful to open the book, to fill its old smell. How incredible to read thoughts of author who wrote this book...there are no words to describe all my opinions of reading...but I'll try.

There're many genres of books: drama, novel, detective, fiction, non-fiction, horror, etc. But my favorite one is detective. And I have some books that I prefer in this genre. I've already written about it ... you probably already guessed...if you can't understand what I'm talking about, I will say...it is a series of books about Nancy Drew. If you want to know something about those books, you can read here:  http://katrusyarudenko.blogspot.com/2014/07/hidden-staircase-which-i-ll-tell-you.html#comment-form

OK, let's "finita la commedia"... As for me books are very important...and I can't imagine our life without books. What about you? What genre of books you prefer? It will be very exciting for me to know your interests! Bye! See you soon ^-^

At home I have a lot of books and most of them I like but this article will be about only one author of my favorite book…OK I'm starting at the moment...

I want to introduce you my favorite writer Diana Wynne Jones. She was a British writer, principally of fantasy novels for children and adults.
Born:

16 August 1934 

London, England, UK 

Died:

           26 March 2011 (aged 76) 

Bristol, England, UK

 

After finishing school in Thaxted, in 1953 she entered the College of St. Anne at Oxford, where she studied English. Jones attended lectures. After completing studies in 1956, she married John Barrow, a specialist in medieval literature. They briefly lived in London, then returned to Oxford, and finally in 1976 moved to Bristol. They had three sons: Richard, Michael and Colin.

 

Diana Wynne Jones is known for her novel Howl's Moving Castle. And this novel is one of my favorite books.

 

I read this book first time nearly one year ago. Generally, in the beginning, I watched the anime. But when I found out that there is a book, I begged my Mum to buy it for me. And when she bought it, I immediately started to read it, “swallowing” chapter by chapter.

  

  

In 2004 an animated film was released, directed by Hayao Miyazaki and produced by Studio Ghibli. The film broke box office records in Japan, and was nominated for an Academy

Award for Best Animated Feature.
