To make a tasty dish is not easy but food presentation is as important as its taste. You should be a creative person to make your dishes look appetizing. Decorate grilled fish with slices of lemon and leaves of celery, put it on a big dish together with vegetables of different colours – carrots, peas, broccoli, corn – and you’ ll see how beautiful it will look. Experiment, use your brains and you’ ll be a success.
Hobby interests
Tastes differ. It’ s unfair to believe that all teenagers like the same things: computer games, dancing to blaring music and action films. This is not true. Some of my friends prefer serious films and classical music. I myself think that nothing can beat an interesting book. To be honest, only few of my friends consider reading to be exciting but I often tell them about the books I’ m reading. I hope they will understand how entertaining reading may be.
Gadgets fan
My friend Andy is a techno freak. He has always been interested in gadgets. At home he has got a digital camera, an MP3 player, a PDA and certainly a TV set and a CD player. Lately he has had a new passion( for) a camcorder. He travels a lot and makes amateur videofilms. And then he edits them using the software of his laptop.
Disadvantages of going backpacking
I remember very well how once my friends and I decided to escape the dust, noise and pollution of the city and go backpacking. On that day we had walked about ten kilometers with heavy backpacks and were quite tired. We put up the tent in the shade of some trees and began cooking dinner. When you’ re backpacking, you can’ t expect to have any home comforts. But I’ m afraid we were not ready for the fact that the dirty( polluted) water in the river would threaten us with nasty viruses and the weather would change for the worse so quickly. Very soon it started pouring. Even the spectacular scenery couldn’ t cheer us up.
How I spend my pocket money
If you ask me what I spend my money on, I’ ll tell you that I try to spend as little as I can on such trifles as chewing gum or chips. I prefer to save up to afford to buy fashionable clothes or my favourite disks. But my friend is a sports fan, that’ s why he seldom spends his pocket money on anything except tennis balls and rackets or tickets for tennis championships which are very expensive.
