My favourite singer.
My favourite singer is Michael Jackson. I like his songs very much because they are full of energy and very melodic. I also like the way he dances.
There were nine children in Michael's family. They lived in a small fourroom house. Today he lives in a house which has seventeen rooms downstairs and sixteen rooms upstaires. It stands in 2,700 acres of ground. Besides the house there are guest houses, a golf course, a swimming pool, tennis courts, stables, gardens, lakes, forests and a zoo.
A lot of strange stories are told about Jackson. It's difficult to decide whether they are true or not. Michael never gives interviews and is rarely seen in public, except on stage. Certainly his behaviour may seem eccentric. In public he often wears a face mask to protect himself from germs, he sleeps inside an oxygen capsule, which he believes will help him to live longer. But his manager says that Jackson isn't eccentric. He is just shy. Michael sang in public for the first time when he was five. Since that time he has always been in the public eye. And since that time he has been working like a grown-up.
There were times when he came home from school and he only had time to put his books and get ready for the studio. He often sang until late at night, even if it was past his bedtime. There was a park across the street from the studio, and Michael looked at the kids playing games. And he just stared at them in wonder — he couldn't imagine such freedom, such a carefree life.
Now he says about himself that in the crowd he is afraid, on stage he is safe. Off stage he feels happiest with animals and children. He is well-known for his childish tastes. It's not a secret that his favourite hero is Peter Pan.
Michael has been called "the child who never grew up", but I think he is a grown-up who was never allowed to be a child.
Whether he is crazy, childish, eccentric or just shy, he is no fool. He has created a brilliantly successful image, he makes a lot of money and spends it on the things he wants. Who wouldn't like to do the same?

1. What did you do in last evening?
Как-то раз, когда мы ехали к бабушке в другой город, по дороге мы увидели парк развлечений. Чтобы передохнуть от дороги, папа остановил машину, а мы с мамой пошли к парку. Там было много аттракционов и небольшая пиццерия. Мы с мамой заказали там пиццу с собой, чтобы потом ещё поел папа, пока мы ждали, я побежала к атракциону и успела покататься, а потом ещё и на батуте попрыгать. Когда пицца была готова, мы её забрали и пошли в машину, к папе. Мы вкусненько поели, а потом я рассказывала, какие классные были аттракционы. Потом, когда мы приехали к бабушке, посидели и поговорили, мама пообещала на обратном пути, заехать в парк развлечений и погулять с папой. Так мы и зделали ! Вот такая веселая была у нас поездка к бабушке !
Once, when we went to our grandmother in another city, on the way we saw an amusement park. To take a break from the road, my father stopped the car, and my mother and I went to the park. There were a lot of rides and a small pizzeria. My mom and I ordered a pizza there with us so that my dad would eat again while we waited, I ran to the amusement and managed to ride, and then jump on the trampoline. When the pizza was ready, we took it and went to the car, to the father. We ate delicious, and then I told them how great the rides were. Then, when we came to my grandmother, sat and talked, my mother promised on the way back, to come to the amusement park and take a walk with dad. So we did it! That was such a fun trip to our grandmother!
