The Subjects We Studied at School. My Favourite Subject. — Предметы, которые мы изучаем в школе. Мой любимый предмет (2)

We did quite a lot of subjects at school. They were: Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, History, Geography, Russian, English, Literature and others.
Every teacher asked for equal and adequate attention to his subject and it was not an easy work to do. I knew that all the subjects were important, but still I was always indifferent to exact sciences.
Since my childhood I have been fond of reading. My favourite subjects were Literature and languages.
When I started studying English, the first thing I got interested in, was the different way to express one and the same idea in English and Russian.
I wondered why if an Englishman is upset or gloomy he does not say: «I have a bad mood» like Russians do but says: «I feel blue».
There is an infinite number of such things in any language. I read English books, tried to translate some articles from «Moscow News».
Very often I borrowed English books from our school library. I spend

a lot of time studding Grammar and doing exercises.
At our English lessons we read quite a lot, but didn’t talk much. So me and my friends decided to speak English among us.
Very often I spoke English with my friends on the way home after classes.

Мой любимый предмет (2)

В школе мы изучали много предметов. Это — математика, физика, химия, история, география, русский и английский языки, литература и другие предметы.
Каждый учитель требовал, чтобы к его предмету относились с должным вниманием, и это было не всегда легко сделать. Я понимала, что все предметы важны, но все же оставалась равнодушной к точным наукам.
С детства я любила читать. Моими любимыми предметами были

литература и языки.
Когда я стала изучать английский, первое, что меня заинтересовало, это то, что мы по-разному выражаем одну и ту же мысль в английском и русском языках.
Мне было интересно, почему когда англичанин расстроен и подавлен, он не скажет, как русские: «У меня плохое настроение», а скажет: «Я чувствую себя унылым».
В каждом языке встречается бесконечное множество таких различий. Я читала книги на английском языке, пыталась переводить статьи из «Московских новостей».
Очень часто я брала книги на английском из нашей школьной библиотеки. Я потратила много времени, изучая грамматику и выполняя упражнения.
На наших уроках по английскому языку мы достаточно много читали, но не очень много разговаривали. Поэтому я и мои друзья решили говорить по-английски между собой.
Очень часто я говорила по-английски с моими друзьями по пути домой после занятий.
