Sometimes, he goes out with friends, but more often he usually stays in and reads books. He never eats fast food because he thinks it’s awful for health, but he has a sweet tooth. So he tries to cut down on sugar. Tom loves computer games, but he watches TV once in a blue moon because he believes it’s boring.

SCRIPT

Hi! I am Rita. I usually wake up at 8. I always drink coffee in the morning and I often work at home. From time to time, I go out, actually, I love my home and enjoy staying in. I have a lot of things to do: I clean up, wipe down the furniture, put away the clothes I don’t need and throw away my old things. I read detective stories every now and then and enjoy watching serials about detectives. I watch TV programmes once in a blue moon because I don’t like TV very much. My brother is different. Gleb is a night owl. He starts his day at 10 or 11 am. He is an IT specialist. He never tidies up or washes up. At least, he picks up his things and put them away. But he’s a nice guy, he’s kind.
