Лучший Учебник Английского Языка
Шрифт:
I can’t tell much about my siblings because all of them are like each other. They like playing computer games, watching bullshit on YouTube and asking their tutors to do homework instead of them. I would like to be the only child in my family because I would be the only heir. Unfortunately, this dream is impossible to come true.
What am I like? What do I look like? What do I like? Questions without answers… Be or not to be… Life is tragic but sweet. I like everything sweet and tasty. Tasty food and sweet girls. I like everything to be beautiful. Beautiful cars, houses, clothes, people. Beauty in everywhere and in everything. I like looking cool and looking cooler than my friends. Am I clever? Yes, I am clever. Am I kind? Yes, I love my cats Fluffy and Puffy, especially my long legged pussycat Mary from the neighboring village. Luxury village, of course. So, what about my appearance? I am quite tall (180 cm), slim and sporty, with fair hair and blue eyes. I’m interested in everything that is strange, unique or unfathomable. I like listening to classical music and playing the violin. I like learning foreign languages thanks to my tutor George who teaches me English and German. I also enjoy mountain skiing in Switzerland or diving in the Caribbean. I am a fan of fantasy and science fiction books. I am a fan of my own unique personality!
For what do I live? For pleasure. What do I want? Happiness. What can I wish you, my readers? Wealth, of course. Why? Just because happiness is not in money but in its quantity. Wealth means money in good quantity, so when you are wealthy and smart enough to use it properly you can be happy.
Don’t worry! Be happy!
