6. Mum the Playwright

A. Do you enjoy clubbing? I've always liked dancing. That's why I've been clubbing every weekend since 2016. Dancing makes you patient when you are mad or moody. And it can help you in being creative. How? I've been attending dance classes since childhood. And now I'm ready to start my own dance classes.

B. I'm fond of ecology. So I usually plant trees in my free time. I am a member of a team full of caring and supportive people. They care for our planet and take part in different ecological events. Last time, we were collecting plastic bottle caps for our local recycling centre. About 20 % of the money the centre earned by selling plastic went to an animal shelter.

C. My mum is a very creative person. That's why I'm fond of spending time with my family. Every holiday, our mum writes a play dedicated to it. We learn the words, make costumes, and cook a tasty dinner. Our relatives and friends always come to us to watch the play and have meals with us. I adore gathering together with them all!

D. In my free time, my friends and I often go window shopping. It doesn't mean we can't afford to buy clothes or jewellery. People may look down on those who visit malls without buying anything. But we look for beautiful clothes and shoes, try them on, and then wait for Black Friday. I always try to buy things at reduced prices; if you can pay less, why must you waste your money?

E. When I was a child, I loved visiting my aunt and uncle. We played together with their children, my cousins. Particularly, I liked Violette: we created plenty of games together. But now I prefer not to visit her because she has a boyfriend. I'm jealous of her because we used to be close friends and share many secrets.
