I don’t really like when I should abandon my plans, but sometimes we are there or not, the things stronger than me, so I need to change it. And I wanted to tell about the one case like this. My friends and I wanted to come out around the city center in San Petersburg, and before it we read the prognosis and cities that sunny and warm weather was every day. So I’ll dress light jacket and bright dress and we went out. But in the park the heavy rain was begun. We don’t wait it and we tried to hide under the trees but it did not work. I understand that I’m a little bit frizzing and shaking because of cold, but I feel like this fun and amazing adventure, so I don’t think this thing was bad. Then we try to wait a little bit, but rain didn’t end, so we try to return to the whole return home and we don’t have some umbrellas or something like this so we run under the rain but yeah now I think it’s a good adventure not really pleasant but sometimes that kind of thing happened we don’t need to do anything about about this, but only be prepared.

I don't really like when I have to abandon my plans, but sometimes there are things stronger than me, so I need to change them. I wanted to tell about one case like this. My friends and I wanted to go out around the city center in Saint Petersburg, and before that, we checked the forecast, which said that sunny and warm weather would be every day. So I wore a light jacket and a bright dress, and we went out. But in the park, heavy rain began. We didn't expect it, and we tried to hide under the trees, but that didn't work. I realized that I was a little bit freezing and shaking because of the cold, but I felt like it was a fun and amazing adventure, so I didn't think it was bad. Then we tried to wait a little bit, but the rain didn't stop, so we decided to return home. We didn't have any umbrellas or anything like that, so we ran in the rain. Now I think it was a good adventure— not really pleasant, but sometimes that kind of thing happens. We don't need to do anything about it, but only be prepared.
