One Minute Speaking Challenge - Shopping

Всем привет! (Hello everyone!)
Сегодня 19 девятнадцатое августа. (Today is the 19th of August.)
Как быстро летит время. (How quickly time flies.)
Сегодня у меня мало работы. (Today I have little work.)
Поэтому я много отдыхала и спала. (That’s why I rested and slept a lot.)
Но чем больше я сплю, тем больше я чувствую себя усталой. (But the more I sleep, the more tired I feel.)
Сегодня мне лень что-либо делать. (Today I feel too lazy to do anything.)
Хотя я смогла приготовить обед и написать рассказ на русском языке. (Although I managed to cook lunch and write a story in Russian.)
Погода была солнечной, но сейчас немного пасмурно. (The weather was sunny, but now it’s a bit cloudy.)
Я бы хотела выйти покататься на велосипеде. (I would like to go out for a bike ride.)
Надеюсь, что не пойдёт дождь. (I hope it won’t rain.)
Всем желаю хорошего дня или вечера. (I wish everyone a good day or evening.)
Большое спасибо, что слушаете мои подкасты и до скорого. (Thank you very much for listening to my podcasts, see you soon.)
