Северное сияние в небе над Шотландией

Возможность увидеть северное сияние была главной причиной посещения Лаурой Шетландских островов. Она уже целую вечность мечтала попасть туда. Мне было гораздо интереснее немного отдохнуть и подышать свежим воздухом.

Когда мы приехали, у Лоры разболелась голова, и я настоял на том, чтобы поставить палатку сам. Она извинилась __ не и решила пойти прогуляться. Я не возражал против того, чтобы она пошла, так как я не очень люблю __ __(ходить), и я подумал, что это может ее головной боли. И вообще, я редко могу помешать ей делать то, что она хочет!

Вскоре стало совсем темно. Я решил поискать Лору. Я боялся заблудиться, но волноваться было не о чем - внезапно повсюду появились занавески из красного, зеленого и белого света. Это было северное сияние!

КАPОЧЕ ВОТ ПЕРЕВОД)))

It was getting dark when Laura got to her sister’s place. The entrance door was LOCKed.
Laura pressed the doorbell and HEARd quick footsteps. “It’s so nice of you to come,’ Laura’s sister Betty opened the door.
“Come in. We have PUT a meat pie into the oven. I think it’ll be ready in forty minutes or so. You aren’t very hungry, are you?”
Betty was seven years YOUNGer than Laura, but she was much better at housekeeping.
When Laura entered the house, she saw four WOMeN in the sitting room.
They nodded and went on talking. “Where’s Ken?” asked Laura. “He is REPAIRing his car in the garage,” Laura said.
“He will JOIN us soon.”

Dr Werner has written an EXCITing book about his experiences. In it he says that when he started the experiment he even put on weight.
He says: "I can't really give an EXPLAnation of what’s happening to me; perhaps I just believe in my theory."
Dr Werner’s colleagues say that only plants can produce energy from the sun, and they cannot explain how he is able to stay HEALTHy.
“This case ,PROBABLy, needs a lot more research before we will be able to explain it,” they say.
