The chapter starts with description of the Dursley family, who are proud to be "perfectly normal". We learn that Mrs Dursley has a sister, Mrs Potter, but their families haven't met for several years. Both families have sons.
Then the story begins on a "dull, grey Tuesday". Mr Dursley notices a lot of strange things hapenning - owls flying in town, people in cloaks, a strange cat sitting on the wall of his garden, unusual news on TV. The Dursleys go to bed wondering what it all could mean. At night, a tall, thin and very old man appears near their house. It's Albus Dumbledore. The cat turns out to be Professor McGonagall, and the two are professors from Hogwarts, a school of witchcraft and wizardry. Then comes Hagrid, a giant, who brings little Harry Potter. Harry's parents were killed by Lord Voldermort, a dark wizard, but Harry survived and Voldermort's power "somehow broke" .
So little Harry is left asleep on the doorstep of the Dursley's house with a letter written by Dumbledore. The professors and Hagrid go to join the celebrations.
Сочинение на английском «Хобби» - “Hobby”с переводом
Hobby is a favorite occupation of a person in his or her free time. People are different so they have hobbies of various kinds. Somebody likes to knit or sew things, other likes to make everything with his own hands or to draw, to take pictures. Many children and grow-ups are fond of collecting. They collect old coins, postcards, toys, stamps.
Hobby helps people to relax, to forget about their troubles and to have a good time.My hobby is learning English. Nowadays it’s especially important to know foreign languages because we need it for our work, for travelling abroad. Everyone who knows foreign languages can speak to people from other countries, read foreign authors in original that makes our outlook wider.
I think my hobby is very interesting and useful.
Хобби – это любимое занятие человека в свободное время. Люди разные и у них различные увлечения. Кто-то любит вязать или шить, кому-то нравится мастерить все своими руками или рисовать, фотографировать. Многие дети и взрослые увлекаются коллекционированием. Они собирают старые монеты, открытки, марки.
Хобби людям расслабиться, забыть про проблемы и хорошо провести время.
Мое хобби – изучение английского. Сегодня особенно важно знать иностранные языки, они нужны нам для работы и для путешествий. Каждый, кто знает иностранные языки, может говорить с иностранцами, читать зарубежных авторов в оригинале, что расширяет кругозор.
