I would tell about my uncle Oscar. He was nice man. He used to work in the bank as accountant all day long. He had talkative wife and 2 selfish and greedy children. Uncle Oscar never went to cinema, museum. He liked music, but never played any instruments. He liked his life, he never complained.
However he had a hobby, to which he gave all his free time – collection of stamps. His family took no interest to it, but I did.
On the 14th of October 1951 uncle Oscar had gone from house to work, but never got there. No people saw him, or just weren’t sure.
Заметка:
Учитель может спросить про сочетание "used to work" во втором предложении. Возможно, вы его ещё не проходили. Оно означает действие, которое происходило раньше на регулярной основе, но к настоящему моменту прекратилось. В конкретно нашем случае: дядя Оскар раньше регулярно ходил на работу, но больше не ходит.
For me a smart house is a place, where you can come back after work in the evening and relax 100% Nice music, hot and delicious dinner, good perfume and some good company can wait for you at this home. All these things are impossible without smart facilities. First of all here it has to be alarm. If any stranger wants to come inside, alarm will let you know. If you are waiting for somebody, there is a video monitor and you can see on TV at home who is knocking at the door.
Another thing is a smart facilities in the kitchen. I would like to have one machine that you can control and organize the way you want. You can program what meal you would like to have today, tomorrow and all week. You install the time when the meal has to be ready and «voila!» When you come back home, a table full of food is waiting for you.
For me all these things can make my life easier, happier and brighter. This is a smart house I would like to have.
Для меня умный дом - это место, куда можно вернуться вечером после работы и расслабиться на 100% Приятная музыка, горячий и вкусный ужин, хорошие духи и хорошая компания ждут вас в этом доме. Все это невозможно без умных сооружений. В первую очередь здесь должна быть тревога. Если кто-то из незнакомцев захочет войти внутрь, сигнализация сообщит вам об этом. Если вы кого-то ждете, то есть видеомонитор и дома по телевизору видно, кто стучится в дверь.
Другое дело умное оборудование на кухне. Я хотел бы иметь одну машину, которой можно управлять и организовывать так, как вы хотите. Вы можете запрограммировать, какую еду вы хотели бы есть сегодня, завтра и всю неделю. Вы устанавливаете время, когда блюдо должно быть готово, и «вуаля!» Когда вы вернетесь домой, вас будет ждать стол, полный еды.
Для меня все эти вещи могут сделать мою жизнь проще, счастливее и ярче. Это умный дом, который я хотел бы иметь.
