1. — Jane, dear, have you called Emily? — Yes, I called her about an hour ago, but I didn't speak to her because she was having a bath. I think I'll try again in a few minutes. She will have had her bath by this time.
2. By seven o'clock yesterday evening the train hadn't arrived yet. The people on the platform felt cold as a strong wind was blowing. Suddenly there came a voice from the loudspeaker, which said that the train would arrive a quater of an hour latter. Mark, who has been standing on the platform for half an hour, had already decided that he would go to the snack bar and drink a cup of coffee.
3. — Can I have my book back, Chris? — Sorry, I haven't read it yet. But I think I will have read it by Saturday. Then I will bring it to you myself. — Do you like it? — Oh, yes. Very much. Yesterday I've been reading it for five hours non-stop. When mother came into my bedroom at 12 o'clock and said "good night" to me, I was still reading it.
4) Last Sunday Alice's neighbour asked her to keep her cat Fluff for three days when she would be away on business. She said the cat would be no trouble. But when Alice woke up the next morning, she noticed that the cat had eaten all the goldfish. When Alice left for school, the cat was sleeping peacefully in the sun. When the girl came home, the cat dissapeared. It took poor Alice two hours to find Fluff in someone's garden where the cat was running after birds.
Перевод:
1. — Джейн, дорогая, ты уже позвонила Эмили?— Да, я позвонила ей примерно час назад, но мы не смогли поговорить, потому что она принимала ванну. Позвоню-ка я ей ещё раз через пару минут. Она к этому времени уже закончит принимать ванну.
2. Вчера поезд ещё не пришёл к семи часам вечера. Людям на платформе было холодно, так как дул холодной ветер. Внезапно по громкоговорителю сообщили, что поезд придёт через четверть часа. Марк, простоявший на платформе пол часа, уже было собирался пойти в закусочную, чтобы выпить чашку кофе.
3. — Можно мне мою книгу, Крис?— Извини, ещё не дочитал её до конца. Я думаю, что к субботе я её дочитаю и потом сам тебе её занесу.— Нравится книга?— О, да. Очень нравится. Вчера я целых пять часов её читал непрестанно. Когда мама зашла в комнату — было уже двенадцать часов ночи — и пожелала доброй ночи, я всё ещё читал книгу.
4. В субботу соседка Алисы попросила её оставить своего кота Пушистка на три дня, пока она будет в командировке. Она сказала, кот не будет обузой. Но когда Алиса проснулась следующим утром, она заметила, что все золотые рыбки были съедены котом. Когда Алиса пошла в школу, кот мирно спал на солнце. Когда девочка пришла домой, кот исчез. Бедная Алиса потратила два часа, чтобы найти Пушистка в чьём-то саду, где кот бегал за птицами.
1. I prefer to travel by air because it is the fastest and the most comfortable way of travelling.
2. I think that the most expensive train and plane tickets are tickets to large countries such as France, Germany, the USA or Canada.
3. Long-distance trains often have sleeper cabins, a lot of foot room and restaurant cars.
4. People need to check in, go through the security check and then through Immigration and Customs check.
5. A modern sea liner is like a floating city - it can carry several thousands of passengers, there are dozens of restaurants, bars, cafes, shops, swimming pools, and cinemas there.
6. Travelling with friends or family, visiting famous sights and taking lots of pictures can make your journey more pleasant.
7. The impression of the journey can be spoiled by bad weather, or poor service.
8. The longest journey I have ever made was my journey by train from Moscow to Ulan Bator in Mongolia - it took me almost five days to get there.
9. The most pleasant journey I've ever made was my trip to England and Ireland. It was just mind-blowing!
10. I think there will be flying cars and super fast trains and space shuttles. And I hope they all will be safe and environmentally friendly.
