The London TubeHave you ever wondered what strange things lurk within the London Underground (or "Tube") system? The first things people usually think of are the mice that you can occasionally see running along the tracks. (run) In tact, mice arent the only strange things in the Underground system. Passengers leave behind thousands of objects. Items that were once theirs now reside in London Transport's lost property office. (they) The collection is not open to the public, but a wedding dress, sets of false teeth, artificial limbs and a metre -high Mickey Mouse statue are just some of things people could see if they visited the office. Objects that are left in the office for more than three months are donated to charity or sold at auction. (leave)
Found money Shelley was reading an article about some money a builder had found in an old house. He'd gone to the police with $64,000. She asked her friend Paul what he would do if he found a large amount of money. (find) "Oh, the same thing he did", Paul didn't hesitate to respond. "It's not right to keep that kind of money. It's not just $20, you know." (not hesitate) Shelley thought about it for several moments. She couldn't help wondering how the police would know whose money it was. (who) "Apparently", she said, reading the article further, "if nobody claims the money after a certain period of time, the police RETURNS???/слово не даноб но в любом случае оно должно быть в простом настоящем(present simple) it back to the builder". She wondered whether the builder would be lucky on this occasion.
Dan: I'm fine! And how are you? How was your summer?
Mike: Oh, it was OK. The weather was great, so I played football with my friends and we went swimming a lot.
Dan: Yeah, I can see your tan (Я вижу твой загар). You look great! Did you spend the whole summer in town?
Mike: Not really (Вообще-то нет). In July I went to visit my grandparents, they live in the countryside (они живут в деревне). And what about you? You wanted to travel to Spain, didn't you?
Dan: Yes, I did. I did go there. In fact I've just come back.
Mike: Have you? Please tell me about it! Can I have a look at your pictures?
Dan: Sure. Would you like to come to my place tonight?
