(b There was no sign of a burglary.
c It had always been a quiet, safe area.
d The last burglary in the neighbourhood was
before she was born.
It was her friend Adam. He wanted to know if she needed any help (B5)(studying) for their history test.
‘Yes, please!’ said Amy. ‘I (B6)(did) badly in the last test, so I really want to impress Mrs Sanders this time.’
They arranged to meet at Adam’s house at seven o’clock. ‘I can’t find my history notes, so remember to bring (B7)(yours),’ said Adam.
At eight o’clock, Amy still (B8)(had not arrived). Adam was not happy.
‘I can’t wait any (B9)(longer),’ he thought to himself. ‘I’ll have to get the notes from someone else.’
He was just about to call his friend Tom when he heard a couple of (B10)(women's) voices outside. It was Amy and an older woman.
Adam opened the door. ‘Hi Adam,’ said Amy. ‘Sorry I’m a few minutes late. The bad news is that I (B11)(have lost) my history notes too.’
Amy smiled. ‘But don’t worry because this is a good friend of (B12)(mine) – and she’s a history teacher!’
My favourite book is the Harry Potter series by the British writter J.K. Rowling. There are seven books in it which were made into eight films. The series combines such genres as drama, mystery, thriller, adventure, horror and romance. According to the author, the main theme of the books is death though I think the books are about growing up and true friendship.
The books tell a story of a young wizard, Harry Potter, and his friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, all of whom are students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The main conflict in the books is Harry's struggle against Lord Voldemort, a dark wizard who killed Harry's parents. The main action of the series takes place in Britain. We learn about the world of wizards who live among Muggles. There are a lot of characters in the books and some of them are really unforgettable. My favourite characters are Harry and Hermione but I also like Professor Albus Dumbledore.
The series became very popular all over the world. I read the Russian translation of all the seven books a few years ago and now I am reading the series in English. I am a big fan of this series and love all the books very much.
Моя любимая книга - это серия книг о Гарри Поттере британской писательницы Дж. К. Роулинг. В серии семь книг, по которым были сняты восемь фильмов. Серия сочетает в себе такие жанры, как драма, детектив, триллер, приключения, ужасы и романтика. По словам автора, главная тема книг - смерть, хотя я думаю, что книги о взрослении и настоящей дружбе.
Книги рассказывают историю о юном волшебнике Гарри Поттере и его друзьях Гермионе Грейнджер и Роне Уизли, которые являются студентами Школы чародейства и волшебства Хогвартс. Главный конфликт в книгах - борьба Гарри против лорда Волан-де-Морта, темного волшебника, который убил родителей Гарри. Основное действие книг разворачивается в Британии. Мы узнаем о мире волшебников, которые живут среди магглов. В книгах много персонажей, и некоторые из них действительно незабываемы. Мои любимые герои - это Гарри и Гермиона, но мне также нравится профессор Альбус Дамблдор.
Серия стала очень популярной во всем мире. Я прочитал(а) перевод всех семи книг на русский несколько лет назад, и теперь я читаю серию на английском. Я фанат этой серии и очень люблю все книги.
