Dear Kelly,
I was at the circus on Sunday. It were very interesting! There were two funny clowns. Their noses were red and their hair were orange. There was many animals too. I was happy! Where was you on Sunday?
Love, Mary.
To have a rest
to invite friends
to decorate room
to work in office
to arrange a festival
<span>I. (A, B)</span>
<span>I. Have we met before? 2. I have often been seeing his name in the papers this year. 3. I have been trying to catch the waiter’s attention for about 15 minutes now. 4. She has studied English for a year and have learnt many words and expressions. 5. I have not heard about him since yesterday. 6. I have been looking for him since I finished my lesson but I have not found him. I have been to his office and to the laboratory but he isn’t there. 7. “Hello, Sven. Have you seen Alex yet?” - “No, I have not been to the shop floor today. I have been talking on the phone to our clients all morning.” 8. I have been up here since about six. I have been wandering around for hours. 9. I have come to you to invite you for a ride in the car. 10. I expect these young men have informed you who I am. 11.1 really don’t know what you have been doing there all this time. 12.1 have loved you ever since I first saw you. 13. And that’s where they have been staying ever since.
II. (A, B, C)
1. “I know what you have been thinking of these last days,” - he said. - “Have you made up your mind?”
2. They have been struggling with this problem for about a month and they have solved it at last. 3. They have been discussing the case for hours but have been unable to come to any decision. 4. You have been seeing Harry again. He has put this idea into your head. 5. You have been listening to gossip. The things you have heard are quite impossible. 6. I have been waiting here since 10 o'clock. Nobody has looked in here. 7. I have been telling you so for years but you have never paid any attention. 8. She has been talking about it ever since I met her and nothing has come out of it. 9. She has been doing shaping since September and her figure has improved remarkably. 10. You have been asking him this question for a week and still he has not answered you.</span>
Hurray ! We are we having holidays!
Autumn holidays are very short - only 10 days.
I`m not going to travel, I won`t go to the seaside, I won`t visit my Granny in the village. However, I like autumn holidays. I will have a lot of time for my favourite activities.
In the afternoon I`ll play with my little sister and walk with her outdoors. We will pick up yellow beautiful leaves and watch the smart trees.
In the evenings I will read books and improve my English language.
It`s so great to have autumn holidays!

Ура, у нас каникулы!
Осенние каникулы очень короткие - всего 10 дней.
Я не буду путешествовать, не поеду на море, не поеду к бабушке в деревню. Но я все-таки люблю осенние каникулы.
У меня будет много времени для занятий моими любимыми делами.
Днем я буду играть со своей маленькой сестренкой, и гулять с ней на улице. Мы будем собирать желтые красивые листочки, и смотреть на нарядные деревья.
А вечерами я буду читать книги, и совершенствовать свой английский язык.
<span>Очень хорошо, что есть осенние каникулы!</span>
