<span>I am a glove-maker. All my life I have lived on the top of the hill. I thought that i’m tho loneliest man. I have never got any letters. But yesterday I recieved a letter, as it turned out, from my twin. he told everything about his life and also invite me to visit his house, which is situated on the bank of the river. </span>
I have a lot of favorite hobbies. I love to read, I love to ride a bike, and I really like the story. But my most important hobby is drawing. I started painting when I was still small. Mom and dad often gave me markers of different colors, colored pencils and beautiful, snow-white drawing paper. I liked to paint on a clean sheet something beautiful, plants, animals, and sometimes people. Therefore, I often made postcards for my mom and dad myself. However, my first drawings were not the best. Something turned out crooked, something did not work at all. But I always continued to draw. Now, I think I draw very well. My works hang on the walls in my room. I often send my creations to children's drawing contests and often get diplomas and prizes.
У меня очень много любимых увлечений. Я люблю читать, я люблю кататься на велосипеде, и мне очень нравится история. Но мое самое главное хобби – это рисование. Я начал рисовать, когда был еще маленьким. Мама с папой очень часто дарили мне фломастеры самых разных цветов, цветные карандаши и красивую, белоснежную бумагу для рисования. Мне нравилось изображать на чистом листе что-нибудь красивое, растения, животных, иногда людей. Поэтому я нередко сам делал открытки для мамы и папы. Однако, первые мои рисунки были не самыми лучшими. Кое-что получалось криво, кое-что вообще не получалось. Но я всегда продолжал рисовать. Теперь, мне кажется, я рисую очень хорошо. Мои работы висят на стенах в моей комнате. Я часто отправляю свои творения на конкурсы детских рисунков и часто получаю дипломы и призы.
We have just seen our friends.
Последняя книга, что я читал.
Paul: Betty, can't you go faster? We will miss
the train if you don't hurry up.
Betty: I know, know… but this bag is so heavy.
It seems to be filled with encyclopedias.
Paul: I told you not to take so many things.
Betty: You are always right, aren't you?... How
much time do we have before the train departure?
Paul: About 20 minutes. Will we go by bus?
Betty: Oh, no. We don't have any time to wait
for it. Let's take a taxi!
Paul: Look, the taxi is standing at the corner of
the street. Go faster!
Betty to the driver: To the railway station,
please!
Driver: OK
Paul: How long will it take to get there? We
are being late.
Driver: Oh, at this time of day, traffic is not
very heavy. It shouldn't take long… about 15 minutes.
Betty: What will the fare be?
Driver: About twenty five dollars.
<span>Paul: Let's
hope there will be no traffic jams and we will catch the train!</span>
