Вот расказ про вампиров.
It was a warm day Sunny day people usually worked as I mowed the grass. At noon, I mowed all the grass and went to eat and at the same time to sleep. By the evening I was watching TV there talking about the murders the victims were without blood and with two holes in their neck. They thought they were vampires, but I didn't believe them because I know nothing about vampires. At night near my house I heard my animals were raging I got dressed and went to the barn and saw someone. He sat near legasa cow I approached him it was a vampire. He quickly turned into mice and flew through the window I was very scared! I called the police she came and began to interrogate me I told them everything thank God they told me to lock all the Windows and doors in the house I did. The next morning I got up as usual and got dressed and started eating and turned on the TV. It said that found a place from which vylaziet this wickedness it has stood a huge piece of iron. That's how people survived the attack with mischief pustya two months, we got rid of the vampires chesnokom, crosses, silver, I even met a couple of vampires. That's how my story ended
Перевод:
Был тёплый день солнечный день люди как обычно работали я косил траву. В полдень я докосил всю траву и пошёл есть ну и заодно поспать. К вечеру я смотрел телевизор там говорили о убийствах жертвы были без крови и с двумя дырками на шее. Они думали что это вампиры но я не верил потому-что все знаю вампиров не бывает. Ночью рядом со своим домом я услышал как мои животные разбушивались я оделся и зашёл всарай и увидел когото. Он сидел около лежашей коровы я подошёл к нему это был вампир. Он быстро обратился в мышей и вылетел через окно я был очень напуган! Я вызвал полицию она приехала и стала меня допрашивать я им все рассказала слава богу они мне поверели сказали запереть все окна и двери в доме я так и сделал. На следушее утро я как обычно встал и оделся начал есть и включил телевизор. Там говорилось что нашли место из которого вылазеет эта нечесть её загородили огромным куском железа. Вот так люди выжили после нападение нечести с пустя два месяца мы и избавились от вампиров чеснаком, крестами, серебром, даже я встретил парочку вампиров. Вот так закончилась моя история
We 1) (visited) the Marple Hotel in July 2002, when we 2) (decided) that we would not feature the hotel in our brochure. There 3) (were) a number of reasons for this: the rooms 4) (needed) upgrading, we 5) (felt) that the standard of service 6) (was not) good enough, and the hotel 7) (did not seem) to be well managed.
However, a great deal 8) (has changed) since 2002, and the hotel is now under new management. They 9) (have redecorated) all the rooms and they 10) (have made) the restaurant much more comfortable and attractive.
They 11) (have also built) a new pool. They 12) (have started) work on a new extension which should be complete by April next year, and this will bring the number of available rooms to 200. The new manager 13) (has introduced) an incentive scheme for the staff, 14) ( increased) salaries, and 15) ( sent) a number of employees on training courses, and as a result the level of service 16) (has improved) a great deal.
The restaurant is gaining a good reputation. The new chef 17) (has been) at the hotel for three months, and will clearly maintain high standards of cuisine. He 18) (was trained) in Paris a few years ago, and then 19) (workedat the Tour d'Argent. Since his arrival, he 20) (has created) a new menu and 21) (hired) a new maitre d'hotel to train the waiters. We 22) (had) a meal at the restaurant last night and 23) (think) the standards were excellent.
