Maggie: Hi Fiona, it's Maggie here. Fiona:Oh, hi Maggie. How are you? Maggie:Fine! Listen – There is a concert at the Royal Albert Hall tonight. I think it starts at 8 p.m. Do you want to go? Fiona:Yes, of course, but it is difficult to get tickets, isn't it? Maggie:No, I think it might be possible to get some at the door. Shall we give it a try? Fiona:Fine! Let's meet at South Kensington tube station – It isn't far from there, is it? Maggie:OK. How about going to eat somewhere first? Fiona:Good idea. I know there used to be a great Italian restaurant not far from there – might still be open. And there is also a French café and a Mexican restaurant nearby. Maggie:They all sound good. I think there is a bookshop next to the tube entrance – how about meeting in there at about five o'clock? Fiona:OK. See you later! Maggie:Bye.
1)Robinson Crusoe, a young man, lived in England. He was eighteen years old. His father wanted him to study at university, but Robinson dreamt of the sea. He ran away from home and his adventures began. (2)One of his sea voyages ended with a shipwreck. Robinson found himself alone on a desert island. (3)Robinson lived on the island for twenty-eight years. During those years, he built himself a house, learned how to fish and to grow plants. He also learned how to cook. At first he felt sad, but then he started to think that he lived a much better life here than he had done in Europe. (4)He did not see any people for 15 years. Then, one day, he saw a footprint, and later saved a young man. Crusoe named him Friday, because he had found him on that day of the week. Friday was extremely grateful and became Robinson’s servant. He learned some English. (5)For some years the two lived happily. Then, a ship came to the island. The ship was under pirates’ control. Crusoe saved the captain of the ship and his men from the pirates and they took him back to England. (6)There Robinson found that in his absence he had become a wealthy man. Crusoe got married and had three children. Later, he visited his old island.
