Last Tuesday Henry brown took his sons George, Richard and fred to see London. They live about fifty miles from London in a small town called Greenfields. They went by train. It was a steam—train drawn by an engine called King Arthur. Mr. Brown opened the door of an empty carriage and the boys jumped in. The guard blew his whistle and waved his flag and the train started. The train was a fast one. It passed through Knightstown, Sandfield, Pursley and Didcombe before stopping. But it stopped at Crawly station where some people got off and where a porter put some bags of letters and parcels into the van. An old lady got into the carriage. She had a bag with her name and address on it; Mrs. M. Smith, Northwood road, Woking, Surrey. She had a little dog with her called Micky. Ten minutes later they came into Waterloo station and very soon they were out in the busy streets.
“Come on, boys, we’ll take a bus now.” A big, red bus came along marked London bridge. “That’s the bus we want,” said Mr. Brown and the boys hurried up the stairs and on to the top of the bus. As they went along, Mr. Brown pointed out places and things for them to see, “There’s westminster bridge and there are the houses of parliament. We are crossing london’s river now, the thames, and just over there is Westminster abbey.”
“What’s that monument on the bank of the river?” said Richard.
“That’s Cleopatra’s Needle. It came from Egypt.” “That’s a fine ship in the river,” said George. “It’s the Discovery, the ship in which captain Scott sailed for the South pole.”
“And what’s that building in the distance with the golden cross on top?”
“that is St. Paul’s Cathedral,” said Mr. Brown. “It was built by the great architect sir Christopher Wren.” I want t see the Tower of London,” said George. We’ll see that after lunch,” said his father. Where are we going for lunch?” said Fred.“I didn’t eat much breakfast, I was too excited. ”We’ll have lunch at a hotel that I know in Johnson square near Fleet street. Here it is the Crown hotel. Come on, boys, lunch is ready.”

 Как и обещала пример   Small talk...  Два друга встретились, спрашивают что нового..

John: Hi Tom, how are you doing?

Tom: Very well, thanks. How are you?

John: I’m doing well myself.Tom: Haven’t seen you in weeks. What have you been doing lately?

John: Well, I’m pretty busy these days. I have got a job at a call center.

Tom: I see. It’s great that you got a job. You know what? These days getting a good job isn’t all that easy. I’m really happy for you.

John: Thank you. What about you? Have you already finished school?

Tom: No, I have one more semester left.

Tom: Yeah, that would be great.

John: Well, I must be going. I’ll call you sometime.

Tom: OK. See you later.

John: Alright. See you.

I think summer is the best season of all because it is warm, the nature is beautiful and we have great opportunities for rest. Summer is a time of holidays. We can go anywhere, spend our time near a river or a lake on fresh, green grass, swim in warm water, or climb mountains, play different games, ride a bicycle and so on.
I spend my summer holidays at my granny’s. There are many things there to do. What I did most of the time - I swam in the sea and sunbathed. Sometimes I made a fire with my friends at the seaside and cooked potatoes there. It was wonderful. We told anecdotes to each other, and did everything we wanted. I also got used to walk alone in the forest.
When August was coming to its end, I went on a small voyage by ship. The ship name was “Sevastopol”.
But this summer wasn’t for me only sugar and honey. I have passed through the graduating exams after school and entering exams in the university. So the bigger part of my summer vacations I spent sitting with the books. Of course, it was not interesting, but I’m glad that I did it because now I’m a student of the best university in our country.
Перевод*
Я думаю, лето - самое лучшее время года, потому что тепло, вокруг очень красиво и у нас есть чудесная возможность отдохнуть. Лето - время отпусков и каникул. Мы можем поехать куда угодно, проводить время у реки или озера на свежей зеленой траве, плавать в теплой воде, или подняться в горы, или играть в различные игры, кататься на велосипеде и т.д.

Я провожу летние каникулы у моей бабули. Там есть чем заняться. Большую часть времени я плавал в море и загорал. Иногда я разжигал с друзьями костер на берегу и мы пекли в нем картошку. Это было замечательно. Мы рассказывали друг другу анекдоты, и делали все, что хотели. А еще я часто ходил один в лес.

В конце августа я поехал на небольшую морскую прогулку. Судно называлось "Севастополь".

Но этим летом я не только развлекался. Я через выпускные экзамены в школе и вступительные экзамены в университете. Так что большую часть летних каникул я провел за книгами. Конечно, это было не очень интересно, но я рад, что я через это, потому что теперь я - студент лучшего университета нашей страны. Выбирай сам
