Once upon a time there lived a King, Midas by name. He (1 WAS) a bit gloomy because he (2. LOVED) gold better than anything else, except his daughter. Midas (3. SPENT) days and often nights counting anxiously the pieces of gold he (4. COLLECTED или HAD COLLECTED). Once when he (5. WAS COUNTING) solemnly his money a stranger (6. ENTERED) the room. He (7. BENT) his head and (8. SAID): “Midas, (9. ARE) you really happy now that you (10. HAVE COLLECTED) so much gold which it (11. IS) difficult (12. TO WEIGH)?” “No,” (13. MUMBLED) Midas. “I WILL never (14. BE) happy until everything that I (15. TOUCH) (16. BECOMES) gold.” “You shall have what you wish!” (17. PROMISED) the stranger. The next morning while Midas (18. WAS DRESSING) he (19. NOTICED) that his clothes (20. TURNED) into gold. He (21. WENT) into the garden. He (22. WALKED) there for an hour and everything he (23. TOUCHED) (24. BECAME) gold at once. After he (25. WALKED) along his favourite path Midas (26. TURNED) to the house. Suddenly his daughter (27. CAME) in sight. It was clear she (28. HAD BEEN WORKING) in the garden for some time already as she (29. HAS PLANTED) a lot of flowers. She (30. RUN) to her father and (31. TOOK) his hand. She (32. TURNED) to gold at once. “What HAVE I (33. DONE)?” (34. CRIED) Midas. “I always (35. WANTED) more and more gold. I (36. DREAMT) about more riches. I (37. WAS) wrong Gold (38. IS) not the most important thing in the world. It HAS never (39. BEEN), it never will be.”
Dear Diana, Thanks a lot for your letter. It was a real surprise. I was really pleased to hear that everything is all right with you. Sorry I haven't written for so long but I was really busy. You asked me to tell you about my school life. Well, I started going to school at the age of seven. Now I am in my third year(здесь всё зависит от того, в каком вы классе. В моём варианте указан 3). We have five lessons every day. We have the English language, the Russian language, P.E., Handicraft and Maths. As for me, I study well and never stay at school after lessons. My mother comes and takes me home. And what about you? Do you usually stay at school after lessons? Who do you go home with? By the way, right now we are having spring holidays and I am enjoying myself. When do you have holidays? Anyway, I have to go now. My friend is waiting for me as we are going to the cinema. Hope to hear from you soon. Lots of love, Своё имя
