as the moon rose, they went on their way. As they were moving to the north, they
began to meet the patrols of the French army. The first sentinel saw them and
asked who they were. Heyward told him in French that he was a French officer
and was taking the two daughters of the commander of an English fort to the
French General. Luckily the sentinel believed him and let them pass.
Morning was just beginning. The mountain on which they stood was about a
thousand feet high. The mountains around it were not so high, so the travellers
had a good view of the surroundings. To the north of them lay a large lake. On
the shore of the lake they saw the low buildings and the walls of William Henry.

The land around the Fort had been cleared of wood for some distance. In
different places the travellers could see the sentinels who held a watch against the
enemy. To the south-east of the Fort they saw an entrenched camp in which
Heyward recognized the troops which had left Fort Edward a few minutes before
them. From the woods a little farther to the south rose the smoke of many camp
fires, which showed the presence of Indians. To the south-west, on the shore of
the lake Heyward saw many white tents, guns and a lot of soldiers. There could
be about ten thousand men there, he thought.
So the army of the French General had already arrived at the walls of William
Henry. As the travellers were looking down at the scene which lay like a map at
their feet, they heard the roar of artillery.
“We are a few hours too late,” said the scout. “The French General has already
filled the woods with his Mingoes.”
My name is Artem and I’m fourteen years old. I’d like to tell you a few words about my favourite day of the week. It is Saturday, of course, because on this day my weekend starts. We have a six-day school week, so on Saturday morning I still study. However, starting from the afternoon I’m free till Monday. My friend has once asked me why I like Saturday more than Sunday and I exactly knew the answer. First of all, on Saturday I don’t have to worry about going to bed late. On week days, my parents tell me that I should go to bed early not to be late for school next morning. Even on Sunday they don’t allow me to stay longer than 10 pm, because I have to wake up early on Monday morning. That’s why I like Saturdays more. We don’t usually have many classes on this day, only a few. After that, I meet up with my friends and we go to the local sports ground. Depending on weather, we can play football, volleyball or other outdoor games there. If we are in the mood for pizza or hot-dog, we go to the nearest cafe. In the evening I’m allowed to invite my friends over for a movie or a computer game. Sometimes we play interesting board games. When my friends leave, I can still do whatever I like, for example, play with my hamster, read a book or help my mum to cook something delicious. The main thing is that I can stay up as long as I wish. Sundays are also fun. Sometimes we visit our relatives on this day and I get to play with my cousins. In the evening I have to do my homework and get ready for the school week. By the way, I like weekends even more when they are tied up with special occasions or holidays
На Русском:
Меня зовут Артём и мне четырнадцать лет. Я хотел бы рассказать вам немного о своем любимом дне недели. Это, конечно же, суббота, потому что в этот день начинаются мои выходные. У нас шестидневная школьная неделя, так что в субботу утром я все еще учусь. Однако, начиная со второй половины дня, я свободен до понедельника. Мой друг однажды спросил меня, почему я люблю субботу больше, чем воскресенье, и я точно знал ответ. Прежде всего, в субботу мне не приходится беспокоиться, во сколько лечь спать. В будние дни, мои родители говорят мне рано ложиться спать, чтобы не опоздать в школу на следующее утро. Даже в воскресенье они не позволяют мне бодрствовать более 10 часов вечера, потому что я должен рано вставать в понедельник утром. Вот почему я люблю субботу больше. У нас обычно немного уроков в этот день, всего парочку. После этого я встречаюсь со своими друзьями, и мы идем на спортивную площадку. В зависимости от погоды, там можно играть в футбол, волейбол или другие активные игры. Если мы хотим поесть пиццу или хот-доги, мы идем в ближайшее кафе. Вечером я могу пригласить своих друзей к себе на фильм или компьютерную игру. Иногда мы играем в интересные настольные игры. Когда мои друзья уходят, я все еще могу заниматься любимыми делами, например, играть со своим хомяком, читать книгу или маме готовить что-нибудь вкусненькое. Главное, что я могу бодрствовать столько, сколько захочу. По воскресеньям тоже весело. Иногда мы навещаем наших родственников в этот день и мне удается поиграть со своими двоюродными братьями. Вечером я должен сделать домашнюю работу и подготовиться к школьной неделе. Кстати, мне нравится выходные еще больше, когда они совпадают с особыми датами или праздничными днями.
