1) They go by air, but this time they decided to go by sea. 2) They bought tickets and travelled all through the night to Calais. 3) They were in time to go on board the ship waiting at the quay. 4) They went straight down to the restaurant for breakfast. 5) They saw that the coast of France was disappearing and ahead were the white cliffs of Dover. 6) They joined the many passengers who were leaning on the rails watching the English coast. 7) It seemed much more exciting than getting off a plane at London Airport. 8) At the entrance to the Customs Office their passports were checked. 9) The officer did not ask them to open their cases and in a minute they were through the gate, on the platform and seated on a London train.
Однажды в субботу зиму, мои лучшие друзья Эми, Мария,Грид Энди и я решили провести выходные у дяди в большом старом доме, в стране. Это была бурная снаружи, поэтому решили провести уютный вечер за беседой в гостиной внизу. Вдруг, раздался мощный порыв ветра. Свет замерцал, затем погас совсем. `Каково было это?` Я сказал. "Не волнуйся, Джон, это просто отключение питания,` Gred меня успокоил. Мы провели смеясь и рассказывая страшные истории в темноте. Спустя некоторое время, последовала яркая вспышка молнии, озарившие всю комнату. Раздался громкий вздох.`Энди пропал!` Эми плакала.
