Thieves entered the house. Once Stephan decided not to go to school and he didn't say anything to his parents, they were working. He was sitting in his room and drinking tea (past cont). Suddenly he heard that someone is walking in the corridor. He was scared but didn't lose courage and called the police. They said they would come in 5 minutes. Stephan decided to sit in the room. But the theives started opening the doo. Stepa took a vase and stood next to the door. The door has opened. Stephan with all his strength has hit the thieve's head by vase. He fell on the floor. Stephan looked at the person and was very surprised. Turns out it was his father.
Lots of companies do business online. They sell goods and services, or provide INFORMATION to the general public. Doing business online is less EXPENSIVE and more convenient than running a traditional business, with offices and lots of employees. Surprisingly enough, there are lots of very young people among online businessmen. In spite of their age, they are quite SUCCESSFUL and professional. For example, Ben Collins started his own online company when he was REALLY young. He was only 17. He says, “My business is INTERNATIONAL - we work with people from different countries. In a real office, some people would NOT AGREE that someone of my age could be a boss, but when I work online, nobody cares how old I am.”
Susan’s father often had to go to different countries on business. That evening, he came home LATER than usual. He looked tired. Susan KNEW that the next week her father was going to China to discuss a new project. At dinner, her father asked Susan if she WANTED to go with him. It was a bit unexpected but Susan liked the idea at once. It was her SIXTEENTH birthday in a few days. And Susan thought it WILL BE fun to celebrate it abroad. However, there was one thing she wanted to clear up before the trip: “Are you going to be busy from morning till night? I DONT WANT to sit in the hotel all the time alone.” “You won’t have to,” her father reassured Susan. “I HAVE PREPARED all the project papers already. So, while our partners are studying them, we’ll have plenty of time for sightseeing.” “Great!” Susan ran up to her room to pack. “Remember to take some comfortable shoes. Otherwise your FEET will hurt after the long excursions.” Her father’s advice was always practical. In half an hour everything WAS PACKED in a suitcase and Susan called her best friend to tell her the news.
