1. I spent last summer at my grandparents’. Their cottage is situated not far from a small, quiet and beautiful town Myshkin on the Volga. There are six rooms in their cottage: three downstairs and three upstairs. My grandfather even has a study; there are many-many books and a computer there. The most interesting place in the house is the attic. There are many things which remind me of my childhood. The next-door neighbours are sociable and caring; they help my grandparents when we are away. In my childhood I used to spend every summer here /at my grandparents’/, that’s why I have a lot of friends. There is a huge football pitch not far from the house, and last summer we often played football. We, of course, went camping, set tents and slept in sleeping bags. It was cool! But I did not only enjoy my life, I also had to do household chores: I cleaned the whole house with a vacuum cleaner. My friends offered to help me to repair my room. We used the vacuum hose to whitewash it. It was a wonderful summer!
2. - Ann, I’d like a word with you.
- Oh, what have I done now?
- Look, the kitchen is such a mess/ look at the state of the kitchen. Can’t you tidy it up after yourself?
- I am busy, I am working on the computer.
- Don’t forget you also have to do household chores. I work from morning till evening, go shopping, cook dinner.
- You are right, mum. I’ll wash the dishes and tidy up everything in five minutes.
- That’s better! Thanks!
