When summer vacation coming to an end, we begin to prepare for school. it is no accident that it is the first day of the school year marks the day of knowledge, it is called so. after all, what school? this is the place where we learn a lot of new and interesting things about the world, the mysteries of nature and ourselves. we gain knowledge and skills that will be useful to us throughout life, and learn to understand the beauty, to communicate with people to develop their talents. the first of september - joyful day when, after the summer holidays, we return to school to learn new skills and meet friends. this is the day when empty without school students again filled with children's voices and the rustle of notebooks. again joyfully ringing school bell, announcing the beginning and end of the lesson. i still remember how one day on september mom brought me to school the first time. i remember it was a little scary and insanely fun! so many children, flowers, music, new neat form how many unexplored ahead! i knew i was an adult, not some kind ditsadkovets, and with trepidation expecting what will be my first lesson. on this day, we go to school especially good, funny, with bouquets of flowers. our teachers, head teachers, the director said many warm parting words, we want academic excellence. in my opinion, this is good - to begin the school year with the holidays, it charges a good mood on the difficult but interesting training routine.
VIII. 1. I asked him how long ago he started learning German and if he can speak German. 2. He said that he has been learning this language for a long time, but has not yet learned to speak quickly. 3. I didn't know you were still here. I thought you were long gone. 4. He thought that everyone had already left, but his friends were still waiting for him. He asked how long they had been waiting for him. 5. They were surprised that I didn't know anything about it yet. They thought that I had known everything for a long time. 6. She was still pondering what he had told her. 7. The other day I met an old drut on the street. We have not seen each other for ten years, but he has not changed at all during this time. 8. He woke up early and looked out the window. The rain is not over yet. 9. I looked into the reading room. It was empty: everyone had already left, the librarian was putting books on the shelves. 10. She was not surprised by this: such things had already happened. 11. I opened the door and looked into the classroom: they were still writing the test, only one girl had already passed her work to the teacher, although two hours had already passed.
