It was a clear day as I stepped on the board for the first time. I (1) was going down the hill and could feel the wind in my face, but I (2) lost control and (3) slid into the snow. What (4) had I done wrong?
My friend (5) helpedme down the first hill and (6) explained how to turn the board. Next moment I (7) was going down the hill but kept falling with every passing minute. Then I (8) realised I (9)was not turning the board properly. I went down a little more, trying it that way.
I finally (10) made it. Now I needed to get on the lift. It (11) was coming so fast that I thought it (12) would knock me over. But then something very strange (13) happened – I found it easy to get on the lift. I felt as if I (14) had done it in the past life.
The next day I tried again and my turns (15) were better.

Я хочу рассказать жуткую историю. Однажды ночью мне показалось, что в моей комнате есть кто-то кроме меня. Я открыл глаза и увидел у окна тень. Она была очень высокая, худая и протягивала ко мне руки. Мне стало страшно, и я закричал так громко как только мог. Я сидел на кровати и кричал. Вдруг в комнату вбежали мои родители. Они были очень напуганы. Папа включил свет, и я перестал кричать. Оказывается, днем мама принесла из зала в мою комнату огромную пальму в большом горшке и поставила ее за штору. Ночью была полная луна, и мне показалось, что это привидение... Мне никогда не было так страшно как в ту ночь

I would like to tell you a horrible story. One night it seemed to me that there was someone besides me in my room. I opened my eyes and saw a woman's shade at the window . She was very tall, thin and she stretched out her arms to me. I was scared and I screamed so loud as I could. I was sitting on the bed and crying. Suddenly my parents ran into my room. They were very frightened. Dad turned on the light, and I stopped screaming. It turned out that in the afternoon, my mother brought a huge palm tree in a large pot from the hall into my room and she put it behind the curtains. That night there was full moon, and it seemed to me that it was a ghost ... 

I have never been so frightened as that night
