Meerkats
My favourite animals are meerkats. They live
in southern Africa in the Kalahari Desert.
Meerkats are brown with grey stripes and black ears.
They're quite small - about the same size as a rabbit.
They've got a long body and a long tail, but short legs.
They can stand on two legs,
They live in groups. There are between five and thirty
meerkats in a group
They sleep in holes in the ground. Early in the morning,
they leave their holes and look for food. They eat
insects, plants, lizards, eggs and mice. They can even
eat poisonous animals like scorpions and spiders. When
meerkats eat, some of them stand on two legs and guard
the others. That's because some other animals like to eat
meerkats. When the guards see an eagle, a snake or a fox,
they bark and all the meerkats run back to their holes.

I saw him in the library last Wednesday.
They often gone for a walk after school. She sat in the arm-chair and listening to Bill's story. She received this letter from her boyfriend last Tuesday. He knew her very well. My parents lived in New-York in 1975. They run not now. She waked up at 8"00, then cleaned her teeth, had breakfast and went to school. My sister cooked dinner at this moment. He was present at the meeting last week. I went to the library every Monday. She wrote a composition yesterday. Don't come into the classroom, the student wrote a dictation here.

MY VISIT ТО THE CINEMA

I really enjoy going to the cinema; it is one of the favorite pastimes even though I don’t really go that often. Fortunately, the cinema isn’t too far away from where I live and I can get there by bus within ten minutes. I am very lucky to live in a big town because it means that I have a choice of cinemas and a wider choice of films.

Watching films is always very relaxing and entertaining. The convenience of the cinema is that you can choose what time you want to go because there are usually a number of showings.

 You know, it is popular to go out somewhere first and then go on to a late-night film. The cinema is particularly popular among students because they don’t have to pay full price for some films and is therefore a reasonably cheap form of entertainment.

There are a variety of films available today. I especially like comedies or love stories. Detective stories with a lot of action and suspense grab my attention also. I particularly enjoy films where you become so involved with the story that you forget you are sitting in a cinema.

 The last film I went to see was an American comedy (Thriller called «Who’s Watching the Baby-sitter? »). I really enjoyed it because it was funny, it had a lot of action in it and the end was so unexpected.

Nowadays cinemas are so comfortable that it is almost like being at home so it is a luxury to go to the cinema.

МОЙ ПОХОД В КИНО

 Я действительно люблю ходить в кино; это — одно из моих любимейших времяпрепровождений, хотя на самом деле, я не хожу туда часто. К счастью, кинотеатр не слишком далеко от моего дома и я могу добраться туда автобусом за десять минут. Мне посчастливилось жить в большом городе, и это значит, что у меня есть выбор кинотеатров, которые я могу посетить, и более широкий выбор фильмов, которые я могу посмотреть.

Просмотр фильмов всегда очень расслабляет и развлекает. Преимущество кинотеатров состоит в том, что Вы можете выбрать, во сколько Вы хотите пойти и посмотреть фильм, потому что обычно есть несколько сеансов.  

Знаете, довольно часто люди предпочитают выйти где-либо прогуляться, а затем пойти на последний сеанс. Кино особенно популярно среди студентов, потому что им не приходится платить полную цену за некоторые сеансы, и поэтому это довольно дешевый времяпрепровождения.

Сегодня доступно огромное разнообразие фильмов. Мне особенно нравятся комедии или любовные романы. Детективные романы с большим количеством событий и интригой также захватывают мое внимание. Я особенно люблю фильмы, которые захватывают вас настолько, что вы забываете, что сидите в кинотеатре.

Последний фильм, на который я ходил в кинотеатр, был американской комедией-триллером «Кто присмотрит за нянькой?». Фильм мне действительно понравился, так как был забавным, события сменялись быстро и концовка была неожиданной. Кинотеатры в наше время очень удобны, поэтому в них вы чувствуете себя, практически, как дома.
