Boris wakes up when it is already quite light. He looks at his watch. It is a quarter to seven. Quick! Boris jumps out of bed and runs to the bath-room. He has just time to take a cold shower and I drink a glass of tea with bread and butter. He is in a hurry to catch the eight o'clock train. At the railway station he meets three other boys from his group. They all have small backpacks and fishing-rods. In less than an hour they get off the train at a small station near a wood. They walk very quickly and soon find themselves on the shore of a large lake. The boys spend the whole day there fishing, boating and swimming. They return home late at night, tired but happy.

Задание №2. Передайте следующий рассказ в Past Simple. Закончите его, представив, что Питеру удалось убежать.

Peter wakes up. He opens his eyes. He is in the house. He is lying on the floor in Mary’s room. Mary isn’t there. The room is dark. There’s a big piece of wood near the window. Peter’s head hurts. He tries to move his hands. He can’t. His hands are tired behind his back. His feet are tired too. Peter doesn’t know what the time is. He doesn’t know what day it is. His mouth is dry. He makes an attempt to shout, he calls for somebody. No one comes. Only dead silence comes as an answer. Then a brilliant idea strikes his mind. He moves his legs to and fro. Slowly he approaches the window.
