***TASK 10. Translate into English
Один из моих бывших одноклассников – геолог. Он никогда не бывает дома больше трех месяцев в году. Весенние, летние и осенние месяцы он проводит в экспедициях. Ранней весной, зимой и поздней осенью, когда холодно и идут дожди, он живет дома со своей женой, тещей и двумя детьми.
В экспедициях мой друг спит в палатке, и сам готовит себе еду на костре. Как вы думаете, что он себе готовит? Если кто-то полагает, что его меню включает бифштексы, ростбифы, пудинги с заварным кремом и клубничное мороженое с взбитыми сливками, то он очень ошибается. Мой друг совсем не любит готовить и считает, что консервированное мясо и овощи, сухие супы и растворимый кофе – самые вкусные блюда, приготовление которых не занимает много времени.
Когда мой друг живет дома, он не разрешает своей жене и теще проводить на кухне больше получаса. Он полагает, что этого времени вполне достаточно, чтобы приготовить обед из трех блюд. Что же думают по этому поводу его родные? Они стараются не спорить с ним, потому что три месяца, которые он проводит дома, пролетают так быстро, что никто не хочет омрачать их.
Когда мой друг снова уезжает, все возвращается на свои места: бабушка и мама часами стоят у плиты и готовят любимые блюда для мальчиков. Скучают ли сыновья за своим отцом, когда он в экспедиции? И да, и нет. С одной стороны, они не хотят расставаться с ним надолго, и очень расстраиваются, когда он пакует свой рюкзак. Но с другой стороны, в глубине души они рады, что мама и бабушка снова будут кормить их любимыми блюдами.
