Linda shook his hand, Emma smiled and said: “We (25) ____________________(BE) happy to meet you, Tim. Your mum showed us your photo, but you are much (26) ____________________(YOUNG) there.

Tim sat at the table. Emma had some papers in her hands but Tim couldn’t read what (28) ____________________(PRINT) there – the letters were too small.

Most people love jokes. A good joke can break the ice and make the conversation enjoyable. My friend’s hobby is collecting jokes. When he (20) ____________________(HEAR) a good joke, he writes it down on a special card. The cards (21) ____________________(KEEP) in a box in his room. When I visit (22) ____________________(HE), I never miss a chance to read a joke from his collection.

Watson said that he (25) ____________________(SEE) millions of stars.

“And what does it tell you?” Holmes went on his interrogation.

“Well, if we apply our deductive method, we’ll come to several conclusions. Astronomically, there are billions of planets. My (26) ____________________(TWO) conclusion is astrological – I observe Saturn in Leo. And, meteorologically, it’ll be a beautiful day tomorrow. I wish we (27) ____________________(HAVE) this kind of weather more often in this country. And what does the sky tell you, Holmes?”

Holmes was silent for a moment and then said, “Someone (28) ____________________(STEAL) our tent!”

Lucky, a big black cat, went missing shortly after our family moved to a new house. He was curious and enjoyed exploring the environment. It often made us worry about (20) ____________________(HE).

Mum often said, “I wish our Lucky (21) ____________________(BE) less curious. I feel better when he is in the house, safe and lazy.” As we (22) ____________________(NOT/CAN) keep him at home, we made him wear a special tag. Our address (23) ____________________(WRITE) on it in large printed letters.

Mum said: “If one day Lucky gets missing, the tag (24) ____________________(HELP) us find him”.

Lucky disappeared on the (25) ____________________(THREE) day after moving house. We looked for the cat everywhere. We asked all our new neighbours about him. We even asked all the (26) ____________________(POLICEMAN) in our district if they had seen him. But nobody had seen a cat that looked like our Lucky. In the end, we (27) ____________________(LOSE) hope.

Two weeks later I was passing by our old house. On the porch there was a cat that looked strikingly like Lucky. And it was Lucky! I grabbed him and brought him home.

“Mum, look who I (28) ____________________(FIND)!” I cried to mum. “The new owner told me the cat had been waiting for us in our old house. Nobody could inform us about him because the address on the cat’s tag is our old address.”

I come from England but now I live permanently in Québec, Canada. When my parents (20) ____________________(BRING) me to Canada, I was fifteen. It was the winter and I (21) ____________________(IMPRESS) by the amount of snow there. I asked my new friends what they usually (22) ____________________(DO) for entertainment in such a cold climate.

Their answer was simple, “In winter (23) ____________________(CHILD) and adults go skiing and skating.” Before arriving in Canada I had never tried skating and my Canadian ice experience was really painful. To start with, it took (24) ____________________(I) half an hour to put on the skates. I (25) ____________________(NOT/KNOW) how to move so my new friends showed me some basic techniques.

However, when I was left alone on the ice, I (26) ____________________(FALL) over immediately. When I opened my eyes, my new friends were standing around. They weren’t laughing, they looked worried.

“Are you OK?” they asked.

“Fine,” I said, “I wish I (27) ____________________(CAN) skate as easily as you do.”

“You definitely will,” they smiled. And they were right. By the end of my (28) ____________________(ONE) winter in Canada, I felt confident on the ice. More than that, I found out that skating was a really exciting activity!

When I was little, I loved reading books written by Roald Dahl. They were my favourite choice of bedtime story. When Mum asked me what book I wanted, I always (20) ____________________(CHOOSE) a book by Dahl. Mum readily agreed. She said she (21) ____________________(ENJOY) reading him too in spite of the fact that she was an adult and had a very serious job.

In those years there (22) ____________________(BE) lots of Dahl's books in our home library. And to me he is still the best children's author of the (23) ____________________(TWENTY) century.

Roald Dahl started as an adult writer. His first book (24) ____________________(PUBLISH) in 1942. Later he began writing children's books. Many of the (25) ____________________(STORY) are based on Dahl's own childhood memories. Several of his books are now successful films, for example ‘Matilda’, ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ and ‘Fantastic Mr Fox’.

I'm sure you (26) ____________________(SEE) at least one of them! When you shop for children's books, Dahl is the (27) ____________________(EASY) choice. His books are entertaining and full of jokes. Roald Dahl is an author that you can never grow tired of.

Now I read his books to (28) ____________________(I) son. He is too small yet and cannot read himself.

Most adults miss their childhood. “Your school years are the (20) ____________________(GOOD) years of your life,” – have you ever heard that phrase?

Just recently, while I was on my way to work, I started thinking back to my own school years. They probably were not trouble-free but there (21) ____________________(BE) many reasons for us to feel happy at school. One of them was spending every single day with friends. We (22) ____________________(NOT/GET) tired of being together.

The (23) ____________________(TWO) one was uniform. Yes, in my opinion, the school uniform had more advantages than disadvantages. It was dark green, unfashionable but comfortable. It (24) ____________________(MAKE) of natural materials. Besides, the uniform (25) ____________________(SAVE) a lot of time in the mornings.

Now it (26) ____________________(TAKE) me hours to decide what to wear. Another thing is that I don’t really like sport. But at school we (27) ____________________(PLAY) football, netball, hockey and so on. Sport was compulsory. Now I realise that this was a good thing!

And of course there were… holidays! Christmas, Easter, half-term, and the jackpot – the summer holidays. I wish I (28) ____________________(HAVE) as much free time now.

This story happened long ago. My son was six and we lived in an old house near a large park. There (20) ____________________(BE) lots of people in the park at weekends and we enjoyed walking and playing there too.

One day, my son (21) ____________________(BRING) an injured bird from the park. It was a crow. Its wing (22) ____________________(BREAK) and the bird could not fly. I didn’t know what to do with the crow, but my son said that he (23) ____________________(TAKE) care of it.

“If you were a couple of years (24) ____________________(OLD), you could manage it. But I doubt you can do it now,” I tried to talk him out of keeping the crow but finally agreed to take the bird home.

The next day we took the crow to the vet. The vet fixed and bandaged the wing and explained to (25) ____________________(WE) what medicines we should give to the bird.

“Ok,” he said, as we left, “I (26) ____________________(DO) everything I can. There’s no need to bring this crow here any more. The bird is young and strong, and I think it (27) ____________________(RECOVER) soon. This is the good news. The bad news is that it will never be able to fly again.”

“We’ll see,” my son (28) ____________________(NOT/WANT) to agree with this fact too easily.

Kate called me early in the morning. It was the (20) ____________________(TWO) day of holidays; I felt angry with her for waking me up.

“What (21) ____________________(HAPPEN)?” I didn’t sound very polite, but she paid no attention to that.

“Oh, nothing! I want to go shopping today and wondered if you wanted to go with (22) ____________________(I).”

“No, I don’t want to.”

“But it (23) ____________________(NOT/TAKE) you long! I promise”.

My first impulse was to say “no” – unlike most (24) ____________________(WOMAN) I hated shopping. But Kate sounded so unhappy that I felt sorry for her.

“Ok, what do you need to buy?”

Kate’s voice (25) ____________________(BECOME) cheerful again. She excitedly explained to me that she (26) ____________________(WANT) to buy a pair of hiking boots and a raincoat. That (27) ____________________(BE) strange as Kate had never been fond of hiking.

“I want to take up hiking as a new hobby,” went on Kate. “Bob Smith says that it’s very exciting.”

Now I knew what was going on. Bob Smith, the captain of the school baseball team, was the (28) ____________________(POPULAR) boy in our school. All the girls wanted to attract his attention.

I'm studying Italian in a summer school in Tuscany. I arrived a few days ago. It’s my (20) ____________________(ONE) trip to Italy. I like this country very much though I (21) ____________________(NOT/SEE) its main tourist attractions yet. Actually it was my mum's idea to send me here.

Yesterday, while I (24) ____________________(HAVE) dinner in the cafeteria, four other students sat at the same table. We got acquainted. Two of them were Argentines, then a Russian and a Greek. A mix of cultures! We started chatting in Italian, laughing, telling jokes and sharing our life (25) ____________________(STORY). It was lots of fun.

I even started to speak Spanish with the Argentines, and our sentences became a mixture of both Italian and Spanish. But it did not matter at all! No problem. We easily (26) ____________________(UNDERSTAND) each other. I wish all people (27) ____________________(SPEAK) foreign languages. The more languages you know – the better. Languages help (28) ____________________(WE) understand the culture and mentality of other people. And they help us make friends.

By today’s standards, my mobile phone is pretty basic. It’s a Nokia. It’s a small device that receives telephone calls and sends text messages. Other than that, my phone (20) ____________________(NOT/DO) much.

Most of my friends wish they (21) ____________________(HAVE) smartphones because they are cool and trendy. They say the (22) ____________________(GOOD) thing about a smartphone is that you ‘can do everything with it!’ That’s right, smartphones have many more functions than a simple phone, however, not all of them are needed.

In everyday life, smartphones (23) ____________________(USE) mainly for checking social networking sites, replying to emails, and playing games. Grown-ups as well as (24) ____________________(CHILD) like playing games.

Anyway, I prefer my good old Nokia. It’s my (25) ____________________(ONE) mobile phone. When I bought it, it didn’t cost (26) ____________________(I) very much. And I am not afraid anyone will ever steal it. It’s also very reliable.

Yesterday I dropped it. It (27) ____________________(FLY) down the staircase and hit the wall. I thought that (28) ____________________(BE) the end of it. But nothing of the kind – it still works properly!

The phone rang in Clark Taylor’s house at nearly three in the morning. He answered it only after the (20) ____________________(FIVE) ring.

“Hello,” Clark said in a sleepy voice.

“Mr. Taylor. Thank goodness. I need your help.”

Clark definitely (21) ____________________(KNOW) the voice. However, he was sleepy and (22) ____________________(NOT/CAN) remember who it was.

“Mr. Taylor!” the man said. “I am in trouble. The police allowed me only one phone call. And I am calling you.”

Then, the fog cleared. Although nearly ten years had passed since (23) ____________________(THEY) last meeting, Clark was able to recognise the voice. It belonged to Martin Hall, one of the (24) ____________________(BRIGHT) math students he had ever had.

“Martin, what’s happened? Where are you?” Clark asked.

“In the police station. I (25) ____________________(ARREST) at the railway station two hours ago. I was going to a conference. The police mistook me for another person. The irony is that I really do look like the criminal that they are looking for. Besides that, I (26) ____________________(LOSE) my ID card and I can’t prove who I am. You are the only person in this town who knows me. Can you help me?” Martin Hall asked.

“If you give me the address, I (27) ____________________(COME) at once,” Clark said, jumping up of the bed.

It was not difficult for him to prove that Martin Hall was his former student. Clark brought a scientific journal with Martin’s article and a photo of him. The (28) ____________________(POLICEMAN) were surprised to find out that their prisoner was a capable young scientist.

The house (23) ____________________(BUILD) by Simon himself, with a bit of help from his friends. The result is impressive. The home is made of natural materials, such as wood, stone and mud. It uses solar panels for energy and its water (24) ____________________(COME) from a nearby spring.

It took Simon four months to complete his fairytale home. He managed to create a modern wooden eco-home – one of the (25) ____________________(WONDERFUL) houses you can imagine.

Simon Dale said, “I (26) ____________________(START) working on a new house of the same eco-style. My (27) ____________________(TWO) house will be smarter than the first one. My son (28) ____________________(BE) five now and I hope to celebrate his tenth birthday in a new house.”
