My favourite place is the city park near our house. I often go there. There are a lot of trees and flowers there. There are also plenty of benches. Some people come there to read a book. I also like to read books there once in a while, but moreover I prefer to skate there.

Мое любимое место - это городской парк у нашего дома. Я часто хожу туда. Там много деревьев и цветов. Также там много лавочек. Некоторые люди любят приходить туда почитать книгу. Я тоже люблю там почитать иногда, но больше этого я люблю там кататься на роликах.

Mrs. Williams loved flowers and had a small but beautiful garden. In the summer, her roses were always the best in the street. One summer afternoon the bell rang, and when she went to the front door, she saw a small boy outside. He was about seven years old, and was holding a big bunch of beautiful roses in his hand. He said he was selling roses and asked Mrs. Williams if she wanted some. The boy added that they were quite cheap: five pence for a big bunch and that they were fresh, as he had picked them that afternoon. Mrs. Williams told the boy that she picked roses whenever she wanted and she didn't pay anything for them, because she had lots in her garden. The small boy said that she was mistaken, as there weren't any roses in her garden; they were here in his hand!
