Two or three times a week a man came into her shop to buy bread and very soon she began to show interest in him.He was a man of middle age with spectacles and a short brown beard.His clothes were poor,but he looked clean and had very good manners. Once Miss Martha saw red and brown stains on his fingers.She was sure then that he was an artist and very poor one.Of course he lived in a little room , where he painted pictures and ate stale bread , and thought of good things in Miss Martha's bakery.Often when Miss Martha sat down to eat her good dinner, she thought about the poor artist and wanted him to share her meal instead of eating his stale bread. Miss Martha, as you have been told, had a very kind hearюTo be an artist-and to live on stale bread!But a genius often has to struggle before it is recognized. How good would it be for art if a genius was helped by two thousand dollars in the bank, a bakery, and a kind heart too – but these were only dreams. Often now when he came, he talked for some time with Miss Martha.And he continued buying stale bread, never anything else. She thought he was looking thin.She wanted to add something good to eat to his bread, but she had no courage to do it.She knew about artists' pride.

Last summer I went to the Black sea with my parents. We stayed there for a fortnight. I went swimming every day. The weather was wonderful all the time, the water was warm and clean. We bathed and watched small fishes and jelly fish in the water. Sometimes we saw sea stars or sea shells there. Once we even saw a dolphin. We often sat on the beach and watched ships sailing in the distance or looked at numerous seagulls gliding over the sea. We ate ice-cream and fruit on the beach and lay in the sun. I had a nice tan by the end of our rest. I made a lot of friends and we played volleyball on the beach together. Every morning we had nice breakfast and a small run along the coast. We saw amazing waterfalls and visited a mountain lake. My days were full of different events and on returning back home in the evening I was exhausted but slept with a smile on my face. In a word, I had a wonderful time, and unforgettable experiences this summer. Next year I will certainly go to the seaside again.
летом я ездила на Черное море с моими родителями. Мы были там две недели. Я ходила каждый день плавать. Погода была замечательная все время, вода была теплой и голубой. Мы купались и смотрели рыбок и медуз в воде. Иногда мы видели морских звезд или морских ракушек. Однажды мы даже видели дельфина. Мы часто сидели на пляже и смотрели, как корабли плывут в отдалении и смотрели на многочисленных чаек, скользящих над морем. Мы ели мороженое и фрукты на пляже и загорали. У меня был красивый загар к концу нашего отдыха. Я нашла там много друзей и мы играли в волейбол на пляже. Каждое утро мы завтракали и потом совершали маленький пробег вдоль побережья. Мы видели красивые водопады и побывали на горном озере. Мои дни были полны разных событий и возвращаясь вечером домой, я была усталой, но спала с улыбкой на лице. Одним словом, у меня было там прекрасное время и я получила незабываемые впечатления. В следующем году я обязательно поеду снова к морю.
