Remember the rules of letter writing. You have 30 minutes to do this task.

Dear Ann,

I'm glad to hear that your dream has come true.

I hope you will take good care of your new pet!

In our country, the most popular animals are a dog and a cat. Some people can get birds, fish, hamsters, and even snails. Most often, people have a dog (puppy). And the truth is told by the dog friend of man. In our country there is such a proverb, pets are similar to their owners. Personally, I have a pet dog. My dog's name is (name). Most of all I like to walk with my dog in the park. Are you free tomorrow afternoon? Let's meet with my pets in the park at 6 o’clock. See you tomorrow.

Best wishes.

Tamgaly-Tas is approx.  120 kilometres north-west of Almaty city, in Kazakhstan.

The area is famous for ancient stone carvings, (1) which are called petroglyphs.  (present simple)

The rock carvings (2) were_ found by archaeologists in 1957.  (past simple)

The carvings (3) _were_ made almost 3,000 years ago by a hunting, nomadic community using stone or metal tools but not all of them date from the same period.  (past simple)

The daily lives and the spiritual world of the people (4)_are_ pictured: rituals, dances, ornaments, hunting and herding scenes.  (present simple)

The drawings (5) _are_ best seen in the afternoon on a sunny day. (present simple)

From the nature of the drawings, it is believed that the canyon

(6) _was_ used as a tribal settlement for nomadic peoples dating from the Bronze Age and later.  (past simple)

Some burial mounds and graves (7) _were_ built which indicates the area was also a ritual site.  (past simple)

Unfortunately, many of the stone carvings (8) _are_ damaged as the area suffers from shifts in temperature, rock movements and fires in the steppes.

However, the site (8) _is_ registered by UNESCO as World Cultural Heritage and great care (10) _is_ taken to preserve these outstanding natural and cultural features. (present simple)

Long story short

Past Simple используется для одноразового действия в типо поезд уехал в 6: Train left at 6 p. m. Или же человек сделал что-то в какой-то краткий период времени, это действие не заняло времени: I blew up at myself ( я разозлился на себя)

Past continuous используется для обозначения длительности действия, занимающее какое-либо время. For instance: I was eating my breakfast for 10 min at the morning ( я ела его на протяжении 10 мин. действительно, мы не можем просто проглотить еду!) или же he was reading that book, they were here yesterday, I was going to go to the party but now I don't want to do it.
