Tracy was as excited as a child about her first trip abroad. early in the morning, she stopped at a a22 agency and reserved a suite on the signal deck of the queen elizabeth ii. the next three days she spent buying clothes and luggage. on the morning of the sailing, tracy hired a limousine to drive her to the pier. when she a23 at pier 90, where the queen elizabeth ii was docked, it was crowded with photographers and television reporters, and for a moment tracy was panic stricken. then she realized they were interviewing the two men posturing at the foot of the gangplank. the members of the crew were helping the passengers with their luggage. on deck, a steward looked at tracy’s ticket and a24 her to her stateroom. it was a lovely suite with a private terrace. it had been ridiculously expensive but tracy a25 it was worth it. she unpacked and then wandered along the corridor. in almost every cabin there were farewell parties going on, with laughter and champagne and conversation. she felt a sudden ache of loneliness. there was no one to see her a26 no one for her to care about, and no one who cared about her. she was sailing into a completely unknown future. suddenly she felt the huge ship shudder as the tugs started to pull it out of the harbor, and she stood a27 the passengers on the boat deck, watching the statue of liberty slide out of a28 and then she went exploring. a22 1) journey 2) trip 3) travel 4) tourist a23 1) achieved 2) arrived 3) entered 4) reached a24 1) set 2) came 3) headed 4) directed a25 1) determined 2) resolved 3) decided 4) assured a26 1) in 2) off 3) of 4) after a27 1) among 2) along 3) between 4) besides a28 1) glance 2) stare 3) sight 4) look

in our family easter is one of the most important holidays of the year and traditions of celebrating easter in our family are very bright, colorful and cheerful. 

so, in the morning we went to the nearest church where the religious service was taken place.   it was so amazing. we brought easter baskets filled with eggs, bread and other food to the easter service to consecrate them. 

after the service we went home and ate specially prepared food:   easter lamb, easter eggs,  chocolate eggs, easter bunny, sausage, ham and other tasty things. 

then my parents let me go for a walk with my friends. the weather was wonderful, it was sunny and warm. we rode our bikes and skates and had fun. in the evening we went to the cinema and watch an interesting film.
