As she stepped into the hall after nearly thirty years of
absence, she realised at once that she shouldn't have come
back. The smell of wood smoke, damp stone and ancient paper
brought the past back so powerfully that it nearly knocked her
backwards. In an instant she felt like a young girl again, alone
and frightened in the house. She remembered feeling very, very
cold - not from the damp and the near-freezing temperature,
but because a terrible new life was beginning. And she could
do nothing to stop it.

There are many Islands on the Volga river. Why is this Island my favorite place? Well, I like it because there are no people. It is very quiet and green. There are some sea-gulls there. What do we do there? We have picnics, play badminton, swim a lot. We go by boat early in the morning, and come late in the evening. We enjoy our picnic very much.
Мое любимое место это не город. Это небольшой остров на реке Волга. Я езжу туда с моей семьей летом.
На реке Волга есть много островов. Почему этот остров мое любимое место? Ну, мне нравится потому что здесь нет людей. Тут очень тихо и зелено. Здесь есть несколько чаек. Что мы делаем там? Мы устраиваем пикники, игрем в бадминтон, много плаваем. Мы едем на лодке рано утром и приезжаем поздно вечером. Мы очень наслаждаемся нашим пикником.
