Thirty years ago I was still unmarried and was living with my mother. One morning in April while I was reading a newspaper I came across some information about a remarkable find of Roman silver. It had been discovered three years before by a farmer from Mildenhall, in Siffolk, but the discovery for some reason had been kept secret until then. The newspaper article said the treasure has been sent to the British Museum. The name of the farmer was given as Gordon Butcher. The moment I read the story I sprang up from my chair and rushed out to my car.
Тридцать лет назад я был еще не женат и жил с мамой. Однажды утром в апреле, когда я читал газету, я наткнулся на информацию о замечательной находке римского серебра. Это было обнаружено три года ранее фермером из Милденхолла, в графстве Саффолк, но открытие почему-то держали в тайне до сего времени. Газетная статья сообщала что клад был отправлен в Британский музей. Имя фермера было Гордон Мясник. В тот момент как я прочитал историю, я вскочил с кресла и бросился к машине.
Mary: When are you flying to Barcelona, Kevin?Kevin: I'm leaving on Tuesday and coming back on Friday. Mary: So, you are going to have three relaxing days there. Kevin: I wouldn't say so. It's a business trip on the first place. But if I have a free time I will visit some sights of the city.. Mary: Are you flying by Spanish airlines? Kevin: I've go the tickets from Delta Airlines. It's not the first time when I'm flying with them. Delta is a reliable company. Mary: I see. Have you prepared your swimming trunks and sunscreen? You know, it's really hot in Barcelona at this time of the year. And there are wonderful beaches. Kevin: I heard so. But I'm not a fan of swimming and sunbathing. I prefer to spend my time seeing places of interest. And I know that Barcelona is full of such places. Mary: For example, which sight would you like to visit? Kevin: Let's say, La Sagrada Familia. Mary: Whats' that?Kevin: It's a The Temple of the Holly Family in Barcelona. This building is famous as one of the best projects of Antonio Gaudi. Mary: And who is Antonio Gaudi?Kevin: Mary, I think that you should go to Spain, not me. You know almost nothing about this country. Gaudi is the most famous Spanish architect.. Mary: Ah, I see. I would love to visit Spain some day. And I'm a bit jealous that you are flying there. Will you bring me a small present from there?Kevin: Yes, of course. What do you want?Mary: Something really small, like a postcard or a magnet with a nice view of Barcelona.Kevin: No problem. I will bring you something nice. Mary: By the way, where are you going to stay? Kevin: The company has booked a room in the hotel for me. I don't know which hotel yet, but I know that it's a nice suite right in the city center. Mary: Lucky you! I'm sure you'll have a great view from your window. Kevin: I hope so.Mary: Oh well. All I have to say is have a good trip and take care of yourself. Kevin: Thank you Mary! Mary: Ah, nearly forgot. Please, be careful with your luggage and don't leave your things unattended. There are plenty of thieves at the airport, at the hotel and other crowded places.Kevin. All right. I will be careful.
