Brian: Too many people have their birthdays in February.
Karen: You're right, Brian. There's Eric's on the fourth and ...
Brian: ... Sue's on the seventh.
Karen: Joyce’s on the tenth.
Brian: And Tony's on the eighteenth.
Karen: The sixteenth.
Brian: Oh yes, you're right, the sixteenth.
The eighteenth that's my grandmother's birthday. - My problem is, I haven't got enough ideas for birthday presents for all these people.
Karen: And just try to find a present for someone like Tony. It's impossible. He's already got everything.
Brian: Yes, that's the trouble. Give him a book - if it’s his kind of book, he's already got it.
Karen: The same with records. He's got all the important things - symphonies, concertos, operas ...
Brian: Musicals, jazz ...
Karen: He must have over a thousand records.
Brian: You can't give him a book or a record, not even a pen or a lighter - he's got
too many of them already.
Karen: Yes, with Tony it's hopeless. But Sue isn't such a problem.
Brian: No, she isn't. What have you got for her?
Karen: An earthenware jug
Brian: A jug?
Karen: Yes. It's rather nice, you know. She can use it as a vase. She has always got a lot of flowers.
Brian: Yes. A vase is always useful. But what about Joyce? I've no idea what to
give her. She isn't a great reader, and she isn't interested in music. A vase
or a candlestick? But she's hardly ever at home.
Karen: What about an umbrella ... or a scarf... ?
Brian: A scarf - that's a good present for Joyce. Thanks for the tip, Karen.

Cindy liked parks. She took long walks in the nearby park almost every day. Her classmates, however, __didn't share__ her interest and Cindy usually walked alone. Cindy’s parents worried that she___had no friends. “I wish you __spent__ more time with your classmates. Don’t you feel bored in the park?” “It’s ok, Mum, I just feel much _better__ alone than with people who can’t understand me,” Cindy usually answered. “Parks are a lot more fun to spend time in than hanging out in a shopping centre.” And her mother didn’t know what to say. One day, Cindy returned from the park very excited. “Guess, who I met in the park!” she said, and she told her parents the whole story. “I _was walking__ along the central avenue when I saw a group of people. They _were_ students of the Biology faculty of the university. They told me__ about the plan to rearrange the park. A large lake is going to be made in the centre. There will be wild animals there like hares, squirrels and even _foxes_. Yesterday, the plan __was approved__ by the City Council and work starts tomorrow. I want to join the volunteer team!”

When I was at school, I spent two summers at my grandfather’s. They were the _best_ holidays I’ve ever had. Grandpa lived alone in a country cottage near a small river. Grandpa’s hobby was making birdhouses. He always said that he _needed_ a hobby to fill his free time. Grandpa’s workshop was full of all kinds of tools. There _was_ a big table, hammers, nails, paints, and what not. And all the tools _were kept_ carefully in their places. That was Grandpa’s number one rule. The __second__ rule was, “Never buy a new tool if the old one still works.” In the workshop, when he __was making __ the birdhouses, I asked him lots of questions about birds. He _knew_ a lot about them! He could tell one bird from another by their songs and footprints. I was surprised that Grandpa _didn't paint_ the birdhouses in bright colours. He explained to _me_ that birds prefer natural colours that make their houses more difficult to notice and, for that reason, safer.
