Lord crawford and the lion
once lord crawford went lion shooting and took his servant jenkins
with him. it was a safari he (1. dream) of for a long time. the men
(2. walk) through the jungle when they (3. notice) a great and pow
erful lion (4. come out of the bushes. "i never (5. see) such a big
lion in my whole life! it (6. make) a beautiful skin for my drawing
room," thought his lordship and (7. raise) his gun. and the lion
(8. prepare) for a jump. a second later a shot (9. hear) and at the
same time the men saw the lion (10. spring) up into the air right
over his lordship's head. a second later lord crawford (11. know)
that he (12. miss) the animal. he (13. think) he (14. give) a bad gun
and if he (15. have) another gun his shot (16. be) more accurate.
taking a new gun from his servant's hands lord crawford (17. tru)
his skill again. this time he (18. aim) at a small green leaf in the
tree for a minute or two before he (19. shoot). unfortunately the shot
(20. waste) again. "i (21. get) old," said the aristocrat almost in tears.
"my lord." (22. reply) jenkins. "(23. not, worry)! the lion (24. miss)
you too! " and they both (25. turn) around (26. look) for the lion
the powerful animal (27. not, go) away; but it (28. pay) little atten-
tion to his lordship and his servant: the lion (29. practise) short dis-
tance jumps and the expression on his face (30. speak) of unhappy
thoughts.
The main reason why people collect coins, stamps, books etc. is uniqueness of every collection. Every subject has its own distinctive story, and it's tremendous. Moreover, in the process of collecting people apply skills in evaluating, classifying and arranging items.
As for me, I have my own collection of minerals. They fill a bulky closet in my room. Some of them I exchanged, some I bought and some are presents from my friends who know about my hobby. I do not want collecting something else - I am satisfied with my own unique collection.
But people in my country do not collect minerals only. For example, my friend has a huge collection of coins. It is really valuable - he even has a coin minted in 1925! As far as I know, Russian people also adore collecting weapon, posters, magazines, books and many other things.
All in all, collecting things is an exciting hobby for people of all ages. When people collect something, they improve patience and carefulness, find new friends who are collectors too.
To begin with, you clothes reflect your social status. It goes without saying that if you are a business lady you should be dressed appropriately. To put it in another way, if a person is a head of a company, it is preferable to him to wear well branded clothes.
Psychologically, people spend so much time on fashion and buying clothes to forget about different life problems. That is tosay, shopping for clothes can be a good therapy in case of life troubles. However, it is not worth a sacrifice if you are a shopoholic and buy everything you see; the feeling of style and good taste are surely important.

Сегодня все больше и больше людей начинают задумываться о моде. Мы судим незнакомцев по тому, что на них надето, потому что это единственное, что мы о них знаем на данный момент.
Для начала, одежда отражает ваш социальный статус. Подразумевается, что если вы бизнесвумен, то вы должны быть одеты соответствующе. Или, другой пример, если человек - глава крупной компании, ему предпочтительнее носить брендовую одежду.
Психологически, люди тратят много времени и денег на одежду, чтобы забыть о разных рутинных проблемах. Стоит сказать, что шоппинг может быть хорошей терапией в случае каких-либо жизненных разочарований. Тем не менее, это не стоит того, если вы шопоголик и покупаете все, что попадается вам на глаза; чувство стиля и хороший вкус жизненно важны в этом деле.
