Сделать 10 во на английском к тексту BIG ANDVENTURE ON A SMALL ISLAND
Are you a diving enthusiast? Are you always looking for underwater spots to explore and take some great pictures? Well, if you are, then you should come to Coron Island in the Philippines for new a holiday of a lifetime. Here, you will enjoy diving and snorkelling in the crystal blue waters of Coron and even see lots of underwater treasures. Local fishermen will welcome you and also act as guides to the various underwater dive sites. The main attractions in the waters near Coron are the 12 Japanese and supply ships that sunk here in World War II. The US Navy bombed the ships and they now lay untouched for more than years at the bottom of the sea at depths of 10 to 43 metres. Most these ships are still intact so divers can explore these wrecks with boat dives per day. Divers can even swim through some of the rooms of the ships and see fantastic coral reefs and sea creatures on and around the ships. Another underwater adventure awaits you at the north end of the island in Barracuda Lake. Legend has it that the lake's name comes from a large barracuda fish living in the lake. There a 20-minute climb up a difficult hiking trail over rocky limestone to get to the lake; but once you are there the spectacular view is worth it. This hot thermal lake is actually in a volcano crater which explains the rapid changes in the water temperature of the lake. It is uncomfortably hot on the way down, at about 12 to 13 metres deep, the temperature suddenly changes from 27°C to 39°C and then on the way back up the top layer feels freezing! There isn't a lot to see at the bottom of the lake as the water is dark and murky. As you go up, though, keep your eyes open for prawns. If you put out your fingers they will come right up to you. For more experienced divers only, there is a large deep cave to explore, but only one diver at a time can go into the cave because of its narrow passageway. This cave is truly unique diving experience. The waters of Coron Island promise so much to those curious enough to explore them. This island is definite stop the quest to discover the mysteries of the deep!

Вы получили письмо от Вашего друга по переписке Тима. Он пишет: "...Мои родители хотят купить двухквартирный дом. Я хочу, чтобы в нём была большая гостиная, кухня, и кабинет на первом этаже, и шесть спален на втором этаже. Я не хочу открытый камин. Я предпочитаю иметь центральное отопление. У нас две машины, поэтому нужно как минимум два парковочных места или гаража..."
Dear Tim,
Thank you for your letter. I was very glad to get it. Great news! Your family
is going to buy a semi-detached house! When are you going to buy it?
It goes without saying that the lounge should be large. As for the cars, I have the same opinion as yours: there should be two garages or one but big enough for two parking places. I think you'll soon get a car too. Do you speak about the study for yourself or for your father? You have mentioned six bedrooms. Do you want to have a room of your own and a separate bedroom? In any case, you are lucky to move to a new house soon. Are you going to buy your new house in the same district or somewhere else? Write back soon. Keep well. Best regards to your parents and sister.
Best wishes,
Alex
