The Smiths were in their dining-room.There were five of them: Mr. Smith, the head of the family, Mrs. Smith, his wife, and their children: John, Ann and Kitty. They were having breakfast. Mrs. Smith was putting some cornflakes on the boy's plate. The elder daughter was passing the sugar to her father. Mrs. Smith asked John if he would had sugar on his cornflakes. John refused, because he wanted some more milk instead. Then Mrs. Smith asked Kitty why she wasn't eating anything, despite Ann was already finishing her cornflakes. Kitty answered that she did not like cornflakes and she was just thirsty. Then she asked her mum to give her some tea and cakes. Mr. Smith offered Kitty to be a good girl and to have some more cornflakes, because their family was going to have bacon and eggs, so after that Kitty could get her tea with toast and marmalade. After that Mr. Smith asked his wife to give him a little more cornflakes. Mrs. Smith passed the plate to her husband and asked him if he would have bacon and eggs. Mr. Smith answered that he would have it, and, additionally, he would have a nice strong cup of tea. Then he noticed that he had to leave in a quarter of an hour or so. The father was already having his cup of tea while the children were still talking over their cornflakes.

                                    My Dream Island

I dream about living on a tropical island. The weather there is usually good. The island is not very big. There are a lot of palm trees on it. There are not so many people there as in a city and there are no cars on this island. The islanders live in cosy bungalows and grow a lot of fruit and vegetables. People also go fishing every day. My favourite place on the island is a sandy beach.

                                  Остров моей мечты

Я мечтаю жить на тропическом острове. Погода там обычно хорошая. Остров не очень большой. На нём много пальм. Там не так много людей, как в городе, и на этом острове нет машин. Островитяне живут в уютных бунгало и выращивают много фруктов и овощей. Также каждый день люди ловят рыбу. Мое любимое место на острове - песчаный пляж.
