...A man came through Barbara and Celia’s neighbourhood and passed out new flyers. This one said There (be going to be) a parade in the city to welcome the circus. The girls left very early. When they got to the parade many people had already arrived there. They looked for a long time to find the right place to sit. (Final /Finally / Finally), the owner of the vegetable market waved at the girls to come sit on his balcony so they could see the parade. They (do) many jobs for Mr. Kai and he was happy to see them. ‘The circus (come) to town!’ Right at 3:00 o’clock, as the parade began, the first to come around corner were the clowns. They were dressed in bright colors and had funny hair. Some of them had cute monkeys dressed in (clown / clown’s) costumes sitting on their shoulders. The girls giggled and laughed (at / with / on) them. Soon the marching band with the big drum appeared. The drum was so big it took five people to push it down the road.

4) The houses are quite small and they haven't got front gardens. But some houses look very colorful. In the foreground there are some young kids who are playing football in the street. And there are two old men on the right who are chatting to each other in front of one of the houses. Perhaps they are gossiping about the neighborhoods. Oh, and there is someone washing his car in the background. It is not a very beautiful street, but the atmosphere seems very friendly and relaxed. - Домов довольно мало, и они не получили палисадники. Но некоторые дома выглядят очень красочными. На переднем плане есть некоторые маленькие дети, которые играют в футбол на улице. И есть два старики справа, которые, болтая друг с другом перед одним из домов. Возможно, они сплетничают о кварталах. Ох, и есть кто-то моет машину в фоновом режиме. Это не очень красивая улица, но атмосфера, кажется, очень дружелюбной и расслабленой.

Chapter One
The Boy Who Lived
The chapter starts with description of the Dursley family, who are proud to be "perfectly normal". We learn that Mrs Dursley has a sister, Mrs Potter, but their families haven't met for several years. Both families have sons.
Then the story begins on a "dull, grey Tuesday". Mr Dursley notices a lot of strange things hapenning - owls flying in town, people in cloaks, a strange cat sitting on the wall of his garden, unusual news on TV. The Dursleys go to bed wondering what it all could mean. At night, a tall, thin and very old man appears near their house. It's Albus Dumbledore. The cat turns out to be Professor McGonagall, and the two are professors from Hogwarts, a school of witchcraft and wizardry. Then comes Hagrid, a giant, who brings little Harry Potter. Harry's parents were killed by Lord Voldermort, a dark wizard, but Harry survived and Voldermort's power "somehow broke" .
So little Harry is left asleep on the doorstep of the Dursley's house with a letter written by Dumbledore. The professors and Hagrid go to join the celebrations.
