Task 1. Read about Tom's normal day and then answer Yes or No for each question. Every day Tom wakes up at five thirty when his alarm clock rings. He gets up and then goes to
the bathroom. After that he makes breakfast for him and his wife, Betty. Tom is a train driver
and he wears a uniform.
Tom starts work at seven o'clock and drives trains on the London Underground. He usually
works in the mornings from Monday to Friday. At noon he stops work for half an hour to have
his lunch. He eats cheese and tomato sandwiches which Betty makes for him, and drinks a bottle
of milk. After lunch he works until four o'clock and then he goes home. In the evening he plays
with his baby son, Ben, and watches TV with Betty. At ten thirty they all go to bed because they
are very tired - and because they get up so early in the morning!

Nick’s mother was sick for a long time and he did his best not to upset her. At that time there was a math test. Peter did the test quickly and when he saw that Nick didn’t do the task he wrote the solution on a piece of paper and thrown it to him. Nick didn’t know what to do for some time but the thought of the sick mother overcame his conscience. He wrote the test and gave it to the teacher. Nick was in a bad mood all day and his mother noticed it but her son didn’t tell her anything. The next day the teacher was telling the results. She praised those students who had written the test well especially she was happy about Nick :” You pleased me very much, Nick”, she said. Nick took his notebook but he couldn’t look in the teacher’s eyes because he was ashamed. At the next desk cried Kate because she’s got “2”. The lesson was almost over when Nick suddenly stood up, went to the teacher and said:”Olga Nikolayevna grade my work as “2”, “5” isn’t my mark, I have copied the test”. The teacher looked at him kindly and said:”The truth lives with good people”. It’s very good that you’ve understood everything”. She corrected the mark and Nick carried his notebook as if he got “5”, not “2”.
