1 We know how long he has been working
2 I remember how long she has been teaching English
3 you know how long they have been playing hockey
4 she remembers how long you have been waiting for it
5 he knows how long we have been building that house
6 they remember how long I have been traveling
7 I like how long she has been doing her homework
8 he understands how long his friend has been cooking
9 you see I have just received this email.
10 he has already done his homework
11 this is the worst film I have ever seen
12 that is the most beautiful place you have ever visited
13 it's the most expensive food she has ever eaten
Кто кормил меня от ее нежной груди,
И укачивал меня на руках, до сна,
И в щеку меня сладко целовал?
Моя мама.
Когда сон не шел в мои глаза
Кто пел колыбельные для меня,
И кто качал меня, чтоб я не плакал?
Моя мама.
Кто сидел и на мою голову смотрел,
Когда я спал на колыбели,
И слезы сладкой привязанности лил?
Моя мама.
Когда боль и болезнь заставили меня плакать,
Кто смотрел в мои отяжелевшие глаза,
И плакал от страха, что я умеру?
Моя мама.
Кто мою куклу в одежды веселые одевал,
И нежно научил меня играть,
Внимала всему что я сказал?
Моя мама.
Кто побежал, чтоб мне упавшему
И может красивую историю рассказать,
Или поцеловать мне место, чтобы сделать хорошо?
Моя мама.
Кто научил мои детские губы молиться,
И любить святую книгу Бога и день,
И ходить в приятной манере мудрости?
Моя мама.
И могу ли я когда-либо перестать быть
Ласковый и добрый к тебе,
Кто был так добр ко мне,
Моя мама.
Ах нет! мысль, которую я не могу вынести,
И если Бог мою жизнь оставит мне,
Надеюсь, я вознагражу твою заботу,
Моя мама.
Когда ты слаба, стара и седая,
Моя здоровая рука будет опорой,
И я успокою твои страдания,
Моя мама.
И когда я вижу, что ты повесила голову,
Настанет очередь мне, чтобы смотреть твою постель,
И слезы сладкой привязанности лить,
Моя мама.
Ибо мог бы Отец наш в небе
Посмотреть вниз с радостными или любящими глазами,
Если бы я мог осмелиться презирать тебя
Моя мама?

Birthday is such a wonderful day for everybody! Many people like to celebrate it. On this day you are in the centre of attention. You can spend time with your parents, friends and relatives and get a lot of presents. People like their birthdays because of the presents, too.I was born on the 15th of June. Birthday is a very remarkable day for me. It is the beginning of summer so the weather is usually great!On this day in the morning my parents come into my room and say, "Happy Birthday!" And, of course, they don’t forget about presents. They usually know beforehand what my secret wish is. I enjoy surprises but still it’s better to know what I am going to get.My telephone keeps ringing all the day, people are calling to say “Happy birthday!” and this really great to feel that people remember about you.Usually we go for a picnic on my birthday, but his year I want to have my birthday party at home. I will celebrate my birthday on Saturday so everybody can come. We have invited my friends and relatives to the party. There will be 12 people. We usually have big parties at home and like to meet guests. My parents help me organize this party. My father and I go shopping to buy food and everything we need for the party and my mom stays at home to start cooking. She also lays the table, she does it perfectly. When we come back I start helping my mom with cooking in the kitchen. We cook a lot of tasty food. When everything is ready we dress up, make our hair and wait for the guests.At five o'clock my relatives and friends arrive to congratulate me and I am happy to see them. They bring a lot of flowers, presents, postcards and sweets. I have got a lot of nice presents - a computer, a couple of DVD’s, a yo-yo, postcards and money. I thank them all.I usually enjoy my birthday parties. We have a good holiday dinner and everybody is merry. We dance, make jokes, sing karaoke, play games, speak about different things and don’t forget about tasty things on the table. My mom brings the birthday cake and I blow the candles out.Everyone enjoys the party very much. After the party we go for a walk. This is one of the best holidays for me.
