Матч начался по телевизору в 7 часов, поэтому папа еще смотрел телевизор в 07.30. Мама сидела на кухне. Она спокойно читала женский журнал. Рози примеряла мамину одежду в своей комнате. Двоюродные братья Ника слушали рок - музыку. Она играла очень громко, поэтому они не слышали грохота. В 07.30 собаки лежали возле камина (огня) и спали. Ник с другом пошел в сад играть в футбол. Поэтому в 07.30 он еще был там.
So Dad was still watching TV at 07.30. Mum was sitting in the kitchen. She was reading a magazine. Rosie was trying on her Mum's clothes in her room. Nick's cousins were listening to rock music. The dogs were lying in front of the fire and they were sleeping.

Перевод:
В 7 часов матч начался по телевизору, так что папа все еще смотрел его в 7.30. Мама сидела
на кухне. Она тихонько читала женский журнал. Рози примеряла ее
Мамина одежда в ее комнате. Двоюродные братья Ника слушали рок-музыку. Это было очень громко, так что
они не слышали грохота. В 7.30 собаки лежали перед огнем и спали. Ник пошел в сад со своим другом поиграть в футбол. Итак, в 7.30 он все еще был
там.
I'm in the first year at the university, where I'm studying English. My elder sister, Betty, is studying history at the same university. Betty can organise her time wisely, whereas I do not know what order I should do things in.
My sister, an early riser, is awake by 7 o'clock, refreshed and full of energy. While I'm wandering round the kitchen, fighting the urge to go back to bed.\At lunchtime I meet up with my sister and we have a snack at the university cafe. After classes I make myself go to the library where I spend about six hours a week reading for my seminars.
My sister and I come home tired. I always find excuses to put my homework off.
We try to relax on the weekends. One of my greatest pleasures is to lie in bed and read my favourite books.
Every Monday when I awaken I think I should start a new life. I honestly think that I must become well-organised and correct my daily routine.But then I put off my plans till next Monday. It is always better to start a new life in a week.
