It was of those days everything ..went.. wrong and when it was no fun at all to be Eric. As a rule, it was ..pretty.. nice to be Eric. He was the darling and ..eye.. of the whole family, and they spoiled him for all they were worth. But there were days when things going wrong. Then you were scolded by Mommi because you had worn a hole in your trousers, and Betti would say, "Blow your nose, child, and Daddi ..would. make a fuss because you were late coming home from school. "Why do you ..hang. around the street corners?" asked Daddi. " Hang around the street corners?" Of course. Daddi didn't know that Eric had... met a dog - a nice, beautiful, friendliy dog, who had ..sniffed.. at Eric and wagged his tail and looked as if he would very much like to be Eric's own dog. If Eric had had any .choice.. , it would certainly have become his at once. But the ..difficulty. was that Daddi and Mommi did not .want.. a dog in the house. And also a lady had suddenly appeared, ..shouting. , " Rickey,come here!" and then Eric knew that this dog could never .belong.. to him. "It doesn't look as if I'll .ever.. have a dog as long as I live," said Eric bitterly that day when everything seemed go wrong. "You, Mommi - you've got Daddi, and Bobbi and Bettialways stick ..together. ; but I - I've got nobody." в словах не хватает букв
EnglandEngland is the largest and the richest country of Great Britain. The capital of England is London but there are other large industrial cities, such as Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester and other famous and interesting cities such as York, Chester, Oxford and Cambridge. Stonehenge is one of the most famous prehistoric places in the world. This ancient circle of stones stands in Southwest England. It measures 80 metres across and made with massive blocks of stone up to four metres high. Why it was built is a mystery.Not far from Stonehenge stands Salisbury Cathedral. It is a splendid example of an English Gothic Cathedral; inside there is one of four copies of Magna Charta and the oldest clock in England. Chester is very important town in the north-west of England. In the past it used to be a Roman fort; its name comes from the Latin word castra, meaning "fortified camp". In Chester there is a famous museum which contains over 5000 ancient and modern toys.Oxford is the home of the oldest university of England. The most famous college is Christ Church. It has a great hall which was built during the reign of Henry VIII and its chapel has become the Cathedral of Oxford. Cambridge is the home of Britain's second oldest university. York was the capital of Northern England. It is one of the best preserved medieval cities of Europe. It was built by Romans, conquered by Anglo-Saxons and ruled by the Vikings. Birmingham is often called the "City of 1,500 trades" because of the great variety of its industries. АнглияАнглия - самая большая и самая богатая страна Великобритании. Столица Англии - Лондон; но существуют и другие важные города, например Бирмингем, Ливерпуль и Манчестер и другие известные и интересные города, такие как Йорк, Честер, Оксфорд и Кембридж. Стоунхендж - одно из самых известных доисторических мест в мире. Это древний круг из камней, находящийся на юго-востоке Англии. Его диаметр равняется 30 метрам, и сделан он из массивных каменных блоков до четырех метров высотой. Почему он был построен - загадка.Недалеко от Стоунхенджа стоит Солсберийский собор. Это прекрасный пример английского готического собора; внутри него хранится одна из четырех копий Великой Хартии и самые старые часы Англии. Честер - очень важный город на северо-западе Англии. В это был римский форт; название его происходит от латинского слова "castra", что означает "укрепленный лагерь". В Честере находится знаменитый музей, в котором собрано более 5 000 древних и современных игрушек.Оксфорд - это родина самого старого университета Англии. Самый известный колледж - Крайст Черч. В нем сохранился холл, построенный во время правления Генриха VIII, а его часовня стала Оксфордским собором. Кембридж - родина второго самого старого британского университета. Йорк был столицей Северной Англии. Сейчас это один из наиболее сохранившихся средневековых городов Европы. Он был построен римлянами, завоеван англосаксами и управлялся викингами. Бирмингем часто называют "городом 1500 ремесел" из-за большого количества отраслей промышленности.
