An adventure holiday
There are not many mountains to climb and caves to explore in Ukraine. But there are a lot of small forests almost around every city or town. So we can go to the country and have some extreme adventure like treasure hunt or "lost in the forest" game there. We don’t need to use any special equipment like skis, skateboards or roller-skates there. We just need our hands and brains. It will be very exciting to look for something hidden in the forest or find your way back home. You will need to cook your dinner and read the map. And you will spend time with your friends. Isn’t it exciting?

p. 56, ex. 3.
I disagree with the Miller’s words that «when people are in trouble no visitors should bother them». When people are in trouble their friends should visit them and help them. Only true friends are reliable and helpful while selfish people think only about themselves. They never help their friends. They only take but give nothing in return. Such friends are worse than enemies.
p. 56, ex. 4.
1. Hans was a hard-working and kind-hearted man because he worked in his garden all days long in spring, summer and autumn and he shared everything he had with his friend Miller and asked him for nothing. 2.

I agree with these words because real friends should share everything when their friends are in trouble. 4. You can speak about something but do quite the opposite thing. So it proves that actions are everything while words are just words. Hans was a man of action because he shared everything with the Miller while the Miller was only a man of words who just said something but never helped Hans. 5. Hans proved to be a devoted friend because he always shared with the Miller everything he had in his garden and asked him for nothing in return. 6. A true friend does not speak much but does everything to help his friend if he is in trouble.
p. 57, ex. 5.

3. Only true friend will help you when you are in trouble. Other people will let you down and forget about you when you need them.
p. 57, ex. 6.
a) "The Devoted Friend" from the point of view of Hans is a person with noble ideas,
b) "The Devoted Friend" from the point of view of one of the neighbours is somebody who gives you something in return,
c) "The Devoted Friend" from the point of view of Hugh, the Miller is somebody who doesn’t want you to bother him when he is trouble.
p. 57, ex. 7.
1 think that Hans is more sympathetic to me because he is friendly and open-hearted. He has a lot of friends. He is also generous and unselfish because he always shares everything he has with his friend.
I don’t think that Miller is sympathetic to me because he is selfish and unfriendly. He is mean and greedy because he only takes but gives nothing in return.
p. 57, ex. 8.
Selfish people can’t be devoted friends because they are selfish, think only about themselves. They are greedy so they do not share anything
with their friends but only take and give nothing in return. Selfish people are not helpful because they never help other people when they are in trouble.

WRITING A PERSONAL STORY

The material was totally new for me so I asked my mother to help me with it. My mother had done well at school so she explained me everything. I did my homework easily and went to school the following day. But when the teacher asked me about my homework and I showed it to him he said that the class hadn’t discussed that topic yet. I was surprised and asked my friend. He said that he had just mixed the pages. But there was one positive moment in all this event.
