Once our family decided to go to the sea. The cheapest way to get there was to travel by train though it took much time. The weather was fine. The sun was shining all the time. And I enjoyed the view. It took us two days to get there. And we had return tickets. We spent two weeks at the seaside, and returned to Moscow in August.

Мой друг инопланетянин
Мистер Кирк прогуливался в воскресенье вечером в парке с собакой. Вдруг он услышал шум и увидел странного человека перед собой. Это был Зардак с планеты Викон. Зардак прилетел в Лондон по воздуху. Но он прилетел не в аэропорт, он не зарегистрировался и не прошёл паспортный контроль и таможню.
Мистер Кирк взял его к себе домой, но он не сказал никому о прибытии Зардака. Зардаку понравился мистер Кирк, и они стали друзьями. Но Зардак устал от квартиры мистера Кирка. Он захотел попутешествовать по стране, или хотя бы посмотреть город.
Зардак: Ну, мой дорогой друг. Когда мы пойдём смотреть твой город?
Мистер Кирк: Ну… это сложно, Зардак. Это не очень хорошая идея.
Зардак: Но я здесь уже два дня и ещё ничего не видел.
Мистер Кирк: Ты смотрел телевизор.
Зардак: Я могу смотреть телевизор на своём корабле, или когда я дома на планете Викон. Пожалуйста, мой друг.
Мистер Кирк: Я тебе уже сказал. Это плохая идея.
Но Зардак хочет посмотреть Лондон. Он увлекается путешествиями. Он много путешествовал. Путешествие его хобби. Из-за этого он приехал на планету Земля.
У Зардака на голове два маленьких серебряных рога. При помощи этих рогов он мог заставить людей делать то, что он хочет. Его рога становятся ярко-зелёными, и свет от них заставляет всех делать и говорить всё, что нравится Зардаку. И Зардак всего лишь смотрит на мистера Кирка. Мистер Кирк видит зелёный свет и говорит:
Мистер Кирк: Ну, я согласен. Пойдём в центр города. Действительно, почему бы нам не пойти? Я купил тебе пальто и шляпу. Пожалуйста, надень их.
Зардак: Но почему шляпу? Ты никогда не носишь шляпу.
Мистер Кирк: Хорошо. Я одену тоже.
Мистер Кирк и Зардак идут по улице к автобусной остановке. Они встречают миссис Эванс.
Миссис Эванс: Здравствуйте, мистер Кирк. Я так рада вас встретить. Кто этот молодой человек?
Мистер Кирк: Это мой кузен из Калифорнии.
Миссис Эванс: О! Как поживаете? Как давно вы здесь?
Мистер Кирк: Он здесь с четверга. Он здесь два дня.
Миссис Эванс: Что вы думаете об Англии, дорогой? Это ваш первый приезд в Англию?
Зардак: Да, первый. Я раньше здесь никогда не был. Здесь очень мило.
Миссис Эванс: А мне очень нравится ваша страна. Я была там три раза, вы знаете. Моя сестра живёт в Лос Анжелесе в Калифорнии. Она всегда хотела там жить. А где именно вы живёте?
Зардак: В Виконе.
Миссис Эванс: Я о таком не слышала. Где это?
Мистер Кирк: Это очень маленький городок. Очень маленький. Миссис Эванс: Забавно, у вас нет американского акцента.
Мистер Кирк (смотрит на свои часы): О, дорогая! Уже так поздно? Ну, миссис Эванс, до свидания. Мы действительно спешим. Миссис Эванс: До свидания. Приятно было познакомиться.
