It was reported in the press that certain car dealers have been bug­ging* their automobile showrooms so that they can hear what people, who have come to buy a car, are saying while the salesman is in the back office, (to make) it easier for the salesman to know what the inten­tions of the buyers are.

a couple (to leave) alone in the showrooms have been looking at a brown panda for some time when the salesman comes out of the back office (to say):

"well, fanny, how do you like our new panda? " (to point) at the car.

(to look) at the salesman in great surprise the woman asks: "how did you know my name was fanny? "

"your husband mckinley told me."

the husband says: "i never told you her name. and how did you know my name was mckinley (never to meet) me before? "

the salesman says: "well, honestly, i did not know but i took a wild guess. you look like a fanny and a mckinley. now let's talk about the car. you want to have a brown car with brown leather seats."​

to have a pet at home is a very good thing. and it is not important what pet you have. you may have a dog, a cat, a hamster, a parrot or a fish. the most popular pets are cats and dogs.

a cat is good for a small flat, and if you live in a big flat or a house you can keep a dog. it’s much simpler to have a cat because you don’t have to walk a cat every day.

dogs are best friends of people. these animals are very clever and understand you very well. but you must remember that keeping a dog in a flat is not that easy. you need to walk it two or three times a day. so, you have to get up earlier in the morning and it also takes time to feed the dog. dogs are hairy animals and they have a specific smell. nevertheless, dogs are wonderful animals. i love dogs.

people usually keep hamsters, rats, mice and rabbits. these animals are rather easy to look after. these animals are funny, but all they do is eating.

people all over the world are fond of sport. sport activities are very important for the growing organism of a child. children showed not neglect this fact.

there are many sport clubs that they can join us. light athletics gives much opportunity to those who go in for it. it includes track field events: running, long-jumping, high jumping, discus throwing and others.

many children are fond of ball games: basketball, volleyball, football. they are so exiting. besides they are played all year round. children like to take part in the competitions to see who is the quickest, the strongest, who can jump best, who is the best swimmer or player. pupils in different classes hold competitions in different kinds of sport. many boys and girls show good results. all the competitions and games are very popular with the pupils. a lot of fans always come to watch them.

my favourite sport is basketball. basketball is a wonderful sport. it; s a good exercise too. it makes us strong and healthy.

to become a good sportsman you must train a lot. if you want to be good at something you have to work hard. practice makes perfect.
