Variant 1
The Bridge
Peter's parents
died when he was a child of five. He was brought up by his grandmother who took
great care of the child and did her best to make him happy.
When Peter left
school it was decided that he should start working as by that time his
grandmother had become an old woman and it was difficult for her to work.
Peter's grandmother thought that he should master some trade and at the same
time study at an evening faculty. That was why she suggested that he should go
to Siberia where they had some acquaintances who could help Peter to begin a
new life. Though Peter agreed to her proposal, he did it without any
enthusiasm as he was shy by nature and he couldn't imagine his life without his
grandmother.
A few days before
his departure Peter made up his mind to see all the places where he had spent
his childhood. So he took his bicycle and soon found himself far from his
native village. Suddenly he saw another cyclist in the distance. He decided to
overtake the cyclist and rode faster. Soon he could see that the cyclist was a
young girl. As soon as the girl noticed Peter she increased her speed as she
didn't want Peter to catch up with her. Suddenly Peter remembered that a few
yards ahead of them there was no road as the bridge across the river was under
repairs. Peter realized that the girl would run a terrible risk in case she
tried to cross the bridge. He cried out to her to stop, but it was too late.
The girl had reached the bridge and at once Peter saw her lose her balance and
fall into the water together with her bicycle. When Peter rode up he saw the
girl holding on to a pile standing in the water. Without a moment's hesitation
he jumped into the water as he wanted to help the girl. The current under the
bridge was very strong and Peter had to swim against it. At last he swam up to
the pile and saw the girl's frightened eyes looking at him with hope. "Can
you swim?" asked Peter, but the girl shook her head. Peter ordered the
girl to hold on to his neck and they both started for the bank. It was very
difficult for Peter to swim with such a burden and at moments it seemed to him
that he could not stand the strain and that they both would be drowned. When
they reached the bank, Peter was so tired that he could hardly breathe. When he
came to himself he saw the girl looking at him with admiration. "You are a real hero", she said.
"You are the bravest boy I've ever met", and she meant every word she
said. And it was at that moment that Peter felt a great confidence in himself.
He was afraid of nothing now, he was able to overcome any difficulty and he was
ashamed now for the Peter who only a few hours before had been afraid to leave
his grandmother and begin a new life.

Variant 2
Read the text "His Rich
Aunt" and do the tasks.
His
Rich Aunt (After Cyril Hare)
Hilary Smith
belonged to a good family. Unfortunately he had some troubles with the bank and
was sent off to Australia. He didn't like Australia and Australia didn't like
him. Therefore he wanted to return to England very much. He could not earn
enough money to book his passage. So he had to wait until his father and his
brother died. They fortunately did it at the same time. He received all the
money that belonged to a good family and soon spent it. When all the money had
been spent, Hilary could do one of the things. He could die or work. Neither of
these gave him any pleasure. Then he remembered that he had a rich aunt. She
was his father's only sister. Hilary found out her address. The old lady was
glad to see her only nephew. Unfortunately she was seriously ill. The doctor
said that nothing could cure the old lady. Hilary was afraid to remain in the
world alone. So he chose the moment when his aunt was feeling much better than
usual and asked her about her will. The old woman told her nephew that she had
made a will when she was a young girl. She was very religious and left all her
money to some religious people in China. She didn't make any other will. The
next day Hilary found out that when a woman gets married, an earlier will loses
its value. A new will must be made, the money goes to the nearest relative. His
future was safe. Hilary needed money very much, he owed a lot to shopkeepers,
who trusted him because his aunt was rich. It was impossible for Hilary to
speak with his aunt about money. She got very bad and got angry when he spoke
about money. One morning she told Hilary that she was going to make a new will.
Hilary was afraid that she wanted to leave all her money to somebody else. So
he made a decision. Every night his aunt took some medicine to make her sleep.
Hilary decided to double the portion. He could put her to sleep forever. He put
some more medicine into the glass. His aunt took the glass and looked at
Hilary. She thanked her nephew and said:
"If I am alive
tomorrow, I shall change the will in your favour. If I die tonight, you will
get nothing.''
She explained to
her nephew that she had never been married, so her first will did not lose its
value. Hilary tried to take the glass away but the old lady raised it and
drank.
