In summer Simon likes to visit his granny. She lives on a farm. She has got a big clean house. It is old but nice. There are three bedrooms, a living room, a pantry, a large kitchen, and a hall in the house.
Every day Simon helps his granny clean the rooms and water the flowers.
When it’s hot and sunny, Simon likes to swim and dive in the river. He likes to ride a horse, fly a kite, and have a picnic with his granny.
When it is rainy, he can draw pictures in his own room, watch TV or read books in the living room. Sometimes he plays hide-and-seek with his granny in their house.
It is very interesting! Today the weather is bad. It’s rainy and cloudy. It’s cold. Simon can’t go for a walk. Granny is busy. She goes shopping in the morning. Simon is alone (один) now. He is sad.
Simon doesn’t want to read or draw. He wants to play with somebody (с кем - нибудь). Bit suddenly, "Mew! Mew! Mew!" "Oh, what’s this?"

The Big Secret
Part 2
“What’s this? Who’s saying ‘Mew!’?” Simon is in the living room. The living room is nice. There is a round table in the middle of the room. There is a big armchair next to the fireplace. When it’s cold, Simon likes to read interesting books in the armchair.
“Mew!Mew!”
Now he is looking for the sound: under the table, behind the armchair, between the sofa and the armchair. “Nothing!”
Simon is in his room. He is still looking for the sound: on the floor, under the bed, above the shelf, under the carpet. “Nothing!”
Simon is in the pantry. And he is still
looking for the sound: in the left corner, in the
right corner.“Nothing!”
Simon is in his kitchen. In the middle of the
room, there is a box. Simon is surprised (удив-
лён).
“Mew! Mew!” comes from the box.
“What are you?” Simon says. “What is in
the box?”
It’s a secret. Then he sees two black ears...,
two big green eyes... and a small pink nose!
“Oh! It’s a kitten!” says Simon.
He is so happy! He has got a new friend.
They will play hide-and-seek together.

Take the first left at the roundabout.

As Andrea turned off the motorway onto the road to Brockbourne, the small village in which she lived, it was four o'clock in the afternoon, but already the sun was falling behind the hills. At this time in December, it would be completely dark by five o'clock. Andrea shivered. The interior of the car was not cold, but the trees bending in the harsh wind and the patches of yesterday's snow still heaped in the fields made her feel chilly inside. It was another ten miles to the cottage where she lived with her husband Michael, and the dim light and wintry weather made her feel a little lonely. She would have liked to listen to the radio, but it had been stolen from her car when it was parked outside her office in London about two weeks ago, and she had not got around to replacing it yet.
She was just coming out of the little village of Mickley when she saw the old lady, standing by the road, with a crude hand-written sign saying "Brockbourne" in her hand. Andrea was surprised. She had never seen an old lady hitchhiking before. However, the weather and the coming darkness made her feel sorry for the lady, waiting hopefully on a country road like this with little traffic. Normally, Andrea would never pick up a hitchhiker when she was alone, thinking it was too dangerous, but what was the harm in doing a favor for a little old lady like this? Andrea pulled up a little way down the road, and the lady, holding a big shopping bag, hurried over to climb in the door which Andrea had opened for her.
When she did get in, Andrea could see that she was not, in fact, so little. Broad and fat, the old lady had some difficulty climbing in through the car door, with her big bag, and when she had got in, she more than filled the seat next to Andrea. She wore a long, shabby old dress, and she had a yellow hat pulled down low over her eyes. Panting noisily from her effort, she pushed her big brown canvas shopping bag down onto the floor under her feet, and said in a voice which was almost a whisper, "Thank you dearie -- I'm just going to Brockbourne."

These days most of the academic institutions are offering online courses to the student so they can enroll with it from anywhere. As far as I am concerned this is a positive development due to its feasibility and flexibility courses.
To begin with, online courses are easily accessible to everyone and people just need a good internet to operate it. This enable a person to attain the desired course without flying to abroad and enrolled in the course from their home country such as Canadian diploma course to physiotherapy professionals in India. In this case, the individual can avoid huge expenses on air ticket and visa processes need to obtain the course, and he or she can save money.
Next, there is no fixed timing on online courses unlike the schools and colleges, the student could open the website at their convenience. Thus it makes easier for those people who has to work for their living and study simultaneously. Also, there is no chances of missing out the lessons as those are stored in the sites in details. For example, health practitioners has to do lots of online certification course to upgrade their knowledge and skills, and move ahead in their professions.
In conclusion, online courses are growing in demand these days because it is feasible and flexible, where people can enroll to the courses from anywhere and study at their own pace.
