Перевод: Вчера мы поехали в Стратфорд на экскурсию. Стейси осталась дома, потому что была больна. Я встал в семь часов, потому что нам нужно было встретиться в школе в восемь. Мы поехали на автобусе. Я сидел рядом со своими лучшими друзьями. Другие друзья сидели перед нами. Мы около часа гуляли по городу пешком. После обеда мы посмотрели пьесу Шекспира в театре. Она продолжалась почти три часа. По дороге обратно мы все спали в автобусе.
