Перевод задания: У Саши есть друг по переписке Джон, который живёт в Британии. В школе Джона учебный год начинается на неделю позже, чем в школе Саши. Заполните письмо Саши Джону. Затем назовите 5 вещей, которые Саша обычно делала летом, и 5 вещей, которые обычно делал Джон.

Dear John,

It’s nice to know that you are still on holiday. I wonder what you are doing now. Are you fishing? Are you swimming? Are you lying in the sun? Anyway I hope you are enjoying yourself.

Only a few days ago I fished, swam and lay in the sun too. But it is over now and I am back at school. The weather has changed and it is raining heavily. And only yesterday the sun shone brightly in the cloudless sky. I think that autumn is here. What is the weather like where you are? Is it cold and foggy or is it warm and sunny? Is a wind blowing? Our textbooks write so much about the weather in Britain. I’d like to know if what they write is true.

With best wishes,
Sasha

Обоснование: В вопросах о действиях, происходящих сейчас, употребляется Present Continuous: are fishing, are swimming, are lying. С глаголом hope используется форма are enjoying. Слова only a few days ago и yesterday требуют Past Simple: fished, swam, lay, shone. Для описания текущей погоды используются формы настоящего времени: is, am, is raining, is, is blowing. В предложении об учебниках употребляется Present Simple: write.

b) Примеры предложений:

Sasha used to fish in the summer.
Sasha used to swim a lot.
Sasha used to lie in the sun.
John used to fish in the summer.
John used to swim a lot.
John used to lie in the sun.

В тексте явно названы только три летних занятия: fishing, swimming and lying in the sun. Два дополнительных занятия для каждого персонажа нельзя однозначно восстановить без упражнения 5.

Перевод ответа: Саша раньше летом рыбачила, много плавала и лежала на солнце. Джон раньше летом рыбачил, много плавал и лежал на солнце.
