Render into English: Однажды мой босс, мистер Каравай, попросил меня перегнать машину из аэропорта домой. Они с женой уезжали куда- т о за границу от ды хать, и я должна была отвести машину в гараж. Я нашла ма ш ину на платной стоянке. Она была белая и сияла на солнце. Я пошла и посмотрела на капоте ее марку. Это был «Тенденрберг». Я села в машину. Дверца, казалось, захлопнулась сама. Золотисто-песочные сиденья — под цвет внутренней окраски, — блестели, ослепительно сверкали хромированные детали. На щитке и даже между сиденьями было множество кнопок и ручек. Я заставила себя посмотреть на них. Каравай сказал правильно: под ногами я не нашла педали сцепления. Я наклонилась, чтобы рассмотреть переключатель скоростей. Кроме нейтрального заднего хода там было всего два положения: одно трогаться, другое ехать. Я сняла с правой ноги туфлю, чтобы каблук не мешал мне нажимать на акселератор и медленно тронулась с места. Сначала машина резко дернулась, потому что я слишком сильно нажала на акселератор, но тут же мягко поплыла вперед. А затем начался какой-то цирк. Я металась во все стороны по аллеям перед аэровокзалом и неизбежно налетала на кирпич. Какой-то водитель, ехавший за мной, обозвал меня скрягой за то, что я не включала указатель поворота, а я, прежде чем нашла, как его включать, хотя это оказалось легче легкого, включила дворник, печку, затем радио и опустила стекло правой дверцы. Я была на грани нервного припадка, когда мне, наконец, удалось поставить машину на стоянку, с которой десять минут назад я уехала. Я заглянула в ящичек для перчаток. Там оказались только квитанции об уплате штрафа на стоянках с ограничением времени, счета из гаражей и дорожные карты. Я также обнаружила технический паспорт машины и страховой полис. Я вышла из машины, решив взглянуть, что находится в багажнике: тряпки, спущенное колесо и проспект фирмы «Тенденрберг». Когда я вновь села за руль, меня привело в восторг, что он отодвигается вправо, чтобы удобнее было садиться, и снова блокируется, как только включаешь мотор. Я не спеша изучила все приборы на щитке. На спидометре было написано, что максимальная скорость 200 лье в час. Я была потрясена. Я с королевским величием дала задний ход, выехала со стоянки. развернулась у аэровокзала и у первого же перекрестка остановилась. Одна стрелка указывала направление на Париж, другая на юг, и я поехала на юг, обгоняя машины и радуясь, что ил меня все смотрят с завистью. (С. Жапризо.
Дама в очках и с ружьем в автомобиле)

Every year more than eleven million tourists visit Britain . In fact. tourism is an important industry, employing thousands of people. Most visitors come in the summer months, when they can expect
good weather. In July and August, the streets of London are full of ' the sound of French, Italian, Japanese, Arabic and German. Tourists usually spend a few days in London, then go on to some of other well-known cities. Oxford and Stratford-on-Avon (birthplace Shakespeare) are visited most often. Bnt Bath in the west, with Roman ruins and beautiful eighteen-century streets, is also very popular. So is York ,
The main tourist places are crowded with coaches and ice-cream sellers. But in the quiet country area
, there are many interesting places that few tourists find. Some, like the old yellow stone villages of the Cotswolds , in central England, have already been “discovered”. But there are beautiful villages in other parts of the country, too. ln the typical English village the cottages crowd round an old church, which is often full of history. And nearly there might be a big, old ,
or hotels here. V i sitors go to the houses with the “Bed and Breakfast” signs. It’s more fun – and much cheaper – to stay with a British family. Perhaps the least visited places in Britain are the old industrial towns. But many people think that nineteenth-century cities, like Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham and Glasgow, show the real Britain. The greatness of the past is still to be seen in their old streets and squares. But their golden age of industrial wealth is over. They have serious difficulties with unemployment and bad housing. The cheap, concrete buildings of the 1960s already look old and dirty. But for the adventurous tourist these cities are full of life and colour. Local pop groups play in busy pubs. The plays in their theatres are often as good as those in London. International
musicians and entertainers perform in their concert halls and opera houses. The easiest way to see Britain is to join a coach tour and follow the guide. That way, you’ll see the tourist face of Britain, but there’ll be many other things you won’t see at all... (from “Faces of Britain”)
