The real estate agent looked ghastly pale. That should have been the first clue. But the old house was selling at such a cheap price, I couldn't refuse. I had heard the rumors that it was haunted, but hey. I didn't believe in ghosts. But just to be sure I thought I should probably spend a night in the house to see if the rummors were true. I packed my equipment in a box and headed for house. if there really was a gost in the house, I was going to find it. As i arrived at the house, a storm was brewing outside...........

TIM'S STORY

One Friday lunchtime I had to change some money and went to an exchange office on the main pedestrianised street in the city.
There was a queue of about half a dozen people also waiting to change their dollars, Now queuing is something that the English do when they have to but we tend to think how to avoid the queue - usually find another place or later time.
This time I was saved by a young man who suggested that if I wanted to change a few dollars we could do it quicker outside in the street.
1followed him outside and gave him the two $50 notes, While I waited tapped for the money I was tapped on the shoulder by another young man who explained to me that it was a slightly dangerous practice to change money on the street.
1 was embarrassed by this warning, and now wanted to get out of this situation as soon as possible, I turned to the chap and he returned the money immediately and went down the street. I stuffed the money in my pocket and went in the other direction to find another place to change my cash, But when I took the two notes out of my pocket 1 saw two one dollar notes! I might have saved ten minutes but I had lost nearly $100 instead and all because of my own stupid greed and impatience.
1 was still wondering where to seek help when I saw the two chaps who had taken my dollars. I came up up to them and asked if they wanted me to explain the story to the militiaman who was a few metres away. They quickly handed me the two $50 notes - which this time I had checked before pocketing them.
I was so glad to have my greed rewarded with some great luck that I gave them back theIr two one dollar notes - so they could catch someone else out? I don't know why!

morning. Nick's mother woke him up. She asked him if he heard the alarm clock. Nick did not want to get up. He said that he was very sleepy. His mother remarked (said) that Nick always said it. She told him to get out of bed quickly. Nick moaned. His mother told him again to be quick. Nick told his mother that it was all right and added that he had a lot of time. Nick`s mother reminded him that he had to brush his teeth and to wash his hands and face. Nick answered that he remembered everything.

English character
1. One of the most striking features of English life is the self-discipline and people courtesy of all classes. There is little noisy behaviour and practically no loud disputing in the street. People do not rush excitedly for seats in buses or trains but take their seats in queues [kju:z] at bus stops in a quiet and orderly manner.
2. Englishmen are naturally polite and are never tired saying “Thank you” or “Thanks”, “I’m sorry”, “ Beg your pardon”. If you follow anyone who is entering a building or a room, he’ll hold a door open for you. Many foreigners have commented on a remarkable politeness of the English people.
3. English people don’t like displaying their emotions even in dangerous and tragic situations, and ordinary people seem to remain good-tempered and cheerful under difficulties.
4. The Englishman doesn’t like any boasting or showing off in manners, dress or speech. Sometimes he conceals his knowledge: a linguist, for example, may not mention his understanding of a foreigner’s language.
5. The Englishman prefers his own house to an apartment in a block of flats because he doesn’t wish his doing to be overlooked by his neighbours and they often say “An Englishman’s house is his castle”. Many Englishmen help their wives at home in many ways: they clean the windows on Saturday afternoon and often wash up the dishes after supper in the evening.
6. Sunday is a very quiet day in London. All the shops are closed and so are the theatres and most of the cinemas. Londoners like to get out of town on Sundays. The sea is not far – only 50 or 60 miles away and people like to go down to the sea in summer or somewhere to the country for skiing in winter.

LLOW On the Eastern shore of the Hudson River there was a little valley, among high hills, which was one of the quietest places in the whole world. This valley had long been known by the name of Sleepy Hollow. Many strange stories about ghosts were told and retold in a village situated there. The most frightful, however, was the one about a headless horse¬man. It is said that it was the ghost of a soldier who had been killed in battle. Once there lived in this village a schoolmaster, Crane by name. He was a tall and very thin man. In the same village lived the daughter and the only child of a rich farmer. She was a pretty girl and attracted the attention of every young man in the village. Crane too, was in love with her. But if the schoolmaster meant to win her heart, he would have to get rid of all his rivals. The one he feared most was a certain Brunt. He was a tall and strong young man and most people liked him for his bravery and great skill of a horseman. It is clear that Crane would have lived quietly in his little village to the end of his life if a very strange thing had not happened one night. In the afternoon of that day Crane was in his school when a servant brought him an invitation to a party, which was to be held that evening at Van Tassel's. The pupils were sent home an hour before the usual time, and Crane spent no less than half an hour dressing up for the party. He wished to look his best that night, therefore, he borrowed a horse from the farmer with whom he was then living. The horse's name was Gunpowder. It was towards evening that Crane arrived at home of Van Tassel. The house was full of guests and Brunt was among them. There were many good things to eat and a lot of dancing. Everybody enjoyed himself that night. When the party was nearly over, Crane suddenly left the hall where the guests were dancing. He went to Katrina's room where he stayed alone with the girl for a short while. They must have had an unpleasant conversation for the school¬master looked sad when he re-entered the hall.
