Task №1. Read the text. Fill in the gaps with the proper grammar and lexical form.

Siobhan said that when you_______ a book you have to include some

______ of things. I said that I could take photographs and put

______ in the book. But she said the idea of a book was to describe things

______ words so that people could read them and make a picture in their own head.

And she said it was the ______ thing to describe things that were interesting or different.

She also said that I should describe people in the story by ______ one or two details about them

so that people ______ make a picture of them in their head. Which is why I wrote about Mr.

Jeavons's shoes with all the ______ in them and the policeman who looked as if he had two

______ in his nose and the thing Rhodri smelled of but I

______ the name for.

So I decided to do a description of the garden. But the garden wasn't very ______ or different. It

was just a garden, with grass and a shed and a clothesline. But the sky was interesting and

different because______ skies look boring because they are all blue or all gray or all covered in

one pattern of clouds and they don't look like they are hundreds of miles above your head. They

look like someone might have painted them on a big roof. But this sky ______ lots of different

types of clouds in it at different heights, so you could see how big it was and this ______ it look

enormous.

Furthest away in the sky there ______lots of little white clouds which looked like fish scales or

sand dunes which had a very regular pattern.

Task№2. Read the text. Choose the proper word for each gap from the table below.

People think that alien__1__ would be solid and made of metal and have __2__all over them and move slowly

__3__ the sky because that is how we would build a spaceship if we were able to build one that big. But aliens, if

they exist, would probably be very different from __4__. They might look like big slugs, or be flat like reflections.

Or they might be __5__ than planets. Or they might not have bodies at all. They might just be information, like in

a computer. And their spaceships might look like clouds, or be __6__ of unconnected objects like dust or leaves.

Then I listened to the sounds in the garden and I could hear a bird __7__ and I could hear traffic noise which was

like the surf on a beach and I could hear __8__ playing music somewhere and children shouting. And in between

these noises, if I listened very carefully and stood completely still, I could hear a tiny whining noise inside my ears

and the air going in and out of my nose. Then I sniffed the air to see if I could see what the air in the garden

smelled __9__. But I couldn't smell __10__. It smelled of nothing. And this was interesting, too. Then I went

inside and fed Toby.
