Devil in the Words. Книга для практики английского языка

Having closed the pan with aВ lid, Peter put the eggs back into the refrigerator.

The water inВ the kettle boiled and the kettle turnedВ off.

Peter took aВ mug, poured coffee and sugar into it, and then poured hot water from the kettle over itВ all.

Putting the mug on the table, he took milk out ofВ the refrigerator and added it toВ the coffee, stirring it thoroughly again.

Having put the milk inВ the refrigerator, Peter turned on the TV and turned off the gas under the frying pan inВ which the scrambled eggs were being fried.

He took aВ clean plate and placed it on the table, and then dumped the scrambled eggs from the frying pan into it. Putting the empty frying pan back on the stove, Peter took out the ketchup from the refrigerator and squeezed some into the scrambled eggs, after which he put the ketchup back into the refrigerator. Breakfast was ready.

Sitting down on aВ chair inВ front ofВ aВ plate ofВ scrambled eggs, Peter switched the channel toВ the one where his favorite series about witches was playing, and began toВ break off aВ piece ofВ baked yolk, smeared with ketchup, with aВ fork.

Having broken off aВ piece ofВ scrambled eggs, he immediately popped it into his mouth, without taking his eyes off theВ TV.

– So many episodes for one series. – Peter thought. «And all the action takes place in one house.» This series was made by talented people, there are more than a hundred episodes, and each, in fact, is different from the others, even though all the actions take place in the same places.

IВ wish IВ could learn how toВ come up with things like that. That would be cool. IВ could then easily write any book, even if its events took place only inВ one apartment.

Peter carefully watched what was happening on the screen, chewing his scrambled eggs.

– You need to understand the formula by which scripts for TV series are written. – he thought. «Having understood this, I can write any work without any problems.

Peter thought about what needs to be taken into account when writing long stories where the characters are in a limited space. And at the same time, write in such a way that it does not look boring and tiring. You can describe every action of the characters, but in the end it will get boring, and if you describe everything in a nutshell, you won’t be able to write a long text.
