Devil in the Words. Книга для практики английского языка

The bridge ofВ the nose continued toВ twitch, which was very distracting.

The younger sister entered the room.

– Give me a computer, I need to draw a picture, we have a geography assignment. – she said, standing close to the table.

Silently, Peter crawled out from behind the table and lay down on the sofa that stood behind him, near the window. My sister sat down at the computer and started digging through the drawings.

Peter relaxed and tried toВ imagine what he could write aВ book about.

Various ideas came into my head, about Elves, Orcs and Dwarves. But all this was too primitive and monotonous, besides, Peter understood that thousands ofВ books about Elves and Orcs had already been written, and it was unlikely that his would become aВ bestseller. And he just needed aВ bestseller, because he wrote not for the sake ofВ recognition, not for the sake ofВ being known as aВ talented author, he just wanted toВ earn money, he dreamed ofВ leaving Russia and settling inВ some two-story house, not far from the sea, preferably somewhere somewhere inВ Los Angeles, closer toВ Hollywood stars.

– Will you help me make a drawing? – asked the sister.

– No. – Peter answered briefly, immersed in thoughts about the book.

– Well, please, is it difficult for you?

– Yes, it’s difficult for me now. Besides, these are your lessons and you need to do them yourself.

– Because of you, they’ll give me a bad mark, and my mother will scold me.

 —

– Then go and draw what you need to draw, and don’t look at pictures on the Internet. —

– I don’t know how to draw, I can’t do it.

Peter got up from the sofa and went toВ the computer.

– I can’t help you, I have my own things to do. – Give me back my computer.

– I won’t get out from behind the computer until you draw me a picture. —

– I won’t draw anything.

– Well, that’s it, then go lie on the sofa.

– Give me back my computer.

– Draw me a picture.

– What do you need to draw?

– Our classroom, view from above.

– And what’s so difficult about this? Just draw rectangles and squares.

– I can’t, I can’t do it.

– What might not work out there?

– All.

– Okay, let’s go, I’ll draw you a drawing.

Together they went into the next room. Peter took aВ blank sheet ofВ paper and aВ pencil and began toВ draw.
