Devil in the Words. Книга для практики английского языка

It would be unpleasant to write a book and then find out that it will not be published because it does not fit in size and only one author’s page is missing. This would be creepy, because there were not so many publishing houses in Russia, especially good publishing houses that could promote the book.

– Let’s get ready. – said the sister, entering the room.

– Okay, okay, I’m already getting ready.

Peter turned on the music, got up from the computer, and began toВ put on his street clothes.

After getting dressed, he turned off the computer and went out into the corridor. My sister was already standing inВ the corridor. Mother came out ofВ the kitchen and handed Peter aВ hundred rubles.

– Here you go, there should be enough for a notebook. – she said.

Peter took the bill and put it inВ his pocket, after which he sat down on the bench and began toВ put on his sneakers.

Christina was already dressed.

When Peter put on his sneakers, he immediately went toВ the exit from the apartment.

– That’s it, we’re off. – said Christina.

– And don’t be late, dinner will be ready soon. – the mother said in response.

Peter and Christina left the apartment, and then from the front door to the street. It was already getting dark outside. Lanterns illuminated the road. Rare stars were visible in the sky. Peter and Christina walked along the road next to the house. It wasn’t very far to the shopping center, about ten minutes on foot.

First they walked through the park square, crossed the road, and walked along the sidewalk along another park. They lived inВ aВ residential area, and there were plenty ofВ parks here.

Ten minutes later they reached the Mezhdunarodnaya metro station, where there was aВ shopping center. They went inside and took the escalator toВ the third floor, where the bookstore was located. InВ addition toВ books, the bookstore also sold notebooks. They went inside, and Christina rushed toВ the section with notebooks, and Peter stopped near the shelves with books.

– There is a lot of competition. – Peter thought. – To make your way in literature, you need to have real talent, write beautifully, clearly, and about interesting events. It is unlikely that my book will succeed.
