II.  What would be she wearing today? Maybe the white dress with
                            the  little  straps.  Yeah,  she’d  be  wearing  that,  it  was  his  favourite.
                            Sexy and innocent-looking at the same time. And the high heels, the
                            burgundy  ones. She’d be nice and tan, slender but healthy  looking.

                             1.  Ellie was standing just by a tall fur tree. Her hare was the soft
                                 brown colour of an autumn leaf.
                             2.  She  was  looking  at  me,  her  lips  just  parted,  looking  slightly
                                 startled.
                             3.  Her voice was very soft and gentle, it might have been a little
                                 girl’s voice.
                             4.  There  was  a  new  independence  about  her,  a  new  confident  in

                             5.  I made no secret of the fact that I would been a rolling stone.

                            2.Translate the following.

                                  There are people (you’ve probably noted it also) who have the

                            throb  and  expand,  and  contract  and  go  dizzy.  Then  when  they  are
                            gone away, you feel sick and lonesome and meaningless.

                            pouring  in  liquids  and  powders  and  seeing  nothing  happen  until  a
