Devil in the Words. Книга для практики английского языка

Logging into his social network page, he saw that Sveta was online.

– Hello. – Peter wrote in a personal chat.

– Hello. How’s the book going? Have you written anything?

– Yes, I finished the fourth chapter. It was difficult, but I did it. I don’t even know how interesting everything I write about is. It would be frustrating to write a book and find out that it’s not worth printing. I was in a bookstore here, it was full of books. And how many more books have not been published? There are thousands of them.

– Yes, there is a lot of competition.

Mother entered the room.

– Dinner is ready, go eat.

– Yes, okay, now.

– I’ll go eat, I’ll come back later. – Peter wrote to Sveta, and got up from the table and went to the kitchen.

InВ the kitchen, on the table, there were plates containing boiled potatoes with fried liver.

Peter took ketchup out ofВ the refrigerator, poured it into the potatoes, and sat down at the table.

– I’m here. – he wrote in the chat. – You’re from St. Petersburg, aren’t you?

– Yes, from my beloved St. Petersburg.

«We didn’t really get to know each other.»

В«We can do it now if you want.В»

– My name is Peter. – Peter wrote jokingly, because his names were already written opposite the messages.

– And I’m Sveta.

– Very nice.

– And me.

Communication began to gain momentum, although it was boring. Peter asked Sveta about her interests, while simultaneously talking about herself, and Sveta mostly answered questions and showed practically no initiative. The conversation ended when Sveta wrote that it was time for her to go to bed, since she had to get up early for work tomorrow. Peter felt a little awkward, because he didn’t have to get up for work. And he didn’t even tell Sveta that he was unemployed.

– If she finds out that I am unemployed and dreams of making money by writing books, she will immediately stop communicating with me. – Peter thought, and therefore did not say anything to Sveta, deciding to leave it until a more opportune moment.

CHAPTER 5. Cinema with my sister.

This morning was no different from previous ones and, perhaps, from future ones. Peter woke up when his mother was getting ready for work.
