Люблю фантастику с детства. Хотя вопросы сегодня она ставит уже далеко не такие фантастические, а вполне реальные и важные для каждого отдельного человека. Единственный вывод пока один - решить их можно только объединившись ради выживания. Звучит патетично, но можно сказать и проще: "Кем будут твои дети? И будут ли у тебя внуки?"

NO GOOD MARK? Mrs. Neiman, a headteacher at Peter’s new school, was crazy about progressive methods of teaching. Tall and slim, she looked nice in her fifties, with a short haircut that suited her narrow, long-cheekbone face.

Not just in English, but other areas too. Should I continue?’ teacher asked with a smile. ‘Of course!’ half of the class shouted. The rest stopped chatting.
