We all have neighbours, and it makes life so much easier if you can manage (1) _____ (get on) well with them.

Peter was convinced that that was his parking space. “I didn’t know I was parking in his space,” said Ken. “He should (7) _______ (speak) to me instead of smashing my car.” The case ended up in court again, and both parties (8) _______ (order) to keep the peace; but the war still goes on. “If we could afford it, we would move,” said Ken, “but we can’t. And anyway, we like it here, apart
from the old fusspot next door, who (9) _____ (bother) us for ages. I wish he (10) _____ (learn) that being good neighbours is a matter of give and take.”

Перевод:
После того, как я закончу школу, я бы конечно же хотела поступить в университет, с детства хотела работать в милиции, но у нас в Беларуси поступить в университет МВД очень сложно, там сложно сдавать экзамены и нужно отличное здоровье. Хотелось бы поступить в Ростовский МВД университет, потому-что там легче сдавать экзамены и вообще легче туда поступить. Но моя мама не хочет отпускать меня учиться в Россию. А в Беларуси я даже и не знаю куда поступать. Было в планах поступления в Витебский университет Машерова на начальное образование или психолога, но так как я всю жизнь занимаюсь спортом, хотелось бы свою жизнь связать со спортом, поэтому может быть если не получится поступить в Ростов, то поступлю в бгуфк, но это еще не точно, за 2 четверти надо подумать и решить, поэтому буду смотреть по баллам и определяться.

After I finish school, I would of course like to enter the university, I wanted to work in the police since my childhood, but it’s very difficult for us to enter the University of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Belarus, it’s difficult to pass exams and you need excellent health. I would like to enter the Rostov University of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, because it is easier to take exams there and in general it is easier to enter there. But my mother does not want to let me study in Russia. And in Belarus, I do not even know where to go. There were plans to enter Masherov’s Vitebsk University for primary education or a psychologist, but since I’ve been doing sports all my life, I would like to associate my life with sports, so maybe if I fail to enter Rostov, I’ll go to Bagufq, but it’s not yet exactly, for 2 quarters you have to think and decide, so I’ll look at the scores and be determined.
