Where do they live?

Pete Sokolov lives in Pushkin street. He lives on the fifth floor of a new nine-storied apartment-house. His family lives in a three-room flat. There are four of them in the family. Pete's father's a worker and his mother's a people's judge. Pete's younger brother Mike is a school­boy. There are two bedrooms and a sitting-room in their flat. One bedroom is for Pete's parents, the other is for the boys. There are two beds, two chairs, a wardrobe, a desk and a lot of books in their bedroom. There is no TV-set in their room, but there's an excellent stereo system. Mike and Pete always do their room themselves. Mike often takes Pete's books and cassets and Pete gets angry. «Where are my things?» he asks or «Why do you take my books?» Mike doesn't answer anything. He gives every­thing back. But still the two brothers are good friends.

Nell Pavlova hasn't got a family and she lives alone in a small flat. She likes her flat very much. Why does she like it? Because it's so sunny and comfortable. There are many flowers in the room and a lot of photoes and pictures on the walls. Nell makes photoes herself. She likes everything in her room. But there's something she doesn't like. She doesn't like to be alone.

This is Steve's house. It's in the suburbs of London and Steve gets to work in his car. Still it takes him about an hour to get there.1 Steve's got a large family: a wife, two daughters and a son. There are three bed-rooms, a dining-room, a bathroom and a large kitchen in his house. There's also a little garden in front of the house. «Do you want tea or coffee?», Steve's wife asks him. But Steve wants nothing. He's very tired. He's sleepy.

I'm at home at last! It's so nice to be at home after a long working day. What's for supper to-night? Oh, I don't know myself. There's something in the fridge... Oh, there's someone on the phone!2 «2457336—two four five seven double three six»3. Jane Snow's here.4 Oh, hi John! What? Pictures? I'm afraid it's too late.

The man who escaped

(Episode 3)

1. At 6 o'clock Baxter is in the warm train compart­ment. Coke is in a field 100 miles away. The winter evening gets darker and colder. The wind cuts through Coke's thin uniform like a knife. Coke is hungry and tired, and his arms and legs are so cold that he can hardly feel them. He wants to find food, warm clothing, and a warm place somewhere. «I have to make a move! I can't just stay in this field and die of the cold», he thinks.

2. Coke gets up and begins to walk. «Where am I? Which direction am I walking in? Am I going back towards the prison?» he asks himself. A few minutes later, the moon comes out and Coke can see better. He stops and looks around. Suddenly he sees a small light not far away. «What can it be? It can't be a car. It doesn't move. It must be a house» he says to himself and begins to walk towards it. The light gets larger. It is a house! He can see the form of the roof in the darkness.

3. Ten minutes later he is outside the house. He stops I and listens. «Strange», he thinks. «I can't hear any­thing, not I even a radio or a television, but there must be someone in there. There is a light on!» Just at that moment, a thought strikes him.

«This is probably the only house around for miles! The police know I'm probably around here somewhere and if they are anywhere, they're in that house, waiting for me».

Coke doesn't move. The wind becomes colder. His feet and hands feel like ice in the snow. «I have to take the chance! I have to! This is the only place I can find warm clothes and food!» he thinks.

His name and address was on the wheel

Hugh Boggs was worried all day. In the morning he received a letter from the police. They asked him to call at the station. Hugh couldn't understand why the police wanted him. He didn't do anything wrong. It was perhaps a mistake.

At the police station a policeman told him that his bicycle had been found. It was picked up in the hills in Wales about a hundred miles away. His name and address were written on the wheel.

The bicycle was sent to his home by train. Hugh was very much surprised when he heard the news. He was amused, too, because it was his old broken bicycle he had left behind last summer when returning to town after his holidays. Now when he receives his bike, he will have to think how to get rid of it again.
