    London is a big city. There are many large and beautiful parks in it. Hyde Park is one of them. Many people go there on Saturdays and Sundays and spend the whole afternoon in the park. They walk there, play games or just sit on the grass.

    It's a beautiful Sunday morning. Pat wants to go to Hyde Park with her mother. Mrs Johnson can't go for a walk with Pat because she must cook Sunday dinner. Pat's brother Henry needn't wash the car this weekend but he doesn't want to go out with his sister because he must look after her all the time. Pat is a little girl, she mustn't run about too much, she mustn't sit on the grass too long ... Besides, Henry wants to go out with Margaret today.

    Mr Johnson is coming into the kitchen. Pat: It's a beautiful day today. Let's go to Hyde Park, Father. Mr Johnson: Why not? It's a very good idea, Pat. Is Henry coming, too? Pat: No, he is not. He doesn't want to go for a walk with me. He's meeting

    Margaret. Henry: Now, don't be silly, Pat. Pat: It's true. Must he go out with her every Sunday? Mrs Johnson: Stop talking, Pat, and get ready. Put on your coat and your black

    shoes. And don't sit on the grass too long. Pat: Oh, mother, stop it, please. I'm not a baby. Mr Johnson: All right, all right. Are you ready, Pat? I'm waiting for you. Come on. Mrs Johnson: Bye-bye. Bill, don't forget to shut the door. And don't lose the key.
