1. ~ Прочитайте и переведите текст:

My friend Tom is very capable and he can do some very difficult things. For instance, he can drive a car, sail a boat but he cannot ride a bicycle. Isn’t that a funny thing?

Tom is a good sportsman. He can play basket-ball, volley-ball, football and tennis. He can also run, skate, and ski very well. But he cannot swim. Isn’t that strange?

He learns languages easily too. He can speak English, German, Italian, and French. He can speak, write, and read these languages. He can read and write Chinese but he cannot speak it. He cannot speak a word. How ridiculous!
