1. Who is the woman sitting on the sofa in the parlor? 2. I can not
easily see her, but I hear her voice. 3. I wonder whose voice that is.
4. However, I think that it is the voice of a friend of Mother's. 5. Now
I can see her, although she does not see me. 6. I am well acquainted
with her. 7. She is a friend of our whole family, and is visiting a
neighbor of ours ("najbaron nian") in this city. 8. My sister is sitting
on the sofa in another room, and learning her lessons. 9. Soon she
will go to school. 10. Whose book is she reading? 11. That thick book
is mine, but the other books on the table near her are hers. 12. She
prefers to sit in the sewing-room (111) to read or write (98), because
the curtains in front of the windows are not too thick, and so (78)
that room is very light and pleasant. 13. She also likes to look at the
falling snow, and the men and women walking on the muddy streets. 14. On
account of the cold weather, people are wearing thick clothes. 15. The
men and boys are keeping their hands in their pockets while they walk.
16. The girls walking toward the school are friends of my sister's. 17.
In that school they learn to cook. Soon they will be able to bake bread,
and even to cook a whole meal. 18. I think such a custom is very good.
19. Many persons can not cook well enough ("suficxe bone").
