78 Read the first part of Mike's story. Then in pairs discuss what will happen next.

Part 1

My father comes home from work and I hear the sound of a slamming door. I know it is 4 pm. In an hour or so all other members of my family will be back home and the sound of the door will become a wailing siren in my brain and will warn me of their return. I'm waiting for more conflicts to happen in the evening. It is very likely that my parents and I will find something to fight about tonight again. What can I do about this? I decide to get into my own room, shut the door and find some serenity there.

Soon the house is full of the sounds of several televisions, the radio in my sister's room next door and the yells of my youngest sister. The only thing I ask for is a moment of peace. Is it too much? I can't believe that it is too difficult for them to calm down for some time. Evidently so.

Then, I hear the first knock on my door but knock is not the correct word here. They are the bangs, the mini-explosions that cause the bookshelves tremble and the window glass rattle. It is a real torture: all these comments about my room, calls for help from the sisters and orders to do something from the parents. Just leave me alone!

I know that tension has become part of my relationship with my parents and their demands increase it. I try to ignore the irritation, calm down and relax. But I fail completely. We go on quarrelling until dinner, and then...

Что произойдет дальше?

Ответ:

Based on the story, it seems like the quarreling will continue and probably get worse during and after dinner. Mike will feel more and more stressed and overwhelmed by all the noise and demands from his family. He might try to hide in his room again, but it probably won't help much. He might also try to argue with his parents or sisters because he's so frustrated, or he might just try to ignore everyone and hope for some quiet time, which seems unlikely to happen.

Судя по истории, кажется, что ссоры продолжатся и, вероятно, усилятся во время и после ужина. Майк будет чувствовать себя все более и более напряженным и подавленным из-за всего шума и требований со стороны его семьи. Возможно, он снова попытается спрятаться в своей комнате, но это, вероятно, мало поможет. Он также может попытаться поспорить с родителями или сестрами, потому что он так расстроен, или он просто попытается игнорировать всех и надеяться на некоторое спокойное время, что кажется маловероятным.
