“Doing anything special this weekend?” there was a particular
note in Julia’s voice which (made) me turn down the volume of the TV and look
up at her.
“No, nothing special. Two or three good films are going to be on. Why do you
ask?” " The thing is that I have absolutely to wear," said Julia. At
that moment she (was wearing) trendy jeans and a casual jumper, that was much
(smarter) that any of my own clothes..
“I (have saved) some money", Julia went on, "and I want to go this
Saturday. Do you want to come with (me)?”
I wish I (had said) No, but I didn't. We'd been good friends for years and I (didn't
want) to disappoint her. As I had expected, it was a nightmare shopping. There
(was)
a crowd (ТАК НАПИСАНО?) of people everywhere and I was
exhausted in an hour but Julia was not going to give up so soon. She said that
she (wouldn't return) home without something really nice. We spent three
horrible hours in the shops and she ended up buying some floral blouse my
grandmother would be happy to have in her wardrobe.
