? J DOES IT RING A BELL?
For me, this picture conjured up
a series of crazy events. I was the only girl in the group and, when I got my diploma, I was on cloud nine and wanted everyone to see how happy I was. So when going out in the corridor after the graduation I couldn’t hold-back my feelings any longer and started jumping like a child. Little wonder I didn’t notice the steps on my way and fell down. As I fell, I grabbed another boy’s gown, and he came down on top of me. Then we both were taken to hospital with a broken wrist and foot. Guess what happened next! We got to know one another and eventually married. It’s amazing how one picture can call up
an event in such detail. When I look at it, my thoughts always flash back
immediately to that moment. Sometimes I ask him «Does it ring a bell
?»
«Not just one – a thousand bells!» he usually replies, smiling.
conjure up smth – вызывать ч-л. в воображении, памяти, всплывать
call up smth – вызывать ч-л. (воспоминание), припоминать
flash back – всплывать, возникать, вспыхивать в памяти

3. IDIOM
Eric was a reliable colleague and excellent employee. He was not greedy and never had money to burn, but he managed to get by. However, he always said he felt uneasy in our corporation and wanted to try something else. He was content, and never worried about promotion or a great career. To me, he was the odd man out because he even didn’t have a girlfriend. So I wasn’t surprised when he said he was going to get a new lease on life. As the big day arrived, all folks were incredulous, saying, «How can you throw all you’ve worked for down the drain?» However, Eric was ready for adventure. He left the office and never looked back. I’ve never met him since then, but I’m sure he’s happy, if not wealthy.

? LONG-AWAITED REST
It was the first time I had a week off, and we set off
for a lovely hotel which was tucked away
in a deep forest. Our room on the first floor opened onto
a balcony with a lovely view of a charming lake. Woods stretched away
to the horizon. Early morning, I could see a few fishermen, who were spread out
over the lakeshore. My wife and I went out onto the balcony, wrapping ourselves up in tweed blankets, drank frothy coffee, and felt we were completely cut off
from the crazy modern world!
