    3. Перекласти текст

    My friendship with Kathy wasn’t a perfect friendship. I learned very soon in our relationship that
    Kathy was jealous. We would have great fun going out shopping but if I bought, say, a dress for
    a party and she thought my dress was better than hers, she would start to say slightly unkind
    things about it. She would come out with me to buy the dress. She would give me a lot of
    helpful advice while I was trying on the various dresses in the shops. Her advice was
    always good. She would even tell the shop assistant if she thought the price was too high. I can
    remember one occasion when she said this and, to my surprise, they knocked the price down so
    that I could afford to buy it. The trouble would come later. When we were actually going to the
    party and we were both dressed, up and she was looking marvellous (for she was very beautiful)
    she would suddenly say, «I think, Sarah, we were both wrong about that dress. It looks a bit
    cheap, doesn’t it!»

    I have always thought that it’s no use (no good) DOING my homework. More than that, I have
    thought that it isn’t worth DOING at all.  First, it takes all my free time.  Second, what on earth
    is the use of DOING it? As for me, I prefer COPING my homework to DOING it on my
    own.  To tell the truth, I can’t stand DOING it. That’s why I can’t help COPYING. As a
    result, I get used to CHEATING and now I have difficulty in STUDYING.  Do you agree with
    me that there is no point in DOING homework? I am looking forward to hearing your opinion.
