10. Муж должен иногда спрашивать жену, что она сделала в его отсутствие, в общем,

Note:
In England the practice of setting out written work varies considerably, but college and university
students are expected to present their written works neatly and in accordance with certain basic standards.
Students draw a margin on the left-hand side of each page, about three centimetres wide usually in pencil.
The margin is left free for the teacher's marking.
The date is usually written in the top right-hand comer, and often underlined. If the day of the week is
included, it is always put at the beginning (e.g. 1 September, 1999 or: Monday, 1st. September).
The title of the composition is usually written in the middle of the page, often on the line below the date.
Sometimes it is put on the left, against the margin. The first word of a heading and all the following words
except articles and prepositions should be written with a capital letter.
Each paragraph should be indented, which means that it should begin a little way in from the margin.
Present your composition in the following form.

detached or semi-detached house, a flat in a block of flats or even a room in a communal flat. Anyway,

a hall, a kitchen with an adjacent dining-room, a living-room or a lounge, a couple of bedrooms and
closets (storerooms), a toilet and a bathroom. You can walk slowly around the house thinking what else
