Матч начался по телевизору в 7 часов, поэтому папа еще смотрел телевизор в 07.30. Мама сидела на кухне. Она спокойно читала женский журнал. Рози примеряла мамину одежду в своей комнате. Двоюродные братья Ника слушали рок - музыку. Она играла очень громко, поэтому они не слышали грохота. В 07.30 собаки лежали возле камина (огня) и спали. Ник с другом пошел в сад играть в футбол. Поэтому в 07.30 он еще был там.
