Sports staff said they had to bring the game forward to this Tuesday as school would be closed the next week. We started discussing how to prepare for the exams and Jim was dragging his speech out¹ for an hour as if he were a headteacher. I thought I had ages to prepare for my exams, but they have crept up on me² in no time at all. We got together for a cramming session at Paul’s house and used his printer. Soon he asked us to eke out³ the paper since he ran out of it, and it was late to pop out to buy it.

¹ drag smth out/on – растягивать ч-л.

² creep up on – подкрадываться

³ eke out smth – растягивать (чтобы хватило подольше), экономно расходовать ч-л.
