V. Rewrite the following text into Past Tense.

Boris wakes up when it is already quite light. He looks at his watch. It is quarter to seven. Quickly Boris jumps out of bed and runs to the bathroom. He has just time to take a cold shower and he drinks a glass of tea with bread and butter. He is in a hurry to catch the eight o’clock train. At the railway station he meets three other boys from his group. They all have small backpacks and fishing-rods. In less than an hour they get off the train at a small station near a wood. They walk very quickly and soon find themselves on the shore of a large lake. The boys spend the whole day there fishing, boating and swimming. They return home late at night, tired but happy.
