My name is Petrov. I live in the centre of Moscow. I work at the Ministry

of Foreign Trade. I am an engineer and I am also a student. Many engineers of
our Ministry study foreign languages. I study English. In the morning I take my
English text-book and my exercise-books and go to the Ministry. The teacher and
the students come into the class-room and sit down at the tables. The students open
their text-books and their exercise-books. I also open my text-book and my
exercise-book. During the lesson we read our texts, write sentences on the
blackboard and do exercises. We do not write many exercises at the lesson. We
sometimes write dictations. We usually write exercises at home. We usually speak
English to our teacher. We sometimes speak Russian at the lesson. After the
lesson we go to the office.

A week ago my friend Boris Klimov came to Moscow from Leningrad. On
Saturday he came to see me and my family. We decided to spend1 the week-end
together and Klimov stayed with us till Monday.
On Sunday we woke up late. We got up at nine oclock, washed and
dressed. Then we had breakfast.
What do you usually do on your days off? Boris asked 2 us at table3. We
often go to the country, my wife answered. Sometimes we go to the theatre or
to the cinema.
Do you often go to the Central Park? Boris asked.
We were there last month. It is a very good park. We like it very much4. Do
you want to go there, Boris?
Oh5, yes, I do. The weather is so fine to-day!
We went to the park with our children.
In the park we skated and skid and the children played with their little
friends.
We came home at two oclock. After dinner Boris and I played chess, and
in the evening we went to the cinema. The film was interesting and not very long.
It began at seven oclock and at eight it was over. We did not want to go home so
early and went to see Klimovs friends. They were very glad to see us and we had
supper together.
We returned home late, but we did not go to bed at once. Boris wrote two
letters to his friends in Leningrad and read them to us.
At twelve oclock we went to bed.

Two years ago my sister graduated from the Institute and went to
Komsomolsk to work there. She is an engineer and works at a factory. Last month
she received a very comfortable flat in a new house. Her flat is on the third floor.
On the fifth of March I received a letter from my sister with many pictures of the
city and of her flat.
This is a picture of my sisters flat (. .). Look at it! There are three
rooms in it: a study, a bed-room and a dining-room. There is also a kitchen and
a bathroom in her flat, but you do not see them in this picture. There is no sittingroom in my sisters flat.
This is her dining-room. The walls of this room are yellow. The ceiling is
white. The floor is brown. In the middle of the room you see a round table. On it
there is a white table-cloth and a vase with flowers. There is an armchair and
four chairs at the table. There is a piano in the corner of the dining-room. My
sister plays the piano very well. She likes music very much. To the right of the
piano you see a door. It is open.
Do you see a writing-table there? Yes, I do.
Is there a lamp on the writing-table? Yes, there is.
What else is there on the writing-table? There is a telephone and two
books on it. There is also a radio-set in the room.
Is there a television-set on the table? No, there is not.
Is there a sofa in this room? No, there is not. There is no sofa there,
but there is a book-case in the corner.
What room is this? It is a study.
To the left of the piano you also see a door. It is also open.
Are there many things in that room? No, there arent.
What things are there in that room?
What room is that?
Is my sisters flat comfortable?
How many rooms are there in her flat?
Were there many comfortable houses in Komsomolsk ten years ago?
Will there be many new fine houses in Komsomolsk soon?

Many people study foreign languages in our country. They attend lessons
before or after work. At home they prepare their home tasks. They read their textbooks and write many exercises. They want to know foreign languages very well.
So they read many books in1 foreign languages.
There is a library of Foreign Literature at our office. Our students often go
there to get books in foreign languages.
Comrade Smirnova is one of our students. She also goes to the library when
she has no English books at home. Now she is at the library.
Smirnova. Good morning!
Librarian. Good morning!
Smirnova. Have you got any interesting English books?
Librarian. Yes, | we have some2. What English writers do you like?
Smirnova. I like Dickens. I read many books by Dickens | in my
childhood.
Librarian. Did you read them in English | or in Russian?
Smirnova. I read them in Russian. I did not know English then.
Librarian. When did you begin to study English?
Smirnova. I began to study English | two years ago.
Librarian. Dont take books by Dickens now. They are too difficult
for you. Take a book by Oscar Wilde | or Jack London.
Their books are easy. You will read them with interest.
Smirnova. All right3. Show me some books by Oscar Wilde, please,
but dont bring The Picture of Dorian Gray. I read it last
month.
(The librarian goes away and soon returns.)
Librarian. I am very sorry, but we have no books by Oscar Wilde on the
shelves now. I advise you to take some book by Jack London.
Shall I bring you Martin Eden or The White Fang?4
Smirnova. Give me The White Fang, please.
Librarian. Here it is!

Dear Victor,
At last I can write you a letter. I could not answer your letter last week
because I was very busy. Yesterday I passed my examination in Literature and in
two days I shall be quite free. In three days my wife will take her last examination1
and in a week we shall leave Moscow for Sochi. We shall go to a rest-home for
our holiday.2
When we were in Sochi last year, we had a very good time there.
You know that I like the sea. I shall swim and lie in the sun3 two or three
hours a day.4 I am sorry you wont be with us. You write that you cannot forget the
holiday which we spent in Alupka two years ago. I cant forget it either.5 I am
sorry you will not go to any resort this year. When will you have your holiday?
Is your wifes health still poor? I hope that soon | she will be all right.
How long do you intend to live in the country? Is there a river and a forest
there? I shall return to Moscow | at6 the beginning of August | as I must
prepare for the new school-year. I think I shall visit you then. May I come
to your place | on the tenth or eleventh of August?7
We shall be very glad to hear from you before our departure.
My best regards to your family. Yours, Boris.

Grammar:

MY GRANDFATHER IN MOSCOW
,
(. 55).

Do you want to go sight-

seeing today?
?
I must be off.
.
Ill be back in a minute.
.
My grandfather is a very old man, but he does not want to retire on a
pension. How can I retire now?, he says, Now, when there is so much work to
do1. Look at our village! Three years ago we built a new school for our children.
We have a cinema. Next year there will be a new hospital in our village and my
grandson will work there as a doctor. No, I cannot retire now!
My grandfather works very well.
Last month our collective farm sent him as our delegate to the Exhibition
in Moscow.
Two days ago he returned home. In the evening many people came to his
house. They wanted to listen to his story about the capital of the Soviet Union.
Tell us about Moscow, they asked him, What kind of city is Moscow?
Did you like it? What did you see there?
Well, well, I shall try to answer all your questions, my grandfather said.
It wasnt my first visit to Moscow, he began. I visited Moscow for the
first time when I was seventeen years old. It was before the Revolution, but I
remember it very well.
The streets of old Moscow were narrow and dirty. There were high
beautiful houses only in the centre where the rich people lived. The workers and
their families lived in small houses in the suburbs of Moscow. Very few of the
workers children could go to school. They worked at factories together with their
parents and helped their families. Their childhood was very hard.

203

When I came to Moscow this time | I did not recognize it. I could
see straight and wide streets, | beautiful squares, | green parks and
gardens. I saw very many new schools, | hospitals, | institutes | and hotels.
I saw the beautiful Moscow Underground | and the new building of Moscow
University. Now | there are many fine buildings | in the suburbs of the city |
too.
Moscow | is an important industrial centre. There are many big
factories in it. I visited some of them and met many interesting people there.
Thank you for your story, one of us said. I think, Comrades, that next
year our grandfather will visit Moscow for the third time. I think that next year he
will again be one of our delegates to the Exhibition in Moscow.

I usually have dinner at half past one, but yesterday I went to the office
without breakfast (I had only a cup of tea) and at twelve oclock I was already
hungry. I dont like to have dinner alone. So I said to Nick: Let us have dinner
together. All right, he answered. I shall join you as soon as I translate this
letter.
When we came into the restaurant there were few people there. We got
cash-checks for dinner and sat down at a table near the window. Soon the waitress
came up to our table. She brought spoons, forks, knives and plates and took our
cash-checks.
Will you have soup today? I asked Nick.
No, | I shant. I am not very hungry, he said. But I shall have some
1
salad, | meat and potatoes , | and ice-cream. Why, | do you like icecream so much?2 I never take ice-cream in winter.3 I like tea with lemon |
or coffee for sweet.
Oh! | Here is the waitress! (The waitress brings some salad). The
salad is very good, | but there is not enough salt in it. Pass me the salt,
please.
Here is the salt!
Thank you.
Shall I pass you some brown bread?
No, | thank you. I usually take it with the soup, | and with the meat

Are there any sweets at the buffet? I want to buy some for my tea. I shall

Dont go there now, we shall go to the buffet together when dinner is over.
So, when dinner was over, we went to the buffet, bought some sweets,

If you look at this picture (see page), you will see a man, a woman and a
child in it. The man is a friend of mine. His name is Smirnov. A week ago he
graduated from the Institute and tomorrow he is leaving for his native town, where
he will work as a doctor. Now he and his wife are preparing for departure. Their
little son is also busy. He is packing his things. He is putting his toys into a box
now. Look at his smiling face. He is happy because he likes to travel. Comrade
Smirnovs wife, a young woman of twenty-four, is also very busy. There are very
many different things which she must pack. You can see shirts, trousers, dresses,
hats, suits, coats, shoes and other1 things on the sofa and on the chairs.

229

What is she doing now? She is closing a suit-case. Besides, she must
go to the shop to buy some food. But she will not go shopping until she packs all
the things.
What else can you see in the picture? I can see some boxes near the
door.
Is Comrade Smirnov closing them? No, he is not. He is writing his
new address on them.
He is in a hurry2. He must finish this work because his brother is already

HOW WE PACKED
So we decided to travel On Friday evening we met to pack the necessary
things. We got a big suit-case for the clothes and two large boxes for the food. We
put all the things which we wanted to take with us in the middle of the floor, sat
round them and began to think how to pack it all.
I shall pack the things, I said, I like to pack, and I can do it very well.
Harris and George [d:d] were very glad. They smiled and began to smoke.
There were many things to pack and it took me a long time to put them all into the
suit-case. But when I finished the work and sat down on the suit-case, Harris said
smiling, Will you take your shoes with you? I looked around () and saw
my shoes under the bed. So I opened the suit-case and put them into it. When I
243

wanted to close the suit-case, I thought, Where is my tooth-brush (

)? Once I forgot to pack it and carried () it to the station in my pocket
(), I remembered. So I decided to unpack the suit-case. What are you
doing? smiled George. But I did not answer him. I took all the things out of the
suit-case and at last found my tooth-brush in one of the shoes

One evening we asked our friend Captain Brown1 to tell us some interesting
story about his voyages. And he told us the following:
It was fifteen years ago. I was a young man then. Our ship was going to
New York. We were having a very fine voyage. One morning the captain 2 came up
to me and said: Mr. Brown, last night I heard such a strange thing that I dont
know what to do about it. I could not sleep at night and I heard a voice in my ear:
Sail north3-north-west! Sail north- north-west! I think we must sail in that
direction.
Excuse me, but I think that you ate too much last night, sir, and that is why
you could not sleep I answered.
The captain got angry.
T did not eat much yesterday, he said, and I heard the strange voice three
times, sir.
The captain ordered his men | to sail north-'north-west. The next
4
day | one of our men | saw a black thing in the sea. The captain looked
through his glasses | and said to me: There is a small boat there | with a
man in it. Wasnt I right last night? We must save the man.
Soon we reached the small boat | and saw a man in it. He was fast
asleep. We took him into our boat | and sailed in the direction of the ship. The
captain was waiting for us.
When we reached the ship, | the man suddenly opened his eyes | and
cried out loudly, Where am I? Where is my boat?
Happy to see you, said the captain, | I am very glad | that we could
save you.
Did you order your men to take me out of my boat while I was asleep?
asked the man.
Certainly, answered the captain. Did you want to perish in your little
boat?

It was already ten oclock in the evening, but James Smith was not at home.
His wife, a woman of thirty, was sitting at the window and looking into the dark
street. Her husband was a Communist. That day he had an important meeting
Suddenly she heard a knock at the door. It was he! He always knocked three
times The woman hurried to the door.
James, a tall man, a little older than his wife, came into the room. He was
smiling. It seemed to her that he looked1 younger and stronger.
I am sorry, dear, I am later than usual to-night. We had an important
meeting. Some workers of our plant are going on an excursion to the Soviet
Union. I am one of them.
That night James could not sleep: the night seemed longer, the bed seemed
less comfortable He fell asleep only at four oclock in the morning. He dreamed
about the greatest and the most beautiful city in the world Moscow. He, a
simple American worker, is walking along the Moscow streets, hundreds of
Russian friends are heartily greeting him
A month later James was hurrying to the port with a small suit-case in his
hand. Soon he joined a group of workers who were waiting for the departure of
the ship.
At last a man in uniform appeared with a list in his hand.
John White!
Here! said one of the men and hurried to the ship.
Mark West! Alan Parker!
James Smith
James looked at his wife, who was standing near him, and smiled: Well 2,
dear, good-bye!
But the man in uniform continued:
James Smith, you will stay here. I am sorry, you cannot go. We have some
reason for

will also come true

Did you have a good journey? ?
I wish you a happy journey!
A pleasant* journey to you!

How do you like it here?

Are you taking a trip** to Klin

?
tomorrow?
Yesterday I got up earlier than usual as I wanted to go to the airport to meet
my old friend Boris Petrov. In 1946 we studied at school together, then, in 1948,
we studied at the same institute in Moscow, but now we live in different parts of
the Soviet Union. Boris lives and works in the North of our country, in
Verkhoyansk, and I live on the sea shore, in Sochi.
Some months ago I wrote a letter to him and invited him to come to my
place for holiday.
Soon I received his answer. He heartily thanked me for the invitation and
asked me to meet him at the airport on the 20th of April. I hope you will not be
angry if I take my wife and my son with me, he wrote
When I left my house for the airport, it was very warm, though it was early
morning1. The air was fresh, the sky was blue, and the sun was shining. In April
the weather is usually fine in Sochi. It seldom rains and it is not very hot. I like
Sochi at this time of the year best of all.
I took a taxi and started for the airport. I am afraid Ill be late, I thought
and asked the driver to go faster. We reached the airport in time. The plane was
just landing. It was only half past seven in the morning, but it was as warm as in
the afternoon.
The passengers were getting out of the plane When I went up to the
plane, I saw a group of people who looked very funny in such warm weather: all
of them had warm coats, warm boots and fur caps on. I came up to them and
recognized Boris and his family. Hallo, glad to see you, I said and continued,
well, its not so cold here as in Verkhoyansk. Dont you think so, Boris?

** Pleasant [pleznt]
**** Trip , ,
273

It seems its just a little warmer here, agreed Boris and laughed, but
when we left our place, it was snowing hard2 and we were not at all hot3. The
weather was as cold as in January, you know.
Now, take off your gloves and other warm things and lets hurry home, I
said, the taxi is waiting for us. It wont take us long to get to my place. Im sure
you will like it here.4

August 20, 1957.
In a few days we shall leave the Soviet land. I hope next year I shall come
back here not as a tourist, but as a student of Moscow University.
She stopped and closed her eyes. She was thinking of her free country, of its
happy future. She was thinking of the friendship between the Chinese and the

Charles Dickens, | one of the greatest and most popular English

novelists, | was born on the 7th of February, | 1812 | in one of the small
towns of England. He was a weak child | and did not like to take part | in
noisy and active games1.
The little boy | was very capable. He learned to | read at an early
age | and read many books in his childhood.
When he was about six, | someone took him to the theatre | for the first
time. He saw a play by Shakespeare | and liked it so much | that he decided
to write a play of his own. When it was ready, he performed it together with
some of his friends. Everybody enjoyed the performance, and the little writer felt
very happy.
When Dickens was nine years old, the family moved to London. They lived
in the suburbs of the capital of England2. Their life was very hard. There were
several younger children in the family, besides Charles. The future writer could
not even go to school because at that time his father was in the Debtors Prison of
the Marshalsea. There was nobody in London whom Mr. Dickens could turn to
for money, and his wife with all the children except Charles went to the prison too
to join him. The family lived in the prison until Mr. Dickens could pay his debts.
Those were the most unhappy days of all Charles life. The boy worked from
early morning till late at night to help his family.
Only at the age of twelve, when his father was out of prison, could Charles
go to school3. He wanted to study very much, but he did not finish school. Two
years later he began to work again.
He worked hard to earn his living, and tried many trades, but he did not like
any of them. His dream was to study.
At the age of fifteen he often visited the famous library of the British
Museum. He spent many hours in the reading-room of that library. He read and
studied there and in this way he received his education.
Later Dickens described his childhood and youth in some of his famous
novels, such as Little Dorrit, Nicholas Nickleby, Oliver Twist, David Copperfield.

I began to earn my living at an early age. When I was about ten, my
stepfather () sent me to London where I began to work with one of the firms.
I did not enjoy my work, certainly, as it was hard and uninteresting and I had to
work from early morning till late at night. Nobody taught me anything there,
nobody ever thought about me, nobody even spoke to me except a few boys who
worked together with me. My life was hard, but I tried to think of it as little as
possible. Once, however, when I was lying awake at night, an idea [ad] came to
me to run away somewhere. But where could I go? I could not return to my
stepfather And then I remembered that I could go to my mothers sister Miss
Trotwood. I did not know her address, I only knew that she lived somewhere in
Dover.
The next Saturday I packed my box and when everything was ready, I asked
a fellow () to help me take the box to the station. On the way to the station,
however, the fellow suddenly disappeared with my box and I was quite alone in the
street

TANYA, THE REVOLUTIONARY
Grammar: 1. to be able to have to
can must (. 80).


!
I dont quite understand you.
.
Where is my book? Ive no
?
.
idea about it.
A brilliant idea came to my mind.
.
Pay attention to this preposition!

It happened in December, 1905. I was ten years old then, but so thin and
small that I looked like a girl of eight. My father was a worker. We lived in the
suburbs of a big city near the factory where Father 1 worked. Once I fell ill with the
flu2 and Mother sent me to bed earlier than usual. I felt very bad and couldnt fall
asleep at once. I heard voices in the kitchen, but couldnt make out what it was all
about3. Then the kitchen door opened and I recognized Fathers voice. Here is the
print, he was saying to Mother. We shall have to hide it somewhere in our flat.
Its very important I did not hear the end of the conversation, for4 my eyes
closed and I fell asleep. When I woke up, it was rather dark in the room and I
could hardly5 see Mothers face over me. She was putting something under my
pillow. At that moment the sound of heavy steps reached my ears and I heard
strange angry voices. Whos there, Mother? I asked in a whisper. Its the
police, she explained. Be quiet. Close your eyes and try to sleep. With these
words Mother left the room.
When I was alone, I suddenly remembered Fathers words: Here is the
print. We shall have to hide itThe print! Its under my pillow, I am sure. They
will look for it everywhere and may find it
I looked around, | saw a jug of milk on the table | and a brilliant idea
came to my mind. I took the print from under the pillow, | ran up to the table
| and tried to put4 some of the print | into the jug. But there was too much
milk in the jug.
Ill have to drink some milk! I must hurry | or I shant be able to do
it. My hands were trembling. I was trying to make as little noise as
possible | and to drink the milk | as quickly as I could. Several times | I
stopped to take breath. Shall I have enough time to hide all the print
before they come? At last the print was in the jug, | and I was back in my
bed. Suddenly the door opened and two policemen came in.
My child is very ill, Mother began. She turned pale and could hardly
continue: The doctor doesnt allow her to get up.

316

Take her out of here, one of the policemen ordered angrily. Father had to
obey him and took me in his arms. The policemen turned over everything on my
bed, but could not find anything and had to leave our place.
The first few minutes we were silent. Mothers face was still as white as
snow. Then Father asked: But where is the print? I dont know, Mother
answered, I put it under Tanyas pillow with my own hands as soon as I saw the
police. Daddy, I said then. Look into the jug! Dont you find that theres more
milk in it now than there was before?
It didnt take Father long to understand everything.
Well, Tanya, he said gaily, I am proud of you. You will make a real
revolutionary!6

ALEXEY LAVROVS STORY

Where have you been all this

Where is Ivanov now?

I dont know. Havent heard
from him for a long time.

.

What do you call this?

Have I ever told you the story of the Lavrovs? They are my neighbours. We
live in the same flat. Why do I want to tell you their story? You will understand it
when you hear it. Let me begin:
Alexey Lavrov, the father of the family, is thirty-two. His wife Anna
Petrovna is thirty. They have two children. One of them is three and the other one
is twenty. Yes, twenty, you have heard me correctly. He is their son and calls them
Father and Mother.
I believe you understand now why I want to tell you this story.
It happened during the Great Patriotic War, when the Soviet people were
bravely fighting against the German fascists.
In 1943 | Alexey went to the front | to defend our Motherland.
Once after a fierce battle | their unit defeated the enemy | and liberated a
small village. When Alexey came into one of the houses, | he did not see
anybody there. Suddenly he heard a weak voice. He turned round | and
saw a boy of about eight. The boy looked thin and pale. What are you
doing here? Is there anyone else in the house? Where are your parents?
Alexey asked him. There is nobody else here. The fascists have killed my
parents, the boy said. Please, dont leave me here. I am afraid to stay in this
house. Alexey thought a little and then decided to take the boy with him.
All the soldiers and officers liked the boy. But Alexey could not keep him at
the front. He did not know what to do.1
Once a delegation of workers came to the front from Moscow. Among the
members of the delegation there was a girl of about eighteen. Alexey asked her to
take the boy to Moscow. She agreed to do so. Soon the delegation left for
Moscow

329

Excuse me! Somebody is knocking at the door. If it is Lavrov, we shall ask

him to continue the story. Itll be more interesting. Oh, here he is! Alexey
Petrovich! Ive just told these young people how you found a little boy in some
small village when you were at the front. They want to hear your story from you. I
am sure youll do it for them!

What about another cup of tea?

Lavrov looked at us, smiled and said, All right, Ill tell you my story. He
sat down in an armchair and began: I like all our holidays, but I always feel
especially happy on the 1st of May, when the spring sun is shining brightly in the
sky, the trees are in blossom, the birds are singing, and the streets are full of
laughing and singing people. All of us usually enjoy May Day. Now Id like 1 to tell
you about one of them, the May Day of 1952, which I shall remember all my life.
Early in the morning on that day I went out to take part in the demonstration.
After the demonstration I was going home when suddenly somebody called me by
my first name. I turned round and saw an old friend of mine, Pavlov by name2.
Hello, he said. Glad to see you. I think we havent met since 1945. I was
also glad to see Pavlov. We spoke about our life and work and about our friends.
By the way, said Pavlov. Do you intend to spend this evening with your
family?
I am sorry to say I have no family yet, I answered. And I havent yet
made up my mind where to go.
Then come to my place to-night, said Pavlov. I agreed with great pleasure
and at eight oclock sharp I was knocking at his door. When I entered the room, it
was already full of people. Pavlov introduced me to his family and the guests.
Everybody was enjoying the party. Some of the guests were dancing, others
were discussing something, joking and laughing.
Suddenly there came the sounds of the piano, and we all heard a beautiful
Ukrainian song.
Everybody grew silent at once. At that moment two more guests appeared.
They were a young woman and a boy of about sixteen. As soon as they entered the
room, they stopped near the piano too to listen to the young singer. When I looked
** . - 100
342

at the woman, I thought, Ive already seen her somewhere, but I cannot remember
where it was I was no longer listening to the song. I was looking at the young
woman and thinking: Ive seen her somewhere. Where was it? Who is she? The
boy calls her Mother, but she does not look more than twenty-five. I came up to
Pavlov and asked him, Dont you find that this mother is too young for such a
son?
You see3, he is not really her son, he answered. In 1944 some officer asked
her to take a little boy from the front to Moscow and He wanted to continue, but
I cried out, T recognize them! And here comes the happy end of my story. The
womans name is Anna Petrovna Lavrova. She is my wife. The boy has now
become a young man. He is a student at the Bauman Institute and will soon
become an engineer. He is my elder son and I am proud of him.
I shall never forget the celebration of May Day in 19524 because on that day
I found my family and my happiness.

LESSON TWENTY-TWO (THE TWENTY-SECOND LESSON)

Text:RED HAND LINE* (A legend)
What has happened to him?
Nothing special.

?
.
***

Hallo!Simpson speaking!

! .

May I speak to Mr. Petrov?

Certainly.
One moment. Hold the line, please.
(Just a minute. Hold on, please).

, ,
.
.
!

We came to Antwerp early in the morning.

Do you want to see the port? Kovalenko asked me. Of course, I do, I
answered. Then lets begin with the ships. Look at their emblems!
I examined the emblems with great interest. I saw different stars and letters,
flags, and golden keys
Suddenly I noticed a very strange emblem. We stopped in front of it to
examine it better. It was a picture of a cut-off hand. Its the emblem of the British
Company Red Hand Line, Kovalenko said. There is a legend that explains the
origin of this terrible emblem1. I can tell you this legend if you like2.
Certainly, I answered. It must be very interesting! It happened very
long ago, Kovalenko began. There lived an old shipowner in England.
Once he fell ill. He called his two sons | and said, | I feel that I shall soon
3
die. I am not rich. I can leave you only one ship, | but she must belong to
only one of you. If you own her together, | you wont be able to live in
peace. Listen to me! You will have to go to the seashore, | jump into the
water | and swim towards the ship. As soon as one of you touches her side
with his hand, | he will become her owner!
The two brothers went to the shore and jumped into the water. When the ship
was already near, the elder brother got tired and could no longer swim quickly.
The younger brother was already reaching the ship. His brother saw this and a wild
idea came to his mind. With a quick movement of his right hand he drew out his
knife, cut off his left hand and threw it in the direction of the ship! His hand fell on
the deck and a few moments later the sailors lifted him on board and greeted him.
While the sailors were dressing his wound, he looked terribly pale, his lips
hardly moved, but one could see triumph in his eyes and make out the words: Ive
done it! Ive done it! I am her owner!
For a while all those4 on board the ship forgot about the younger brother
who was still down in the sea. He was so tired that he could not swim any longer.
Let me have a rest on board the ship! he cried out.

George, Harris and I were spending our holiday in a boat on the river. Once I
woke up at six oclock in the morning and decided to have a swim. But it was very
cold, therefore I decided to wash only my hands and face. I touched the water with
my hand, but it was very cold, and I decided not to wash at all. When I turned
round to get into the boat, I suddenly fell into the river. Look, George, Jerome is
swimming, Harris cried. I did not know that he was so brave, George answered.
Is the water warm? Harris asked me Rather! I answered, Why dont you take
a swim with me? Jump into the water!
But George and Harris did not want to jump into the water at all. I was very
cold when I got into the boat and began to dress. I took a shirt and hurried to put it
on. But as I was in a hurry, the shirt fell into the water. George began to laugh, but
I got angry. Whats so funny here? I asked angrily. But he laughed still louder. I
took a long stick () and got the shirt out of the water. When I had the shirt
back, I looked at it and saw that it did not belong to me. It was Georges. Now I
started to laugh too. I looked at Georges shirt again, then at George who was still
laughing and laughed so loudly that the shirt fell out of my hands into the water
again. Why are you throwing it into the water? asked George who was still
laughing. I couldnt explain it to him at once as I was also laughing, but a few
minutes later I said at last, It isnt my shirt. It is yours. George turned pale.
What? he cried, Is that really so? Why couldnt you dress on the bank? and he
added, Give me the stick quickly. Ill get it out. It was all very funny, but this
time George said in an angry voice, There is nothing funny about it.

They were born in the same town. They played together | when they
were little children, | they went to school together | and finished it on the
same day. They were very happy, | those two | and Vera, | their best
friend, | a girl of their age | who lived in a house across the street.
They decided to go to Moscow and enter a medical institute. All the three
were eager to become doctors.
On hot summer days early in June, 1941, they often walked in the forest,
bathed in the river and spoke of their future.
The 22nd of June, 1941 changed their plans. On that day the Great Patriotic
War broke out.
A week later Peter came to see Vera. Where is Sasha? the girl asked. But
Peter did not answer her question immediately: Listen, Vera, he said.
Tomorrow Alexander and I are leaving for the front. Ive come to say good-bye. I
love you, Vera. Will you wait for me?
The girl tried to smile, but there were tears in her eyes when she was giving
her promise.
The two friends were in different sectors of the front. Vera often received
letters from them in which they wrote about fierce battles and about their new
friends with whom they fought against the fascists for the freedom and
independence of their Motherland. When Vera read their letters, she remembered
how they had spent their free time together, how they had planned to enter a
medical institute and how the war had changed all their plans
Peters letters always ended with the same words, Ill come back. Wait for
me. They always reminded Vera of the day when he had come to her place to say
good-bye. She did not forget that she had promised to wait for him
One cold winter morning the postman knocked at Veras door, Here is a
letter for you, he said. Vera took the letter, but she did not recognize the
handwriting. She opened the envelope hurriedly and read: On the 25th of
December, 1944, Peter Sokolov died the death of a Hero Vera could hear and
see nothing around. She sat motionless for hours

In 1945, when the war was over, Alexander returned home from the army.
He often came to Veras place. The girl was always glad to see him, and they spent
a lot of time together. Soon it became clear to Alexander that he was in love with
the girl, but he did not tell her anything about it. He knew that she could not forget
Peter. When autumn came, Alexander left for Moscow. His dream at last came true.
He entered a medical institute.
Four years later Alexander was spending his summer holidays in his native
town. This time he told Vera that he loved her, and she promised to marry him
when he graduated from the Institute.
Happy and joyful he returned to Moscow to continue his studies. He had to
work hard, but every day he thought of Vera and of their future.
It was his last year at the Institute, | and he spent a lot of time at the
hospital | where he could work with famous professors.
Once | he came to the hospital early in the morning | and began his
usual work. Suddenly | he stopped in front of one of the beds. The sick
mans eyes | were closed, | but it seemed to Ale xander | that he had seen the
man somewhere before.
Who was he? At that moment | the man opened his eyes | and,
Alexander recognized him. It was Peter! But he looked much1 older than
before, | and his hair was quite gray.
Peter! said Alexander, and as the man did not answer, he repeated, Peter,
dont you recognize me? I am Alexander Smirnov! The man smiled weakly and
said at last, I am afraid, you are mistaken! My name is not Peter and I dont know

383

you, weve never met before. But now that Alexander had heard his voice, he
was sure that the man was really Peter. Alexander did not say anything. He went to
Professor Filin and asked the old scientist to tell him all he could2 about the sick
man.
The man does not remember his past, was the answer, He was badly
wounded in the head during the war and lost his memory. Hes been very weak all
this time.
Is it possible to help him? Alexander asked again.
I think it is, the professor answered, But the operation will be very
serious and painful. He must have a good rest after it. After he recovers and
leaves the hospital, somebody must take good care of him. That is the main
reason why we havent yet operated on him. We tried to find out something about
his family, but it was almost impossible. As I have already told you, he remembers
nothing of his past.
Ive known him since childhood, Alexander said thoughtfully. As soon as
he is able to leave the hospital, Ill take him to my place. Ill do my best to help
him.
The operation returned Peter his memory. Two months later he was able to
move to Alexanders place. He was getting stronger and stronger with every
passing day, and soon he was quite well. Peter often asked Alexander about his
studies, his new friends at the Institute, but they never spoke about Vera.
One evening when Alexander was reading some medical book, Peter
suddenly asked him how Vera was and where she lived. Alexander did not answer
at once, but his voice was firm when he said that she still lived in their native town
and that they would go to see her as soon as he passed his state examinations.
That was in April 1950, and three months later Alexander and Peter were
knocking at Veras door. When the girl saw them, she stood motionless, her face
grew deathly white, she was trying to say something, but could not. Peter came up
to her, and for a moment the two forgot about Alexander.
What is it? said Vera at last. Her voice was trembling, but she looked
happy when she turned to Alexander and repeated, What is it, Sasha? Its my
wedding present, Alexander answered softly. Dont you like it?

***
Shall we invite the Sedovs | to
watch television tonight?
?
That goes without saying.

Every worker must understand | that the only way to a happy future
| is struggle A knock at the door | interrupted Bauman. He stopped
speaking | and looked first at the people sitting a round him, | then at the
dentist, | in whose waiting-room | they were having their secret meeting.
Do you expect any patients? Bauman asked the dentist. Everybody
understood | what Baumans question meant. They didnt even speak to
each other.1 They knew what to do. One of them | accompanied by the
doctor, | quickly went into the doctors office | while the others sat down on
the chairs standing along the wall | and pretended to be patients | waiting for
their turn. It did not take them long | to do all that. When everything was
ready, | the dentists maid | went to the door to answer the knock | and soon
returned with an unexpected visitor, | who tried to get straight to the
dentists office. Why, | it isnt your turn, | one of the patients, | sitting
by the door | said to him.
I cant wait. I have a terrible toothache the man answered while he
hurriedly examined everybodys face.
Bauman, who pretended that he was reading a newspaper, didnt even turn
his head to look at the strange visitor. However, he could clearly see the mans
face. He recognized him at once. It was a spy, that same man whom he had often
seen before.
Has he brought the police with him ? One thing was clear. It was
necessary to keep the spy in the flat as long as possible, so that he could believe
that they were real patients.2 Bauman looked up at the newcomer and for a moment

400

it seemed to him that there was joy in the mans eyes. Then Bauman said as
politely and indifferently as he could.
I say,3 we dont mind if the doctor receives you first, we can wait since you
have a bad toothache.
The spy was at a loss. At that moment the door to the doctors office opened
and the doctor asked the next patient in. Bauman who continued watching the spy
suddenly said, If one has any bad teeth, he must certainly have them pulled out.4
In a second the spy was already sitting in the dentists armchair. The doctor
told him to open his mouth wide and examined his teeth with great care, then he
ordered him to open his mouth still wider and not to close it 5 and began working
quickly.
A quarter of an hour later the doctor showed the patient two large yellow
teeth and said: It was rather a serious operation. Take better care of your teeth.
Ten roubles, please.
For a while the spy stood at a loss.
Do you want me to do anything else for you? the doctor asked politely.
The spy answered nothing, paid the money and with a groan ran out into the
waiting room. He expected to find no one there, but to his great surprise everybody
was in his place. The spy had nothing to do but leave the doctors flat.
When he had left, someone said: Its good luck the spy had bad teeth
But he didnt have any He just has two good teeth less now than he had
before , the dentist explained and added: and it didnt cost him much. Only ten
roubles!
Everybody laughed and Bauman said, Thats a good lesson to him. Didnt I
say that they would break their teeth if they fought against us! I wonder whether
after this he will be able to go and report to the police. Well, I think now we may
go on with our meeting.

A SOVIET PILOT

Well, | weve had a good rest.

A big English ship was approaching a Soviet port in the White Sea. The
ship was a few miles off1 the port when a terrible storm broke. It became quite
dark. A strong wind was blowing, big waves were rolling over the deck. The crew
fought the storm bravely, but all they did was not enough. The ship was still in
great danger. Though the shore could already be seen in the distance, it was
impossible to land.
The English sailors were terribly tired and the ship could hardly move on
when she was noticed from the shore by Soviet sailors. Soon the crew of the ship
saw a small boat approaching them and a few minutes later a Soviet pilot was on
board the ship. The pilot started working at once. The captain, who was watching
the pilots work with great pleasure, thought: Its good luck they have noticed us.
Now the ship will be safely directed to the shore, I am sure.
The storm did not stop. The sky was covered with dark clouds and it was
raining hard. But the ship directed by the brave Soviet pilot sailed straight to the
shore. Soon she was in the port and out of danger.
What a wonderful pilot he is! thought the captain and went up to the pilot
to thank him before he left the ship.
The captain wanted to say something pleasant.
I say! He began. The pilot turned round and and to the captains
great surprise he saw the pleasant face of a young woman with blue smiling eyes
and a small turned-up nose.
I say, he repeated, but this time with quite a different expression. Who
has sent you here? Dont you know that a woman at sea 2 brings misfortune? He
was so excited and angry that he could hardly go on.
Nobody has sent me here, Vera Pavlova answered calmly. Ive just done
my duty, Im a Soviet pilot and Im proud of it.
She was about to leave the ship when something unexpected happened. She
heard one of the sailors crying out loudly: Thank you, pilot! and his words
repeated by the whole crew were carried far away by the wind.

My name is Robinson Crusoe [kru: sou]. I was born in the City of York.
When I was quite a boy, I wanted to become a sailor. I dreamed of voyages to
distant () countries as I felt rather unhappy at home.
Once when I was eighteen years old, I started for Hull [hl], where I met a
boy whom I had seen in my native town before. His father was captain of a ship
which was starting for London that very day. The boy said to me: Will you come
with us, Rob? I was very glad to join them onboard the ship.
When we were some miles off the shore, the sky began to cover with clouds,
and it was not long before a terrible storm broke. The weather became worse with
every minute. Suddenly one of the sailors cried out that something terrible had
happened to the ship, and it seemed she was in great danger.

436

I was so excited that I could hardly understand anything. Its the end, I
thought, We shall all die. At that moment we noticed a ship in the distance.
When the ship came nearer, a small boat was sent out to help us.
The waves were rolling over the boat, but the brave sailors did their best to
break through the wind and the waves. At last the boat reached us, and we all
safely got into it. The moment we got off the ship, a big wave covered her and
soon she disappeared under the water.
It took us several hours to reach the shore. When at last we had landed, my
friend told his father who I was and how I had got on board the ship. I was about to
tell him of our bad luck when the captain interrupted me angrily, Young man, you
have brought us misfortune. Never go to sea again.
I could hardly say a word when I heard him, but I decided that I should go
on trying to make a sailor.
Indeed ( ), soon I was lucky to make friends with a captain
who took me on another voyage.

People say that once there lived in China a poor student, whose name was
Me. The student Me was so poor that he couldnt pay even for a cup of tea.
Once, being very hungry, Me entered one of the small tea-rooms of the town
and asked its owner to give him something to eat as he was dying of hunger. The
owner felt sorry for the poor young man and gave him some food, though he knew
that he wouldnt be paid for it.
Some months had passed. Once Me appeared in the tea-room again and said
to its owner:
I am leaving this place for ever. Ive got no money to pay for all Ive eaten
here. However, I dont want to be ungrateful. Saying these words the student Me
took a piece of yellow chalk out of his pocket and to the owners great surprise
drew a stork on the wall of the tearoom. The stork looked quite like a real one
except for his yellow colour1.
This stork, said Me, will bring you ten times as much money as I owe
2
you . Each time people gather in the tea-room and clap their hands three times,
the stork will get off the wall and dance3. Remember one thing, however,you are
not to make the stork dance for one man only. And now, good-bye! With these
words the student Me turned round and left the tea-room.
The owner was greatly surprised and decided to see whether the student had
told him the truth. On the following day, when his tearoom was crowded with
people, he asked them to clap their hands three times. And the moment they did so,
the yellow stork got off the wall and began dancing. How gaily and amusingly he
danced!
439

When the stork finished his performance, he bowed and went back to its
place on the wall. The guests could hardly believe their eyes. They had enjoyed
themselves greatly. One could hear them talk about the wonderful bird when
leaving the tea-room.
The news about the dancing stork reached every corner of the town 4.
Everybody wanted to see this miracle with his own eyes. So day by day the owner
of the tea-room was getting richer and richer, though his tearoom was usually
visited by poor people.
Once, however, a rich man arrived at the tea-room. He had also heard about
that miracle and wanted to amuse himself that night.
Entering the tea-room he saw only poor people sitting around. He put a lot of
money on the table in front of the owner and said that he wanted his wonderful
stork to dance for him alone. Seeing so much money the owner forgot what the
student had warned him of. He clapped his hands three times. The stork got off
the wall as usual, but how slowly and unwillingly he danced! How sad and ill he
looked! He didnt finish his dance this time and without a bow went back to its
place and never moved again. The rich man clapped his hands many times, he
shouted at the bird angrily trying to make the stork get off the wall and finish his
performance, but the bird wouldnt move. 5 The owner of the tea-room got very
much upset because he realized that they could no longer make the stork dance.
At night a loud knock at the door was heard. When the owner went to
answer it, he saw the student Me standing there in silence. Without a single word
Me took a small pipe out of his pocket, played a tune and slowly went away.
Suddenly the stork moved, quickly got off the wall and hurried after the student.
Since then nobody has ever seen the student Me with his wonderful stork again.
Old people say that if any such miracle appears in any place, it must belong
to all people. But if any man tries to keep it for his own pleasure, it will disappear
just as the yellow stork did.

You are right, ___ brother, said ___ Wind, ___ Mother does not know

Be silent, you, ___ bad boys, said ___ little Moon interrupting ___

A NEW TALENT ON THE STAGE
Grammar: 1. (. 99).
2. neither ... nor; either ... or; both ... and (. 100, 101,

3. So do I, Neither

Are you going my way?
You had better stay at

No, | I would rather go to
the theatre.
How did the concert go?

no ?

.
, .
?

There are people who are neither actors, nor producers, yet1 they are so
fond of the theatre that they cannot live without it.
Nick Petrov, a friend of mine, is one of such people. He is not a Muscovite,
but he rather often comes to Moscow on business trips and never misses the
opportunity of going to the best theatres in the capital.
Once he came to Moscow on business and on Saturday he invited me to the
theatre. He said that Pygmalion* was on, with a new actress in the leading part.
The other day I saw her name on the posters, he added. I wonder how
she will manage that most difficult part!...
We came to the theatre just before the beginning. The house was packed.
Our seats were in the third row of the stalls and we could see and hear everything
very well. Soon after we took our seats, the lights went slowly out and the curtain
rose.
The performance of the talented actress made a deep impression on
everybody. The audience greeted her with a storm of applause after each act.
The rest of the cast were wonderful as usual. The best actors of the company
performed that night.
During the interval the new actress was much spoken of. We learned that
she had come to Moscow from one of the small towns of our country where she
worked at the local theatre. The part of Eliza Doolittle ** was her favourite. The
young actresss dream was to perform that part in the capital of our country. So she
decided to go to Moscow.
One winter day she came to the theatre and asked the leading actors to give
her the opportunity of performing before them a few scenes from Pygmalion. Her
performance was so fine that she was immediately given the part of Eliza. During
the rehearsals the famous actors of the theatre did their best to help her.
** [pmeln]
**** [laz du:ltl]
458

At last the great day had come when she appeared on the stage of one of the
best Moscow theatres. All the audience from gallery to pit were applauding her.
There was no doubt that she was a great success. The Moscow theatre-goers
warmly greeted the appearance of a new talent.
DIALOGUE
(to be learned by heart)
A.Lets go and see Pygmalion. They say | its very well staged. I
havent seen it yet.
B. Neither have I. Its difficult to get tickets | to the Maly Theatre,
isnt it?
A. Rather. But I think its possible to get tickets for this play. It has
already run for many nights.
B. It doesnt matter. Im sure the house will be packed. Its a pity we
didnt buy tickets in advance.
A. Well! If they havent got any tickets to the Maly Theatre, | we may
go either to the Art Theatre | or to the Pushkin Theatre. I am fond of
the Art Theatre.
B. So am I. Both the company and the staging | are perfect there.
A. Well, | heres the box-office. Im sure well be lucky.

LESSON TWENTY-NINE (THE TWENTY-NINTH LESSON)

Text:
POST HASTE1 (after Colin Howard)
Grammar: neednt (. 104).
Will this bus take us to the postoffice?
Sure.
Whats the fare?
Forty kopecks, please. Dont
trouble to pay your fares. Ive
already paid for both of you.

?
.
?
.
.
.

I say, I am pleased to see you, said the little man standing by the letterbox. Oh, hallo! I said, stopping Simpson, isnt it?
The Simpsons were newcomers to the town, and my wife and I had only met
them once or twice.
Yes, thats right! returned Simpson.
I wonder if you could give me some money. I put my hand into my pocket.
You see,he continued, my wife gave me a letter to post, and Ive just noticed
it isnt stamped. It must go to-nightit really must! And I dont think the postoffice will be open at this time of night, do you? It was about eleven oclock and I
agreed that it seemed so.
I thought, you see, Id get stamps out of the machine, explained Simpson,
only I find I have no small change about me.2 Im sorry, but Im afraid I
havent either, I said.
Oh, dear, dear! he said.
Maybe somebody else has, I said.
There isnt anyone else.
We both looked up and down the street, but nobody could be seen around.
Yes, well! I said intending to move off. But he looked so upset standing there
with a blue unstamped envelope, that I couldnt really leave him alone.
Ill tell you what, I said. Youd better walk along with me to my place
its only a few streets off and Ill try to find some change for you there.
Its really very good of you! said Simpson.
At home, we managed to find the money he needed. He thanked me and left.
I watched him take several steps up the street and then return to me.
I say, I am sorry to trouble you again, he said. The fact is were still
quite strangers round here andwell, Im rather lost, to tell you the truth3. Will you
tell me the way to the post-office?
I did my best. It took me some minutes to explain to him where the postoffice was. At the end of that time I felt as lost as Simpson4 and decided to come
along5 with him. I led the way to the post-office. Simpson put a penny into the
automatic stamp-machine. The coin passed through the machine, but with no
result.

474

It is empty, I explained. Simpson was so excited that he dropped the

letter on the ground and when he picked it up there was a large black spot on its
face.
Dear me6, said he. My wife told me to post the letter to-night. After all 7 it
is not so important, but you dont know my wife. I had better8 post it now.
Suddenly I remembered that I had a book of stamps at home. It will be
posted, I said. But wed better hurry, or we shall miss the post. It took rather a
long time to find the book of stamps. But when we found it, we saw after all that it
was empty. The last thing I could advise him to do was to post the letter
unstamped.
Let the other man pay double postage on it in the morning.
I took him firmly by the arm and accompanied him to the post-office in time
for the midnight collection. He dropped in his letter and then, to finish off my job,
I took him home.
I am so grateful to you, really, he said when we reached his home. That
letter its only an invitation to dinner, to Mr. ... Dear me!
Why, whats the matter?
Nothing. Just something Ive remembered.
What?
But he didnt tell me. He just opened his eyes and his mouth at me like a
wounded goldfish, hurriedly said Good-night, and quickly went inside9.
All the way home I was wondering what it was he had remembered.
But I stopped wondering the next morning, when I had to pay the postman
double postage for a blue envelope with a large black spot on its face.

LESSON THIRTY (THE THIRTIETH LESSON)

Text: Mr. WINKLE ON THE ICE (after Charles Dickens The Pickwick Papers*)
Grammar: Perfect (. 105).
You know, | Peter is to play
for our team in the next match.
You dont say so! He looked
quite ill the other day.
So far as I know | he is quite
well | and in good form.
Then Ill go without fail | and
shout for him.

,, .

One fine winter day Mr. Wardle in whose house Mr. Pickwick and his
friends were staying said:
What do you say to an hour on the ice?1 Everybody liked the idea.
You skate, Winkle, dont you? (Mr. Wardle had often heard Mr. Winkle
say that he went in for many kinds of sport).
Yeyes; oh, yes, replied Mr. Winkle. IIam rather out of practice.
Oh, do skate2, Mr. Winkle, said one of the ladies. I like to see it so
much.
Oh, it is so graceful, said another young lady. A third young lady 3 said it
was so elegant.
I should be very happy4, I am sure, said Mr. Winkle, reddening, but I
have no skates.
Hearing this, one of Mr. Winkles friends immediately agreed to lend him
his own pair.
You neednt worry about skates, somebody added. There are a lot of
them downstairs.
Mr. Winkle said he was greatly pleased, but looked rather uncomfortable,
Old Wardle led the way to a very nice skating-rink on a small lake near his
house. The snow had already been swept away. The younger guests immediately
put on their skates. Old Wardle soon joined them and they successfully performed
a dance on the ice. All this time, Mr. Winkle, blue with cold, was trying to put on
his skates. After the skates had been put on at last, Mr. Winkle was raised to his
feet with the help of Sam Weller.
Now, Sir, said Sam, Show them how to do it.
Stop, Sam, stop, said Mr. Winkle, trembling and catching hold of Sams
arm.
** The Pickwick Papers is the first novel by Charles Dickens. It was published in 1836 and was a
great success. It has been translated into many languages since then and is read with great
interest all over the world. Everybody enjoys the amusing adventures of Mr. Pickwick, his
servant Sam Weller and his friends the members of the famous Pickwick Club. Here is an
extract from this novel.

492

How slippery it is, Sam!

Not an uncommon thing with ice, Sir, answered Mr. Weller. Hold up 5,
Sir.
Thesethese are very bad skates, arent they, Sam? asked Mr. Winkle.
Now, Winkle, cried Mr. Pickwick, who did not know what was the matter.
Come, the ladies are waiting for you.
Yes, yes, replied Mr. Winkle. I am coming.
Well, Sir, start off! said Sam, trying to free himself from Mr. Winkle.
Wait a minute, Sam, asked Mr. Winkle. I remember Ive got two coats at
home, that I dont want, Sam. You may have them, Sam.
Thank you, Sir, replied Mr. Weller, touching his hat.
Never mind touching your hat, Sam,6 said Mr. Winkle hurriedly. You
neednt take your hand away to do that. I intended to give you five shillings this
morning, Sam. Ill give it to you this afternoon, Sam.
You are very good, Sir, replied Mr. Weller.
Please, hold me at first, Sam, will you? said Mr. Winkle. I shall soon
learn how to do it. Not too fast, Sam, not too fast.
But at that moment Mr. Pickwick suddenly shouted from the opposite bank,
Sam!
Sir? said Mr. Weller.
Here. I want you.
Let me go, Sir, said Sam. Dont you hear Mr. Pickwick is calling me?
and taking no notice of the unhappy Mr. Winkle7, Mr. Weller pushed him, and the
latter fell on the ice and sat there, trying to smile. Mr. Pickwick ran up to Mr.
Winkle. He was angry and excited.
Take Mr. Winkles skates off, he said to Sam Weller.
But I have only begun ... said Mr. Winkle weakly.
Take his skates off, repeated Mr. Pickwick. When the skates had been
taken off, Mr. Pickwick said to Sam: Lift him up.
Sam helped Mr. Winkle to rise. Then Mr. Pickwick walked a short distance
away from the rest of the company, asking Mr. Winkle to follow him and said in a
low voice:
You are a great liar, Sir! With these words Mr. Pickwick turned slowly
away from Mr. Winkle and joined his friends who continued skating.

ON THE SKATING-RINK
Katherine [krn] was late and MacGregor [mre] sat on the bench of
the skating-rink waiting for her. He was blue with cold even though he was trying
to warm himself. At last Katherine arrived carrying two pairs of skating boots.
MacGregor stood up quickly and nearly slipped on the ice. He looked at her and
smiled a little, not knowing what to expect of her.
You look so serious. Here are your skates, she said sitting down on the
bench.
Thank you. He sat down near her.
She was already taking off her shoes and pulling on her skating boots.
MacGregor expected her to say something more important to him, but she kept
silent for a while and then said, Get your skates on.
Do you really want to skate? He glanced at the boots in his hand.
She didnt look up, What else? she said.
I wanted to talk with you, he said.
Oh! What about? she repeated.
506

He was surprised, Isnt there anything to talk about?

Katherine seemed to take no notice of his words. You are certainly very
serious this morning, she said.
MacGregor tried again, It is difficult to explain all this, Katherine.
What do you want to explain? She stood up on her skates.
Myself to begin with, he said. He took off one of his boots. He did not
hurry. It took him rather a long time to pull on one of the skating boots.
Its very important for both of us, he said, You see...
Come on, she interrupted, Get your skates on.
I dont feel like skating*, he said with as much control as possible.
Arent you going to try?
MacGregor could not skate at all, but he had already made up his mind not
to show it to Katherine.
A single look at MacGregor was enough to show Katherine that he would
not be able to make a single step on the skates. Yet she did not stop him, even
though she wanted to.
He was standing up, but he was not smiling.
Come on, she said.
He moved forward and immediately fell on the ice.
Katherine laughed.
MacGregor was red, and he tried to smile.
Youre rather out of practice, she said.
MacGregor tried to calm the anger which was rising in him.
I dont think Im much good at skating, he said, I just wanted to talk with
you, Katherine.
Katherine did not laugh. She stood near him while he lay there a moment.
She could see his hands shaking as he sat up and started to take off his boots.
I didnt come out to be laughed at, he said slowly with terrible calm. He
pulled off one of the skating boots and unlaced () the other one
wildly. He stood up with only socks on his feet, and without looking at her walked
across the ice to the opposite side of the skating-rink...

ELIZA SAVES HER CHILD
It happened many years ago in the United States of America. Eliza, a young
mulatto-woman [mju:ltou], learned that her master had sold her little son. She
had heard her master speak about it to his wife. Eliza decided to save her son.
Early in the morning, when everybody in the house was still asleep, she
woke up the boy, took him in her arms and went out of the house trying to make as
little noise as possible. She hurried on, stopping only for a few minutes to give the
child something to eat. An hour before sunset she entered the village of T., by the
Ohio River [ouhaou] which lay between her and liberty, for across that river there
was Canada [knd] and free life.
It was now early spring and big pieces of ice were moving slowly in the
water. Eliza went into a small house on the bank and asked the hostess [houst s],
Isnt there a boat that takes people across the river? No, said the woman, the
boats have stopped running. Eliza almost decided to stay in the house for the
night when looking out of the window she saw the man who had bought her son.
Eliza looked wildly about her. One door of her room opened to the river. She
caught her child in her arms and ran out of the house. When the trader noticed her,
she was already on the bank. With one wild cry she leaped () on to a
large piece of ice, which almost turned over, but she did not stay there a moment.
She leaped to another and still another piece of ice. She saw nothing, felt nothing,
till, as if in a dream, she saw the other bank of the river and a man who was
helping her up the bank.
You are a brave girl, said the man.
Oh, save me... do save me... do hide me! said Eliza, My child... this boy...
they have sold him.
Well, youve earned your liberty, and you shall have it! Go there! They will
help you, and he pointed to ( ) a white house which stood a short
distance away.
(After Uncle Toms Cabin by Beecher Stowe)
