контроля навыков чтения учащихся.

ПРЕДИСЛОВИЕ кого рода практика.
В данной книге представлены рассказы известного
американского писателя Фрэнсиса Скотта Фицджераль-
да ив сборника "Tales frоm the Jazz bge" (L922). Расска-
зы разнообразны по сюжету, но их объединяет одно -
глубина психологического анализа личности персона-
жей.
Небольшой объем расскавов позволяет использовать
их для чтения и обсуждения в рамках одного академиче-
ского часа на уроках в школе и для самостоятельного
чтения дома.
Тексты адаптированы (Intermediate leuel), снабже-
ны словарем и постраничными комментариями. Они
служат для более адекватного понимания лингвострано-
ведческих, лексических и грамматических понятий и
избавляют от необходимости отвлекаться на поиски
нужного значения слова или фразеологизма, из-за чего
теряется целостность восприятия и чтение становится
скучным.
К каждому тексту предлагается ряд заданий для от-
работки и закрепления навыков владения грамматиче-
ским (Grаmmаr шоrЁ), лексическим (VосаЬulаrу шоrk)

Catskills, but Ьу that time young Fitz-Norman was on his
way back to Montana.

equaI in quantity to all the rest of the diamonds known to
exist in the world. Тhеrе would not Ье enough gold in the
world to buy а tenth раrt of it. And what could any one do
with а diamond that size? Не was, in one sense, the richest

"I did," interrupted Kismine. "We can't imprison them
like those aviators. And it's always easier for Jasmine and
me, because father had it done sоопеr than we expected.
In that wayz we avoided any farewell scene."
"So you murdered them! Uh!" cried John.
"It rмas done чеrу nicely. They wеrе drugged while they

"But I can't understand why you kept on3 inviting
