Book II Lesson 25
Do the English speak English?
I arrived in London at last.
The railway station was big, black and dark.
I did not know the way to my hotel, so I asked a porter.
I not only spoke English very carefully, but very clearly as well.
The porter, however, could not understand me; I repeated my question several times
and at last he understood.
He answered me, but he spoke neither slowly nor clearly.
'I am a foreigner,' I said.
Then he spoke slowly, but I could not understand him.
My teacher never spoke English like that!
The porter and I looked at each other and smiled.
Then he said something and I understood it.
'You'll soon learn English!' he said.I wonder.
In England, each man speaks a different language.
The English understand each other, but I don't understand them !
Do they speak English ?
Book II Lesson 26
The best art critics ?I am an art student and I paint a lot of pictures.
Many people pretend that they understand modern art.
They always tell you what a picture is 'about'.
Of course, many pictures arc not 'about' anything.
They are just pretty patterns.
We like them in the same way that we like pretty curtain material.
I
think
that
young
children
often
appreciate
modern
pictures
better
than
anyone
else.
They notice more.
My
sister
is
only
seven,
but
she
always
tells
me
whether
my
pictures
are
good
or
not.
She came into my room yesterday.'
What are you doing ?'
she asked.'
I'm hanging this picture on the wall,' I answered.
'It's a new one.
Do you like it ?'
She looked at it critically for a moment.'
It's all right,' she said, 'but isn't it upside-down ?'
I looked at it again.
She was right!
It was!
Book II Lesson 27
A
wet
night
Late
in
the
afternoon,
the
boys
put
up
their
tent
in
the
middle
of
a
field.
As soon as this was done, they cooked a meal over an open fire.
They were all hungry and the food smelt good.
After a wonderful meal, they told stories and sang songs by the camp fire.
But some time later it began to rain.
The boys felt tired so they pet out the fire and crept into their tent.
Their sleeping-bags were warm and comfortable, so they all slept soundly.
In the middle of the night, two boys woke up and began shouting.
The tent was full of water!
They all leapt out of their sleeping-bags and hurried outside.
It was raining heavily and they found that a stream had formed in the field.
The stream wound its way across the field and then flowed right under their tent!
Book II Lesson 28
No
parking
?
Jasper
White
is
one
of
those
rare
people
who
believes
in
ancient
myths.
He has just bought a new house in the city, but ever since he moved in, he has had
trouble with motorists.
when
he
returns
home
at
night,
he
always
finds
that
someone
has
parked
a
car
outside
his gate.
Because of this, he has not been able to get his own car into his garage even once.
Jasper has put up' No Parking' signs outside his gate, but these have not had any
effect.
Now he has put an ugly stone head over the gate.
It is one of the ugliest faces I have ever seen.
I asked him what it was and he told me that it was Medusa, the Gorgon.
Jasper hopes that she will turn motorists to stone.
But none of them has been turned to stone yet!
Book II Lesson 29
Taxi!
Captain Ben Fawcett has bought an unusual taxi and has begun a new service.
The 'taxi' is a small Swiss aeroplane called a 'Pilatus Porter'.
This wonderful plane can carry seven passengers.
The most surprising thing about it, however, is that it can land anywhere: on snow,
water, or even on a ploughed field.
Captain Fawcett's first
passenger was a doctor who flew from
Birmingham
to a
lonely
village in the Welsh mountains.
Since then, Captain Fawcett has flown passengers to many unusual places.
Once he landed on the roof of a block of flats and on another occasion, he landed
in a deserted car park.
Captain Fawcett has just refused a strange request from a businessman.
The
man
wanted
to
fly
to
Rockall,
a
lonely
island
in
the
Atlantic
Ocean,
but
Captain
Fawcett did not take him because the trip was too dangerous.
