  Лиза, спасибо огромное за ваш труд: я активно пользуюсь им. Нет ли у вас больше текстов для детей? Мы проработали все, вплоть до Фионы, и думаем, как быть дальше? И еще, вы рекомендуете учебники для детей. Возможно ли их скачать с Интернета? Если да, то можете ли вы поделиться ссылкой? Благодарю.

    Боюсь, что отвечаю уже поздно… Тема может быть любой. Главное, правильно подобрать его по уровню знаний школьников. Можно взять текст из моих топиков. А задания могут быть связаны с новыми фразами и какими-то грамматическими конструкциями, встречающимися в тексте.

Shmily Text 2

My grandparents were married for over half a century, and played their own special game
from the time they had met each other. The goal of their game was to write the word
“Shmily” in a surprise place for the other to find. They took turns leaving
“Smily” around the house, and as soon as one of them discovered it, it was their turn
to hide it once more.

They dragged “Smily” with their fingers through the sugar and flour containers to
wait whoever was preparing the next meal. They smeared it in the dew on the windows
overlooking the patio where my grandma always fed us warm, homemade pudding with blue food
coloring. “Shmily” was written in the steam left on the mirror after a hot shower,
where it would reappear bath after bath. At one point, my grandmother even unrolled an
entire roll of toilet paper to leave Shmily on the very last sheet.

There was no end to the places “Shmily” would pop up. Little notes with
“Shmily” scribbled hurriedly were found on dashboards and car seats, or taped to
steering wheels. The notes were stuffed inside shoes and left under pillows. “Shmily”
was written in the dust upon the mantel and traced in the ashes of the fireplace. This
mysterious word was as much a part of my grandparents’ house as the furniture.

It took me a long time before I was able to fully appreciate my grandparents’ game.
Skepticism has kept me from believing in true love- one that is pure and enduring.
However, I never doubted my grandparents’ relationship. They had love down pat. It was
more than their flirtatious little games; it was way of life. Their relationship was based
on a devotion and passionate affection which not everyone is lucky enough to experience.

Grandma and grandpa held hands ever chance they could. They stole kisses as they bumped
into each other in their tiny kitchen. They finished each other’s sentences and shared
the daily crossword puzzle and word jumble. My grandma whispered to me about how cute my
grandpa was, how handsome an old man he had grown to be. She claimed that she really knew
“how to pick ‘em”. Before every meal they bowed heads and gave thanks, marveling at
their blessing: a wonderful family, good fortune, and each other.

But there was a dark cloud in my grandparents’ life: my grandmother had breast
cancer. The disease had first appeared ten years earlier. As always, Grandpa was with her
every step of the way. He comforted her in their yellow room, painted that color so she
could always be surrounded by sunshine, even when she was too sick to go outside.

Now the cancer was once again attacking her body. With the help of a cane and my
grandfather’s steady hand, they still went to church every morning. But my grandmother
grew steadily weaker until, finally, she could not leave the house anymore. For a while,
Grandpa would go to church alone, praying to God to watch over his wife. Then one day,
what we all dreaded finally happened. Grandma was gone. “Shmily. It was scrawled in
yellow on the pink ribbons of my grandmother’s funeral bouquet. As the crowd thinned and
the last mourners turned to leave, my aunts, uncles, cousins, and other family members
came forward and gathered around Grandma one last time. Grandpa stepped up to my
grandmother’s casket and, taking a shaky breath, he began to sing to her. Though his
tears and grief, the song came, a deep and throaty lullaby.

Shaking with my own sorrow, I will never forget that moment. For I knew then that,
although I couldn’t begin to fathom the depth of their love, I had been privileged to
witness its unmatched beauty. S-H-M-I-L-Y: See How Much I Love You

Thank you , Grandpa and Grandma, for letting me see.

Text 3

In 1608 an Englishman whose name was Thomas Coryate visited Italy. He liked the country
and noted down every interesting thing he found. But there was one thing which he found
more interesting than the others. In his diary Thomas wrote, “When the Italians eat
meat, they use small forks. They don’t eat with hands because, as they say , do not
always have clean hands”.

Before leaving for England, Thomas Coryate bought a few forks.

At home Thomas gave a dinner party to show the invention to his friends. When the
servant brought the steak, he took out a fork and began to eat like they did in Italy.

Everybody looked at him in surprise. When he told his friends what it was, they all
wanted to take a good look at the strange thing. All his friends said that the Italians
were very strange people because the fork was very inconvenient.

Thomas Coryate tried to prove the opposite. He said it was not nice to eat with one’s
fingers because they were not always clean.

Everybody got angry at that . Did Mr. Coryate think that people inEngland always had
dirty hands? And weren’t the ten fingers they had enough for them?

Thomas Coryate wanted to show that it was very easy to use the fork. But the first
piece of meat he took with the fork fell to the floor. His friends began to laugh and he
had to take the fork away.

Only fifty years later people in England began to use forks.

London Text 4

London is the capital of Great Britain. London is a very old town. London is two
thousand years old. Many years ago London was a small town on the Thames. There were a lot
of villages round it. After many years London and three hundred villages grew into a very
large city. Some of the names of those villages are the names of the streets in modern
London-Kensington, Westminster.

Now London is a beautiful city with large squares and parks. The city of London is the
business centre. East End includes the poor districts. West of London is the West End
where rich people live.

Trafalgar Square is in the centre of the West End of London. In the centre of Trafalgar
Square there is the column made of granite. On the top of the column there is a
17-feet-tall statue of Admiral Nelson who defeated the French at the Battle of Trafalgar
in 1809. The total high of the monument is 184 feet (44 meters).On the pedestal is a
bronze relief cast from a captured French cannon, representing Nelson’s victory.

On the North side of Trafalgar Square is the National Gallery.

The National Gallery has one of the finest collections of pictures in the world.

THE STORY OF MY TROUBLES

From my childhood I was an easily taught and obedient boy. My kindness was so
noticeable that my friends made fun of me. I was especially fond of animals and had a
great number of pets. With these I spent most of my time, and never was so happy as when
feeding and playing with them. My character did not change much when I grew up.

I married early, and was happy to find in my wife a character very much like my own.
Seeing my love for pets she never lost a chance of getting the most pleasant animals. We
had birds, gold-fish, a fine dog, rabbits, a small monkey, and a cat.

This cat was a remarkably large and beautiful animal, quite black and surprisingly
clever. In speaking of his cleverness, my wife, who was a superstitious woman, often
mentioned the old popular belief, which considered all black cats to be in disguise.

Pluto- this was the cat’s name-was my favourite pet and playmate. I alone fed him,
and he followed me everywhere about the house. It was even with difficulty that I could
prevent him following me through the streets.

Our friendship lasted for several years, during which my character (I blush to confess
it) had changed for the worse. I became day by day more moody and irritable. It often
happened that I hurt the feelings of others; I suffered myself as I was rude to my wife.
At last I even hit her.

My pets, of course, could feel the change in my character. In fact, I began to treat
them cruelly. As for Pluto, I held back from cruelty as I did treat cruelly the rabbits,
the monkey, or even the dog when they came in my way. But my illness took hold of me- for
what other illness is like alcohol!- and at last even Pluto ,who was now becoming old,
even Pluto began to feel the effects of my temper.

1. Answer the questions:

1. What kind of pets do they have?
2. What was the cat’s name?
3. What illness had the author?
4. Was he a kind man?
5. How long did their friendship last?

2. Ask questions.

1. Yes/No
2. Who
3. Where
4. or
5. “tag” question

3. Translate:

1. I married early, and was happy to find in my wife a character very much like my own.
2. Our friendship lasted for several years, during which my character (I blush to confess
   it) had changed for the worse.
3. In speaking of his cleverness, my wife, who was a superstitious woman, often mentioned
   the old popular belief, which considered all black cats to be in disguise.
