Tale When Truth Dawned

Teacher Ryokan was requested by his sister-in-law to come to her house and talk to her son. “He does no work, squanders his father’s money in wild parties and is neglecting the estate,” she complained. The young man knew why his uncle had come, but Ryokan did not say anything.

On the next day, he said, “Will you help me tie the thongs of my sandals? My hands shake and I cannot do it.” His nephew helped him willingly. “Thank you,” said Ryokan. “A man becomes older and feebler day by day. You remember how strong and robust I used to be?” “I do,” said his nephew, thoughtfully. “I do indeed remember how you used to be.”

It was the moment of truth for him. He suddenly realized that his mother and all those who had looked after him had become old and that it was now his turn to look after them and to take on the responsibilities of the household and the community.

a) What sort of creature is this?

b) What do you think is unusual about it?

c) Which parts of its body can you identify?

d) What do you think they use them for?

Exercise1. Read the text.

Armed and dangerous.

The yacht was anchored 200 meters off the Qeensland coast when Chris Slough dived into the water. That’s when it got him. “I felt a couple of little stings on my chest,” he says, “but I thought nothing of it and carried on”. But as soon as he got back on the boat he realized he was in a big trouble. “I suddenly came over very nauseous”, he says. Within minutes he was in agonizing pain, vomiting and struggling to breathe. “It felt like my organs were popping out”.

Chris had been stung by an irukandji, a vicious creature named after an aboriginal tribe whose folklore tells of a terrible illness that struck people who went swimming in the sea. Irukandjis, a species of box jellyfish, grow no bigger than a peanut, yet relative to their size are probably the most toxic creatures on earth, putting many people in hospital each year with “irukandji syndrome”.

Lexical theme: Superstitions

Grammar: Third conditional

Teacher: assistant professor Mangazina Zhanel Rauliyevna

Exercise 1. How lucky are you? Read the following statements and write a number 1-3. 3 = This is usually true about me. 2 = This is sometimes true about me. 1 = This is hardly ever true about me.

Read the questionnaire, mark and discuss your answers 1 I enjoy talking to people I haven't met before. 2 I don't worry or feel anxious about life. 3 I enjoy trying new food and drink. 4 I listen to my instinct. 5 When I need to calm down I just go to a quiet place. 6 I try to learn from my mistakes. 7 I try to get what I want from life. 8 I expect people I meet to be pleasant, friendly, and helpful. 9 I'm an optimist. I look on the bright side of life. 10 When things are bad I think things will get better soon. 11 I don't think about bad luck I have had in the past. 12 I expect good things to happen to me in the future.

Now look at what your scores Your score mean 12-18 You are naturally unlucky and you don't attract good luck. You need a more positive and more adventurous attitude to life. 19-27 You are quite lucky but you could be luckier. Look back at situations where you were lucky or unlucky and analyze why. Try to learn from the past. 28-36 You are probably someone who is lucky. But you could become even luckier. Don't be afraid of taking risks, as they will probably end up being positive for you. Do you agree with the results?

Exercise 2. Match the following words with the definitions and read the story

to till	to walk steadily and rhythmically forward in step with others
a herd	Brought from wildness into a domesticated or tractable state
to tame	One compulsorily enrolled for service, especially in the armed forces; a draftee
to march	A number of wild animals of one species that remain together as a group
conscript	To prepare (land) for the raising of crops, as by plowing and harrowing; cultivate

Good Luck Bad Luck!

There is a Chinese story of a farmer who used an old horse to till his fields. One day, the horse escaped into the hills and when the farmer's neighbors sympathized with the old man over his bad luck, the farmer replied, ‘Bad luck? Good luck? Who knows?’ A week later, the horse returned with a herd of horses from the hills and this time the neighbors congratulated the farmer on his good luck. His reply was, ‘Good luck? Bad luck? Who knows?’

Then, when the farmer's son was attempting to tame one of the wild horses, he fell off its back and broke his leg. Everyone thought this very bad luck.

Some weeks later, the army marched into the village and conscripted every able-bodied youth they found there. When they saw the farmer's son with his broken leg, they let him off. Now was that good luck or bad luck? Who knows?

We are wise when we leave it to God to decide what good fortune is and what misfortune.
