Past Simple.




Postcards always spoil my holidays. Last summer i am went to Italy. I am visited museums and sat in public gardens. A friendly waiter teached me a few words of Italian. Then he lent me a book. I am read a few lines, but not understood a word. Every day I am thought about postcards. My holidays passed quickly, but I am not to sent any cards to my friends. On the last day I am made a big decision. I am got up early and bought thirty-seven cards. I spent the whole day in my room, but I am not to wrote a single card!

Meet the Priestleys

This is Mr. Priestley, the teacher. He teaches English and knows English, French, and German, and he speaks and reads and writes these languages very well.

He is not a young man, but he is not old. He is about forty-four or forty-five years old. He is a good-looking man, handsome, rather thin, with dark-brown hair just beginning to grey. He is always well-dressed, but quietly, in good taste. He usually wears suits of dark brown, dark blue or dark grey.

He speaks quietly and pleasantly, but there is strength under his quietness, and every student in his class knows this. He is quiet and pleasant because he is strong. Strength is generally quiet, weakness often is not.

He reads a great many books, and writes books for his students.

Mrs. Priestley knows all about the house; she does the work in it every day, and today she will tell you about it. Mrs. Priestley is a pleasant-looking woman of about forty, with warm brown hair and soft dark-brown eyes. She is kind and gentle, but she manages her house (and, in her quiet way, her husband) very well. He is, of course, a clever man, but a little unpractical, and he needs Mrs. Priestley to look after him. Mrs. Priestley, on the other hand, is very practical and full of common sense¹.

The Priestleys have two children, John and Margaret. John is eighteen, six foot tall, and a fine manly fellow. He is at the university and is studying to be a doctor. He is a clever, hard-working, a first-class footballer, boxer, and runner. He is strong both in body and in character, and quiet and thoughtful like his father. He will make a good doctor.

Margaret is only eleven. She is a lovely little girl with golden hair and dark blue eyes and a spirit that is always bright and happy, full of joy and gaiety. She isnt fond of study of any kind, but she loves music and dancing and she sings very prettily. She is like a ray of sunshine in the house. Mr. Priestley is very fond of his son John and very proud of him; and Margaret is the apple of his eye². Mrs. Priestley is speaking:

The house is rather big, and there is a lot of work in it, so I cant do everything alone. I have Susan and Lizzie to help me with work.

Lizzie is our cook, and she is a very good cook, but she is no good at all at housework. Now, Susan is very good at housework, but she cant cook at all - she cant even boil an egg.

But that is all right, for Lizzie gets on with her cooking, and Susan and I do the housework and, believe me, we all work very hard.

Susan and Lizzie get up at a quarter to seven, and make the fires and open the windows. I get up at half past seven, and so does my husband, in time for breakfast at eight oclock. We have breakfast in the breakfast-room. I like to begin the day well, so our breakfast is always a good one. My husband reads his newspaper and smokes a cigarette with last cup of tea, before he begins his work at nine oclock.

Then Lizzie and Susan begin to clean the house, wash up, make the beds, and get the vegetables ready for lunch. We have lunch at one oclock.

After that I do some sewing, or go out for a walk, or go to see people.

We have afternoon tea about five oclock, but for that we dont go into the dining room. We go to sitting-room and Susan brings in the tea with plates of bread and butter and small cakes.

After tea we sit and talk or listen to the wireless or read. Sometimes we go to the cinema or to the theatre. About seven or eight oclock I generally go to bed, but my husband likes to sit up late and read or write in his study. Well, that is all for present. I will tell you more about the house some other time.
