Exercise 129. Listen and read Kipling’s poem.

I keep six honest serving-men

(They taught me all I knew);

Their names are What and Why and When

And How and Where and Who.

I send them over land and sea,

I send them east and west;

But after they have worked for me,

I give them all a rest.

I let them rest from nine till five,

For I am busy then,

As well as breakfast, lunch, and tea,

For they are hungry men.

But different folk have different views.

I know a person small —

She keeps ten million serving-men,

Who get no rest at all!

She sends 'em abroad on her own affairs,

From the second she opens her eyes—

One million Hows, two million Wheres,

And seven million Whys!

Exercise 135. Listen to the dialogue and say what Alice and Brett are going to do. Choose the right answer.

Hello, Brett! Nice to see you! How are you?

Hi, Alice! I’m fine. Nice to see you, too! How are you going to spend your holidays? Why are you looking so sad? What’s wrong?

It’s awful … My best friend, Christie, is ill. She has to stay in bed and be a couch potato! I’m so unhappy about it. I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to spend all day at home watching TV or playing computer games.

It’s a pity, but it’s not a big problem. Come to the cinema with me and my classmates.

Oh, yes, that would be great, thank you. What film are you going to watch?

It’s an adventure film. It’s called The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe! Have you heard of it?

Yes, I read the book recently. It was very interesting!

Hurry up, then! We mustn’t be late!

Exercise 143. Listen to the dialogue between Alice and Brett. Say why Alice is unhappy. Choose the right answer.

Hello, Brett! Nice to see you! How are you?

Hi, Alice! I’m fine. Nice to see you, too! Why are you looking so unhappy? What’s wrong this time?

Today in my Maths lesson I got a bad mark in my Maths test. 

It’s a pity, but it’s not a big problem. 

Oh, no. You don’t understand. Yesterday, Mum asked me if I was getting ready to do the test. I said everything was fine. But I didn’t do my homework. I played my favourite computer game, you know, it was so amazing!  

Oh, I see! That’s really bad! You are really wasting your time playing computer games. I think you should tell your mum the truth and promise that you’ll never lie again.

Oh, it’s so difficult! But, you are right I must do it.

Begin with your homework and get a good mark as soon as possible.

Thank you very much, Brett. You’ve really helped me.
