On a Desert Island.

1. Bob and Jenny Hall were sailing around the world in their small yacht. One day, while they were crossing the Pacific Ocean, there was a terrible storm and their yacht sank. They could see land and they swam towards it. They found themselves on a beautiful desert island. Here is a page from Jenny's diary.

2. Day 1. This is a lovely island! Blue sea, white sand and palm trees. There are no people, only birds and insects. We found a stream with clean, cold water. We had a drink and washed ourselves in a pool. We made a hut from coconut leaves. Wonderful!

3. Day 2. Bob had a piece of string in his pocket a I had a pin in my shirt, so we made a fishing line. We had a fish for dinner. It was small and, because we could not light a fire, it was not cooked. After the fish we had coconuts.

4. Day 3. There are awful insects on this island! We have to sleep on the ground. We can't sleep during the night because of the insects and we can't sleep during the day because of the noisy birds.

5. Day 4. Coconuts and fish again. We dream about sitting at a big table. What tasty food! There are plates of meat, vegetables, cheese, bread, cakes…

6. Day 5. What an awful place this is! There is nothing to do except swim, sit in the sun, catch fish and pick coconuts. It's so boring.

7. Day 6. At last we saw a ship. We shouted and waved. The sailors saw us and came to the island in a small boat. "This is a fantastic island!" they said. "Why do you want to go home?"

A. Few Things to Do.

Renoir.

Pierre Renoir was a famous French artist. His paintings are very popular today because they show colourful, happy scenes, often in bright sunlight. He liked to show the good things in life because he thought there were many bad things around.

He was born in central France in 1841. His father was a tailor and his mother was a dressmaker. The family was poor. They moved to Paris when Pierre was three. As he grew older he showed a talent for drawing. He started work at the age of thirteen, learning how to decorate plates, cups and dishes. Later he studied at the Paris art school and became an artist.

Renoir liked to paint outdoor scenes of everyday life, for example, children on the beach or a woman at the seaside. A hundred years ago, French children did not swim in the sea. They did not have special clothes for the beach and they usually wore hats and gloves, even in the summer.

Renoir loved family life. He often painted pictures of families. Some of his paintings are of his own children. One of his sons, Jean, was also very artistic. He became a world-famous film director.

Правила построения письма.

Обращение пишется на первой строке, в конце ставится запятая. Традиционно мы обращаемся к другу:

Dear Ann,

Dear Tom,

Если мы пишем человеку, имя которого пока не знаем, можно написать:

Dear friend,

Если вы отвечаете на полученное письмо, в следующем абзаце не забудьте поблагодарить за него друга:

Thank you for your letter.

I was glad to get your letter.

Основную часть письма необходимо разделить на смысловые абзацы. Их может быть 2-3, в зависимости от объёма письма. Обычно сначала (в первом-втором абзаце) отвечают на заданные вам вопросы. Если вы хотите задать другу свои вопросы, выделите их в отдельный абзац.

Будет хорошо, если в заключительной части письма, на отдельной строке, вы выразите надежду на ответ от друга:

Write to me soon.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Письмо завершается прощанием, пожеланием успехов и т.д. и подписью (только имя), которое пишется с новой строки. Это может выглядеть так:

Best wishes, или With love,

Helen Boris
