inspector. He was a round little man with a red face and a box full of
instruments. He smiled at the girl, gave her an apple and began repairing. Margie hoped that he couldn’t repair the
teacher. But it was only a dream! Soon the teacher stood in its place again,
large and black with a big screen on which all the lessons and rules were shown
and the questions were asked. So the girl began to do her home work. She wrote
the date:” Wednesday, the 17th of May, 2157… ” But at that moment

Speaking
1.
Pupils retell
the story “Jane Eyre”, expressing their thoughts.
I
was in the bad mood when I finished reading the story. I was sorry for Jane.
She had no parents and nobody loved her. Jane was alone. It is very difficult.
There are many poor and unhappy children nowadays. I think we must help such
poor children.
While
I was reading the story I was shocked. Children lived and studied in dark cold
rooms. They had no warm clothes and boots. They couldn’t wash their hands and
faces in the morning because the water was ice. The girls were cold and hungry,
because their food was bad. For breakfast, dinner and supper they had a piece
of bread, bad meat and some vegetables. It’s terrible!
As
for me I like the story much. It was very interesting for me to read it. This
story is about the life of orphan. So it is very sad. She was very poor because
in her early years she became alone. Jane’s aunt hated her and sent her to the
school for poor girls. The girl’s life
in Lowood School was awful! I wanted to cry when I
read: “Many of the pupils were ill with typhus. We had had no lessons. Many
pupils went home and died there. Some girls died in the school.” This story is
very sad but nevertheless I would like to read the novel. May be I will read it
in original. It’s my dream.

Dear
Mr. Reed!
Are
you a good mother? I think you are. You love your own children and at the same
time you hate this little girl. But what is this for ? She is the girl of ten,
who didn’t do any harm to you. She has no father and mother. She is alone. Who
will protect her?
Think
about it, please.
Dear Mr. Brockelhurst!
As
far as I know you are an organizer of the school for poor children. So I think
that you are a teacher too. Its strange for me how you could say to a little
child that she was a bad girl because she didn’t like to read the Bible. But
how can a girl of ten understand the Bible? Is it everything clear for you
while you are reading the Bible? I think you are a bad man, and if you are a
teacher you are a bad teacher too. Teachers always love their pupils. They also
try to understand and support, to help and incourage them. To my mind you don’t
like the children.
Dear
Mr. Brocklehurst!
You
are one of the organizers of the school for pool children. It’s good. But how
does it school look like? How can little
girls live and study here? Cold gloomy rooms, bad food and clothes for
children. The girls are always hungry and cold. Your school is like prison.
Shame on you!
Dear
Mrs. Reed!
I
don’t know anything about you but to my mind you are not kind woman. I think
so, because your attitude to Jane is very bad. You don’t like this little girl
and you allow your children to beat her. But she is an orphan!
Be
kinder, please!

Sand and Stone
A story tells that two friends were walking through the desert. During
the journey they had an argument and one friend slapped the other in the face.
The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the
sand: “Today my best friend slapped me in the face”.
They kept on walking until they found
an oasis where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got
stuck in the mire and started drowning but the fiend saved him. After the
friend recovered near drowning, he wrote on a stone: “Today my best friend
saved my life.”
The friend who had slapped and saved
his best friend asked him: “After I hurt you wrote in the sand and now, you
write on a stone, why?”
The other friend replayed: “When
someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can
erase it away. But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it
in stone where no wind can ever erase it.”

“Lord of the Flies.”

the Flies”. What can you tell us?
P3: I
have already read “Free Fall” by William Golding’s. The novel “Lord of Flies”
written by this writer had great popularity and it was published in 1954. It’s
philosophical novel. The island is not real. It symbolizes the whole world. And
the boys on the island are the people of the world. The novel shows us
relations between people.
P4:
Two boys try to be leaders: Ralph and Jack. Ralph symbolizes everyone who tries
to act with common sense: to keep order, to build huts on the beach, to keep a
fire on the mountain top as a signal. Another leader Jack is only interested in
hunting and power.
Teacher: What
is the one of the main idea of the novel?

The novel tells of how nice people can under certain circumstances become
savages very often.

you agree with it?

Mountain Story
A son and his father were walking on the mountains. Suddenly, his son
falls, hurts himself and screams: “AA..!” To his surprise, he hears the voice
repeating, somewhere in the mountain: “AA….” Then he cries “Who are you?” and
receives the answer: “Who are you?”
He looks at his father and asks:
“What’s going on?” The father smiles and answers: “My son, pay attention.”
Again the man screams: “You are a champion.” The voice answers: “You are a
champion.”
The boy is surprised but does not
understand. Then the father explains: “People call this echo, but really it is
life. It gives you back everything you say or do. Our life is simply a
reflection of our actions. If we want more love in the world, create more love
in your heart. If you want more competence in your team, improve your
competence. This relationship applies to everything in all aspects of your
life. Life will give you back everything you have given to it.”
Teacher:
6. Discussion:
1.
Have you ever heard the echo in the
mountains?
2.
Does echo reflect only our feelings
as well?
3.

of our actions?
