Act out this piece of prose by analogy with the text “At the Seaside”



When we were teenagers we used to have a lot of fun playing the guitar and singing and dancing in the park. I suppose you liked it too when you were in your teens because it’s really one of the most typical pastimes for youngsters.


TEXT 6 (I / L)

My association with wood started when my father let me play with some of his tools. I loved it so much that he began to show me how to cut, saw and drill bits of wood and create different shapes. These were skills which improved with experience and time and soon I became very good at handling wood. My knowledge and ability developed, until at the age of 16, I decided to become a carpenter.

I was very lucky because my choice of career was clear. For most young people, however, deciding about their future is very difficult. There are many things to consider and many questions to ask about the right type of job, qualifications, skills and earnings. These are questions usually considered by dynamic and ambitious young people who want a position with a high salary and good prospects for promotion. For those who lack skills and qualifications, opportunities moving up the career ladder are rare.

Early school-leavers usually take poorly paid, low-skilled jobs with no real future. They do not realize that without qualifications or skills they will probably stay in the same job with the same status for most of their working lives. It is therefore important for young people to get as much education or vocational training as possible.

saw [s:] – пилить

dynamic [daI:nQmIk]

TEXT 7 (I / L)

Joe Biggs was a butcher. His shop was in a village in one of the most beautiful parts of the south of England, and he worked in it for many years while his father was there. Then, when his father reached the age of 65, he stopped working in the shop, and Joe was alone in it, so he had to work harder.

Joe worked five and a half days a week. His shop shut at one o'clock on Thursdays, and it was shut the whole of Sunday. Saturdays were the busiest days.

Most of Joe's meat came to his shop from the nearest town, but sometimes he got up earlier than usual in the morning and drove into the city to choose meat. It was cheaper there.

Joe had a big refrigerator in his shop, but he tried not to buy too much meat at a time, and to sell it before he bought more.

One Thursday a woman came into the shop at five minutes to one. "I'm sorry I'm late," she said, "but some people have just telephoned to say that they are going to come to dinner tonight, and I need some more meat."

Joe only had one piece of good meat in the shop. He had sold all the others earlier in the day. He took the piece out and said to the woman, "This is £6.50."

"That piece is too small," the woman answered. "Haven't you got anything bigger?"

Joe went into the room behind his shop, opened the refrigerator, put the piece of meat into it, took it out again and shut the door of the refrigerator with a lot of noise. Then he brought the piece of meat back to the woman and said, "This piece is bigger and more expensive. It's £8.75,"

"Good," the woman answered with a smile, "Give me both of them, please."
