i’d like to tell you about a book by a russian novelist, nikolai gogol. it’s called “the government inspector”. it’s a satirical play. i’ve recently read this book in my literature lessons.
let me tell you a bit about this book. the action takes place in a small provincial town. the main character is khlestakov. he’s a young man who is silly and broke. but he’s a very self-loving man. he tells lies with pleasure. khlestakov has careless a fantasy. he arrives in the town and is mistaken for the government inspector.
as you can imagine, the plot is very interesting and funny. the comedy shows human stupidity and greed. also the problems of society are shown there.
1) I don’t remember (seeing) Mitch at the basketball tournament. Perhaps he was ill. 2) He regrets (arguing) with the referee as it resulted in his being sent off the pitch. 3) The cyclist had to stop (to mend) a flat tyre during the race. 4) If she tried (using) a lighter racquet, her game might improve. 5) I regret (to inform) you that your injury will prevent you from playing any more matches this season. 6) He means (to move) to Glasgow. 7) The surgeon tried (to save) the patient. 8) Did you remember (to tell) Chris to bring his skates with him? We’re going to the ice rink after work. 9) You should stop (smoking) if you want to enter the marathon next year.
