I like my school a lot. Our teachers are very good. Their lessons are usually interesting. There are large classrooms in the school where our pupils study different subjects. We have a library with many books. I like to go to the library during breaks and read books there. I also like our school gym and our PT lessons. Our PT teacher teaches us to play football, and in winter we learn to ski and skate. But the best thing about our school is that I have a lot of friends here! Most of my friends are my classmates.
Что в твоей школе нравится тебе больше всего?
Мне очень нравится моя школа. Наши учителя очень хорошие. Их уроки обычно интересны. В школе есть большие кабинеты, где ученики изучают разные предметы. У нас есть библиотека с множеством книг. Я люблю ходить в библиотеку на переменах и читать там книги. Мне также нравится наш школьный спортзал и наши уроки физкультуры. Наш учитель физкультуры учит нас играть в футбол, а зимой мы учимся кататься на лыжах и коньках. Но самое лучшее в нашей школе то, что у меня здесь много друзей! Большинство моих друзей - мои одноклассники.
On Saturday morning, Aunt Polly sends Tom out to whitewash the fence. Jim passes by, and Tom tries to get him to do some of the whitewashing in return for a “white alley,” a kind of marble. Jim almost agrees, but Aunt Polly appears and chases him off, leaving Tom alone with his labor. A little while later, Ben Rogers, another boy Tom’s age, walks by. Tom convinces Ben that whitewashing a fence is great pleasure, and after some bargaining, Ben agrees to give Tom his apple in exchange for the privilege of working on the fence. Over the course of the day, every boy who passes ends up staying to whitewash, and each one gives Tom something in exchange. By the time the fence has three coats, Tom has collected a hoard of miscellaneous treasures. Tom muses that all it takes to make someone want something is to make that thing hard to get.
