Christmas Presents

When I came downstairs on Christmas morning, I saw that the only presents in my stocking were a stick of deodorant and a “travel dictionary”. I guess (1) ..., grown-ups decide you’re too old for toys or anything that’s actually fun. But they still expect you to be all excited (2) .... Most of my gifts this year were books or clothes. The closest thing to a toy I got was a present from Uncle Charlie.

(3) ..., I didn’t even know what it was supposed to be. It was a big plastic ring with a net. Uncle Charlie explained that it was a “Laundry Hoop”² for my bedroom. He said I was supposed to hang the Laundry Hoop on the back of my door and it would make putting away my dirty clothes “fun”. At first I thought it was a joke, (4) .... So I had to explain to him that I don’t actually DO my own laundry. I told him I just throw my dirty clothes on the floor, and Mom picks them up and takes them downstairs to the laundry room. Then (5) ..., everything comes back to me in nice, neat piles³.

I told Uncle Charlie he should return the Laundry Hoop and give me cash⁴ so I could buy something I could actually USE. That’s when Mom spoke up. She told Uncle Charlie she

thought the Laundry Hoop was a GREAT idea. Then she said that from now on I’d be doing my OWN laundry. So basically, it ends up that Uncle Charlie (6) ....

Решение 2.

2 A. Прочитайте текст и заполните пропуски (1—6) частями предложений (a—g). Одна часть лишняя.

B. Скажите: a) почему Грегори, мальчик, от лица которого ведётся рассказ, недоволен своими подарками и b) почему его мама посчитала, что «Баскетбольное кольцо для белья» — это отличная идея.

Ответ:

A.

1 – d

2 – g

3 – b

4 – a

5 – e

6 – c

B.

a) Gregory is dissatisfied with his gifts because he received practical, "grown-up" gifts like deodorant and a dictionary instead of fun toys. He feels that grown-ups think he's too old for fun things. The gift from his uncle, the "Laundry Hoop," ultimately resulted in him getting a new chore, which is the opposite of a fun present.

Грегори недоволен своими подарками, потому что он получил практичные, «взрослые» подарки, такие как дезодорант и словарь, вместо весёлых игрушек. Он чувствует, что взрослые считают его слишком старым для развлечений. Подарок от дяди, «Баскетбольное кольцо для белья», в конечном итоге привёл к тому, что у него появилась новая обязанность по дому, что является полной противоположностью весёлому подарку.

b) His mother thought the Laundry Hoop was a great idea because it would make her son responsible for his own laundry. It was a clever way to encourage him to clean up his dirty clothes from the floor and to do his own chores from now on.

Его мама посчитала, что «Баскетбольное кольцо для белья» — это отличная идея, потому что это сделает её сына ответственным за свою собственную стирку. Это был хитрый способ побудить его убирать свою грязную одежду с пола и отныне самому выполнять свои обязанности по дому.
