5 Discuss the questions with a partner. Compare your ideas with the rest of the class.

1 How do you think the boys at the school feel?

2 What do you think will happen to Smike?

1 In the evening of the second day, they arrived in Yorkshire. There was snow everywhere, and in front of them was a long, low building with dark windows. It looked cold and unpleasant. This was the school - Dotheboys Hall.

Inside Mrs Squeers was waiting for them. She looked at Nicholas coldly, then turned to her husband.

'How is my Squeery?' she said.

'Very well, my love,' replied Squeers. 'How are the cows and the other animals?'

'Very well.'

'And the boys?' asked Squeers.

'Oh, they're well, too,' replied Mrs Squeers quickly in a hard voice.

After that, they talked about parents who paid their debts to the school and parents who couldn't pay. Then Mrs Squeers put a cold supper on the table for her husband - and for Nicholas. Squeers ate and drank a lot: Nicholas had only a little. Then they all went to bed.

2 If Nicholas's first night at Dotheboys Hall was bad, the next day was worse. He soon saw that Mr and Mrs Squeers loved making the boys there suffer. Squeers beat them hard and often. He read their letters from home himself, telling them that their parents didn't love them and didn't want them back. The boys had no real lessons, but did jobs for Squeers in the school and its garden all day.

They were especially cruel to one boy - Smike. He was taller and older than the other boys at the school - perhaps 18 or 19. His clothes were old and too small for him and he looked ill.

At the end of his first day, Nicholas found Smike working in the kitchen. He saw in the boy's eyes that he was afraid.

'Don't be afraid of me,' said Nicholas kindly.

'Oh, my poor heart will break, living here,' Smike cried.

'No, it won't. There's always hope.'

'Not for me,' replied Smike. 'I've got no family or friends.'

Как, по-вашему, чувствуют себя мальчики в школе?

Как вы думаете, что случится со Смайком?

Ответ:

1 I think the boys at the school feel very unhappy, scared, and hopeless. The text says they are beaten, lied to about their families, and forced to work instead of learn. They are probably also hungry, since Nicholas only got a little supper. Smike says his heart will break, which shows how miserable he is. / Я думаю, что мальчики в школе чувствуют себя очень несчастными, напуганными и безнадежными. В тексте говорится, что их бьют, обманывают насчет их семей и заставляют работать вместо учебы. Вероятно, они также голодны, поскольку Николас получил лишь немного еды на ужин. Смайк говорит, что его сердце разобьется, и это показывает, насколько он несчастен.

2 I think Nicholas will become friends with Smike. Nicholas is kind to him, and Smike has no friends. Maybe Nicholas will protect Smike from Mr. and Mrs. Squeers, or he will give him hope. Perhaps they will even try to run away from the terrible school together. / Я думаю, что Николас подружится со Смайком. Николас добр к нему, а у Смайка нет друзей. Может быть, Николас защитит Смайка от мистера и миссис Сквирс или подарит ему надежду. Возможно, они даже попытаются вместе сбежать из этой ужасной школы.
