6 Imagine you are a student at Dotheboys Hall school. Write a letter to your parents telling them what it is like. Write 100–150 words.

Include this information:

• what the building is like; describe where you sleep and what you usually eat

• what you have to do during the day

• how Mr and Mrs Squeers treat you

• what you want your parents to do

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.'

From Nicholas Nickleby, Oxford Dominoes.

6 Представьте, что вы ученик школы Дотбойс-Холл. Напишите письмо своим родителям, рассказывая им, каково это. Напишите 100-150 слов. Включите эту информацию: как выглядит здание; опишите, где вы спите и что обычно едите, что вы должны делать в течение дня, как мистер и миссис Сквирс с вами обращаются, что вы хотите, чтобы ваши родители сделали.

Ответ:

Dearest Mother and Father,

I am writing to you from Dotheboys Hall. The school is a long and cold building, and it's a very unpleasant place. We get very little to eat, just some cold supper, and I am always hungry. During the day, we don't have lessons; we just do jobs for Mr. Squeers in the school and garden all day. Mr. and Mrs. Squeers are very cruel. They beat us often and seem to love making us suffer. Please, I am begging you, come and take me away from this awful place. I want to come home.

Your loving son.

Перевод:

Дорогие Мама и Папа,

Я пишу вам из Дотбойс-Холла. Школа — это длинное и холодное здание, и это очень неприятное место. Мы получаем очень мало еды, лишь немного холодного ужина, и я всегда голоден. Днем у нас нет уроков; мы просто целый день выполняем работу для мистера Сквирса в школе и саду. Мистер и миссис Сквирс очень жестоки. Они часто нас бьют и, кажется, любят заставлять нас страдать. Пожалуйста, я умоляю вас, приедьте и заберите меня из этого ужасного места. Я хочу домой.

Ваш любящий сын.
