From Emma, Oxford Dominoes. Retold by Barbara Mackay.

1 'Poor Emma,' said her father. 'She misses Miss Taylor very much.'

'Of course Emma misses her friend,' said Mr Knightley, 'but I'm sure she is happy that Miss Taylor has married.'

'Yes, I am,' said Emma smiling. 'And don't forget that they married because of me. I decided it four years ago when you all said that Mr Weston didn't want to marry again.'

'Oh, dear,' said Mr Woodhouse. 'Please don't matchmake any more, Emma. Things always happen as you say they will.'

'But, Papa, I love matchmaking,' replied Emma, laughing.

'Mr Weston married Miss Taylor because he loves her and she loves him, not because he met her through you,' said Mr Knightley, shaking his head.

'But, Mr Knightley,' she said. 'I knew how they felt before they knew it themselves. That is the secret of a good matchmaker!'

2 Emma sometimes asked a group of her father's friends to spend the evening at Hartfield. On one of these evenings Emma felt very excited. A young woman of seventeen was coming to the party. She had no friends or family but she was very beautiful. Her name was Harriet Smith.

Emma was interested in Harriet and they spent the evening talking. Harriet was not very clever, but she was friendly, kind, and had beautiful blue eyes. When Harriet and her father's friends left, Emma made a plan. She wanted to teach Harriet, to be her friend, and to introduce her to the important people in Highbury.

Emma started to spend a lot of time with Harriet and she soon knew all about her. Harriet told her about her friends, the Martins. She often stayed with them on their farm, and she liked Mr Robert Martin very much.

One day while the young women were out walking, they met Mr Martin. Emma saw at once that Harriet liked him a lot, and she was very unhappy about it. A farmer was not the right husband for beautiful Harriet! Emma decided to be Harriet's matchmaker.

Emma soon thought of the right person for Harriet. It was Mr Elton – a handsome young clergyman with a comfortable home who needed a wife. Emma started work at once. She spoke to Harriet about Mr Elton and to Mr Elton about Harriet, and planned lots of ways for them to meet.

Mr Elton started to visit Hartfield often, and Emma was sure that her plan was working well.

6. Напишите отчет об Эмме и ее характере. Напишите 100-150 слов. Включите следующую информацию:

• Кто она, где живет, кто ее друзья.
• Что она любит делать.
• Положительные черты ее характера и их примеры.
• Возможные отрицательные черты ее характера и их примеры.
• Что вы думаете об Эмме и хотели бы вы с ней дружить.

Ответ:

Emma is a young woman who lives at Hartfield. Her friends include Mr. Knightley and her new friend, Harriet Smith. Her main hobby is matchmaking. She believes she successfully arranged the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Weston and is now trying to find a husband for Harriet.

A positive side to Emma is her friendliness and desire to help. For example, she befriends Harriet, who is lonely, and wants to introduce her to important people in Highbury.

However, Emma can be meddling and snobbish. She dismisses Harriet's feelings for Mr. Martin simply because he is a farmer, which she considers an unsuitable match. She is overconfident in her matchmaking skills, ignoring Mr. Knightley's advice.

I think Emma could be a fun friend, but she is also too controlling. I would not like it if a friend tried to choose a husband for me. I might be her friend, but I would want her to respect my own choices.

(Перевод на русский язык)

Эмма — молодая женщина, живущая в Хартфилде. Среди ее друзей — мистер Найтли и ее новая подруга, Гарриет Смит. Ее главное хобби — сводничество. Она верит, что успешно устроила брак мистера и миссис Уэстон, и теперь пытается найти мужа для Гарриет.

Положительная сторона Эммы — ее дружелюбие и желание помогать. Например, она становится подругой одинокой Гарриет и хочет представить ее важным людям в Хайбери.

Однако Эмма может быть навязчивой и снобистской. Она отвергает чувства Гарриет к мистеру Мартину просто потому, что он фермер, которого она считает неподходящей партией. Она слишком самоуверенна в своих своднических способностях, игнорируя советы мистера Найтли.

Я думаю, Эмма могла бы быть веселой подругой, но она также слишком любит все контролировать. Мне бы не понравилось, если бы подруга пыталась выбрать для меня мужа. Возможно, я бы и дружила с ней, но я бы хотела, чтобы она уважала мой собственный выбор.
