4 Imagine you have been shipwrecked on a desert island. Think of ways to: build a hut, get food, keep warm.

Daniel Defoe (1660-1731), an English novelist and journalist, is most famous as the author of Robinson Crusoe (1719), a story of a man shipwrecked alone on an island. Among his other works are Moll Flanders (1722), A Journal Of The Plague Year (1722) and Colonel Jack (1722). His last great work of fiction, Roxana, appeared in 1724. Defoe went into politics and trade and travelled all over Europe. In 1684 he married Mary Tuffley; they had two sons and five daughters.

1 June 28. When I woke up after sleeping for almost two days, I felt quite refreshed so I got up and decided to prepare myself for the night ahead. The first thing I did was to fill a large bottle with water, and put it on the table, next to my bed; then I grilled some of the meat on the coals, but I only ate a little bit.

2 I walked about, but was still very weak, and I felt miserable about my sickness. At night I had three of the turtle’s eggs which I roasted in the ashes for supper.

3 After supper I tried to walk, but I felt so weak that I could hardly carry the gun (I never went out without that). So I walked a short distance and sat down on the ground, looking at the smooth and calm sea in front of me. As I sat here, I thought about my life so far.

4 Not feeling sleepy, I decided to go back to my hut and make some medicine from green leaves and rum. I took some and went to bed. I must have been sleeping all the next day and the day after because when I woke up I felt refreshed, lively and cheerful. And when I got up, I was stronger than the day before, and I knew my stomach was better because I felt hungry.

4. Представьте, что вы потерпели кораблекрушение на необитаемом острове. Придумайте, как: построить хижину, добыть еду, согреться.

Ответ:

To build a hut: I would use long sticks and branches to make a frame and cover it with large palm leaves to protect me from the sun and rain. (Чтобы построить хижину: Я бы использовал длинные палки и ветки, чтобы сделать каркас, и накрыл бы его большими пальмовыми листьями, чтобы защититься от солнца и дождя.)

To get food: I would try to fish in the shallow water with a sharp stick. I would also look around for coconuts, bananas, and other edible fruits. (Чтобы добыть еду: Я бы попытался ловить рыбу на мелководье с помощью острой палки. Я бы также поискал кокосы, бананы и другие съедобные фрукты.)

To keep warm: I would gather dry wood and leaves and try to make a fire by rubbing two sticks together. A fire would keep me warm at night and I could use it to cook food and scare away wild animals. (Чтобы согреться: Я бы собрал сухие дрова и листья и попытался развести огонь, потерев две палки друг о друга. Огонь согревал бы меня ночью, и я мог бы использовать его для приготовления пищи и отпугивания диких животных.)
