Before the last war, officers in the navy had a lot more freedom when their ship was in port than they have nowadays. They were expected to lead a busy social life, and to take an active part in sport ashore. It was therefore rather difficult for them to find time to do all their other duties.
Usually, all the officers in a ship used to have a regular meeting together once a week to receive orders from their captain, make reports and discuss any business that had to be discussed, such as who should represent the ship in the next football match.
One such meeting was being held on board a ship one day, and after the regular business had been completed, the time came to discuss the date of the next meeting. Friday of the next week was suggested, and so was Monday of the week after, but both of them interfered with somebody"s arrangements for the weekend, and in the end it was generally agreed that the meeting should be held on Wednesday, as this would be the least likely day to inter fere with anybody"s convenience, since it was right in the middle of the week.
As the officers were leaving, however, one of them was heard to say, "Wednesday is the
worst

The theatre electricians worked very hard to produce this sunset effect. They tried out all kinds of arrangements and combinations of lights-red lights, orange lights, yellow lights, blue lights, lights from above, lights from behind, lights from the front, lights from the sides-but nothing satisfied the poet, until suddenly he saw exactly the effect that he had been dreaming of producing ever since he had written his play.
"That"s it!" he shouted excitedly to the electricians behind the stage. "That"s just right! Keep it exactly like that!"
"I"m sorry, sir," answered the chief electrician, "but we can"t keep it like this."
"Why ever not?" asked the poet angrily.

VIRGINIA

The (7)… permanent English settlers (8)… at Jamestown in 1607, thirteen years before the Mayflower reached the continent.

Gradually, discontent grew over the laws (12)… by the English Parliament without consent of the colonists. On August 1, 1774, the First Virginia Convention met in Williamsburg, without official consent from the Royal Governor. On March 23, 1775, at St. John’s Church in Richmond. Patrick Henry made his eloquent plea for freedom: “Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be (13)… by the chains of slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”
Virginia’s George Washington, as Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army, led the battle for (14)… The struggle (15)… at Yorktown in 1781, when Lord Cornwallis (16)… to Washington in the last battle of the Revolutionary War, and a new nation (17)…

For Barclays or the TSB,
And match my rivals quid for quid.

I’ll do what all those big boys did,
And hit them with a left and right
That no one could foresee …
Actual plan
I thought it was all hunky-dory, (very good)
And I felt a most wonderful glow.
Then they said they were terribly sorry;

221b and Sherlock Holmes
“I have it here in my museum” said Sherlock Holmes in the “Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle.”
The (1)… of the Sherlock Holmes Museum to the public on 27 March 1990 was an event which should have happened several decades earlier. 221b Baker Street is, after all, the world’s (2)… address because of its long (3)… with the great detective.

– You (9)… about Sherlock Holmes and you (10)… one or two films about his exploits (probably the “Hound of the Baskervilles”) yet you know very little about the great detective himself. You are probably visiting out of curiosity.
– You know a great deal about Sherlock Holmes! You’ve read the books, you’ve seen all his films on TV and you are an (11)… of the famous detective. You’d like to visit his rooms to see if they are quite as you imagined
– You are an expert – an absolute authority on Sherlockiana! You can discuss and debate with the best of them, (12)… read and re-read all sixty of the original stories (13)… by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and those written by others you may even (14)… one yourself! You must visit the museum if only to find errors or omissions. You will praise, you will criticize and you will have a lot of fun doing both.
– Whatever category you belong to, you are sure to find a visit to the museum a (15)… experience. Please sign the visitors’ book, take photographs wherever you wish (the maid will be pleased to assist) and when you are ready to leave, you may find yourself (16)… that you could hail a horse-drawn hansom cab to take you home!

Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson (1)… at 221b Baker Street from about 1881–1904. 221b was on the (2)… floor of a (3)… house, Mrs. Hudsom was the landlady. There were 17 steps from the ground floor hallway to the first floor study which Holmes and Watson (4)… Holmes’ bedroom was at the rear, (5)… the study.
We know from Dr. Watson’s descriptions that the study (6)… Baker Street “(7)… by two broad windows” and that it was quite small: on one occasion, Holmes (8)… from his bedroom and (9)… one spring across the study to close the curtains and on another occasion, a man who entered their study was so large he almost filled (10)… “little room”.
There are many other details and illustrations of the rooms in the adventures which first (11)… in the Strand Magazine in 1891 and visitors will recognize these while (12)… around the house.
Doctor Watson’s bedroom was on the (13)… floor next to Mrs. Hudson’s room and it overlooked an open yard at the rear of the house. These rooms (14)… today as exhibit rooms. In Dr. Watson’s room, visitors can browse through literature, paintings, photographs and newspapers of the period while in Mrs. Hudson’s room; the centre stage (15)… by a magnificent bronze bust of Mr. Holmes. Memorabilia from the adventures and a selection of letters written to and from Mr. Holmes are also on display in this room.
The Museum’s interesting and rather quaint souvenir shop (16)… on the (17)… floor where the maids used to live. Here you will find a unique (18)… of gifts, ceramics, objects d’art, figures, busts, prints, books, playing cards, tee-shirts, deerstalkers etc. – all (19)… exclusively to Museum (20)…
Mrs. Hudson’s restaurant on the ground floor offers delicious Victorian cuisine.
Thousands of people all over the world write to Sherlock Holmes, they form clubs and societies in his honour, they celebrate his anniversaries and now at long last they can even visit him.
Such is the stuff of which legends are made!

Пора закрывать все мои ящики!!! Алиске всё интересно!
С Эльвирой на занятии. Штудируем отдельно раздел Лексика и грамматика
Мой быстрый канцелярский набор для оформления тем в ученических тетрадках
Часто беру упражнения и этих книг. Несмотря на то, что написано 7-8 класс, задания там есть нелегкие
Люблю всё то, что делает Музланова. Слева — одно из новых её пособий, включая, кстати, раздел по устной части!
Тренируем грамматический раздел по этим книгам
Очень хорошее пособие! Отлично тренирует по фразовым глаголам, словам похожими по форме или значению, предлогам и т.д
Не упустите такую возможность-приобрести два диска по цене одного! Акция действительна до 7 декабря!!!
