I remember when I1) went on holiday abroad for the first time. I 2) had just left school. I 3) was studying very hard for my final exams and I 4) felt that I needed a holiday. A friend of mine 5) wanted to come as well so we 6) were looking at some brochures from the travel agent's. We 7) had been read for about an hour when my friend 8) found the perfect holiday - two weeks in Hawaii. We 9) were very excited about it. Finally the day of our holiday 10) arrived. We 11) had just left the house when the phone 12) was ringing. I 13) ran back into the house, but the phone 14) had stopped by the time I 15) I reached it. When we 16) arrived at the airport we 17) were sitting in the cafeteria. The airline 18) had just made an announcement. Our flight was delayed for eight hours. We 19) got up very early and rushed to the airport, all for nothing.
Пословицу можно всегда объяснить и буквально, и символически. Так, например, пословица "Не все то золото, что блестит" означает, что не всякий блестящий предмет сделан из золота. Это — буквальный смысл пословицы. Символический ее смысл в том, что иногда то, что снаружи привлекательно, по внутреннему содержанию — совсем не ценно. Иногда видишь красивого, хорошо одетого и привлекательного человека, а узнаешь его по-ближе, он оказывается глупым или злым. А бывает и наоборот. Однажды мама дала мне почитать книгу своего детства — повесть В. Мелентьева «Обыкновеная Мемба», которая не привлекла меня ни своим внешним видом, ни названием. Но когда я начала ее читать, то не могла остановиться.
Пословица "Не все то золото, что блестит" нам сделать правильный выбор в разных жизненных ситуациях, советует обращать внимание не на внешний вид, а на внутреннее содержание человека или предмета.
