Переведите,,без переводчика♥ the girl brought two globes and put them on one of the tables. the tall lady began the lesson of geography with the senior girls. she was the head teacher. her name was miss temple. the other teachers gave lessons to the lower classes. when the clock struck twelve, miss temple stood up. “i have a word to say to the pupils,” she said. “this morning you were given a breakfast which you could not eat. all of you must be hungry. i have ordered a lunch of bread and cheese for you.” the bread and cheese was soon brought in to the great pleasure of the whole school. after lunch we all went to the garden. it was the end of january, and the day was cold and dark. i stood quite alone and looked around at the garden and then at the house. i saw a tablet over the door with the following words: “lowood institution”. i read these words again and again for i did not understand the word “institution”. suddenly i heard a cough behind me. i turned my head and saw a girl who was sitting on a stone bench nearby. she was reading a book. when she raised her head i asked her, “is your book interesting? ” “i like it,” she answered. “what is it about? ” 1 continued. “you may have a look at it,” said the girl and gave me the book. the book seemed dull to me. there were no pictures in it. i gave it back to her and said, “can you tell me what is ‘lowood institution’? ” “it is the house where you live.” “and why is it called ‘institution’? is it different from other schools? ” “it is a charity school. you and i and all the others are charity children. i think you are an orphan. are not either your father or your mother dead? ” “both died when i was a child.” “well, all the girls have lost either their father or their mother, and this is an institution for orphans.” “do you like the teachers? ” “well enough.” “but miss temple is the best, isn’t she? ” “miss temple is very good and very clever. she is above the other teachers because she knows more than they do.” “have you been long here? ” “two years.” “are you an orphan? ” “my mother is dead.” “are you happy here? ” “you ask too many questions. i have given you answers enough for the present. now i want to read.” at that moment the bell rang for dinner, and we returned to the house. after dinner we went to the schoolroom. lessons began, and continued till five o’clock. soon after five we had a small cup of coffee and some brown bread. i ate my bread and drank my coffee with pleasure, but i was still hungry when i finished. we had half an hour for rest, and then we studied again. then we had a glass of water and a piece of oatcake, then prayers and bed. such was my first day at lowood.
