A Day in the Life of Simon Carrot
Task I: read & comprehend the following story.
First of all, I must tell you about myself. I am thirteen and I am in the third class at a Grammar school in Manchester
What a terrible day! I woke up late and didn’t have time to eat my breakfast. I couldn’t find my books or my school cap. At last I found my books in the bathroom; and at last, I found my cap — my dog was playing with it! I was nearly late for school.
The first lesson on Monday morning is maths. What a terrible way to start the week! Mr Green, the maths teacher, took our homework. He saw that my exercise - book was dirty. He was very angry and gave me a bad mark for it.
Then he gave us some tasks to do. I sat next to Jane, who was fat and not very pleasant — but very good at maths. I asked her to tell me the answers, but she didn`t want.
The next lesson was French. I like French. It’s nice to be able to talk to somebody in another language.
At last, it was eleven o’clock: time for break. Nell gave me a piece of cake to eat with my milk. She also gave me her Latin homework to copy. I think she likes me and she’s a nice girl.
After break, we had two lessons of Latin! They are bad: I hate Latin!
Mr Williams punished me for talking to Nell.
