Travelling

I have always loved to travell. In my childhood and in my boyhood I loved to wander among the woods and hills around my home. But when I grew older my native land seemed too small for me. I wanted to see the wide, wide world, to sail the seas as my father and grandfather had done. Our family always loved the sea and it was natural that I loved it too. My mother went to sea with my father on his long voyages, and spent the greater part of her life on the water.

When I was quite a baby, my father bought a small cottage in a fishing village on the coast of England. My parents were growing old and they decided to spend the remaining days of their lives on the shores of the sea which they loved so much.

At the age of ten I began to show the roving spirit. I wanted to travell, but my parents did not let me go to sea, for I was too young.

I used to wander along the shore, or on the beach and watch the waves as they broke against the cliffs. I worried my father so much that at last he allowed me to take work on a ship, and I became a ship-boy on a coaster which sailed near the shores of my native land. We visited different sea­ports and learned many useful things.

My name is Ralph and my shipmates added to this the name of Rover, because I was so fond of travelling.

5. Пояснення граматичного матеріалу: “Означений та неозначений артиклі”.

Артикль – спеціальне службове слово, яке стоїть безпосередньо перед іменником. Якщо перед іменником є означення, то артикль ставиться перед означуючим словом (an interesting book).

В англійський мові є два артиклі – неозначений та означений. Походження обох артиклів – займенники. Неозначений артикль походить від слова “один” (one), тому вживається перед іменниками тільки в однині. Означений артикль походить від вказівного займенника “этот” (that).

Неозначений артикль показує на належність предмета до певного класу однорідних предметів. (This is a table). Перед незлічуваними іменниками та неозначеними іменниками у множині артикль не вживається.

An article – articles

Imagination

Tea, snow, grass, chalk.

Означений артикль вживається з іменниками в однині й множині в тих випадках, коли зрозуміло, про який предмет або особу йде мова. Іменник з означеним артиклем означає конкретний предмет, виділений з класу однорідних предметів.

Означений артикль вживається також перед іменником, якому передує:

• порядковий числівник: the first lesson;

• прикметник у найвищому ступені: the most popular entertainment;

• перед певними географічними назвами: the Atlantic Ocean, the Volga, the Crimea.
