These exercises will help my students to use the information from the text in their own speech sp to develop speaking skill.
At the end of the lesson I will give the pupils home assignment: to prepare the summary of the text.
Cultural Matters

The text simplification
The Match-Maker The grill-room clock struck eleven with the respectful unobtrusiveness of one whose mission in life is to be ignored. When the flight of time should really have rendered abstinence and migration imperative, the lighting apparatus would signal the fact in the usual way. Six minutes later Clovis approached the supper-table, in the blessed expectancy of one who has dined sketchily and long ago. “I’m starving,” he announced, making an effort to sit down gracefully and read the menu at the same time. “So I gathered,” said his host, “from the fact that you were nearly punctual. I ought to have told you that I’m a Food Reformer. I’ve ordered two bowls of bread-and milk and some health biscuits. I hope you don’t mind.” Clovis pretended afterwards that he didn’t go white above the collar-line for the fraction of a second. “All the same,” he said, you ought not to joke about such things. There really are such people. I’ve known people who’ve met them. To think of all the adorable things there are to eat in the world, and then to go through life munching sawdust and being proud of it.” “They are like the Flagellants of the Middle Ages, who went about mortifying themselves.” “They had some excuse,” said Clovis. “They did it to save their immortal souls, didn’t they? You needn’t tell me that a man who doesn’t love oysters and asparagus and good wines, has got a soul, or a stomach, either. He’s simply got the instinct for being unhappy highly developed.” Clovis relapsed for a few golden moments into tender intimacies with a succession of rapidly disappearing oysters.

The Match-Maker The clock struck 11 o’clock but nobody paid attention to it in the bar. The lighting reminds comers the time when the bar was going to close.
In 6 minutes Clovis came up in a hurry to the supper-table. “I’m so hungry”, he said sitting down and reading the menu at the same time. “I see”, said the bar owner, “you are late today. I have something new for your dinner. I’ve ordered two bowls of bread-and milk and some health biscuits. I hope you don’t mind.”
Clovis tried not to give himself.
“You’d better not to joke like that about such things. There are such people who really like such food. I’ve known people who’ve met them. To think of all the wonderful things there are to eat in the world, and then to eat sawdust and being proud of it.” “Remember the Flagellants of the Middle Ages, who mortified themselves that way.” “The had reasons for it”, said Clovis. “They did it to save their immortal souls, didn’t they? Don’t tell me that a man who doesn’t love oysters and good wines, has got a soul, or a stomach. He’s simply got the instinct for being unhappy.”
For a few golden moments Clovis enjoyed a rapid disappearance of oysters. |
