Assignment 7

I.

word	meaning	context	example
to get on the wrong side of smb (p. 132)	To be or become displeasing to someone; to do something that provokes someone's anger, contempt, or dismissal.	Harry and Ron managed to get on the wrong side of him on their very first morning.	I wouldn’t recommend you to get on the wrong side of the professors while the first lessons, that’s just silly.
to rescue (p. 132)	to save someone from a dangerous or unpleasant situation	He wouldn’t believe they were lost, was sure they were trying to break into it on purpose, and was threatening to lock them in the dungeons when they were rescued by Professor Quirrell, who was passing.	For some reason, girls think the bad ones just need to be rescued, and that’s when it all goes wrong.
a talking-to (p. 133)	a sharp reprimand in which someone is told that they have done wrong	Strict and clever, she gave them a talking-to the moment they sat down in her first class.	The parents gave Ezra a talking-to about solving problems with words, not fists.
to warn (p. 134)	to advise someone not to do something that could cause danger or trouble	You have been warned.	I warn you not to tell anyone about the childish dearest ambition of yours.
to favor smb (p. 135)	to act unfairly by treating one person better than another	They say he always favors them — we’ll be able to see if it’s true.	I am simply a human, of course I favour one of my children over the others; you can’t blame me for it, can you?
a gift of doing smth (p. 137)	To be talented or skilled at doing some specific thing.	Snape had the gift of keeping a class silent without effort.	Rachel really has a gift of drawing—have you seen her latest piece?
to push it/one's luck (p. 139)	to try too hard to get a particular result and risk losing what you have achieved	“Don’t push it,” he muttered, “I’ve heard Snape can turn very nasty.”	She's agreed to help on Saturday, but I think I'd be pushing my luck if I asked her to be here the whole weekend.

V.

1) Ron is simply a boy knowing no magic, and Harry is the same, yet his fame doesn’t let him feel ordinary. What also makes him stand out is that he has neither brothers at school nor anyone writing to him from home; Snape is tiring him out. The staircases, pictures and ghosts are strange, there’s so much to learn. A great deal of new and hard.

2) Professor Quirrell saved them when they were about to get punished by the caretaker. Professor Sprout (Herbology) tells about plants and fungi. The boring professor Binns died and still went on to teach. Professor Flitwick, the Charms teacher, is very impressionable, he is obviously very surprised to see Harry. Professor McGonagall is very strict and very experienced. Snape (the potions master) had the gift of keeping a class silent without effort; he is quite cold and speaks creepy.

3) Snape called Harry a ‘celebrity’ in a strange voice, asked him difficult questions a student who had not learned the books by heart before entering would not answer. He blames Harry for what he could not possibly do, taking the points off Gryffindor.

4) ‘Complex’ means difficult but, unlike ‘complicated,’ in such a way that all the difficult parts of the problem are connected. ‘Subtle’ means full of complex undertones whereas ‘exact’ is completely correct in every detail.

5) Had Hagrid collected that package just in time? Where was it now? And did Hagrid know something about Snape that he didn’t want to tell Harry?

VI.

1) “I mean it!” (p. 129) – the person saying this is absolutely serious.

2) "Tut, tut." (p. 137) - a sound you make when you do not approve of something.
