Someone knocked on Harry’s front door. When Harry opened it he found a salesman with two large, heavy looking suitcases. “Good afternoon,” said the salesman, “I have the world’s most sophisticated (технически сложный) watch on offer at a special price.” Harry watched the salesman demonstrate the new watch. It could function as a radio, a television, a portable phone and a fax machine. When Harry heard that the watch cost only 50 pounds, he bought it immediately. The salesman gave Harry the watch and walked away, leaving the suitcases with Harry.

“Hey, you’ve forgotten your cases,” shouted Harry.

“Those aren’t suitcases,” replied the salesman, “they’re batteries for your watch.”

Saturday Night Thoughts

It might seem hard to believe but I’m having trouble with my jeep. There’s something wrong with the engine, besides, the windows don’t go up and down.

Nobody has been able to fix the jeep so far. I’ve taken the car to the mechanic, somewhere far away from my house. The mechanic charged me a lot of money, but the engine doesn’t start in the morning all the same.

I don’t need anyone else’s help. It’s Sunday tomorrow. I usually do nothing on Sundays, but tomorrow I’m going to make a special effort. Why pay someone to do a simple job when it costs you nothing to do it yourself? If anyone, say, Mark, comes round after lunch, we’ll work on the car together. Next Sunday I’ll help him paint his garage.

Tasks.

a)Which of these statements reflects best Walter’s views on car servicing?

1.There isn’t anybody in town to give him a hand.

2.God helps those who help themselves.

3.If anyone needs advice, they always turn to Mark for help.

4.Walter thinks he knows everything about car engines.

5.Four eyes see more than two.

6.Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.

b)Answer the following questions.

1.Is there anything wrong with Walter’s jeep? Ask “What?”

2.Has anybody tried to fix it? Ask “Where?”

3.Whose help does Walter reject? Ask “Why?”

4.Does he refuse to pay anyone? Ask “Why?”

5.Will anyone take part in Walter’s project? Ask “Who?”
