Преобразование вопросительных предложений и предложений в повелительном наклонении из прямой речи в косвенную.

e.g. He asked me, “ Do you know my telephone number? ”

He asked me if I knew his telephone number.

Специальные вопросы вводятся тем же вопросительным словом, с которого начинается прямая речь, порядок слов заменяется порядком слов утвердительного предложения.

e.g. He asked me, “ When will you come to my place? ”

He asked me when I should come to his place.

При преобразовании из прямой речи в косвенную глагола в повелительном наклонении, глагол остаётся в форме инфинитива, глагол to say меняется на to ask.

He sked me to open the window.

Reading practice “Einstein”.

Task 1. Read the text “Little-known facts about well-known people”, translate it and answer the questions.

Little-known facts about well-known people

1. Was Einstein a capable or a backward (умственно отсталый) child?

Albert Einstein is one of the greatest scientists of our age, yet in his childhood he was slow, shy and backward. He found it extremely difficult to learn even to talk.

2. What kind of life did Einstein lead?

Later he became one of the most famous men in the world. The Theory of Relativity brought him fame on five continents. Yet, he led a very simple sort of life, went around in old clothes, and seldom wore a hat. He said that he did not care for fame or riches. The captain of a transatlantic ship once offered Einstein the most expensive rooms on the ship, Einstein refused and said he would rather travel on deck than accept any special favours (привилегия).

3. What brought Einstein more joy than anything else?

Einstein impressed everybody as being a very happy man. He said he was happy because he didn’t want anything from anybody. He didn’t want money ot titles ot praise. He made his own happiness out of such simple things as his work, his violin and his boat. Einstein’s violin brought him more joy than anithing else in life. He said he often thought in music.

4. By what illustration did Einstein explain his Theory of Relativity?

Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, which seemed a flight of imagination (полёт воображения) to many at first, is now the cornerstone of modern physics. Many physical phenomena could never be explained without the Theory of Relativity.

Einstein said that three were only twelve people living who understood his Theory of Relativity, although more than nine hundred books had been written trying to explain it.

He himself explained relativity by this very simple illustration: “ When you sit with a nice girl for an hour, you think it is only a minute; but when you sit on a hot stove for a minute, you think it is an hour. Well, well – so that’s relativity. It sounds all right to me; but if you don’t believe me and would like to try it out (хотели бы проверить), I’ll be glad to sit with the girl if you’ll sit on the stove.”

5. What two rules of conduct did Einstein have?

Mrs. Einstein said that even she didn’t understand the Theory of Relativity; but she understood something that is more important for a wife; she understood her husband.

Mrs. Einstein said that her husband liked order in his thinking, but he didn’t like it in his living. He did whatever he wanted to, whenever he wanted to, he had only two rules of conduct (поведение). The first was: don’t have any rules whatever. And the second was: be independent of the opinions (мнение) of others.
