Text 2. The pictures of n Roerich. (Present Continuous)

1. Read the text and use the verbs in the Present Continuous.

Imagine you are having an excursion in the Novosibirsk Picture Gallery. The guide is telling you about the pictures of the famous artist Nikolay Roerich:

“Look at the picture “Bede, the Preacher”. This is an episode from an old legend about an old blind sage. He ____________(to go) round the world and a little boy __________________ (to accompany) him. Now the boy is tired and he _____________(to sit) on the sand and he says to Bede that a lot of people _________________ (to wait) to hear him. The priest ___________________ (to stand) at the lake’s bank and ____________________ (to preach), the waves ____________________ (to splash) and he thinks that they are the voices of the people who ___________________ (to listen) to him. Look at the mountains. They are not straight but they ________________ (to bend) towards him as if they agree with him. The author’s idea is: if the stones can agree and support something in a chorus, so why should people be meaner than stones?”

2. Translate the following description of the Roerich’s picture using Present Continuous where necessary:

“Эта картина называется “Ведущая” (Leading the way). Вы видите гору, которая символизирует жизненный путь. Женщина идет вверх по горе и ведет (to lead) за собой искателя подвигов. Это поэма о высокой миссии женщины. И она показана в тот момент, когда она восходит (to ascend) и ее духовные силы раскрываются (to reveal). Рерих объясняет, что она ведет за собой странника к сияющим вершинам (radiant peaks) и преодолевает (to overcome) преграды (obstacles), не показывая страха (to show no fear).”
