MY LITTLE
SISTER HAS SCHOOL HOLIDAYS Read part 1 and say: Where was Nancy on Monday and on Tuesday? Part 1 My little
sister liked school, but she liked holidays more than (больше чем) school. On the
first day of our holidays she said to mother and father: "Please
take me to different places every day of the holidays." "Very
well," said my father. On Monday he
took my sister to the zoo. She saw all the animals there. She saw
the big elephants and the funny monkey, the brown bears and the white bears, the tigers and a
big lion. When my little sister came home from the zoo, she talked only about the
animals at the zoo. On Tuesday
mother, my sister and I went to the country. We went to a lake. It was
very beautiful near the lake. There were green trees and red and blue
flowers there. We picked some flowers. Suddenly we saw a big white goose [gu:s]
(гусъ). My little sister was
afraid of the goose. We came home very late. My little sister told our father
about the country, about the lake and the flowers and a big white
goose. 2. Answer the questions: a)
What did Nancy see at the zoo? b)
What did Nancy see in the country? 3. Read part 2 and say: Where was Nancy on Wednesday and on
Thursday? Part 2 On Wednesday Mother took us to the
sea. The day was fine. The sea was blue,
and the sky was blue. We saw many
little boats and two sailboats. We picked up little stones in the water, and we played near
the sea. When we
were going (ехали) home, my little sister slept in the train (в
поезде). On Thursday father took my little sister to the park.
The park was a very good place to play in. Many
children came to the park every day. My sister played
ball and had three rides on a roundabout (три
раза
каталась
на
карусели). There was a big lake
in the park. A boy came with a dog to the lake. The
boy threw a stick into the water, and the dog swam
to it, took it into its mouth [mauO] (pom) and brought it back to the boy.
My sister and my father watched the boy and
the dog. 4. Begin

and on Saturday? Part 3 On Friday my mother took us to the theatre. When we came home, my sister went to our neighbour and told her all about the theatre. Nancy wanted to go to her friend, a shoe-mender (сапожник), and to tell him
about the theatre, too, but my mother said it was too
late. On Saturday we all went to the circus. We liked to see the clowns. They
were so funny. We also liked the monkeys. The monkeys had their dinner. They sat at little tables. They ate with little spoons. They drank milk from a bottle.
We also saw a big elephant. On Sunday my little sister said in
the morning:
"I am ill today." The doctor came
with his bag and gave my sister some
medicine. He also gave her a little bottle
of medicine for her doll. "I
don't play with my doll," said my little sister. "I am a big girl now, and I go to
school." 6. Закончи предложения и расставь их в

the end of the story and say: Did Nancy like her holidays? Part 4 "But now
you have your holidays," said the doctor. "Yes, I have my
holidays. But on Monday I went to the zoo, on Tuesday I went to the country, on
Wednesday
we went to the sea, on Thursday my father and I went to the park, on
Friday I went to the theatre and on Saturday we all were at the circus. I want
to go to different places every day." "This is
very bad," said the doctor. "You must stay at home now and play with
your doll. You must get up early and play with your doll in the garden. You must give her
breakfast and dinner in time and you must put your doll to bed early. You must go to
bed early,
too." So my sister did not go to different places every day. She stayed at
home and played with her doll in the garden. But when her vacation was over
and it was time to go to school, my mother put her doll into the box
again. "Don't put my doll into the box. I shall not take it to
school. I am a big girl now," said Nancy. I shall not tell you any
more stories about my naughty little sister. Now Nancy is a big
girl, and she is not naughty. 8. Answer the question: What did the doctor say to Nancy?
