ДОРОГИЕ ДРУЗЬЯ! Вы держите в руках книгу, которая, хочется надеяться, будет полезна каждому из вас. Эта книга рассчитана на детей от 6 до 11 лет и состоит из нескольких разделов. В первом разделе представлены разнообразные стихи. Второй раздел посвящён загадкам. Здесь ребятам можно предложить не только разгадать загадки, но и, по аналогии, придумать свои собственные. Деятельность такого рода позволяет расширить словарный запас, легко, без зубрёжки, запомнить грамматические правила. Следующий раздел — скороговорки. Скороговорка по-английски называется tongue twister - тот, кто крутит язык. И это, действительно, настоящая зарядка для языка. При изучении иностранного языка скороговорки помогают преодолеть трудности произношения и отработать фонетику. Затем следует раздел, посвящённый пословицам и поговоркам. Они помогают ближе познакомиться со страной изучаемого языка, понять, насколько мы похожи или, наоборот, какие мы разные. Последний раздел содержит лексические игры, кроссворды, чайнворды и другие упражнения, которые позволяют ребятам в лёгкой, игровой форме запомнить новые слова или повторить уже изученные, отработать технику чтения, развить логику, внимание, воображение и другие важные учебные умения и навыки. Книга будет полезна всем ребятам, изучающим английский язык, — и для закрепления знаний, полученных в школе, и для подготовки домашних заданий. Родителям, даже никогда не изучавшим английский язык, книга позволяет оказать своим детям посильную помощь, особенно в заданиях, связанных с культурой страны изучаемого языка. Хочется надеяться, что эта книга доставит вам много приятных эмоций и весёлых минут!

Я. Kipling

I keep six honest serving-men (They taught me all I knew); Their names are What and Why and When And How and Where and Who. I send them over land and sea, I send them East and West; But after they have worked for me, I give them all a rest, I let them rest from nine till five, For I am busy then, As well as breakfast, lunch, and tea, For they are hungry men. But different folk hold different views I know a person small — She keeps ten million serving-men. Who get no rest at all! She sends them abroad on her own affairs, From the second she opens her eyes — One million Hows, two million Wheres, And seven million Whys.

Перевод

Р. Киплинг В. Певчева

Шесть верных слуг есть у меня, Они не подведут. О чём бы ни спросил их я На всё ответ дадут. Они являются всегда По зову моему. Их имена — Что, Где, Когда Кто, Как и Почему. Мне каждый услужить готов Хоть шлю их в дальний путь Когда устанут от трудов, Даю им отдохнуть. Но моя дочка с юных ле Им спуску не даёт, Лишь только сядут за об Она их снова шлёт На Запад, на Восток, на Юг В таёжные леса. Она зовёт на помощь слуг, Едва открыв глаза. Бегут, поев иль натощак, В пургу, и в зной, и в тьму Семь тысяч Где, сто тысяч Мильоны Почему.
