Pocket English - Английский на каждый день: 23 июня 2013


Анекдоты

Last summer, my husband, Bill, took me camping for the first time. At every opportunity, he passed along outdoor-survival lore. One day we got lost hiking in the deep woods. Bill tried the usual tactics to determine direction – moss on the trees (there was no moss), direction of the sun (it was an overcast day). Just as I was beginning to panic, he spotted a small cabin off in the distance. Bill pulled out his binoculars, studied the cabin, turned and led us right back to our camp. “That was terrific,” I said. “How did you do it?” “Simple,” he replied. “In this part of the country all TV satellite dishes point south.”

Слова для запоминания:

hike - гулять, ходить пешком
moss - мох
overcast - пасмурный
satellite - спутник

A father noticed that his son was spending way too much time playing computer games. In an effort to motivate the boy into focusing more attention on his school work, the father said, "When Abe Lincoln was your age, he was studying books by the light of the fireplace. " The son replied, "When Abe Lincoln was your age, he was The President of The United States."

notice - замечать, обращать внимание
