        T. Listen to the text and be ready to answer the questions

VALUES OF LIFE

        What is life? What do we live for? What are the values of life?  People have been asking these questions since times immemorial and each generation tries to find the keys to them.

        There is an old legend. Long time ago there lived two men. When their children were born they left their families and started wandering with sacks on their backs. While travelling around the world they put small stones into their sacks. A lot of years passed. The men decided to return to their wives and children. They were happy to be again with their families. In the evening, when they opened the sacks, they found out that their stones disappeared. One of them found beautiful flowers in his sack. They were Health, Love, Happiness and Friendship. He gave these flowers to his children and asked to guard them so that they should never leave their family. He told his children that those beautiful flowers were the values of life.

        Another man found spiders and snack in his sack. He had nothing to give to his children. He collected greed, thirst for money and envy.

        It is sometimes the case with us. Some of us find that our values of life are everlasting. Others only at the end of their lives, come to understand that they have cared only for material things and have not thought about the eternal.

  1. a) I have done the task.

b) I did the task.

c) I had did the task.

                 b) He has worked in the garden.

                 c) He worked in the garden.

                 d) He had work in the garden.

             3. a) We had visit London.

                 b) We had visiting London.

                 c) We had visited London.

  2. Now my husband is 60. I know that it is twice thirty. So, I’m twice eighteen. That is thirty-six, isn’t it?
  3. One summer afternoon her bell rang, and when she went out the door, she saw a little boy outside. He was about 7 years old and was holding a bunch of beautiful roses in his hands.
  4. He was a new doctor and didn’t know her, so he first asked some questions and one of them was “How old are you?”
  5. “Or no, you haven’t”, said the boy. There aren’t any in your garden – because they are in my hand.
  6. A woman was having some troubles with her heart, so she went to see the doctor.
  7. “I’m selling roses”, he said. “Do you want any? They are quite cheap. One shilling for a big bunch. They are fresh. I picked them this afternoon”.
  8. “Well”, she answered, I don’t remember, but I’ll try to think”.
  9. She thought for a minute and then said, “Yes, I remember now, doctor. When I married, I was 18 years old and my husband was thirty”.
