I enjoy reading books very much and most of all I like the book of Sherlock Holmes stories by Arthur Conan Doyle.

The main characters of the stories are a brilliant detective Sherlock Holmes, who can solve the most complicated cases, and his loyal friend Doctor John Watson. Sherlock Holmes always pays attention to every detail and can expose the craftiest criminals.

My favourite story is entitled “A Scandal in Bohemia”. In this story the King of Bohemia visited Sherlock Holmes under an assumed name. He told Sherlock that some years ago he had had an affair with an opera singer Irene Adler. The King was going to get married to a Scandinavian princess and he was afraid that Irene, who had compromising letters and photographs, could send them to his fiancée’s family. So he wanted Sherlock to get them for him.

Finally, using disguise, Holmes got into Irene’s house and figured out where the photographs were hidden. But when he wanted to get them, the photographs were not in place. There was a letter from Irene and her photograph. She unveiled his plans, but she promised not to use the photographs and letters against the King. So the famous detective was beaten by the clever woman.

Главные герои рассказов – Шерлок Холмс, выдающийся сыщик, который может раскрывать самые сложные дела, и его верный друг доктор Джон Ватсон. Шерлок Холмс всегда обращает внимание на мельчайшие детали и может разоблачить самых коварных и изобретательных преступников.

Мой любимый рассказ называется "Скандал в Богемии". В начале рассказа Шерлока Холмса посетил король Богемии под вымышленным именем. Он рассказал Шерлоку, что несколько лет назад у него был роман с оперной певицей Ирен Адлер. Король собирался жениться на скандинавской принцессе, и он боялся, что Ирен, у которой остались компрометирующие письма и фотографии, может отправить их семье его невесты. Поэтому он попросил Шерлока достать их для него.

В конце концов, используя маскировку, Холмс сумел попасть в дом Ирен и выяснил, где были спрятаны фотографии. Когда Шерлок пришел вновь, чтобы забрать их, фотографий не было на месте – там лежало письмо от Ирен и ее фотография. Она раскрыла планы Холмса, но обещала не использовать фотографии и письма против короля. Так умная женщина превзошла знаменитого сыщика.

Plan for retelling

I. Introduction

I am going (I want, I would like)

To retell a (funny, humorous…) story, a text, a fable, a chapter from the book…, written by a

Famous (popular, well-known) English / American / French / Russian author…

To retell a Russian, English… fairy-tale. Fairy-tale often have no authors, because they were

Written long-long ago by simple folk, and were retold by word of mouth from father to son.

The title of it is …

The title helps me to understand what the text is about (who the main character(s) is (are), the plot, the idea, the message of the text).

II. Main part

• This text is about … (is about how) – try to say it in one sentence.
• The story is set (develops) in the forest, in the street, at school, at home, in a fairy land…
• It takes place in winter, in the evening, at night, during some days…
• In fact there is one main character in the story (there are two … main characters); name them – It is… they are…
• There are also minor characters who help(ed) me to understand the story (the plot, the main idea) better- name the minor characters.
• Then you retell the story, without details. You speak only about important facts and deeds of the main characters:
• After your retelling, you speak about the main characters:

(appearance, age, traits of character with examples)

• As I have understood the author teaches us (the reader)

To find a way out of any difficulty

To be diligent and hard-working

To be attentive at the lessons

To be kind and friendly

To help people in trouble

To always keep your word or promise

To tell the truth

To tell right from wrong

To love our native land

To be helpful to grown-ups (parents, friends, teachers, people in need)

To be tolerant

Not to be idle or lazy

Never to deceive anyone

Not to tell a lie

Never to do harm to nature or animals

Not to pollute (nature, forests, parks…)

Not to throw litter in the street

Not to boast

Not to play jokes on people

Not to laugh at those who are weaker

And so on…

III. Personal Appreciation

I like the story, book, text because

The story is interesting …, instructive…, funny…, true to life… .

ОФОРМЛЕНИЕ ПЕРЕСКАЗА

СЛОВА-ОРГАНИЗАТОРЫ

Сейчас я расскажу, как выполнить замечательный пересказ! Притом, сделать это быстро, кратко и толково.

Структура пересказа английского текста

Давайте сначала разберемся со структурой пересказа. Я считаю, что в каждом пересказе обязательно должны быть 3 части: вводная часть (где Вы кратко рассказываете, о чем этот текст, выражаете свое желание именно пересказать текст, рассказываете, где этот текст был опубликован и кем написан). В основной части Вы пересказываете по предложению из каждого абзаца. Если абзац большой - то по несколько предложений. Высказываем только основную мысль, без воды! В заключении Вы говорите, что автор написал эту статью блистательно, и Вы с ним согласны. Или автор не затронул какой-то темы, и Вам трудно назвать эту статью профессиональной. В общем, идей может быть очень много.

Клише для пересказа английского текста

Конечно, во многих случаях нам помогут клише, которые подошли бы для каждого пересказа.

Можно начать свой английский пересказ с этих слов:

Следующий абзац можно начать так:

In the next passage the author"s attention is focused on...

The examples mentioned in this article illustrate well enough...

Если вся статья посвящена одному вопросу, то можно сказать:

The author remains concentrated on these problems throughout the article.

В заключение можно использовать такие клише:

The author arrives to the following conclusions:

Ну, и в заключение, пишите Ваше мнение о статье:

I can find this article skillfully developed.

Я, как преподаватель, люблю озадачивать своих студентов интерпретацией текстов или фильмов. Для меня, правда, суть - не сам пересказ как таковой (ибо это скучно, хоть и полезно время от времени). Важно то, сможет ли студент выразить свою точку зрения по поводу проблем, поставленных в интерпретируемом тексте, героев и авторской позиции. Структура подобных интерпретаций довольно свободна.

On a hot summer day a fox looks for some water to drink. He was awfully thirsty. He even goes into a farm yard, but the dog sees him and begins to bark. And the fox runs away. At last he finds an old well in the field. When the fox comes up to it, he understands that he cannot get to the water. He tries again and again and at last he falls into the well. The water is not very deep and the fox is glad to drink it. But soon he sees that he cannot get out of the well. Next morning a goat comes up to the well. He sees the fox there and he asks: “Is the water good?” “Oh, yes”- says the fox, “come down my friend, it’s so good that I am drinking it all the time. The goat jumped down and the fox jumps on the goat’s back and in a moment he was outside the well.

Richard Savidge, the English author, lived in London. At this time he was very poor. He wanted to earn a little money, so he wrote a story of his life. But people did not buy many copies of that book. And Savidge was living from hand to mouth. As a result of lack of food he became very ill. His friend sent for a doctor who took care of him. So, Savidge got well again after some time. The doctor sent him a bill for his visits. But poor Savidge had not any money and could not pay it. The doctor waited for another month and sent the bill again. But still no money came. After several weeks he sent it again, asking for his money. At the and he appeared in Saviges’s house and said “You know you owe your life to me, why don’t you want to pay me?” “I agree” - said Savidge, ” that I owe you my life, and to prove that I am not ungrateful for your work, I will give you my life.

An English man who was in France on a shot visit wanted to go back to England. He had only enough money to pay for a ticket. As he knew that the trip would take only two days he decided that he could live without eating for two days. So, he bought a ticket and got on the ship. When dinner time came he was very hungry, but he said to himself that he was not hungry. In the evening he was even more hungry, but when the waiter came to ask him to have supper, he said he was sick and he went to sleep hungry. Next morning the English man felt half dead with hunger. “I shall eat” he said to himself. Even if they throw me into the water. So, when dinner time came, he went to the dining room and ate everything that was on the table before him. When dinner was over he quickly got up and went to his cabin. In the evening when the ship was not far from London he ate his supper and said to the waiter: “Bring me the bill for my meal”. But the waiter said: ”What bill?” “For the dinner and supper” - said the man. “But you’ve paid for your meal when you bought the ticket” - answered the waiter.
