Reading - Чтение At School and at Home В школе и дома Part II Tim likes music and he likes television. He likes to look at shop windows with electrical goods on his way back home. Now in the afternoon he is not in a hurry and he has time to stop and have a good look at the TVs and tape recorders. Tim has a little cassette player that runs on batteries. He can carry it with him and listen to music all the time while the batteries are good. Tim takes his cassette player with him when he jogs. When he comes home he always turns on his tape recorder and listens to a cassette. He has tea and does his homework to the sound of music. Mr Baker comes home at half past five. Sometimes he returns later when he works extra hours. In the evening they watch television. Today, there is a TV in every English home. People watch television every day and some people watch it from morning till night. Tim’s grandmother is one of them. She is retired. She has a house of her own but she often comes to stay with her son, Mr Baker, and his family. Notes - Примечания Что видит Тим в витрине? What does he see in the shop window? Аудио-видео техника относится в Англии к electrical goods, то есть к электрическим товарам: tape recorder ['teipri'ko:da] - магнитофон; cassette player [ka'set'pleia] - кассетный магнитофон; VCR ['vi:si:'a:] (video cassette recorder) - видеомагнитофон. Television [4eli,vi3n] - это и телевидение, и телевизор; как правило, слово сокращается до TV [’ti:'vi:]. На дверях магазина будет указано время работы (opening hours). Что-нибудь в этом роде: Open from 9 am to 9 pm. Буковки am ['ei'em] указывают на время от полуночи до полудня. Буковки pm ['pi:'em] указывают на время от полудня до полуночи. Как они расшифровываются? Так и расшифровываются: до и после полудня. Только это сокращение пришло из латыни. Итак, мы поняли: магазин электротоваров открыт с 9 утра до 9 вечера. 152 |
