Упр.5 Unit 2 ГДЗ English Михеева 10 класс
Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Михеева, Афанасьева 10 класс, Просвещение: 5. Read these funny verses and say what superstitions are mentioned in them. How Brave are You? Would you marry in black instead of white? Cut your nails on a Friday night? Give a witch a lock of your hair? Break a mirror and not even care? Jump up out of the wrong side of bed? Never sing, but whistle instead? Walk under ladders but care not a jot Point at rainbows while shouting, «So what?» Is your favourite number 666? Do you enjoy taking all these risks? Do you lap up dragon’s blood and still feel glad? No, you’re not brave YOU’RE COMPLETELY MAD! Things I Did for Luck I crossed my fingers, Crossed my toes, Crossed my eyebrows Over my nose. I crossed my legs And then my eyes. I crossed my heart And hoped to die. But I crossed TOO MUCH And now I’m stuck. Seems too much crossing Brings bad luck. Lucky Escape I walked backwards up the stairs, I left shirts on the backs of chairs, I counted stars in the sky for a week, I slept with wedding cake under my cheek, I spun knives on the kitchen table. Was it true, or merely a fable? Was it possible to predict Who I’d marry, Who I’d pick? Oh, yes, it was. It worked all right As the clock struck twelve On Midsummer night. For there, in a bucket of water Smiling back at me Was the face of my own true love My future husband-to-be. I was so delighted. Truly overjoyed, Because now I know what he looks like, I’ll know who to avoid! Unhappy Ending You can walk under ladders. What’s wrong with that? You can see any number Of jet black cats. You can break a million mirrors And I won’t shed a tear. It’s all just stuff and nonsense, Simply groundless fears. No, you’re wrong And how do I know that it’s not superstitious fuss? I know because I’ve just been Run over by a bus. *Цитирирование части задания со ссылкой на учебник производится исключительно в учебных целях для лучшего понимания разбора решения задания.
