- Miss Honey is a teacher in a small school in R. Dahl’s book Matilda. One day she invited her pupil Matilda to her house. Guess what house she lived in.
- Check if you’ve guessed right (reading for the main idea).
Matilda saw a narrow path to a tiny cottage. The cottage was so small, it looked like a doll’s house. There were two little windows at the front and there was no upstairs to the place. On either side of the path there was long brown grass. A big tree stood near the cottage. Matilda was a bit frightened of this place now. It seemed so unreal and fantastic and so totally away from the earth (далеко от земли). It was like an illustration in Grimm* or Hans Andersen.* It was the house where Hansel and Gretel lived and where Red Riding Hood’s (Красная Шапочка) grandmother lived and it was the house of the Seven Dwarfs (гномы) and the Three Bears. It was straight out of the fairy tale. - Choose the correct answer.

5a.
You can come to the kitchen and help me to make the tea, Miss Honey said, and they went into the kitchen. It was not much bigger than a clothes cupboard and there was one small window in the wall. Near another wall there was a table for preparing food and a shelf above the table. They made tea and Miss Honey said, “Let’s have it in the living room,” and she went to the other room. The room was small and bare as a prison cell. The daylight came from a tiny window in the front wall, but there were no curtains. The only objects in the room were three wooden chairs. That was all. There were no pictures on the walls, no carpet on the floor. Miss Honey put the tray on one of the chairs.
5c. The best illustration is the picture of a very small, poor room with almost no furniture, because the story describes Miss Honey’s house as simple and bare.
5d. Miss Honey was poor, because her house was very small and empty, with almost no furniture and no decorations.
