Упр.5 Unit 7 Reader ГДЗ English Кузовлев 6 класс
Is their conversation pleasant for them? (reading for the main idea)
— Harriet, I’ve got to (= have to) talk to you. I’ve just come back from your school. Miss Elson says that for the last week you haven’t done anything at all. What about it?
— Yes.
— What do you mean? Did you do your work or not?
— No.
— Harriet, these are very unsatisfactory answers. Is something else bothering you?
— No. I don’t think so. I can’t remember.
— Both Miss Elson and Miss Harris say that you do nothing but write something in your notebook. Is that right?
— I haven’t (got) anything to say.
— They say that I must take it away from you or you will never learn anything.
— No.
— What are you learning?
— Everything about everybody.
— History, Geography, French, — all bad. You’re even doing badly in English. I’m afraid that you’ll be able to play with this notebook after school, but not during school hours.
— I’m not playing. Who says I’m playing? I’m WORKING!
— Look, dear, at the moment you are at school, so your work is school. Just like your father works at the office, you work at school. School work is your work. Your work is going to school and learning, and you’re not doing that. Now you can have the notebook only after school.
— I’m learning a lot.
— Yes. Now that’s definite.

Ответ
No, it is not pleasant. Harriet and her mum are arguing, and the conversation is rather tense.
They were talking about Harriet’s school work and her behaviour at school.
“… for the last week you haven’t done anything at all.”
“Is something else bothering you?”
“… you do nothing but write something in your notebook.”
“I haven’t got anything to say.”
“… you will never learn anything.”
“Everything about everybody.”
No, Harriet is not good at school. Miss Elson says that she hasn’t done anything for the last week, and her mum says that she is doing badly in English too.
Harriet is distracted by her notebook. During school hours she writes something in it instead of doing her schoolwork.
Harriet probably makes notes about everything and everybody around her. She writes down her thoughts, observations, and what happens at school.
