| Задание № 1 I. Reading I.I Read the article and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D. There was one thing that I found rather strange on my first day as the housekeeper at Monk's House. The bathroom was directly above the kitchen. And when Mrs. Jackson was having her bath before breakfast, I could hear her talking to herself. She was asking questions and giving herself the answers. I thought there must be two or three people up there with her. When Mr. Jackson saw that I looked surprised, he told me that Mrs. Jackson always said the sentences in a loud voice which she had written during the night. She needed to know if they sounded right and the bath was a good place for trying them out. I was not allowed to make coffee at Monk's house. Mr. and Mrs. Jackson were very particular about coffee and always made it themselves. So Mrs. Jackson came into the kitchen at eight o'clock every morning to make it. Then I noticed that she had always been working during the night. There were pencils and paper beside her bed. When she woke up she could work, and sometimes it seemed as though she had had very little sleep. Mrs. Jackson's bedroom was outside the house in the garden. It could be inconvenient to go out in the rain to go to bed. The door of the bedroom faced the garden. When I rang the bell for lunch at one o'clock she was walking down through the garden. She was tall and thin and very graceful. Her face seems particularly beautiful. She wore long skirts - usually blue or brown - in the fashion of the day, and silk jackets of the same colour. Mrs. Jackson wore clothes that suited her well. In the evenings, Mr. and Mrs. Jackson usually sat by the fire. There was one thing in the kitchen that Mrs. Jackson was very good at doing, she could make beautiful bread. |
