Lesson 101 The sales
The sales began last week.
Mother and Sue went to the shops.
They walked down Oxford Street.
Suddenly, they met Mrs Dumping.
Mrs Dumpling was very excited.
“Oh, Mrs Clark,” she said.
“Look at this beautiful fur coat.
I bought it at the sales for only £5 !”.
“£5!” mother cried.
“It can’t have cost £5.
It must have cost more then that.!”
“It didn’t,” Mrs Dumpling said.
“Look at the price.”
“Where did you buy it?” mother asked.
“In that shop,” Mrs Dumping said and pointed down the street.
“We can’t get in there!” Sue cried.
“It's like a football match!”
Lesson 103 Sandy takes some photos
Sandy has a camera.
Last week he took some photos of Sue and Timmy.
“Stand there please, Sue.
Stand beside her please, Timmy,”
Sandy said.
"Now both smile please. Say, ‘cheese’!”
Sue and Timmy said “cheese” loudly.
“That's the end of the film,” Sandy said.
“I must have it developed and printed.”
Sandy took his film to the chemist’s.
“I want to have it developed and printed please,” he said.
He collected the negatives and prints a few days later.
He showed the photos to Sue.
She looked very pretty.
But Timmy looked funny.
He hasn't any front teeth!
Lesson 105 Television Day: ...four, three, two, one, zero!
TV Commentary:
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, zero! Whoosh! There is a great roar and a rocket starts its journey into space.
Who was the first man to go up into space? Do you know? A Russian, Yuri Gagarin, was the first man who went up. That was on April 4th, 1961. He travelled once round the earth and his journey lasted 108 minutes.
The next man that went up was an American, John Glenn. He went round the earth three times. That was on February 20th, 1962. His journey lasted 4 hours, 56 minutes.
There have been many flights into space since 1961. Since that time astronauts have been to the moon. But we shall always remember the first man who went on this dangerous and exciting journey.
