перевести текст Victoria at School Victoria goes to Carlton Hill Primary School. The school is about ten or eleven years old. Altogether there are only about 100 children in the whole school. There are four classes with about 25 children in each. Vicky is in an introductory class which means her class has some fouryear-olds and some five-year-olds. W hen Vicky reaches six she will go into another class. There are five desks in Vicky’s classroom. Each has their own colour. There are some pictures on the pegs to hang their coats, so they can easily recognize their own. There are a lot of interesting things on the walls such as Alphabet posters, shapes, numbers, picture cards with words to learn, posters of animals, paintings done by the children. There is a nature table with buds and flowers. All the different kinds of flowers are labelled. There are shelves with books on and a rack covered with books. There is a lovely Wendy House which takes up one comer of the room. It is hand-made out of wood. You can fit about six or seven children in without being cramped together. It is just like a miniature ideal home. Near where all the books are, there is a big carpet with an armchair where Miss Cull, Vicky’s teacher, sits when she reads to them, and when they sing songs, all the children gather round her on the carpet. с переводом Twelve different and special dishes are traditional for this meal which begins only after the first star of the evening appears. The twelve dishes are to remind us of the twelve Apostles. After a day of fasting, in remembrance of the hardships that Mary endured as she and Joseph to Bethlehem, preparations of a spiritual and physical nature set the mood for this Holy Night. Food for the Holy Supper is prepared with no meat or dairy products. Hay is put under the table and the tablecloth as a reminder of the humble place of Christ’s birth. On top of a white or embroidered tablecloth is placed a Kolach, in the middle ofthe table. In the middle of the Kolach a candle is placed, which is left burning all night. A lit candle is also placed in the window to welcome any homeless person. There is always an extra table setting for the souls of the deceased. As dusk approaches, the head of the house brings in a Didukh, a sheaf of grain, and places it near the Icons. As the star appears, the father carries a bowl of Kutja around the home three times, reciting prayers. When all the family is at the table, prayers are recited and the Nativity Tropar is sung, "Boh Predvichny" The first dish of the twelve is always Kuta, the eldest of the famil throws a spoonful of the kutja to the ceiling, the greater the good luck i the following year. The more kernels that stick to the ceiling, the greater the good luck in the following year. After the completion of the twelve dishes, nuts and candies are scattered in the hay under the table for the children to find. Throughout the rest of the evening, Christmas carols are sung by the family. When it is almost midnight, all the members of the family go to the Nativity Mass, a celebration of Christ’s birth. The following day and up to Jordan carolers visit families and friends, starting with the home of the priest, proclaiming the birth of Christ, our Saviour. The Holy days of the Christmas season end on January 20, the feast of St. John, the Baptist. Перевести стихотворение, с рифмой: I’ve watched you now a full half-hour, Self-poised upon that yellow flower; And, little Butterfly! indeed I know not if you sleep or feed. How motionless! – not- frozen seas More motionless! and then What joy awaits you, when the breeze Hath found you out among the trees, And calls you forth again! This plot of orchard-ground is ours; My trees they are, my Sister’s flowers; Here rest your wings when they are weary; Here lodge as in a sanctuary! Come often to us, fear no wrong; Sit near us on the bough! We’ll talk of sunshine and of song, And summer days, when we were young; Sweet childish days, that were as long As twenty days are now.
