a lot = very m uch

Try to read and guess the meaning of these words:

English people usually have two or three nam es, they have

surname and first (or Christian) nam e: Bill Johnson, H elen Smith Bill is a first (C hristian) name Jo h n so n is a surnam e Helen is

a first (C hristian) nam e Sm ith is a surnam e

12

Some surnam es are words for colours: Black,

Brown, White or Green Some are the nam es of

jobs: Baker or Butcher.

Look at these surnam es: Johnson, Peterson,

Richardson, Stevenson They all end with the word

“so n ” That is: the son of John or J o h n ’s son —

Johnson, the son of P eter or P e te r’s son — P e te r­

son

Children take their father’s surnam e and wives

usually take their h u sb a n d s’ nam es

M any first (C hristian) nam es come from the

Bible: Adam, Mary, Peter, Paul

M any girls’ nam es come from flowers: Rose,

Violet.

As you see nam es can tell you a lot.

Let’s have a talk.

1 How many nam es do English people usually have?

2 W hat are they?

3 Christian is the first nam e, isn ’t it?

4 L et’s take the nam e Helen Sm ith W hat is the Christian nam e

and what is the surnam e?

5 Some surnam es are words for colours Which of them do you

know?

6 Som e surnam es are the nam es of jobs Find som e in the text

7 Can you find in the text som e nam es th at end with the word

“so n ” ?

8 W hose surnam e do children usually take?

9 W hose surnam e do wives usually take?

10 Som e Christian nam es come from the Bible, don’t they? Find

th em in the text

11 Do many girls’ nam es come from flowers? Do you rem em ber

any?

12 Now you know som ething about English nam es And what

about Russian ['гл/п] nam es?

13 How m any nam es do Russian people have?

14 As English nam es som e Russian nam es are also the nam es

of colours, jobs, flowers C an you nam e some?

Read Test yourself and see if you know how to tell the time.

Children, look at this! Do you know w hat it is? Yes, it’s a

clock The clock is nice and big, isn ’t it? It is Big Ben Big Ben

is in London I like this clock and you? I think you do, too

So you know th at this is a clock But do you know that a

clock has a face?

Not only does the clock have a face — it also has hands! The

clock has two hands: the little hand and the big hand The little

hand points to the hours — it’s an hour hand The big hand

points to the m inutes — it’s a minute hand

The face of the clock has num bers, too Do you know how

many num bers the clock has? It has twelve num bers: 1 (one),

2 (two), 3 (three), 4 (four), 5 (five), 6 (six), 7 (seven), 8 (eight),

9 (nine), 10 (ten), 11 (eleven), 12 (twelve)

The clock tells us the time Do you know how the clock does

it? Look at the clock The hour hand is on n um ber three The

m inute hand is on n um ber twelve So the clock says: “It’s three

o’clock.” T h at’s how the clock tells us the time

Now look at these little clocks W hat do they say? W h at’s the

time?

Draw or make a clock and say what you can about it.
