Lesson 303

clever = smart

2 + 2 = ?
This is a math exercise.

silent = quiet

3) A clever boy

John is ten years old and a smart boy. Most of the students in the class are not very good at math, but John usually answers the teacher's questions very well. Last Tuesday, the teacher said to the class, "Now I'm going to give you a math exercise, I'll ask you a question, then say a name, and the boy or girl has to answer the question. Now there are five euros seventy-three cents in the left pocket and three euros twenty-seven cents in the right pocket. How much is that? Peter? Maria? Helen?" For a long time it was very silent in class. Then the teacher said, "John, what is the answer?" John answered quickly: "These are not my pants!"

Lesson 302

The doctor looks at my heart, head, belly ….
= He examines me.

I eat in a restaurant and then the waiter brings the bill and I pay it.

2) Mr Miller

Mr Müller had been working in an office for twenty years, but then he lost his job because he started doing everything wrong. His wife sent him to the doctor, who asked him a lot of questions for an hour and then told him that there were two different persons in him fighting against each other, that he would send him to the hospital for a week and then examine him again. The doctor gave him a bill for twenty euros. Mr Miller took ten euros out of his pocket, gave them to the doctor, and then said to him, "Get the other half from the other person. I will not pay for him!"

Lesson 301

skinny / thin = not big or fat

He tells me that I make mistakes.
= He criticizes me.

Do you want another hamburger or chicken?
= Do you want anything else?


The collar is red and there is a big hole in the coat.

1) Two shirts

Mr Miller is sixty-five, and his wife sixty-one years old. He is small and thin, and she big and fat. She is not a happy person, always criticizing everyone and everything, and her husband more than anyone else. She always tells neighbours that he's never doing anything right. Last month, she told her husband to look at his shirt because there were two holes in the collar and that she would buy him some new shirts. She went to the shop that afternoon and bought him three new shirts. The next morning, Mr Miller had put on one of them and came into the kitchen. Mrs Miller looked at him and then shouted angrily: "And what about the other two shirts? Don’t you like them?"

3) Wonderflight

Many years ago, Wonderflight was a small, very new company. It had very little money and her planes were very old. Mr Black once flew with Wonderflight. That day he went to the airport, got into the Wonderflight plane and waited. After a few minutes there was a lot of noise, the captain came out and shouted that he would not fly the plane because one of the engines was broken and the company would not get a new one. The passengers got out. An hour later, a flight attendant said that the plane was ready again. The passengers boarded the plane again. "Have you got a new engine?" Mr Black asked the flight attendant. "No, but we have a new captain," she replied.

2) The same cat

Susan and John are twins. They are ten years old, and in the same class at school. A few weeks ago, the English teacher said that she had not given them any homework for a long time and that they should write an essay on "Our Cat" at the weekend. She asked everyone whether they had a cat at home and every child nodded. The pupils wrote the essay and gave it to the teacher the following Monday. She read the essays and then returned them to the pupils on Tuesday. "Susan," she said, "you have the same essay as your brother." "Yes," Susan replied quickly. "It's the same cat, too!"

Lesson 298

1) An old woman

An old woman lived alone in her house because her husband had died. Once she fell down the stairs, injuring her left leg very badly. She called her sister, who came to take her to the doctor by car. The doctor having cleaned the wound bandaged it. He then told the old lady that her leg had to be spared for some time and she was not supposed to walk up and down the stairs for some weeks. The woman visited the doctor every week for about a month, and then he told her that her leg was well again. "That's very good," the old woman said happily. "I hate the daily climbing up and down on the rainwater drainpipe to my bedroom."
