5. Прочитайте стихотворение «У Мэри был маленький барашек» и кратко ответьте на вопросы по его содержанию.
Mary had a little lamb
Mary had a little lamb,
With fleece (шерсть) as white as snow,
And everywhere that Mary went,
The lamb was sure to go.
It followed her to school one day,
Which was against the rule.
And made the children laugh and play,
To see a lamb at school.
And so the teacher turned it out,
But still it lingered (медлил) near,
And waited patiently (спокойно) about,
Till Mary did appear.
“What makes the lamb love Mary so?”
The eager (нетерпеливые) children cry.
‘Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know!’
The teacher did reply.
1) What colour was the lamb’s fleece?
2) Was the lamb with Mary everywhere?
3) Did the children laugh and play because the saw a lamb at school?
4) Who were the lamb waiting for when teacher turned it out?
5) Who said: “Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know”?
6) Did Mary love her lamb?
