Ex.7. Read the text about Catherine and write if
the statements below are true (T) or false (F).
Catherine was five
years old. She often went to the shops with her mother. She liked toys very
much, and she often stopped and looked at them in the shops, but her mother
usually said,
« Don’t stop and
look at the toys today, Catherine. It’s late».
Catherine’s mother
did not usually go to the shops on Saturdays, because she always had a lot of
work at home on that day, but last Friday evening her husband said, «Some of my
friends are going to visit us on Sunday», and she didn’t have much food in the
house.
She took Catherine
at 10 o’clock on Saturday morning, and they went to the shops together.
Catherine’s mother said to her, «Stay near me, Catherine, and don’t stop and
look at the toys today».
Catherine said,
«Yes, Mummy, » and she held her mother’s hand. But then her mother had a lot of
parcels, and Catherine stopped holding her hand.
They came to the
best shop in the town. There were quite a lot of men in front of it. There was
a beautiful toy bear in one of the windows, and Catherine stopped for a few
seconds and looked at it. Then she looked for her mother, but she was not
there. There were only men round Catherine, and they were all much taller than
she was.
Catherine was very
young, but she was a clever girl. She did not cry. There was a policeman in the
middle of the street near the shop. Catherine waited at the side of the road
for a minute, and then the policeman stopped the cars and the buses. Catherine
went to him and said, «Good morning. Have you seen any ladies in this street
this morning? »
«Yes, I have», the
policeman said. «A lot of ladies have passed me this morning».
«And has one
passed you without a small girl? » Catherine said.
«Yes, » the policeman
said.
Catherine said happily, «I’m the small girl. Where’s the lady?»
