3. Было потешно наблюдать за обедом за маленьким Томми: Он всегда начинал жаловаться, что у него в тарелке больше супа, чем в тарелке его брата. Затем он заявлял, что в приготовленном бабушкой супе слишком много (или недостаточно) соли. Когда это не имело эффекта, он заявлял, что ненавидит щи, или грибной суп, или какой бы то ни было суп вообще. Тщательно выбрав и отложив в сторону морковку из второго, он внезапно обнаруживал, что слишком сыт даже для того, чтобы проглотить горошину. Когда же подходило время десерта, внезапно у него находилось достаточно места даже для второй порции!
4. Процесс изучения иностранного языка несет множество трудностей. Ключевой фактор успеха заключается в том, чтобы побороть лень и заставить себя учить десяток новых слов ежедневно. Встречая незнакомое слово, не упускай возможности найти его в словаре. Бросай вызов неизведанному! Поначалу ты можешь чувствовать смущение и нежелание говорить из-за всех ошибок, что допускаешь. Тебе хочется кричать от отчаяния, что требуется так много времени, чтобы построить грамматически верное предложение или понять значение отрывка. Однако усердная работа окупится, и ты достигнешь беглости речи и получишь хорошие знания языка.
