2. CRITICAL LISTENER
*In the next activity you have to read with the suitable intonation and record
yourself
YOU WILL REMEMBER that in the last part of my story I
told of my experiences in my first school; I spoke of my early
meetings with a boy who looked and behaved as I did — whose
name was even the same as mine: William Wilson. I told of the
night when I went to Wilson’s room, with a plan to hurt him.
What I saw that night so frightened* me that I left the room
and the school forever. As I stood looking down at his sleeping
form and face I might have been looking at myself in a looking glass*.
*What do you think that have in common the lines?
In the most part of the paragraph I saw a falling intonation, as William was telling
us the story. The grammar function was “statement”.

3. WORD COLLECTOR
*Underline the content words in the following paragraph:
At first, with the gambler’s usual skill*, I let him take
money from me. Then my plans were ready. I met him one
night in the room of anotherfriend, Mr. Preston. A group of
eightor ten persons were there. Bymycareful planning I made
it seem that it was chance that started* us playing cards. In
fact, it was Glendinning himself who first spoke of a card
game.
*Translate the following paragraph:
| naʊ hi ˈwɒ ntɪ dtə ˈdʌ ðiəˈmaʊ ntfəwɪ tʃ wi |
pleɪ d | ðɪ swəzəz ˈaɪ hədplænd | bət ˈaɪ ˈmeɪ dɪ tsiˈmðət ˈaɪ |

fɔ ˈ ˈtaɪ mzəz ˈmʌ tʃ ˈmʌ niəzbɪ ˈfɔ ˈ |
-Now he wanted to double the amount for which we
Played, this was as I had planned, but I made it seem that I
did not want to agree. At last I said yes, in an hour he had lost
four times as much money as before.
