Задание для повышения оценки 8,10 класс:
IF
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream- and not make dreams your master;
If you can think- and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build'em up with wornout tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
Six Serving Men
I have six honest serving men –
They taught me all I knew.
Their names are What and Why and When,
And How and Where and Who.
I send them over land and sea,
I send them East and West;
But after they have worked for me,
I give them all a rest.
I let them rest from nine till five.
For I am busy then,
As well as breakfast, lunch and tea,
For they are hungry men.
But different folk have different views
I know a person small,
She keeps ten million serving men,
Who get no rest at all!
She sends them on her own affairs,
From the second she opens her eyes-
One million Hows, ten million Wheres,
And seven million Whys!
The Star
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you arek
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle all the night.
Then the traveller in the dark
Thanks you for your tiny spark;
He could not see which way to go,
If you didn't twinkle so.
In the dark blue sky you keep,
And even through my curtains peep,
For you never shut your eye
Till the sun is in the sky.
As your bright and tiny spark
Lights the traveller in the dark,
Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
