[Tessa]

В клубе всегда девушки красивые! Теряете шанс полюбоваться! Эх, вы!

[Рина З.]

     А нам понравилась одна девушка из вашего английского клуба. Но потом прекрасная незнакомка пропала. Если бы она ходила, мы ходили бы тоже!

Ну, и дураки, что не ходите. Ходили бы, и девушку бы встретили.

[born to be wild]

A woman was having some trouble with her heart, so she
went to see the doctor. He was a new doctor, and did not know
her, so he first asked some questions, and one of them was,
'How old are you?'
'Well,' she answered, 'I don't remember, doctor, but I
will try to think.' She thought for a minute and then said,
'Yes, I remember now, doctor! When I married, I was
eighteen years old, and my husband was thirty. Now my
husband is sixty, I know; and that is twice thirty. So I am
twice eighteen. That is thirty-six, isn't it?'

Where did the woman in this story go?
Why did she go there?
Why did the doctor not know her?
What did he do first?
What was one of his questions?
What did the woman answer?
What did she do then?
What did she say after that?
How old was the woman really?

A young air force officer had a very beautiful wife. Early 
each morning he left his house and went to the airport, and 
an hour later his wife always left the house too, with a big 
white towel, and went for a walk on the beach. 
Her husband always flew over every morning, and when 
she saw his aeroplane, she held the white towel high above 
her head. When her husband saw it, he made either the left 
wing or the right wing of his aeroplane go down. The left 
wing meant, 'I will be busy tonight and won't be home.' 
The right wing meant, 'In eight hours I will be holding you 
in my arms.' 
One morning he flew over with eight other aeroplanes, and 
his left wing went down. Before his wife had time to feel sad 
about this, all the other aeroplanes flew over, and each of 
them turned its right wing down.

Helen's eyes were not very good, so she usually wore glasses.
But when she was seventeen and she began to go out with a young man, 
she never wore her glasses when she was with him. 
When he came to the door to take her out, she took her glasses off,  
and when she came home again and he left, she put them
on. One day her mother said to her, 'But Helen, why do you never wear 
your glasses when you are with Jim? He takes you to 
beautiful places in his car, but you don't see anything.
' 'Well, Mother,' said Helen, 'I look prettier to Jim when I am not wearing
 my glasses- and he looks better to me too!'
