Młode kobietki. Angielski A1. Ze słowniczkiem i ćwiczeniami. - ebook

Jak używać tej książki?

Witaj w książce, która pomoże Ci w nauce języka! Dzięki tej książce, będziesz mógł przyjemnie spędzić czas i jednocześnie (prawie, że przypadkiem) rozwinąć swoje umiejętności językowe.

Zdaniem naukowców czytanie tekstu, który rozumiesz tylko w 90-95% pozwala sie nauczyć najwięcej. Ciekawa historia utrzyma Twoją uwagę i zmotywuje Cię do wymyślania samemu znaczeń słów. W razie, gdyby tej motywacji zabrakło - po dotknięciu jakiegokolwiek słowa zobaczysz popup z jego tłumaczeniem. Popup z tłumaczeniem powinien bez problemu działać na czytnikach Kindle, Kobo oraz iBooks. Jeżeli korzystasz z innego czytnika np. Pocketbook spróbuj w ustawieniach zezwolić na pokazywanie przypisów (footnotes) jako popup. Jeżeli popup nie działa na Twoim czytniku, kliknięcie słowa przekieruje Cię do słowniczka na końcu rozdziału. Mniej to wygodne, ale spełnia swoją funkcję.

Na końcu każdego rozdziału znajduje się przycisk przekierowujący do ćwiczeń słówek z tego rozdziału na naszej stronie www.pentecost.pub. Znajdziesz tam fiszki (online oraz do wydrukowania), dopasowywanie znaczeń i wiele innych! Stale staramy się nad tą częścią pracować, więc jeżeli kiedyć wrócisz do tych samych ćwiczeń to być może znajdziesz tam więcej, ciekawszych zadań.

xoxo, Pentecost!

Jo says: "Christmas has no presents." Meg says: "Poor life is bad." Amy says: "Girls have no things." Beth says: "We have family."

Faces get bright. Faces get dark. Jo says: "Father is not here." Meg says: "Mother says no presents." Winter is hard now. We save money.

Jo says: "My dollar helps nothing." I buy a book. Beth says: "I buy new music." Amy says: "I buy pencils." Jo says: "Mother says nothing." We buy what we want.

Meg says: "I teach children all day." Jo says: "My work is hard." Old lady worries me. Beth says: "Washing dishes is bad." My hands get stiff. Amy says: "School girls are mean." They laugh at me.

Jo says: "Say 'libel', not 'label'." Amy says: "I know my words." Use good words. Meg says: "Do not fight, children." We want Papa's money. Beth says: "We are happy now." Meg says: "We work. We have fun." Amy says: "Jo uses bad words."

Jo sits up. Jo whistles now. Amy says: "Do not whistle, Jo." Jo says: "I do it." Amy says: "I hate rude girls." Jo says: "I hate silly girls." Beth sings: "Birds agree now." Voices get soft. Girls laugh.

Meg says: "Girls, you are bad." Jo, be a lady. Jo says: "I am not a lady." I hate being a girl. I want to fight. Beth says: "Poor Jo, it is bad." Be our brother. Meg says: "Amy, you are prim." Your words are bad. Beth asks: "What am I, please?" Meg says: "You are a dear."

Clock strikes six. Beth warms slippers. Mother comes home. Girls are happy. Jo says: "Slippers are old." Marmee needs new ones. Beth says: "I buy her slippers." Amy says: "No, I buy them." Meg says: "I am oldest." Jo says: "I am the man." I buy the slippers.

Beth says: "We all buy her gifts." We get nothing. Jo says: "What do we get?" Girls think now. Meg says: "I give her gloves." Jo says: "I give army shoes." Beth says: "I give handkerchiefs." Amy says: "I give cologne." I buy my pencils. Meg asks: "How do we give gifts?" Jo says: "Put gifts on table." She opens them. Beth says: "I get scared then." You watch me.

Jo says: "Surprise Marmee now." We shop tomorrow. We do Christmas play. Meg says: "I do not act." I am too old. Jo says: "You are best actress." We rehearse tonight. Amy, do fainting scene. Amy says: "I cannot faint well." I fall gracefully. Jo says: "Do it this way." Cry: 'Save me!' Amy does it badly. Jo groans now. Meg laughs now. Beth watches fun. Jo says: "It is no use." Do your best now.

Play goes well now. Characters do their parts. Meg says: "This is our best play." Beth says: "Jo, you write well." You are Shakespeare. Jo says: "I like my play." I want to do Macbeth. I want to kill. Meg says: "That is a fork." Beth is stage-struck. Rehearsal ends now. Girls laugh.

Marmee says: "Girls, you are merry." How are you today? Come kiss me now. Marmee sits down. Girls help her. Meg sets table. Jo brings wood. Beth works now. Amy gives orders.

Marmee says: "I have a treat." Girls smile now. Beth claps hands. Jo says: "A letter for Father!" Marmee says: "Father sends a letter." He is well now. He sends Christmas wishes. Jo says: "Hurry, Amy, eat now." Beth waits for letter. Meg says: "Father is a chaplain." Jo says: "I want to help Father." Amy says: "Tent life is bad." Beth asks: "When does Father come home?" Marmee says: "Not for many months." He does his work. Hear the letter now.

They sit by fire. Marmee reads letter. Letter is cheerful. Father says: "I send my love." I think of you. You must work now. Be good, my girls. Girls cry now. Amy says: "I am selfish." I try to be better. Meg says: "We all try." I work more now. Jo says: "I am a little woman." I do my duty. Beth wipes tears. Beth knits now.

Marmee says: "You play Pilgrim's Progress." You go through house. Jo says: "That was much fun." Meg says: "Bundles fall downstairs." Amy says: "I like cake and milk." I want to play again. Marmee says: "We are not too old." Life is this play. Be good for Father. Amy asks: "Where are our bundles?" Marmee says: "You have your burdens." Beth has no burden. Beth says: "I have burdens." Dishes are my burden. I fear people. Beth's burden is funny. Meg says: "We do this now." It helps us be good. Jo asks: "What about our guide?" Marmee says: "Find guide Christmas morning."

Girls talk new plan. Girls sew for Aunt. They divide seams now. They sing before bed. Beth plays piano. Meg and Marmee sing. Amy sings high. Jo sings bad notes. Marmee sings always.

Jo wakes up first. No stockings hang there. Jo remembers a promise. She gets a book.

Jo wakes Meg. Meg gets a book. Beth and Amy wake. They find their books. All girls read books.

Meg has a sweet nature. She influences her sisters. Jo loves Meg. Jo obeys Meg.

Meg says, “Mother wants us to read. We must begin now. I read my book. It helps my day.”

Meg opens her book. She begins to read. Jo reads with Meg.

Beth says, “Meg is good. We do the same. I help Amy. We understand books.”

Amy says, “My book is blue.”

Rooms are still. Pages turn softly. Winter sun shines in.

Meg asks, “Where is Mother?”

Hannah says, “Mother helps poor. She gives food. She gives clothes.”

Meg says, “Mother comes soon. Fry cakes now. Where is Amy’s cologne?”

Jo says, “Amy took cologne. She puts ribbon on it.”

Beth says, “My handkerchiefs look nice. Hannah washed them. I marked them myself.”

Jo cries, “Beth writes Mother. Not M. March. It is funny.”

Beth says, “Is that not right? Meg’s name is M.M. Marmee uses these.”

Meg says, “It is all right. It is a good idea. Mother likes it.”

Jo cries, “Mother is here. Hide the basket.”

Amy comes in. She looks shy. Sisters wait for her.

Meg asks, “Where have you been? What do you hide?”

Amy says, “Do not laugh. I change the bottle. I give my money. I try not selfish.”

Amy shows a flask. Meg hugs Amy. Jo calls her a trump. Beth gets a rose.

Amy says, “I feel ashamed. I change my gift. My gift is handsome.”

Door bangs loudly. Girls go to table. They want breakfast.

Girls cry, “Merry Christmas, Marmee! Thank you for books. We read them daily.”

Mrs. March says, “Merry Christmas, girls! A poor woman needs help. Children are cold. They have no food. Give them breakfast?”

Girls are hungry. No one speaks. Jo exclaims, “I am glad!”

Beth asks, “May I help? I carry things.”

Amy adds, “I take cream. I take muffins.”

Meg covers buckwheats. She piles bread.

Mrs. March says, “I know you help. You all go with me. We have bread, milk.”

They are ready. They go out. Few people see them.

Room is poor. Windows are broken. No fire is there. Mother is sick. Children are hungry.

Eyes stare. Lips smile. Girls go in.

Woman says, “Good angels come!”

Jo says, “Funny angels.”

Kind spirits work there. Hannah makes a fire. Mrs. March helps mother. Girls feed children.

Children cry, “That is good! Angel children!”

It is a happy breakfast. Girls go away. They feel happy.

Meg says, “We love neighbors. I like this.”

Presents are not grand. Love is in bundles. Flowers are on table.

Jo cries, “Mother comes! Beth plays music. Amy opens door. Cheers for Marmee!”

Beth plays music. Amy opens door. Mrs. March is surprised. She gets her gifts. She wears slippers.

They laugh and kiss. They explain things. All begin work.

Morning takes time. Girls prepare for evening. They make things. Chamber has revels.

No men come. Jo plays male parts. She has boots. Actors play many parts. It is good fun.

Girls sit on bed. Curtains hide things. A bell sounds. Play begins now.

Stage shows a wood. A cave is there. A witch is present. Hugo, the villain, comes. He calls Hagar.

Meg comes out. She is Hagar. Hugo wants potions. Hagar promises them. She calls a spirit.

A spirit gives a bottle. An imp gives a bottle. Hugo takes potions. Hagar curses Hugo. Curtain falls now.

Curtains rise again. A tower is on stage. Zara waits there. Roderigo comes now. He sings to Zara. Zara agrees to fly. Roderigo has a ladder. Zara climbs down. Her dress catches. Tower falls down. Lovers are buried.

A shriek sounds. Don Pedro comes. He pulls Zara out. He banishes Roderigo. Roderigo defies him. Zara defies him. They go to dungeon.

Hagar comes to help. Hugo has poison. He puts it in wine. Hagar changes cups. Hugo drinks poison. He falls and dies. Hagar sings her triumph.

This scene is thrilling. Hugo appears again. He leads Hagar. Her singing is great.

Roderigo wants to die. Zara is true. A song tells him. He gets a key. He runs to save her.

Zara and Don Pedro fight. He wants her in convent. Roderigo comes in. He wants Zara’s hand. Don Pedro says no. He is not rich. A servant brings letter. Hagar gives them wealth. Don Pedro agrees. Lovers get blessing. Curtain falls now.

Applause sounds loudly. The bed shuts up. Girls are trapped. Roderigo and Don Pedro help. All are unhurt. Hannah comes now. She calls for supper.

This is a surprise. Girls see the table. They are amazed. There is ice cream. There is cake. There are flowers.

They stare at table. They stare at Mother. She looks happy.

Amy asks, “Is it fairies?”

Beth says, “Santa Claus.”

Meg says, “Mother did it.”

Jo cries, “Aunt March sent supper!”

Mrs. March replies, “Old Mr. Laurence sent it.”

Meg exclaims, “Mr. Laurence? We do not know him!”

Mrs. March says, “Hannah tells his servant. He is an old man. He knew my father. He sends a note. He wants to give gifts. I cannot refuse. You have a feast.”

Jo says, “The boy does it! He is a good fellow. I want to know him. He looks bashful. Meg does not let me speak.”

A girl asks, “Big house people? My mother knows him. He is proud. He keeps his grandson shut. He studies hard. We invite him. He does not come. He is nice.”

Jo says, “Our cat ran away. He brings her back. We talk over fence. He sees Meg. He walks off. I want to know him. He needs fun.”

Mrs. March says, “I like his manners. He is a gentleman. You can know him. He brings flowers. I would ask him in. He looks wistful.”

Jo laughs, “You do not, Mother! We have another play. He can see it. He can help act. That is jolly.”

Meg examines flowers. She says, “I have no fine bouquet. It is pretty.”

Mrs. March says, “They are lovely. Beth’s roses are sweeter.”

Beth whispers, “I wish I send Father. He has no merry Christmas.”

Meg calls Jo. Jo answers. Meg finds Jo. Jo eats apples. Jo reads book. A rat runs away. Jo waits.

Meg says, "We have an invitation. Mrs. Gardiner wants us. We go to a dance. What do we wear?"

Jo says, "We wear our poplins. We have no other clothes."

Meg says, "I want a silk dress. Mother says I can have one. I wait two years."

Jo says, "Our dresses look good. Yours is new. My dress has a burn. I cannot fix it."

Meg says, "You sit still. Hide your back. I have a new ribbon. Marmee lends her pin. My slippers are good. My gloves are okay."

Jo says, "My gloves are bad. I cannot get new ones. I go without gloves."

Meg says, "You must have gloves. I will not go. Gloves are important. You cannot dance without them."

Jo says, "I stay still. I do not like dancing. I like to move freely."

Meg says, "You cannot ask Mother. Gloves are expensive. You are careless. Mother will not get more. Can you use old ones?"

Jo says, "I hold them crumpled. No one sees stains. We wear one good glove. We carry one bad glove."

Meg says, "Your hands are big. You stretch my glove."

Jo says, "I go without gloves. I do not care."

Meg says, "You can have it. Do not stain it. Behave nicely. Do not stare."

Jo says, "Do not worry. I behave well. Go answer your note. I finish my story."

Meg goes away. Meg looks at dress. Meg sings. Jo finishes story. Jo eats apples. Jo plays with rat.

New Year's Eve comes. Girls get ready. They run and talk. House smells of hair. Meg wants curls. Jo uses hot tongs.

Beth asks, "Do they smoke like that?"

Jo says, "It is dampness drying."

Amy says, "What a strange smell! It is like feathers."

Jo says, "I take off papers. You see ringlets." Jo takes papers off. Hair comes with papers. Jo sees burned hair.

Meg says, "What have you done? I am spoiled. I cannot go. My hair is bad."

Jo says, "You ask me to do it. I spoil everything. I am sorry. Tongs are too hot. I make a mess."

Amy says, "It is not spoiled. Frizzle your hair. Tie your ribbon. It looks like fashion. Many girls do it."

Meg says, "I try to be fine. I wish I let hair alone."

Beth says, "It was smooth. It grows again."

Meg is ready. Family helps Jo. Jo is ready. They look good. Meg wears a snood. Jo wears a collar. They wear one good glove. They carry one bad glove. Meg's shoes hurt. Jo's hairpins hurt.

Mrs. March says, "Have a good time. Do not eat much. Come home at eleven."

Marmee cries, "Girls, girls! Do you have handkerchiefs?"

Jo says, "Yes, we have them. Meg has cologne. Marmee asks about everything."

Meg says, "It is her taste. A lady has neat things."

Meg says, "Do not forget. Hide the burn. Is my sash right? Does my hair look bad?"

Jo says, "I forget things. Remind me with a wink."

Meg says, "Winking is not ladylike. I lift my eyebrows. I nod if you are good. Hold shoulders straight. Take short steps. Do not shake hands."

Jo asks, "How do you learn? I cannot learn. Is music good?"

Girls go downstairs. They feel timid. Mrs. Gardiner greets them. Meg knows Sallie. Jo stands alone. Jo wants to skate. Meg lifts eyebrows. Jo does not move. Jo sees a boy. Jo hides in recess. Jo meets Laurie.

Jo says, "I did not know. Someone is here."

Laurie says, "Do not mind me. Stay if you like."

Jo asks, "Do I disturb you?"

Laurie says, "No, not at all. I come here. I do not know people. I feel strange."

Jo says, "I feel strange too. Do not go away."

Laurie sits down. Jo says, "I see you before. You live near us."

Laurie says, "Next door." Laurie laughs. Jo's manner is funny.

Jo laughs. Jo says, "We have a good time. Your present is nice."

Laurie says, "Grandpa sends it."

Jo asks, "You tell Grandpa?"

Laurie asks, "How is your cat, Miss March?"

Jo says, "Cat is well. I am Jo."

Laurie says, "I am Laurie."

Jo says, "Laurie Laurence. What a name."

Laurie says, "My name is Theodore. I do not like it. Boys call me Dora. I make them say Laurie."

Jo says, "I hate my name. I wish for Jo. How do you stop boys?"

Laurie says, "I hit them."

Jo says, "I cannot hit Aunt March. I bear it."

Laurie asks, "Do you like to dance, Jo?"

Jo says, "I like dancing. I need much room. I make trouble here. I let Meg dance. Do you dance?"

Laurie says, "Sometimes I dance. I live abroad. I do not know things here."

Jo says, "Abroad! Tell me about it. I love travel stories."

Laurie does not know. Jo asks questions. Laurie tells about school. Boys wear no hats. They have boats. They walk in Switzerland.

Jo says, "I wish I was there. Did you go to Paris?"

Laurie says, "We spend last winter there."

Jo asks, "Can you talk French?"

Laurie says, "We speak only French."

Jo says, "Say some French. I read it. I cannot say it."

Laurie says, "Quel nom a cette jeune demoiselle en les pantoufles jolis?"

Jo says, "You do it well. You say, 'Who is lady in slippers?'"

Laurie says, "Oui, mademoiselle."

Jo says, "It is my sister Meg. You know it. Is she pretty?"

Laurie says, "Yes, she looks fresh. She dances like a lady."

Jo feels happy. Jo likes Laurie. They talk much. Laurie feels easy. Jo feels merry. Jo forgets her dress. Jo looks at Laurie. She describes him to girls.

Jo thinks, "He has black hair. He has brown skin. He has big eyes. He is polite. He is jolly. How old is he?"

Jo wants to ask. Laurie looks stern. Jo changes subject. Jo says, "That is a polka. Why do you not dance?"

Laurie says, "You come too."

Jo says, "I cannot. I tell Meg."

Laurie asks, "Because what?"

Jo asks, "You will not tell?"

Laurie says, "Never!"

Jo says, "I stand by fire. I burn my dress. It shows. Meg tells me to sit still. You can laugh."

Laurie does not laugh. Laurie says, "Never mind that. We can dance. A long hall is there. No one sees us. Please come."

Jo thanks Laurie. Jo goes with him. They dance in hall. Laurie dances well. Laurie teaches Jo. They sit on stairs. Meg appears. Meg beckons Jo. Jo finds Meg. Meg holds her foot. Meg looks pale.

Meg says, "I sprain my ankle. My heel turns. It aches much. I cannot stand. I do not know how I go home."

Jo says, "I know shoes hurt. I am sorry. You get a carriage. You stay here."

Meg says, "I cannot have a carriage. It costs much. I cannot get one. No one goes for it."

Jo says, "I will go."

Meg says, "No, you cannot go. It is dark. I cannot stop here. House is full. I rest till Hannah comes."

Jo says, "I ask Laurie. He will go."

Meg says, "No! Do not ask anyone. Get my rubbers. Put slippers away. I cannot dance. Watch for Hannah."

Jo says, "They go to supper. I stay with you. I want to."

Meg says, "No, go get coffee. I am tired."

Meg rests. Jo goes for coffee. Jo finds dining room. Jo gets coffee. Jo spills coffee. Her dress is bad.

Jo says, "Oh, I am clumsy!"

Laurie asks, "Can I help you?" Laurie has a cup. Laurie has ice.

Jo says, "I get coffee for Meg. Someone shakes me. My dress is stained."

Laurie says, "Too bad! I look for someone. May I take this to Meg?"

Jo says, "Thank you! I show you. I do not take it. I make more trouble."

Jo leads the way. Laurie brings coffee. Laurie brings ice. Meg says he is nice. They eat candy. Hannah appears. Meg forgets her foot. Meg rises quickly. Meg holds Jo. Meg feels pain.

Meg says, "Hush! Do not say anything. It is nothing. I turn my foot." Meg limps upstairs.

Hannah scolds. Meg cries. Jo decides to act. Jo asks for carriage. A waiter does not know. Laurie hears Jo. Laurie offers carriage.

Jo says, "It is early. You cannot go now?"

Laurie says, "I always go early. Let me take you. It is my way. It rains."

Jo tells Laurie. Jo accepts help. Jo gets others. Hannah hates rain. They go in carriage. Laurie sits outside. Girls talk freely.

Jo asks, "I have a good time. Do you?"

Meg says, "Yes, till I hurt. Annie likes me. She asks me to stay. She goes to opera. It is splendid."

Jo asks, "You dance with man. Is he nice?"
