based on p.33-34, ex.6 Read the paragraphs and put them in the logical order My name is Anna and now I am living in Paris, which is a beautiful city. We moved here half a year ago. I go to a French school and have to learn French. I find it very difficult. And we usually have a lot of homework to do each day. History and geography teachers tell us to learn texts by heart and to write essays, we also do grammar exercises and all that in a language which I still don't understand. After school one day I was supposed to do my homework, but it was already above me. I felt terrible because I was tired, and the French language was so naturally slipping my mind. I was really tired of trying. Suddenly mama came and looked at my exercise book. It was maths. There was only one word on the page — "Problems," nothing more. "I am absolutely not surprised that you have problems with your homework," mama said. "You put it off until you're too tired. You'll never learn anything if you work like that.". That was exactly what I felt and I began crying. "I do try," I cried, "but I'm not able to learn French!" "Of course you can do it," said mama. "Look, if I help you…" But I shouted, "No." Mama smiled and said, "Well, I don't think you'll be able to do any homework today. I have to buy some fish for supper. Come with me and get some fresh air." The street was narrow, and we were walking along, silently. I was thinking about my bad luck at school. Mum was quiet too. Suddenly there was a cake shop next to the fish shop. "We'll go in here," mama said to my surprise. "I'll have a cup of tea and you can have a cake; then we'll have a talk." "Isn't it too expensive?" I asked. "We can buy one cake," mama said. The tables were little and cosy, and we chose one in the corner and sat down. "Look," said mama. "I know it's difficult for you and I know you're tired. But what can we do? We're living in France and you have to learn French." "I get so tired," I said, "and I'm getting worse instead of getting better. I think I'm just one of those people who can't learn languages." "That's nonsense, Anna," mama said. "You are definitely not. I'll tell you what we'll do. It's only two months till Christmas. Will you try just once more? If you feel you still can't manage by Christmas, we'll do something about it. I don't quite know what, but I promise you I'll think of something. All right?" "Fine, I… I will try to," I said. We stayed for a while longer because it was such a pleasant place to be. "Nice to go out to tea with my daughter," said mama at last and smiled. I smiled back. The bill came and we understood there was not enough money left for fish, but it did not matter. After this the work did not seem quite so bad.
