Speaker A. I try to care about our planet. Some people argue that it’s impossible for an individual to affect major changes, but I disagree as there’re many things everyone can do to help our planet. Let’s start with our homes. Encouraging your family to recycle regularly is a good thing to start with. Every glass bottle you recycle saves enough energy to run a TV for an hour, while recycling an aluminum can saves enough energy to run a TV for three hours! It’s not difficult to turn out the lights when you leave a room or use re-useable containers for your lunches.
Speaker В. My name is Walton and I’m from the USA. I’m personally concerned about our environment pollution. I try to protect the environment, to preserve it and leave it clean and undamaged for the next generations who are at risk of not being able to leave their homes due to the high city pollution. Yet now, in my native city (Boston) the smog has increased to such a threatening level that my family and I had to move, because the air was harmful to the health of my 4-year-old son.
Speaker С. In my country, England, there is hardly a part of it that is within its natural state. The typical English countryside, the hills and fields, have all been shaped by generations of cultivation. In fact, taking the planet as a whole there is hardly a part of it that humans have not changed. I fear that by our pollution humans are changing the places where they do not live and where they live. Deserts are becoming hotter, arctic ice is melting and wherever you look you can see the ugly footprint of humanity.
Speaker D. Of course we should care more about our planet water supplies. When you use water wisely, you help the environment. You save water for fish and animals. You help preserve drinking water supplies as well. You save the energy that your water supplier uses to move water to you and the energy your family uses to heat your water. When you use water wisely, you save money as your family pays for the water you use. So if kids start learning to use water wisely today, they will be helping themselves in the future.
Speaker E. My name is Susan and I’m 17 years old. I think the earth is the home we all live in but many people simply don’t care. I get depressed by all those warnings that we hear daily, acid rain, global warming and on and on. It is likely that there will always be some people who litter in towns and in the country, despite fines and knowledge of the environmental consequences. You cannot influence the way other people care for our planet and that makes me very sad.
Speaker F. I suggest we should use all resources in the most efficient way possible. A green home will be a good solution here as it helps to conserve energy as well as water. Waste and pollution will be decreased too. A green home protects the environment by using renewable solar energy. Solar panels on the roof of a home collect sunlight, which is then converted into power to heat the home and run the home equipment. So a green home will save energy as well as money in addition to having other health benefits.

| 2 | The longest on Earth |
| 3 | Safe travel |
| 4 | Designing a building |
| 5 | Invented by accident |
| 6 | Comfortable living |
| 7 | How did they do it? |
| 8 | Why seasons change |
| A | Most of Africa’s rural peoples use natural resources that are locally available for their homes. In grasslands, people typically use grass to cover the walls and roofs. In forested areas, they use hardwoods as well as bamboo and raffia palm. Earth and clay are also major resources used in construction. In areas with few natural resources, people often live as nomads, moving from place to place. Instead of making permanent homes, they usually use simple shelters or tents made of animal skins and woven hair. |
| B | An architect must consider how a structure will be used and by whom. An apartment building, a palace, a hospital, a museum, an airport, and a sports arena all have different construction requirements. Another factor is the ideas the structure should communicate. For example, some buildings are made to impress people with a display of power and wealth; others – to make everyone feel welcome. Other things to consider are the location and surrounding environment, including weather, and the cost of materials. |
| C | Did you know that an eleven-year-old child first created the Popsicle? The boy’s name was Frank Epperson. In 1905, Frank left a mixture of water and powdered soda out on his porch by mistake. It also contained a stir stick. That night, fortunately for Frank, the temperatures fell to a record low. As a result, he discovered the substance had frozen to the stick, and a frozen fruit flavoured ice treat was created. He decided to call it the epsicle, which was later patented by him and named as Popsicle. |
| D | As Earth goes around the sun, the North Pole points to the same direction in space. For about six months every year, the North Pole is tilted towards the sun. During this time, the Northern Hemisphere gets more direct sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere and more hours of daylight. During the other six months, the North Pole is tilted away from the sun. When the Northern Hemisphere gets the most sunlight, it experiences spring and summer. At the same time, the Southern Hemisphere gets autumn and winter. |
| E | In southern Peru, there is an isolated plateau where the wind almost never blows. Here, around the year 400 to 650 AD, the people of the Nazca culture created the famous Nazca lines, by removing the red stones covering the ground so that the white earth beneath was visible. These Nazca lines are actually portraits of animals such as monkeys, birds or fish. It is a mystery how such a primitive civilization could create such artwork with precision when they had no means of viewing their work from the air. |
| F | Antarctica, which is the southernmost and fifth largest continent, does not have twenty-four-hour periods divided into days and nights. In the South Pole, the sun rises on about September 21 and moves in a circular path until it sets on about March 22. This “day”, or summer, is six months long. During this period, if the weather conditions are good, the sun can be seen twenty-four hours a day. From March 22 until September 21, the South Pole is dark, and Antarctica has its “night”, or winter. |
| G | Any ship that hits an iceberg can be damaged. The most famous iceberg in history sank the “Titanic”, a ship travelling in the northern Atlantic Ocean, on April 15, 1912. The ship’s side scraped the iceberg, which tore holes in the hull. Within three hours, the ship was at the bottom of the ocean. After the loss of the “Titanic”, several nations worked together to establish the International Ice Patrol. Today the U.S. Coast Guard runs the patrol, which warns ships about icebergs floating in Atlantic shipping routes. |

For almost 125 years, the secrecy surrounding the recipe for Coca-Cola has been one of the world’s great marketing tricks. As the story goes, the fizzy drink’s famous ‘7X’ formula has remained unchanged since it was developed in 1886. Today, the recipe is entrusted only to two Coke executives, neither of whom can travel on the same plane for fear the secret would go down with them.
Now, one of America’s most celebrated radio broadcasters claims to have discovered the Coke secret. Ira Glass, presenter of the public radio institution This American Life, says he has tracked down a copy of the recipe, the original of which is still supposedly held in a burglar-proof vault at the Sun Trust Bank in Atlanta, Georgia.
The formula was created by John Pemberton, an Atlanta chemist and former Confederate army officer who crafted cough medicines in his spare time. In 1887, he sold the recipe to a businessman, Asa Griggs, who immediately placed it for safekeeping in the Georgia Trust Bank.
Glass came across a recipe that he believes is the secret formula in a back issue of Pemberton’s local paper, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, while he was researching an entirely different story. Tucked away on an inside page of the 8 February 1979 edition, he stumbled on an article that claimed to have uncovered the closely guarded 7X formula.
The column was based on information found in an old leather-bound notebook that belonged to Pemberton’s best friend and fellow Atlanta chemist, RR Evans. Glass was intrigued and, after some digging, found that the notebook had been handed down over generations until it reached a chemist in Georgia called Everett Beal, whose widow still possesses it.
The rediscovered recipe includes extract of coca leaves, caffeine, plenty of sugar (it specifies 30 unidentified units thought to be pounds), lime juice, vanilla and caramel. Into that syrup, the all-important 7X ingredients are added: alcohol and six oils – orange, lemon, nutmeg, coriander, neroli and cinnamon. The formula is very similar to the recipe worked out by Mark Pendergrast who wrote a history of the drink in 1993 called For God, Country & Coca-Cola.
Coke’s secret recipe is, in fact, partly a myth. The soda has changed substantially over time. Cocaine, a legal stimulant in Pemberton’s day, was removed from the drink in 1904 after mounting public unease about the drug. Extract of coca leaves is still used but only after the cocaine has been removed.
In 1980, the company replaced sugar, squeezed from beet and cane, with the cheaper corn sweetener that is often found in American food and drink. Coke fans were not impressed.
Despite such occasional controversies, one element has remained constant: Coke’s commitment to keeping its own secret. Speculation about the recipe has been a popular talking point for more than a century, proving good for business. The company has reacted to the This American Life story in a way that has been typical of its commercial strategy since the 19th century. “Many third parties have tried to crack our secret formula. Try as they might, they’ve been unsuccessful,” Coca-Cola’s Kerry Tressler said.

Let’s start with our homes. Encouraging your family to recycle regularly is a good thing to start with. Every glass bottle you recycle saves enough energy to run a TV for an hour, while recycling an aluminum can saves enough energy to run a TV for three hours!

Task 2.1. A-2, B-1, C-2, D-2, E-3, F-3, G- 2
A. The client is going to London this week. — А неверно
Слышим I need to fly to London next Monday and I’d like to make reservations for a round trip ticket. Выражение next Monday — маячок, что высказывание А неверно, ведь в нем говорится про this week.
B. The client has chosen an evening flight.- В верно
Слышим I’d rather leave at 9 p.m. — очевидно, что высказывание В верно, несмотря на дальнейшие слова I have to get to London early in the morning, as early as possible, которые легко могут сбить с толку.
C. The client is flying to London for sightseeing.- С неверно
Слышим It’s a business trip, you know, выходит, что цель поездки — бизнес, а высказывание С неверно. В конце записи прозвучит I might want to see some sights or spend the night at the theater, фраза see some sights — ловушка, герой диалога предполагает, что ему захочется это сделать, но не уверен, поэтому использует модальный глагол might. В данном случае, see some sights — лишь возможный вариант досуга героя, но точно не причина его поездки.
D. The ticket price seems okay for the client.- D неверно
Предложение с подвохом! Сначала, мы узнаем, что цена оказалась выше ожиданий мужчины ($440 вместо $400), потом слышим его негодование That’s ridiculous! It’s too much! После убеждений продавца он произносит Okaaay, if I don’t have any other choices… Слово okay звучит, но означает ли это, что цена для него действительно okay? Нет, мы слышим его недовольство в обеих фразах, значит высказывание D неверно.
E. It’s the shortest possible flight to London.- Not Stated.
На вопрос What’s the flying time? мы слышим только 6 hours и больше ничего. Информации о том, как долго длятся другие рейсы, нет. Получается, что у нас недостаточно данных, чтобы подтвердить или опровергнуть высказывание, выбираем ответ Not Stated.
F. The client dislikes London airports except for Heathrow.
Мужчина действительно задает вопрос про аэропорт What’s the destination airport? и слышит в ответ, что прилетает в Heathrow, как раз, как в нашем высказывании. Дальше он явно радуется этому факту That’s good news! I don’t expect a lot of traffic jams on my way then, and you can always rent a decent car there. Даже если слова decent, rent, traffic jams не известны, не трудно понять, что говорящему аэропорт Heathrow пришелся по душе. Но в нашем высказывании он должен dislike все остальные аэропорты в городе. Он что-то говорит про них? Правильно, нет. Мы, конечно, можем решить, что раз он так обрадовался этому аэропорту, значит остальные ему скорее всего не нравятся, но это будет лишь нашей догадкой, опираться в выборе ответа на догадки нельзя. Высказывание F — Not Stated.
G. The final ticket price is lower than the original one.- G неверно.
В конце разговора покупатель не может определиться с датой обратного вылета и просит оставить open date на билете, на что получает ответ but it will make the price jump, то есть цена «подпрыгнет» или увеличится. Мы уже знаем, что мужчина ранее был недоволен ценой, может он что-то предпримет? Подобная логика опять приведет нас к догадкам, поэтому важно не пытаться угадать ответ, а внимательно слушать текст. Мы получаем ответ Well, I don’t mind it, значит цена остается конечной, а это выше изначальной цены. Выходит, что высказывание G неверно
Task 3-9.1.
Callum: Hello, I’m Callum Robinson and this is Entertainment. Our topic today is films and film festivals. You may have heard of the Venice Film Festival and the Cannes Film Festival, glorious occasions with A-list celebrities from the movie world turning out to promote their latest projects. A festival you might not know is the Portobello Film Festival which is currently taking place in Portobello, an area of West London. It’s had its own independent film festival for a number of years and to learn more about it I’ve invited the festival’s director Jonathan Barnett. So, Jonathan, could you tell us about when and how the festival started.
Jonathan Barnett: Well, it started in 1996 because even back in those days there were people making very low budget films often using video equipment and there wasn’t really anywhere for them to show their films so we thought it would be nice to provide a platform for these filmmakers. We had the mad idea at the time of showing every film that was submitted and we also decided not to charge because I suppose at heart we weren’t rabid capitalists.
Callum: So the festival started as a way of giving unknown filmmakers somewhere to show their films. As Jonathan said, to give them a platform. Then I’ve got a question. How many films are being shown and how do you manage to pay for it, for running the festival, I mean?
Jonathan Barnett: This year we’re showing 700 films. The money comes in from funding mostly, we get money from people and organizations like Film London and the Arts Council and we also get different kinds of support from sponsors. So we don’t have to pay for advertising, we don’t have to pay for launch parties, we don’t have to pay for prizes.
Callum: Over the first three weeks of August 700 films are being shown as part of the Portobello Film Festival. What kind of films can be seen? Are they just short student films or does the festival attract big names as well? Here’s the festival’s director Jonathan Barnett.
Jonathan Barnett: The actual films we’re showing are a lot better than anything you’ll see on TV or on multiplexes and it’s everything from student films and we also get stuff from top filmmakers like, for instance, John Malkovich. So I think because we’re a festival that has a reputation for a certain amount of integrity and also being a little bit out on a limb we attract the big names as well as people who are just starting out. The first year of the festival we had Guy Ritchie’s first film which was called the “Hard Case”, which was fantastic, it’s exactly the same as Lock Stock and Snatch but he was kind of formulating his ideas and it was a short film.
Callum: As far as I know, the Portobello Film Festival runs until the 21st of August as well as films there are other arts events, a variety of fantastic concerts, exhibitions and presentations. You want the festival to be more than just for film, don’t you?
Jonathan Barnett: Yes, what we want it to be is, we want it to be a bit like a kind of cross between Glastonbury festival and Edinburgh festival, but for free and set in Portobello Road.
Callum: We also hope it would become a big arts festival — amazing, unforgettable and a good start for young talents!
That’s all from Entertainment this week.
A festival you might not know is the Portobello Film Festival which is currently taking place in Portobello, an area of West London.
Перед прослушиванием дается 50 секунд на то, чтобы успеть прочитать задание. На этом этапе многие делают распространенную ошибку — начинают пытаться угадать правильный ответ, исходя из своих знаний, опыта или просто логики. Не нужно так делать! Догадка может сильно подвести, а наша задача — определить ответ по содержанию текста.
Читаем задание и выделяем в вопросах и ответах key words. Некоторые преподаватели советуют читать только вопросы без ответов к ним, но лично мне всегда казалось, что куда надежней прочитать все сразу, чтобы было легче ориентироваться в тексте. Однако, если вы медленно читаете или вдруг переволновались и замешкались и потеряли драгоценное время, то читайте в первую очередь вопросы. Если пока вы читаете вопросы, вдруг началось аудирование, и вы не успели все прочитать, то нужно перестать читать и внимательно слушать запись. Весь порядок информации в задании соответствует порядку в тексте, поэтому в процессе слушания вы сможете дойти до последних непрочитанных заданий. Выделяем ключевые слова как и в предыдущих заданиях, смотрим чем отличаются ответы друг от друга. Вспоминаем возможные синонимы. Поищем key words в нашем примере:
Слышим: “You may have heard of the Venice film festival and the Cannes film festival. Glorious occasions with glorious A-list celebrities from the movie world turning out to promote their latest projects. A festival you might not know is the Portobello Film Festival, which is currently taking place in Portobello, an area of West London. It’s had its own independent film festival for a number of years. And to learn more about it, I’ve invited the festival’s director… Could you tell us when and how the festival started?”
Фраза “It’s had its own independent film festival for a number of years” отсекает ответ 3) is running its second season only. Первые два ответа откликаются в предложениях: “Glorious occasions with glorious A-list celebrities” и “A festival you might not know is the Portobello Film Festival”. Первое предложение подтверждает, что celebrities есть первых двух фестивалях, но не опровергает, что на Portobello Festival их нет. Второе предложение с “you might not know” подтверждает, что фестиваль действительно “not so fashionable and well-known”. Значит, правильный ответ — 2) not so fashionable and well-known. Далее в тексте упоминаются John Malkovich и Guy Ritchie, и говорится о том, что они оба известные и участвуют/участвовали в фестивале. Это еще раз подтверждает, что ответ 1) does not attract celebrities неверный.
Типичные ошибки:
1)Предугадывание ответа. Нельзя опираться на собственные догадки и опыт, слушаем текст и ищем подтверждение там.
2)Прослушать нужное место и потеряться в тексте. Важно помнить, что все задания идут по порядку, в котором они упоминаются в тексте. Если вы вдруг поняли, что речь идет об уже следующем вопросе, приступайте сразу к нему. К пропущенным вопросам можно вернуться при втором прослушивании.
3)Попадание в “ловушки”. Порой в текстах используются повторы слов и выражений из написанных высказываний, при этом они использованы в другом контексте. Здесь легко можно растеряться и ответить не верно. Аналогично могут быть использованы антонимы. Чтобы оградить себя от подобных “ловушек”, нужно обязательно проверять себя во время второго прослушивания.
Here are the answers:
Task 1(Variant 2):
3 — 2;
4 — 1;
5 — 3;
6 — 3;
7 — 1;
8 — 2;
9 — 3;
Task 2(Variant 3):
3 — 3;
4 — 1;
5 — 2;
6 — 3;
7 — 1;
8 — 2;
9 — 1;
3. The Portobello Festival differs from festivals in Cannes and Venice as it
1) does not attract celebrities.
2) is not so fashionable and well-known.
3) is running its second season only.
4. The festival was initially founded to
1) let independent filmmakers demonstrate their work.
2) help different filmmakers earn money.
3) advertise video equipment but not to show films.
5. According to the festival’s director they made the festival free because
1) there are no expensive prizes and launch parties.
2) they get enough money for placing advertisements.
3) sponsors and funds provide good financial support.
6. One characteristic feature of the Portobello Festival is that
1) 700 films are shown each festival season.
2) student films are shown together with professionals’ works.
3) only short films are chosen for the festival annually.
7.The festival’s director believes that their films are
1) worthy to be shown on TV.
2) the world’s top hits.
3) of better quality than TV films.
8. The famous filmmaker whose first film was shown at the festival is
1) John Malkovich.
2) Guy Ritchie.
3) Jonathan Barnett.
9. Speaking about future plans, the festival’s director
1) sounds optimistic about the festival extension.
2) believes the festival should turn to other arts mostly.
3) thinks the festival will be united with Glastonbury or Edinburgh events.
Во время первого прослушивания нужно отметить варианты, которые кажутся верными, и возможные варианты ответа, если у вас есть сомнения.И правильные, и неправильные ответы могут включать повторы слов и выражений из текста, поэтому важно не только пытаться уловить эти слова, но контекст, в котором они используются.
Во время второго прослушивания сконцентрируйте все внимание на высказываниях, в которых вы не уверены или пропустили первый раз. Если же вы уверены в правильности своих ответов, все равно стоит прослушать запись еще раз и проверить себя.
Разберем первый вопрос из нашего примера.
The Portobello Festival differs from festivals in Cannes and Venice as it
1) does not attract celebrities.
2) is not so fashionable and well-known.
3) is running its second season only.
Как делать
Перед прослушиванием дается 20 секунд на то, чтобы успеть прочитать задание. На этом этапе многие делают распространенную ошибку — начинают пытаться угадать правильный ответ, исходя из своих знаний, опыта или просто логики. Не нужно так делать! Догадка может сильно подвести, а наша задача — определить ответ по содержанию текста.
Разумнее потратить эти 20 секунд на то, чтобы внимательно прочитать предложения и подумать, какая информация может понадобиться, чтобы понять верно утверждение или нет.
Как правило, все предложения идут в том же порядке, в котором они упоминаются в записи. Если вдруг вы поняли, что пропустили какую-то информацию и уже слышите реплики из следующих высказываний, не паникуем! Запись играет дважды, у вас будет возможность вернуться к этому предложению, а сейчас лучше сосредоточиться на оставшихся.
Можно подчеркнуть key words (ключевые слова), но не стоит ожидать, что их произнесут в тексте. Наоборот, нужные слова и фразы могут быть перефразированы.
Поищем key words в нашем примере:
|
A. |
The client is going to London this week. |
|
B. |
The client has chosen an evening flight. |
|
C. |
The client is flying to London for sightseeing. |
|
D. |
The ticket price seems okay for the client. |
|
E. |
It’s the shortest possible flight to London. |
|
F. |
The client dislikes London airports except for Heathrow. |
|
G. |
The final ticket price is lower than the original one. |
Легко заметить схожесть предложений D и G: в обоих случаях мы имеем информацию про ticket price. Важно, что в предложении G мы должны услышать информацию именно про final ticket price.
Во время первого прослушивания нужно стараться найти опровержение или подтверждение каждого утверждения. Если нет ни того, ни другого, смело ставим Not stated. Если вы сомневаетесь в правильности решения или, например, прослушали момент, где могло упоминаться высказывание, поставьте рядом с ним знак вопроса, чтобы вернуться к этому месту во время второго прослушивания.
Во время второго прослушивания сконцентрируйте все внимание на высказываниях, в которых вы не уверены или пропустили первый раз. Если же вы уверены в правильности своих ответов, все равно стоит прослушать запись еще раз и проверить себя.
Разбор примера
Разберем первые два высказывания из нашего примера.
|
A. |
The client is going to London this week. |
Слышим I need to fly to London next Monday and I’d like to make reservations for a round trip ticket. Выражение next Monday — маячок, что высказывание А неверно, ведь в нем говорится про this week.
|
B. |
The client has chosen an evening flight. |
Слышим I’d rather leave at 9 p.m. — очевидно, что высказывание В верно, несмотря на дальнейшие слова I have to get to London early in the morning, as early as possible, которые легко могут сбить с толку.
|
C. |
The client is flying to London for sightseeing. |
Слышим It’s a business trip, you know, выходит, что цель поездки — бизнес, а высказывание С неверно. В конце записи прозвучит I might want to see some sights or spend the night at the theater, фраза see some sights — ловушка, герой диалога предполагает, что ему захочеться это сделать, но не уверен, поэтому использует модальный глагол might. В данном случае, see some sights — лишь возможный вариант досуга героя, но точно не причина его поездки.
|
D. |
The ticket price seems okay for the client. |
Предложение с подвохом! Сначала, мы узнаем, что цена оказалась выше ожиданий мужчины ($440 вместо $400), потом слышим его негодование That’s ridiculous! It’s too much! После убеждений продавца он произносит Okaaay, if I don’t have any other choices… Слово okay звучит, но означает ли это, что цена для него действительно okay? Нет, мы слышим его недовольство в обеих фразах, значит высказывание D неверно.
|
E. |
It’s the shortest possible flight to London. |
На вопрос What’s the flying time? мы слышим только 6 hours и больше ничего. Информации о том, как долго длятся другие рейсы, нет. Получается, что у нас недостаточно данных, чтобы подтвердить или опровергнуть высказывание, выбираем ответ Not Stated.
|
F. |
The client dislikes London airports except for Heathrow. |
Мужчина действительно задает вопрос про аэропорт What’s the destination airport? и слышит в ответ, что прилетает в Heathrow, как раз, как в нашем высказывании. Дальше он явно радуется этому факту That’s good news! I don’t expect a lot of traffic jams on my way then, and you can always rent a decent car there. Даже если слова decent, rent, traffic jams не известны, не трудно понять, что говорящему аэропорт Heathrow пришелся по душе. Но в нашем высказывании он должен dislike все остальные аэропорты в городе. Он что-то говорит про них? Правильно, нет. Мы, конечно, можем решить, что раз он так обрадовался этому аэропорту, значит остальные ему скорее всего не нравятся, но это будет лишь нашей догадкой, опираться в выборе ответа на догадки нельзя. Высказывание F — Not Stated.
|
G. |
The final ticket price is lower than the original one. |
В конце разговора покупатель не может определиться с датой обратного вылета и просит оставить open date на билете, на что получает ответ but it will make the price jump, то есть цена «подпрыгнет» или увеличится. Мы уже знаем, что мужчина ранее был недоволен ценой, может он что-то предпримет? Подобная логика опять приведет нас к догадкам, поэтому важно не пытаться угадать ответ, а внимательно слушать текст. Мы получаем ответ Well, I don’t mind it, значит цена остается конечной, а это выше изначальной цены. Выходит, что высказывание G неверно.
Установите соответствие тем 1 — 7 текстам A — F. Занесите свои ответы в соответствующее поле справа. Используйте каждую цифру только один раз. В задании одна тема лишняя.

Reunion
The last time I saw my father was in Grand Central Station. I was going from my grandmother’s in the Adirondacks to a cottage on the Cape that my mother had rented, and I wrote my father that I would be in New York between trains for an hour and a half, and asked if we could have lunch together. His secretary wrote to say that he would meet me at the information booth at noon, and at twelve o’clock sharp I saw him coming through the crowd.
He was a stranger to me — my mother divorced him three years ago and I hadn’t been with him since — but as soon as I saw him I felt that he was my father, my flesh and blood, my future and my doom. I knew that when I was grown I would be something like him; I would have to plan my campaigns within his limitations. He was a big, good-looking man, and I was terribly happy to see him again.
He struck me on the back and shook my hand. «Hi, Charlie,» he said. «Hi, boy. I’d like to take you up to my club, but it’s in the Sixties, and if you have to catch an early train I guess we’d better get something to eat around here.» He put his arm around me, and I smelled my father the way my mother sniffs a rose. It was a rich compound of whiskey, after-shave lotion, shoe polish, woollens, and the rankness of a mature male. I hoped that someone would see us together. I wished that we could be photographed. I wanted some record of our having been together.
We went out of the station and up a side street to a restaurant. It was still early, and the place was empty. The bartender was quarrelling with a delivery boy, and there was one very old waiter in a red coat down by the kitchen door. We sat down, and my father hailed the waiter in a loud voice. «Kellner!» he shouted. «Garcon! You!» His boisterousness in the empty restaurant seemed out of place. «Could we have a little service here!» he shouted. Then he clapped his hands. This caught the waiter’s attention, and he shuffled over to our table.
«Were you clapping your hands at me?» he asked.
«Calm down, calm down,» my father said. «It isn’t too much to ask of you — if it wouldn’t be too much above and beyond the call of duty, we would like a couple of Beefeater Gibsons.»
«I don’t like to be clapped at,» the waiter said.
«I should have brought my whistle,» my father said. «I have a whistle that is audible only to the ears of old waiters. Now, take out your .little pad and your little pencil and see if you can get this straight: two Beefeater Gibsons. Repeat after me: two Beefeater Gibsons.»
«I think you’d better go somewhere else,» the waiter said quietly. «That,» said my father, «is one of the most brilliant suggestions I have ever heard. Come on, Charlie.»
I followed my father out of that restaurant into another. He was not so boisterous this time. Our drinks came, and he cross-questioned me about the baseball season. He then struck the edge of his empty glass with his knife and began shouting again. «Garcon! You! Could we trouble you to bring us two more of the same.» «How old is the boy?» the waiter asked. «That,» my father said, «is none of your business.»
«I’m sorry, sir,» the waiter said, «but I won’t serve the boy another drink.» «Well, I have some news for you,» my father said. «I have some very interesting news for you. This doesn’t happen to be the only restaurant in New York. They’ve opened another on the corner. Come on, Charlie.»
He paid the bill, and I followed him out of that restaurant into another …
I had first become acquainted with my Italian friend by meeting him at certain great houses where he taught his own language and I taught drawing. All I then knew of the history of his life was that he had left Italy for political reasons; and that he had been for many years respectably established in London as a teacher.
Without being actually a dwarf – for he was perfectly well-proportioned from head to foot – Pesca was, I think, the smallest human being I ever saw. Remarkable anywhere, by his personal appearance, he was still further distinguished among the mankind by the eccentricity of his character. The ruling idea of Peska’s life now was to show his gratitude to the country that had given him a shelter by doing his utmost to turn himself into an Englishman. The Professor aspired to become an Englishman in his habits and amusements, as well as in his personal appearance. Finding us distinguished, as a nation, by our love of athletic exercises, the little man, devoted himself to all our English sports and pastimes, firmly persuaded that he could adopt our national amusements by an effort of will the same way as he had adopted our national gaiters and our national white hat.
I had seen him risk his limbs blindly unlike others at a fox-hunt and in a cricket field; and soon afterwards I saw him risk his life, just as blindly, in the sea at Brighton.
We had met there accidentally, and were bathing together. If we had been engaged in any exercise peculiar to my own nation I should, of course, have looked after Pesca carefully; but as foreigners are generally quite as well able to take care of themselves in the water as Englishmen, it never occurred to me that the art of swimming might merely add one more to the list of manly exercises which the Professor believed that he could learn on the spot. Soon after we had both struck out from shore, I stopped, finding my friend did not
follow me, and turned round to look for him. To my horror and amazement,
I saw nothing between me and the beach but two little white arms which struggled for an instant above the surface of the water, and then disappeared from view. When I dived for him, the poor little man was lying quietly at the bottom, looking smaller than I had ever seen him look before.
When he had thoroughly recovered himself, his warm Southern nature broke through all artificial English restraints in a moment. He overwhelmed me with the wildest expressions of affection and in his exaggerated Italian way declared that he should never be happy again until he rendered me some service which I might remember to the end of my days.
Little did I think then – little did I think afterwards – that the opportunity of serving me was soon to come; that he was eagerly to seize it on the instant; and that by so doing he was to turn the whole current of my existence into a new channel. Yet so it was. If I had not dived for Professor Pesca when he lay under water, I should never, perhaps, have heard even the name of the woman, who now directs the purpose of my life.
