Schopnosť čítať (a ešte čítať s porozumením) je pri používaní cudzieho jazyka veľmi dôležitá. Čítanie pre pokročilejších by malo zahŕňať i klasiku, ktorou može byť Jane Eyre od Charlotte Brontë. Dnes vám prinášame úryvok z tejto svetoznámej knihy.
JANE EYRE
written by Charlotte Brontë
CHAPTER I.
There was no of taking a that day. We had been wandering, indeed, in the an hour in the morning; but since dinner (Mrs. Reed, when there was no company, dined early) had brought with it , and a rain so penetrating, that further outdoor exercise was now out of the question.
I was glad of it: I never liked long walks, especially on chilly afternoons: to me was the coming home in the raw twilight, with nipped fingers and toes, and a heart saddened by the chidings of Bessie, the nurse, and humbled by the consciousness of my physical inferiority to Eliza, John, and Georgiana Reed.
The said Eliza, John, and Georgiana were now clustered round their mama in the drawing-room: she lay reclined on a sofa by the fireside, and with her darlings about her (for the time neither quarrelling nor crying) looked perfectly happy. Me, she had dispensed from joining the group; saying, “She regretted to be under the necessity of keeping me at a distance; but that until she heard from Bessie, and could discover by her own observation, that I was endeavouring in good earnest to acquire a more sociable and childlike disposition, a more attractive and sprightly manner—something lighter, franker, more natural, as it were—she really must exclude me from privileges intended only for contented, happy, little children.”
“What does Bessie say I have done?” I asked.
“Jane, I don’t like cavillers or questioners; besides, there is something truly forbidding in a child taking up her elders in that manner. Be seated somewhere; and until you can speak pleasantly, remain silent.”
