4. Answer the questions. 1 Do you think the Mock Turtle likes being sad? Why (not)? 2 Why do you think Alice listens to the Mock Turtle’s story? 3 What do you think will happen at the trial? 4 Why do people have trials?

1. No, I don’t think the Mock Turtle likes being sad. He is sad because he has had a difficult and unhappy life.
2. Alice listens because she is kind, curious and wants to understand the Mock Turtle.
3. I think Alice will go to the trial, where the King and Queen will judge the case. Alice may discover that the trial is unfair.
4. People have trials to find out the truth, decide whether someone has broken the law and make a fair decision.

Перевод: Нет, я не думаю, что Черепахе Квази нравится быть грустной. Алиса слушает его, потому что она добрая и любопытная. На суде король и королева будут разбирать дело; возможно, Алиса увидит, что суд несправедлив. Суды нужны, чтобы установить правду и принять справедливое решение.
