4. Read and choose the funniest joke. Act out the dialogues with your classmate. 1) “Andrew, can your little nephew talk?” asked a friend of the family. “No,” answered Andrew. “My nephew doesn’t need to talk. All he must do is cry, and he gets everything he wants.” 2) Teacher: “Your English exercises are always better than your German ones. Can you explain why?” Student: “Yes, I can. It’s because my older sister doesn’t know German.” 3) Mother: “William, you are a naughty boy. You never do what I tell you. If you were a good son, my hair wouldn’t turn grey so early.” William: “But Mum, you never do what your mother told you either. It’s because of you Granny had such grey hair.” 4) Mr Brown: “All the members of my family work hard. My wife gives piano lessons, my son is learning to play the guitar and my daughter is taking singing lessons.” His uncle: “And what about you? What do you do?” Mr Brown: “Well, I suffer in silence.” 5) A man loved his children. He let his son and daughter do whatever they wanted and gave them whatever they wanted. So his children were very naughty. There was an earthquake in the town and the loving father sent his son and daughter to their uncle in Los Angeles. The aunt and uncle tried to be hospitable and kind to their nephew and niece, but their noisy guests were terrible. At last, they couldn’t stand the children any longer and sent their father a telegram: “Please take back the children and send the earthquake instead.”

Перевод задания: Прочитай и выбери самую смешную шутку. Разыграй диалоги с одноклассником.

Самая смешная — шутка 5: тётя и дядя не выдерживают шума детей и просят прислать им вместо детей землетрясение.

Перевод:

Один мужчина очень любил своих детей. Он позволял сыну и дочери делать всё, что им вздумается, и давал им всё, чего они хотели. Поэтому дети были очень непослушными. В городе произошло землетрясение, и любящий отец отправил сына и дочь к их дяде в Лос-Анджелес. Тётя и дядя старались быть гостеприимными и добрыми к племяннику и племяннице, но их шумные гости были ужасны. Наконец они больше не могли выносить детей и отправили их отцу телеграмму: «Пожалуйста, забери детей обратно, а вместо них пришли землетрясение».

Дети оказались такими невыносимыми, что родственники предпочли бы пережить землетрясение.
