Текст A: We parted at the school gates, I joined my schoolmates and my father went off. Ours was just a small village school, with no rooms upstairs at all. There were about sixty boys and girls in our school, and their ages went from five to eleven. We had four classrooms and four teachers. Текст B: A teacher, called Captain Lancaster, taught the nine- and ten-year-olds and my year too. He was an awful man. He told us to call him Captain Lancaster instead of just mister. Captain Lancaster was a violent man, and we were afraid of him. Текст C: Mr Corrado took the seven-year-olds. He was a very old teacher, probably sixty or more. But he was in love with his job and did it perfectly. When he met children, he smiled at them, and they smiled at him. Текст D: At eight o’clock we started walking down the road to my school in the pale autumn sunshine, eating our apples. I really loved those morning walks to school with my father. We talked practically the whole time. Mostly it was he who talked and I who listened, and about everything he said was interesting. Текст E: My father has been living in the country all his life. He was a true countryman and knew a lot about all the trees and the wildflowers and the different grasses that grew in the fields.
