UNIT 22 20

How Some People Change When They Grow Up!

When Tom and his brother James were boys of seventeenand eighteen, they were completely d if ferent.

Tom detested books and study. James, on the contrary,never seemed to be happy unless he had a book in his hand.

Tom loved footbal l , but James hated al l sports. Tom haddozens of fr iends. James preferred to spend al l h is free t imealone. He always refused to dr ink alcohol, and he neversmoked.

When fr iends invited the two boys to part ies, Tom alwaysaccepted, but James always refused.

But on his e ighteenth bir thday he suddenly changed.

After the bir thday lunch, Tom (who wanted to tease hisbrother) offered him a beer… and James quiet ly accepted i t !This, of course, was a great surpr ise for Tom.

Then, in the afternoon, when some fr iends arr ived, Tomplayed some records of dance music on his stereo. Jamespoli te ly asked one of the gir ls i f she wanted to dance. After

that he continued to dance al l the aft ernoon.In the evening, when his father, just for a joke, offered

him a glass of whisky to celebrate his b ir thday, Jamesaccepted with thanks. While he was dr inking the whisky, h isfather, mother and brother watched him i n astonishment.

A few minutes after that, James asked Tom a questionabout footbal l . But before Tom had t ime to answer, theirmother asked, “Do you want your evening glass of milk now,James dear?”

There was a moment of s i lence, then James answered

quiet ly, “No, thank you, mama. Milk is for babies.”And after that day, he l iked beer and whisky, p layed

footbal l , preferred games to study, laughed and ta lkednonsense, and did al l the th ings that Tom did. Soon, the twoboys agreed about everything.

Margaret and Linda

Margaret and her s ister L inda agree very well . They neverquarrel. They are very good fr iends. They have the sameideas, the same tastes. They even dress in the samecolours. And they have the same hobbies. For example,Margaret (as you know) col lects postcards with views offamous places…and her s ister col lects postcards too. ButMargaret ’s col lect ion is b igger than her s ister ’s, because for

the last three years, Margaret has vis i ted foreign countr iesduring her summer hol idays. And when Margaret v is i ts aforeign country, she buys dozens of coloured postcards asyou al l know.

Then, as you also know, Margaret writes poetry, and hersister writes poetry too. Margaret ’s poetry is very romantic.She writes about b irds and f lowers, the sky and i ts stars, thesea and i ts pearls…and her s ister writes about the samethings.

Their brother Wil l iam also writes poetry, but h is sty le isvery modern. Flowers and stars don’t interest h im at a l l . Hisideas are absolutely d if ferent.

The other day Margaret received a letter from her brother.The letter contained his three latest p ieces of poetry. Theti t les were, “The Song of the Angry Parrot” , “The Boxer’sBir thday” and “ I Never Refuse a Glass of Beer”. Tom l ikes al lthe three pieces, but he prefers the th ird one. “Your brothermust be a very clever boy, Margaret,” he says - “ I l ike his

poetry very much. His i deas are real ly modern.” But Margaretlooks at h im in surpr ise. “What are you ta lk ing about, Tom?she says, “That isn’t poetry. I t ’s rubbish!”===has visited = ha vis i tado
