O beautiful for specious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!

God shed His grace on tree,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

Or may be instead

As red as red can be,
And on it’s written all in gold
“To you with love for me”.

Я получила валентинку,
Кто же прислал ее мне?
Такая яркая, цветная,
Хорошенькая вполне.

Рисунок на нежное кружево похож.
А в центре – сердце, большое и красное.
Золотом горят слова:
«Любимая, ты – прекрасна!»

P3. Morning Announcements
By Sylvia Andrew
Good morning, Staff and Students,
Take note of what I say.
In school we will have showers
For April starts today.
Some teachers were suspended
For giving too much work.
Today, if you fill lazy,
You’ll be allowed to shirk.
We want to find the student
Who brought a pig to school.
It is “running” down the hallways,
And that’s against the rule.
Today on our lunch menu,
Are bumblebees in sauce
Or chopped cockroach sandwiches
And salad you can toss.
Next year we’ll pay our students
For work they do in school …
… and if you believe these messages,
Then you’re an APRIL FOOL!

Oh, say, can you see, by the down’s early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the taillight’s last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket’s red glare,

O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

P5. A poem “Autumn Ghost Sounds”
When the moon rides high,
Up overhead – and I am snug and warm,
In bed – in the autumn dark the ghosts move round
Making their mournful, moaning sound.
I listen to know when the ghosts go by,
I hear a sigh.
But I can’t quite tell which I hear the most – the wind.
On the wail of some passing ghost.

P6. Anonymous
Осенние звуки привидений
Когда плывет на небе мрачная луна,
Ты посмотри скорей из своего окна.
А мне уютно и тепло.
И я сижу возле камина,
Вокруг жилища слышу я
То мрачный крик, то вздох усталый.
И страшно мне.
Я знать хочу, когда уйдут они скорее.
Хочу кричать, но не кричу,
И вопль то тише, то слышнее …
Но я не знаю, что я слышу.
Иль крик усталый или ветер.
А может ворон там на крыше.
Или вампир меня приметил.

Sat in a corner.
Eating a Christmas pie,
He put in his thumb,
And pulled out a plum,
And said what a good boy am i.
