39 1 A world of English TALKING 31 Explain in English The marked words in this paragraph might be new to you. Find out what they mean. Choose at least three of the words and explain what they mean in English to a partner. Mrs Blaizely’s got a thing about running what she calls ‘a civilized school’. She says she wants everyone at St Edmund’s to have good manners and a positive attitude. So we began Assembly by singing that wimpy little song about remembering to be grateful for everything round us. (Lulu once wrote a joke version of it about not being grateful for empty beer cans, or sick on the pavements, or homework or dog poo. Mrs Shah said it was ‘a brilliant spoof’ and pinned it on the display board. She kept it up right through till Parents’ Evening. Then she lost her nerve and suddenly it vanished.) Reading a word in context can help you understand what it means. Read the whole sentence, as well as the one before or after it. 32 Act out the scene The main part of the text is when Boris translates for Ivan at Assembly.
