Mrs Priestley and Some Others You already know Mr. Priestley, the teacher and writer. In this lesson you will hear about his wife, Mrs. Priestley, the Priestleys house, and some of the people in the house. Mrs. Priestley knows all about the house; she does the work in it every day, and to-day she will tell you a little about it. Mrs. Priestley is a pleasant-looking woman of about forty, with warm brown hair and soft dark-brown eyes. She is kind and gentle, but she manages her house (and, in her quiet way, her husband) very well. He is, of course, a clever men, but a little unpractical, and he needs Mrs. Priestley to look after him. Mrs. Prieestley, on the other hand, is very practical and full of common sense. The Priestleys have two children, John and Margaret. John is eighteen, six foot tall, and a fine manly fellow. He is at the university and is studying to be a doctor. He is a clever, hard-working student, a first-class footballer, boxer, and runner. He is strong both in body and character, and quiet and thoughtful like his father. He will make a good doctor. Margaret is only eleven. She is a lovely little girl with golden hair and dark blue eyes and a spirit that is always bright ans happy, full of joy and gaiety. She isnt fond of study of any kind, but she loves music and dancing and she sings very prettily. She is like a ray of sunshine in the house. Mr. Priestley is very fond of his son John and very proud of him; and Margaret is the apple of his eye. But here comes Mrs. Priestley. "Good morning, Mrs. Priestley; how are you?" Mrs. Priestley: Good morning, everyone. Im very well, thank you. You want to know about my house. Well, I am very pleased to be here and I will gladly tell you something about it. The house is rather big, and there is a lot of work in it, so I cant do everything alone. I have Susan and Lizzie to help me with the work. Lizzie is our cook, and she is a very good cook, but she is no good at all at housework. Now, Susan is very good at housework, but she cant cook at all - she cant even boil an egg. But that is all right, for Lizzie gets on with her cooking, and Susan and I do the housework - and, believe me, we all work very hard. Susan and Lizzie get up at a quarter to seven, and make the fires and open the windows. I get up at half past seven, and so does my husband, in time for breakfast at eight oclock. We have breakfast in the breakfast-room. I like to begin the day well, so our breakfast is always a good one. My husband reads his newspaper and smokes a cigarette with his last cup of tea, before he begins his work at nine oclock. Then Lizzie and Susan begin to clean the house, wash up, make the beds, and get the vegetables redy for lunch. We have lunch at one oclock. After that I do some sewing, or go out for a walk, or go to see people. We have afternoon tea about five oclock, but for that we dont go into the dining-room. we go to the sitting-room, and Susan brings in the tea with plates of bread and butter and small cakes. After tea we sit and talk or listen to the wireless or read. Sometimes we go to the cinema or the theatre. About seven or eight oclock I generally go to bed, but my husband likes to sit up late and read or write, in his study. Well, that is all for the present. I will tell you more about the house some other time. Переведите, пожалуйста текст. Спасибо:)

Entering Legal Profession in the UK Almost all English universities have a faculty of English law. University professors, readers and lecturers teach students. In most cases students receive the first degree in law on graduation from the university: LLB degree - Bachelor of Laws. The higher degrees are LLM degree (Master of Laws) and LLD degree (Doctor of Laws). As for these degrees, they require further studies, specialised examinations and dissertations. However, in Britain, unlike many other countries, it is not necessary to have a degree to become a lawyer. But most people entering the profession have a degree in Law. The main requirement is to pass final examinations (for both barristers and solicitors). If someone has a university degree in a subject other than law, he / she needs to take a preparatory course. Even after the examinations have been passed, a lawyer is not necessarily qualified. A solicitor then spends two years as a trainee solicitor. During this time, his / her work is supervised by an experienced lawyer, and he / she must take further courses. A barrister must spend a similar year as a pupil.
