Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us that dragons exist,

but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.

CORALINE DISCOVERED THE DOOR a little while after they moved into the house.

It was a very old house-it had an attic under the roof and a cellar under the ground and an overgrown garden with huge old trees in it.

Coraline’s family didn’t own all of the house-it was too big for that. Instead they owned part of it.

There were other people who lived in the old house.

Miss Spink and Miss Forcible lived in the flat below Coraline’s, on the ground floor. They were both old and round, and they lived in their flat with a number of ageing Highland terriers who had names like Hamish and Andrew and Jock. Once upon a time Miss Spink and Miss Forcible had been actresses, as Miss Spink told Coraline the first time she met her.

‘You see, Caroline,’ Miss Spink said, getting Coraline’s name wrong, ‘both myself and Miss Forcible were famous actresses, in our time. We trod the boards, luvvy. Oh, don’t let Hamish eat the fruitcake, or he’ll be up all night with his tummy.’

‘It’s Coraline. Not Caroline. Coraline,’ said Coraline.

In the flat above Coraline’s, under the roof, was a crazy old man with a big moustache. He told Coraline that he was training a mouse circus. He wouldn’t let anyone see it.

‘One day, little Caroline, when they are all ready, everyone in the whole world will see the wonders of my mouse circus. You ask me why you cannot see it now. Is that what you asked me?’

‘No,’ said Coraline quietly, ‘I asked you not to call me Caroline. It’s Coraline.’

‘The reason you cannot see the mouse circus,’ said the man upstairs, ‘is that the mice are not yet ready and rehearsed. Also, they refuse to play the songs I have written for them. All the songs I have written for the mice to play go oompah oompah . But the white mice will only play toodle oodle , like that. I am thinking of trying them on different types of cheese.’

Coraline didn’t think there really was a mouse circus. She thought the old man was probably making it up.

The day after they moved in, Coraline went exploring.

She explored the garden. It was a big garden: at the very back was an old tennis court, but no-one in the house played tennis and the fence around the court had holes in it and the net had mostly rotted away; there was an old rose garden, filled with stunted, flyblown rose-bushes; there was a rockery that was all rocks; there was a fairy ring, made of squidgy brown toadstools which smelled dreadful if you accidentally trod on them.

There was also a well. Miss Spink and Miss Forcible made a point of telling Coraline how dangerous the well was, on the first day Coraline’s family moved in, and warned her to be sure she kept away from it. So Coraline set off to explore for it, so that she knew where it was, to keep away from it properly.

She found it on the third day, in an overgrown meadow beside the tennis court, behind a clump of trees-a low brick circle almost hidden in the high grass. The well had been covered up by wooden boards, to stop anyone falling in. There was a small knot-hole in one of the boards, and Coraline spent an afternoon dropping pebbles and acorns through the hole, and waiting, and counting, until she heard the plop as they hit the water, far below.

Coraline also explored for animals. She found a hedgehog, and a snake-skin (but no snake), and a rock that looked just like a frog, and a toad that looked just like a rock.

There was also a haughty black cat, who would sit on walls and tree stumps, and watch her; but would slip away if ever she went over to try to play with it.

That was how she spent her first two weeks in the house-exploring the garden and the grounds.

Her mother made her come back inside for dinner, and for lunch; and Coraline had to make sure she dressed up warm before she went out, for it was a very cold summer that year; but go out she did, exploring, every day until the day it rained, when Coraline had to stay inside.

‘What should I do?’ asked Coraline.

‘Read a book,’ said her mother. ‘Watch a video. Play with your toys. Go and pester Miss Spink or Miss Forcible, or the crazy old man upstairs.’

‘No,’ said Coraline. ‘I don’t want to do those things. I want to explore.’

‘I don’t really mind what you do,’ said Coraline’s mother, ‘as long as you don’t make a mess.’

Coraline went over to the window and watched the rain come down. It wasn’t the kind of rain you could go out in, it was the other kind, the kind that threw itself down from the sky and splashed where it landed. It was rain that meant business, and currently its business was turning the garden into a muddy, wet soup.

Coraline had watched all the videos. She was bored with her toys, and she’d read all her books.

She turned on the television. She went from channel to channel to channel, but there was nothing on but men in suits talking about the stock market, and schools programmes. Eventually, she found something to watch: it was the last half of a natural history programme about something called protective coloration. She watched animals, birds and insects which disguised themselves as leaves or twigs or other animals to escape from things that could hurt them. She enjoyed it, but it ended too soon, and was followed by a programme about a cake factory.

It was time to talk to her father.

Coraline’s father was home. Both of her parents worked, doing things on computers, which meant that they were home a lot of the time. Each of them had their own study.

‘Hello, Coraline,’ he said when she came in, without turning round.

‘Mmph,’ said Coraline. ‘It’s raining.’

‘Yup,’ said her father. ‘It’s bucketing down.’

‘No,’ said Coraline, ‘it’s just raining. Can I go outside?’

‘What does your mother say?’

‘She says, ‘You’re not going out in weather like that, Coraline Jones’.’

‘But I want to carry on exploring.’

‘Then explore the flat,’ suggested her father. ‘Look-here’s a piece of paper and a pen. Count all the doors and windows. List everything blue. Mount an expedition to discover the hot-water tank. And leave me alone to work.’

‘Can I go into the drawing room?’ The drawing room was where the Joneses kept the expensive (and uncomfortable) furniture Coraline’s grandmother had left them when she died. Coraline wasn’t allowed in there. Nobody went in there. It was only for best.

‘If you don’t make a mess. And you don’t touch anything.’

Coraline considered this carefully, then she took the paper and pen and went off to explore the inside of the flat.

She discovered the hot-water tank (it was in a cupboard in the kitchen).

She counted everything blue (153).

She counted the windows (21).

She counted the doors (14).

Of the doors that she found, thirteen opened and closed. The other, the big, carved, brown wooden door at

MY HOME

We have a nice flat rather far from the centre of the city. It is in a new five-storey building in Gagarin Avenue. As there are five storeys in the building it has a lift.

Our flat is on the fourth floor. It has all modern conveniences such ,as central heating, gas, electricity, cold and hot water, and a chute to carry rubbish down.

There are three rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom and a hall in our flat.

The dining-room is the largest and most comfortable room in the flat. In the middle of the dining-room we have a square dining-table with six chairs round it. There is a hanging lamp above the table. To the right of the dining-table there is a sideboard with two drawers in it. Near it there is a piano with a piano stool before it.

Between the two large windows there is a little table with a TV set on it. Our TV set is of the latest model. Near the TV set there are two cosy armchairs. Nothing is more pleasant in rainy weather than to sit in a comfortable armchair and watch TV programmes.

A small round table, a divan-bed and a standard lamp are in the left-hand corner. This table is for newspapers and magazines.

The walls of the dining-room are light-green and there are a few prints and water-colours on them.

II.

The bedroom is a bit smaller than the dining-room and not so light as there is only one window in it. In this room there are two beds with a bedside-table between them. An alarm-clock and a small lamp with a pink lamp-shade are on the table. At the opposite wall there is a dressing-table.

In this room we have a built-in wardrobe with coat-hangers to hang clothes on. There is a thick carpet on the floor and plain light-brown curtains on the window.

III.

The third room is the study. It is not so large as the dining-room but it is as cosy as all the other rooms.

There is not much furniture in it, only the most necessary pieces. It has a writing-desk with drawers to keep papers in. Pens, pencils, an inkpot, a writing-pad and a few dictionaries are lying on the desk. There is a telephone on the left. Just behind it is a reading lamp. On the right there is a desk-clock and a calendar. A desk-armchair is standing before it. There are books on the shelves all round the walls of the study. In the right-hand corner there is a bookcase full of books. Among them there are many English books in the original and in translation as I am a student of English.

A small table with a radio is standing in the left-hand corner. Near it there is a sofa with some cushions. In my opinion the study is the best room in our flat.

IV.

The next room is our kitchen. In it there is a large table, some stools, two kitchen-cupboards for cups, saucers, plates and dishes, a refrigerator (a fridge) to keep food cool in hot weather, and a number of shelves for pans, frying-pans and kettles.

There is a gas-stove here to cook the meals or boil the kettle on. Here, too, is the sink to wash the dishes in after meals. It has two taps, one for hot water and the other for cold water.

Then we have a bathroom. In it there is a bath with a shower and a wash-basin with a mirror over it. To the right of the mirror there is a towel-rail, to the left of it there is a shelf to keep tooth-brushes, tooth-powder (tooth-paste) and soap on.

In the hall there is a hall-stand where we may leave our coats and hats. A rug is lying in front of the door.

OUR SITTING-ROOM

Let’s have a look at this picture of our sitting-room. As you come into the room you notice a piano with a low music-stool in front of it. Next to the piano is a tall bookcase standing against the wall. On the left is a large window. Under the window there’s a radiator, but, you can’t see it because itjjs behind the settee. On the settee there are two cushions. The fireplace is at the other end of the room. On each side of the fireplace there’s an armchair. An old lady is sitting in one of the chairs, but nobody’s sitting in the other one: it’s empty.

In the centre of the mantelpiece there’s a clock and above it an oval mirror. On the right you can see a standard lamp. Opposite the fireplace you can see a small table with an ash-tray and some newspapers on it. By the table there’s a small chair. On the extreme right there’s a radio-set. The floor is covered with a beautiful thick carpet. An electric light is hanging from the middle of the ceiling. At night when it gets dark we switch on the light and draw the curtains: During the day, the light comes in through the window.

MY BEDROOM

At night when I feel tired and sleepy, I go up to my bedroom and switch on the electric light. I take off my shoes, undress and put on my pyjamas. Then I get into bed and switch off the light.

After a few minutes I fall asleep. I sleep the whole night through.

Punctually at seven-thirty in the morning, the alarm-clock rings and wakes me up. I get out of bed, put on my dressing-gown and slippers, and go into the bathroom, where I turn on the hot and cold taps. While the water’s running into the bath, I wash my face and neck, clean my teeth, and shave. My shaving things are on the shelf above the basin. Then I turn off the taps and have my bath. Sometimes I have a shower. When I’ve dried myself with a towel, I get dressed.

On the dressing-table in front of the looking-glass, you’ll see a hairbrush and a comb, a hand-mirror, a bottle of scent and a powder-box. These, of course, don’t belong to me, but to my wife. In the chest of drawers I keep clean linen such as shirts! collars and handkerchiefs, besides things like socks and ties. The dirty linen is put in a linen basket and sent to the laundry. In the wardrobe I keep my suits and other clothes, which I hang on coat-hangers.

5. Learn the following dialogue

A. Well, here is our new flat. B. When did you move in?

A. About two weeks ago. Last Saturday we had a housewarming party.

B. Do you like your new flat?

A. Yes. It’s a nice flat of three rooms with all modern conveniences. Just a moment, this must be the wrong key, it doesn’t fit into the keyhole… Now it’s all right… Just walk in.

B. Oh, the hall is rather large.

A. Let me help you off with your coat, hang your hat on that peg up there… Now I’ll show you round the flat. This door leads to the living-room.

B. A rather large room, I should say. What’s the floor space?

A. About 23 square metres, I believe.

B. I like the wall-paper.

A. There is not enough furniture. We want to buy a coffee-table and two or three armchairs to make the room look cosy.

B. The windows face south-west, don’t they?

A. So they do. We have sunshine the greater part of the day. Now, this glassed door opens on the balcony.

B. Oh, what a fine view you get from here! That building on the left is a school, I believe.

A. Right you are. And on the right you will see a supermarket. So we needn’t go far to do our shopping.

B. That’s fine. It saves a lot of time, doesn’t it?

A. Now here is one of our bedrooms. Would you like to see it?

B. I’ll just look in… The room really looks fine. You’ve got everything a bedroom should have: beds, a bedside table, a dressing table, a mirror over it… Well, but there is one thing lacking. I see no wardrobe.

A. This time you are mistaken, there is one. We have a built-in wardrobe. Here it is.

B. How very convenient! And it is so large! You can keep a lot of clothes in it.

A. Now shall I take you to-our kitchen?

B. Yes, please. I would like to see your kitchen very much.

A. Well, here we are. As you see, we have all conveniences necessary for cooking: a gas stove, a refrigerator, a built-in cupboard for dry foods and dishes, two shelves and a sink with a rack for dishes above.

B. Well, thank you for showing me everything. I like your new flat very much.

A Letter from my London Friend

This is a picture of my house. Like many English houses it is a two-storey brick building with a garden around it.

On the ground floor we have a sitting room, a dining room and a kitchen. The kitchen is rather big and comfortable.

But when we have a party we have dinner in the dining room. And after dinner we usually go to the sitting-room. It is very cosy. There isn’t much furniture in our sitting room. There is a sofa and two armchairs ж it. There are some pictures on the walls. In the middle of the room there is a carpet. We also have a TV set the comer. We like watching TV. Our bedrooms are upstairs on the first floor. There are not many things ere. We have only two beds, a mirror, a dressing table and a wardrobe in the bedroom. There are also two brooms for guests.

They are small. In winter we heat the bedrooms because there is no central heating. Few people have central heating in their own houses.
