Сегодня прочтем отрывок из сказки “Необыкновенные приключения Карика и Вали”, автор Ян Ларри. Это история о том, как один профессор и двое детей (их имена есть в названии - мальчик Карик и девочка Валя) стали очень маленькими и исследовали наш мир с другой стороны, так сказать. Я очень любила эту книжку в детстве.

Слова, которые объясняю в эпизоде: це́лый - весь, полный - whole; забы́ть - перестать помнить - to forget; находи́ться - быть, пребывать, иметься где-нибудь - to be, locate; склони́ться - нагнуться, опуститься - to bow down; ста́рый знако́мый - an old acquaintance; стекло́ - glass; пау́к - spider; сра́зу - немедленно, в тот же момент - at once, right away, straight; рассмотре́ть - всматриваясь, распознать, осмотреть - to descry; ко́нчик его ноги - tip of his foot; ко́готь (или когото́к) - ноготь зверя или птицы - claw; гре́бень - crest, comb; у́зел паути́ны - web node; бык - bull; разгляде́ть - то же самое, что рассмотреть - to make out; че́люсть - jaw; взду́тый - swollen; брю́хо - живот животного - belly, abdomen; охо́титься - заниматься охотой - to hunt.

Отрывок из сказки “Необыкновенные приключения Карика и Вали” Ян Ларри

This is the first short episode in the story where two people meet. See the transcript below to help aid your comprehension.

Welcome English learners! Today we’re going to begin a story that will last for several episodes. You can listen to the story episode by episode and grow your vocabulary and listening skills. Enjoy!

James looked over his shoulder. He saw something running toward him very fast. His heart started beating rapidly. He thought it was a person, but when he turned to face them, he realized that it wasn’t a person. It was a large black dog. The dog was getting closer and closer, but it wasn’t barking at him. In fact, the dog looked happy. Then he saw why the dog was running. There was a tennis ball bouncing and rolling toward him and the dog was chasing it.

James looked up and saw a woman about one hundred yards away from him. She was short and blonde. The dog grabbed the ball with his mouth and started running back toward her.

“Good boy!” she said.

“That’s a beautiful dog you have,” James said to her.

“Thanks! Actually, he’s not my dog. I’m just watching him for a friend this weekend.” she replied.

“Oh, I see,” said James. “Well, how did your friend get you to dog-sit for them?” James asked.

“That’s actually along story,” she answered with a smile.

James liked her smile and he had time to spare. He walked casually toward her and the dog. 

“I’ve got time. What’s the story?” James asked. “My name’s James, by the way.”

“Jennifer. Nice to meet you. Well, it actually started a few months ago when I was hanging out with my friend…” she said.

Well, that’s the end of the story for this episode. Tune in to the next episode to hear more about what happens with Jennifer and James. Be sure to write down any new vocabulary and listen again to improve your comprehension. See you next time!

I believe that great skin comes from within. There are food sources readily available in your local market that you can buy to get good skin. Glowing skin can be achieved from food sources and food such as fruits are some of the best sources we have.
