For whom and for what do we learn?
My uncle on business affairs often happens abroad. Traveled half the world. From every trip he always brings a lot of gifts, and very interesting.
From the last trip my uncle brought me a designer. Opening the smart, dense box on which the cars were depicted, I saw a lot of metal parts, tools. I gasped in delight. It was such an impression that I have to collect a real car! To the designer were attached intricate drawings and instructions… in English. Without translation. “What’s bothering you?” Said my uncle, noticing my perplexity. “You’re studying English at school, so translate it.” “So I bought the designer in such a way that you at the same time worked on English.”
My uncle left, and I, armed with a dictionary, began to translate the instructions. I must say that I spent a long time, but I did not achieve much success. The designer so beautifully glittered with his unusually beautiful details, as if he teased: “I did not teach the school well at school. In the end, my patience broke, I went to my uncle and admitted that I had problems with English. He asked him to translate the instructions, but Uncle Vadim flatly refused: “Let the designer become an incentive for you to master the language, because you are learning for yourself.” This is only a toy, and in life you will need English for more serious things. “
I had no choice but to agree. Since then, my attitude towards English has changed. “Englishwoman” praises me, and the details of the designer gradually turn into a miracle machine…
