Yes, gimini, you're right but tell the truth: you've met this riddle before, haven't you?

If I have, I don't do that and write: "I know the answer" and so does Serdar. Anyway, the answer is: "It was a nice sunny day." Congratulations!

 

You've changed your avatar! I like it but your previous one was more colourful.

 

Самира:

The text below contains a mistake where a word HAS an EXTRA LETTER. For example, if the word should be NOT it is printed as NOTE.

"Helen Collins, the film star, became ill while she was having her hair cut at a London salon yesterday. The hairdresser took Miss Collins outside to get some fresh hair and she soon felt better. She returned to the salon and told reporters later that she was pleased with her new style."

It should be the word - air

Your answer is correct too!

 

Let us think a little about the bus. We'll try to guess.

 

See you!

Анекдот из инета:

В институте иностранных языков идет экзамен по литературному переводу. "Препод" дает студенту фразу для перевода на английский язык. Фраза следующая:

 

Эх, лапти мои, четыре оборки,

Хочу — дома заночую, хочу — у Егорки.

 

Студент, как может, переводит ее на английский язык. "Препод" сильно удивлен. И уже следующему студенту дает для перевода эту английскую фразу на русский язык. Студент переводит ее следующим образом:

 

Блистают туфли нестерпимо лаком.

Мне некуда бежать. Все решено.

Мне нынче дома мирный сон уже не лаком,

Мне нынче ночевать у Джорджа суждено!

 

Предлагаю попытаться зарифмовать по-английски

I'm sure to try, Serdar

 

Cамира, is it a school bus?

 

Serdar, your misprint was found by Самира! Don't worry, here's one more for you (and everyone);

The text below contains a mistake where ONE LETTER IS MISSED. For example, if the word should be BOX it is printed as OX.

 

"Leo the Lion escaped from Chesterfield Zoo last night. A team of zoo-keepers are following Leo's tail and they are confident that they will recapture him quickly. The public are advised to stay indoors"

 

Good luck and have fun!

The word with misprint is 'tail'.

It should be change by the word 'trail'.

Cамира, is it a school bus?

 

answer

 

THE BUS IS TRAVELING TO THE LEFT

WHY?

 

Because you can not see the door to get on the bus.

[Самира 26]

The "he" puzzle:

Name an English word of more than 2 letters that both begins and ends with the letters 'he' (in that order). (Actually, there are two possible correct answers -- and "hehe" is not an acceptable solution.)

Serdar:

 

"Эх, лапти мои, четыре оборки,

Хочу — дома заночую, хочу — у Егорки."

 

Предлагаю попытаться зарифмовать по-английски.

 

"Oh, my boots, two pairs of laces,

You have been to many places!

Tell me, will it be all right

If I spend with George the night?"

 

See you soon!

Bravo!

Thank you, victorian, it's very kind of you. Can YOU translate it into English? I know you're good at writing poems. Try!

Самира! That's a clever riddle. I like it. Unfortunately we haven't got any pre-school children at home.

 

So long, see you!

Yes, Serdar, you're right, as usual. "...are following Leo's trail" You've found 10 misprints out of 13!

 

Well, what do we have for today?

 

1. "Mrs Hudson was given...." page 40

 

2. Serdar's task:

"Эх, лапти мои, четыре оборки, Хочу — дома заночую, хочу — у Егорки."

3. The "he" puzzle from Самира:

Name an English word of more than 2 letters that both begins and ends with the letters 'he' (in that order). (Actually, there are two possible correct answers -- and "hehe" is not an acceptable solution.)

( I know ONE answer and I'll help you with it: "What's the matter with John? He looks ill. - He has a terrible ........................."

 

4. One more riddle:" What kind of dog has no tail?"

 

5. Translate into English: "Я оглянулся посмотреть, не оглянулась ли она, чтоб посмотреть, не оглянулся ли я." (It's easy, just two verbs: look back and see)

 

6. A new misprint for Serdar and everyone:

The text below contains a mistake where a word has an EXTRA letter. For example, if the word should be NOT it is printed as NOTE.

THE BUS IS TRAVELING TO THE LEFT WHY?

Because you can not see the door to get on the bus.

 

One bus, one question - left or right?

But where is the door?

I`m thinking day, I`m thinking night,

It is eternal law

 

It`s like - "To be or not to be?"

And there is one door,

Are you hetero? Are you bi?

I suffer and adore!
