Exercise 11. Read and analyze the verb forms. Answer the questions given below.

I've often thought that Stephan's success as a teacher is due to his eccentricity as much as his knowledge of the subject. From the first time he ever walked into a classroom, students have always loved him. They've probably never met anybody who displays such an extraordinary mixture of enthusiasm and great personal warmth. It is also probably the first time they've met somebody who always wears a leather jacket and a scarf even at the height of summer.

4. Stephen's success as a teacher has been much due to his knowledge of the subject, hasn't it?
5. Why have the students always loved Stephen?
6. I wonder if it is the first time the students have met somebody who wears a leather jacket at the height of summer.

ПЕРЕВОД:Кошка любит лежать на телевизоре и смотреть в окно. Иногда Сюзи лежит на подоконнике, повесив лапу на занавеску, и спит. Иногда она любит поиграть с бумажным мячиком или моими ногами. Больше всех она любит маму.
В году у нашей кошки были котята: два мальчика и три девочки, они все были разноцветные. Когда они родились, то были слепыми и не могли более того ходить. Через месяц котята подросли, открыли глазки и стали бегать по всей квартире. Сюзанна никак не могла собрать их всех сообща. Она мяукала и звала их к себе. Но они подходили к своей маме только тогда, когда хотели кушать. Я очень люблю свою кошку.
НА АНГЛИЙСКОМ:
The cat likes to lie on the TV and look out the window. Sometimes Susie lying on the windowsill, hanging hands on the curtain, and sleeps. Sometimes she likes to play with a paper ball or my legs. Most of all she loves her mother. Last year our cat had kittens, two boys and three girls, they were all colored. When they were born, you were blind and could not walk more. A month later, the kittens grew up, opened his eyes and began to run around the entire apartment. Suzanne could not bring them all together. She mewed and called them to himself. But they came to his mother only when they wanted to eat. I love my cat.

I don't like ghost stories because when I read such stories it seems to me that a ghost walks somewhere in our house or watches me. That's why I don't enjoy reading ghost stories though I understand perfectly well that ghosts don't exist in reality. But still I'm afraid of seeing a ghost at night in my dream after reading a ghost story.
Я не люблю истории о призраках, потому что, когда я читаю такие истории, мне кажется, что призрак где-то ходит по нашему дому и наблюдает за мной. Вот почему я не люблю читать истории о привидениях, хотя я прекрасно понимаю, что призраки не существуют в реальности. Но все же я боюсь увидеть призрака во сне после прочтения рассказа о нём.
