Английский лорд - артикль определенный,
Он очень строг и знаменит.
Он точно знает все определенно,
И перед этим словом он всегда стоит.

Указывает строго и казенно
На то, что знает, и об этом говорит.
Ох, этот лорд, артикль определенный,
Уж если знает, то не промолчит!

Но есть в стране английской замарашка.
Он лорду этому совсем уж не чета.
Определенно ничего не знает,
И в этом его главная черта.

Определить он ничего не может,
Едва усвоил счет до одного.
Но если полномочья свои сложит,
То англичанин вряд ли нас поймет.

И лорд, и этот замарашка –
Артикли - помните всегда.
И место их определенно
Запомнить надо навсегда!

Какой-то a cat на заборе сидел,
Этот the cat на a mouse глядел.
Эта the mouse кушала cheese
The cat думал: "Может быть
Спрыгнуть мне вниз?”

Живет в лесу a mouse, The mouse has a house.

The house сделан из конфет, На свете лучше дома нет!

A schoolbag, a T-shirt, a paper, a skirt,
A jacket, a lunch box, a walkman, a shirt,

A racket, a toy box, blue shorts, a red hat,
Some comics, a football. What’s this? And what’s that?

Some photos, a skateboard, five glasses, a dress,
A packet of biscuits ... Oh, dear, what a mess!

A plane is faster than a train, A bike is slower than a train.

A duck is bigger than a frog, A cat is weaker than a dog.

I see a boy. He's got a toy.
I see a girl. She's got a doll.

I have a doll, you have a ball. He has a dog, she has a frog.

It has a box, we have a fox. You have a hare, they have a bear.

I have got a cat, I haven’t got a dog. I have got a cat, I haven’t got a frog,

I have got a cat, I haven’t got a hare, I have got a cat, I haven’t got a bear.

It is a bus, it is a trolley-bus,
It is a plane, it is a train.

It is a cat. It is a hat.
It is a car. It is a star.

What's this? It’s a schoolbag. What's that? It’s a pencil.

What's this? It’s a pen. For a pupil I am.

I am a pupil, you are a writer.
She is a teacher, he is a fighter.

This is my father – a busy man He is writing with a pen. This is my brother – a clever boy, He is playing with his toy.

This is my sister – a pretty girl, She is dancing with her doll. This is my cat – a funny pet, It is looking for a rat.

When Jack is a good boy, I’ll buy him a new toy,

When Jack is nice, I’ll give him an ice.

I'm a mouse. I'm a pretty mouse.

I'm a pretty witty mouse. I live in a pretty little house.

Hush, hush, everybody, Let my baby sleep.

He is such a lovely baby When he is asleep.

Parties are such a jolly fun, It’s always such a nice treat,

With funny hats and party games And all best friends to meet.

It’s a wet windy day – it’s raining today.
It’s a cold frosty day – it’s snowing today.

Little drops of water, little grains of sand
Make a mighty ocean and a pleasant land.

Have you got a nice flat On a busy city street?

Or have you got a farmhouse Which is small and sweet?

I like to ride in a bright red tram On a fine and sunny day.

And hear it going clang! clang! clang! When someone is in the way.

You can buy a bathing suit Which is cheap and very good. Buying things is very nice When they have a proper price.

You can have a yellow shirt, And a black and woolen skirt, A brown jacket, brown boots And a lot of leather goods.

Please, give me an orange, An orange, sweet orange.

I don’t like to eat Hot and nasty porridge.

There is a mouse in the house. There is a cat in the flat.

There is a fox in the box. There is a bee in the tree.

There is a rat under the hat, There is a hare in front of the chair, There is a doll near the ball, There is a fox behind the box.

There is a hamster near the wall, There is a puppy in front of the ball, There is a mouse on the floor, There is a cat behind the door.

It's sunny today. What a lovely day! It's warm today. We can walk and play.

It's frosty today. What a nasty day! It's windy today. We can't walk and play.

It’s warm today. Yes, what a lovely day!
It’s cold today. Yes, what a terrible day!

If all the seas were one sea. What a great sea that would be! And if all the trees were one tree What a great tree that would be!

And if all the axes were one axe What a great axe that would be! And if all the men were one man What a great man he would be!

You can order a wine or a punch Or a coffee for your lunch

With a tasty chocolate cake, Eat a salad and a steak.

Delicious fish fingers, a burger with cheese,
A jacket potato – please, have one of these!

A milkshake, a cola, an ice-cream, a pie,
An orange ice lolly – come on, have a try!

At the restaurant where you meet You can have a rest and eat.

Have a menu, call a waitress, Who is pretty like an actress.

Let’s have a walk in the park, Let’s have a drink in the bar,

But if you have a cold, Then stay at home, And let’s have a talk on the phone.

Have a cup of tea, have a piece of bread,
Have a warm shower and go to bed.

I am as hungry as a bear. I wish I had a bite somewhere.

We all would have a bite, We have a good appetite.

I can take a shower, You can take a flower.

We can take a bus – It is waiting for us.

The crocodile thinks his smile
Is even wider than a mile.

I spent a hundred on a hat And fifty on a bag.

I paid a hundred for new boots And fifty for new shoes.
