Read and translate the text. Do the tasks that follow it How to Educate a Child Gerry was ten years old when he and his family left England to go and live on the Greek island of Corfu. Hardly had we settled into the Strawberry-pink Villa when Mother decided that I was running wild, and that it was necessary for me to have some sort of education. But where to find this one on a remote Greek island? As usual when a problem arose, the entire family flung itself with enthusiasm into the task of solving it. Each member had his or her own idea of what was best for me. “Plenty of time for him to learn,” said Leslie; “after all he can read, can’t he? I can teach him to shoot, and if we buy a boat I can teach him to sail.” “But, dear, that wouldn’t really be much use to him later on.” Mother pointed out adding vaguely, “unless he was going into the Merchant Navy or something.” “I think it’s essential that he should learn to dance,” said Margo, “or else he’ll grow up into one of these awful tongue-tied idiots.” “Yes, dear, but he doesn’t need to learn that sort of thing till later. He should get some sort of grounding in things like mathematics and French ... and his spelling’s awful.” “Literature,” said Larry, with conviction, “that’s what he wants, a good solid grounding in literature. The rest will follow naturally. I’ve been encouraging him to read some good stuff.” “But don’t you think Rabelais is a little old for him?” asked Mother doubtfully. “What he wants is a healthy outdoor life; if he takes up shooting and sailing”, began Leslie. “Oh, stop talking like a bishop … you’ll be in favour of cold baths next.” “Now, now, there’s no sense in fighting,” said Mother. “Gerry needs educating, and what we want is someone who can teach him and who’ll encourage him in his interests.” “He appears to have only one interest,” said Lair bitterly, “and that’s this awful urge to fill things with animal life. I don’t think he ought to be encouraged in that. I went to light a cigarette only this morning, and a great bumble-bee flew out of the box.” “It was a grasshopper with me,” said Leslie gloomily “Yes, I think this sort of thing ought to be stopped,” said Margo. “He doesn’t mean any harm, poor little chap,” said Mother pacifically. “I wouldn’t mind being attacked by bumble-bees, if it led anywhere,” Larry pointed out. ‘But it’s just a phase ... he’ll grow out of it by the time he’s fourteen.” “He’s been in this phase from the age of two,” said Mother, “and he’s showing no signs of growing out of it.” “Well, if you insist on stuffing him full of useless information, George can have a shot at teaching him,” said Larry. “That’s a brain-wave!” said Mother delightedly. 2.
