SPEAKING PRACTICE - 40 STORIES TO RETELL @Aslanovs Lessons

 
 
STORY 39. 
When the Americans were getting ready to send their first men to the moon, an old Irishman was 
watching them on television in the bar of a hotel. There was an Englishman in the bar too, and he said to the 
Irishman, ‘The Americans are very clever, aren’t they? They’re going to send some men to the moon. It’s a 
very long way from our world.’ ‘Oh, that’s nothing,’ the Irishman answered quickly. ‘The Irish are going to 
send some men to the sun in a few months’ time. That’s much farther away than the moon, you know.’ The 
Englishman was very surprised when he heard this. ‘Oh, yes, it is,’ he said, ‘but the sun’s too hot for people to 
go to.’ The Irishman laughed and answered, ‘Well, the Irish aren’t stupid, you know. We won’t go to the sun 
during the day, of course. We’ll go there during the night.’
 
 
STORY 40. 
Dave’s class at school were studying English history, and one day their teacher said to them, 
‘Well, boys, on Friday we’re all going to get on a bus and go to Conway. There’s a beautiful castle there, and 
we’re going to visit it.’ The boys were very happy when they heard this. ‘Now, has anybody got any 
questions?’ the teacher asked. ‘How old is the castle, sir?’ Dave asked. ‘It’s about seven hundred years old, 
Dave,’ the teacher answered. ‘What’s the name of the castle, sir?’ another boy asked. ‘Conway Castle,’ the 
teacher said. On Friday the boys came to school at 9 o’clock and got into the bus. They visited Conway Castle, 
and then they came back and went home. ‘Well,’ Dave’s mother said to him when he got home, ‘Did you like 
the castle, Dave?’ ‘Not very much,’ Dave answered. ‘The stupid people built it too near the railway.’
