Μαργαριτάρια
Σάββατο 3 Μαρτίου 2007
Διαβάζοντας το προηγούμενο post της montresor θυμήθηκα κάτι μαργαριτάρια από γραπτές εξετάσεις μαθητών στις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες, τα οποία είχα βρει στην εφημερίδα ELT NEWS (τεύχος Οκτωβρίου 2005). Σας τα παραθέτω για να γελάσει κάθε πικραμένος.
- The inhabitants of ancient Egypt were called mummies. They lived in the Sarah Dessert and travelled by Camelot. The Egyptians built the pyramids in the shape of a huge triangular cube. (καινούριο γεωμετρικό σχήμα αυτό!)
- The pyramids are a range of mountains between Spain and France.
- The Greeks invented three kinds of columns; Corinthian, Doric and Ironic.
- The Greeks also had myths. A myth is a female moth. (ζντόινκ!)
- In the Olympic Games, Greeks ran races, jumped, threw the java and hurled biscuits (άμα αντιγράφεις και δεν καλοβλέπεις κιόλας αυτά παθαίνεις). The reward to the victor was a coral wreath. (τι κοράλι, τι ελιά, το ίδιο κάνει!)
- There were no wars in Greece as the mountains were so high that they couldn’t climb over to see what their neighbors were doing.
- In the midevil times most people were alliterate. The greatest writer of the time was Saucer who wrote many poems and verses but he also wrote literature.
- Another tale tells of William Tell, who shot an apple through an arrow while standing on his son’s head.
- Gutenberg invented the Bible.
- The great writer of the Renaissance was William Shakespear. He lived at Windsor with his merry wives (ντάξει μη βαράτε, με τον Henry τον μπέρδεψε), writing tragedies, comedies and errors.
- Writing at the same time as Shakespear was Miguel Cervantes, who wrote the Donkey Hote!!!
- Τhe next great author was John Milton. Milton wrote Paradise Lost. Then his wife died and he wrote Paradise Regained.
- One of the causes of the revolutionary War was that the English put tacks in the tea. ( εδώ μπερδεύτηκα! tacks in the sea ή tax on the tea;)
- Abraham Lincoln became America’s greatest precedent. He only wore a tall silk hat. He said: “ In onion there is strength”. He also freed the slaves by signing the Emasculation Proclamation and the 14th Amendment gave the ex-negroes citizenship.
- Victoria was the longest queen. She sat on a thorn for 63 years. (καλά και δεν της τσιμπούσε τον κ*λο;)
* Έχω και ελληνικά μαργαριτάρια, από διαγωνίσματα Ιστορίας, θα τα βάλω άλλη φορά.

τραγικό απλά...
Ελπίζω να με αξιώσει ο θεός να συναντηθούμε μια μέρα. Συνεχίστε έτσι. Και μην ξεχνάτε τους γνωστούς στίχους του μεγάλου λαικού άσματος στυ στράτου :
Tης Γυναίκας μου η γιαγιά είναι από την ανάβυσσο
