Task 3: Read the excerpt below and – give it a title ……. ……. ……. We went tiptoeing along a path amongst the trees back towards the end of the widow´s garden, stooping down so as the branches wouldn´t scrape our heads. When we was passing by the kitchen I fell over a root and made a noise. We scrouched down and laid still. Miss Watson´s big nigger, named Jim, was setting in the kitchen door; we could see him pretty clear, because there was a light behind him. He got up and stretched his neck out about a minute, listening. Then he says: ‘‘Who dah?‘‘

From Old Times on the Mississippi. When I was a boy there was but one permanent ambition among my comrades in our village on the west bank of the Mississippi River. That was to be a steamboatman. We had transient ambitions of other sorts but they were only transient. When a circus came and went, it left us all burning to become clowns; the first Negro minstrel show that ever came to our section left us all suffering to try that kind of life; now and then we had a hope that, if we lived and were good, God would permit us to be pirates. These ambitions faded out, each in its turn; but the ambition to be a steamboatman always remained.

Kromě uvedeného lexikálního cvičení – doplňování vhodných výrazů – a cvičení čtení s porozuměním nabízí rozšíření povědomí o osobnostech literatury anglicky mluvících zemí a o různých aspektech historie a kultury v těchto zemích. Především pak poskytuje možnost seznámit se v ukázkách se stylem psaní daného autora. Vybízí též k aktivní práci s textem ve formě překladu do češtiny a porovnání s uměleckým překladem či převedení do dnešní podoby angličtiny. Je užitečné, předchází-li jednotlivým aktivitám brainstorming – umožňuje ověřit, co žáci již znají, nabídnout, co mohou očekávat, podpořit kreativitu, soutěživost a týmovou práci. Obrázků lze využít nejen k ilustraci daného jevu, ale také k popisu a porovnání.
