Everyone's welcome to start reading with me...

[@Annet]

I got email today" English for fun & for everyone". One English learner asked to help her to find online libraries. She wants to read " The secret diary of Adrian Mole...". Well, as far as I know this book is not available to read free online. Really, there's not many good books to read online. I mean those books that are easy to read in English. I've read four books of "A Series Of Unfortunate Events" by Lemony Snicket. I was glued to computer's screen untill I scrolled down last page of fourth book. That was so easy to read, so interesting!!! I don't want to tell what these books are about. If somebody reads my diary, who loves English language, studies it...don't waste time! Go and download Lemony Snicket from FictionBook.lib http://www.fictionbook.ru/ru/author/snicket_lemony/

Of course there are many online libraries that offer classic books. But they are not always easy to read. I want to read some books that were downloaded on my 'puter, but I still don't have enough time to read them. Anyway they are: "Dealing with Dragons" by Patricia Collins Wrede; "Black Beauty" by Anna Sewell; " Little Women" by Louisa May Alcott; " The wonderful Wizard of OZ"; about Robinson and Robin Hood...really a list is very long...

But now I read and copy out "The secret diary of A.M. " why? to share reading this book with my friend...then, typing, I learn to spell words correct. I learn words.

So, I'd like everyone who looks through my diary or reads my silly postings could read this lovely book with me...

I'll call it " STORY TIME". I hope this humorous book touch you as well as it toched me.

Are you ready???

STORY TIME...

The secret diary of Adrian Mole aged 13 3/4





Thursday January 1st

Bank Holiday in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales



These are my New Year’s resolutions:



1. I will help the blind across the road.

2. I will hang my trousers up.

3. I will put the sleeves back on my records.

4. I will not start smoking.

5. I will stop squeezing my spots.

6. I will be kind to the dog.

7. I will help the poor and ignorant.

8. After hearing the disgusting noises from downstairs last night, I have also vowed never to drink alcohol.





My father got the dog drunk on cherry brandy at the party last night. If the RSPCA hear about it he could get done. Eight days have gone by since Christmas Day but my mother still hasn’t worn the green lurex apron I bought her for Christmas! She will get bath cubes next year.

Just my luck, I’ve got a spot on my chin for the first day of the New Year!



Friday January 2nd

Bank Holiday in Scotland. Full Moon.



I felt rotten today. It’s my mother’s fault for singing “My Way” at two o’clock in the morning at the top of the stairs. Just my luck to have a mother like her. There a chance my parents could be alcoholics. Next year I could be in a children’s home.

The dog got its own back on my father. It jumped up and knocked down his model ship, then ran into the garden with the rigging tangled in its feet. My father kept saying, “Three months’ work down the drain,” over and over again.

The spot on my chin is getting bigger. It’s my mother’s fault for not knowing about vitamins.







Saturday January 3rd



I shall go mad through lack of sleep! My father has banned the dog from the house so it barked outside my window all night. Just my luck! My father shouted a swear-word at it. If he’s not careful he will get done by the police for obscene language.

I think the spot is a boil. Just my luck to have it where everybody can see it. I pointed out to my mother that I hadn’t had any vitamin C today. She said,” Go and buy an orange, then.” This is typical.

She still hasn’t worn the lurex apron.

I will be glad to get back to school.







Sunday January 4th

Second after Christmas





My father has got the flu. I’m not surprised with the diet we get. My mother went out in the rain to get him a vitamin C drink, but as I told her, “It’s too late now.” It’s a miracle we don’t get scurvy. My mother says she can’t see anything on my chin, but this is guilt because of the diet.

The dog has run off because my mother didn’t close the gate. I have broken the arm on the stereo. Nobody knows yet, and with a bit of luck my father will be ill for a long time. He is the only one who uses it apart from me. No sign of the apron.







Monday January 5th





The dog hasn’t come back yet. It is peaceful without it. My mother rang the police and gave a desсriрtion of the dog. She made it sound worse than it actually is: straggly hair over its eyes and all that. I really think the police have got better things to do than look for dogs, such as catching murderers. I told my mother this but she still rang them. Serve her right if she was murdered because of the dog.

My father is still lazing about in bed. He is supposed to be ill, but I noticed he is still smoking!

Nigel came round today. He has got a tan from his Christmas holiday. I think Nigel will be ill soon from the shock of the cold in England. I think Nigel’s parents were wrong to take him abroad.

He hasn’t got a single spot yet.
