TEXT 5
When John Milton, the great English poet, became a student of Cambridge University in
1625, he already knew Latin very well after seven years of studying it as his second language al
school in London. Like all English boys who prepared for university in school he learned not
only to read Latin but also to speak and write it. That was necessary because all textbooks were
in Latin, university lectures were also given in Latin.
It was difficult to learn Latin, but the schoolboys worked hard. To remember the rules of
the language, they tried to learn them by heart, often in verse. When they began to read easy
Latin, they learned the nouns and the verbs. They first made a word for word translation and
then an idiomatic translation into English. Then they translated their English text into Latin
without using the book, and after that they compared their translation with the Latin text. The
teacher always "helped" them with a ruler in his hand.
After some years of study, eight hours a day, five days a week, the boys began to imitate
Latin authors they read, and they even began to compose verses in Latin. Milton was already a
poet at ten and his verses were better than the verses of the other boys. In the fifth year at school
the boys began to study Greek, to translate Greek into Latin, and to compose prose and poems in
Greek.
Good knowledge of English was necessary too. First the hoys composed prose and verses in
English and then they translated them into Latin.
During the seven years which Milton spent at the university he learned Latin very well and
used it. He wrote Latin poetry, which was published in 1645. He even made some speeches in
Latin, which were also published.

TEXT 6
Lewis Carroll
Lewis Carroll was the pen-name of Charles L. Dodgson, the man who wrote a famous book
for children "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland".
Charles L. Dodgson was born in England in 1832. He got his early education at a public
school. Then he became a student at Oxford. Charles studied mathematics and later taught this
subject in the same college.
Charles Dodgson had no family, but he loved children very much. He often visited his
friend Mr. Liddell, who had a large family. There were three little girls in the family. One of
them, Alice, was four years old, Dodgson liked Alice very much and he often told her interesting
stories which he made up himself.
Charles told Alice Liddell about the adventures of a little girt, and she liked the stories very
much. When Alice Liddell was about ten years old, she asked Charles to write down the stories
for her, and he did so.
He called the heroine of his book also Alice. This hand-written book had many pictures
made by Charles himself. They were not very good pictures but the children liked them.
One day a friend of the I.iddells, a writer, came to see the family. He saw the hand-written
book made by Charles Dodgson and began to read it with great interest. He read the book to the
end and said that it was good and that ail the children in England must read it. Charles decided to
publish the book but he did not want to do it under his own name. So he took the pen-name of
Lewis Carroll.
The book came out in 1865 and all the people who read it liked it very much, Later the
book was published in the United Slates, in France and in Germany. The first Russian
transition of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" came out in 1923. In England the book was
published very many limes during the author's life and you can always find it in the bookshops
of today. "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" is still a favorite children's book.
