LISTENING COMPREHENSION VARIANT 45
Twins Kate and Ann Petrova are twins. They are schoolgirls. The twins are very much alike, and their teachers never know which is which.
One day the teacher of English said, “Kate Petrova, take your book and come up to my table!” But Kate didn’t learn the lesson. She couldn’t read the text. So she said to her sister, “Help me, Ann! I don’t know the lesson. I can’t read the text. Go and read it!”
Ann agreed. She stood up and went to the teacher’s table. She read the text very well. She got an excellent mark for it.
Ann took her seat. The girls were glad. But the teacher wanted to ask Ann Petrova, too. So she said, “Ann, take your book and read the text!” And the teacher looked at Kate. Kate had to go and show her knowledge. The twins didn’t know what to do. But Kate couldn’t let down her sister. So the girl said in a whisper, “I will be glad, but my throat is ill and it is difficult for me to speak.” Ann was surprised.
