The boy stood over the body."The Teacher says, 'Good day to you,'" he whispered.Hiding in the back of the car, the cameraman took some photos. Thenhe quietly climbed out of the car and disappeared into the trees.A few minutes later, another vehicle arrived. The door opened andthree soldiers climbed out. A tall, well-dressed African man followed them and walked slowly toward the stadium. The United Nations Building, New York The main hall was full of people. Ambassadors from around the worldand their assistants were listening to the Spanish Ambassador's speech. The interpreters sat in glass booths above them, repeating his words into Chinese, Russian, French, Arabic...Outside the hall, U.N. Security Chief Lee Wu spoke to AssistantChief Rory Robb: "There's a security problem at the main entrance. Put the Secretary-General in the safe room. Take the Spanish Ambassador out of the building, then get everybody out."A U.N. guard came into the English interpreters' booth as SilviaBroome finished interpreting the Spanish Ambassador's words into English."Can you leave the building quickly, please?" the guard said.Silvia, a tall woman of about thirty, with long fair hair and clear blueeyes, picked up her coat but left her music case in the booth."I'm teaching a student tonight," she said. "This bag's heavy and Idon't want to take it downstairs. I'll get it later."The U.N. security officers worked quickly and emptied the building.Then they took the Spanish Ambassador outside to his car.Rory Robb watched the large black car drive through the U.N. gates.He used his radio to call his chief."The Spanish Ambassador has left the U.N.," he said. "He's in theU.S. again."Silvia spent the next few hours in a restaurant with a group of otherinterpreters. It was nine o'clock at night when she returned to the U.N.building. She didn't see anyone as she ran upstairs.She opened the door to the interpreters' booth and picked up hermusic case. Suddenly, she heard a man's voice."The Teacher will never leave this room," he whispered. He wasspeaking in Ku, the language of Matobo.Silvia turned on a light and looked at her desk. One of themicrophones in the hall below was still switched on. As the booth lit up, the man stopped talking. Quickly, Silvia switched off the light, but it was too late. She couldn't see him, but he could see her.She was shaking as she left the booth and ran down the stairs. Sheheard footsteps, then a door opened and closed. Someone was following her. She ran into the nearest room - the men's restroom - and hid behind the door. The footsteps came nearer and stopped outside. Silvia pressed her back against the wall. Then, slowly, the footsteps moved away.At the same time, on the other side of town, Secret Service AgentTobin Keller, a tall, thin man with tired, sad brown eyes, was sitting alone in a bar. He sat there for a long time, then he went to the pay phone in the corner of the room and called his apartment.A woman's voice on the answering machine said, "You've reached theKeller's. We're out having a good time. Please leave a message." It was his wife's voice.He put more money into the pay phone and called the number again.And again. And again.

THE INTERPRETER  CHAPTER ONEThe Voice in the DarkMatobo, AfricaThe hot sun burned down on the small town. An old wooden sign above the road was shaking in the strong wind. The words on it were unclear now, but it read: WELCOME PRESIDENT EDMOND ZUWANIE.The car moved slowly down the road. The driver was a black African man. Next to him, a fair-haired white man was writing a list of names in a blue notebook. Another white man with long, dark hair sat in the back seat, holding two cameras."She refused to tell me her husband's name," the white man in the front seat shouted above the noise of the wind."The names of the dead are bad luck," the driver replied."Zuwanie murdered half the town. Can their luck get worse?"The driver slowed the car. "He can murder the other half."The fair-haired white man put a gun and a new notebook into his bag.He and the driver climbed out of the car."Stay here," the driver said to the cameraman.Slowly, the two men walked across the street toward a large, old stadium.  Outside, two boys kicked a ball around the dry, brown grass.One of the boys shouted to the two men."They want to show us the bodies," the driver said.The boys took the men into a room inside the stadium. There was astrong smell of death. The men covered their noses and told the boys to gooutside. In the dark corners of the room, they could see piles of bodies onthe floor. "XOLA NOW!" was written in blood on the walls.They started to check the bodies. They recognized some of the dead and found the names of others from the papers in their pockets. The white man pulled the notebook out of his bag and started to write.Suddenly, there was a shout from one of the boys outside."Somebody's coming!" the white man said.The two men ran out into the bright sunlight. There was nobody outside - only the two boys. Slowly, one boy lifted a gun and shot the black African in the chest. Then he turned to the white man and shot him in the stomach.The white man fell to his knees."It's OK," he said quietly. "It's OK." It was the last thing that he ever said.

The Death Of A Government Clerkby Anton ChekhovFULL TEXT - https://lnnk.in/iidJONE fine evening, a no less fine government clerk called Ivan Dmitritch Tchervyakov was sitting in the second row of the stalls(партере), gazing (смотря) through an opera glass at the Cloches de Corneville. He gazed and felt at the acme of bliss(на пике блаженства). But suddenly. . . . In stories one so often meets with this "But suddenly." The authors are right: life is so full of surprises! But suddenly his face puckered up(сморщилось), his eyes disappeared, his breathing was arrested . . . he took the opera glass from his eyes, bent over and . . . "Aptchee!!" he sneezed as you perceive. It is not reprehensible (предосудительно) for anyone to sneeze anywhere. Peasants sneeze and so do police superintendents, and sometimes even privy councillors. All men sneeze. Tchervyakov was not in the least confused, he wiped his face with his handkerchief, and like a polite man, looked round to see whether he had disturbed any one by his sneezing. But then he was overcome with confusion. He saw that an old gentleman sitting in front of him in the first row of the stalls was carefully wiping his bald head and his neck with his glove and muttering something to himself. In the old gentleman, Tchervyakov recognised Brizzhalov, a civilian general serving in the Department of Transport."I have spattered(забрызгал) him," thought Tchervyakov, "he is not the head of my department, but still it is awkward. I must apologise."Tchervyakov gave a cough, bent his whole person forward, and whispered in the general's ear."Pardon, your Excellency, I spattered you accidentally. . . .""Never mind, never mind.""For goodness sake excuse me, I . . . I did not mean to.""Oh, please, sit down! let me listen!"Tchervyakov was embarrassed, he smiled stupidly and fell to gazing at the stage. He gazed at it but was no longer feeling bliss. He began to be troubled by uneasiness. In the interval, he went up to Brizzhalov, walked beside him, and overcoming his shyness, muttered(пробормотал):"I spattered you, your Excellency, forgive me . . . you see . . . I didn't do it to . . . .""Oh, that's enough . . . I'd forgotten it, and you keep on about it!" said the general, moving his lower lip impatiently."He has forgotten, but there is a fiendish(дьявольский) light in his eye," thought Tchervyakov, looking suspiciously(подозрительно) at the general. "And he doesn't want to talk. I ought to explain to him . . . that I really didn't intend . . . that it is the law of nature or else he will think I meant to spit(плевать) on him. He doesn't think so now, but he will think so later!"On getting home, Tchervyakov told his wife of his breach(нарушение) of good manners. It struck him that his wife took too frivolous a view of the incident; she was a little frightened, but when she learned that Brizzhalov was in a different department, she was reassured(успокоилась)."Still, you had better go and apologise," she said, "or he will think you don't know how to behave in public.""That's just it! I did apologise, but he took it somehow queerly(странно) . . . he didn't say a word of sense. There wasn't time to talk properly."FULL TEXT - https://lnnk.in/iidJ

FULL TEXT - https://lnnk.in/dsidFat And Thinby Anton ChekhovTwo friends -- one a fat man and the other a thin man -- met at the Nikolaevsky station. The fat man had just dined in the station and his greasy lips shone like ripe(спелый) cherries. He smelt of sherry and fleur d'orange. The thin man had just slipped out of the train and was laden(нагруженный) with portmanteaus, bundles, and bandboxes. He smelt of ham and coffee grounds (кофейная гуща). A thin woman with a long chin, his wife, and a tall schoolboy with one eye screwed up (подбитый) came into view behind his back."Porfiry," cried the fat man on seeing the thin man. "Is it you? My dear fellow! How many summers, how many winters!""Holy saints!" cried the thin man in amazement. "Misha! The friend of my childhood! Where have you dropped from?"The friends kissed each other three times, and gazed(смотрели) at each other with eyes full of tears. Both were agreeably astounded(пораженный)."My dear boy!" began the thin man after the kissing. "This is unexpected! This is a surprise! Come have a good look at me! Just as handsome as I used to be! Just as great a darling and a dandy! Good gracious me! Well, and how are you? Made your fortune? Married? I am married as you see. . . . This is my wife Luise, her maiden name was Vantsenbach . . . of the Lutheran persuasion(вероисповедания). . . . And this is my son Nafanail, a schoolboy in the third class. This is the friend of my childhood, Nafanya. We were boys at school together!"Nafanail thought a little and took off his cap."We were boys at school together," the thin man went on. "Do you remember how they used to tease you? You were nicknamed Herostratus because you burned a hole in a schoolbook with a cigarette, and I was nicknamed        because I was fond of telling tales. Ho--ho! . . . we were children! . . . Don't be shy, Nafanya. Go nearer to him. And this is my wife, her maiden name was Vantsenbach, of the Lutheran persuasion. . . ."Nafanail thought a little and took refuge(укрылся) behind his father's back."Well, how are you doing my friend?" the fat man asked, looking enthusiastically at his friend. "Are you in the service? What grade have you reached?""I am, dear boy! I have been a collegiate assessor(оценщик) for the last two years and I have the Stanislav. The salary is poor, but that's no great matter! The wife gives music lessons, and I go in for carving wooden cigarette cases in a private way. Capital cigarette cases! I sell them for a rouble each. If any one takes ten or more I make a reduction of course. We get along somehow. I served as a clerk, you know, and now I have been transferred here as a head clerk in the same department. I am going to serve here. And what about you? I bet you are a civil councillor by now? Eh?""No dear boy, go higher than that," said the fat man. "I have risen to privy councillor (тайный советник) already . . . I have two stars."The thin man turned pale and rigid(бледный и жесткий) all at once, but soon his face twisted in all directions in the broadest smile; it seemed as though sparks were flashing from his face and eyes. He squirmed(корчился), he doubled together, crumpled up(мялся). . . . His portmanteaus, bundles and cardboard boxes seemed to shrink and crumple up too. . . . His wife's long chin grew longer still; Nafanail drew himself up to attention and fastened all the buttons of his uniform."Your Excellency, I . . . delighted! The friend, one may say, of childhood and to have turned into such a great man! He--he!"FULL TEXT - https://lnnk.in/dsid

DOC FILE https://lnnk.in/fhdOA Blunder (big mistake)by Anton ChekhovILYA SERGEITCH PEPLOV and his wife Kleopatra Petrovna were standing at the door, listening greedily (жадно). On the other side in the little drawing-room a love scene was apparently (по-видимому) taking place between two persons: their daughter Natashenka and a teacher of the district school, called Shchupkin."He's rising!" whispered Peplov, quivering(дрожа) with impatience and rubbing his hands. "Now, Kleopatra, mind; as soon as they begin talking of their feelings, take down the ikon from the wall and we'll go in and bless them. . . . We'll catch him. . . . A blessing with an ikon is sacred and binding(священный и обязывающий). . . He couldn't get out of it, if he brought it into court."On the other side of the door this was the conversation:"Don't go on like that!" said Shchupkin, striking a match against his checked trousers. "I never wrote you any letters!""I like that! As though I didn't know your writing!" giggled(хихакала) the girl with an affected shriek(пораженный крик), continually peeping (подсматривая) at herself in the glass. "I knew it at once! And what a queer(странный) man you are! You are a writing master, and you write like a spider! How can you teach writing if you write so badly yourself?""H'm! . . . That means nothing. The great thing in writing lessons is not the hand one writes, but keeping the boys in order. You hit one on the head with a ruler, make another kneel down. . . . Besides, there's nothing in handwriting! Nekrassov was an author, but his handwriting's a disgrace(позор), there's a specimen (образец) of it in his collected works.""You are not Nekrassov. . . ." (A sigh). "I should love to marry an author. He'd always be writing poems to me.""I can write you a poem, too, if you like.""What can you write about?""Love -- passion -- your eyes. You'll be crazy when you read it. It would draw a tear (выбить слезу) from a stone! And if I write you a real poem, will you let me kiss your hand?""That's nothing much! You can kiss it now if you like."Shchupkin jumped up, and making sheepish(озорные) eyes, bent over the fat little hand that smelt of egg soap."Take down the ikon," Peplov whispered in a fluster(в смятении), pale with excitement, and buttoning his coat as he prodded (подтолкнул) his wife with his elbow. "Come along, now!"And without a second's delay Peplov flung open(распахнул) the door."Children," he muttered(пробормотал), lifting up his arms and blinking tearfully(слезливо моргая), "the Lord bless you, my children. May you live -- be fruitful -- and multiply.""And -- and I bless you, too," the mamma brought out, crying with happiness. "May you be happy, my dear ones! Oh, you are taking from me my only treasure!" she said to Shchupkin. "Love my girl, be good to her. . . ."Shchupkin's mouth fell open with amazement and alarm. The parents' attack was so bold(смелый) and unexpected that he could not utter(произнести) a single word."I'm in for it! I'm spliced(married)!" he thought, going limp (обмякнуть) with horror. "It's all over with you now, my boy! There's no escape!"And he bowed(наклонил) his head submissively(покорно), as though to say, "Take me, I'm vanquished(побежден).""Ble-blessings on you," the papa went on, and he, too, shed tears. "Natashenka, my daughter, stand by his side. Kleopatra, give me the ikon."READ MORE IN THE DOC FILEhttps://lnnk.in/fhdO

FATHER'S RAGE ENGLISH PODCAST S 02 Ep 36SOPHIA AMORUSOSophia Amoruso is an American businesswoman who was the former CEO of Nasty Gal and founder of GIRLBOSS. Growing up, she wasn't a very happy kid. Doctors thought she had Tourette's syndrome. Later, she was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and depression.However, none of this hindered her will. She opened a lemonade stand at 9 years and read many books about startups as a teenager. In addition, she dropped out of college but held a full-time job. By the age of 22, she had worked 10 different jobs.She opened an eBay shop to work in her spare time and shipped her products with the tips she earned in photography class. Over time, she developed an eye for product selection. She got two Chanel jackets at a yard sale for $8 and sold them on eBay for $3000.Later on, she built her own site and sold her products from there. Her company was doing well, and she was in the Forbes 30 under 30 list. Of course, things couldn't always be smooth. Since she lacked the management skills to run the company, things took a turn for the worse. The company entered bankruptcy proceedings; lawsuits followed. Hence, she resigned as the CEO but kept a senior executive post. Despite all these downfalls, she didn't let her situation dampen her spirits. She published her autobiography titled GIRLBOSS. The book was on the New York Times bestseller list for 18 weeks straight!Her story has many more twists and turns, but they all tell us the same thing. Never give up. 

FATHER'S RAGE ENGLISH PODCAST S 02 Ep 35J K ROWLINGWhether you love her or hate her, her story has inspired millions. J. K. Rowling is a British author, film producer, television producer, philanthropist, and screenwriter. She is one of the most successful authors of the century. She created a famous fantasy non-fiction series called Harry Potter. It is because of her work that many of us can create an escape from this chaotic world. You may know the story of ‘the boy who lived' but few know about the woman behind the story. Joanne Rowling taught English in Portugal, was a single mother, and at one point she was on the verge of being homeless. In addition, she struggled with depression. She incorporated all the struggles she faced in the most brilliant ways throughout the Harry Potter series. From the failed relationship with her father to the death of a mother, each element of her life gave her an element to add to her book. It took her five years from when she first thought of the idea of Harry Potter on the train to when she finished the first book. She turned all those dark and depressing moments in her life into something magical (pun intended).

FATHER'S RAGE ENGLISH PODCAST S 02 Ep 34ROBIN WILLIAMSIf you're not familiar with who Robin Williams is - he is an American actor and comedian. He worked on masterpieces like Good Will Hunting, Dead Poets Society, and many more.He may have grown up having a privileged life, but he missed out on a key aspect of childhood. His parents were never home, and they always left him with the family maid. He would entertain himself by creating silly voices and characters locked in his bedroom. Through his jokes and putting on shows for his bullies in school, he made friends. He won an acting scholarship to the most prestigious school in the country. While studying, he performed as a mime to earn money. He was depressed and desperate. One day, he found a flyer for a comedy workshop and turned up with no expectations. Standing alone on stage took him back to when he would entertain his bullies. Finally, he let out the silly voices, and the crowd loved him!He is the ideal example of finding humor in the darkest of times, always making people laugh. He dedicated his life to making those around him always smile. Robin Williams teaches us how empathy comes from a deep place of sadness. We can use that to empower others by just bringing a smile to their faces.
