III. Summary (рассказать, о чем текст; 3-5 предложения без косвенной речи)
The given text is a good report of the pedagogical activities of the rookie (неопытный) teacher who was assigned to work in a British Boarding school. A custom existed to rag on a new teacher. The first time he starts. But the teacher turned out to be smarter and he put them off.
IV. he main body is comprised of the analysis.
The language of the extract is rather intensive and pretty complicated. The author uses the language which makes his ideas easy to understand.
In the 1st paragraph we run across a Boarding School which essentially a British notion and means a place where students live on campus.
For example students were struggling to their places which means they were moving in disorder).
The atmosphere of the extract is extremely tense. This effect is archived by using such words as "quiet, orderly", ect. They are employed to stress the feeling that quietness is only on the surface but nervousness is inside.
Describing the teacher's feelings (state) J.Hilton employs a lot of bookish words which are in contrast with the situation which gives a shade of irony to it. There are some cases о interior and indirect speech. (He wonder if the fool of him supposing...)
These devices allow the reader to peep into (проникать) the inner world of the main character, his thoughts and fears.
In the epilogue Speed talks to Clamber, a college of his. There are also a lot of official words in Clambers speech (..., official notes). The author employs these words to stress the fact that Clamber is both envious and a bit frustrated.
The situation in the text reveals the problem of relationship between a teacher and pupils, the importance of being passionate and tolerant.
The author in general successfully conveys the characteristic feathers of the main character. He employs the stylistic devices that are aimed at describing the emotions, experienced by young teacher who deals with the young audience. James Hilton uses some metaphors (He was eager for the stop to break...). This metaphor is used to stress Speed's nervousness (... execution wake up Clamber). This metaphor is used to emphasize Clamber's attitude and might bring the effect of irony.
There are a lot of similes in the text. They are also used to reflect Speed's feelings.
A stream of epithets (a number of epithets) 'passionate year', 'trifling', 'bright' is used to make the text to life. A detached construction 'in hot indignation' stresses the boy's feelings. A hyperbole 'to go off into hysterics of laughter' reveals the atmosphere in the class. "You have a hundred lines' is a typical case of metonymy.

J. Hilton employs such a stylistic device as allusion to military, theater, legal terms.
Military: powder-magazine (порох.бочка), weapon, armoury (арсенал, склад оружия),
recoil (откат);
Theater: first night, star benefit performance, subdued expectancy; Legal: assembly, penalty, plead for.
It gives us a notion that a teacher's profession is like a battle and performance, court at the same time.
V. Conclusion.
To sum it up we arrive at a conclusion that S.Hilton skillfully depicts the incident in the class-room in particular and teacher's work in general. The main idea is that a teacher must be calm, tolerant and considerate.
The text is impressive with its humorous and realistic description of the atmosphere and of the teacher's feelings.
In the author's opinion life is tough for teachers in Great Britain and all teachers deserve high praise and estimation.
