UNIT 30
CHILDHOOD MEMORIES
Сorrect the text .
Story 1
I used to like to do well just to see the look of happiness on my dad’s face. He’d say ‘Pet, it’s like a tonic to me when you do well – I don’t know how I have such pretty children. But I never felt I was pushed too hard. If I did bad, he’d just say ‘Well, what will it matter a thousand years from now that you failed your History exam!
Story 2
Whatever I did was just never quite good enough. I wasn’t very clever as a child – I used to get attacks of asthma, so I couldn’t do PE or sports. Well, anyway when I was eleven I was so thrilled because I was put in the second eleven for football. I was sure he’d be displeased. Do you know what he said? ‘Second team? When I was your age I was in the first for cricket, tennis, and hockey.’ I felt so crushed, I just crawled away and shouted - in private, of course.
Story 3
Our house was seldom open to whoever came around. You’d never know how many people would sit down to a meal. My relatives were always inviting people in, and my cousins and I brought friends from college. They used to love coming to our house because they were made so welcome. There were no petty rules, and as long as we tidied they didn’t object to what we did. We called a lot of my parents’ friends ‘Dad’ or ‘Mum’ so-and-so. We never used to know who were our real friends. But what was so funny for us kids was that we grew up surrounded by a lot of adults, not just our parents, so we heard what they had to say, and they listened to us as well.
Story 4
I think it started out of sheer boredom – I mean – they gave me every material benefit, extra money any time I asked; I had my own brand new BMW when I was sixteen. I wanted for nothing except their money – I mean – they were always so angry, always getting dressed up to go somewhere, and so wrapped up in each other. I really don’t know why they had children. They always said I was a problem. Anyway I started hanging about with this bunch of ‘yobbos’ and they said ‘Do it’ and I thought ‘Why not? Who knows?’
Story 5
They finally split up when I was five. It’s one of my memories – my dad seating me on his knee and saying, ‘mummy and daddy have decided to live in different countries and I want you to decide which house you want to be in. Can you imagine asking a child of four? I hadn’t a clue what to say, but my very much elder brother was standing behind him mouthing, ‘Say “mum”, say “mum”. So I did and I never met my dad again except once when I was about ten – from the top of a double-decker train. At least I think it was him – I’m sure it was, that time – only I still keep thinking I see him all over the place. I’ve had four step-fathers – it’s the same.
Story 6
She was like a lake of calm, nothing ruffled her, she never had time. Me and the others would be scrapping about something, and she’d say ‘OK, OK let’s calm down, let’s go back to the end and sort it out – so we did, and it was sorted out!’ I think of this school friend of mine, she fell off her motorbike and completely smashed her teeth. She didn’t cry because she was hurt, but because her mother was so particular about her face. She said, ‘She’d kill me, she thinks I have such lively teeth!’ I thought ‘Gosh! – how weird, I couldn’t bear it if my mother was like this!’ In fact this friend came to me first and she rang and told her mum what had happened to her. Fancy not being able to go to your mum!
