19. Retell the story of Roger's "narrow escape" using your active vocabulary, word combinations, phrases and patterns: a) as Ruth Barlow sees it: she is, certainly, bewildered and even indignant; use proper intonation means to convey her attitude to Roger and his conduct; b) as Roger tells it to a friend of his in a confidential way; he is greatly relieved; express his attitude by using proper intonation means; c) from the point of view of the lady next door to Ruth Barlow's who pretends to sympathize with Ruth and disapprove of Roger's behaviour, but, in fact, hugely enjoys the situation; use adequate intonation patterns to convey her attitudes.
20. Discuss the events of the story in dialogues as they would be treated by: a) Ruth Barlow and a lady friend of hers: b) Roger and the narrator of the sto ry. Use proper intonation means in the stimuli and responses to convey proper attitudes.

21. Reread Text Two to answer the following questions on its style and com position.
A) In what way does the story begin? Is the reader's interest awakened at once? If so, how does the author achieve it?
B) What is gained by telling-the story in the first person? From whose point of view is it told? Point out the passages reflecting the narrator's attitude, Roger's and the author's. Is the author detached in his attitude to Ruth? Prove your point.
C) Is the plot an important feature of the story? Indicate briefly the stages by which the narrative is unfolded.
d) Does the story end as the reader expects? Point out passages aiming at sus pense.
E) Is the title appropriate? Does it reflect the point of the story?
f) What words and phrases give atmosphere to the story in descriptions of human appearance, characters, human relations? (Make up lists.)
g) Do you regard "The Escape" as a typical specimen of Somerset Maugham's prose? Read the following to answer the question:
The qualities of Somerset Maugham are not at all elusive. An innate dramatic sense enables him to write sound, solidly constructed novels that never fail to interest the reader. His prose is clean and hard and is always marked by a precision that is rare in contemporary 
writing. Passion and lyricism are not evident but in their place the reader will find a superbly controlled irony and a brilliant wit. Transforming the commonplace into art, he produced a long, distinguished list of plays, short stories and novels that will never cease 
перестать to give the greatest of pleasure.

PROFESSION-ORIENTED QUESTIONS AND ACTIVITIES
I. Listen to your fellow-student's reading of the words given in Ex. 2. Correct\ the mistakes, should he make them.
II. As your fellow-students read out Ex. 3, write down their mistakes, analyse them and make all the necessary corrections.
III. Listen attentively to your fellow-students' reading of Ex. 5 and write down their mistakes. What recommendations will you give them if they make mistakes in assimilation, strong and weak forms and intonation-group division?
IV. Obviously the short story can be regarded as a most suitable literary genre for foreign-language learning. Brevity is a significant point, because it allows the
<55>
