As Tess grew older, and began to see how matters stood, she wished her mother hadnt thoughtlessly given her so many little sisters and brothers, l1 l l. Her mothers way of thinking was that of a happy child: Joan Durbeyfield was simply another in a large family, waiting for help from fate. Every day seemed to throw upon her young shoulders more of the family burdens, and that Tess should be the representative of the Durbeyfields at the dUrberville mansion, was taken for granted She got off the van at Trantridge Cross, and continued on foot up a hill in the direction of the district known as The Chase, on the borders of which, as she had been informed, Mrs dUrbervilles estate, The Slopes, would be found. It was not a manor in the ordinary sense, with fields, and pastures, and a grumbling farmer, out of whom the owner had to squeeze an income for himself and his family bv hook or bv crook. | 3 | | with not an acre of troublesome land attached to it beyond what was required for residential purposes, and for a little fancy farm kept by the owner, and tended by a bailiff . The crimson brick lodge came first in sight, up to its eaves in thick evergreen trees, | 4 | | passing through the side gate with some anxiety, and onward to a turn in the drive, the house itself stood in full view. It was built recently - indeed almost new - and of the same rich red colour as the lodge. Far behind the corner of the house, stretched the soft emerald landscape of The Chase - a truly impressive area of forest land, | 5 | | where mistletoe was still found on aged oaks, and where enormous yew trees had grown since their branches were cut for bows. All of which, however, though visible from The Slopes, was outside of the estate. Everything on this property was bright, thriving, and well kept - acres of greenhouses stretched across the grounds down to the trees. | 6 | | - like the last coin issued from the Mint4. The stables, surrounded by Austrian pine trees and evergreen oaks, and fitted with every modern appliance, were as dignified as a church hall. On the huge lawn stood an ornamental tent, with its door facing her. Simple Tess Durbeyfield stood gazing in apprehension on the edge of the gravel driveway. Her feet had brought her to this point before she had quite realised where she was; | 7 | | . "I thought we were an old family; but this is all new!", she said, in her innocence. She wished that she had not fallen in so readily with her mothers plans for "claiming kin5," and had tried to find assistance nearer home. The dUrbervilles - or Stoke-dUrbervilles, as they at first called themselves - who owned all this, were a somewhat unusual family to find in such an old- fashioned part of the country. Parson Tringham had spoken truly when he said that Tesss father, John Durbeyfield, was the only real descendant of the old dUrberville family existing in the county, or near it. He might have added, what he knew very well, that the Stoke-dUrbervilles were no more dUrbervilles than he was himself. Yet it must be admitted that this family had a good basis upon which to attach a name which sadly needed restoring to a good position.
Помогите переведите на ангийский ячзык!!!!!!!!!Мне нравится жить в нашей стране и я горжусь тем, что родился именно в России!

Помогите на 4 вопроса ответить!!! HAVE YOU READ?.. Childrens writer Michael Morpurgo tells a very enjoyable story. If you have not yet discovered his books, you will be surprised. The Amazing Story of Adolphus Tips, for example, was published earlier this year. Lily Tregenze who is 12, lives on a farm in the village of Slapton with her mother and grandfather. Its 1943, the middle of the Second World War, and her father is away in the army. Lilys life centres on her local school, currently filled with people from London sent to the country for safety, and Tips, her beloved cat. Tips keeps having kittens. But one of Lilys parents always drowns the kittens, to Lilys despair, because they cannot keep and feed a lot of cats. Then, when they have to move to their Uncle Georges farm to make way for the army, Tips disappears. For months it is only the kindness of a young American soldier and his army friend who help Lily search for her cat, that helps her get through the many changes and challenges in her life.
