12
Little Jack Horner sat in a corner, eating his Christmas pie.
13
He put in his thumb and pulled out a plum and said,
14
What a good boy am I.
15
According to the facts, the history of this little rhyme goes back to 16th century London.
16
Jack Horner was the servant of a city official on his way to deliver a Christmas present to King Henry VIII.
17
In those days, it was a custom,
18
when bringing presents to the king,
19
to put them in a pie.
20
And these presents, as Jack Horner knew,
21
were usually something of great value.
22
And since Jack was a bit of a knave,
23
he stuck in his thumb and pulled out a plum.
24
Which happened to be the deed to a valuable estate.
25
When King Henry sent for the city official,
26
he hurried to court expecting some special favor in return for his present.
27
And we can be sure that King Henry let him have it.
28
And as for Jack Horner,
29
he took up residence on his stolen estate where he lived happily ever after.
30
Unless, of course, he was haunted by a certain nursery rhyme that became surprisingly popular at that time.
31
Little Jack Horner sat in a corner, eating a Christmas pie.
32
Put in his thumb, pulled out a plum,
33
said what a good boy am I.
34
Jack Horner, Jack Horner, Jack Horner!
35
Mary, Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow?
36
With silver bells and cockle shells and pretty maids all in a row.
37
The Mary in this old rhyme was Mary Stuart,
38
Queen of Scotland, who came from France to take over the throne of Scotland,
39
bringing with her the gay French ways,
40
extravagant tastes and a love of frivolity.
41
Such conduct was frowned upon by the dour Scots,
42
who believed in preserving the stern dignity of the court.
43
and therefore Mary was considered quite contrary.
44
The silver bells refer to the elaborate decoration on her dresses,
45
and her love of exotic foods,
46
such as cockles, account for the cockle shells,
47
and the pretty maids all in a row were her ladies-in-waiting.
48
But behind this playful little rhyme lies one of the most sinister and tragic stories in all history.
49
Four years after her arrival in Scotland,
50
she married Lord Darnley, a selfish weakling,
51
who Mary soon came to despise.
52
And the beautiful queen turned her attentions to a French poet,
53
who lost his head completely when the dour Scots interfered.
54
Then followed a romance with the court musician.
55
But this too ended on a tragic note,
56
when the infuriated Darnley interfered.
57
Then came the Earl of Bothwell.
58
And the end of Lord Darnley.
59
And three weeks later, Mary and Bothwell were married.
60
Now Mary was considered much too contrary,
61
and the outraged Scots rose against her,
62
forced her abdication, and sent her to the island prison of Loch Levin.
63
After a few months, Mary's irresistible charms so captivated the jailer's son,
64
that he risked his life to help her escape.
65
Then, in an attempt to regain the throne,
66
Mary organized a sizable army,
67
which was defeated after a violent battle.
68
Oh dear.
69
and she fled to England to take refuge with her cousin, Queen Elizabeth.
70
But Elizabeth became jealous of Mary's great popularity.
71
This dazzling beauty had become the darling of the court and a rival for the crown and must be eliminated.
72
Mary, Mary!
73
Although Mary was warned of the danger,
74
she was still contrary and went her merry way.
75
This was her fatal mistake.
76
and she was accused and condemned as a traitor to the government.
77
But Mary refused to plead for mercy and remained quite contrary to the end.
78
Mary, Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow?
79
With silver bells and cockle shells And pretty maids all in a row

London Bridge is falling down Falling down,
81
falling down London Bridge is falling down My fair lady
82
The history behind this famous nursery song is the story of old London Bridge.
83
A story which begins in 1176
84
when it was decided to build a permanent bridge of stone to unite north and south London.
85
After the bridge was finished in 1209,
86
it was sanctified by the addition of a beautiful two-story chapel over the central pier.
87
And rows of elaborately designed houses were added over the length of the bridge,
88
transforming the plain Gothic structure into a thing of such picturesque beauty
89
that it was acclaimed one of the wonders of the world.
90
The street floors were rented to merchants who did a bustling business,
91
drawing their customers from the tide of traffic coming and going over the bridge.
92
The upper stories of the bridge houses were elaborately furnished apartments with projecting bay windows and rooftop balconies,
93
where residents could enjoy the invigorating air off the river and contemplate the spectacular view.
94
Little wonder that Hans Holbein and William Hogarth,
95
and many other famous painters,
96
chose to live on London Bridge.
97
On one occasion, a tournament was held on the bridge,
98
and spectators crowded every available space to watch two knights prove their courage in glorious combat.
99
The Earth, Jack.
100
He ran into damage.
101
Number 6 is finished the curvecraft brass instance.
102
London Bridge was often the scene of spectacular displays and lavish celebrations,
103
which marked great moments in English history.
104
While living on London Bridge was both grand and glamorous,
105
there were times when it was equally hazardous.
106
Now and then, a cargo ship would break away from its moorings,
107
and a bowsprit would come crashing through a window.
108
The greatest threat to the bridge and its inhabitants was fire.
109
One such disaster occurred in 1666,
110
when a fire started in the king's bakery in Pudding Lane.
111
At first, it was of little consequence.
112
Then, suddenly, a strong east wind spread the fire beyond control.
113
And it swept across the city and onto the bridge.
114
This was
115
the famous Great Fire of London,
116
which reduced the world's largest city to a vast panorama of ashes
117
and charred rubble and left London Bridge a bare and blackened ruin.
118
During the reconstruction of London the bridge houses were rebuilt and its endless tide of humanity returned.
119
But as the centuries passed London Bridge began to feel its age.
120
A lot of water had passed under the old bridge, undermining its foundations.
121
The intense heat of the fires had dangerously weakened its arches,
122
and heavy timbers braced the tottering houses,
123
as violent tremors ran throughout the whole structure.
124
The once magnificent bridge, which had been the pride of London and proclaimed as one of the wonders of the world,
125
was declared a public nuisance and was ridiculed in rhyme and song.
126
Finally, on July the 4th,
127
1823, the death warrant of the old bridge was signed,
128
and it was demolished.
129
And a new bridge was built in its place,
130
the London Bridge, which stands today.
131
But the original London Bridge still lives on in the famous Old Nursery Song.
132
London Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down.
133
London Bridge is falling down, my fair lady.
134
Shake and quake, old London Bridge Have a ball till your arches fall Jump and drive,
135
old London Bridge My fair lady And that's the truth about Mother Goose The whole truth?
136
The absolute historical truth?
137
Well, as far as we know That's the truth about Mother Goose Now you've solved the mystery That's all we know,
138
that's all this show We'll close our book of history.

Что такое техника Shadowing?
Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
