What’s It Like Being Queen?

Private Secretary- личный секретарь

Paperwork- канцелярская работа

Ambassador- посол

Bishop- епископ

   Being Queen is a really busy job. Elizabeth II gets up early and begins the day by looking through the newspapers. Then she reads letters from the public (she gets more than 1,000 each week), and tries to answer them all. The queen has daily meetings with her Private Secretary who helps her to go through her paperwork, and lots of meetings with ambassadors, new judges, and bishops.

   In the afternoon Elizabeth II often goes out on public meetings-- she gets thousands of invitations each year. She opens new hospitals, bridges and factories.

   Being Queen is not a 9 to 5 job, and Elizabeth II has to work from early in the morning until late at night. And people watch her all the time.

   Of course, she has some free time, and some private life, but less than most people.

   In her free time Elizabeth II enjoys horse racing, fishing, and walking in the countryside. She also enjoys photography and likes taking photos on her travels.

   It is remarkable that there is one Queen in the UK, but she has two birthdays. The Queen celebrates her actual birthday on April 21st , which she spends with her friends and family. She also celebrates her official birthday in June.

Script:

   Swift, the famous English writer, was traveling on horseback with his servant. The weather was bad. It was raining and the roads were muddy.

   It was getting dark and the two men decided to stop in a hotel. Before going to bed Swift asked his servant to clean his boots, as they were very dirty.

   But the servant was very lazy and did not do what his master had said.

   When Swift saw his dirty boots the next morning, he asked the servant why he had not cleaned them. The servant answered that he had not done it because they would soon become dirty again.

   “The weather is bad, the roads are muddy. What is the use of cleaning the boots now?” said the servant.

   Swift didn’t say anything. He told his servant to get ready to start at once. The servant looked very displeased because he had not eaten his breakfast yet.

   “We’ll go without any breakfast,” said Swift. “What is the use of eating now? You will soon be hungry again,” he added.
