Презентация "Лимерик" для 6 класса ("Enjoy English")

There was a young lady of Niger,

Who smiled when she rode on a tiger, They returned from the ride,

With the lady inside,

And a smile on the face of the tiger.

Улыбались три смелых девицы

На спине у бенгальской тигрицы. Теперь же все три –

У тигрицы внутри,

А улыбка – на морде тигрицы.

С.Я. Маршак

There was a Young Lady whose nose Continually prospers and grow

When it grew out of sight,

She exclaimed in a fright,

“ Oh, Farewell to the end of my nose!”

Жила была леди, чей нос

Отчего-то всё рос и рос.

Когда кончика стало не видно,

Этой леди стало обидно,

Что не сможет чесать она нос.

The origin of limericks is traditionally connected with the Irish town of Limerick. They were considered to be ‘table songs’ and sung during parties . All of them finished with the invitation to visit Limerick!

Edward Lear (1812-1888)

Edward Lear was a famous English poet. He made limericks popular in the 19 th century. He never called his poems limericks, but ‘poems of nonsense’.

Одна леди, не знаю откуда,  Ее шляпка была просто чудо.  Но размер и цвета  Ей мешали, когда  Выходила, не знаю откуда.

Один старичок из Макао Макал свои туфли в какао, А белый жилет он макал в винегрет. Веселый старик из Макао! 

Наша Пегги безудержно плачет:  В речку Банн уронила свой мячик.  Тише, Пегги, не плачь!  Не утонет твой мяч:  По волнам океана он скачет.

The Plot of a Limerick:

The 1st line – who and where ;

The 2nd line – what he/she did or what happened to him/her ;

The 3rd – 4th lines – the result of the event ; The 5th line – the repetition of the 1st line .
