Anton Pavlovich Chekhov

Foolish Frenchman

The clown from the Ginz brothers' circus, Henry Purkua, went to the Testov tavern in Moscow to have breakfast.

Give me a consommé! - he ordered the sex worker.

Would you like to order with poached or without poached?

No, it's too satisfying with poached ... Two or three croutons, perhaps, give it ...

While waiting for the consommé to be served, Purqua began to watch. The first thing that caught his eye was some plump, handsome gentleman who was sitting at the next table and getting ready to eat pancakes.

"How, however, a lot is served in Russian restaurants!" Thought the Frenchman, watching as a neighbor poured hot butter on his pancakes. "Five pancakes! How can one person eat so much dough?"

Meanwhile, the neighbor anointed the pancakes with caviar, cut them all into halves and swallowed them in less than five minutes ...

Chelaek! - he turned to the sex. - Serve another portion! What kind of portions do you have? Give me ten or fifteen at once! Give me a balyk ... salmon, or something!

"Strange ... - thought Purkua, examining his neighbor.

I ate five pieces of dough and asks for more! However, such phenomena are not uncommon ... I myself had an uncle François in Brittany, who ate two bowls of soup and five lamb cutlets for a bet ... They say that there are also diseases when they eat a lot ... "

The sex worker put a mountain of pancakes and two plates with balyk and salmon in front of the neighbor. The good-looking gentleman drank a glass of vodka, ate some salmon and set to work on pancakes. To Purqua's great surprise, he ate them in a hurry, barely chewing, like a hungry ...

"Obviously sick ..." thought the Frenchman. "And is he, an eccentric, imagining that he will eat this whole mountain? He will not eat even three pieces, as his stomach will already be full, and in fact he will have to pay for the whole mountain!"

Give me some more caviar! - shouted a neighbor, wiping his oily lips with a napkin. - Don't forget the green onions!

“But ... however, half of the mountain is gone!” The clown was horrified. , but he cannot stretch beyond the belly ... If we had this gentleman in France, he would have been shown for money ... God, there is no longer a mountain! "

Will you serve a bottle of Nui ... - said the neighbor, taking caviar and onions from the genital - Just warm it up first ... What else? Perhaps give me another portion of pancakes ... Hurry, just ...

Listen ... And after the pancakes, what do you want?

Something easier ... Order a portion of the villager from sturgeon in Russian and ... and ... I'll think, go!

“Maybe I’m dreaming?” The clown was amazed, leaning back in his chair. “This man wants to die. You cannot eat such a mass with impunity. seems suspicious that he eats so much?

Purkua called the man who was serving at the next table to him and asked in a whisper:

Listen, why are you giving him so much?

That is, uh ... uh ... they demand, sir! How not to serve, sir? - the sexual one was surprised.

Strange, but in this way he can sit here until evening and demand! If you yourself do not have the courage to refuse him, then report to the maitre d ', invite the police!

The gentoo grinned, shrugged, and walked away.

"Savages!" The Frenchman was indignant to himself. "They are still glad that there is a madman at the table, a suicide who can eat for an extra ruble! Nothing that a man would die, there would only be a profit!"

The orders, there is nothing to say! - grumbled a neighbor, referring to the Frenchman.

I am terribly annoyed by these long intermissions! From portion to portion, if you please wait half an hour! That way, your appetite will go to hell and you will be late ... It's three o'clock, and by five I have to be at the anniversary dinner.

Pardon, monsieur, - Purkua turned pale, - you are already dining!

No-no ... What kind of lunch is this? This is breakfast ... pancakes ...

Then a villager was brought to a neighbor. He poured himself a plate full of cayenne pepper and began to sip ...

"Poor fellow ... - the French continued to be horrified. - Either he is sick and does not notice his dangerous state, or he does all this on purpose ... with the intent of suicide ... My God, I know that I will stumble here on such a picture, I would never have come here! My nerves cannot stand such scenes! "

And the Frenchman regretfully began to examine the face of his neighbor, every minute expecting that he was about to begin convulsions, which Uncle François always had after a dangerous bet ...

"Apparently, he is an intelligent, young man ... full of strength ..." he thought, looking at his neighbor. "Perhaps he benefits his fatherland ... and it is quite possible that he has a young wife, children ... Judging by his clothes, he must be rich, contented ... but what makes him decide to take such a step? .. And could he really not have chosen another way to die? The devil knows how cheap life is! And how low, inhuman I, sitting here and not going to help him! Perhaps he can still be saved! "

Purkua got up resolutely from the table and walked over to his neighbor.

Listen, monsieur, - he addressed him in a quiet, insinuating voice. - I have no honor to know you, but nevertheless, believe me, I am your friend ... Can I help you with something? Remember, you are still young ... you have a wife, children ...

I do not understand! - the neighbor shook his head, staring at the Frenchman.

Ah, why be secretive, monsieur? After all, I can see perfectly! You eat so much that ... it's hard not to suspect ...

I eat a lot?! - the neighbor was surprised. -- I AM?! Completeness ... How can I not eat if I haven't eaten anything since the morning?

But you eat an awful lot!

Why, it's not you who should be paid! What are you worried about? And I don't eat much at all! Look, I eat like everyone else!

Purkua looked around him and was horrified. The sexes, pushing and flying over each other, wore whole mountains of pancakes ... People sat at the tables and ate mountains of pancakes, salmon, caviar ... with the same appetite and fearlessness as the noble gentleman.

"Oh, wonderland! - thought Purqua, leaving the restaurant. - Not only the climate, but even their stomachs do wonders for them! Oh, country, wonderful country!"

Spring rain

I didn't want to learn my lessons yesterday. There was such a sun outside! Such a warm little yellow sun! Such branches swayed outside the window! .. I wanted to reach out and touch each sticky green leaf. Oh, how your hands will smell! And the fingers stick together - you can't pull them apart ... No, I didn't want to learn my lessons.

I went outside. The sky above me was fast. Clouds were hurrying over it somewhere, and sparrows were chirping terribly loudly in the trees, and a big fluffy cat was basking on the bench, and it was so good that it was spring!

I walked in the courtyard until the evening, and in the evening mom and dad went to the theater, and I, without having done my homework, went to bed.

The morning was dark, so dark that I didn't want to get up at all. This is always the case. If it's sunny, I immediately jump up. I dress quickly, quickly. And coffee is delicious, and mom does not grumble, and dad jokes. And when the morning is like today, I barely dress, my mother urges me on and gets angry. And when I eat breakfast, my dad makes comments to me that I am sitting crookedly at the table.

On the way to school, I remembered that I had not done a single lesson, and this made me even worse. Without looking at Lyuska, I sat down at my desk and took out my textbooks.

Vera Yevstigneevna came in. The lesson began. They will call me now.

- Sinitsyna, to the blackboard!

I shuddered. Why should I go to the blackboard?

- I haven’t learned, ”I said.

Vera Evstigneevna was surprised and gave me a bad mark.

Why is my life so bad ?! I'd rather take it and die. Then Vera Evstigneevna will regret giving me a bad mark. And mom and dad will cry and say to everyone:

"Oh, why did we go to the theater ourselves, but we left her all alone!"

Suddenly they pushed me in the back. I turned around. They put a note in my hands. I unrolled a long narrow paper ribbon and read:

“Lucy!

Do not despair !!!

Deuce is nothing !!!

You will fix the deuce!

I will help you! Let's be friends with you! Only this is a secret! Not a word to anyone !!!

Yalo-kvo-kyl ".

It was as if something warm had been poured into me right away. I was so happy that I even laughed. Lyuska looked at me, then at the note and proudly turned away.

Did someone write this to me? Or maybe this note is not for me? Maybe she's Lyuska? But on the back there was: LYUSE SINITSYNOY.

What a wonderful note! I have never received such wonderful notes in my life! Of course, a deuce is nothing! What are you talking about?! I'll just fix it!

I read twenty times again:

"Let's be friends with you ..."

Well, of course! Of course, let's be friends! Let's be friends with you !! Please! Very happy! I love it terribly when they want to be friends with me! ..

But who writes this? Some kind of YALO-KVO-KYL. An incomprehensible word. I wonder what it means? And why does this YALO-KVO-KYL want to be friends with me? .. Maybe I'm still beautiful?

I looked at my desk. There was nothing beautiful.

He probably wanted to be friends with me, because I'm good. What, am I bad, or what? Of course it's good! After all, no one wants to be friends with a bad person!

To celebrate, I nudged Lyuska with my elbow.

- Lyus, and one person wants to be friends with me!

- Who? - Lyuska asked at once.

- I don’t know who. It is somehow incomprehensibly written here.

- Show me, I'll sort it out.

- Honestly, won't you tell anyone?

- Honestly!

Lyuska read the note and curled her lips:

- Some fool wrote! Couldn't tell my real name.

- Or maybe he is shy?

I looked around the whole class. Who could have written the note? Well, who? .. It would be nice, Kolya Lykov! He's the smartest in our class. Everyone wants to be friends with him. But I have so many triplets! No, it’s unlikely.

Or maybe it was Yurka Seliverstov who wrote it? .. No, we are already friends with him. He would have sent me a note for no reason!

At recess, I went out into the corridor. I stood at the window and waited. It would be nice if this YALO-KVO-KYL made friends with me right now!

Pavlik Ivanov left the classroom and immediately went to me.

So Pavlik wrote this? Only this was not enough yet!

Pavlik ran up to me and said:

- Sinitsyna, give me ten kopecks.

I gave him ten kopecks to get him off the hook as soon as possible. Pavlik immediately ran to the sideboard, and I remained at the window. But nobody else came up.

Suddenly Burakov began to walk past me. It seemed to me that he was looking at me in a strange way. He stopped beside him and began to look out the window. So Burakov wrote the note ?! Then I'd better leave right away. I can't stand this Burakov!

- The weather is awful, - said Burakov.

I didn’t have time to leave.

- Yes, the weather is bad, ”I said.

- The weather cannot be worse, ”said Burakov.

- Terrible weather, ”I said.

Then Burakov took an apple out of his pocket and bit off half with a crunch.

- Burakov, give me a bite, - I could not resist.

- And it is bitter, - said Burakov and went down the corridor.

No, he didn't write the note. And thank God! You will not find the second such greedy person in the whole world!

I looked after him contemptuously and went into class. I walked in and was stunned. On the blackboard was written in huge letters:

SECRET!!! YALO-KVO-KYL + SINITSYNA = LOVE !!! NOT A WORD TO ANYONE!

Lyuska was whispering with the girls in the corner. When I entered, they all stared at me and began to giggle.

I grabbed a rag and rushed to dry the board.

Then Pavlik Ivanov jumped up to me and whispered in my ear:

- I wrote this note for you.

- You're lying, not you!

Then Pavlik laughed like a fool and shouted to the whole class:

- Oh, hilarious! Why be friends with you ?! All freckled like a cuttlefish! Stupid tit!

And then, before I had time to look back, Yurka Seliverstov jumped up to him and hit this blockhead with a wet rag right on the head. Pavlik howled:

- Ah well! I'll tell everyone! I'll tell everyone, everyone, everyone about her, how she gets the notes! And I'll tell everyone about you! You sent her a note! - And he ran out of the class with a stupid cry: - Yalo-kvo-kyl! Yalo-kvokyl!

The lessons are over. Nobody came up to me. Everyone quickly collected their textbooks, and the class was empty. Kolya Lykov and I remained alone. Kolya still could not tie the lace on his boot.

The door creaked. Yurka Seliverstov stuck his head into the classroom, looked at me, then at Kolya and, without saying anything, left.

But what if? What if Kolya wrote it all the same? Is it really Kolya ?! What happiness if Kolya! My throat immediately went dry.

- Kohl, tell me, please, - I barely squeezed out of myself, - it's not you, by chance ...

I didn’t finish, because I suddenly saw Colina’s ears and neck become flushed.

- Oh you! - said Kolya, not looking at me. - I thought you ... And you ...

- Kolya! I shouted. - So I ...

- You are a chatterbox, that's who, - said Kolya. - Your tongue is like a pomelo. And I don’t want to be friends with you anymore. What else was missing!

Kolya finally coped with the lace, got up and left the classroom. And I sat down in my place.

I'm not going anywhere. It's raining so badly outside the window. And my fate is so bad, so bad, that it can't get worse! So I will sit here until the night. And I will sit at night. One in a dark classroom, one in the whole dark school. Serves me right.

Aunt Nyura came in with a bucket.

- Go home, dear, ”said Aunt Nyura. - At home, the mother was tired of waiting.

- Nobody was waiting for me at home, Aunt Nyura, - I said and trudged out of the class.

Bad fate of mine! Lyuska is no longer my friend. Vera Evstigneevna gave me a bad grade. Kolya Lykov ... I didn't even want to remember Kolya Lykov.

I slowly put on my coat in the locker room and, barely dragging my feet, went out into the street ...

It was wonderful, the best spring rain in the world on the street !!!

Cheerful wet passers-by ran down the street with their collars up !!!

And on the porch, right in the rain, was Kolya Lykov.

- Come on, ”he said.

And we went.

Living flame

Aunt Olya looked into my room, found me again at the papers and, raising her voice, said imperiously:

Will write something! Go get some air, help to cut the flower bed. Aunt Olya took out a birch bark box from the closet. While I was happily kneading my back, beating the damp earth with a rake, she sat down on the heap and arranged the bags of flower seeds into different varieties.

Olga Petrovna, what is it, - I notice, - you are not sowing poppies in the flower beds?

Well, what is the color of the poppies! - she answered with conviction. - It's a vegetable. It is sown in the beds along with onions and cucumbers.

What do you! I laughed. - Another old song is sung:

And her forehead, like marble, is white. And her cheeks burn like poppies.

It only happens in color for two days, - Olga Petrovna persisted. - This is not suitable for a flower bed, he puffed and immediately burned out. And then all summer this same beater sticks out and only spoils the view.

But I still secretly poured a pinch of poppy into the very middle of the flower bed. After a few days, she turned green.

Have you sowed the poppies? - Aunt Olya approached me. - Oh, you are such a mischievous person! So be it, I left the top three, I felt sorry for you. And the rest were weeded out.

Suddenly I left on business and did not return until two weeks later. After a hot, exhausting road, it was pleasant to enter the quiet old house of Aunt Olya. The freshly washed floor felt cool. A jasmine bush growing under the window dropped a lace shadow on the writing table.

Pour kvass? she suggested, looking at me sympathetically, sweaty and tired. - Alyoshka was very fond of kvass. Sometimes he himself bottled and sealed

When I was renting this room, Olga Petrovna, looking up at the portrait of a young man in flight uniform that hangs above the desk, asked:

Not prevent?

What do you!

This is my son Alexey. And the room was his. Well, you settle down, live in good health.

Serving me a heavy copper mug with kvass, Aunt Olya said:

And your poppies have risen, they have already thrown away the buds. I went to look at the flowers. In the center of the flower bed, above all the floral diversity, my poppies rose, throwing out three tight, heavy buds towards the sun.

They blossomed the next day.

Aunt Olya went out to water the flower bed, but returned immediately, thundering with an empty watering can.

Well, go look, they bloomed.

From a distance, the poppies looked like lighted torches with tongues of flame living cheerfully blazing in the wind. A light wind slightly swayed them, the sun pierced the translucent scarlet petals with light, which caused the poppies to flare up with a tremulous-bright fire, then filled with a thick crimson. It seemed that one had only to touch - they would immediately scorch!

The poppies were on fire for two days. And at the end of the second day they suddenly crumbled and went out. And immediately the lush flowerbed was empty without them.

I picked up a petal from the ground, still quite fresh, in drops of dew, and spread it in my palm.

That's all, ”I said loudly, with a feeling of admiration that had not yet cooled down.

Yes, it burned out ... - Aunt Olya sighed, as if for a living creature. - And somehow I didn’t pay attention to this poppy before ... His life is short. But without looking back, lived through in full force. And it happens with people ...

I now live on the other side of the city and occasionally stop by to see Aunt Olya. I recently visited her again. We sat at a summer table, drank tea, shared news. And a large carpet of poppies blazed on the flower bed nearby. Some crumbled, dropping petals to the ground, like sparks, others only opened their fiery tongues. And from below, from the moist earth full of vitality, more and more tightly folded buds rose to prevent the living fire from extinguishing.

Extreme case

And so Ivan reached Berlin, carrying freedom on his mighty shoulders. In his hands was an inseparable friend - an automatic machine. In the bosom - the edge of the mother's bread. So he saved the edge to Berlin.

On May 9, 1945, the defeated Nazi Germany surrendered. The guns fell silent. The tanks stopped. The air raid signals went off.

It became quiet on the ground.

And people heard the wind rustling, grass growing, birds singing.

At this hour, Ivan got to one of the Berlin squares, where a house set on fire by the Nazis was still burning down.

The square was empty.

And suddenly a little girl came out of the basement of the burning house. She had thin legs and a face darkened from grief and hunger. Stepping unsteadily on the sun-drenched asphalt, helplessly stretching out her hands as if she were blind, the girl went to meet Ivan. And so small and helpless she seemed to Ivan on the huge empty, as if extinct, square that he stopped, and his heart was gripped by pity.

Ivan took out a precious edge from his bosom, squatted down and handed the girl some bread. The edge has never been so warm. So fresh. I have never smelled so much of rye flour, fresh milk, and kind mother's hands.

The girl smiled, and her slender fingers clutched at the hem.

Ivan carefully lifted the girl from the scorched earth.

And at that moment the terrible, overgrown Fritz - the Red Fox - looked out from around the corner. What was it to him that the war was over! Only one thought was spinning in his dim fascist head: "Find and kill Ivan!"

And here he is, Ivan, in the square, here is his broad back.

Fritz - Red Fox pulled out a filthy pistol with a crooked muzzle from under his jacket and fired treacherously from around the corner.

The bullet hit Ivan in the heart.

Ivan shuddered. He staggered. But he did not fall - he was afraid to drop the girl. I just felt the heavy metal pouring into my legs. Boots, cloak, face became bronze. Bronze - a girl in his arms. Bronze - a formidable machine gun behind mighty shoulders.

A tear rolled from the girl's bronze cheek, hit the ground and turned into a glittering sword. The bronze Ivan took hold of its handle.

Shouted Fritz - Red Fox from horror and fear. The burnt wall trembled with a scream, collapsed and buried him underneath ...

And at that very moment the edge that remained with the mother also became bronze. The mother understood that she was in trouble with her son. She rushed into the street, ran where her heart led.

People ask her:

Where are you in a hurry?

To my son. My son is in trouble!

And they brought her up in cars and on trains, on steamships and on airplanes. Mother quickly got to Berlin. She went out to the square. I saw the bronze son - her legs gave way. Mother fell to her knees, and she froze in her eternal grief.

Bronze Ivan with a bronze girl in his arms still stands in the city of Berlin - is visible to the whole world. And if you look closely, you will notice a bronze edge of the mother's bread between the girl and Ivan's broad chest.

And if enemies attack our homeland, Ivan will come to life, carefully put the girl on the ground, raise his formidable machine gun and - woe to the enemies!

Grandma

The grandmother was fat, wide, with a soft, melodious voice. "She has filled the whole apartment with herself! .." - Borkin's father grumbled. And his mother timidly objected to him: "Old man ... Where can she go?" “I got caught up in the world ...” sighed my father. “She has a place in the invalid home - that's where!”

Everyone in the house, not excluding Borka, looked at the grandmother as a completely superfluous person.

Grandma slept on the chest. All night she tossed heavily from side to side, and in the morning she got up before everyone else and rattled dishes in the kitchen. Then she woke up her son-in-law and daughter: “The samovar is ripe. Get up! Drink something hot on the track ... "

She approached Borka: "Get up, my father, it's time to go to school!" "Why?" - Borka asked in a sleepy voice. “Why go to school? The dark man is deaf and dumb - that's why! "

Borka hid his head under the blanket: "You go, grandma ..."

In the entryway, my father shuffled with a broom. “Where did you, mother, put your galoshes? Every time you poke at all corners because of them! "

Grandma was in a hurry to help him. “Yes, here they are, Petrusha, in plain sight. Yesterday they were very dirty, I washed them and put them on. "

Borka came from school, threw a coat and a hat on his grandmother's hands, threw a bag with books on the table and shouted: "Grandma, eat!"

The grandmother hid her knitting, hastily set the table and, crossing her arms on her stomach, watched Borka eat. During these hours, somehow unwittingly, Borka felt his grandmother as his close friend. He willingly told her about the lessons, comrades. The grandmother listened to him lovingly, with great attention, saying: “Everything is good, Boryushka: both good and bad are good. A bad person makes him stronger, a good soul blooms in him. "

After eating, Borka pushed the plate away from him: “Delicious jelly today! Did you eat, grandma? " “I ate, ate,” the grandmother nodded. “Don't worry about me, Boryushka, thank you, I'm well fed and healthy.”

A comrade came to Borka. The comrade said: "Hello, grandmother!" Borka cheerfully nudged him with his elbow: “Come on, let's go! You don't have to say hello to her. She is an old woman with us. " The grandmother tugged at her jacket, straightened her handkerchief and quietly moved her lips: "To offend - what to hit, to caress - you need to look for words."

And in the next room, a friend said to Borka: “And they always greet our grandmother. Both ours and strangers. She is our main one. " "How is it - the main one?" - Borka got interested. “Well, the old one ... raised everyone. She must not be offended. And what are you with yours? Look, father will be warmed up for this. " “It won't get warm! - Borka frowned. - He himself does not greet her ... "

After this conversation, Borka often asked the grandmother for no reason: "Are we offending you?" And he told his parents: "Our grandmother is the best, but lives the worst - no one cares about her." The mother was surprised, and the father was angry: “Who taught you to judge your parents? Look at me - it's still small! "

The grandmother, smiling softly, shook her head: “You fools, you should be happy. For you, the son is growing! I have outlived mine in the world, and your old age is ahead. What you kill, you will not return. "

* * *

Borka was generally interested in grandma's face. There were various wrinkles on this face: deep, fine, thin as strings, and wide, dug over the years. “Why are you so painted? Very old? " He asked. The grandmother thought about it. “By wrinkles, my dear, human life, like a book, can be read. Grief and need have signed here. She buried her children, cried - wrinkles lay on her face. I endured need, struggled - again wrinkles. My husband was killed in the war - there were many tears, many wrinkles remained. Big rain and that digs holes in the ground. "

Borka listened and looked in the mirror with fear: how little he howled in his life - could his whole face be tightened with such threads? “You go, grandma! He grumbled. - You always talk nonsense ... "

* * *

Recently, the grandmother suddenly hunched over, her back became round, she walked quieter and kept sitting down. “It grows into the ground,” the father joked. “Don't laugh at the old man,” the mother was offended. And she said to my grandmother in the kitchen: “What is it, you, mother, are you moving around the room like a turtle? You will send you for something and you will not wait back. "

My grandmother died before the May holiday. She died alone, sitting in a chair with knitting in her hands: an unfinished sock lay on her knees, a ball of thread on the floor. She was apparently waiting for Borka. There was a ready-made device on the table.

The next day, the grandmother was buried.

Returning from the yard, Borka found his mother sitting in front of an open chest. Junk was piled on the floor. It smelled of stale things. The mother took out the crumpled red shoe and gently smoothed it out with her fingers. “Mine is still,” she said, and bent low over the chest. - My..."

At the very bottom of the chest, a box rattled - the same treasured one into which Borka always wanted to look. The box was opened. The father took out a tight package: it contained warm mittens for Borka, socks for his son-in-law and a sleeveless jacket for his daughter. They were followed by an embroidered shirt made of old faded silk - also for Borka. In the very corner lay a bag of candy, tied with a red ribbon. Something was written on the packet in big block letters. The father turned it over in his hands, screwed up his eyes and read aloud: "To my grandson Boryushka."

Borka suddenly turned pale, snatched the package from him and ran into the street. There, sitting down at someone else's gates, he gazed at grandma's scribbles for a long time: "To my grandson Boryushka." There were four sticks in the letter "w". "I have not learned!" - thought Borka. How many times did he explain to her that there are three sticks in the letter "w" ... And suddenly, as if alive, a grandmother stood in front of him - quiet, guilty, who had not learned her lesson. Borka looked around in confusion at his house and, holding a bag in his hand, wandered down the street along someone else's long fence ...

He came home late in the evening; his eyes were swollen with tears, fresh clay stuck to his knees. He put Babkin's little bag under his pillow and, covering his head with a blanket, thought: "Grandma won't come in the morning!"

Tatiana Petrosyan

A note

The note had the most harmless appearance.

In it, according to all gentlemanly laws, an ink face and a friendly explanation should have been found: "Sidorov is a goat."

So Sidorov, not suspecting that he was thin, instantly unfolded the message ... and was dumbfounded. Inside it was written in large, beautiful handwriting: "Sidorov, I love you!" In the roundness of his handwriting, Sidorov thought it was a mockery. Who wrote this to him? Squinting, he looked around the classroom. The author of the note was bound to reveal himself. But the main enemies of Sidorov this time for some reason did not grin maliciously. (As they usually grinned. But this time - no.)

But Sidorov immediately noticed that Vorobyov was looking at him without blinking. It doesn't just look like that, but with meaning!

There was no doubt: she wrote the note. But then it turns out that Vorobyova loves him ?! And then Sidorov's thought came to a dead end and began to hammer helplessly, like a fly in a glass. WHAT DOES LOVE MEAN ??? What consequences will this entail and how can Sidorov be now? ..

"Let's reason logically," Sidorov reasoned logically. "What, for example, do I love? Pears! I love - it means I always want to eat ..."

At this moment, Vorobyova turned back to him and licked her lips bloodthirsty. Sidorov froze. He was struck by her long not trimmed ... well, yes, real claws! For some reason, I remembered how in the buffet Vorobyova eagerly gnawed on a bony chicken leg ...

“We need to pull ourselves together,” Sidorov pulled himself together. (Hands turned out to be dirty. But Sidorov ignored the little things.) “I love not only pears, but also my parents. However, there can be no question of eating them. Mom. bakes sweet pies. Dad often wears me around his neck. And I love them for that ... "

Then Vorobyova turned around again, and Sidorov thought with longing that he would now have to bake sweet cakes for her for a day and a day and wear her around his neck to school in order to justify such a sudden and crazy love. He looked closely and found that Vorobyova was not thin and it would be difficult to wear her.

"All is not lost yet," Sidorov did not give up. "I also love our dog Bobik. Especially when I train him or take him out for a walk ..." and then he will take you out for a walk, holding tightly to the leash and not allowing you to deviate either to the right or to the left ...

"... I love the cat Murka, especially when you blow right into her ear ..." Sidorov thought in despair, "no, that's not that ... I like to catch flies and put them in a glass ... but that's too much ... I love toys that you can break and see what's inside ... "

The last thought made Sidorov feel bad. There was only one salvation. He hastily tore out a sheet of paper from his notebook, compressed his lips resolutely and in a firm hand wrote out the menacing words: "Vorobyova, I love you too." Let her get scared.

Hans Christian Andersen

Match Girl

How cold it was that evening! It was snowing and dusk deepened. And the evening was the last of the year - New Year's Eve. In this cold and dark time, a little beggar girl walked through the streets, bare-headed and barefoot. True, she came out of the house shod, but was there much use in huge old shoes?

These shoes were worn by her mother before - that was how big they were - and the girl lost them today when she ran across the road, frightened by two carriages, which were racing at full speed. She never found one shoe, the other was dragged away by some boy, saying that it would make an excellent cradle for his future children.

The little girl was now walking barefoot, and her legs turned red and blue from the cold. There were several packs of sulfur matches in the pocket of her old apron, and she was holding one pack in her hand. She didn’t sell a single match that day, and she didn’t get a penny. She wandered hungry and chilled and was so exhausted, poor thing!

Snowflakes sat on her long blond curls, which were beautifully scattered over her shoulders, but she really did not even suspect that they were beautiful. Light poured from all the windows, the street smelled deliciously of fried goose - it was New Year's Eve. That's what she was thinking!

Finally, the girl found a corner behind the ledge of the house. Then she sat down and cowered, tucking her legs under her. But it became even colder for her, and she did not dare to return home: after all, she did not manage to sell a single match, she did not save a penny, and she knew that for this her father would beat her; besides, she thought, it's cold at home too; they live in the attic, where the wind blows, although the largest cracks in the walls are plugged with straw and rags. Her hands were completely numb. Oh, how the light of a small match would warm them! If only she dared to pull out a match, strike it against the wall and warm her fingers! The girl timidly pulled out one match and ... a teal! How the match flared, how brightly it lit up!

The girl covered it with her hand, and the match began to burn with an even light flame, like a tiny candle. Amazing candle! The girl thought she was sitting in front of a large iron stove with shiny copper balls and shutters. How gloriously the fire burns in her, how warm it blows from him! But what is it? The girl stretched her legs towards the fire to warm them, and suddenly ... the flame went out, the stove disappeared, and the girl had a burnt match in her hand.

She struck another match, the match lit up, lit up, and when its reflection fell on the wall, the wall became transparent, like muslin. The girl saw a room in front of her, and in it a table covered with a snow-white tablecloth and lined with expensive china; on the table, spreading a wonderful aroma, there was a dish with a fried goose stuffed with prunes and apples! And the most wonderful thing was that the goose suddenly jumped off the table and, as it was, with a fork and a knife in its back, waddled along the floor. He walked straight to the poor girl, but ... the match went out, and an impenetrable, cold, damp wall again stood in front of the poor girl.

The girl lit another match. Now she sat in front of a luxurious

Christmas tree. This tree was much taller and more elegant than the one that the girl saw on Christmas Eve when she went up to the house of a wealthy merchant and looked through the window. Thousands of candles burned on her green branches, and the colorful pictures that adorn shop windows looked at the girl. The baby stretched out her hands to them, but ... the match went out. The lights began to go higher and higher and soon turned into clear stars. One of them rolled across the sky, leaving a long trail of fire behind it.

"Someone has died," thought the girl, because her recently deceased old grandmother, who alone loved her all over the world, told her more than once: "When a star falls, someone's soul flies to God."

The girl again struck a match against the wall and, when everything around was lit up, she saw in this radiance her old grandmother, so quiet and enlightened, so kind and affectionate.

Grandma, - exclaimed the girl, - take, take me to you! I know that you will leave when the match goes out, disappear like a warm stove, like a delicious roast goose and a wonderful big Christmas tree!

And she hastily struck all the matches that remained in the pack — that's how she wanted to keep her grandmother! And the matches flashed so blindingly that it became brighter than day. During her lifetime, my grandmother was never so beautiful, so dignified. She took the girl in her arms, and, illuminated with light and joy, both of them ascended high, high - where there is no hunger, no cold, no fear - they ascended to God.

On a frosty morning, behind the ledge of the house, they found a girl: a blush played on her cheeks, a smile on her lips, but she was dead; she froze on the last evening of the old year. The New Year's sun lit up the dead body of a girl with matches; she burned almost a whole packet.

The girl wanted to warm up, people said. And no one knew what miracles she saw, among what beauty they, together with their grandmother, met New Year's Happiness.

What my head thinks about

If you think that I am a good student, you are wrong. I don't study well. For some reason, everyone thinks that I am capable, but lazy. I don’t know if I’m capable or not. But only I know for sure that I am not lazy. I sit for three hours on tasks.

For example, now I am sitting and I want to solve the problem with all my might. But she does not dare. I tell my mom:

- Mom, my problem is not working.

- Don't be lazy, says mom. - Think carefully, and everything will work out. Just think carefully!

She leaves on business. And I take my head with both hands and say to her:

- Think head. Think well ... "Two pedestrians left point A to point B ..." Head, why don't you think? Well, head, well, think, please! Well what do you need!

A cloud is floating outside the window. It is light as fluff. Here it stopped. No, it floats on.

Head, what are you thinking ?! Aren `t you ashamed!!! “From point A to point B two pedestrians left ...” Lyuska, probably, also left. She is already walking. If she came to me first, I would, of course, forgive her. But does she fit, such a mischief ?!

"... From point A to point B ..." No, it will not work. On the contrary, when I go out into the yard, she will take Lena's arm and whisper to her. Then she will say: "Len, send me, I have something." They will leave, and then sit on the windowsill and laugh and gnaw seeds.

"... Two pedestrians left point A to point B ..." And what will I do? .. And then I will call Kolya, Petka and Pavlik to play rounders. And what will she do? Yeah, she's putting on the Three Fat Men. Yes, so loud that Kolya, Petka and Pavlik will hear and run to ask her to let them listen. They listened a hundred times, everything is not enough for them! And then Lyuska will close the window, and they will all listen to the record there.

"... From point A to point ... to point ..." And then I will take it and fill it with something directly into her window. Glass - ding! - and scatter. Let him know.

So. I'm tired of thinking. Think not think - the task does not work. It's just awful what a difficult task! I’ll take a little walk and start thinking again.

I closed the book and looked out the window. Lyuska alone was walking in the yard. She jumped into the classics. I went out into the yard and sat on a bench. Lyuska didn't even look at me.

- Earring! Vitka! - Lyuska shouted at once. - Let's go play rounders!

The Karmanov brothers looked out the window.

- We have a throat, ”both brothers said hoarsely. “They won't let us in.

- Lena! - Lyuska shouted. - Linen! Come out!

Instead of Lena, her grandmother looked out and shook her finger at Lyuska.

- Pavlik! - Lyuska shouted.

No one appeared in the window.

- Pe-et-ka-ah! - Lyuska sat down.

- Girl, what are you yelling at ?! - someone's head stuck out of the window. - A sick person is not allowed to rest! There is no rest from you! - And the head stuck back into the window.

Lyuska furtively looked at me and blushed like a cancer. She tugged at her pigtail. Then she took off the thread from the sleeve. Then she looked at the tree and said:

- Lucy, let's go to the classics.

- Come on, I said.

We jumped into the classics, and I went home to solve my problem.

As soon as I sat down at the table, my mother came:

- Well, how's the problem?

- Does not work.

- But you've been sitting over it for two hours already! It's just awful what it is! They ask the children some kind of puzzles! .. Come on, show your problem! Maybe I can do it? I still graduated from the institute. So. “Two pedestrians left point A to point B ...” Wait, wait, this task is something familiar to me! Listen, you and dad decided it the last time! I remember perfectly!

- How? - I was surprised. - Really? Oh, really, because this is the forty-fifth problem, and we were asked the forty-sixth.

Then my mother was terribly angry.

- It's outrageous! - said my mother. - This is unheard of! This mess! Where is your head ?! What is she only thinking about ?!

Alexander Fadeev

Young Guard (Mother's Hands)

Mother Mother! I remember your hands from the moment I began to recognize myself in the world. Over the summer they were always covered with a tan, it did not leave even in winter - it was so gentle, even, only slightly darker on the veins. And in the dark veins.

From the very moment when I began to realize myself, and until the last minute, when you are exhausted, quietly, for the last time, put your head on my chest, leading me into the difficult path of life, I always remember your hands in work. I remember how they scurried about in the soap suds, washing my sheets, when these sheets were still so small that they did not look like diapers, and I remember how you in a sheepskin coat, in winter, carried buckets in a yoke, putting a small handle in a mitten on the front of the yoke , itself so small and fluffy, like a mitten. I see your fingers with slightly thickened joints on the primer, and I repeat after you: "Be-a-ba, ba-ba."

I remember how imperceptibly your hands could take out a splinter from your son's finger and how they instantly threaded a needle, when you sewed and sang - sang only for yourself and for me. Because there is nothing in the world, no matter what your hands are able to do, what they cannot do, what they do not despise.

But most of all, forever and ever, I remembered how tenderly they stroked your hands, a little rough and so warm and cool, how they stroked my hair, and neck, and chest, when I was half-conscious in bed. And whenever I opened my eyes, you were next to me, and the night light burned in the room, you looked at me with your sunken eyes, as if from darkness, all quiet, bright, as if in vestments. I kiss your pure, holy hands!

Look around you too, young man, my friend, look around like me, and tell me who you hurt in life more than your mother - is it not from me, not from you, not from him, not from our failures, mistakes and not Do our mothers turn gray because of our grief? But the hour will come when all this will turn into a painful reproach to the heart at the mother's grave.

Mom, mom! .. Forgive me, because you are alone, only you in the world can forgive, put your hands on your head, as in childhood, and forgive ...

Deniskin's stories.

... would

Once I sat, sat and for no apparent reason suddenly thought of such a thing that I was even surprised myself. I figured out how nice it would be if everything around in the world were arranged the other way around. Well, for example, in order for children to be the main things in all matters, and adults would have to obey them in everything, in everything. In general, so that adults are like children, and children are like adults. That would be great, it would be very interesting.

Firstly, I imagine how my mother would “like” such a story, that I walk around and command it as I want, and dad would also “like it”, but there’s nothing to say about my grandmother. Needless to say, I would have remembered everything to them! For example, here my mother would sit at lunch, and I would tell her:

"Why did you start a fashion without bread to eat? Here's more news! Look at yourself in the mirror, who do you look like? Poured Koschey! Eat now, they tell you!" gave the command: "Faster! Do not hold it by the cheek! Are you thinking again? You solve the world's problems? Chew properly! And do not swing in your chair!"

And then dad would come in after work, and he would not even have had time to undress, and I would have shouted: "Aha, I have come! We must always wait for you! My hands now! Properly, properly mine, there is nothing to smear the dirt. After you It's scary to look at the towel. With a brush three and do not regret washing. Come on, show your nails! This is horror, not nails. These are just claws! Where are the scissors? Do not twitch! I don’t cut any meat, but I cut my hair very carefully. Do not squish your nose, you're not a girl ... That's it. Now sit down at the table. "

He would sit down and quietly tell his mother: "Well, how are you?" And she would also say quietly: "Nothing, thank you!" And I would immediately: "Conversations at the table! When I eat, I am deaf and dumb! Remember this for life. Golden rule! Dad! Put down the newspaper now, you are my punishment!"

And they would sit like silk with me, and when my grandmother came, I would squint, clasp my hands and shout: "Dad! Mom! Admire our granny! What a view! Chest is open, hat on the back of the head! Cheeks are red, my whole neck is wet! It's good, there's nothing to say. Admit it, I played hockey again! And what is that dirty stick? Why did you bring it into the house? What? This is a stick! Take it out of my eyes now - to the back door! "

Then I would walk around the room and say to all three of them: "After dinner, all sit down for lessons, and I'll go to the cinema!"

Of course, they would immediately whine and whimper: "And we are with you! And we also want to go to the cinema!"

And I would say to them: "Nothing, nothing! Yesterday we went to your birthday, on Sunday I took you to the circus! Look! I liked having fun every day. Sit at home! Here’s thirty kopecks for ice cream, and that's it!"

Then the grandmother would have prayed: "Take at least me something! After all, every child can take one adult with him for free!"

But I would evade, I would say: "And people after seventy years of age are not allowed to enter this picture. Stay at home, gulen!"

And I would have walked past them, deliberately tapping loudly with my heels, as if I didn’t notice that their eyes were all wet, and I would start getting dressed, and spin in front of the mirror for a long time, and hum, and this would make them even worse tormented, but I would open the door to the stairs and say ...

But I didn’t have time to think of what I would say, because at that time my mother came in, the most real, alive, and said:

You are still sitting. Eat now, look who you look like? Poured Koschey!

Lev Tolstoy

Little bird

Seryozha was a birthday boy, and they gave him many different gifts: tops, horses, and pictures. But Uncle Seryozha gave a net to catch birds more expensive than all the gifts.

The grid is made in such a way that a plate is attached to the frame and the grid is folded back. Put the seed on a plank and put it out in the yard. A bird will fly in, sit on the board, the board will turn up, and the net will slam shut itself.

Seryozha was delighted and ran to his mother to show the net. Mother says:

The toy is not good. What do you need birds for? Why are you going to torture them?

I'll put them in cages. They will sing and I will feed them!

Seryozha took out the seed, poured it on a board and put the net in the garden. And he stood still, waiting for the birds to arrive. But the birds were afraid of him and did not fly to the net.

Seryozha went to dinner and left the net. I looked after dinner, the net slammed shut, and a bird was beating under the net. Seryozha was delighted, caught the bird and carried it home.

Mama! Look, I caught the bird, it’s right, a nightingale! And how his heart beats.

Mother said:

This is a siskin. Look, don't torture him, but rather let him go.

No, I will feed and water him. Seryozha put a siskin in a cage, and for two days he poured seed on him, and put water, and cleaned the cage. On the third day, he forgot about the siskin and did not change his water. His mother says to him:

You see, you forgot about your bird, you better let it go.

No, I will not forget, I will now put on the water and clean out the cage.

Seryozha thrust his hand into the cage, began to clean, and the siskin, frightened, beats against the cage. Seryozha cleaned out the cage and went to fetch water.

The mother saw that he had forgotten to close the cage, and shouted to him:

Seryozha, close the cage, or your bird will fly out and die!

Before she had time to say, the siskin found the door, was delighted, dismissed its wings and flew through the upper room to the window, but did not see the glass, hit the glass and fell on the windowsill.

Seryozha came running, took the bird, carried it to the cage. Siskin was still alive, but he lay on his chest, spreading his wings, and breathing heavily. Seryozha looked, looked and began to cry:

Mama! What should I do now?

Now you can't do anything.

Seryozha did not leave the cage all day and kept looking at the siskin, but the siskin still lay on his chest and was breathing heavily and quickly. When Seryozha went to bed, the siskin was still alive. Seryozha could not sleep for a long time; every time he closed his eyes, he imagined a siskin, how it lies and breathes.

In the morning, when Seryozha approached the cage, he saw that the siskin was already lying on its back, clenched its legs and became numb.

Since then, Seryozha has never caught birds.

Find

Once Lelya and I took a box of chocolates and put a frog and a spider in it.

Then we wrapped this box in clean paper, tied it with a chic blue ribbon and put this bag on a panel opposite our garden. As if someone was walking and lost their purchase.

Putting this package near the curbstone, Lelya and I hid in the bushes of our garden and, choking with laughter, began to wait for what would happen.

And here comes a passer-by.

Seeing our package, he, of course, stops, rejoices, and even rubs his hands with pleasure. Still: he found a box of chocolates - this is not so often in this world.

With bated breath, Lelya and I are looking at what will happen next.

The passer-by bent down, took the package, quickly untied it and, seeing the beautiful box, was even more delighted.

And now the lid is open. And our frog, bored of sitting in the dark, jumps out of the box right onto the hand of a passer-by.

He gasps in surprise and tosses the box away from him.

Here Lelya and I began to laugh so hard that we fell on the grass.

And we laughed so loudly that the passer-by turned in our direction and, seeing us behind the fence, immediately understood everything.

In an instant, he rushed to the fence, jumped over it in one fell swoop and rushed to us to teach us a lesson.

Lelya and I asked a snitch.

We screeched across the garden to the house.

But I stumbled over the garden bed and stretched out on the grass.

And then a passerby tore off my ear quite hard.

I screamed loudly. But the passer-by, giving me two more flip-flops, calmly left the garden.

Our parents came running to the scream and noise.

Holding my reddened ear and sobbing, I went up to my parents and complained to them about what had happened.

My mother wanted to call a janitor so that she and the janitor could catch up with a passer-by and arrest him.

And Lelya was already rushing after the janitor. But dad stopped her. And he said to her and my mother:

- Don't call the janitor. And there is no need to arrest a passer-by. Of course, it’s not the case that he tore off Minka by the ears, but if I were a passer-by, I would probably do the same.

Hearing these words, mom got angry with dad and said to him:

- You are a terrible selfish!

And Lelya and I were also angry with dad and did not say anything to him. I just rubbed my ear and cried. And Lelka whimpered too. And then my mom, taking me in her arms, said to dad:

- Instead of interceding for a passer-by and thus bringing the children to tears, you would better explain to them what is wrong with what they have done. Personally, I do not see this and I regard everything as innocent child's play.

And dad couldn’t find an answer. He only said:

- Here children grow up big and someday they themselves will find out why it is bad.

LENOCHKA

(Track "Search for the wounded" from the movie "Star")

Spring was filled with warmth and hubbub of rooks. It seemed that the war would end today. For four years now I have been at the front. Almost no one was left alive from the battalion's medical instructors.

My childhood somehow immediately passed into adulthood. In between battles, I often recalled school, waltz ... And the next morning, the war. The whole class decided to go to the front. But the girls were left at the hospital to take monthly courses of medical instructors.

When I arrived at the division, I had already seen the wounded. They said that these guys did not even have weapons: they were mined in battle. The first feeling of helplessness and fear I experienced in August 1941 ...

- Who are the guys alive? - making my way through the trenches, I asked, carefully peering into every meter of the ground. - Guys, who needs help? I turned over the dead bodies, they all looked at me, but no one asked for help, because they no longer heard. The artillery attack destroyed everyone ...

- Well, this cannot be, at least someone has to stay alive ?! Petya, Igor, Ivan, Alyoshka! - I crawled to the machine gun and saw Ivan.

- Vanechka! Ivan! - she screamed at the top of her lungs, but her body was already cold, only her blue eyes gazed motionlessly at the sky. Going down to the second trench, I heard a groan.

- Is there anyone alive? People, answer at least someone! I shouted again. The groan was repeated, indistinct, dull. She ran at a run past the dead bodies, looking for him, the survivor.

- Sweetheart! I'm here! I'm here!

And again she began to turn over everyone who got in the way.

No! No! No! I will definitely find you! Just wait for me! Do not die! - and jumped into another trench.

Upward, a rocket took off, illuminating it. The groan was repeated somewhere very close.

- Then I will never forgive myself for not finding you, - I shouted and ordered myself: - Come on. Come on, listen! You will find it, you can! A little more - and the end of the trench. God, how scary! Faster Faster! "Lord, if you exist, help me find him!" - and I knelt down. I, a Komsomol member, asked the Lord for help ...

Was it a miracle, but the groan was repeated. Yes, he is at the very end of the trench!

- Hold on! - I shouted as best I could and literally burst into the dugout, covered with a raincoat-tent.

- Dear, alive! - hands worked quickly, realizing that he was no longer a tenant: a severe wound in the stomach. He held his insides with his hands.

- You have to deliver the package, ”he whispered softly, dying. I closed his eyes. Before me lay a very young lieutenant.

- But how is that ?! Which package? Where to? You didn't say where? You didn't say where! - Examining everything around, I suddenly saw a package sticking out in a boot. Urgent, read the caption, underlined in red pencil. - Field mail of division headquarters.

Sitting with him, a young lieutenant, she said goodbye, and tears rolled down one after another. Taking his documents, I walked along the trench, staggering, I felt nauseous when I closed the eyes of the dead soldiers on the way.

I delivered the package to the headquarters. And the information there really turned out to be very important. Only now the medal that was presented to me, my first military award, I never wore, because it belonged to that lieutenant, Ivan Ivanovich Ostankov.

After the end of the war, I handed this medal to the lieutenant's mother and told how he died.

In the meantime, there were battles ... The fourth year of the war. During this time, I completely turned gray: my red hair became completely white. Spring was approaching with warmth and rooks hubbub ...

Yuri Yakovlevich Yakovlev

GIRLS

FROM VASILIEVSKY ISLAND

I am Valya Zaitseva from Vasilievsky Island.

I have a hamster under my bed. He will fill his full cheeks, in reserve, sit on his hind legs and look with black buttons ... Yesterday I kicked one boy off. Weighed him a good bream. We, Vasileostrovsk girls, know how to stand up for ourselves when necessary ...

It's always windy here on Vasilievsky. The rain is falling. Pours wet snow. Floods happen. And our island floats like a ship: on the left is the Neva, on the right is the Nevka, in front is the open sea.

I have a girlfriend - Tanya Savicheva. We are neighbors with her. She is from the Second line, house 13. Four windows on the first floor. Nearby there is a bakery, in the basement there is a kerosene shop ... Now there is no shop, but in Tanino, when I was not yet in the world, the first floor always smelled of kerosene. They told me.

Tanya Savicheva was the same age as I am now. She could have grown up long ago, become a teacher, but she has remained a girl forever ... When my grandmother sent Tanya for kerosene, I was gone. And she went to Rumyantsevsky Garden with another friend. But I know all about her. They told me.

She was a songstress. She always sang. She wanted to recite poetry, but she stumbled on the words: she will stumble, and everyone thinks that she has forgotten the right word. My girlfriend sang because when you sing, you don't stutter. She could not stutter, she was going to become a teacher, like Linda Avgustovna.

She always played teacher. He puts a big grandmother's scarf on his shoulders, folds his hands in a lock and walks from corner to corner. "Children, today we will do a repetition with you ..." And then he stumbles over a word, blushes and turns to the wall, although there is no one in the room.

They say there are doctors who treat stuttering. I would find one. We, Vasileostrovsky girls, will find whoever you want! But now a doctor is no longer needed. She stayed there ... my friend Tanya Savicheva. She was taken from besieged Leningrad to the mainland, and the road, called the Road of Life, could not give Tanya life.

The girl died of hunger ... Does it really matter why she dies - from hunger or from a bullet. Maybe hunger hurts even more ...

I decided to find the Way of Life. I went to Rzhevka, where this road begins. She walked two and a half kilometers - there the guys were building a monument to the children who died in the blockade. I also wanted to build.

Some adults asked me:

- Who are you?

- I'm Valya Zaitseva from Vasilievsky Island. I also want to build.

I was told:

- It is forbidden! Come with your area.

I didn't leave. I looked around and saw a baby, a tadpole. I grabbed onto it:

- He also came with his area?

- He came with his brother.

With my brother, you can. With the area you can. But what about being alone?

I told them:

- You see, I don't just want to build. I want to build for my friend ... Tanya Savicheva.

They rolled their eyes. They didn’t believe it. They asked again:

- Is Tanya Savicheva your friend?

- And what is so special here? We are of the same age. Both are from Vasilievsky Island.

- But she's not there ...

How stupid people are, and even adults! What do you mean "no" if we are friends? I told them to understand:

- We have everything in common. Both the street and the school. We have a hamster. He will fill his cheeks ...

I noticed that they do not believe me. And so that they would believe, she blurted out:

- We even have the same handwriting!

-Handwriting?

- They were even more surprised.

- And what? Handwriting!

Suddenly they cheered up, from the handwriting:

- It is very good! This is just a find. Come with us.

- I'm not going anywhere. I want to build ...

- You will build! You will write in Tanya's handwriting for the monument.

- I can, - I agreed.

“Only I don’t have a pencil. Will you give?

- You will write on concrete. They don't write on concrete with a pencil.

I never wrote on concrete. I wrote on the walls, on the asphalt, but they brought me to the concrete plant and gave Tanya a diary - a notebook with the alphabet: a, b, c ... I have the same book. For forty kopecks.

I took Tanya's diary in my hands and opened the page. It said:

"Zhenya died on December 28, 12:30 in the morning of 1941".

I felt cold. I wanted to give them the book and leave.

But I'm Vasileostrovskaya. And if a friend's older sister died, I should stay with her, and not run away.

- Let's get your concrete. I will write.

The crane lowered a huge frame of thick gray dough at my feet. I took my wand, squatted down and began to write. The concrete smelled cold. It was difficult to write. And they told me:

- Do not rush.

I made mistakes, smoothed the concrete with my palm, and wrote again.

I was bad at it.

- Do not rush. Write calmly.

"Grandma died on January 25th, 1942."

While I was writing about Zhenya, my grandmother died.

If you just want to eat, this is not hunger - you eat an hour later.

I tried to starve from morning to evening. Endured. Hunger - when your head, hands, heart are hungry day after day - everything you have is starving. First he starves, then dies.

"Leka died on March 17 at 5 am 1942."

Leka had his own corner, fenced off by cupboards, he drew there.

He made money by drawing and studied. He was quiet and short-sighted, wearing glasses, and all squeaked in his ruling pen. They told me.

Where did he die? Probably in the kitchen, where the "potbelly stove" smoked with a small weak engine, where they slept, they ate bread once a day. A little piece like a cure for death. Leka did not have enough medicine ...

- Write, - they told me quietly.

In the new frame, the concrete was liquid, it crawled over the letters. And the word "died" disappeared. I didn't want to write it again. But I was told:

- Write, Valya Zaitseva, write.

And I wrote again - "died".

"Uncle Vasya died on April 13, 2 hours. Night of 1942."

"Uncle Lyosha on May 10 at 4 pm 1942".

I am very tired of writing the word "died". I knew that with each page of the diary, Tanya Savicheva was getting worse. She stopped singing a long time ago and did not notice that she was stuttering. She no longer played teacher. But she did not give up - she lived. They told me ... Spring has come. The trees turned green. We have a lot of trees on Vasilievsky. Tanya dried up, froze, became thin and light. Her hands were trembling and her eyes ached from the sun. The Nazis killed half of Tanya Savicheva, and maybe more than half. But her mother was with her, and Tanya held on.

- What are you not writing? - they told me quietly.

- Write, Valya Zaitseva, otherwise the concrete will harden.

For a long time I did not dare to open a page with the letter "M". On this page, Tanya's hand was written: "Mom on May 13 at 7.30 am in the morning of 1942". Tanya did not write the word "died". She didn't have the strength to write the word.

I gripped the wand tightly and touched the concrete. I did not look into the diary, but wrote by heart. It's good that our handwriting is the same.

I wrote with all my might. The concrete became thick, almost frozen. He no longer crawled over the letters.

- Can you write more?

- I will add, - I answered and turned away so as not to see my eyes. After all, Tanya Savicheva is my ... friend.

Tanya and I are the same age, we, Vasileostrovsk girls, know how to stand up for ourselves when necessary. If she had not been Vasileostrovskaya, Leningrad, she would not have lasted so long. But she lived - that means she did not give up!

Opened the "C" page. There were two words: "The Savichevs are dead."

Opened the page "U" - "All died." The last page of Tanya Savicheva's diary was marked with the letter "O" - "Tanya is the only one left."

And I imagined that it was me, Valya Zaitseva, who was left alone: ​​without a mother, without a father, without a sister, Lyulka. Hungry. Under fire.

In an empty apartment on the Second Line. I wanted to cross out this last page, but the concrete hardened and the stick broke.

And suddenly, to myself, I asked Tanya Savicheva: “Why alone?

And I? You also have a friend - Valya Zaitseva, your neighbor from Vasilievsky Island. We will go with you to the Rumyantsevsky Garden, we will run, and when we get tired, I will bring my grandmother's handkerchief from the house, and we will play the teacher Linda Avgustovna. I have a hamster under my bed. I'll give it to you for your birthday. Do you hear, Tanya Savicheva? "

Someone put a hand on my shoulder and said:

- Come on, Valya Zaitseva. You've done everything that needs to be done. Thanks.

I did not understand why they were saying "thank you" to me. I said:

- I'll come tomorrow ... without my district. Can?

“Come without a district,” they told me.

- Come.

My girlfriend Tanya Savicheva did not shoot at the Nazis and was not a scout among the partisans. She just lived in her hometown during the most difficult time. But, perhaps, the Nazis did not enter Leningrad because Tanya Savicheva lived in it and many other girls and boys lived there, who remained forever in their time. And today's guys are friends with them, as I am friends with Tanya.

And after all, they are friends only with the living.

Cold autumn

In June of that year, he stayed with us on the estate - he was always considered our own man: his late father was a friend and neighbor of my father. But on July 19, Germany declared war on Russia. In September, he came to us for a day - to say goodbye before leaving for the front (everyone then thought that the war would end soon). And then came our farewell evening. After supper, as usual, a samovar was served, and, looking at the windows fogged up from its steam, the father said:

- Surprisingly early and cold autumn!

We sat quiet that evening, only occasionally exchanging insignificant words, exaggeratedly calm, hiding our secret thoughts and feelings. I went to the balcony door and wiped the glass with a handkerchief: in the garden, in the black sky, pure ice stars sparkled brightly and sharply. Father smoked, leaning back in a chair, absentmindedly looking at a hot lamp hanging over the table, mother, in glasses, diligently sewed under her light a small silk bag - we knew which one - and it was both touching and eerie. The father asked:

- So you still want to go in the morning, and not after breakfast?

“Yes, if I may, in the morning,” he replied. - It’s very sad, but I haven’t completely ordered around the house.

The father sighed lightly:

- Well, as you wish, my soul. Only in this case it is time for my mother and me to sleep, we certainly want to see you off tomorrow ... Mom got up and baptized her future son, he bowed to her hand, then to his father's. Left alone, we spent a little more time in the dining room - I decided to play solitaire, he silently walked from corner to corner, then asked:

- Do you want to walk a little?

My heart was getting harder and harder, I responded indifferently:

- Good...

While dressing in the hallway, he continued to think something, with a sweet smile he recalled Fet's verses:

What a cold autumn!

Put on your shawl and hood ...

Look - among the blackening pines

As if a fire is rising ...

There is some kind of rustic autumn charm in these verses. "Put on your shawl and hood ..." The times of our grandfathers and grandmothers ... Oh, my God! Still sad. Sad and good. I very-very love you...

Having dressed, we went through the dining room to the balcony, went down to the garden. At first it was so dark that I held onto his sleeve. Then black branches began to appear in the brightening sky, showered with minerally shining stars. He paused and turned to the house:

- Look how the windows of the house shine in a very special way, in an autumn way. I will live, I will forever remember this evening ... I looked, and he hugged me in my Swiss cape. I took the downy shawl away from my face, tilted my head slightly so that he would kiss me. After kissing, he looked me in the face.

- If they kill me, you still won't forget me right away? I thought: "What if they really kill him? And will I really forget him at some time - after all, everything is forgotten in the end?" And hastily answered, frightened by her thought:

- Do not say that! I will not survive your death!

After a pause, he said slowly:

“Well, if they kill you, I'll wait for you there. You live, rejoice in the world, then come to me.

In the morning he left. Mom put that fatal sack around his neck that she sewed in the evening - it had a golden icon that her father and grandfather wore in the war - and we all baptized it with a kind of impetuous despair. Looking after him, they stood on the porch in that stupidity that happens when you see someone off for a long separation. After standing, they entered the empty house .... They killed him - what a strange word! - a month later. This is how I survived his death, once recklessly saying that I would not survive it. But, remembering everything that I have experienced since then, I always ask myself: what was it all the same in my life? And I answer myself: only that cold autumn evening. Did he ever exist? It was all the same. And this is all that was in my life - the rest is an unnecessary dream. And I believe: somewhere out there he is waiting for me - with the same love and youth as that evening. "You live, rejoice in the world, then come to me ..."

I lived, I was glad, now I will come soon.

If a person hears: “We need to quickly learn the text!”, Images of a school or institute come to mind. After all, when people receive education, they have to assimilate a lot of information that is useful and not so much. But sometimes not only schoolchildren and students need to learn the text quickly. Let's talk about the methods of assimilation and long-term memorization of information.

There are few people who would recall the "wonderful school years" with aspiration, especially when it comes to memorizing the poems of Alexander Pushkin. Therefore, adults are allergic to his works. Cramming is violence against the body and spirit of a person, but it cannot be denied in efficiency, but it does not always work and does not work with everyone. What can replace cramming?

  • The memory does not work in noisy environments. If a TV, a tape recorder is working over the student's ear, and friends are trying to communicate on social networks, then in such an environment it is difficult to learn at least something, remembering your own name is problematic.
  • Understanding is key. If words do not reach consciousness, then no matter how classic and wonderful the text is, the person will not remember it, and the forces will go into emptiness.
  • After the main layer of meaning has been mastered, the text is divided into parts and each part is studied separately, then these "patches" are sewn together.
  • The next step is to find a listener and tell him the material learned.
  • Alternate between work and rest to keep your mind on and increase efficiency.

A person remembers better if he understands. But sometimes this method does not work. Because a girl or a guy learns the names of human bones in Latin, and here you cannot do without the old-fashioned way - cramming.

How to learn a lot of text: the method of images

Understanding does not always help, and history knows of cases when this method simply does not work. Let us turn to other ways to remember what we have read. There is a famous example when mnemonists memorized the sequence of cards going in a deck. How did they do it? Very simple - they came up with a story that would tie the order of cards in the deck.

How to quickly learn a text?

A mnemonist is a person who can memorize a huge amount of information using special techniques

Let's go back to the bones. Let's say a person teaches the structure of the human body in Latin in detail. Let him pretend that a patient has come to the doctor, and the doctor arranges a detailed examination of the patient. It is no coincidence that the very bones in Latin fall into the plot of the story.

How to quickly learn a text by heart: the cheat sheet method

Imagination cannot always be relied on. If you recall folk wisdom (what is written with a pen, do not cut it out with an ax), then you can use paper and a pen or a keyboard and screen. The person should take notes. Are there rules? Yes, here they are.

Do you urgently need to memorize the text? How easy is it to learn? Similar questions arise in the minds of people before the test, exam and other important events. Our brain has endless possibilities, only it should be helped in their development. At the moment, there are a sufficient number of techniques in the world aimed at developing thinking and memory. It is worth noting that absolutely all mental processes can be improved throughout life. Being engaged in self-development, a person can achieve a lot. We are used to seeing such successful people on the TV screen, reading about them in magazines and on popular sites on the Internet.

The process that allows us to remember and forget information is called memory. It has its own volume, i.e. a person can remember only a limited amount of information. But by developing memory, over time, its storage can be significantly increased.

In order to understand exactly what amount of information a person can remember, special techniques are used to determine the resource of not only short-term, but also long-term memorization. It is possible to quickly memorize a large text by following the recommendations verified by many people.

Types of memory:

  • tactile;
  • gustatory;
  • figurative;
  • visual;
  • auditory;
  • olfactory.

Starting from childhood, a person develops a certain type of memory. For example, if he liked to read books on his own, then in the future it will be quite easy for him to remember information from paper and other media, that is, which can be read on his own. Thus, visual memory will be well developed. Let's consider another variant of memory development. If in childhood parents read books to a child at home, then his auditory memory will be well trained.

How to learn text quickly and easily? In order for a person to quickly memorize the flow of information from any source, he should regularly develop his memory, and cover absolutely all of its types. In this matter, classes will help in various methods that suggest regularly performing special exercises.

First of all, in order to remember the text, you need to read it and understand what the author wanted to convey to the reader. By understanding what each paragraph is talking about, it will be much easier to remember it than just a set of words. A sure way to memorize is also visualization of what you read, that is, creating a small movie in your head using the images of this text. Correctly fulfilling all the conditions of the methods, you can quickly memorize the work.

It has long been proven that it is easier for any person to solve a problem in parts, this also applies to memorizing the text. To make it easier to store information in memory, you should divide it into parts.

When studying the text, it is worth organizing a calm environment around you. It is advisable to turn off the radio, TV and retire, since if someone nearby is talking on the phone, it is unlikely that you will be able to remember a theorem or a poem.

In some cases, from a work that needs to be learned, it is worth writing out some words, you get something like a cheat sheet, and they, as has long been proven, are useful for learning. Records allow you to highlight the main information from the essay; visual memory works when writing. Also, while reading a book, memorize the font of the text, pictures on the pages.

If suddenly it seems that you are tired and the brain does not perceive information, get distracted, drink coffee, rest, and then start studying with renewed vigor, having previously remembered the already learned text. It is much easier to memorize prose at home than in other settings, and it takes less time.

There are many methods and exercises for training memory in the world, almost all of them are effective. Consider the most popular of them with many positive reviews.

  1. Put the calculator aside during any math calculation. By counting in the mind or on paper and doing it regularly, a person significantly increases the amount of memory.
  2. Start your day with a score of 100 to 1. You need to count in that order and try to increase your speed every day.
  3. A fairly effective exercise is called Cities in a Minute. It is simple to do it: in just one minute you need to name 60 cities, one city per second. You won't be able to do this the first time, but performing such a task every day, after a week you can notice positive results.
  4. You can try learning new words. This technique will allow a person not only to train memory, but also to learn a foreign language. Such exercises should be performed regularly, since the picture will not change from one time, as with muscle training. It is recommended to learn fifteen words a day and to increase this barrier with each subsequent week.
  5. The simplest and most well-known exercise is the usual memorization of a poem. Important in this technique is its constancy, that is, you need to learn new verses systematically.

Techniques for quickly studying a poem

Don't know how to quickly learn texts by heart? Using some techniques and guidelines, it will become much easier and faster.

After that, be sure to visualize the poem, doing this is a little more difficult than in the case of prose, but the result will be effective. For example, if the verse speaks of a prisoner sitting behind bars (A.S. Pushkin), then you can even draw this picture on paper.

When memorizing a poem, pay attention to the rhymes. You can also try to read the work in roles, create a dialogue, for example, with a close relative or friend.

Have you learned a verse, but are you afraid to make a mistake in the story? Write down the first words of each line on paper, this will greatly facilitate the task.

Reading quickly improves memory

Very few people know how to quickly memorize a text. First of all, you need to master the technique of fast reading, it is she who will help to select the most important information from a large text or from an entire book in a short time.

Reading can be different:

  • unhurried - it is referred to as reading works of fiction (novels, detective stories, etc.);
  • focused - required to study very important information;
  • fast reading - with its help it is easy to highlight the main thing from a large text;
  • fluent - the essence of the information is remembered without details.

Using the fast reading technique, a person can easily highlight the main information in the text and not waste his time on excess water in it.

To master the technique of fast reading, it is recommended to initially read the table of contents of the book, this will help to form an overall impression of it. Then read the introduction, chapters, pay attention to the highlighted information in the text, which the author emphasizes.

Train your reading speed of words per minute, each time take a new page for the exercise from the book.

We remember the information we read

Some people do not have a very good memory, and always wonder how to quickly learn texts by heart. To do this, you do not need to do anything complicated, just follow the recommendations that will help to reduce the study time significantly.

The surest way to easily memorize something is to remember. This is the name of the memory function, which helps a person remember information learned in the past.

Reading the text again, a few hours after the first time, will strengthen it more in memory.

Having understood the information contained in the work, a person can memorize the entire text in a fairly short time. Also memorize the work in parts, it is easier than to learn all at once. Read thoughtfully, understand the words, understand what you are reading. A proven fact: what you read before bedtime is remembered better.

What helps your memory to be in good condition?

In the human body, everything is interconnected, this also applies to memory. In order for her to be in order, you need not only to train the thought processes, but also to monitor the state of your brain.

  • both an adult and a child should get enough sleep every day. Experts say that people who sleep less than seven hours a day are prone to forgetfulness and inattention. Therefore, be sure to follow the daily routine;
  • our brain, like the whole body, needs energy to work, we take it from food. Therefore, monitor your diet, exclude semi-finished products and other unhealthy foods from it. Eat more cereals, vegetables and fruits;
  • do not forget about physical activity and walking in the fresh air, this will help to saturate the blood with oxygen more, which has a good effect on the entire body and memory.

The mysterious possibilities of memory

Our memory, as mentioned earlier, has unlimited volumes. You can memorize the necessary and unnecessary information in different ways. By training your memory every day, you can discover a lot of new and unknown things.

January 23, 2014

Good afternoon dear friends! When I was preparing for this post, it turned out that there are much more areas in which you need to quickly memorize something than I expected, so I split the article into two parts. Who knows, maybe a third will appear.

The topic is actually very interesting. I got carried away with experiments with memory in high school, when I was already actively working on the Internet, and I did not have much time to study subjects. Having stumbled on (literally) hundreds of books on the Internet, I already sifted out any slag by titles like "How to develop super memory in a day" or "A quick way to learn a school course in one week." Leaving 8-10 pieces, I began to study them, writing out especially valuable thoughts and practical exercises for memorizing by heart.

For me, practice is very important, because in theory you can really do anything you want, but putting it into practice is quite problematic. Therefore, I try to check any advice and recommendations on my own skin. It turns out quite interesting, and a lot of new skills are being recruited.

I try to judge as objectively as possible, but that does not mean that I am disclosing the ultimate truth. I only recommend what helped me and you, I hope it will help too.

Fundamental principles

There are basic principles that will help your brain memorize information much more efficiently. It doesn't matter if you want to know how to quickly learn a poem or just wondering how to memorize.

  1. Maximum concentration;
  2. The physical state;
  3. Brightness of images;
  4. Motivation;
  5. Understanding;

Already just from the names you can find out up to 90% of the whole essence of each principle, but let's look at each point in more detail.

Don't get distracted while memorizing.

It seems to me that anyone can confirm that they are more focused on the task, the faster the result can be obtained. There are even many techniques that can improve this process, but we will talk about this in the following articles, if you don’t want to miss - subscribe (form at the bottom of the article).

Our brains are designed in such a way that the fewer tasks we perform, the more effective the result will be. It's not for nothing that our head is often compared to a computer. By limiting the number of tasks to be performed to one or two, you can get a truly incredible result. Your best bet is to find a quiet room where there is no distraction, turn off any irritants, and start exercising.

Breathing techniques and personal attitudes will also help you concentrate quickly. Take 10 deep breaths, during which repeat to yourself something like "I can learn everything, quickly and without stress." As soon as you have made the last exhalation, immediately begin to memorize the necessary material.

Concentration will help you in many areas of your life. I already talked about this in the article "". This is a very valuable skill that needs to be constantly trained.

Get a good rest.

If you feel unwell, have a headache, or are terribly sleepy, then you are unlikely to be able to quickly learn the material. Firstly, you will be constantly distracted by your sores, and this is already contrary to the first principle. Secondly, ailments affect the efficiency of the body as a whole. So if you want to be productive with mental activity, you have to get rid of these problems.

In most cases, normal sleep will help. It will allow your body to relax, your brain to recover a little, and you can start learning with a full supply of energy. As far as I remember, this advice was given by one of the authors of the books when students asked how to quickly learn English (German, Italian, French) or some kind of language. Half an hour of sleep will allow you to increase efficiency by 2-3 times. As a result, you can get much more done in less time.

Come up with vibrant looks.

We remember what seems to us unusual and, as a rule, lose sight of what we are used to seeing every day. Will you be able to remember what colors the traffic lights were on today along the route you move every day? Unlikely. But if on the way to work / study you saw a tiger playing with a huge ball, you would probably remember it for life. So why not take advantage of this feature of our brain to your advantage?

Let's say you are wondering how to quickly learn the verse "Borodino". As we know, this poem literally consists of vivid images and actions. This greatly simplifies our task. Just while reading, try to imagine the pictures that Lermontov describes as vividly as possible. Only this exercise will increase the efficiency of memorization at times, but imagine what would happen if you use all the principles?

You must understand why you need to learn this material.

The main problem of schoolchildren and students is that they do not understand at all what they are studying for. That is why many are able to read one line 10 times and not remember anything. If a person is completely sure of the need for the material being studied, then he will be able to master it, just by running his eyes. For example, if you were asked to quickly learn chords or a million dollar instruction manual, then you could surely be able to do it almost instantly.

The secret is that motivation really exists. And always. A poem can be taught simply to develop memory or to join the art. You can learn Japanese to watch anime in the original or quietly leave for this eastern country. And the definitions need to be memorized for better mastering of the subject or successful passing of the exam. It is only important to find motivation and really believe in it. This is not difficult to do.

You must understand the information you are teaching.

The material, which, probably, was composed by the aliens, you will learn for a very long time. And you will most likely forget it in a few hours. There is a real relationship between understanding and the speed of memorization. Therefore, before you memorize the definition, try to thoroughly understand the essence of what you are reading. Then, perhaps, you do not have to look for information about how to quickly learn some information.

I'll start with perhaps the most common use of rapid memorization - a poem. Personally, I love poetry very much (I remember that I even took 3rd place in the oblast in the Olympiad), but I always had problems memorizing them. School was the first place where I began to be interested in how you can quickly learn a verse... I remember that it was Pushkin's poem "The sky covers the sky with darkness ...".

In general, in any area, in addition to the fundamental principles, there are "chips", the use of which allows you to achieve weighty results in memorization. Literary poetry is no exception. I recommend using the technique I used myself.

  1. Read the poem several times, delve into its meaning, feel its essence. This is very important, do you remember the fifth principle? From the point of view of aesthetics, this is also very important, since you will gain more than five in literature, you will be able to enjoy truly great words, and this is worth a lot.
  2. Then rewrite the piece on a piece of paper. Be sure to do this with a pen. You can show your imagination and somehow embellish the lines. Not in the sense of changing the words, but in the sense of drawing some kind of drawing on the theme or depicting an exquisite capital letter. Imagine yourself writing this poem.
  3. Try to hum the tune. Have you noticed at least once that the songs are memorized very easily. Sometimes it is enough to listen 1-2 times to memorize 90% of the song. It's all about melody. As a rule, the poems also have their own melody, but it is not expressed so strongly. Come up with your motive and start humming a poem. This will help you remember him even more.
  4. Start learning quickly. That is, read the verse once and try to retell it. Even if you don’t remember a word, don’t peep even for a minute. Put your brain to work. This will allow you to develop powerful neural connections, and you will remember these words for a much longer period.
  5. Do not try to repeat all the time, it is better to separately learn each quatrain, and then try to repeat the entire poem in full. Yes, it is more difficult, but the result is achieved faster and lasts longer.
  6. To figure out how to quickly learn literature, work with the author's biography. Yes, it will take you more time (irony), but you will understand the subject better and be able to show truly high-quality knowledge.
  7. Repeat the verse regularly. It is better to teach a little, but every day, than all at once and in one evening. You can spend a little more time on the first day and try to memorize as much as possible, and then repeat the poem 2-3 times a day. Together, this will take less time, and it will be much easier for you.

With fables it is even easier, since the images there are used are simple and understandable, and they are easier to remember, so this will not be too difficult.

Knowledge of a foreign language has great prospects, so its study is now gaining simply colossal volumes. Almost everyone now has the opportunity to get an education, but some have been learning the language for years, and some are fluent in it after a few months. What's the secret?

The two main ingredients for a recipe for success are practice and consistency. If everything is clear with the first points (the more often and more regularly you study, the better you will speak a foreign language), then the second will have to be dealt with in more detail. The more complete the incoming information and the more diverse it is, the better the material is assimilated. In the case of a foreign language, this is a great chance to quickly master the required material.

Reading, writing, listening, speaking are four areas in which you will develop. If you combine them all together, the effect will be simply unimaginable. Of course, if you do not know the language at all, then first you will need to learn the alphabet, basic words and irregular verbs, and only then proceed to systematic studies, although you can start talking right away.

  1. Read at least one page of text in a foreign language every day. Try not to look in the dictionary. This advice is given to everyone who wants to know how to learn English quickly and easily... I advise you to read books on the method of Ilya Frank. It is advisable to do this out loud. They can be easily found on the Internet.
  2. Set yourself a bar for the minimum number of words. It doesn't matter if you are going to learn Chinese, French or German. Let's say it will be 5 words a day. In a year, you will know 1,780 words, which is already enough to speak normally with native speakers. The most important thing here is regularity, do not pause even on the busiest days. Moreover, learning five words is a matter of ten minutes. The LinguoLeo service can be a great help.
  3. Download audio lessons and start practicing with them. You will not only be able to memorize stable constructions, but you will also understand how to pronounce this or that word correctly. This is important if a foreign language is needed for communication.
  4. Be sure to buy a grammar book, learn the rules, and do the exercises. Of course, if you do not plan to seriously master the language, you are unlikely to need it, but grammar will allow you to better understand the structure and become truly educated. In addition, it will be easier for you to express your thoughts.

By the way, in order to quickly learn English words, do not try to memorize them. Better imagine what this word looks like (for example, apple - apple) and pronounce the English name out loud. This way you will memorize the word much faster, and you can use it without rummaging through your memory. And to understand how to quickly learn English verbs - search for songs on the Internet. There are not so few of them, and they learn by heart faster.

Of course, the tips above have been given in general terms so that you can understand the basic principles and ways to memorize quickly. In I will cover more specifically the main areas of application of rapid memorization that you will surely come in handy. Don't forget to subscribe to updates. Bye!

Schoolchildren and students, teachers and graduate students, as well as people who often make various reports, have to face the need to memorize certain pieces of text written in prose. Of course, a poetic syllable is much easier to remember than a regular text, however prose can be learned quickly too.

Instructions

Memory is conventionally divided into three types. If you have a well-developed visual memory, you should divide the text into several subsections and re-read them several times, trying to remember the location of the paragraphs. You can rewrite the text a couple of times, with good visual memory this is the best memorization method. The owners of the auditory type of memory are recommended to record a piece of prose on a tape recorder and listen to it several times. With a developed motor memory, make sketches, draw diagrams, work with a pencil in your hands, all this will help you learn the text faster.

It is useful to repeat a memorized passage of prose twenty minutes after memorizing, then again after 8 hours and the next day. You can repeat the text in the evening before going to bed and in the morning when you wake up. The material repeated several times is assimilated faster.

You should not memorize the text mechanically. The brain, defensively, denies cramming, reducing memory. Better to invoke ingenuity and imagination to help make learning fun. Let mechanical assimilation become a means of learning an interesting piece of prose, it is important to understand well the meaning of the memorized text, then connections in memory will be established by themselves.

In case you find it difficult to remember a passage, mentally create a certain association for a sentence or a keyword. It doesn't matter what the association will be, the main thing is that you quickly remember it and remember it at the right time.

If you have a cat or dog in your home, use them as your listeners. Tell them what you have learned. If there are no animals in the house, go to the mirror and repeat the text, referring to your image.

If you need to memorize a rather large passage of some text, highlight the main micro-themes and divide the material into several parts. Try to internalize it gradually by making "plans for yourself" or flowcharts that reflect the main points. Structure your text based on headings, underlined or highlighted sentences. This approach will help you quickly cope with the task at hand.

Surely, one of the readers of this article faced such a situation when you urgently need to go somewhere, literally for 5 minutes, but when you approach the car, you understand that the headlights were on all night and the battery charge may not be enough for the trip. To prevent this? charge the battery more often.

You will need

  • - automatic charger
  • - electrolyte

Instructions

Of course, this is an annoying case, and someone has already fallen into this trap of a discharged battery.

When charging a car battery, it should be borne in mind that, most likely, we will need an electrolyte, because it tends to evaporate. You can buy electrolyte at any car dealership. Sometimes they are sold even in stores of household appliances and equipment. The electrolyte is a 50% sulfuric acid solution.

Before charging the battery, it does not hurt to check the electrolyte level, if necessary, top up to the desired mark. Also, do not forget to unscrew all the plugs from the battery cover, because evaporation will occur during charging.

Pay attention to the current that you put when charging. It should be set to a value equal to 1/10 of your battery capacity. For example, you have a 50 amp / hour battery, therefore, you need to set the value on the ammeter to 5 units.

This is the principle of charging

battery. Set the value and put it on charge. As soon as you notice that the ammeter needle goes to the left, closer to zero,

Charging goes its own

and performed

The decrease in the needle of the ammeter to zero is caused by the increasing resistance in the very

by charging.

Helpful advice

When buying a new battery, focus on a product made in the countries of the Scandinavian region. These are countries whose climate is similar to that of Russia. They experience heavy snowfalls, frosts, temperature changes, and, therefore, driving conditions are almost the same.

The problem of memorizing the composition of the numbers from 1 to 18 arises in many first graders. First of all, this is due to the fact that you need to remember abstract information. What does the phrase “7 are 3 and 4” mean to a child? Absolutely nothing. Therefore, all the work on memorizing and automating the knowledge of the composition of numbers should be carried out by an illustrative example and be understandable to the child.

You will need

  • 1. Paper and cardboard.
  • 2. Markers.
  • 3. Handle.

For the roof, write a number from 2 to 18. Explain to the child that as many residents can live on one floor as the number indicates - the owner of the house. Together with the child, using counting sticks, cubes and other material for

, "Settle the tenants into apartments." For example, the owner of the house is number 5. Take 5 sticks - these are the tenants. On the ground floor in one

1 person lives, move 1 stick. Then 4 lives in another apartment

So 5 is 1 and even 4. "Populating" the house, you get pairs 1 and 4, 2 and 3, 3 and 2, 4 and 1. Thus, in the numerical house, which denotes the composition of the number 5, there will be 4 floors.

Hang the number houses in the apartment so that the child sees them as often as possible. To memorize the composition of numbers, close the right or left column of numbers in the numerical house. The child names the neighbor of a particular number. For example, 9 is 3 and? 6 - the child must answer.

From time to time, turn over one of the houses and ask the child to draw a house, remembering the composition of the number, on a piece of paper from memory.

Involve your child in solving simple everyday tasks.

- There are 5 people in our family. I have already put 3 plates on the table. How many more plates should I put in?

- That's right, 2.5 is 3 and 2 more.

Similar work is done with all numbers.

note

The number includes single-digit numbers. So, 18 is 9 and 9. There is only one floor in the numerical house.

Helpful advice

You can make cards with examples for addition, illustrating the composition of numbers (9 = 4 + 5, 17 = 9 + 8, etc.).

For a person of any age to memorize a large volume material a significant amount of effort is required. It has been experimentally proven that mechanical rereading of texts gives practically zero results. Therefore, the main thing is to use the right approach. In order to facilitate the assimilation of large material, it is recommended to use a comprehensive educational method.

Instructions

Organizational moments

Teach in the morning, from 7 am to 12 pm, and in the afternoon, from 2 pm to 6 pm. This is the optimal time to memorize. Tackle complex information in the morning. If you are limited in time, then try to get enough sleep, observe the daily routine, and

10 minute breaks

Divide the entire amount of information by the number of days in which it should be learned. Leave one day in reserve for repetition, if possible. Experts believe that the key to successful memorization of the material is its correct distribution in time.

Use physical

during breaks - mainly somersaults and headstands, which cause

blood to the brain and improve its nutrition.

Working with information

First, read all the information in full, for informational purposes, not in detail. Repeat what you managed to remember the first time, i.e.

in your own words.

Divide a large material into sections, blocks, preferably semantic. Or blocks of equal physical volume. If it is not obvious, then yourself come up with an associative relationship between the sections, title them.

Memorize the sequence of blocks or sections. To do this, make a short plan. Also use associative chains, semantic associations and other methods.

Now work with each block separately. Read, select main thoughts, support

Concepts. To memorize, use various techniques of mnemonics - associations, drawing up reference diagrams,

pictograms, etc.

Repeat, or rather, retell the information

after the first reading. It is much more productive than

her a few more times. Take on the next block of material. After working it, repeat quickly the first and second. And so on, incrementally.

The next morning, after waking up, quickly review what you learned from the previous day. Use reference words, notes and other methods, or, better, retell from memory. Using the notes, then check whether you managed to remember everything. The next day, start repetition from where

the previous day.

The future driver must know all the traffic signs... They are remembered over time after regular trips around the city, so an experienced driver who graduated from a driving school many years ago remembers all the road signs... However, in order to pass the exam at a driving school, they have to be memorized from the pictures in the textbook.

Instructions

Divide everything signs in three categories: shape, color and image. By form signs are round, triangular and square. By color - red, blue, white and multi-colored. They can be represented by a symbol, number or picture.

Remember that all prescriptive and prohibitive

without exception are round. These are the most important

And they are the ones that need to be remembered in the first place. In this case, the red color means the prohibition of any action. For example, a round red circle with a white rectangle inside, commonly called a "brick", means that entry is prohibited. A round white sign with a red border always prohibits further movement in the selected direction. If anything is drawn on it, this means that travel is prohibited only for the person depicted on

Remember that round

background are prescriptive. It is imperative to follow the "instructions" shown on them. For example, if you see a white arrow on a blue background, then you should only go where it points. This means that if the arrow on the sign "tells" to go straight, then the turn

or to the left would be a violation.

Learn the meaning of triangular

They can be divided into two

: some warn the driver, while others establish the order of passage of vehicles on

without traffic lights. From the picture on the warning sign, the driver can easily understand what danger awaits him ahead. This can be a railway crossing, a drawbridge, a steep rise or fall, etc. As for the intersection of intersections, it is worth remembering that an inverted triangle with a red border instructs you to give way.

Remember informational

They are usually square in shape and indicate

Distance to settlements, gas stations, etc. To decipher such a sign, you just need to pay attention to the figure or number depicted on it.

In the process of preparing for exams, students and schoolchildren have to memorize a large amount information... Sometimes it is so large that it can cause confusion, a person literally does not know "what to grab onto." To avoid chaos in assimilation information, you need to adhere to several rules.

Instructions

There is voluntary and involuntary memory. The information that is emotionally rich and memorized without effort is assimilated with the help of involuntary memory. If something has to be memorized with the help of volitional efforts, this process takes place with the use of voluntary memory. It is especially difficult to give those knowledge that cause irritation and unpleasant emotions. So start learning with personal motivation. Convince yourself to remember this.

Do not attempt to mechanically serrate the material. Only that part of it that you understand will be assimilated. Read and comprehend the topic. Then the logical component of memory will be added to the mechanical component of memory, which is assimilated reliably.

As a rule, the material is presented in a specific system. Start teaching from the very beginning in order to understand and assimilate this system. If you forget something during the exam, you can restore or make an independent logical conclusion.

In the process of assessing the quality of assimilation information learn to distinguish memorization from recall. For example, you looked at a tutorial page, remembered a section, and thought you knew it. And on the exam, it turned out that you only remember the picture and the general appearance of the text.

Exercise only when your brain is at its most active. For some, this is early morning, others are capable of assimilation in the late afternoon. Please note that the first time the material is remembered in very rare cases, it must be repeated at least twice, ideally - before bedtime and immediately after it.

By the time of existence, there are short-term, long-term and medium-term memory. The latter is responsible for categorizing the material and works during a night's sleep. Therefore, take the time you need to rest at night. During preparation for exams, the physiological need for sleep increases.

Schoolchildren who begin to study chemistry often face great difficulties trying to learn the names and symbols of chemical elements. It seems to them that this is an impossible task, because there are more than 100 elements. However, there are many effective techniques that can help with this.

You will need

  • Mendeleev table.

Instructions

As part of the curriculum, you will not be required to memorize everything

You only need to learn two or three dozen, which is much easier. You can memorize chemical elements by periods. Look at the periodic table. In the first period there are only 2 elements: hydrogen and helium. It won't be difficult to remember them. In the second period there are already 8 elements: lithium, beryllium, boron, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine and neon. 8 names are not easy to remember. Therefore, resort to associations. Which term will immediately be remembered when

"lithium"? Of course, lithium rechargeable batteries in cell phones, laptops, digital cameras, camcorders.

The word "beryllium" is less well known. You may have heard of beryllium

(alloy possessing

elasticity). If you are interested in minerals, you have probably heard of beryl, some varieties of which (for example,

Aquamarine) are classified as gemstones. Well, lovers of Conan Doyle's art can remember him

"Beryl Diadem".

How to remember

"Boron"? Boric acid is almost certainly found in every home medicine cabinet. Remember the great

Niels Bohr, Nobel laureate. Etc. Carbon is perfectly associated with

"Coal", and that the main components of air are nitrogen and oxygen, you know from elementary grades. About fluorine says

Encouraging to use toothpaste with this component. And there is nothing to say about the inert gas neon: multi-colored neon signs are found everywhere. Likewise, gradually memorize the elements in the third and subsequent periods.

You can memorize not by periods, but by groups. Start with the first main group: hydrogen, lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, cesium. The last element of the group, francium, is very rare. Remember that it has the most pronounced metallic properties. Then you can learn 4 halogen elements from the seventh main group: fluorine - chlorine - bromine - iodine. Try to remember that bromine is the only non-metal that is in a liquid state, and iodine is in a solid state. The fifth element of the group, astatine, like francium, is very rare. It is worth knowing about it that it is the only halogen that exhibits the properties of both a non-metal and a metal. And gradually, in the same way, continue to learn the elements found in other groups.

Japanese culture is becoming more and more popular, which means that the number of people who want to master the Japanese language is also increasing. However, it is rather difficult to study at home. The writing system, which is unusual for Europeans, and the rules for drawing up sentences can put even an experienced polyglot into a stupor.

It is worth starting the study with the search for a tutorial. There are many different editions on the market, but there are few really good ones. First, search the internet for the book. There you can find out the approximate cost, as well as read the reviews.

In addition, a good Japanese self-study guide must meet several criteria:

1. Written in a simple language, without the use of complex terms;

2. Considered not only pronunciation, but also spelling;

3. Competent and understandable structure;

4. Explanation of the peculiarities of the Japanese language (the presence of several alphabets, etc.);

Reading and writing

First, you need to master at least one alphabet. You can buy special teaching recipes in which they teach how to correctly draw hieroglyphs, or you can start an ordinary notebook and study on the Internet. There are many videos on the network that describe in detail exactly how to write certain characters.

There are special courses to help you quickly master the spelling. They are based on the associative method, that is, all hieroglyphs are presented in the form of complete drawings. However, they are usually paid.

Teaching literature allows you to quickly improve your reading skills in Japanese. For example, books on the Ilya Frank method will help you train in just 6-8 months of active training. Japanese is a difficult language, so it really is a short time. Plus, you can read manga - Japanese comics. This will make your classes more interesting.

Pronunciation

At first, pronunciation can be practiced using regular audio courses. The announcer will correctly pronounce any phrase, and you must repeat after him. Use special applications or games to diversify this process and make it more interesting. Japanese films and anime also help to master pronunciation.

However, you cannot sit on such programs for a long time. Communication with real people will allow you to seriously advance in learning the language. It is best to meet foreigners on special sites or international social networks. First, just write messages, and then exchange phone numbers or Skype accounts.

Pronunciation of Japanese is not that difficult, but it requires a thorough mastery of some things. For example, the use of certain seemingly related phrases in different situations. In theory, although this question can be mastered, it can only be brought to automatism in practice.

There are military and naval ranks in the Russian army. To memorize a large list of military positions and the sequence of their appointment, we turn to the list of ranks in ascending order.

Instructions

Soldiers begin their military service as ordinary privates, and the first promotion takes place before

It can be given for excellent study and success in combat training.

The next three positions are junior sergeant, sergeant and senior sergeant. The rank of junior sergeant is obtained as a result of passing special courses, and senior sergeants appoint the most responsible and capable of managing subordinates.

The chain of ranks of the military of this order is concluded by the sergeant major. Each next title can be obtained in 2-3 years, but in some cases even after 1 year.

The navy has its own system of military ranks.

An ordinary employee - a sailor receives his first promotion to a senior sailor. This is followed by the foreman 2 articles, foreman

and the chief petty officer. Concludes a chain of the 1st order main

Finally, the positions of junior officers begin. First, a soldier is awarded the rank of junior lieutenant for completed combat training courses.

Then, those who have received a higher professional education, are assigned the position of lieutenant, who leads the platoon.

The highest rank among junior officers belongs to the captain, which is awarded after 4 years of service as a senior lieutenant. The captain is the company commander and deputy battalion commander.

In the navy, the rank of lieutenant commander follows after junior lieutenant, lieutenant and senior lieutenant.

Moreover, if a soldier has a military registration specialty of a medical or legal profile, then the words "medical service" or "justice" are added to his rank.

The duties and responsibilities of senior officers increase.

The first appointment in this position is received by the major. This position is usually occupied by the chiefs of services and chiefs of staff of battalions. This is followed by the rank of lieutenant colonel and then colonel. The rank of lieutenant colonel is awarded after 5 years of service as a major.

Senior officers' naval ranks - captain

Captain

and the captain

The highest military positions are held by senior officers. The colonel is promoted to major general.

After two years, he can be promoted to the rank of lieutenant general. Then the rank of colonel-general is awarded.

And the most important military posts are occupied by the General of the Army and the Marshal of the Russian Federation.

The next military rank can be awarded ahead of schedule for special services to the Fatherland.

In the navy, senior officers receive the ranks of Rear Admiral, Vice Admiral, and Admiral of the Fleet.

Our children use Arabic numbers every day and know them well. But sometimes, reading a book or looking at the dial of a watch, they come across some incomprehensible signs for them - Roman numbers. What is written without knowing is difficult to read, and a single number written in Roman numerals can be seriously confusing.

Tell your son or daughter about Roman numbers, open up a whole interesting world for them and give them confidence.

Play a game with your child. Tell him that once upon a time there were ancient Romans who came up with a very interesting way of counting what they had. And they had sheep and goats, they raised and sold apples and pears, potters made beautiful dishes, and weavers made rolls of cloth. And in order to sell and buy all this, numbers were needed. These are the numbers that were called Roman.

And at first they counted ... right, on the fingers. This is how the first number appeared - I. Show your child how to get the numbers 2 and 3, it is best to use counting sticks for this. Then show the number V by putting two sticks together and ask what it looks like (like a palm). Now make the number X, first from sticks, and then - showing two palms together, folding them "hourglass".

Now tell him how the Romans made 4 (5-1, the stick was on the left), and 6 (5 + 1, the stick was on the right). Happened? Now let the child think about how to make the number 11. And 9? And 12?

Here are some fun activities to help you consolidate your new knowledge:

1) Find a few clocks in the house and determine which numbers they have, Roman or Arabic. If the house does not have a clock with Roman numerals, photographs or pictures will do.

2) If you are already reading history books, try to find any number written in Roman numbers (this is how the century is usually written) and read it. And if there are no history books at hand, look in children's encyclopedias.

3) Think about how you can show the number V with your body. And I? And X?

4) Draw a tree with your child and try to find Roman numerals among its branches. Surely you will find the numbers V and I, and maybe something else.

5) Play the "guessing game" - in turn tell each other the numbers up to ten and lay them out with counting sticks.

6) But the task is more difficult. Lay out the example with counting sticks and ask them to find the error.

III + I - IIII

These games will bring fun and help your child learn numbers that are new to him.

Each teacher will say that vocabulary words are very important: their knowledge helps us learn to write correctly in Russian. How can I help my child learn vocabulary words?

Each mother imagines what it is like to learn vocabulary words with a child: there are many of them, they are all different. It takes a lot of time to learn them, and the result is often not happy. What to do?

Teach, of course. And try to make cramming less, and learning turned into a game. Here are some tips that can help you cope with difficult but necessary vocabulary words.

· Did the teacher give out a list of vocabulary words? Fine! Think about where you can hang it so that you can repeat them a little bit. A great option is on the wall in the kitchen, next to the place where the child usually sits. Let the words be in front of your eyes all the time.

· No list? Make it yourself, it's even better. Write the 4-5 words that are currently going through the class in large letters.

· Read the words out loud with your child. If a lot of words were asked at once, it is better to do it in small portions - up to ten words. Use a bright marker to mark letters that are difficult to remember. For example, in the word "HARE" - underline "I", "BIRCH" - mark "E".

Now let's play word games.

The first game is geometric.

For example, we need to remember how the word "MILK" is spelled. Compound letters - Oh, they are round. So, we need to come up with something round with milk, for example, a round can of milk rolls down the hill. You can even draw this jar and come up with a story about it.

Let's take another word: "PLANT". Compound letter - A, similar to a triangle. This means that you can draw a triangular building of the factory. And if before this word was the word "MILK", you can tell the child that milk is bottled in this factory - in round jars. All this helps us to connect imagination and make faceless words come to life and familiar.

Second game: making up stories.

The essence of the game is to come up with phrases in which all complex letters will be clear and simple. For example, the milk is wet. In the first word, the letter is incomprehensible, and in the second - no one will be mistaken, write O. But the phrase for the second letter: milk in a spoon. Let's go to the plant tomorrow. If it comes out funny, that's very good: it will be remembered faster this way.

And the last tip: do not put off vocabulary words until the last day, because in order for the words to be well remembered, it will take time.

Mnemonics are various techniques and methods of memorizing information based on the properties of the psyche and facilitating the strengthening of certain types of information in memory. With these tricks, you can quickly and firmly memorize phone numbers, dates and numbers.

1. Alphanumeric code... The essence of this method is that each number is assigned a certain consonant letter. For example: 0 - N, 1 - R (times), 2 - D, 3 - T, 4 - H, 5 - P, 6 - W, 7 - S, 8 - H, 9 - M ("a lot", t k. D is already taken). To memorize a single number, you need to take the letters corresponding to it and form a word. 29 - D + M = HOUSE. To memorize a large number, you need to break it down into such words and make up a phrase from them that you need to remember.

There are also more complex variants of the alphanumeric code. For example, the code by V. Kozarenko: 1 - ГЖ; 2 - diesel fuel; 3 - KX; 4 - CHS; 5 - PB; 6 - ШЛ; 7 - SZ; 8 - VF; 9 - RC; 0 - MN.

Alphanumeric code by T. Buzan: 1 - TD; 2 - H; 3 - M; 4 - H; 5 - Best Puppy; 6 - SHZH; 7 - GK; 8 - VF; 9 - BP; 0 - ЗС.

Of course, you need to learn the alphanumeric code well and know it as a multiplication table. In my opinion, the first method is the easiest in everyday use, because you don't need to memorize the first letters of the numbers, you just need to adapt to quickly find the right words to memorize and put them into phrases.

2. Shedd system... Each digit is assigned a word containing the number of letters equal to the digit. For example: how (3) to learn (7) the number (5) - 375. The number 0 can correspond to words of 10 letters or punctuation marks. 3750 - how to learn a number? (? = 0), or “how to learn a number efficiently” (10 letters correspond to 0).

3. Assigning images to numbers... Two is like a swan, eight is like an infinity sign. To remember the number 28, you can imagine a swan carving an infinity sign on the surface of the water. This method has a significant disadvantage: when memorizing the number 82, we can imagine the same image, and confuse the numbers in places.

4. Associations with numbers... We have 5 fingers on our hand, and there are 7 colors in the rainbow. A similar meaning can be attributed to all numbers. And it will turn out: the number 57 is the hand holding the rainbow.

5. Finding a connection with familiar dates and numbers... The number 3112 is easy to remember by associating it with the date of the last day of the year, 803 with International Women's Day, etc.
