Question

Задать 5 вопросов разных типов на английском языке. Long ago many towns had walls round them. As you walked round a town you came every hundred yards or so to towers that stood out from the walls and rose high above them, so that no enemy could come up to the wall to pull it down without being shot at from loopholes in the towers. On each side of the gates the towers were higher and stronger than usual. The arch ofthe gate had a portcullis in it, and, if there was a moat round the town, a drawbridge also. From a long way offit was possible to see the church towers rising high above the red-tiled roofs of the houses. Roundabout the walls there were the meadows where cattle pastured, and where the citizens, on holidays, ran races, held sports or walked more soberly about. Ifthe great bell in the church tower were suddenly to ring loudly and quickly in times o! danger, you would have seen them all give up sporting and walking and hurriedlyre-enter the city not to be shut on the wrong side of the wall. On busy days the roads leading to the gates were crowded. You might have seen a knight in armour riding to war with his squires behind him, or perhaps a jolly band of young men or women going out with hawks on list to chase the herons that flew with their long legs behind them up and down the river. On market day fanners came to sell cheese, butter, eggs and other things to the citizens. Some ofthem carried their wives on pillions behind them. Here and there drawbridge also.

Here and there you might have seen a merchant with his goods on the back of pack- horses. He carried his goods in this way partly because the roads were too full of holes and mud for carts to travel, and partly because he often wanted to go where there were no roads at all. They all got out of the way of the hawking party. It is not pleasant to be rolled into the mud or have all one s eggs cracked.
