His advice on the skills is equally straightforward: attempt to master the basics … But never be afraid to try something new.In Cricket My Way, Ian elaborates on his philosophy, explaining just why a positive attitude to all matches can pay dividends and how much he, despite his reputation as a brilliant individualist, places a heavy reliance on the traditional skills of the game.Packed with examples from his own experiences, and illustrated with both photographs and diagrams, Ian’s book is a forceful affirmation of his view that cricket, played well, can be the most exciting game in the world.

The Cricket on the Hearth / Сверчок за очагом. Книга для чтения на английском языке
Автор: Чарльз Диккенс
Год издания:
Предлагаем вниманию читателей рождественскую повесть классика английской и мировой литературы Ч. Диккенса «Сверчок за очагом».
В большом уютном доме, где все проникнуто согласием и любовью, неожиданно появляется некий загадочный странник. В дом его привел сам хозяин – почтовый возчик Джон, подобравший промерзшего старика на дороге. В доме поселилась тревога. Чувствуют ее и прелестная хозяйка Мэри, которую муж называет Крошкой, и юная нянька Тилли, и невидимый для всех, но постоянно присутствующий добрый дух и хранитель домашнего очага Сверчок. Начинается почти детективная история, которая может привести к ужасной несправедливости. Но добро сильно, хотя порой и наивно. Мудрый Сверчок не позволит «погаснуть очагу». На пороге Рождество, а в рождественскую ночь каких только чудес не случается…
Предлагаем вниманию читателей текст повести с комментариями и словарем.
