An Englishman went to stay at a hotel in Paris. On the first morning, he went to have breakfast. There were no tables free, so he sat at the same table as a Frenchman.
When the Englishman's breakfast arrived, the Frenchman said: "Bon Appetit" The Englishman thought that it was his name. He replied by saying his own name: "Sidebottom". This happened every day for a week.
At the end of the week, an English friend of Sidebottom's arrived at the hotel.
"I want you to meet my friend, Mr Bon Appetit", said Sidebottom.

Задание для учащихся 11 класса
My name is Diana Spencer, which of course was Princess Diana's name before she married Prince Charles. You can't imagine how difficult life is. No one believes me when I say my name, and it can be really embarrassing in banks and post offices. I have to take my passport everywhere to prove it's my real name. And I can't even try to book theatre tickets by telephone. People think I'm trying to get free tickets!
My name is Paul MacCartney, and I quite enjoy it when people say: Are you the Paul MacCartney? I am about 30 years younger than Paul MacCartney, but no one seems to think about that. The funny thing is that my girlfriend's name is Linda, which is Paul's wife name.
My name is Julie Roberts, not Jullia Roberts, but people always think I say Jullia Roberts. No, Jullie, I say. Really? They say.......what's it like having the same name as a famous film star? It gets quite boring, actually.
My name is Allan Shakespeare. As far as I know, I am no relation at all to William Shakespeare, but you have to agree that it's an unusual name. I don't mind when people ask me if I'm related to him. Sometimes I say yes, he is a very nice man. But I nearly got into trouble once when a policeman stopped me in the street and asked my name. He nearly arrested me. Fortunately, I had some identification with me.
My name is Michael Jackson. It always makes people laugh when i say it. For a start, I 'm white and I'm nearly bald. Secondly, I can't sing and thirdly, I'm a terrible dancer. I actually know three other people called Michael Jackson. But then, it's not very usual name, is it?

2.1. Answer the questions
1. How does Diana Spencer prove who she is?
2. Why is it strange that people think Paul MacCartney is the famous one?
3. Does Jullie Roberts enjoy being confused with Julia Roberts?
4. How did Alen Shakespear avoid being arrested?
5. What's the difference between Michael Jackson and the singer with the same name?

2.2 Find the differences and make the sentences correct

Agatha Christy (1891-1976) is one of the world's best- known and best loved authors. Her famous detectives, Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple, and her brilliantly constructed plots have caught the imagination of generations of readers. Although she lived to an old age and wrote many books, she did not reveal much about her personal life.
In December 1926 an incident occurred which would have made a detective story in itself. At the height of her success with her first novel, she apparently vanished into thin air for ten days. At that time she was extremely distressed because she had found out that her husband was having an affair with another woman and wanted a divorce. She was sleeping badly, she couldn't write and she was eating very little.
On Friday 3d December, Agatha told her secretary and companion, Carlo ( Miss Charlotte Fisher), that she wanted a day alone. When Carlo returned in the evening, she found that the garage door had been left open and the maids were looking frightened. According to them, Mrs. Christie had come downstairs at about eleven in the evening, had got into her car and had driven off quickly without saying anything to anybody.
Carlo waited anxiously all night but Agatha did not return. Early the next morning the police found Agatha's car in the ditch with it's lights on. There was no trace of Agatha.
A nation- wide hunt for the missing novelist was started. The police were suspicious. Did the servants know something? Newspapers printed wild stories about her disappearance - that she had committed suicide, that she had been kidnapped, that she had ran away with a secret lover; some even suggested that she had planned the whole thing as a publicity stunt ( an action to gain attention)
The mystery ended ten days later when Agatha was found alive and well in Harrogate, a health spa in Yorkshshire. Her husband explained to the waiting reporters that she had lost her memory. But to this day, nobody really knows what happened during those missing ten days.

Текст для школ и классов с углубленным изучением иностранного языка

By the time Janet had been five days in hospital she had become converted to the idea of a domestic robot. It had taken her two days to discover that Nurse James was a robot, one day to recover from the surprise, and two more to realize what a comfort an attendant robot could be. Nurse James was the first with which she had come into close personal contact and it came as a revelation.
Janet told the doctor of her enlightenment and he looked relieved. She also told George when he visited in the afternoon: he was delighted. 'Excellent', said the doctor. 'To tell you the truth, I thought we were up against a real neurosis there'. 'I know,' George agreed. 'I tried hard to persuade her to get a robot during the first two years we were married, but it only led to troubles so I had to drop it. The trouble is that the newest robot any of our friends has is ten years old at least. She'd never considered anything as advanced as Nurse James. The question now is what sort of robot?'
The doctor thought for a moment. 'Frankly, Mr. Shand, your wife is going to need a lot of rest and looking after. What I really recommend is the Nurse James model. A specially developed high- sensibility job with a quite novel contrabalanced compassion circuit - a very tricky piece of work, that - any direct order which a normal robot would obey immediately is evaluated by the circuit, and unless it is harmless to the patient, is not obeyed. But there is a pretty big demand for them, and I'm afraid they're rather expensive.'
'How much'? The doctor's price made George frown for a moment. Then he said: 'Where do I get one?' 'It's not as easy as that' , the doctor told him, 'but I expect I'll be able to make you a priority. Now you go and fix up the details of appearance and so on with your wife. Let me know how she wants it and I'll get busy.' 'A proper one', said Janet. One that'll look right in a house, I mean. As it's got to look after the house, let's have it looking like a housemaid. It can have a black silk dress and a frilly apron and a cap. And I'd like it blond, about five feet ten, and nice to look at but not too beautiful!'
It was delivered the day Janet got back from hospital.
George went out to borrow the next-door robot to carry the case in. They laid it on the kitchen floor. George opened the lid. He pushed a Layer of soft packing material out of the way and there, ready dressed in black dress and apron, lay the robot. Janet knelt down beside the box and touched the perfect complexion. It was quite, quite cold.
