If You Have Time
Natalie was packing her suitcases. She was 20 years old, and she was both nervous and
excited. The next day she was travelling to Paris to study. She was almost finished packing
when her father walked into the room. He held two small black-and-white photos in his hand.
“When I was your age, I travelled, too,” he said in Armenian, his native language. «I came to
the US. On the way, I stopped in Syria at my cousin’s family for a few weeks. She and her
husband had four children — a son and three daughters. They’re the family in these photos. I
heard from a relative that the daughters might be living in Paris now. I know you’ll be busy in
Paris. But I hope you’ll have time to look for these girls. I’d like to know how they are. And I’d
like them to meet you.»
Mr. Garibian showed Natalie the names written on the back. «The girls are probably married
and have different names,” he continued. “Maybe they don’t even live in Paris. Still, I hope you
have time to Look for them.»
Natalie took the photos from her father and sighed. «If I have time, Papa,» Natalie answered
in Armenian.
Natalie knew that she would have to study hard in Paris. She wanted to travel a little, too.
How would she find time to look for the girls? She didn’t know what their names were, or
where they lived. Looking for them would be like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Natalie
put the photos at the bottom of her suitcase. She did not intend to spend her semester in
Paris Looking for the little girls — grown women now — who had met her father thirty years ago.
When Natalie arrived in Paris, she immediately got down to business. During the week, she
went to classes, and on long weekends she took train trips throughout Europe. The summer
and autumn passed. The days got shorter, darker, and colder. Natalie felt homesick. She
missed her family. She remembered seeing a small stone Armenian church in Paris. She
decided to go there for a church service, just to hear Armenian spoken again.
When Natalie arrived at the church, she was surprised to see that it was crowded. She found
a chair and sat down. A few minutes later, she saw a woman about 70 years old walking up and
down the aisle on the other side of the church, looking for an empty chair. The woman was
bent over and seemed to have trouble walking. Several people offered her their seats, but she
shook her head and kept walking in Natalie’s direction. A few minutes later, she was standing
next to Natalie.
Natalie stood up and, in Armenian, offered the woman her seat. The woman sat down.
Natalie looked around; the only seat left was at the end of the row, against the stone wall, so
Natalie sat down there. All through the service, the woman kept staring at her. When the
service ended, the woman asked her in Armenian, » You’re not from here, are you?»
Natalie was dismayed. She had lived in the United States her whole life, but she had always
spoken Armenian with her parents. She wondered if she spoke Armenian with an American
accent. «No, I’m not from here,» Natalie answered. «How did you know?» «I’m not from here,
either,» the woman answered. «I’m visiting my daughters. But I’ve noticed that the young
Armenians, the ones who grow up here, don’t speak Armenian. They all speak French. You
speak Armenian — good Armenian so I knew you weren’t from here. Where are you from?» «I’m
from the United States,» Natalie answered. «Ah, I have relatives in the United States,» the
woman said. She began to say their names: «Sarkis, Dikran, Ara…» «Ara?» Natalie asked. Ara
was Natalie’s father’s name. «I saw Ara thirty years ago, in Syria,» the woman answered. «He
stayed with my family on his way to the United States. Such a nice young man.»
Natalie began to cry. «That’s my father,» she said. The woman raised her hands and said:
“God’s work. I’ve been looking for your father for thirty years. I knew you were something
special. I knew it in your face.»
Natalie had wanted to hear Armenian because she missed her family. She thought they were
all thousands of miles away. Not all of them were far away. One of them was sitting near her,
in a small stone church in Paris.

before.

with her studies.

did not plan to search for the people in them.

elderly woman.

local because she could speak Armenian.
The woman explained that she had known
Natalie’s father many years earlier during his
journey to America.
Natalie’s father gave her photos of three sisters
he had met in Syria.

Задание 4. Reading
Read the texts. For each question, choose the correct text. You may use any text more than
once.
“Pride and Prejudice” by Jane Austen
“Pride and Prejudice,” published in 1813, is one of the most popular novels in English
literature. It tells the story of the Bennet family, focusing on Elizabeth Bennet and her
complicated relationship with the wealthy Mr Darcy. The book explores themes such as love,
social class, and the danger of judging people too quickly. Austen’s style is witty and ironic,
and she carefully shows the differences between appearance and reality. Many readers enjoy
the sharp dialogue and the way characters gradually change their opinions of each other.
Although the novel is set in the early nineteenth century, its exploration of family pressures
and romantic misunderstandings still feels modern. “Pride and Prejudice” has inspired
countless adaptations for film and television and continues to be studied and enjoyed around
the world.
“1984” by George Orwell
“1984.” published in 1949, is a dystopian novel that imagines a future society controlled by a
totalitarian government. The main character, Winston Smith, lives under constant surveillance
and is forced to accept the official version of reality, even when he knows it is false. The ruling
Party uses propaganda, fear, and strict control of language to keep power. Orwell introduces
ideas such as “Big Brother,” who is always watching, and “Newspeak,” a simplified language
designed to limit free thought. The story shows how dangerous it can be when a government
has too much control over information and people’s private lives. Although “1984” was
written more than seventy years ago, it is frequently mentioned in discussions about privacy,
censorship, and political power. The book has had a strong influence on modern culture and
remains a powerful warning about the loss of freedom.
“To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee
“To Kill a Mockingbird,” published in 1960, is set in a small town in the American South during
the 1930s. The story is told by a young girl called Scout Finch, whose father, Atticus, is a
lawyer. When Atticus defends a Black man wrongly accused of a crime, Scout and her brother
Jem witness the racism and injustice in their community. The novel deals with serious themes
such as prejudice, courage, and moral responsibility, but it also includes warm and humorous
moments from Scout’s childhood. Harper Lee uses simple, clear language that makes difficult
topics easier to understand. The character of Atticus Finch is often seen as a model of
integrity and fairness. “To Kill a Mockingbird” has won major awards, is widely taught in
schools, and continues to spark discussion about equality and human rights.
“The Great Gatsby” by F. Scott Fitzgerald
“The Great Gatsby,” published in 1925, is set in the United States during the “Roaring
Twenties,” a period of economic growth and social change. The narrator, Nick Carraway, moves
to long Island and becomes fascinated by his mysterious neighbour, Jay Gatsby, who throws
extravagant parties. Gatsby is in love with Daisy Buchanan and hopes to win her back,
believing that he can repeat the past. The novel looks at themes such as the American Dream,
wealth, and the emptiness behind luxury. Fitzgerald’s writing style is lyrical and rich with
symbolism, using images like the green light across the bay and the eyes on a billboard to
suggest deeper meanings. Although “The Great Gatsby” was not a big success when it first
appeared, it later became recognised as a classic. Today, it is widely studied for its portrait of
ambition, illusion, and disappointment.
“Jane Eyre” by Charlotte Bronté
“Jane Eyre,” first published in 1847, is the story of an orphaned girl who struggles to find
independence and love in a strict Victorian society. After a difficult childhood at a harsh
school, Jane becomes a governess at Thornfield Hall, where she meets the mysterious Mr
Rochester. As their relationship develops, Jane discovers a dark secret hidden in the house,
forcing her to make painful choices. The novel explores themes such as social class, gender
roles, and moral integrity, and it presents a strong female character who insists on respecting
herself and others. Bronté combines elements of romance, mystery, and social criticism, using
expressive, emotional language. “Jane Eyre” has remained popular with readers and in 2003
was ranked as the tenth best-loved book by the BBC.
