It’s high time to begin the second trigonal. Answer only one question in order to choose a path:
You are Mark Twain. You came to an unknown town to read a lecture. You went to a shop and asked a shop-girl: “Where can I go tonight?”. She answered: “Mark Twain a famous writer is going to read a lecture. But you’ll have to stay because there are no tickets”. What will you answer? Let’s relax and listen to a song “Love story” performed by a pupil of the 9th form…
The participant who answered in a right way – choose the path. ( The correct answer is: When this person speak I always have to stand). The red path has got only 2 steps, but you can’t make a mistake. The yellow path has got 3 steps, you can make 1 mistake. The green path has got 4 steps, you can make 2 mistakes. What path will you choose?
The 1st question to the red participant: Now you’ll see the episode from the novel, which has become one of the most popular books for children. Who wrote it? What is the name of the book? Where did he write?
The pupils show the episode. (Mark Twain – Samuel Clemens “The adventures of Tom Sawyer”, on board of a ship when he was a sailor). You’re right. You’ll pass to the second question.

They would be as clever as you and as beautiful as me”. What did the great humorist reply? (What will we do – if they would be as clever as you and as beautiful as me?). The game is over for you. Or you are the winner. Or you’ve lost the game! Cheer up!
