1. Listen to a new passage of the text and trace down the events that happened to Alice here. Expand the suggested outline by making use of the key words and phrases in the brackets.

3. Alice tries to make a polite conversation with the birds and animals (to be a capital one for sth).
4. Alice’s speech causes a sensation among the party (to make various excuses, in a great hurry).

8. The Caterpillar talks to Alice (languid, sleepy).

2. Alice couldn’t explain to the Caterpillar what she meant because

Pay attention to the contrast between the form of the young man’s questions (inquisitive, earnest insistent, emploring, pleading) and the insignificant, absolutely non-serious character of the things that arouse the young man’s interest, and, similarly, between the air of importance that the old man assumes while answering the questions of the young man and the comical nature of the contents of his replies.
Compare the song with the poem “You are Old, Father William” by Robert Southerly. (See the text of the poem below).
You are Old, Father William by Robert Southey (1774-1843)
“You are old, father William”, the young man cried,
“The few locks which are left are grey;
You are hale, father William, a hearty old man;
Now tell me the reason, I pray”.
“In the days of my youth”, father William replied,
“I remembered that youth would fly fast,
And abused not my health and my vigour at first,
That I never might need them at last”.
“You are old, father William”, the young man cried,
“And pleasures with you pass away.
And yet you lament not the days that are gone;
Now tell me the reason, I pray”.
“In the days of my youth”, father William replied,
“I remembered that youth could not last;
I thought of the future whatever I did,
That I never might grieve for the past”.
“You are old, father William”, the young man cried,
“And life must be hast’ning away;
You are cheerful and love to converse upon death;
Now tell me the reason, I pray”.
“I am cheerful, young man”, father William replied,
“Let the cause thy attention engage;
In the days of my youth I remembered my God,
And He hath not forgotten my age”.
