Literasi Chapter 2

 Chapter 2

 It was the month of January. I arrived at Lowood School at night. A servant took me up some stairs and into a big bedroom. /Sluha ma priviedol na schody do veľkej spálne./ There were many beds in the room. The girls in the beds were asleep. /spali/ The servant took me to an empty bed. I put on my nightclothes and I got into bed. Soon, I was asleep too.

I woke up very early.

I loud bell was ringing. /Počula som hlasné zvonenie./

The bedroom was dark and cold. I watched the other girls. They washed in cold water and they dressed quickly. There was a plain /prostý, jednoduchý/ brown dress next to my bed. And there was a pair of ugly /škaredé/, heavy shoes.

I washed quickly. Then I put on my new clothes. I was very hungry. I followed the other girls down the stairs. We sat down at long tables in a large dining-room. Our food was terrible. „The food is bad again,“ one of the girls said.

„Stand up!“ a teacher shouted. „Don´t talk!“

We walked into a big schoolroom and we sat down.

There were about eighty girls in the schoolroom.

And there were four classes.

The oldest girls were in the fourth class.

I was in the first class.

Four teachers came into the room and we began our lessons. The lessons were not interesting. First, we read some pages in a book. Then our teacher asked us questions about those pages.

After four hours, we went outside. It was very cold.

Very soon, /veľmi skoro/ a bell rang. Lessons started again.

Three weeks past. One afternoon, the head teacher /vedúci učiteľ/ came into the schoolroom. The head teacher´s name was Miss Temple. Mr. Brocklehurst was with her. We all stood up. I stood behind an older girl. I did not want Mr. Brocklehurst to see me. Mr. Brocklehurst walked slowly round the room. Everybody was very quiet. And then I dropped /pustila som/ my book! Pán Brocklehurst malú Jane zbadal a okamžite zareagoval.

„Ah! The new girl,“ he said. „Come here, Jane Eyre!“ Then he pointed at two of the older girls. „You two girls – put Jane Eyre on that high chair!“ he said.

„Look at Jane Eyre, everybody! This child is bad. She is a liar. She will be punische! Miss Temple! Teachers! Girls! Do not talk to this child.“

Then he spoke to me again.

„Jane Eyre, you must stand on that chair for two hours, you are a bad girl,“ he said.

That evening, I cried and cried. /kričala som/ But Miss Temple was kind to me. „You are a good pupil, Jane. And you are not a bad girl. I am your friend, Jane,“ she said.
