Activity-1
Read the following text and prepare
yourself for speaking and writing alone.
Lomov, a long-time neighbor of Chubukov,
has come to propose marriage to Chubukov's 25-year-old daughter, Natalia. After
he has asked and received joyful permission to marry Natalia, she is invited
into the room, and he tries to convey to her the proposal. Lomov tries to make
clear his reasons for being there and later gets into an argument with Natalia
about the Oxen, Meadows and a disputed
piece of land between their respective properties, which results in him having palpitations and numbness in his leg. After her father notices they are
arguing, he joins in, and then sends Lomov out of the house. While Chubukov rants
about Lomov, he expresses his shock that "This fool dares to make you
(Natalia) a proposal of marriage!" She immediately starts into hysterics,
begging for her father to bring him back. After that again, Natalia and Lomov get into a second big
argument, this time about the superiority of their respective hunting dogs,
Guess and Squeezer. Lomov collapses from his exhaustion over arguing and father
and daughter fear he is dead. However, after a few minutes he regains
consciousness, and Chubukov forces him and his daughter to accept the proposal
with a kiss. Immediately following the kiss, the couple gets into another
argument.
