THE TRAINING OF A KNIGHT

In medieval England if a boy wanted to be a knight - and what a boy didn't - he had to begin at about the age of seven. Usually he was taken from his home and sent to school at the castle of one of the great barons, perhaps that of his father's overlord. At first he was given over to the women who taught him table manners and how to behave in the house.

These young boys were called pages and as they grew older they had an increasing list of duties to perform. They waited on the ladies. They ran errands. They began to learn the endless list of terms applied to hunting, to falconry, to serving a table. They might be taught to read and write by a priest, who also taught them religion. And always, they had the idea drilled into them that some day they would be knights.

When the boys could find time, they loved to loiter about the stables or the armory, caring for the horses, or listening wide-eyed to the esquires or squires who were apprentice knights. When the pages reached the age of fourteen, they could hope to pass over to this high position themselves. From the time a boy graduated from pagehood until he won his golden spurs, he was an esquire and spent most of his time practicing with weapons. Esquire means "shield bearer," and when he grew older — sixteen or so - that's exactly what he was. He was assigned to the personal service of his lord, or of some other knight. He carried the knight's heavy shield for him on journeys. He attended to the knight and armed him for a tournament or battle. He kept his weapons in good condition, and got him out of danger if he were wounded. And all the time, of course, he was supposed to be learning the principles of chivalry from his master - courage, honor, faith, devotion to duty - and the use of arms.

1. Listening. Listen to the text A strange picture
A rich American went to Paris and bought a very strange picture painted by a fashionable modern artist. The American thought the picture was very fine because he had paid a lot of money for it. But when he came to his hotel and wanted to hang the picture up on the wall, he couldn’t tell which was the top and which the bottom of the picture. The American turned the picture this way and that, but still couldn’t decide which was the top and which was the bottom.

So he thought of a plan. He hung the painting in the dining-room and invited the artist to dinner. When the artist came, the American said nothing to him about the picture.

When the artist began to eat the soup, he looked at the picture many times. When he began to eat his fish, he put on his glasses and looked at the picture again. Before he began to eat his fruit, he got up and walked over to the picture to look at it more closely. At last when they began to drink their coffee, he understood that picture was upside down.

“Why, my friend”, he said,” my picture is hung upside down”.

“Oh, is it?” said the American. “Why didn’t you tell me so at once?”

“Well, you see, I was not sure myself at first”, said the artist.
