1) Read the following text taken from Jane Austens book Sense and sensibility

Elinor, this eldest daughter, whose advice was so effectual, possessed a strength of
understanding, and coolness of judgment, which qualified her, though only nineteen, to be the
counsellor of her mother, and enabled her frequently to counteract, to the advantage of them all,
that eagerness of mind in Mrs. Dashwood which must generally have led to imprudence. She
had an excellent heart; -her disposition was affectionate, and her feelings were strong; but she

knew how to govern them: it was a knowledge which her mother had yet to learn; and which one
of her sisters had resolved never to be taught.

Marianne's abilities were, in many respects, quite equal to Elinor's. She was sensible and clever;
but eager in everything: her sorrows, her joys, could have no moderation. She was generous,
amiable, interesting: she was everything but prudent. The resemblance between her and her
mother was strikingly great.

Elinor saw, with concern, the excess of her sister's sensibility; but by Mrs. Dashwood it was
valued and cherished. They encouraged each other now in the violence of their affliction. The
agony of grief which overpowered them at first, was voluntarily renewed, was sought for, was
created again and again. They gave themselves up wholly to their sorrow, seeking increase of
wretchedness in every reflection that could afford it, and resolved against ever admitting
consolation in future. Elinor, too, was deeply afflicted; but still she could struggle, she could exert
herself. She could consult with her brother, could receive her sister in law on her arrival, and
treat her with proper attention; and could strive to rouse her mother to similar exertion, and
encourage her to similar forbearance.

Margaret, the other sister, was a good-humored, well-disposed girl; but as she had already
imbibed a good deal of Marianne's romance, without having much of her sense, she did not, at
thirteen, bid fair to equal her sisters at a more advanced period of life.

7. My Reflections on the Lesson

Simple past is a very easy verb time for learning; it is used chiefly for relating past events.
