“The Open Window” is a short story written by Saki and in this case the author provides evidence that Mrs Sappleton knew what her niece was doing and her ability for storytelling.  

Option A) is the correct one “She says that Framton acts like he has seen a ghost.” since it explains why Framton  left the place running as it coincides with the story told by the niece about ghosts.  

Option B) is incorrect since there is no evidence that Mrs Sappleton believed the story about dogs told by the niece when Framton ran away.

Option C) is also incorrect since she never tells her husband that Vera scared Framton.

Option D) is also incorrect since even though she asks Framton if her niece has been amusing him, she does not say it to let the reader know she knows about her niece.

Answer:

D. She asks Framton if Vera has been amusing him.

Explanation:

In this story, we meet Framton, who is visiting Mrs. Sappleton and her niece Vera. As Mrs. Sappleton leaves the niece and Framton for a little while, Vera tells Framton a story. The story is false, and she does so with the purpose of amusing herself. However, Framton believes all of it. As Mrs. Sappleton comes back, she asks Framton whether Vera has been amusing him. The question indicates that Mrs. Sappleton is aware of Vera's storytelling ability and that she most likely finds this ability amusing.

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

One month can make a difference to anything in your life so there should be no problem when studying English. Just make sure you are prepared and have all the necessary books and information required. It will be hard work to study in such a way for thirty days.

10 top tips for improving your spoken English:

1.) Speak, speak, speak!

Be confident and speak as often as possible to as many people as you possibly can! Do not be shy to make mistakes! The more you practice the better and more confident you will become in your pronunciation and vocabulary.

2.) Use technology

A smartphone can be a powerful tool for learning languages. Use it to record yourself speaking then listen back to see how your English sounds to other people.

3.)Listen

Listen to news bulletins and songs in English to listen to the pronunciation of words. You can also learn new words and expressions this way. The more you listen, the more you learn! Try copying what you hear to practise your pronunciation and learn which words in a sentence are stressed.

4.)Read out loud

Read the newspaper or a magazine out to yourself. You could even find a script for your favourite TV show and act it out! This is a great way to practise pronunciation because you only need to concentrate on making sure you English sounds great and don’t need to worry about sentence structure or grammar.

5.) Learn a new word every day

Choose a word you would like to work on and use practice it in different sentences. Use the word until you have learnt it and keep using it regularly.

6.) Watch films

Watch movies in English and pay attention to new vocabulary and pronunciation. Imitate the actors and have fun with it.

7.) Make friends

Make friends with English speakers or others learning to speak English and compare notes. Talk about things that you have learnt and exchange ideas.

8.) Do interesting activities in English

Take a cooking course in English or join a book club! Anything you enjoy doing, make sure you do it and communicate it in English. Using English to talk about things you enjoy will make practising a positive experience.

9.) Have a debate

Debate all the topics that interest you with friends in English. Try to use as much vocabulary as you can to get your point across and listen to the other arguments carefully so you can argue against them effectively.

10.) Use a dictionary

Online dictionaries often have audio examples so you can check your pronunciation and there are lots of great dictionary apps that you can take everywhere with you on your smartphone. Make sure not to become too reliant on these tools, though. Have a go at saying the words first then check afterwards to see if you were right!
