Помогите пожалуйста перевести текст, только не при помощи переводчика, очень надо, заранее спасибо) When the American Minister, Mr Hiram B Otis, bought the large old house called Canterville Chase, everyone told him that he was very foolish. Even Lord Canterville, who wanted to sell the house, tried to tell Mr Otis that it was a mistake to buy it.
I must be honest with you, Mr Otis, said Lord Canterville, it visits anyone who lives or stays her. My poor old aunt, the Dowager Duchess of Bolton, once felt two hands on her shoulders as the dressed for dinner. The hands were cold and hard, like the hands of a skeleton. My poor aunt was very frightened. She became ill, and she never really got better. That is why my family and I do not like to stay here any more.
Did anyone else see the ghost? Asked Mr Otis.
The Reverend Augustus Dampier also saw it, said Lord Canterville. Dampier went to Cambridge University you know. He s very clever and not the kind of man who imagines things.
No, of course not said Mr Otis.
After the terrible thing that happened to my dear aunt most of our servants left the house and didn’t want to come back here to work. My poor wife Lady Canterville could not sleep at night. She was frightened and of course the strange noises that we hear in the halls and in the library make us even more afraid.
Im not afraid said Mr Otis. I want to take the house and the ghost. I come from a modern country where we have everything that money can buy. There is nothing in Europe that we don’t have in America. If there were ghosts we would have some too there are no ghosts in America you known!
Lord Canterville smiled.
Im afraid that the ghost is real he said. It is more than three hundred years old for members of my family first saw it in 1584. Shortly before any member of my family dies the ghost appears.
Mr Otis laughed.
Im sorry he said but I don’t believe in ghosts. There is no such thing!
<span>Well smiled Lord Canterville I hope you are happy it the house but you must remember that I warned you and you did not listen to me.</span>
Когда американский министр,Хирам Б. Отис,купил большой старый дом под названием усадьба Кентервиль,каждый сказал ему,что он ужасно глуп. И даже лорд Кентервиль,который хотел продать дом,пытался сказать мистеру Отису о том,что купить его было ошибкой. "Я должен быть честен с Вами,мистер Отис",сказал лорд Кентервиль,"это придёт к любому,кто живёт или просто останавливается здесь. Моя бедная старая тётушка,вдова,герцогиня Болтонская однажды,одеваясь к ужину,почувствовала на своих плечах две руки. Руки были холодны и жестки,как руки скелета. Моя бедная тётушка была так напугана. Она заболела и никогда больше не выздоровела. Потому моя семья не хочет здесь более оставаться." "А видел ли приведение кто-нибудь ещё?",спросил мистер Отис. "Его видел преподобный Огастус Дампье",ответил лорд."Как вы знаете,Огастус закончил Кэмбридж. Он чрезвычайно умён и не из тех людей,что могут приврать." "Нет,конечно нет",произнёс мистер Отис. "После того,что произошло с моей дорогой тётей,большинство слуг покинули наш дом и не хотят возвращаться. Моя бедная жена,леди Кентервиль,не могла спать по ночам. Она была страшно напугана и те звуки в холлах и библиотеке,конечно же,пугают ещё больше." "Я не боюсь",ответил мистер Отис."Я хочу взять и дом,и приведение. Я из той страны,где имущие деньги могут позволить себе всё. В Европе нет ничего,что бы ни было в Америке. Если здесь есть приведения,то они должны быть и у нас,ведь в Америке их нет,как вы знаете." Лорд Кентервиль улыбнулся. "Я боюсь,что приведение действительно существует",сказал он."Ему больше 300 лет,впервые моя семья увидела его в 1584 году. Призрак появляется незадолго до того,как умирает один из членов семьи." Мистер Отис усмехнулся. "Простите",сказал он,"но я не верю в привидения. Их просто не существует!" "Ну что же",улыбнулся лорд Кентервиль,"я надеюсь,вы будете счастливы в этом доме,но помните: я предупреждал вас,а вы меня не послушали."

Citizens of Russia have the right to education which is guaranteed by the Constitution and ensured by the broad development of compulsory secondary education, vocational, specialised secondary and higher education, by the development of correspondence and evening courses, by the provisions of state scholarships, grants and privileges for students. In Russia there is a nine-year compulsory education, but to enter a university one has to study two years more. School-starts at the age of six for Russian children. But most of them have learnt letters in kindergarten which is now part of primary school. Primary and secondary schools together comprise eleven years of study. Every school has a "core curriculum" of Russian, mathematics, sciences, PT. A variety of subjects are taught at lyceums and gymnasiums. After finishing secondary school, lyceum or gymnasium one can go on to higher education. All applicants must take competitive examinations. Entrance examinations are held in July and August. Higher educational institutions are headed by Rectors. Vice-rectors are in charge of the academic and scientific work. Higher educational institutions train undergraduates and graduate students in one or several specialisation's. The faculties are headed by the Deans. There are departments within faculties. The system of higher education in Russia is going through a transitional period. The main objectives of the reform are: decentralisation of the higher education system, development of the autonomy of higher educational institutions, expansion of academic freedoms of faculties and students, development of new financial mechanism. All Russian schools until recently were state-subsidised. In the terms of the ration of students to the total population Russia ranks among the top ten countries in the world. The Russian educational policy is a combination of economic and social objectives. An educated person contributes more to the society and education on the other hand gives a person the prospect for professional advance. The citizens of Russia show a great concern for education for themselves and their children. Institutions of higher education include: technical training, schools, teachers training colleges, universities which offer master's and doctoral degrees programmes. <span>The faculties have specialised councils for conferring advanced academic degrees.</span>
