### In the lessons

In Alice, Wonderland is a place where nothing follows normal rules: drinks make you shrink, a cat grins and vanishes, and the Queen wants to cut off everyone's head. At the end Alice wakes up and it was a dream. In everyday life people use the word for a place that seems too good or strange to be real. Phrases: «winter wonderland», «a toy wonderland», «Alice in Wonderland».
