Theatre & cinema in Britain, USA & Russia.
Today many people in GB, USA & Russia are very busy, they spend all their time working, with their families & friends. Some of them don"t go to cinema, theatre, don"t read books. But there is a group of people who think that theatre & cinema are very important.
The history of the cinema began in 1895 in France when the Lumiere brothers demonstrated the first film " Arrival of the train". But the capital of the film entertainment is America. In 1911 the first film studio appeared in Hollywood, in Los Angeles. First films were silent & black & white. The first colour film appeared in 1939 ("Gone with the wind"). In Russia the first film was demonstrated in 1896 in Moscow & St. Petersburg. Sound films appeared in 1920-s.
In GB film production is not so popular as in USA & Russia. When British producers want to make films they usually go to America.
3. There are many genres of films: As for me, I like… because…
I don"t like…(B 10-11 pp. 184-185).
Cinema is also associated with different professions:
We all know the names of famous B., A., R. actors & producers: (B10-11 pp. 1180-181, Reader pp 68-69, 75-77).
Theatre is also a popular way to spend free time. There are a lot of different theatres in A., R., & GB.: Covent Garden , The National Theatre (GB), The Bolshoi Theatre, The Sovremennik, The Lenkom (R).
Theatrical genres are different: opera , operetta, ballet, musical & so on. I love (dislike) theatre… because… I especially prefer…(B 10-11 pp. 185,190). But I don"t have a chance to watch films & plays in the cinema & theatre very often, that"s why I watch them on TV.
5 Билет 1 (1) ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE
Arthur Conan Doyle was born in the capital of Scotland, Edinburgh. His father, Charles E. Doyle, was an artist and architect by profession, but he worked as a clerk in an office. The father died young and the Doyle family was very poor. Arthur"s mother was a very good story-teller and her fantastic stories he remembered all his life. The talent of story-telling Arthur inherited from his mother and it helped him as a writer. During his school years he read much, and he often told his school friends long and interesting stories, getting cakes and sweets.
After finishing school Conan Doyle became a student of the medical faculty m the University of Edinburgh, in his third year of studies he went as a ship"s doctor to the Arctic and after graduating from the University, he again went in a ship to Western Africa.
He began his medical practice in a small English town Southsea, where he spent eight years. Here in 1887, he published his first detective story "A Study in Scarlet". Its main characters were Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, and they became the most popular characters of a great many of Conan Doyle"s stories. "A Scandal in Bohemia" opened a collection of detective stories under the title "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes". The story was published in 1891 and soon after that Baker Street became the well-known address of Sherlock Holmes.
The readers asked for more and more stories about Sherlock Holmes and for two years Conan Doyle wrote them. When he had written about twenty stories with Sherlock Holmes as the main detective, he was so tired of these stories that he decided "to kill Sherlock Holmes". He wrote a story, which he named "Holmes"s Last Case" (1893). In this story Holmes was killed during a struggle with Professor Moriarty. The writer hoped that after that he could begin writing other books.
But the readers did not wish to lose their favourite character, and ten years later the famous detective appeared again.
In 1901-02 one of Conan Doyle"s best stories "The Hound of the Baskervilles" was published.
In 1891 Conan Doyle gave up his medical work and devoted all his time to his literary activity. He also travelled much. He visited Europe, the USA and Egypt. In Norway be met Jerome K. Jerome, who wrote about this fact in one of his books. Besides detective stories, Conan Doyle also wrote historical novels and war books. His two fantastic stories "The Lost World" (1912) and "The Poisoned Belt" (1913) were quite successful.
All his life Conan Doyle liked sports; he skied, played golf, and went for boxing.
He died in 1930. After his death, the famous detective Sherlock Holmes, together with his friend Dr. Watson, continued to be among the favourite characters of English literature and tourists coming to London always go to visit Baker Street to see the house where Sherlock Holmes lived.

Билет 15 (1) Oxbridge The foundation of the great schools which were named Universities was everywhere throughout Europe a special mark of the new impulse that Christendom had got from the Crusades. A new desire for study sprang up in the West from its contact with the more cultured East. Oxford and Cambridge are the oldest universities in England. Both of these universities are very beautiful. They have some of the finest architecture in Britain. Some of their colleges, chapels and libraries are three, four and even five hundred years old, and are full of valuable books and precious paintings. Of the early history of Cambridge little is known, but enough remains to enable us to trace the early steps by which Oxford gained its intellectual glory. The history of Cambridge is believed to begin in 1209 when several hundred students and scholars arrived at the little town of Cambridge after having walked 60 miles from Oxford. According to the custom they joined themselves into "Universitas" or a society of people with common employment. Only later they came to be associated with scholarship.Cambridge won independence from the Town rule in 1500. Students were of different ages and came from everywhere. Gradually the idea of the College developed and in 1284 Peter-house, the oldest College in Cambridge was established. In 1440 King Henry VI founded King"s College, and other colleges followed. The first college of Oxford University was founded in 1249. At that time with the revival of classic studies many teachers became enemies of parliament, and the Church. The lectures of Vicarious on the Civil Law at Oxford were prohibited by the English king. Now the university of Oxford has thirty-five colleges and about thirteen thousand students. There were no women students at Oxford until 1878, when the first women"s college, Lady Margaret Hall, was up. Now, most colleges are open to men and women. Oxford is famous for its first-class education as well as its beautiful buildings. Many students want to study there. It is not easy to get a place at Oxford University to study for a degree. But outside the university there are many smaller private colleges which offer less difficult courses and where it is easy to enrol.

Britain is only a small country, but every part is different. Scotland is a land of mountains, lakes and romantic castles. The winters are cold, with plenty of snow, but the summers are often warm and sunny. Deer live in the hills, and the rivers are full of salmon. Edinburgh, Scotland"s capital, is very beautiful. The heart of the city is the castle, where the kings of Scotland lived for centuries. Edinburgh has a busy cultural life. Every year, in August, the International Festival takes place. Musicians, actors and singers come from all over the world and thousands of visitors fill the city, In the evening, the opera house, the theatres and concert halls are full. In cafes and pubs, small groups sing, act and read poetry. The castle is at its best in Festival time. Every night there is a magnificent military «Tattoo». Highland soldiers wearing «kilts» play the bagpipes and march to the music. Tartans, the patterns of the kilts, have an interesting history. Since the fifteenth century, each Scottish family (or "clan") has worn its own tartan as a kind of badge. It was a useful way of recognising people, especially in times of war. Many tartans date only from the nineteenth century, but some of the old patterns still exist. «Dress» tartans, worn on special occasions, have light, bright colours. Hunting tartans are usually green, blue, or brown.
Wales is a country of high mountains and pretty valleys. But Wales has plenty of industry, too. There are many factories and coal mines there. The people of Wales are very musical. Every year they have a festival of Welsh music and poetry called an «Eisteddfod».
A hundred years ago the north of England was the industrial heart of the country. The old factories have gone now and the workers have to look for jobs in the new «high-tech» industries. The centre of England (the «Midlands») is also an important industrial area, especially near the huge cities of Coventry and Birmingham, the centre of car industry. The west of England is a rich farming country. It produces milk, cream, butter, cheese and apples. Northern Inland is beautiful too. In the warm, wet climate much of the land is farming.
Britain is an island and there is no place to be too far from the sea. Some of the coast, especially in the west, is wild and rocky, with small, sandy beaches, and romantic harbours.

A GREAT CHARACTER
Life is not always easy. Sometimes it presents serious problems that make people sad and cause despair. At such times it might be good to think about the example of Helen Keller, born in America in 1880. She never gave in.
There was nothing wrong with Helen when she was born. Her parents were very proud of their pretty baby. She was able to walk when she was one and could even say a few words. But one day she refused to eat and started crying. She had a high temperature and they had to call the doctor. When she recovered, it was clear that little Helen would never again be able to see or hear. Before Helen Keller was even two she was blind and deaf.
Her parents were very upset and at first decided to let her grow up untaught. But soon they understood that their pity could not help her, but could do her a lot of harm. They did their best to find a good teacher from the Institution for the Blind in Boston. It was a wonderful day for Helen Keller when Ann Sullivan came to their place. Ann by great effort and patience taught Helen the meaning of words.
When Ann arrived she was only 20, and Helen - 7. From the first day they became good friends. Helen turned out a very capable pupil: she quickly learned to communicate through sign language and later was good at reading, writing and typing in Braille. For fifty years they were good companions till 1936, when Ann died. It was due to the patience and skill of Ann Sullivan that Helen Keller developed into one of the most remarkable women of our time.
Miss Sullivan loved her pupil who was so quick to learn. She lived with Helen, played with her, and worked with her every hour of the day. By means of the hand language, Helen and her teacher were able to talk to each other. By this time she was also able to go on a vacation trip, to swim, to ride a pony, and to do many of the other things that any other child might do.
Helen was determined that she would learn to speak, too. At first she had difficulty with her speech, but Anne Sullivan understood what she was trying" to say. Helen practised speaking day after day until at last she developed a clear voice. Later she was able to speak before large crowds which came to hear her whenever she lectured.
When Helen Keller completed formal schooling she went on to college. She graduated from Radcliff with honours. One of Helen Roller"s professors was so pleased with the things that she wrote for her English classes that he suggested she write the story of her life. Helen did write «The Story of My Life» while she was in college. It was such a cheerful account of how this young girl was able to live a happy, useful life in spite of terrible difficulties. In her writings and lectures Helen Keller did everything possible to help and encourage those who were blind.

I find this idea a little bit old-fashioned.
Do you know many students who are keen on poetry, especially among boys?
I like this idea. We can organize an evening where everyone will be welcomed to read her/his favourite poem
Besides, we can light the candles to make the atmosphere very romantic
A picture exhibition
I don"t really like this idea. It seems to me childish
It takes a lot of time first to collect the pictures then to place them on the wall.
I think everyone likes to draw since her/his childhood. So this idea might be supported by other students.
The idea is not bad, but many people should be involved; rehearsals, music, costumes will take a lot of time.
We could stage some extract from one of famous musicals. They are very popular now. I think everybody will like it.
I think we all are bored to death with school discos.
I am in favour of this idea. We could invite some pop group and dance to live music.
A photo competition
I am not sure that this idea will encourage our schoolmates.
A fresh idea. I am sure that everyone has got an album with exciting pictures that will be interesting to look at.

Contemporary American Society In the past fifty years American society changed much. Fifty years ago most Americans lived in small communities. They seldom moved from one place to another. And usually, knew their neighbors well. Life was so personal that people often joked about it. It was difficult to have privacy in a small community like that. Some people dreamed about moving to big cities, but most people were happy to live all their lives in the same place.
Now people often move from place to place. It is rare to find people who have lived all their lives in one community. Americans are used to leaving friends and making new friends.
The American family changed too. Until the 1960s divorce was uncommon. Between 1962 and 1981 the number of divorces increased. Americans are not likely to remain in a marriage that has problems. They are not forced by economic, social or religious pressure to stay married. Since 1960s the number of single-parent families increased.
Americans bring up their children to be independent. It is a part of American culture. Small children learn to do things on their own. They learn to take care of themselves, clean their rooms, help with the dishes and the laundry, spend time away from their parents in daycare, with a baby sitter or alone. Most teenagers try to find summer or after-school jobs, so that they can have their own money. Students usually work part-time and during summer vacations.
Young people get married later than they used to. Women usually get married at the age of 24, men - at the age of 26. Newly married couples often postpone having children, while they are establishing their careers.

The Role of Women in the United States
It is difficult to generalize about American women. A "typical " American woman may be single. She may also be divorced or married. She may be a home-maker, a doctor, or a factory worker. They have one thing in common - their attitude about themselves and their role in the American life.
American women were always very independent The first colonists who came to New England were often young couples. The women were alone in a new, undeveloped country with their husbands. They worked with their husbands and children to establislish themselves in this new land. They felt free because they were in a new land without the influence of other members of society. Women became the supporters of the family. The children of these early Americans grew up with many examples of working women around them.
In the 20th century industrialized America the role of women was not so strong and dramatic as in the early days of the century. Some women were active outside the home; others were not. When American men went to war in the 1940s, women stepped into the man"s jobs as factory and business workers. Some women stayed in these positions after the war.
When men returned from the war and the post war "baby boom" began. Americans began to move to the suburbs. A new model of a traditional family developed and women were separated from men. Men usually went to the city to work and there was a strong division between work and home. Houses in the suburbs were far from each other, there were no stores or business. Women had to drive to buy food and to visit family and friends. The family was isolated from the outside world. At the same time life became easier for American homemakers because dishwashers, vacuum cleaners and frozen foods helped much to save time. With more time on their hands American women began to want to become more involved. American women are working now to reestablish their strong role in American life.

Билет 4 (1) THE SAILOR WHO WALKED ACROSS RUSSIA John Dundas Cochrane was born in 1786. He became a captain in the British navy when quite a young" man and fought in sea battles against the French during the Napoleonic wars. After Waterloo the navy did not need so many officers, and Cochrane found himself without a ship to command.
He wanted to lead an expedition to discover the source of the African river Niger, but his idea was rejected by the government. So, in February 1820, the captain decided to make a journey of his own -" on foot.
He walked from Paris to Berlin, through Poland to Lithuania, and on to Novgorod and Moscow. It was now late autumn.
From Moscow, Cochrane walked along the winter roads to Kazan, and then across the Urals to Tobolsk. Here, because of much snow and the vastness of the territory, the local governor gave him horses and a guide.
At last Cochrane reached Irkutsk and, after a short rest, went north.
After exploring the Kolyma area, on the East Siberia Sea, and making notes about what he had seen, the captain began the journey to Okhotsk.
In June 1821, Cochrane reached Okhotsk and from Okhotsk he went to Kamchatka by sea. He spent eleven months in Kamchatka, travelling and making notes... and falling in love with a Russian girl.
After their marriage Cochrane and his wife went back to England. They arrived in London in 1823.
In London, the captain wrote a book about his journey through Russia,
During his journey Cochrane met a lot of people who helped him and asked nothing in return. They were uneducated but they were kind and friendly. That is why he wrote in the end of his book: " I have received food from people who had almost nothing to eat... Those people who are called "uncivilized" are the most hospitable and friendly".

Билет 12 (1) Wimbledon-as Unusual Club
People all over the world know Wimbledon as the centre of lawn tennis. But most people do not know that it was famous for another game before tennis was invented. Wimbledon is now a part of Greater London. In 1874 it was a country village, but it had a railway station and it was the home of the All-England Croquet Club. The Club had been there since 1864. A lot of people played croquet in England at that time and enjoyed it, but the national championships did not attract many spectators. So the Club had very little money, and the members were looking for ways of getting some. This new game of lawn tennis seems to have plenty of action, and people like watching it", they thought. "Shall we allow people to play lawn tennis on some of our beautiful croquet lawns? In 1875 they changed the name of the Club to the "All-England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club", and that is the name that you will still find in the telephone book. Two years later, in 1877, Wimbledon held the first world lawn tennis championship (men"s singles). The winner was S.W. Gore, a Londoner. There were 22 players and 200 spectators, each paid one shilling. Those who watched were dressed in the very latest fashion-the men in hard top hats and long coats, and the ladies in dresses that reached to the ground! Wimbledon grew. There was some surprise and doubt, of course, when the Club allowed women to play in the first women"s singles championship in 1884, But the ladies played well-even in long skirts that hid their legs and feet.
The Wimbledon championships begin on the Monday nearest to June 22, at a time when England often has its finest weather. It is not only because the people like to go there. When the weather is good, it is a very pleasant place to spend an afternoon. The grass is fresh and green, the players wear beautiful white clothes, the spectators are dressed in the latest fashion, there may be members of the royal family among them, and there are cool drinks in the open-air cafes next to the tennis courts.
Millions of people watch the championships on television.

Christmas If you try to catch a train on 24th of December you may have difficulty in finding a seat. This is the day when many people are travelling home to be with their families on Christmas Day, 25th December. For most British families, this is the most important festival of the year, it combines the Christian celebration of the birth of Christ with the traditional festivities of winter.
On the Sunday before Christmas many churches hold a carol service where special hymns are sung. Sometimes carol-singers can be heard on the streets as they collect money for charity. People are reminded of Charles Dickens story (Christmas Carol). Most families decorate their houses with brightly-coloured paper or holly, and they usually have a Christmas tree in the corner of the front room, glittering with coloured lights and decorations. There are a lot of traditions connected with Christmas but perhaps the most important one is the giving of presents. Family members wrap up their gifts and leave them at the bottom of the Christmas tree to be found on Christmas morning. Children leave a long sock or stocking at the end of their beds on Christmas Eve, 24th December, hoping that Father Christmas will come down the chimney during the night and bring them small presents, fruit and nuts. They are usually not disappointed! At some time on Christmas Day the family will sit down to a big turkey dinner followed by Christmas pudding. They will probably pull a cracker with another member of the family. It will make a loud crack and a coloured hat, small toy and joke will fallout! ,
Later in the afternoon they may watch the Queen on television as she delivers her traditional Christmas message to the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth. If they have room for even more food they may enjoy a piece of Christmas cake or eat a hot mince pie. 26th December is also a public holiday. Boxing Day, and this is the time to visit friends and relatives or watch football.

DOCTOR WHO IDENTIFIED SARS BECOMES ITS VICTIM The new virus that broke out in East Asia claims the life of the Italian doctor who named it.
SARS is like flu. It is also a virus but it is much more dangerous than flu. It has now killed hundreds of people in different parts of the world. It has also infected thousands of other people. Recently the doctor who first identified SARS, Dr Carlo Urbani, died from SARS. Dr Urbani worked for the World Health Organisation in Vietnam. An American businessman was taken to hospital in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, with a strange illness. Dr Urbani was the first person in the world to notice that this was a new disease. He called it SARS, which means "severe acute respiratory syndrome".
The SARS virus can move very quickly. People who suffer from SARS have a high temperature, a cough and difficulty in breathing. Dr Urbanfs colleague Pascale Brudon said: "Carlo was the first person to see that this was something strange. When people became very worried in the hospital, he was there every day, collecting samples, talking to the staff and trying to control the infection."
In a statement, the World Health Organisation praised Dr Urbani, an expert in infectious diseases. "Because of Dr Urbanfs work with SARS, we were able to identify and isolate many new cases before they infected hospital workers," they said in the statement.
The virus is still spreading very quickly across East Asia. Most of the cases are in China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Vietnam.
Hong Kong has closed schools for a million students for 10 days, but some doctors say they should be closed for a month. Normal daily life has changed completely for the people of Hong Kong. They do not go to restaurants or theatres and they do not take taxis. They wear special face masks and even chemical protection suits when they go out.
The Chinese government now publishes a daily report on the spread of the disease, but some experts in Hong Kong say the Chinese government did not provide enough information about SARS and how quickly the disease can spread.
When the virus reached Hong Kong, it infected a lot of hospital workers. A doctor from Guandong province in China first brought SARS to Hong Kong in February.

Билет 6 (1) The history of New York
In 1605 the first Europeans came to Manhattan island from Holland. In 1626, Peter Minuit, governor of the Dutch settlements in North America known as New Amsterdam bought the island from the Native Americans for a few glass necklaces, valued about twenty-four dollars today. In 1609 Henry Hudson entered the River of the Mountains. In 1613 the Dutch built only four small houses on Manhattan as a fur trading station. It was not until 1623, ten 41 years more, that they started a real settlement, town of New Amsterdam in honour of the capital of their country in Europe. In 1644, when the English acquired the island, the village New Amsterdam was renamed New York. Today Manhattan is the heart of America"s business and culture. It is the most important banking centre in the world. Fewer than two million of the city"s eight million people live on the island.In 1789 on the steps of Federal Hall George Washington took the oath of office when he became the first president of the United States of America. During the years 1785 to 1790 New York was the capital of the United States. Due to its natural advantages as a harbour, and the rising tide of immigration from all parts of the world the role of New York as the leading city accelerated. Villages grew throughout the entire area. For the visitor New York means skyscrapers, tremendous traffic, dazzling neon advertisements. Manhattan is full of parallel rows of buildings, those running from north to south are called avenues while those running from east to west are called streets. The avenues and streets have only numbers instead of names. Wall Street from its very beginning became the market place of money. It was here that a walled stockade was erected to repulse the Indians, hence its name. As the city expanded the stockade was dismantled as of no further use, but the market place for the purchase of bonds and securities remained. Like every big city. New York has its own traffic system. Traffic jam can be terrible, and it is usually quicker to go by subway. It goes to almost every corner of Manhattan. New York is an international city, the place to try something new. It may be an experience you will never forget.

PROBLEMS OF THE YOUTH
adults always complain that the young are selfish & useless;
the young want to be free & enjoy life;
adults always teach the young how to live;
the young know what they want & don"t need their parents and teachers" advice;
teens prefer to make their own mistakes & to live their own life;
adults think that they know best because they are older;
teens are treated badly at school & at home;
teens are not taken seriously;
adults want teens to change their lifestyles;
adults forbid young people to have friends, free time, hobbies, etc.
many young people have drinking problems, they take drugs & smoke;
many of them are arrested for criminal actions;
they become violent & aggressive;
some of them are upset & depressed;
they rebel against the society;
they live their homes & live in the streets;
some teens even commit suicide (sju:isaid).
Youth is the time when a person tries to find his place in the world. And during this process young people face different problems. Today it"s very fashionable to speak about youth problems. We can choose three main problems: school, family & love problems.
Family & school problems are associated with generation problems (problems of the young & adults). There are many reasons of it:
Teens & the youth also have problems with their friends & beloved. They idealise first love & believe in it. But very often their love ends dramatically & it causes personal problems.
Beside these problems the young face many other problems- with education, appearance, money, employment, free time, communication, housing, changes in our society.
All these problems & conflicts have negative & sometimes dramatic results:
To solve these problems people must unite. Parents & teachers must help teens in difficult situations. Teen must feel that they are cared for. Government must help them to find a job, to get good education. The young & adults should be patient to each other. The young must have the life of their own , meet friends, discuss their problems, enjoy their hobbies. They must think that being young is great.

Билет 10 (1) To Educate And To Amuse American films which we can see in our cinemas or on TV, are only those films which are popular. That"s why, when we form an opinion on American films based only on these, we think that they all consist only of blood, pornography, fights, explosions and corpses.
I also wasn"t favourably impressed by the celebrated, challenging Basic Instinct. During the whole film, the main character enters somewhere, smokes and shows his buttocks. I am interested in the English language, so I prefer to watch films in English. West Side Story hasn"t merely impressed me; it has shaken me. I really enjoyed the wonderful acting, dancing and songs, though this is surprising to me.
Having watched My Fair Lady, I am sure that my favourite kinds of films are musicals. Even when I"m watching an "ordinary" picture, I am waiting for a suitable song for the moment.
I don"t agree with the person who wrote: "It would be better to keep your mind clear, fresh and open to new impressions in real life. It"s not healthy when a person thrives on virtual artificial impressions (TV or computer)." There are millions of people in our country who don"t have any access to a theatre, a museum or a gallery. They often don"t have an opportunity to go to foreign countries and to have "impressions in real life". But everyone wants to relax, to rest from the routine of the everyday life and everyday problems. So, films are simply necessary for them.
Of course all people are different and everyone has a right to choose. Some people prefer old Soviet films. But there is nothing so unrealistic as old Soviet films. The characters are always laughing and singing. They are shown to live in prosperity. I"m sure that such films are at fault for our present inability to adopt to the real circumstances of life.In my opinion, all films have to fulfill two aims: to help in education and to amuse a person. The best film is the one which does both.

English in my life.
My name is Olga Arsalan. I am more than 80 years old. This is a picture of me when I was about your age. I would like to tell you about the great role that English has played in my long life.
When I was about your age, in the early 1920s, I happened to come across an English book of stories published in a strange way. The first line was written in English, the second line gave the pronunciation in Russian letters and the third line gave the translation into Russian .It was really fun to read and soon I began to understand simple phrases without looking at the translation and I even learned many of the phrases by heart. The results of this language game were very successful. At age 15, I started working as a cashier at the hotel "Europe" in a seaport, Novorossyisk. First I went by car (yes, by car!) to foreign ships docked at the port and invited their crew to visit the hotel"s restaurant and to taste its delicious dishes and wines. Late at night they paid their bills in currencies of different nations, such as Great Britain, Greece, Turkey and others. To tell you the truth, they never cheated me in any way.
At the same time, I was asked to teach elementary English to the crew of an ice-tanker, which was going to England. So, my first English class consisted of a group of lively seamen enjoying their short rest at the seashore. We held our classes at the seaman"s club. After some time, they learned about 20 useful sentences and were sure they knew English well.
After this interesting experience, I decided to become a teacher. I began studying in Leningrad. Then, in 1940, I graduated from the Moscow Institute of Foreign Languages. Since that time, I have been teaching, teaching and teaching English. I"ve taught English to school children, writers, composers, scientists and even the staff of the Ministry during WWII.
In the 1960s and 1970s, because of my knowledge of English, I was able to work as an interpreter with different delegations of peace activists from many different countries. I interpreted for many well-known people from Moscow and all over the country. Believe me that even now after 30 years of fruitful work, many of these people still send me letters and would like to meet again.
Why do you need to know English? English is becoming a global language. At least a half a billion people in the world use English at home or work. Problems of the 21st century, such as problems of war and peace, ecology, demography, and democracy, can not be solved if people do not speak the same language. Interpreters take time and now time is as precious as never before. So, dear boys and girls, don"t waste time. Go on studying English each and every day. And finally, I"d like to wish you all a long, fruitful, happy life in peace, brotherhood and friendship.

Choosing a career
Everyone needs at least one profession in his life. So when you begin spending sleepless nights thinking about a job and money, when you think longingly of the plans for the future it"s no doubt about it you"re ready to choose most suitable career for you.
So in the world there are very and very many different professions: you can work with people as a doctor, a lawyer, a receptionist, a teacher, etc.; on the enterprise, bank, school, state institution. And what kind of a profession you choose is mainly depends on yourself. And I think it"s very difficult task for everybody.
And now there is such situation in the life that it is very difficult to find some worthy job especially suitable for you. So if you want some-how to get a job, you can make plans for the future when you study still at school. It"s a good idea to take different factors into account: job satisfaction - your future job must satisfy you; money - it"s important that your future profession must be well-paid or you must have a high salary to support the family, etc; good conditions; training; travelling and so on; the place of work -in the office, from home, in the open area, abroad, etc.
In the past, when I was at age of 10, I dreamt of becoming a lawyer because I wanted to be like Mason from the Santa-Barbara. He was very energetic, talkative, inventive, enterprising, creative, adventurous and enthusiastic. I wanted to work with people and help them. But now I can say that I made up my mind what to do in the future. I think I have an aptitude for working with figures and solving financial problems and I am interested in knowing how money is made. So I think I can work as an economist in the financial field. I think that it is more in demand now especially in banks where a really good specialist can have a lot of money. The success of this profession depends mainly on my education. So I want to enter the Vyatka State Technical University on the social-economics faculty in spite of the very high competition. I think I"ll be able to enter there because I have a good knowledge of English and mathematics to pass the exams. So when I finish the University I"m going to work in the father"s office as a financial consultant and specialist in this field. I think I will not disappoint my father about this job because I"m energetic, communicative, enterprising and quick by nature.

You are discussing how to make a pleasant surprise for your Mum on March, 8th. This is what you think about each option.
COOKING A HOLIDAY DINNER:
We are not good cooks, we may spoil it.
We may need a lot of money and time to prepare,
That may be a rather boring event in the end -just sitting at the table and having a meal.
We could cook something special, like Mum"s favourite dish and a holiday cake.
TYDYING UP A FLAT:
But that"s part of our household chores, so it"s not going to surprise our Mum.
You know I hate tidying up. Our "surprise" will last only for an hour and then the flat will turn into a mess again.
When tidying up we may hide a small gift and leave some notes where to find it.
While tidying up we may rearrange some furniture to create some special holiday spirit.
MAKING A SELF- MADE PRESENT:
That may need some money and a lot of time, and it"s March, 7th today
It"s difficult to make something really worthy
I hate all those do-it-yourself activities. I"m not good at them.
Do you remember Mum"s old hat? You know she likes wearing it at our dacha very much. We could make it look like a new one.
We might repaint a wall in Mum"s bedroom and decorate it in a special way to remind her of this nice holiday every day.
Билет 8 (1) Youth problems The problems American teenagers face daily reflect problems in American society: drugs, guns, violence, poverty & depression. However, there are a few problems, which are prevalent mainly among American youth. For example, teenage pregnancy, underage drinking (drinking alcohol under the age 21), gang membership, & the lack of the "voice" in today"s society are among the many issues teenagers must deal with. Not all Americans have good clothing, adequate food & vitamins & housing. So, some American children are raised in poverty. Many of these children find other means of supporting themselves or their families. Many times poor or underprivileged children are forced to sell drugs or join gangs. Gangs, violence & drugs are issues which go hand in hand. In other words, where one finds a gang, one is most likely to also find drugs, guns & violence. As a result many young girls & boys are brutally murdered in drive-by shootings, ambushes & gang wars. While these problems of poor teenagers are immeasurable & harsh, middle class & wealthy American teenagers also face many problems. Drugs, underage drinking & smoking are prevalent among teenagers. Drugs are destroying minds, family & friend relationships, & are killing America"s youth. These drugs are a problem, which must be destroyed.
Violence in schools has been an increasing problem in America in the past few years. Occasions when American students have shot & killed their classmates no longer sounds unfamiliar. Guns have no place in the hands of American children. Children should not have to fear going to school, & should not have to fear their classmates.
Yet another problem of American youth is vehicular homicide. Because teenagers drive at the age of 14, & because many are careless or perhaps drunk drivers, the number of deaths behind the wheel continue to grow. Teenage drivers no longer have to worry about having a parent drive them around or parking them after school, but need to worry about driving safely.
Teenage pregnancy is also a problem relevant to the topic of teenage problems. Children having children- teenage mothers & fathers- can"t provide for their babies, because they still need to be cared for. Teenage parents don"t have adequate education & monetary means to support babies in today"s world. And while teenagers continue to have sex at earlier ages, it"s also necessary to address the problem of STDs (sexually transmitted diseases). STDs such as AIDS are incurable & are devastating to teenagers who are just beginning to enjoy life. In order to address these problems of youth teenagers need to discuss their problems. In today"s society it"s difficult for a teenager to be taken seriously. However, in the next few years, adults must take the time to hear the problems of these young Americans so that solutions can be found to eliminate the problems.

Уже в этом году предстоит сдать выпускной экзамен по английскому? Чтобы ты зря не волновался и на самом испытании чувствовал себя уверенно, расскажет о структуре экзамена, где найти билеты по английскому языку, и даст полезные советы, как вести себя в присутствии комиссии.
Коротко об экзамене
Испытание проходит в устной форме. Его цель — проверить навыки общения на английском, которые ты приобрёл за время обучения в школе. Подготовиться к экзамену лучше заранее: билеты по английскому языку можно купить в книжных магазинах или заказать на сайте OZ.by . Аудиоприложение к билетам можно скачать на сайте издательства «Аверсэв» . В аудиторию, где проходит экзамен, приглашают по четыре человека. Если ученик затрудняется ответить по билету, он может перетянуть его. Снижается ли в таком случае отметка? Этот вопрос решает комиссия.
Помни: экзамен по английскому начинается с того момента, когда ты вошёл в кабинет. Переступил порог — забудь русский язык, представь себя коренным англичанином. Поздоровайся с присутствующими: «Good morning!». Никаких «Hello!» и «Hi!». Ещё один важный момент: экзаменационный билет по-английски звучит как «examination card», а не «ticket». И не забудь назвать номер своего билета: «My examination card is number five» or «The number of my examination card is number five».
Экзамен по английскому языку состоит из трёх этапов
Тебе предстоит пройти аудирование, беседу по прочитанному тексту и на предложенную тему. Последовательность этапов определяет комиссия. Каждый блок заданий оценивается отдельно, итоговая отметка выводится как средняя арифметическая.
Беседа по прочитанному тексту
По номеру билета, который ты вытянешь, комиссия предлагает текст (научно-популярный, публицистический или художественный). Даётся примерно 20 минут на его прочтение и осмысление, так что будь внимателен. Перечитай текст несколько раз, обрати внимание на пояснения к нему (при наличии таковых), спроси себя, всё ли ты понял. Если увидел незнакомое слово, попробуй определить его значение по контексту.
Когда пойдёшь отвечать, листок с текстом будет у тебя перед глазами — подсматривай структуру предложений и отдельные слова, но не забывай отрывать глаза от написанного. Комиссия может спросить, о чём этот текст, какова его основная мысль, задать уточняющие вопросы.
Если не понял вопрос или отдельное слово, переспроси. Воспользуйся следующими выражениями: «Could you repeat the question / that, please?», «Could you say it once again, please?», «I didn’t understand / get it». Нужна буквально секунда, чтобы сориентироваться по ответу, — не впадай в ступор! Фразы «May I have a minute», «Let me think» помогут учителям понять, что ты собираешься с мыслями. Давай развёрнутые ответы, опираясь на содержание прочитанного. Но не сиди уткнувшись в текст, это произведёт плохое впечатление на комиссию.
Аудирование
Перед тем как приступить к прослушиванию записи, ты получаешь листок с вопросами, на которые потом будешь отвечать комиссии. Аудиозапись длится полторы минуты и представляет собой фрагмент радиопередачи, диалог, рассказ или интервью. На подготовку отводится 10 минут. Имена собственные и сложные для распознавания на слух слова даются в печатном виде.
Внимательно прослушай текст два раза: в первый пойми суть текста, во второй найди ответы на вопросы. Чтобы не тратить время на дословную запись, делай пометки, по которым сможешь дать развёрнутый ответ.
Беседа на предложенную тему
К разговорной части экзамена по английскому ты не готовишься заранее. На данном этапе проверяется умение излагать свою точку зрения, поддерживать беседу.
Не употребляй те слова, в значении или произношении которых ты не уверен. Замени их синонимами или перестрой фразу. Старайся разговаривать непринуждённо, улыбайся. Внимательно слушай вопросы учителей, переспрашивай, когда не понимаешь, отвечай развёрнутыми предложениями.
В конце экзамена поблагодари комиссию за внимание и попрощайся: «Thank you for your attention», «Thank you for taken time», «See you!», «Bye!», «Have a nice day!». Вежливость сыграет в твою пользу! Тренируйся на уроках английского языка, чтобы на экзамене чувствовать себя like a fish in water. А если нужна помощь профессионалов, чтобы прокачать уровень английского, .

There are several mountains chains on the territory of the country: the Urals, the Caucasus, the Altai and others.

It"s one of the oldest Russian cities.At present, the political and economic situationn in the country is rather complicated. There are a lot of problems in the national economy of the Russian Federation. The industrial production is decreasing. The prices are constantly rising, the rate of inflation is very high. People are losing their jobs because many factories and plants are going bankrupt.But in spite of the problems Russia is facing at present, there are a lot of opportunities for this country to become one of the leading countries in the world. I"m sure that we, the younger generation, can do very much to make Russia as strong and powerful as it used to be.
Российская Федерация
Российская Федерация - самая большая страна в мире. Это занимает о первом седьмом из поверхности земли. Это закрывает(охватывает) восточную часть Европы и северной части Азии. Его полная область - приблизительно 17 миллионов квадратных километров. Страна вымыта 12 морями 3 oceans:the Tихий океан, арктический и Атлантика.

Это также имеет морскую границу со США.
Есть едва страна в мире, где такое разнообразие пейзажа и растительности может быть найдено. Мы имеем степи на юге, равнинах и лесах во внутриобластном, тундре и taiga в nirth, горной местности и пустынях на востоке. Есть два Великих равнин в Russia:the Большой Российской Равнине и Западной Сибирской Низменности. Есть несколько цепей гор на территории страны: Урал, Кавказ, Алтай и другие. Самая большая цепь горы, Урал, отделяет Европу из Азии. Есть более чем два миллиона рек в России. Самая большая река Европы, Волга, течет в Каспийское море. Главные Сибирские реки - Обь, Енисей и Лина Лена-текут с юга на север. Амур на Дальнем Востоке течет в Тихий океан.
Россия - досягаемость в красивых озерах. Всемирное самое глубокое озеро - Озеро Байкал. Это намного меньшее чем Балтийское море, но есть гораздо большее количество воды в этом чем в Балтийском море. Вода в озере настолько ясна, что, если Вы смотрите вниз Вас, может считать камни на основание. Россия имеет первый шестой из всемирных лесов. Они сконцентрированы в Eвропейце к северу от страны, в Syberia и на Дальнем Востоке. На обширной территории страны есть различные типы климата, из Арктики на севере к субтропическому на юге. В середине страны климат умеренный и континентален.
Россия - очень досягаемость в нефти(масле), железной руде, природном газе, меди, никеле и других минеральных ресурсах. Россия - парламентская республика. Глава государства - Президент. Законодательные полномочия осуществлены Думой. Капитал(столица) России Московский. Это - его самый большой политический, научный, культурный и индустриальный центр. Это - один из самых старых Российских городов. В настоящее время, политический и экономический situationn в стране довольно усложнен. Есть много проблем в народном хозяйстве Российской Федерации. Индустриальное производство уменьшается. Цены постоянно повышаются, норма(разряд) инфляции очень высока. Люди теряют их рабочие места, потому что много фабрик и заводы(растения) обанкротятся. Но несмотря на проблемы Россия сталкивается в настоящее время, есть много возможностей для этой страны, чтобы стать одной из ведущих стран в мире. Я уверен, что мы, более молодое поколение, можем делать очень, чтобы делать Россию столь же сильной и мощной, как это имело обыкновение быть.

My name is Natalia. My surname is Govorova. I am 15. I was born in 1982 in Chelyabinsk. I live in a small town of Usinsk in the Komi Republic. My address is Flat 116, 19, Pionerskaya Street. My phone number is 41-5-81. I am a pupil. I go to school Numbers 1. I am a good pupil. I do well in all subjects. They say, that I am a hardworking person. To tell the truth, all school subjects come easy for me but sometimes. I have to sit much, for example, to do lessons in Physics or Chemistry, to write a composition or to learn a poem by heart. But my favourite subject is English. I spend much time on it reading books, doing tests etc. May be, English and learning it will be a part of my future carreer. I like reading. I think comics and detective stories are much easier to read but I prefer to read novels - historical or up-to-date. I like music. My musical tastes are different, but it depends on my mood. But I think every apple is good in its season. I play the piano and the guitar, not seriously, but for my soul. Sometimes I like to listen to the Russian classical music. My favourite composers are Chaikovsky and Mozart. I don’t like rock music, but I like «Queen» and «Beatles». Also I like Russian folk songs. I have not much time to watch IV but sometimes I spend an hour or two watching an interesting film or a news programme. In the evening I often read newspapers (our local ones) or magazines. I like fresh air and exercise. I’m sorry I have not much time for doing sports. But some aerobics in the morning, a swimming-pool twice a week, a ski-walk on a frosty day are of great help. Sports is fun. I have a wide circle of interests. I’m very sociable, so I get a way with people. I have many friends, most of them are my class-mates. We spend much time together, going out to the cinema or to the disco party, speaking about lessons and music, discussing our problems. But most of all I like my family. We all are great friends and deeply attached to each other.
You see, it’s me - a person with his good and not good characteristics, liking this and hating that. But it’s interesting for me to live, to open new things.

The great German poet Goethe once said: «He who know no foreign language does not know his own one. Learning foreign languages is specially important nowadays. Some people learn foreign languages because they need them in their work, others travel abroad, for the third studying languages is a hobby.
Every year thousands of people from Russia go to different countries as tourists or to work. They can not go without knowing the language of the country they are going to. A modern engineer or even a worker can not work with an imported instrument or a machine if he is not able to read the instruction how to do it. Ordinary people need language to translation the instruction or the manual to the washing-machine or a vacuum-cleaner, medicine or even food-products.
Some people are as a rule polyglots. Historians diplomats need some languages for their work. If you want to be a classified specialist you must learn English, the language of international communication. English is one of the world languages. It is the language of progressive science and technology, trade and cultural relations, commerce and business. It is the universal language of international aviation, shipping and sports.

ИЗУЧЕНИЕ ИНОСТРАННОГО ЯЗЫКА.
Большой Немецкий поэт Гоет однажды сказал: " Он, кто не знают никакой иностранный язык, не знает его собственный. Изучение иностранных языков особенно(специально) важно в настоящее время. Некоторые люди изучают иностранные языки, потому что они нуждаются в них в их работе, другие путешествуют за границей, для трети, изучающей языки - хобби.
Каждый год тысячи людей из России идут в различные страны как туристы или работать. Они не могут идти без того, чтобы знать язык страны, в которую они идут. Современный инженер или даже рабочий не может работать с импортированным инструментом или машиной(механизмом), если он - не способен читать инструкцию, как делать это. Обычные люди нуждаются в языке к переводу инструкция или руководство к стиральной машине или пылесосу, медицине(лекарству) или даже изделия продовольствия. Некоторые люди - как правило полиглоты. Дипломаты Историков нуждаются в некоторых языках для их работы. Если Вы хотите быть классифицируемым специалистом, Вы должны изучить Английский язык, язык международной связи.
Английский язык - один из мировых языков. Это - язык прогрессивной науки и техники, торговых и культурных отношений, торговли и бизнеса. Это - универсальный язык международной авиации, отгружаясь и спортивных состязаний. Это - также главный язык дипломатии.

Изучение Английского языка - не легкая вещь. Это - длинный процесс и берет много времени и терпение. Но знать Английский язык сегодня абсолютно необходим для каждого образованного человека. Я хочу знать Английский язык, потому что это интересно для меня, чтобы знать иностранные страны, их культуры и традицию.

People are fond of traveling. They spend their holidays traveling. They travel to see other countries and continents, to learn a lot about people’s traditions, to enjoy picturesque places. It is interesting for them to discover new things, different ways of life, to meet different people, to try different food.
Those who live in the country like to find themselves in large cities with their shops, cinemas, crowds of people. City-dwellers usually like a quiet holiday by the sea or in the mountains with nothing to do but walking and bathing, lazying in the sun. Most travelers and holiday makers take a camera with them and take pictures of everything that interests them - beautiful views of waterfalls, forests, unusual plants and animals. These photos will remind them of the happy time of holiday.
These are many ways of traveling - by train, by plain, by ship, on foot. Everyone chooses his favourite one. My favourite way is traveling by plain. And not because it is very comfortable. It is exciting. I also like traveling by train. I’ve traveled this way a lot. When you are in the train you can see the beauty of nature.
I envy the tourists because I think that they study geography traveling and visiting different parts of the world. They can tell you many things which you didn’t know before.
They are interesting people from whom you can learn much new for yourself. Any kind of travel helps you to understand many things that you can never see or learn at home. Though you may read about them in books and newspapers.
As for me I’d like to have a coach tour to some foreign country. Coach tours are planned and I’ll have a chance to do a lot of sightseeings and have a good rest at the same time.
ПУТЕШЕСТВИЕ.
Люди любят путешествовать. Они тратят(проводят) их путешествие отпуска. Они путешествуют, чтобы видеть другие страны и континенты, учиться много о народных традициях, наслаждаться живописными местами. Это интересно для них, чтобы обнаружить новые вещи, различные пути жизни, встречать различных людей, пробовать различное продовольствие.
Те, кто живут в стране, любят оказаться в больших городах с их магазинами, кино, толпы людей. Городские обитатели обычно подобно тихому празднику(отпуску) морем или в горах с ничем, чтобы делать но ходьбу и купание, lazying на солнце. Большинство путешественников и изготовителей праздника(отпуска) берет камеру с ними и берет картины всего, что интересует их - красивые представления(виды) водопадов, лесов, необычных заводов(растений) и животных. Эти фотографии напомнят им о счастливом времени праздника(отпуска).
Они - много путей путешествия - поездом, равниной, судном, пешком. Каждый выбирает его фаворита один. Мой любимый путь путешествует равниной. И не, потому что это очень удобно. Это захватывающее. Я также подобно путешествию поездом. Я путешествовал этот путь много. Когда Вы находитесь в поезде, Вы можете видеть красоту характера(природы).
Я завидую туристам, потому что я думаю, что они изучают путешествие географии и посещение различных частей мира. Они могут сообщить Вам много вещей, которые Вы не знали прежде.
Они - интересные люди от того, кого Вы можете изучать много нового для вас непосредственно. Любой вид путешествия помогает Вам понимать много вещей, которые Вы никогда не можете видеть или учиться дома. Хотя Вы можете читать о них в книгах и газетах.
Что касается меня я хотел бы иметь тур автобуса(тренера) к некоторой иностранной стране. Автобус(тренер) Тур запланирован и я должен иметь шанс, чтобы делать много осмотров достопримечательностей и иметь хороший отдых в то же самое время.
Environmental problems
The poisoning of the world"s land, air, and water is the fastest-spreading disease of civilisation. It probably produces fewer headlines than wars, earthquakes and floods, but it is potentially one of history"s greatest dangers to human life on earth. If present trends continue for the next several decades, our planet will become uninhabitable.
Overpopulation, pollution and energy consumption have created such planet-wide problems as massive deforestation, ozone depletion, acid rains and the global warming that is believed to be coused by the greenhouse effect.The seas are in danger. They are filled with poison: industrial and nuclear waste, chemical fertilisers and pesticides. The Mediterranean is already nearly dead; the North Sea is following. The Aral Sea is on the brink of extinction. If nothing is done about it, one day nothing will be able to live in the seas.
Every ten minutes one kind of enimal, plant or insect dies out for ever. If nothing is done about it, one million species that are alive today will have become extinct twenty years from now.
Air population is a very serious problem. In Cairo just breathing the air is life threatening- equivalent to smoking two packs of cigarettes a day. The same holds true for Mexico City and 600 cities of the former Soviet Union.Industrial enterprises emit tons of harmful substunces. These emissions have disastrous consequences for our planet. They are the main reason for the greenhouse effect and acid rains.An even greater environmental threat are nuclear power stations. We all know how tragic the consequences of the Chernobyl disaster are.
People are beginning to realise that environmenta problems are not somebody else"s. They join and support various international organosation and green parties. If governments wake up to what is happening- perhaps we"ll be able to avoid the disaster that threatens the natural world and all of us with it.
Проблемы Окружающей среды
Отравление всемирной земли, воздуха, и воды - наиболее-быстро-распространяющаяся болезнь цивилизации. Это вероятно производит меньшее количество заголовков чем войны, землетрясения и наводнения, но это - потенциально одна из самых больших опасностей истории для человеческой жизни на земле. Если существующие тенденции продолжаются в течение следующих нескольких десятилетий, наша планета станет непригодной для жилья.
Перенаселенность, загрязнение и потребление энергии создали такие широкие планетой проблемы как массивное сведение леса, истощение озона, кислотные дожди и глобальное нагревание, которое верит, чтобы быть coused парниковым эффектом.Моря находятся в опасности. Они заполнены ядом: индустриальная и ядерная трата(отходы), химический fertilisers и пестициды. Средиземноморье уже почти мертво; Северное море следует. Аральское море находится на крае исчезновения. Если ничто не сделано об этом, однажды ничто не будет мочь жить в морях.Каждые десять минут один вид enimal, завода(растения) или насекомого заглохнут навсегда. Если ничто не сделано об этом, один миллион разновидностей, которая является действующей(живой), сегодня станет в потухших двадцати годах с этого времени.
Воздушное население - очень серьезная проблема. В Каире, только вдыхающем воздух - угроза жизни - эквивалент курению двух пакетов сигарет в день. Тот же самый проводит(держит) истинным для Мехико и 600 городов прежнего Советского Союза.Индустриальные предприятия испускают тонны вредного substunces. Эта эмиссия имеет бедственные последствия для нашей планеты. Они - главная причина для парникового эффекта и кислотных дождей.Даже большая угроза окружающей среды - атомные электростанции. Все мы знаем насколько трагический последствия Chernobyl бедствия.Люди начинают понимать, что environmenta проблемы - не чей-либо. Они присоединяются и поддерживают различный международный organosation и зеленые стороны(партии). Если правительства осознают то, что случается - возможно мы будем мочь избегать бедствия, которое угрожает естественному миру и всем из нас с этим.
RUSSIN TRADITIOS.
Almost every nation and country has a reputation of some kind. The Englishmen are reputed to be cold, reserved, rather naughty easy-going and fond of sport. They are the nation of stay-at-homes. «There is no place like home», they say. The English man’s home is his castle is a saying known all over the world. They prefer a small house built for one family, with a small garden are a fire in the centre of the house. They like animals very much and follow the traditions concerning food and meals. We know much about English traditions and customs but now I’d like to say a few words about the traditions of my native land-Russia. First, about Russian people. To my mind, the main traits of their characters which differ them from other people are hospitality, their «open heart», «golden hands», wise Russian fairytales reflect this wisdom. Our people are hardworking, patient, never loosing hope for better life. The Russians are the talented nation. Russia gave the world beautiful names of Pushkin and Lermontov, Chaikovsky and Repin, thousands of names of world famous poets, writers, composers, scientists. All of them are the pride of the nation because they sand the beauty of our nature and people.
Besides these great names in literature and music, our country is famous for Russian traditional specific crafts its skilled craftsmen. Painted boxes of Palekh, coloured shawls of Pavlov Posad, clay toys of Dymkovo, laces of Vologda are known all over the world.
The names of Gzhel and Khokhloma are considered to be the symbols of Russia as well as matryoshkas and samovars. The history of khokhloma goes back into the 17 th century Producing of tableware-dishes, spoons, mugs was begun at that time in the villages of Suomino and Khokhloma in the Nizhniy Novgorod Province. On the banks of the great Russian river Volga. Many carpenters, painters have been working since then reviving traditions of old masters. The Khokhloma style is characterized by using plant elements in painting the tableware. The prevailing colours are black, yellow, golden, green and red. And nowadays this craft is sure to be saved, it will be developed and brought into the future by the new generation of painters.
The reviving of old crafts is connected with the reviving of the traditional arts of all peoples inhabiting our big country. There are 100 of them. They revive their culture, costumes, dances and language. It is the revival of our souls. Now we celebrate the forgotten holidays - Troisa, Maslenitsa, Easter. We again sing Russian folk songs and chastushki, dance Barinya and perform khorovods, ride in troikas. Traditional Russian cooking is world-famous for such dishes as okroshka, shi, pelment, kurnik, kvass. We begin to build and reconstruct churches. The example of it is the building of the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow. It is the symbol of reviving human feelings, national pride and patriotism.

Они любят животных очень и следуют за традициями относительно продовольствия и пищи. Мы знаем много об Английских традициях и таможне(обычаях), но теперь я хотел бы говорить несколько слов о традициях моего аборигена Россия земли. Сначала, о Российских людях. На мой взгляд, главные черты их характеров, которые отличаются их от других людей - гостеприимство, их " открытое сердце "," золотые руки ", мудрый Российский fairytales отражает эту мудрость. Наши люди не трудолюбивы, терпеливы, никогда выпуская надежду для лучшей жизни. Русские - талантливая нация.

Khokhloma стиль характеризован, используя элементы завода(растения) в живописи сервировки стола. Преобладающие цвета черны, желты, золотые, зелены и красны. И в настоящее время это ремесло уверено, чтобы быть сэкономленным(спасаемым), это будет развито и принесен в будущее новым поколением живописцев.
Восстановление старых ремесел связано с восстановлением традиционных искусств всех народов, населяющих нашу большую страну. Есть 100 из них. Они восстанавливают их культуру, костюмы, танцы и язык. Это - возрождение наших душ. Теперь мы празднуем забытый отпуск - Troisa, Maslenitsa, Пасху. Мы снова поем Российские народные песни и chastushki, танцуем Barinya и исполняем khorovods, поездка в тройках. Традиционная кухня Русского мировая-известна такими блюдами как okroshka, shi, pelment, kurnik, kvass. Мы начинаем строить и восстанавливать церкви. Пример этого - здание Собора Христа Спаситель в Москве. Это - символ восстановления человеческих чувств, национальной гордости и патриотизма.

Pushkin
at the lyceum shaped Pushkin"s life. He graduated from the lyceum in 1817 and began to work in the
foreign office in St. Petersburg. In 1820 the foreign office transferred Pushkin to Ekaterinoslav, and
later to Odessa for writing anti-tsarist poetry. In 1824, for his letters against the tsar, he was exiled to Mikhailovskoye. In 1824, Tsar Nicholas I allowed Pushkin to return to Moscow. Pushkin felt in love with Natalya Goncharova,-who was lfrthen, and in 1830 they got married. His wife was suspected of an affair with Baron Georges d"Antes; this became the subject of gossip. Pushkin challenged d"Antes to a duel. Pushkin was wounded and died two days later. Pushkin was Russia"s greatest poet. In his works he was first
influenced by 18th century poets, and then by Lord Byron. Finally he developed bis own style, which was realistic but classical in form. His earliest long poem was romantic «Ruslan and Lyudmila» (1818-1820). А series of verse tales followed- «The Prisoner of theCaucasus», «The Robber Brothers», «The Fountain ofBakhchisarai», and «The Gypsies». They were inspired by Syren"s poetry. In 1823 Pushkin began writing his masterpiece «Eugene Onegin», anovel in verse. «Eugen Onegin» became the linguistic and literary standard. It is a commentary on the life of the early I 9th century Russia. It is noted for brilliant verse. He also wrote other long poems, including «Bronze Horseman» (1833), the finest collection of lyrics in Russian literature. Pushkin created also a number of masterpieces in drama and prose. «Little Tragedies» and «The Stone Guest» are among the best works in the world history of drama. Pushkin"s love to Russia"s past resulted in his historical drama, «Boris Godunov» (1825). «Tales of the Late l.P.Belkin», «Dubrovsky», «The Captain"s Daughter» are the most
important of his prose works. Pushkin"s use of Russian influenced the of great Russian writers Turgenev, Goncharov, Tolstoy. Pushkin"s early death shocked the country. Pushkin, called by many «the sun of Russian literature», belongs among the foremost poets and
writers of the world.
Abraham Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln is the most famous example of the **American dream». Many Americans think that in their country a man may rise from the lowest to the highest position in th*irland. That was exactlywhat Lincoln did. He was born in 1809 in a small farm in Kentucky. When Abraham was quite young, the family moved to the wild forest land of Indiana. He
hardly had any education; he only learned to read and write and do simple arithmetic. In 1830 Abraham left his father"s farm and went to Springfield, Illinois. There he became a clerk in a store and worked hard to improve his education. In 1836 he became a lawyer.
He entered politics, too, and in 1834 became a candidate to the Parliament of Illinois. He soon became a force in the political life. In 1847 he went as a Congressman to the National Assembly (National Parliament).Slavery was then becoming a burning questions American politics. Many people in the Northern states wanted to abolish it, the Southern states
opposed the abolition. The Southerners said that it would mean economic ruin for them. The reason was that the prosperity of the South was based on
cotton-growing, and only Negroes worked there. The Southerners threatened that if the North didn"t ceaseits fight against slavery, the Southern states
would leave the Union. They wanted to form an independent «confederacy»*. In 1860 Lincoln was elected President of the USA. In 1861 seven
states left the Union and elected their own President, Jefferson Davis. The Confederacy was formed.Lincoln was strongly against slavery and even more strongly against the break-up of the Union. In 1862 the American Civil War between the North and the South began. At first the war went badly for the North. The Southerners headed by General Robert Lee and Colonel Jackson won some brilliant victories. But Lincoln did not lose courage. On April, 9 General Leesurrendered. The Civil War was over. Lincoln tried to convince former enemies that they should live in peace.On April, 14 the President and his wife visited a theatre in Washington.

First of all i"d like to tell you about my school which i"ve just left. My school is one of the specialized schools in Moscow. It is famous for its high-quality education and strict discipline. To my mind, our school-lycium is very well equipped. It has a gym, a carteen, a library, a computer class and some labs(for example - chemistry lab or physics lab).
First two years in our lycium we had 7 or 8 lessons, but in 10th and 11th forms we had less lessons. What about our homework we usually had a lot to do and it took me several hours. I sometimes had to sit up to write a composition, to prepare a report, to traslate an article from English to Russian or to learn a poem by heart.
After classes we usually had some out-of-class activities.our social and cultural life was well-organized. For example, we had a choir and literature club.
At school we had classes in Russian, literature, mathematics, English, history and so on. My favourite subjects were English, History and Russian. On Russian we had a lot of fun situations and talks; history, to my mind, is a very interesting subject; and what about English, we need learning this language to be able to read books, listen to the news, speak with English speaking people and so on.
Now my plans for the future. I must say that when you leave school you understand that the time to choose your future profession has come. It"s not an easy task to make the right choice of a job. People choose profession according to their own interests and abilities. As far as i have a computer at home I"ve decided to enter some mathemetic institute. It is called МГАТУ(Moscow State Aviation- Technology University). I"ll be study there informatic and English. I think, today computer is very popular in our country and programmists are paid very much.
Моя школа
Сначала всех я хотел бы сообщить Вам о моей школе, которую я только что уехал. Моя школа - одна из специализированных школ в Москве. Это известно его высококачественным образованием и строгой дисциплиной. На мой взгляд, наша школа-lycium очень хорошо оборудована. Это имеет гимнастику, carteen, библиотеку, компьютерный класс и некоторые лаборатории (например - лаборатория химии или лаборатория физики).
Сначала два года в нашем lycium, мы имели 7 или 8 уроков, но в 10-ых и 11-ых формах, мы имели меньшее количество уроков. Что относительно нашей домашней работы мы обычно имели много, чтобы делать, и требуется меня несколько часов. Я иногда был должен сидеть до, пишут состав, готовить сообщение, к traslate статья(изделие) от Английского языка до Русского или изучать поэму сердцем.
После классифицирует, мы обычно имели некоторую activities.our социальную и культурную жизнь из-класса, был хорошо-организован. Например, мы имели хор и литературный клуб.
В школе мы имели классы(занятия) по-русски, литературу, математику, Английский язык, история и так далее. Мои любимые предметы были Английские, История и Русский. На Русском мы хорошо провели время ситуации и переговоры; история, к моему мнению, является очень интересным предметом; и что относительно Английского языка, мы нуждаемся в изучении этого языка, чтобы мочь читать книги, слушать новости, говорить с Английским языком, говорящим люди и так далее.
Теперь мои планы в течение будущего. Я должен говорить, что, когда Вы оставляете школу, Вы понимаете, что время, чтобы выбрать вашу будущую профессию прибыло. Это - не легкая задача делать правильный выбор работы. Люди выбирают профессию согласно их собственным интересам(процентам) и способностям. Насколько я имею компьютер, дома я решил входить в некоторый институт mathemetic. Это называется, МГАТУ (Москва Заявляет Авиацию - Университет Технологии). Я буду изучение там informatic и Английский язык. Я думаю, сегодня компьютер очень популярен в нашей стране, и programmists оплачен очень.

Books have been with us since childhood. Who hasn’t read «Alice in the wonderland», «Mowgli»? Who hasn’t travelled with Marry Poppins to her imaginary world? Who hasn’t imagined himself to be Robinson Crusoe on the deserted island?
I have read a lot of interesting books, but my favourite book is «The adventures of Tom Sawyer» by Mark Twain. This well-known book is popular with the children all over the world.
The main character of the book is Tom Sawyer, who lived in a small town on the Mississippi River. He was a boy with a wild imagination. He and his friends often dreamed of different adventures. Tom was naughty, kind and brave. Besides he was noble. I like this boy because he teaches us to be true friends.

My Friend
I have a lot of friends. Most of them are my former schoolmates. But my bosom friend is Lena. She is 16. Lena isn"t very tall, but she is pretty in her own way.
She has red curly hair and a turn-up nose. Lena wears spectacles and when spring comes there are plenty of freckles on her cheeks, forehead and nose. But all that doesn"t make her plain or ugly. I like Lena because she is well-bred, jolly and kind.
She does well at school though she has an unbreakable rule: never to study at night no matter how many written reviews are coming in the morning. She is also fond of reading plain books, and Lena sometimes thinks that one book isn"t enough to read, she has two оr three books going at once. My friend has a lot of books at home, and she buys them wherever she goes.
Lena goes in for sports and she is a member of our school basket-ball team. She is terribly quick and strong .
It"s a pleasure to watch her playing basket-ball: while others are hopping about in the air she always gets under their feet and grabs the ball. I don"t like people who are bored at everything and who never make the slightest effort to be pleasant. That"s why my friend is Lena, the most amusing person in the world. She thinks everything is funny - even flunking an exam.
Lena is a sunny soul by nature and always takes the slightest excuse to be amused. My friend has an imagination and her own style. Usually she writes nice compositions and once even won short-story contest that our school wallpaper holds every year.

My Hobby
Tastes differ. Different people like different things, different people have different hobbies.
I go in for sports, I like to play tennis. I go to play tennis every day. Sport is very important part of our life. Many people go in for sports, they jogging, walking, swimming, skating, skiing, train themselves in clubs and different sections.
Physical training is an important subject at school. Pupils play volleyball, football, basketball. I have been playing tennis for 5 years. Tennis became very popular now. I take part in different competitions.
To be in a good shape I"m jogging every morning and do my morning exercises. Everyone should do all he can to stay healthy and choose the sport he is interested in. I do not understand people who say that they like sport, but they only watch sport on TV.
If one goes in for sports he feels much better, looks much better, sleeps much better. Your physical appearance will change too. You will be slimmer and trimmer. And what is even more important you will not get sick often.
Why do I go in for sports? Because I think that it is very important for a man to be strong and well-built. Sport is not for weak, because, you have to learn how to lose, and it"s not easy. My favourite proverb says: "A sound mind in sound body".

My Week-day
My week-days didn"t differ much one from another. I went to school six days a week. That"s why, I had to wake up at 7 o"clock every morning. Sometimes I wanted to stay in bed for some more time but my mother always insisted on my getting up.
I put on my bathrobe and slippers and unwillingly went to the bathroom. A cold shower made me feel not so sleepy, then I dried myself on a towel and hurried to the bedroom. I switched on a TV-set, it was just the time for a cartoon.
You may ask me why I didn"t do my morning exercises. From time to time, when I saw smiling slim girls on TV briskly doing their exercises to music, I swore I should get up earlier and do my morning exercises every day, but it didn"t last long and soon 1 forgot about it. Then I did my bed, dressed myself and had my breakfast.
At a quarter to eight I rushed to school, it usually took me 10 minutes to get there. My classes began at 8 o"clock, and every day I had seven or eight lessons.
At 3 o"clock the classes were over, and I went home. After dinner, I did some work about the house (washed dishes, swept the floor, went shopping) and sat down to my lessons. I spent a great deal of time on them.
At 8 o"clock all my textbooks and notebooks were put into a bag, and I could watch TV or read a book, look through papers and magazines. Sometimes, when my friend called for me we went for a walk.
At 11 o"clock, tired after a long working day, I went to bed and in some minutes fell asleep.

When did I have to wake up when I went to school?
2. When did I go to the bathroom?
3. When did I hurry to my bedroom?
4. At what time did I rush to school?
5. How many lessons did I have every day?

Foreign Languages in Our Life
Learning a foreign language isn"t an easy thing. Nowadays it"s especially important to know foreign languages.
Some people learn languages because they need them for their work, others travel abroad, for the third studying foreign languages is a hobby. Everyone, who knows foreign languages can speak to people from other countries, read foreign authors in the original, which makes your outlook wider.
I study English. It"s a long and slow process that takes a lot of time and efforts. Over 300 million people speak it is as a mother tongue.
The native speakers of English live in Great Britain, the United States of America, Australia and New Zealand. English is one of the official languages of the United Nations Organization and other political organizations.
The great German poet Goethe once said, «He, who knows no foreign language, doesn"t know his own one ». That"s why in order to understand oneself and environment one has to learn foreign languages.
I think, that to know English today is absolutely necessary for every educated man, for every good specialist.

My Day off
I go to school five days a week, so I have two days off - Saturday and Sunday (I"m lucky, because some other pupils have the only one day off). During the week I am very busy, so I like to have a rest on weekend.
I am not an early riser and it is a rare Saturday or Sunday when I get up before 9 o"clock. I enjoy staying in bed, when 1 don"t have to hurry anywhere. We have late breakfast at 10 and watch TV.
Usually we have something tasty: meat salad, fried potatoes, chicken, cake or pie. If the weather is fine, I usually do not stay indoors, I and my dog go outside. Often we go to the park and play there. If the weather is rainy and gloomy, I stay at home and watch TV, listen to the music, read, the books.
After dinner we go visit our grandparents or relatives, or just simply take a nap. Sometimes when my friends call me we go roller - blading near the Opera theatre .
I like roller - blading very much, I think it is a lot of fun. In the evenings I like to watch video and music programs. There is a big armchair in my room right beside the lamp with blue shade. If it is cold I like to sit there with cup of coffee and read.
Sometimes I do something special on weekends: go to an art exhibition, to the theatre, to the concert. I always go to bed late on Sundays, and Monday morning is the nastiest thing through all the week.
I like weekends very much, because I can rest and gain some energy for the next week.
Questions:
How many day offs do you have?
2. When do you get up on Sunday?

My English
Many people think that it is enough to know one language, but scientists think it is too little. The world is constantly changing, borders between countries and states are opening, and each of us can visit any country we like. This is one of the arguments in favour of studying foreign languages. In addition, the study of languages develops your attention and memory, broadens your mind, and you feel more educated.
I don"t think I am a good language learner because I am lazy but I like English very much. Of course, it is really great to find out about English people, cities and events. At our lessons we read interesting books, translate from English intо Russian, learn new words. We speak about interesting people.
I understand that English teaches me to think, to speak, it helps me to find friends, but learning English is very difficult for me and takes me so much time and patience. Our English teacher is very good and kind. It is awful for me to learn English poems and songs by heart, of course, but I try. I think that English will help me in my future profession.
Questions:
What do many people think about foreign languages?
The world is constantly changing, borders between countries and states are opening, are they?
What does the study of languages develop?
What do we do at our lessons ?
Will English help me in my future profession?

Introducing Myself
There is a saying that if you want something to be done well, do it yourself. So, I am following this wise saying and would like to introduce myself.
My first name is Sergey, my family name is Kravenko and my second name is Yurievich.
But in the beginning, I would like to represent my family and parents. Actually my family isn"t large. My family consists of my father, mother, sister and cat Boris.
My father"s name is Yuri. He is 41 years, but he looks much younger. He is a businessman. My dad is a well-educated and well-read person; he has experiences in many fields. That is why it is always interesting to communicate with him, he usually tells many exciting stories, of course, if he has free time.
And my mother is 37. Her name is Natalia. She is a good-looking, blond woman. She has large green eyes. I admire her character. She is an optimist; she is full of energy and enthusiasm. I really adore her sense of humour. She is a housewife. It takes her much time and power to take care of our home. But I can assure, she copes with her job very well. Besides, both my farther and I help her with the housework. For example, I wash dishes, plates, sometimes go shopping and so on.
Now, I think, it is time to speak about myself. My name is Sergey, but my friends call me Seriy. I am 15.
I am tall and not bad built. I have an oval face and large green eyes. Speaking about my character, I can say that I"m friendly, kind, generous and honest. I do not like falsehood. I have my own likes and dislikes. I am modest and sometimes shy, but do not advice someone tricking or kidding me. But in spite of all these characters, I can keep secrets; I never let my friends down. I usually say, what I think, that is why people around me often take offence. For me it is very difficult to cope with people who have such features of character as egoism and dishonesty.
Questions:
What is my first name?
2. What is my surname name?

. Is my family large?
4
. What are my father"s and my mother"s names?

My Friend
My best friends name " s Misha . We made friends a few years ago. We are of the same age. We live in the same block of flats, so we see each other almost every day.
Misha is a tall slender boy. He has got dark hair, large dark eyes, a straight nose, and thin lips. He wears spectacles. Misha is a nice guy. He is very honest and just, understanding and kind.
I trust him a lot, and I"m sure that I can rely on him in any situation. He never lets people down. Misha is only 16 but he is very responsible - he finishes whatever he starts. He"s got only one shortcoming. He is a bit stubborn; nevertheless he is pleasant to deal with.
Misha"s an only child and his parents love him very much. His father is a lawyer. He is the most brilliant man I"ve ever met. He knows everything there is to know about the law. His mother is a music teacher. No wonder Michael is so talented. He"s got a very good ear for music. He likes jazz and plays the piano very well.
We spend a lot of time together. We often watch video or listen to music. Sometimes we go to theatre, or walk around the centre of the city, visiting small cafes, museums, art galleries, and shops.
We talk for hours about all sorts of things (politics, love, teachers, and girls). We discuss films, television programmes, books.
I never quarrel with Misha. But if there is some misunderstanding between us we try to make peace as soon as possible. What I like best about him is that he is always willing to help and share his knowledge, thoughts, and feelings. I respect him for his fairness, strong will, intellect, and modesty.
I miss Misha when we don"t see each other for a long time. Without him I would feel lonely and uncomfortable. Our friendship helps me feel strong and sure of myself.
Questions:
Where does Misha live?
How old is he?
Misha"s an only child, isn’t he?
Does Michael like jazz and play the piano or rock and play the guitar?
What do I like best about him?

About Myself
It is both pleasant and a bit difficult to speak about myself. It is pleasant because every person enjoys speaking about his or her interests, likes or dislikes. But at the same time it is difficult because to study a person, especially yourself, it is a great journey, not a little walk.
Speaking about my character I"d like first of all to define what character is. These are some qualities that make a person different from others. People often say about me that I am not like others. I don"t think that I am something special. When candles are out all cats are grey. But of course if you come closer and turn on the light you can see that some features are typical to me.
But to cut the long story short I think I am a good humoured, very responsible, hard working and emotional person. I like creativity and appreciate this trait in others. I don"t like to he and I feel when others do. I try not to be late and I hate when others don"t come on time. I prefer to associate with clever and polite people. It is very annoying when somebody whom I trust turns out to be unreliable.
But I try to treat other people so as I want them to treat me. I see the man whom I am looking for also as a person with a strong and sound body and mind. The person, who is interesting to talk to, whom I can trust and rely on.
As for my interests I am fond of psychology in the sphere of dealing with people and the questions of how to form your thoughts in the most favourable way. I adore travelling, seeing other people, their traditions, customs, to get acquainted with their culture, going sightseeing. Besides I like different kinds of music, I like music with rhythm you can dance to.
Questions:
Why is it both pleasant and a bit difficult to speak about oneself?
2. What can you tell about your character?
3. What are you fond of doing?
4. What do you hate that other people do?
5. How do you try to treat other people?

My Daily Routine
As a rule, I get up at half past six. I put on my dressing-gown, go into bathroom and turn on the bath taps. Good health is better than wealth, so I do my morning exercises. I get breakfast at seven-thirty and listen to the news over the radio.
I like to begin the day well, so my breakfast is always a good one. For breakfast I usually have hard-boiled eggs or an omelette , bread and butter, tea or coffee; I read my newspaper with my last cup of coffee before I leave home.
Then, I say "Good-bye" to my mother, take my school-bag and go to school. I don"t live far from my school, so it doesn"t take me long to get there. The lessons start at half past eight. Each lesson lasts for 45 minutes. The classes are over at two o"clock.
I come back home, have dinner, wash up and go shopping. I buy foodstuffs for the family. Coming back I begin to clean the house and get the vegetables ready for supper. We have supper at seven. I do my homework for the next day. It usually takes me several hours to prepare well for the lessons.
In the evening, I always try to spend at least an hour at the piano. As a rule my parents and I sit and talk, watch a film on TV, read newspapers and magazines. Sometimes, we go to the cinema or to the theatre. Once or twice a month, I visit exhibitions in my home town.
I go to bed at about eleven o"clock, but my parents like to sit up late and write letters or read.
Questions:
When do you get up as a rule?
2. Why do you do your morning exercises?
3. What do you have for breakfast?
4. How long does each lesson last?
5. When do you begin to clean the house?
