1.      ЧтениеALEXIS ELLS’S DREAM

From the time she was a small child, Alexis Ells remembers rescuing injured animals and bringing them home for care.

“Healing has always been innate to me,” says Ells. “It’s been a calling, a passion. I was one of those blessed people who always knew what I wanted to do.”

By continuing to follow this innate passion, Ells is fulfilling her life’s dream as the founder of the Equine Sanctuary, a non-profit organization that rescues, rehabilitates, and re-trains injured performance horses that can no longer compete.

Ells says reaching her dream meant facing life’s inevitable uncertainties and taking action now, notlater.

“So many people are waiting for that moment,” she says. But “that right moment never shows up. We have to create that moment. Our destiny isn’t about fate, it’s about a choice.”

Ells’s life has been fraught with great challenges, including a serious illness and a car accident in 1988 that ended her competitive riding career and left her with a serious brain injury. But she believes her success is built on her attitude that being challenged in life is inevitable; being defeated is optional.

“I think it’s about perception and perspective,” she says. “If you give yourself the freedom to know that anything is possible, and you keep having faith, belief, and perseverance despite the odds, you will eventually arrive at the top of the mountain.”   TakenfromNationalGeographic

МЕЧТА АЛЕКСИС Элл

С того времени, когда она была маленьким ребенком, Алексис Эллс помнила, как спасала раненых животных и приносила домой их для ухода.

“Исцеление было врожденным во мне”, говорит Эли. “Это был вызов, страсть. Я была одной из тех счастливых людей, которые всегда знали, что хотели сделать”.

Продолжая следовать за этой врожденной страстью, Элл осуществляют мечту ее жизни как основателя заповедника для лошадей, некоммерческой организации, которая спасает, реабилитирует и переобучает раненых лошадей, которые больше не могут соревноваться.

Элл говорит, что достижение ее мечты означало сталкиваться с неизбежной неуверенностью в жизни и действовать сейчас, а не потом.

“Столько людей ждет того прекрасного момента”, говорит она. Но, “тот нужный момент никогда не появится. Мы должны создать тот момент. Наша судьба не предсказана, это выбор”.

Жизнь Элли была полна больших проблемах, включая тяжелую болезнь и автокатастрофу в 1988, которая закончила ее конкурентоспособную карьеру наездницы и оставила ее с серьезной травмой головного мозга. Но она полагает, что ее успех основан на ее отношении к жизни, что спорить с жизнью неизбежно; быть побежденным необязательно.

“Я думаю, что всё в восприятии и перспективе”, говорит она. “Если Вы дадите себе свободу знать, что всё возможно, и Вы имеете веру, верите и имеете настойчивость несмотря на разногласия, то Вы в конечном счете взберётесь на верх горы”.

1.      ЧтениеTHE GIANT PANDA

An endangered species, the giant panda can only be found in the mountain bamboo forests of Western China. There are only about 1,000 wild giant pandas left in the world. Giant pandas are members of the bear family, and they are mammals. Even though giant pandas look just like bears, they certainly do not behave like bears. Unlike their meat-eating relatives, giant pandas are vegetarians for the most part of their time. Their favourite food is bamboo. Giant pandas must eat a lot of bamboo everyday to get enough nourishment. In fact, they spend at least 12 hours everyday eating about 33 pounds of bamboo. However, if they are extremely hungry and bamboo is nowhere to be found, giant pandas may eat grass, fruits, or sometimes, small animals like chicken.

Giant pandas do not live in groups. They are loners! They only leave their territory from March to May to look for a mate. Female giant pandas usually give birth to twins. Baby giant pandas are very small, blind, pinkish, and weigh about 5 ounces at birth. Strangely, mother giant pandas tend to choose to raise just one baby and leave the other to die. Mother giant pandas feed their babies with milk. A baby giant panda opens its eyes at six to seven weeks. It starts to learn how to walk when it is about three or four months old. Mother giant pandas look after their babies for about 18 months. Once the young is strong enough, it bids farewell to its mother and moves out to live independently.HELPdesk.com

ГИГАНТСКАЯ ПАНДА
Исчезающие виды гигантской панды можно найти только в горных бамбуковых лесах Западного Китая. В мире осталось около 1000 диких гигантских панд. Гигантские панды являются членами семейства медведей, и они являются млекопитающими. Хотя гигантские панды выглядят как медведи, они конечно не ведут себя как медведи. В отличие от своих плотоядных родственников, гигантские панды-вегетарианцы по большей части своего времени. Их любимое лакомство-бамбук. Гигантские панды должны есть много бамбука каждый день, чтобы получить достаточно питания. По сути, они проводят не менее 12 часов каждый день и едят около 33 килограммов бамбука. Однако, если они очень голодны и бамбука нигде нет, гигантские панды могут есть траву, фрукты, или иногда, мелких животных, таких как курица.
Гигантские панды не живут группами. Они являются одиночками! Они покидают свои территории с марта по май в поисках второй половинки. Самка гигантской панды обычно рождает двойню. Малыши гигантской панды очень маленькие, слепые, розоватые, и весят около 5 унций при рождении. Странно, но мать гигантской панды склонна выбирать и вырастить только одного детёныша, а другого оставляет умирать. Панды кормят своих детенышей молоком. Малыш гигантской панды открывает свои глаза в шесть-семь недель. Он начинает учиться ходить около трех или четырех месяцев от роду. Мать гигантских панд присматривает за младенцами в течение примерно 18 месяцев. Молодая панда, становясь достаточно сильной, прощается с матерью и уходит, чтобы жить самостоятельно.

1.      ЧтениеTHE MUSICAL GLASS

Mary Elizabeth loved music. She was happy when she heard lovely sounds. She waited to hear the birds sing outside her window in the spring. She listened for the cricket's song when she swept the hearth in her mother's kitchen. The horses passing her papa's store made a "clip clop" sound. That was a song to Mary Elizabeth. These songs made her heart fill with joy.

Mary Elizabeth had only one wish. She wanted to make music on her own. She couldn't sing very well. Her brother, Matthew, had said, "You sound like the cat when Nana stepped on its tail."  She loved music so much. Why couldn't she make music on her own?

Mary Elizabeth knew where to go when she was sad. Her Uncle Ben Franklin could always make her smile. Best of all, Uncle Ben loved music just like Mary Elizabeth. One morning, Mary Elizabeth stood outside Uncle Ben's workshop. She could hear him humming to himself. She knew something fun was going to happen. She opened the door and saw Uncle Ben at his work table. Oh, no! What had happened? Broken glasses were everywhere. There were big glasses, little glasses, and middle sized glasses spread out on his table. Wait a minute. Only the stems that held the glasses up were broken off. What was Uncle Ben doing? Uncle Ben saw the puzzled look on Mary Elizabeth's face. "Come, little songbird," he said. "I will show you how we can make beautiful music. We will use what is broken. We can turn it into something good."

Музыкальные очки

Мэри Элизабет любила музыку. Она была счастлива, когда слышала прекрасные звуки. Она ждала пение птиц за окном весной. Она слушала песни сверчка, когда она подметала очаг на кухне своей матери. Лошади, проезжая мимо магазин ее отца издавали звук"клип клоп". Это было песней для Мэри Элизабет. Эти песни наполняли ее сердце радостью.

У Мэри Элизабет было только одно желание. Она хотела сочинять свою собственную музыку. Она не могла петь очень хорошо. Ее брат Мэтью говорил: "Ты издаёшь такие звуки, которые похожи на те,которые издаёт кошка, когда Нана наступает ей на хвост." Она очень сильно любила музыку. Почему она не может сочинять музыку сама?

Мэри Элизабет знала, куда пойти, когда ей былогрустно. Ее дядя Бен Франклин всегда может заставить её улыбнуться. Больше всего дядя Бен любил музыку так же, как Мэри Элизабет. Однажды утром Мэри Элизабет стояла возле мастерской дяди Бена. Она слышала, как он напевал что-то. Она знала, что должно быть случилось что-то весёлое. Она открыла дверь и увидела дядю Бена возле своего рабочего столе. О нет! Что произошло? Разбитые очки были всюду. Там были большие очки, маленькие очки, иочки среднего размера, разложенные на столе. Подождите минуту. Только дужки очков были отломаны. Что дядя Бен делал? Дядя Бен увидел недоуменный взгляд на лице Мэри Элизабет. "Ну, заходи, маленькая птичка певчая", сказал он. "Я покажу тебе, как мы можем сделать красивую музыку. Мы будем использовать то, что разбито. Мы можем превратить его во что-то хорошее."

1.ЧтениеTHE FIRST WOMAN IN BUSINESS

At the start of the twentieth century the idea of women in business seemed crazy. In those days men held all the positions of power and made all the decisions about money. They believed that a woman` s place was at home, looking after her children, cooking for her family and managing the house. If a woman needed to work she could perhaps find a job in a shop or in a factory, but she had no chance of working as a businesswoman or a banker, or a lawyer.

Women` s fashions in the USA and Europe at that time supported their position in society. Fashionable women wore long dresses that almost touched the ground. This made it difficult for them to drive a car, ride a horse or even walk quickly.

But many women were not happy with their position in society, and they didn’t like the clothes they had to wear. One of those people was a French woman called Gabrielle ‘Coco’ Chanel. When she went into business in 1910, she planned to change clothes that women wore. But over the next sixty years she did much more than that, as she became the richest and the most successful businesswoman.

Coco Chanel had no experience of business when she opened her first hat shop in Paris in 1910. She was only twenty-seven years old and she came from an ordinary family.  Many of Coco’s customers in her first shop were her young women friends. They loved the simple but beautiful hats and dresses that Coco made for them, and soon her shop started to do well.

Первая женщина В БИЗНЕСЕ

В начале ХХ века идея того, что женщины могут быть в бизнесе, казалась сумасшедшей. В те дни мужчины занимали все посты во власти и принимали все решения, связанные с деньгами. Они считали, что место женщины дома, уход за детьми, приготовление пищи для семьи и управление домом. Если женщине нужна была работа, она, возможно, могла бы найти работу в магазине или на фабрике, но она не имела никаких шансов работать как предприниматель или банкир, или адвокат.

Женская мода в США и Европе в то время поддерживалась их положение в обществе. Модницы носили длинные платья, которые почти касались земли. В этом было трудно водить машину, ездить на лошади или даже быстро ходить.

Но многие женщины не были довольны своим положением в обществе, и им не нравилась одежда, которую они должны были носить. Одной из таких людей была француженка по имени Габриэль Коко Шанель. Когда она пришла в бизнес в 1910 году, она планировала изменить одежду, в которойходили женщины. Но в течение следующих шестидесяти лет она сделала гораздо больше, так как она стала самой богатой и самой успешной предпринимательницей.

У Коко Шанель не было опыта в бизнесе, когда она открыла свой первый магазин шляп в Париже в 1910 году. Ей было только двадцать семь лет, и она была из обычной семьи. Многимиклиентами первого магазина Коко были ее молодыеподруги. Они любили простые, но красивые шляпы и платья, которые Коко делала для них, и вскоре ее магазин начал приносить доход.ДэвидЭванс

1.ЧтениеInthe 21^stcentury, ourneedforenergyis greater than it has ever been. Fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas were formed millions of years ago, and when power stations burn them to create electricity, they release harmful gases into the atmosphere. There may be enough coal to last for a few hundred years, but known oil and gas reserves will run out in less than 50 years - and then what will we do?

Many scientists suggest turning to renewable energy, which means sources of energy that will never run out. It can be produced using the wind, the sun, waves or hot springs. The wind can turn large turbines to produce electricity, while energy from the sun can be collected in panels and stored in batteries. The movement of the sea can also be changed into electrical energy by using wave machines and, in parts of the world where there is volcanic activity, hot springs can produce geothermal energy. Unlike nuclear power, these are safe sources of energy that don’t pollute the environment.

Our dependence on fossil fuels has to end soon. Let’s hope that by the time all the reserves are gone, there will be enough alternative sources of efficient energy available. In the meantime, why don’t we try to reduce the amount of energy that we use?

 

В 21-м веке, наша потребность в энергии стала больше, чем когда бы то ни было. Природные виды топлива, такие как уголь, нефть и природный газ, появились миллионы лет назад, когда электростанции сжигают их, чтобы получить электричество, они выделяют вредные газы в атмосферу. Угля может хватитьна нескольких сотен лет, но известные запасы нефти и газа иссякнут менее чем за 50 лет - и что тогда будем делать?

Многие ученые предлагают перейти к возобновляемым источникам энергии, которые никогда не иссякнут. Их можно получить с помощью ветра, солнца, волн или горячих источников. Ветер может вращать большие турбины для производства электроэнергии, в то время как энергия солнца может быть собрана в панелях и накапливаться в аккумуляторах. Движение на море также могут быть изменены в электрическую энергию с помощью волновых машин, а в частях мира, где есть вулканическая деятельность, горячие источники могут производить геотермальную энергию. В отличие от ядерной энергетики, это безопасные источники энергии, которые не загрязняют окружающую среду.

Наша зависимость от ископаемых видов топлива должна закончиться в ближайшее время. Будем надеяться, что к тому времени, когда иссякнут все резервы, будет достаточно альтернативных источников энергии, доступных и эффективных. В то же время, почему бы нам не попробовать сократить количество энергии, которую мы используем?

1.ЧтениеCoca-Cola is probably the world’s best-known taste, and was the first truly global brand. Dr.JohnStith Pemberton, a pharmacist from Atlanta, Georgia, invented the drink. He mixed the Coca-Cola syrup, which wascombined with carbonated water to make a popular soda fountain drink, in the local Jacob’s Pharmacy.

The first customers, who paid a hand­some 5 cents a glass, pronounced the drink to be “excellent,” “delicious and refreshing.”

Dr. Pemberton’s partner and book-keeper, Frank M. Robinson, suggested the pro­duct’s unusual name and wrote it down in his florid handwriting, feeling that the “two C’s would look well in advertising.” The first advertisement for the drink appeared in the Atlanta Journal, and handpainted oilcloth signs indicated which soda fountains offered the product. This was just the first step in a fantastic co-operation between the brand and advertising, which has made the trademark universally recognized.

A continuous stream of slogans have entered the collective consciousness, from “Drink Coca­Cola” in 1886, the iconic “I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing” television advertisement of 1971, right up to the simple assertion “Real” of today’s campaign.

 

Coca-Cola, вероятно, самый известный в мире вкус, и был первым по-настоящему глобальным брендом. Джон СтитПембертон, фармацевт из Атланты, штат Джорджия, изобрел напиток. Он смешал сироп Coca-Cola, которая была в сочетании с газированной водой, чтобы сделать популярный содовый напиток в местной аптеке Джейкоба.

Первые клиенты, которые платили 5 центов за стакан, говорили, что напиток был "отличным", "вкусным и освежающим".

Партнером доктора Пембертонабыл бухгалтер Фрэнк М. Робинсон, который предложил необычное название продукту и каллиграфически записал его, чувствуя, что «два C будет хорошо выглядеть в рекламе." Первая реклама для напитка появился в AtlantaJournal и нарисованные от руки на клеёнке изображения фонтана из содового напитка. Это был только первый шаг в фантастическом сотрудничестве между брендом и рекламой, которая сделала марку общепризнанной.

Непрерывный поток слоганов входили в коллективное сознание, от "Пейте Coca-Cola" в 1886 году, до знаковых "Я хотел бы научить мир петь" в телевизионной рекламе 1971 года, вплоть до простого утверждения "Реал" сегодня.

1.      Чтение NATIONAL TOM SAWYER DAYS

What do Tom Sawyer and jumping frogs have in common? Stories about both of them were created by one man: Mark Twain. Born Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain was his pen name), Twain was 4 when his family moved to Hannibal, Missouri, located on the west bank of the Mississippi. Twain grew up there and was fascinated with life along the river -- the steamboats, the giant lumber rafts, and the people who worked on them.

"The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" is one of Twain's best-loved short stories, and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is one of his most famous novels. Both these works are celebrated by events held during National Tom Sawyer Days every fourth of July. The boy in the photo entered his frog in the jumping contest. There's also a fence-painting contest to see who can paint the fastest. The idea for this contest comes from a scene in Tom Sawyer, in which Tom has been told to paint the fence in front of the house he lives in. It's a beautiful day, and he would rather be doing anything else. As his friends walk by, he convinces them it's fun to paint, and they join in the "fun." By the end of the day, the fence has three coats of paint!

Although the story of Tom Sawyer is fiction, it's based on fact. If you go to Hannibal, you'll see the white fence, which still stands at Twain's boyhood home. 

 

НАЦИОНАЛЬНЫЙ день ТомаСойера

Что общего у ТомаСойера и прыжками лягушки? Рассказы о них обоих были созданы одним человеком: Марком Твеном. Poдился под именем СэмюэлКлеменс (Марк Твен был его псевдоним), Твену было 4, когда его семья переехала в Ганнибал, штат Миссури, расположенный на западном берегу Миссисипи. Твен вырос там и был очарован жизнью вдоль реки - пароходами, гигантскими плотамии людьми, которые работали на них.

"Знаменитая скачущая лягушка из Калавераса" является одним из самых любимых рассказов Твена, и Приключения Тома Сойера являются одним из самых известных его романов. Оба эти произведения упоминаются в мероприятиях, проводимых во время Национального дня Тома Сойера каждое четвертое июля. Мальчик на фото участвовал со своейлягушкой в соревновании по прыжкам. Также там проводится конкурс покраски забора, чтобы апределить, кто может красить быстрее всех. Идея этого конкурса появилась из сцен в книге оТоме Сойере, в котором было рассказано, как Том красил забор перед домом, в котором он жил. Это был прекрасный день, и он бы, скорее, делал что-нибудь другое. В то время, когда проходят мимо его друзья, он убеждает их, что краситьэто весело, и они присоединяются к "веселью". К концу дня, забор имеет три слоя краски!

Хотя история Тома Сойера-это выдумка, но основана она на факте. Если вы приедете в Ганнибал, вы увидите белый забор, который до сих пор стоит у дома детства Твена.

1.ЧтениеTHE RICH FAMILY IN CHURCH

I'll never forget Easter of 1946. I was 14, my little sister Ocy was 12, and my elder sister Darlene was 16. We lived at home with our mother; our dad had died five years before, leaving Mom with three school kids to raise and no money.

A month before Easter the pastor of our church asked everyone to save money and help a poor family.

When we got home, we talked about what we could do. We decided to buy 50 pounds of potatoes and live on them for a month.  When we thought that if we kept our electric lights turned out as much as possible and didn't listen to the radio, we'd save money on that month's electric bill. Darlene got as many house and yard cleaning jobs as possible, and both of us babysat for everyone we could.

Every day we counted the money to see how much we had saved. At night we'd sit in the dark and talk about how the poor family was going to enjoy having the money the church would give them.

The day before Easter, Ocy and I walked to the grocery store and the manager gave us three $20 bills and one $10 bill for all our change. We had never had so much money before.

We could hardly wait to get to church. When the pastor was taking money, Mom gave him a $10 bill, and each of us, kids, $20.

As we walked home after church, we sang all the way. Later that afternoon the minister drove up in his car. Mom went to the door and then came back with an envelope in her hand. She opened the envelope and out fell a bunch of money. Therewerethree $20 bills, one $10 andseventeen $1 bills.

Богатаясемьявцеркви

Я никогда не забуду Пасху 1946 года, мне было 14, моей маленькой сестреOси было 12 лет, и моей старшей сестреДарлин было 16. Мы жили в доме с нашей матерью; наш папа умер пятью годами раньше, оставив маму воспитывать без денег троих детей- школьников.

За месяц до Пасхи пастор нашей церкви попросил всех собрать деньги и помочь бедной семье.

Когда мы вернулись домой, мы говорили о том, что мы могли бы сделать. Мы решили купить 50 фунтов картофеля и жить на них в течение месяца. Мы думали, что если мы будем отключать наши электрические фонари подольше и не слушать радио, мы сэкономим деньги месячного счёта за электричество. Дарлинбудет убирать в стольких домах и во дворах, сколько сможет и обемы можем работать няньками.

Каждый день мы считали деньги, чтобы увидеть, как много мы сэкономили. Ночью мы сидели в темноте и говорили о том, как бедная семья будет довольна, когда церковь даст им деньги.

Накануне Пасхи, Oси и я пошли в продуктовый магазин, и управляющийразменял нам три 20-долларовые и одну 10-долларовую банкноты. У нас никогда не было столько денег раньше.

Мы не могли дождаться, когдапойдём в церковь. Когда пастор брал деньги, мама дала ему 10-долларовую банкноту, и каждая из нас, детей, 20-долларовую.

Когда мы шли домой после церкви, мы пели всю дорогу. Во второй половине дня министр подъехал на своей машине. Мама пошла к двери, и вернулся с конвертом в руке. Она открыла конверт, и из него упала пачка денег. Там было три 20-долларовых банкноты, одна 10-долларовая исемнадцать банкнот по 1 доллару.

1.ЧтениеTHE BERMUDA TRIANGLE

At 2 pm on 5 December 1945, five US bombers took off from Fort Lauderlale in the USA for a training flight in perfect weather. Shortly afterwards, the pilots radioed that their flight instruments were all malfunctioning. Two hours after take-off, all contact with the planes was lost. A reconnaissance plane was immediately dispatched to search for the missing planes. Within 20 minutes, radio contact with it had also been lost. No trace of any of the planes was ever found. In all, six planes and 27 men had vanished into the air.

The disappearance of the six planes was far from being the first mysterious incident in the area: for years, navigational problems and strange magnetic forces had been reported. The disappearance was not even the greatest disaster within the triangle. The Cyclops, a 19,000-ton US ship was sailing from Barbados to Norfolk, Virginia. In March 1918, when it vanished with its crew of 309 from the surface of he ocean without making a distress call and without the slightest wreckage ever being found.

The losses of boats and planes in that area defy explanation. The disasters are the origin of a new phrase in the English language – the Bermuda Triangle and this phrase has entered legend. The Bermuda Triangle has been called the 'Devils’ Triangle, the Triangle of Death, the Graveyard of the Atlantic. It has swallowed up 140 ships and planes and more than 1,000 people. Today many airmen and sailors are still afraid of that area of the Atlantic Ocean.

 

 

Бермудский треугольник

В 2 часа 5 декабря 1945 года, пять американских бомбардировщиков взлетели с Форта Лаудерлэйл в США для тренировочного полета в прекрасную погоду. Вскоре спустя некоторое время, пилотысообщили по радио, что их пилотажные приборы были в неисправности. Через два часа после взлета, все контакты с самолётами были потеряны. Разведывательный самолет был немедленно отправлен на поиск пропавших самолетов. В течение 20 минут, радиосвязь с ним также была потеряна. Никаких следов самолётов не было найдено. В целом, шесть самолетов и 27 мужчин исчезли в воздухе.

         Исчезновение шести самолетов было далеко не первым инцидентом в таинственном районе: в течение многих лет сообщалось о проблемах с навигацией и странных магнитных полях. Исчезновение в треугольнике не было величайшей катастрофой. Циклоп, корабль США весом 19 тысяч тонн плыл из Барбадоса в Норфолк, штат Вирджиния. В марте 1918 года, он исчез с экипажем 309 человек с поверхности океана, не дав сигнала бедствия, и не были найдены нигде его обломки.

Потери лодок и самолетов в этом районе не поддаются объяснению. Эти происшествия явились источником появления новой фразы в английском языке - Бермудский треугольник, и эта фраза стала легендой. Бермудский треугольник был назван Треугольником "дьяволов", Треугольником Смерти, Кладбищем Атлантики. Он поглотил 140 кораблей и самолетов и более 1000 человек. Сегодня многие летчики и моряки все еще боятся этого районав Атлантическом океане.

I am going to tell you about my school. My school is not new and modern but I like it very much. It has three floors. The classrooms are large and light. There are classrooms for different subjects, such as English, History, Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, Geography, Biology Literature etc.

There are two computer classes in our school. We study computer science here. 

We’ve also an assembly hall, which is situated on the ground floor. Meetings, conferences, concerts and all the celebrations take place here. We prepare different performances for all holidays. We sing songs, recite poetry, dance, and participate in theatre performances.

There are many opportunities to go in for sports in our school. Our school has a gym, a sports ground, a football field,  and other sports facilities. There are many different sports groups: table tennis, swimming,  athletics, football, volleyball. Many pupils of our school attend these sports groups.

The teachers in our school are very skilled. They try to give us all their knowledge and awake our interest to their subjects and to self study. Besides the school subjects, our teachers tell us about everything, about different problems of our world, such as ecology, nature protection, climat changes etc.

 

I think that school years are very important for every person. It’s a period of becoming adult, achieving knowledges, and choosing your way in life. Often school friends remain your friends for all your life. So I’ll never forget my school, my teachers, and my classmates.

1.      ЧтениеROMEO AND JULIET - THE GREATEST LOVE STORY OF ALL TIMES

                Since the invention of the motion picture in 1894, Romeo and Juliet has been one of the most popular stories in films. Numerous movies have been based on Shakespeare’s famous love story, the earliest dating back to 1900. Many directors have taken this famous play and made it into a film, trying to keep to the themes of the original story.

              One of them is BazLuhrmann. His version of Romeo and Juliet, produced in 1996, has been described as an original, post-modern version of Shakespeare’s tragic love story.

               With this extremely successful film, Luhrmann has managed to update the story - by combining modern-day settings and characters with almost the original language. The story is set in Miami. The changes in the language, together with dramatic gun fights and passionate love scenes, make the story more accessible to modern audiences.

               In Luhrmann’s version of the film, the main characters, Romeo (Leonardo di Caprio) and Juliet (Clare Danes), are Miami teenagers of the nineties. Even though the setting of the film is very unconventional, it contains all the themes of the original version, because it does not change the story at all.

Ромео и Джульетта - величайшаяистория любви всех времён.

                С момента изобретения кино в 1894 году, Ромео и Джульетта была одной из самых популярных историй в фильмах. Многочисленные фильмы были основаны на известной истории любви Шекспира, самый первый появился в 1900. Многие режисёрыбрали эту известную пьесу и снимали фильм, пытаясь сохранить темы оригинальной истории.

              Одним из них является фильм БазаЛурманна. Его версия Ромео и Джульетты, была снята в 1996 году, является оригинальной, постмодернистской версией трагической истории любви Шекспира.

               С этим чрезвычайно успешным фильмом, Лурманну удалось обновить историю - путем объединения современного места действия и персонажей с почти оригинальными репликами. История происходит в Майами. Изменения в языке, вместе с драматическими перестрелками и страстными любовными сценами, сделали сюжет более доступным для современной аудитории.

               В версии фильмаЛурманна, главные герои, Ромео(Леонардо диКаприо) и Джульетта (КлэрДэйнс), подростки Майами из девяностых. Даже если место действия фильма очень нетрадиционно, он содержит все темы оригинальной версии, поэтому это не меняет историю.

1. ЧтениеA TEENAGE BUSINESSMAN

When most 14-year-old boys are playing football or computer games after school, James Kenyon from Manchester is running his own successful business. “I’ve heard of a company in Scotland selling homemade bath products and thought it was a good idea.

My dad said I could do that, so I decided to take a chance,” James explains. That was two and a half years ago.

James started selling bath products to his friends and neighbours, but soon he began working for two local shopkeepers. Since he started his own soap company, selling homemade soap, bath salt and other bath products, James has earned over & 4,500.

James is proud of his success in business but he thinks there are more important things in his life. “I’ve learnt lots and I’m really enjoying it, but my school work always comes first."

James` s parents are proud of their son, they think that he plans everything really well – he does homework and he can focus on the business in his spare time. James says his parents have been a big support.

In 2006 James became a finalist in the Enterprising Young Brit Award. James is just one of an extraordinary group of enterprising young British businessmen who have innovative ideas and enthusiasm for business. Age and experience is certainly no obstacle to their success; their ambition and energy inspires them to create their money-making ideas.

2.ГоворениеYou were asked to make a report about school uniform. Tell your friends: whether you wear school uniform in school or not;what the advantages and disadvantages of wearing school uniform are;what design you school uniform will be.

School uniform

1.      School uniform is an integral part of school life in many countries.

2.      They all look rather smart and strict.

3.      Children’s opinions on school uniform differ.

4.      Some say they like wearing it, while others prefer to wear a pair of jeans and a T-shirt.

5.       In my opinion, the school uniform has both advantages and disadvantages.

6.       First of all when children wear a school uniform, they realize that they are at school not at a swimming-pool or stadium.

7.       It helps to study harder, be more official.

8.       Secondly, school uniforms prevent social inequality.

9.       It means that both rich and poor children wear the same clothes.

10.  Furthermore, children don’t have such problem as what to wear in the morning.

11.  The disadvantages of school uniform include the loss of individuality because children look similar.

12.  The second problem may be untidiness.

13.  As children wear the same clothes every day their uniform starts to look a bit untidy and faded. (тусклый)

14.  I think that at home we can put on what we want, but at work and at school we need to follow the rules.

1. A HUNDRED BILLION HAMBURGERS

Once upon a time, a businessman named Ray Kroc discovered a restaurant owned by two brothers. The restaurant served just four things: hamburgers, French fries, milk shakes and coca cola. But it was clean and inexpensive, and the service was quick. Mr Kroc liked it so much that he paid the brothers so that he could use their idea and their name: McDonald’s.

Beef, big business and fast service were the ingredients when Mr Kroc opened his first McDonald’s in 1955. Four years later there were 100 of them. Kroc knew Americans liked success. So he put signs saying how many millions of McDonald’s hamburgers people had bought. In just four years, the number was one hundred million. Now, there are more than 13,000 McDonald’s restaurants from Dallas to Paris and from Moscow to Beijing.

Anyone who wants to open a McDonald’s must first work in one for a week. Then they do a nine-month training programme in the restaurants and at ‘McDonald’s University’ in Chicago. There they learn the McDonald’s philosophy: quality control, service and cheap prices. McDonald’s has strict rules: Hamburgers must be served before they are ten minutes old, and French fries, seven.

McDonald’s has never stopped looking for new methods to attract customers, from drive-in windows to birthday parties. Chicken, fish, salad and, in some place, pizza are now on the menu. Their international popularity shows they have found the recipe for success.

Сто миллиардов гамбургеров
Однажды, бизнесмен по имени РэйКрокузнал о ресторане, принадлежащем двум братьям. В ресторане подают только четыре вещи: гамбургеры, картофель фри, молочные коктейли и Coca-Cola. Но он был чистым и недорогим, и обслуживание было быстрым. Г-ну Кроку это так понравилось, что он заплатил братьям, чтобы использовать их идею и имя: Макдональдс.
Говядина, большой бизнес, и быстрое обслуживание были ингредиентами, когда мистер Крок в 1955 открыл свой первый Макдональдс. Спустя 4 года их было уже 100. Крок знал, что американцы любят успех. Таким образом, он прикреплял вывески, говорящие сколько миллионов гамбургеров из Макдональдса люди купили. Всего через четыре года, их число было сто миллионов. Теперь, есть более 13000 ресторанов Макдоналдс от Далласа до Парижа и от Москвы до Пекина.
Любой, кто хочет открыть Макдональдс, должен сначала работатьодин в течение недели. Затем они делают девятимесячную учебную программу в ресторанах и в 'Макдональдс' университете в Чикаго. Там они изучают философию Макдональдс: контроль качества, обслуживание и низкие цены. Макдональдс имеет строгие правила: гамбургеры должны быть поданы через десять минут, а французский картофель через семь.
Макдональдс никогда не перестаёт искать новые способы привлечения клиентов, от окон для машиндо дней рождений. Курица, рыба, салат, а в некоторых местах и пицца теперь в меню. Их международная популярность показывает, что они нашли рецепт успеха.

THOMAS  ALVA  EDISON

Thomas Alva Edison lit up the world with his invention of the electric light. However, the electric light was not his only invention. He also invented the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and over 1,200 other things.

Surprisingly, he attended school for only two months. His mother, a former teacher, taught him a few things, but Thomas was mostly self-educated. His natural curiosity led him to start experimenting at a young age with electrical and mechanical things at home.

When he was 12 years old, he got his first job. He became a newsboy on a train that ran between Port Huron and Detroit. He set up a laboratory in a baggage car of the train so that he could continue his experiments in his spare time. Unfortunately, his first work experience did not end well. Thomas was fired when he accidentally set fire to the floor of the baggage car.

Thomas then worked for five years as a telegraph operator, but he continued to spend much of his time on the job conducting experiments. Thomas Edison was totally deaf in one ear and hard of hearing in the other, but thought of his deafness as a blessing in many ways. It kept conversations short, so that he could have more time for work. He called himself a "two-shift man" because he worked 16 out of every 24 hours. Sometimes he worked so intensively that his wife had to remind him to sleep and eat.

Thomas Edison died at the age of 84 on October 18, 1931. He left numerous inventions that improved the quality of life all over the world.

 

 

Томас Алва Эдисон осветил мир своим изобретением электрической лампы накаливания. Тем не менее, электрический свет не был его единственным изобретением. Он также изобрел фонограф, кинокамеры, а также более 1200 других вещей.
Удивительно, но он посещал школу всего два месяца. Его мать, бывший учитель, научила его кое-чему, но Томас был в основном самоучкой. Его естественное любопытство заставило его начать экспериментировать в молодом возрасте, с электрическими и механическими вещами дома.
Когда ему было 12 лет, он получил свою первую работу. Он стал продавать газеты в поезде, который ездил между Портом-Гурон и Детройтом. Он создал лабораторию в багажном вагоне поезда, чтобы  продолжать свои эксперименты в свободное время. К сожалению, его первый опыт работы закончился плохо. Томас был уволен, когда он случайно поджег пол багажного вагона.
Томас затем работал в течение пяти лет в качестве телеграфиста, но он продолжал проводить большую часть своего времени, проводя эксперименты. Томас Эдисон был полностью глухим на одно ухо, с трудом слышал других и думал, что его глухота как благословение во многих отношениях. Он малоразговаривал, так что он мог больше иметь времени для работы. Он называл себя "двухсменный человек", потому что он работал 16 из каждых 24 часов. Иногда он работал так интенсивно, что его жена должна была напомнить ему о сне и еде.
Томас Эдисон умер в возрасте 84 лет 18 октября 1931 г. Он оставил многочисленные изобретения, которые улучшили качество жизни во всем мире.

Besides working in fast food restaurants and small cafeterias, a very popular job for a teenager in America is baby sitting. This has its greatest appeal among teenage girls and a good baby sitter can earn quite a bit if she is reliable, responsible and mature. It is not necessarily an easy job and requires both social skills and general competence. Such a job often involves working on Friday and Saturday nights when many married couples like to spend the night going to a movie or the theatre. Other part-time jobs which are popular especially among young boys is managing a paper route or mowing the lawns of people in one's neighbourhood. These jobs also require a sense of responsibility and can be a source of good income for a high school student. Young boys who run paper routes are required to get up early in the morning to deliver the daily news regardless of the weather. This job has no holidays and requires the newspaper to be delivered every day without exception. In America there are no newspaper holidays. Part-time jobs for high schools students in America are often seen as an opportunity to teach young people about work responsibility and respect for others. The young people learn how to become part of the adult world and to share in the making of society. Неполный рабочий день для подростков. Неполный рабочий день для американских студентов очень популярный, и обычно начинается в течение их дней средней школы. Помимо работы в ресторанах быстрого питания и небольших кафе, очень популярна работа для подростка в Америке сиделки с ребёнком. Это имеет наибольший спрос среди девочек-подростков, и хорошая няня может заработать совсем немного, если она является надежной, ответственной и зрелой. Это не обязательно легкая работа и не требует социальных навыков и общей компетенции. Такая работа часто включает в себя работу в пятницу и субботу, когда многие супружеские пары хотели бы провести вечер, собираясь в кино или театр. Другие виды работы неполного рабочего дня, которые пользуются популярностью, особенно среди молодых парней- это разносить газеты или косить газоны людей в своем районе. Эти рабочие места также требуют чувства ответственности и могут быть источником хорошего дохода для студента средней школы. Молодые ребята, которые разносят газеты, должны вставать рано утром, чтобы доставить ежедневные новости, независимо от погодных условий. Эта работа не имеет праздников и требует, чтобы газета быть доставлена каждый день без исключения. В Америке нет праздников у газет. Неполный рабочий день для студентов вузов в Америке часто рассматривается как возможность научить молодых людей рабочей ответственности и уважению к другим людям. Молодые люди учатся, как стать частью взрослого мира, участвовать в создании общества.   1.      The title of the text isPART-TIME JOBS FOR TEENAGERS 2.      This text is about part-time jobs for teenagers in America. 3.      Teenagers can work in fast food restaurants and small cafeterias, baby sitting on Friday and Saturday. 4.      Some teenagers can deliver newspapers. 5.      They have to get up early in the morning and work in any weather. 6.      Part-time jobs for high schools students in America teach them to beresponsibleand respect for others. 7.      I think that having a part-time job is very useful.
