Цель данного пособия — дать
обучающемуся и учителю дополнительные материалы для развития иноязычной
коммуникативноЙ компетенции обу• чаюидихгя и успешной сдачи ими единого
государственного экзамена по английскому явыку. Пособие содержит 15
тематических и 15 типовых вариантов со всеми необходимыми дополнительными
материалами, которые включают ответы, критерии оценивания заданий 39 и 40,
дополнительные схемы оценивания заданий 39 и 40, тексты для аудирования„ Кроме
того, в пособии представлены примеры заданий к новому разделу «Говорение»,
который планируется включить в экзаменационную работу в 2015 году. ТИПО' вые
варианты и все дополнительные материалы полностью соответствуют проектам
спецификации и демоверсии КИМ ЕГЭ 2015 г.

Тематические варианты соответствуют проверяемым в ходе государствен• ного
экзамена умениям и навыкам: 2 тематических варианта ка контроль умений
аудирования, 4 тематических варианта на контроль умений чтения, З тематических
варианта на контроль умений письменной речи и 6 темати• чееких вариантов ни
контроль лексико-грамматичегких навыков, т.е. владение грамматическими формами
и конструкциями, лексическими единицами и способность оперировать ими в
коммуникативно-зничимом контексте. Преобладание тематических вариантов
«Грамматика и лексика. объясняетгя тем, что этот раздел КИМ ЕГЭ вызывает
наибольшие трудности у обучающихся и даёт более низкий средний балл выполнения,
чем другие разделы работы. По структуре и содержанию, по формату заданий
тематические варианты еоответетвукјт ризделам КИМ ЕГЭ,
Материалы пособия
могут использоваться на занятиях под руководством учителя или в процессе
самостоятельного повторения пройденного и подготовки к ЕГЭ. При использовании
пособия в школе рекомендуется задавать выполнение тематического или типового
варианта на дом (с самоконтролем времени), и в клиеее разбирать вызвавшие
затруднения вопросы и анализировать работы. Это не только ловысит эффективность
классных занятий, но и будет повышать чувство ответственности обучающихся за
результаты экзамена,
Вместе с тем,
тематические варианты, более короткие, чем типовые и не требующие много времени
для их выполнения, являются хорошим материалом для самостоятельных работ в ходе
промежуточного контроля. В каждом тематическом варианте указывается отведённое
на его выполне ние время. Можно также Г№комендонать проведение ПИСЬМеННЫХ работ
с одним заданием 39 па 20 минут.
В процессе
подготовки к ЕГЭ иностранным языкам 2015 г. рекомен• дуется обратить внимание
на уточнение критериев оценивания задания 40 в отношении продуктивного
характера письменноЙ речи экзаменуемых,

4. From local use to international trade 8. Deceiving likeness
A. The first mentioning of coffee goes us tar
back as the ninth century' At first, coffee remained largely confined to
Ethiopia, where its native beans wore first cultivated. But the Arab world
began expanding its trade horizons, and the beans moved into northern Africa
and were mass-produced. From there, the beans entered the Indian and European
markets. and the popularity of the beverage spread.
 While processing, a coffee bean absorbe
heat, and the color shifts from green to yellow and then to varying shades of
brown. Depending on the color, the beans are labeled from light to very dark.
Darker beans are generally smoother; because they have less fiber content and
the flavor is more sugary. Lighter beans have more caffeine, which result in a
slight bitterness, and a stronger flavor.

 Coffee is one of the world's most widely
consumed beverages. People often have it in the morning, when they feel tired or want to stay uwnke in
the evening. Many office workers take a coffee break when they have low energy.
It happens because coffee contains caffeine, a bitter, white crystalline
chemical that hag a vitalizing
effect in humans.
 For the best quality of brewed coffee it is
necessary to buy whole beans and grind them before brewing. It you keep an open
package of beans in the freezer it remains fresh for a month. Ground coffee
Should be used up within two weeks and also kept in a tightly closed container
in the refrigerator. But an absolutely fresh coffee can be made from green
beans that just need to be roasted first.
E. For occasions when one wants to enjoy the
flavor of coffee with almost no stimulation, decaffeinated coffee is available.
It is processed from beans while they are still green by either soaking beans
in hot water or steaming them. Decaffeinated coffee usually loses some flavor
over regular coffee, but it looks the same and can easily mislead inexperienced
users by its smell and even taste.
The adoption of coffee created unique smial
atmosphere that depends heavily upon coffee, espresso in particular.
Coffeehouses, the places where people can get together, have traditionally been
used not only for drinking coffæ, but also ag artistic und intellectual
centers. For example, cafés of Paris which ure popular tourist
attractions because they are also associated with artists, intellectuals and
writers.
G. A coffee bean is the seed of the coffee
plant, which ripens around eight months after the emergence of the flower, by
changing colour from green to red, and they should be harvested. In most
countries, the coffee crop is picked by hand. After this coffee beans are wet
processed and then dried. Finally the last layers or dry skin are removed; the
beans are sorted by size and density, roasted and sold to consumers throughout
the world.

The Slob's Holiday
My
husband and I went to Reno for our holiday last year. 'Isn't that place where
people go to get a quickie divorce?' asked my second son. 'Yes', I said, trying
to look enigmatic and interesting. 'You are not getting divorced, are you?' he
asked bluntly. 'NO,' I said, 'we are going to an OUÜloor pursuit trade
fair.' The children sighed With relief and slouched away, muttering things like
•boring'. I call them Children, but

they are all grown up, My eldest son has started to develop
fine lines around his cycs fledgling crow's feet. A terrible sight for any
parent to see. Anyway, the piece isn't about children, It's about holidays.
The first thing to be said about holidays
is that anybody who can afford one should be grateful@ The second thing is that
planning holideys can be hard work@ In our household it starts with somebody
muttering, 41 suppose we ought to think about, holiday: This remark
is usually made in and is received glumly, if the person making it has said
suppose we ought think about the Bolivian balance 0t payment problems. '
Nothing much happens for a week and then
the potential holiday-makers are rounded up and made to consult their diaries.
Hospital appointments are taken into consideration, as ure important things to
do with work. But ather highlights on the domestic calendar, such as the cat's
birthday, are swept aside and eventually two weeks are found.. The next
decision is the most painfulï where?
We travel abroad to work quite a lot but
we return tired and weary, go the holiday we are plenning is slob's holiday:
eollupse on A gunbed, read a book until the sun goes down, stagger back to
hotel room, shower, change into glad rags, eat well, wave good-bye to
teenagers, have lust drink on hotel terrace, go to bed and then lie awake and
wait for hotel waiters bring teenagers from the disco.
I never want
to be guided around another monument, as long as I live, I do not want to be
told how many bricks it took to build it. I have a short attention span for
such details, do not want to attend a *folk evening' ever, ever again. The kind
where men with their trousers tucked into their socks wave handkerchiefs in the
direction of women wearing puff-sleeved blouses, long skirts und headscarves.
I also to live dangerously and get brown,
I want my doughy English skin change from white sliced to wheat germ, I like
the simple pleasure of removing my watch strap and gazing at the patch of
virgin skin beneath.
I don't want to make new friends — on holidays
or in generali I can't manage the ones have at home. I do not want to mix with
the locals and I have no wish to go into their homes. I do not welcome tourists
who come to Leicester into my home. Why should the poor loeulg in
Holidaylanð be expected to? It's bad enough that we monopolize their
beaches, clog their pavements and spend an hour in a shap choosing a sunhat
that costs the equivalent of 75 pence.
Sot the glows holiday has several
essential requirements: a. hotel on a sunny beach, good food, a warm nightlife
for the teenagers, a big crowd to get lost in, and the absence of mosquitoes.
As I we fit. the planning stage. We have
ltRiked through All the holiday brochures, but they are full of references to
•hospitable locals', •folk nights t t "deserted beaches', and
'interesting historical sights t „ Not our cup of tea, or glass of
sangria, at all,
The porents' choice of holiday destination made the
narrator's children feel
1)    jealous.
2)    excited.
3)
alarmedv
4)
indifferent.

2)
the fact that
children are aging.
3)
the way children change their image. 4) the fact there is a
generation gap.
When the need for holiday planning is first announced in the
narrator' family, it
l) is regarded as an important political issue.
2) is met with enthusiasm by all the family. 3) seems like an
impossible task, 4) is openly ignored.
find 8 two-week slot
for a. holiday potential holiday-makers have to 1) negotiate the optimum period
for travel.
2)
cancel prior business appointments.
3)
re-schedule individual summer plans.
4)
make a list of the things to be taken into account.
The slob's holiday is the type of holiday for people, who
l) do not want to go on holiday abroad.
2)
go on holiday with teenagers.
3)
do not like public life.
4)
prefer peaceful relaxing holidays.
When the narrator says 'I also want to live dangerously',
she means
l) getting lost in the crowd.
2)
going sightseeing without a guide.
3)
choosing herself the parties to go to.
4)
lying long hours in the sun on the beach.
The main reason the narrator doesn't want to mix up with
locals is because ghe
1)
doesn't let tourists to her house at Leicester.
2)
doesn't want to add to their inconveniencies. 3) is afraid to
make friends with local people. values her own privacy above all.

A.      Dance
is in my heart, in my blood and in my mind. I dance daily. The seldom-used
dining room of my house is now an often•used ballroom. The CD-cbanger has five
discs at the ready: waltz, rock-and-roll, swing, salsa, und tango, Tango is a
complex and difficult dance. I take three dancing lessons a week, and I am off
to Buenos Aires for three months to feel the culture of tango.
B.       Clothes
play an important role in my lifei My passion for fashion begun when I was in
elementary school. I attended a private school with uniformed dress code. At
first I felt bad that I could not wear what I wanted, but soon I learned to
display my creativity and style through shoes and accessories. They can make
each of us unique, in a uniform or not.
C.       I
believe that music has a bigger place in our society than it is given credit
for. The single word 'music' covers so many styles. Rock hands and classical
musicians make listeners get the meaning from the music. Music tells stories
about life and death, expresses feelings of love, sadness, anger, guilt, and
pain without using words.
D.      Even
as an eighteen year old young Adult, I still feel the magic of Christmas. I
believe in real Christmas tree. My family has had a real Christmas tree every
year of my life. When you get home and smell the sweet pine needles, something
magical goes into your soul, rmses your spirits. Every year we buy renl tree to
fully embrace the spirit of Christmas.
E.       People
often try to get rid of the number thirteen. Many hotels and office buildings
across the world do not have u 13th floor! I believe that the number thirteen
is not un unlucky number. I was born on January, 13 and do not consider myself
unlucky in any way at all! I believe that this number should have all the
rights und respect we give the rest of the numbers,
 Many kids that ga to
public schools don't wear a uniform. They like to show off the new expensive
clothes and often have trouble picking out outfits for school in the morning.
They are more worried about whether their shirt matches the belt, rather than
if the homework is completed. I believe that this is a fault of our school
system and only causes problems.
G. They say that the music of your
youth is the soundtrack of your life. I am 50;  enjoy new artigtg and
new music, but still find words of wisdom in singles Of sixties and seventies,
still believe that •you can't always get what you want, but sometimes, you get
what you need,' that 'all you need is love'. I like to listen to the songs I
grew up with.

Past and present
I believe we are not alone.
Even if I on the other side of the world
from the farmhouse I live in, I still dream of the ancient vines out the
window, and the shed out back that my grandfather's father built in 1870 with
eucalyptus trunks. As long as I can recreate these images,

All of us need some grounding in our
modern world of constant moving, buying, selling, meeting and leaving. Some
find constancy in religion, others in friends or community. But we need some
daily signposts that we are not different, not better,

For me, this house, farm, these ancient
vines are those roots. Although I came into this world alone and will leave
alone, I am not alone.

Il

There are ghosts of dozens of
conversations in the hallways, stories I remember about buying new plows that
now rust in the barnyard and ruined crops from the same vines C
All of us are natural links in a long
chain of being, and that I need to know what time of day it is, what season is
coming, Whether the wind is blowing north or from the east, und if the moon is
still full tomorrow night, D
The physical world around us constantly changes, E
We must struggle in our brief existence to find some
transcendent meaning and so find relief in the knowledge F
You may find that too boring, living with
the past as present. I find it refreshing. There is an old answer to every new
problem, that wise whispers of the past are with us. If we just listen and
remember, we are not Alone; we have been here before.

Unleashing the power Of creativity
I have always been an optimist and I suppose that is rooted in
my belief that the power of creativity and intelligence can make the world a
better place. And the life did not disappoint me — many times it proved me
right.
For as long as I can remember, I have
loved learning new things and solving problems. So when I sat down at a
computer for the first time in the seventh grade, I was hooked. It was a clunky
old Teletype machine and it could barely do anything compared to the computers
we have today. But it changed my life.
When my friend Allen and I started
Microsoft 30 years ago, we had a vision of 'a computer on every desk and in
every home', which probably sounded a little too optimistic at a time when most
computers were the size of refrigerators and cost as much as a new modern
Japanese car. But we believed that personal computers would change the world.
And they have.
And now, after 30 years, J am still us
inspired by computers as I was back in the seventh grade.
I believe that computers are the most incredible
tool we can use to feed our curiosity and inventiveness — to help us solve
problems that even the smartest people could not solve on their own.
Computers have transformed how we learn, giving kids
everywhere a window into all of the world's knowledge. And the only thing these
youngsters should do is make the right choice, which is not always un easy
choice. Computers are helping us build communities around the things we care
about and to stay clcse to the people who are important to us, no matter they
live — next door or on the other side of the world.
Like my friend Warren Buffett, I feel
particularly lucky to do something every day that I love doing. He calls it
•tap-dancing to work'. My job at Microsoft is as challenging as ever, but what
makes me •tap-dance to work' is when we show people something new, like a
computer that can recognize your handwriting or your speech, or gestures, or
one that can store a lifetime's worth of photos or home videos and they say,
didn't know you could do that with a PC!'
But for all the cool things that a person
can do with a PC, there are lots of other WAYS we can put our creativity and
intelligence to work to improve our world. There are still far too many people
in the world whose most basic needs go unmet. Every year, for example, millions
of people die from diseases that are easy to prevent or treat in the developed
world.
 believe that my own good fortune brings
with it a responsibility to give back to the world. My wife, Melinda, and I
have committed ourselves to improving health and education in a way that can
help as many people as possible.
As a father, I believe that the death of A
child in Africa is no less bitter or tragic than the death of a child anywhere
else. And that it does not take much to make an immense difference in these
children's lives.
 am still very much gn optimist, and I
believe that progress on even the world's toughest problems is possible — and
it is happening every day. We are seeing new drugs for deadly diseases, new
diagnostic tools. and new attention paid to the health problems in the
developing world.
I am excited by the possibilities I see
for medicine. And I believe that through our natural inventiveness, creativity
and willingness to solve tough problems, we are going to see some amazing
achievements in this area in my lifetime.

Artificial
intelligence is t.hc art of making machines that are able to •think'. We often
don't notice it, but artificial intelligence is All around us. It is present in
computer in the cruise control in our cars and the servers that direct our
e-mail@ Some scientists believe that the mast powerful computers could have the
power
of the human brain, Machines have always been excellent at tasks like
calculation. But, now they are better than humans in many spheres, from chess
to mixing music.

B. The world's most powerful computer is ASCI Purple, made
by IBM in 2004. It can out 100 trillion operations per second and
has the size of two basketball courts. A computer with double power is expected
in the next two years@ A spokesman for IBM said that ASCI Purple ig near the
power of the human brain. Bui some scientists believe our brains egrry out
almost 10,000 trillion operations per second.
 The possible dangers
of intelligent machines became the stories of many science fiction films. In
The Terminator (1984), a computer network uses nuclear against the human race
in order to rule the world. This network then makes intelligent robots called  which
it programs to kill all the humans. In The (1999) and The Matrix Reloaded
0003), a,  dominates humanity, using people as
batteries to power itself.
 In 1997, the then
world chess champion Garry Kasparov played against IBM's Deep Blue
supercomputer — and lost. After six games, the world-famous Kasparov lost 2.5
to 3.5 to the computer, In February 2003, Kasparov restored human reputation by
finishing equal against the Israeli-built supercomputer Deep Junior. Kasparov
ended the game with the score 2-2 against US company X3D Technologies'
supercomputer X,3D Fritz in November 2003, proving that the human brain can
keep up with the latest developments in computing least in chess).
E.
There are a number of different methods which try to measure
intelligence, the most. famous of which is perhaps the IQ or 'Intelligence
Quotient' test. This test was first used in early 20th century Parith The
modern day IQ test mensures a variety af different types of ability such as
memory for words and figures and others@ Whether IQ tests actually test general
intelligence is disputable. Some argue that they just show how good the
individual ig at IQ tests!
F.
Analysis shows that human intelligence ig changing. We are
gaining abilities in some areas of intelligence, while losing them in others,
such as memor'$% So this generation may not remember the great number of poems,
their abilities are greater in other It been discovered that wide use of video
games improves reaction time. But we could only dream of computing without

In 1950, mathematician Alan Turing invented a test to check
machine intelligence. In the Turmg Test, two people (A and B) sit in a closed
room, a third person (C), who asks questions, sits outside. Person A tries to
answer the questions so that person C doesn't guess who they are; men or women,
while person B tries to help him (C) in their identification. Turing suggested
a machine take the place of person A. If the machine fooled the human, it was
likely to be intelligent.

Abby's
tidy drawer
One Saturday morning, Abby's Mum came
upstairs to see Abby in her bedroom. There was a, big mess on the floor and
Abby sat in the middle of it all reading a book.
'What mess,' Mum said. 'You need to have
a clear up in here. Because things get broken or lost when they're all
willy•nilly like this. Come on, have tidy up now.'
'But I'm very busy,' Abby argued, 'and
it's boring doing it on my own. Can't you help me?'
'No I can't, I'm busy too. But I'll give
you extra pocket money if you do a good job,'
When Mum came back later all the toys and clothes and
books had disappeared.
'I'm impressed,' said Mum. 'But I'll inspect it properly
later.'
'It was easy,' said Abby. 'Can I have my extra pocket
money now?'
'All right. Get it out of my change purse. It's in the
kitchen tidy drawer:
In the kitchen, Abby went over to the
dresser and pulled open the tidy drawer. She hunted for the purse,
'It must be somewhere at the bottom,' Mum said. 'Let's
have a proper look.'
She pulled the drawer out and carried it
over to the table. Abby looked inside. There were lots of things like staplers
and string, but there were lots of interesting things as well.
*What's this?' Abby asked, holding up a plastic bottle
full of red liquid.

'Fake blood, from a Halloween party years ago. Your Dari and I took you to
that, dressed up as a baby vampire. You were really scary.'
Abby carried on looking through the
drawer. She found some vampire teeth, white face paint, plastic witch nails and
hair gel. Mum pulled out a glittery hair band. It had springs with wobbly balls
on the top that flashed disco colours! Abby found some sparkly hair elastics to
match the hair band. She made her Mum put lots of little bunches all over her
head so she looked really silly.
'I remember this,' Abby said as she
pulled out a plastic bag. 'Thig is from my pirate party.' Inside there was
black, false moustache and some big gold earrings.
'Come here,' Mum said and smeared white
face paint all over Abby's face. She dribbled the fake blood so it looked as if
it was coming out of Abby's eyes and mouth. She put gel all over Abby's hair
and made it stand up into weird, pointy shapes. Abby put in the vampire teeth
and slipped on the witch fingers. She made scary noises at Wow-wow, the cat. He
ignored her and carried on washing himself on the seat next to her.
Abby earne to sit on her Mum's knee.
'It's fun doing this together,' she said.
'Maybe. But we still haven't found the change purse.'
'Well, you know things will get lost, or broken, when they're all
'You cheeky monkey!' Mum laughed. "But what shall I
do with it all?'
'I know, it's easy,' Abby said and began
to remove everything off the table into her arms. She put it all back in the
kitchen drawer.
Mum looked at her suspiciously.
'Let's go and inspect your bedroom, shall we?'

Abby followed her upstairs and into her
bedroom. Wow•Wow was sitting in front Of her fish tank looking hungrily ut the
goldfish. dashed under the bed when he saw Mum and Abby, Mum kneeled down and
lifted the bed cover to get him out. Underneath were heaps of Abby's toys,
books, tapes, clothes and shoest empty plastic cups, wrappers and a half-eaten
sandwich on a plate.
'Abby: What's all this?'
'It's my tidy drawer," Abby said.
She wrapped her arms around her Mum and gave her a kigg. 'Let's sort this one
together now.'
When Mum came to Abby's room she saw 1) her daughter
reading her table.
2)
the cat looking
at the fish.
3)
a terrible mess all over the place, Abby dressed up as a
vampire.
Abby egreed to tidy up her room because Mother

Chocolate is made
from the seeds of the tree Theobroma cacao. The ancient Aztecs used the beans
of the cacao tree as form of money. The Aztecs discovered that by crushing the
beans into a paste and adding spices, they could make a refreshing and nourishing
drink. This drink was very bitter, not like our chocolate drinks today. 16th
century European explorers brought the drink back from their travels, added
sugar, and soon it wag popular expensive luxury.
You can receive a,
•sweet tooth' from your Recent study At New York University suggests there is a
genetic reason why some people prefer sugary foods. The study was based on two
groups of mice. The parents of the first group were given sweetened water and the
parents of the second — unsweetened water. The team round gene that was
different in the two groups of mice and then looked for similar genetic chains

Like other swcet
food, chocolate helps endorphins, natural hormones, that give us the feelings
Of pleasure end. well-being, to appear in our body. Chocolate also makes us
feel good by reacting with our brains. Scientists say that some people may
develop chocoholigrn — a dependency on chocolate. So it's just possible that,
with every bar of chocolate, your brain changes step by step in order to make
you love chocolate more and morel

E.
Back in the 17th and 18th centuries, many scientific works were
written explaining the advantuges of chocolate for medicine, and today it's u
regular food in army rations. Chocolate could help prevent tooth decay,
according to scientists at Japan's Osaka The cocoa beans from which chocolate
is made have an antibacterial agent fights tooth decay. These parts of the
beans are not usually used in chocolate production, but in future they could be
added back in to chocolate to make it friendly for teeth.
F.
Californian scientist Professor Carl Keen and his team have
suggested that chocolate might help fight heart diseage. They say that it
contains chemicals called flavinoids, which thin the blood. Researchers at
Harvard University have carried out experiments that suggest that if you
eat chocolate three times a month you will live almost a, year longer than
those who don't do it. But it'S not all good news — chocolate has much fat,
which means that eating too much of it may lead to obesity.
G.
Being very fat, or obese, is linked to marry health problems
including heart disease and diabetes. The causes ot obesity are not yet fully
understood. Both genes and the environment play a role. The recent
growth of the number of fat people seems to be linked to
environmental factors: people are much less active nowadays, fatty and sugary
foods like chocolate are cheap, people eat larger portions of food, and the
calories per person have increased.

Walking is not enough to keep fit
Walking may not be

Researchers found improvements Awere significantly higher in the second group.

But to increase the effectiveness, some intensity must be
added to their exercise. 'Across your day, while you are achieving those 10,000
steps, take 200 to 400 of them at a faster pace. You've got to do more than
light exercise and include regular moderate activity, and don't be shy to have
an occasional period of time at an energetic level.' The researchers were
concerned there was too much focus  rather than on its intensity.
Professor Stuart Biddle, an expert in
exercise science at the University of Loughborough, said it was possible that
the current guidelines on how much exercise to take were set too
low. "However, you have got to find F

The harder you make it, the fewer people will actually do it.'
Professor Biddle said there was no doubt that energetic exercise was the way to

In the morning Abby jumped out of bed and
switched on the light in her fish tank. Gerry, the fat orange goldfish, was
dozing inside the stone archway. It took Abby a while to discover Mr. Sticky
because he was clinging to the glass near the bottom, right next to the gravel.
At school that day she wrote about the mysterious Mr. Sticky
who was so small you could mistake him for a piece of gravel. Some of the girls
in her class said he seemed an ideal pet for her and kept giggling about it.

anymore. Small things are cute aren't they?'
'Yes they are. Now hurry upt I'm going to miss my train.'
At the weekend they cleaned out the tank. 'There's a
lot of filth on the sides,' Mum said. 'I'm not sure Mr. Sticky's quite up to
the job yet. t
They took the fish out and put them in a
bowl while they emptied some of the water. Mr. Sticky stayed out of the way,
clinging to the glass while Mum used the special •vacuum cleaner' to clean the
gravel. Abby cleaned the archway and the filter tube. Mum poured new water into
the tank.
'Where's Mr. Sticky?' Abby asked.
'On the side,' Mum said. She was busy concentrating on the
water,
Abby looked on all sides of the tank. There was no sign of
the water snail.
'He's probably in the
gravel then,' her mum said. She put the fish back in the clean water where they
swam round and round, looking baffled.
That evening Abby went up
to her bedroom to examine the tank. The water had settled and looked lovely and
clear but there no sign Of Sticky, She went downstairs.

'What's wrong with being small?'
*Nothing at all. But, it makes

The door to the bedroom opened and Mum's face tappeared. Abby
tried to ignore her but it was hard when she walked over to the bed and sat
next to her. She holding her glasses in her hand. *These             my new

Vicky
Vicky Forth wus an optimist, and she had
been for all of her life; even when she was  child, her _ had been
positive.
Her glass was always
half full, never half empty; tomorrow would be a much better day than today;
the future was full of promise and success. She _ her best to look the bright
side of things.

How right she had been
to encourage her daughter to be optimistic, to set her sights on Oxford
Universi Women were not yet admitted Lo membership of the University, but they
could lectures, take courses, and sit for examinations. Grace Rose would be
able to do all of these things, and would be well after by Vicky's dear
old friend Millicent, now widowed, who had u lovely new house in Oxford. It had
been an inspired idea to write her. Vicky was relieved and happy for her
daughter, who was a wonderful student, She hoped to be a historian one day.
Vicky always thought that  up children
was so exciting.

She remembered that her husband wag waiting for her downstairs. After an
her dress and stepping into matching rose-colored shoes, Vicky went back to her
dressing-table and selected a pair of diamond earrings and a matching brooch
made of silver. She lociked at herself in the large looking glass in one corner

The
secret tunnel
In the middle of our village, there is a
beautiful old church, which dates back to the beginning of the Middle Ages. It
was rebuilt several but some of its parts, including the foundations, are well,
[331  about restoration, a while ago they
decided to install a heating system there, as it gets cold in winter. Some of
the local boys volunteered to help, including myself.
The benches were connected in stacks, so
it -was hard work to lift or to push them away, but we mangged it. Most of the
church floor was covered with marble-type slabs, but under some benches there
were just SOtne ancient-looking bricks,

30

29

We got really  as we had heard stories about an old
underground passageway leading from a crypt below the church to the castle in
the nearest city, It is twelve miles
So, a friend of mine and I started to dig
down there. It was relatively easy io pull out the top layer of bricks, and
underneath them we found soil, which also moved easily as it was completely
dry@ We found that one side of the hole was so soft that you could just  a
stick through it. It obviously passageway! Then workmen came in and
told us to stop. Just fancy that! We had to stop at the most exciting moment.
After a few days, the
workmen put a layer of hard cement over the entire floor, our find
remained A Îttygtery. But I won't give  I still hope some day
and find that secret tunnel. Maybe, that will become the greatest of the 21st
century.

Spain as a state
A.
A unique food battle festival known as La Tomatina is celebrated
in Spain every year on the last Wednesduy of August. It involves thousands of
people engaging in a brutal battle, throwing overripe tomatoes At each other.
The festival spans more than a week and although there are many elements to the
festival, such as parades, music, dancing and fireworks, they are all centered
on the tomato fight.
B.
Spanish cuisine is a heavenly mixture of chicken, mixed
vegetables, fish and meats. Many of the most popular Spanish dishes are a type
of Paella, which is a rice dish that features a variety of ingredients. Hot
chocolate and churros are very popular desserts throughout the country. Spain
is also famous for its aromatic wines and other alcoholic beverages like
Sangraa, Cava and authentic Spanish beer.
C.
Spain Is very rich with traditions, especially those associated
with food. For breakfast, some families buy fresh churros, pair them with hot
chocolate and enjoy a leisurely mornmg routine. Luneh is another important meal
of the day, and it is usually heavier than breakfast. This is sometimes
followed by siesta, an afternoon nap to get through post-lunch drowsiness.
During this time, shops close and then open again after two or three hours of
rest.
D.
Spain is an important resting spot for migratory birds, and a
home for many animals. But, unfortunately, many speeieg of wildlife face
threats from habitat loss and pollution. Due to centuries of tree cutting,
large forests are now found only in u few areas in the country. Spain has
created many national parks and refuges, but they cover only about seven
percent of the country.
E.
Although there is a national parliament, Spain is one of the most
decentralized democracies in Europe. Each of its 17 regions manages its own
schools, hospitals, and other public services. The tourist services industry
drives Spain's economy, but at the same time, since 1986, when Spain joined the
European Community, it has worked to diversify its economy, by building
important industries such as mining, shipbuilding, and textiles.
F.
Bullfighting is one of the most famous traditions in Spain. Thig
risky sport evolved from the ancient Roman gladiator games, with human matadors
opposing charging bulls. However, this tradition has lately become widely
debated and younger generations and animal-rights activists protest against
bullfighting, Either way, it remains an icoruc part of the country and
bullfights take place in many Spanish towns and cities.
LA siesta
is a well-known aspect of Spanish culture. Seeking to balance work with pleasure,
Spaniards have long practiced this tradition, when students and professionals
return to their homes around midday for a big lunch, followed by a few hours of
rest and family time, Many businesses also shut down for a short break.
However, 21st-century big cities move at a faster pace, and don't take siestas,
but many people in smaller towns and villages still take a siesta each day.

often provides a whole new perspective on what it is to be European and on what
the EU is creating jointly. The national histories and cultural heritage ot the
different countries may differ, C
Being able to speak to one another raises
awareness of what people have in common and at the same time increases mutual

This is particularly the case for small and mediumsized enterprises EAccording
to the study, nearly I million firms huve lost contracts with potential clients
in other EU countries because of language barriers. The study also emphasizes

When I grow up
When I was in kindergarten, my class was
asked, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Colorful crayons
danced sheets Of paper to illustrate our dream occupations and cherished jobs,
Our drawings were hung in the school hallway for our parents to see at Back to
School Night. I remember looking down the line and seeing pictures of pretty
ballerinas dancing, brave firefighters putting out a blaze, and fearless
astronauts leuping across the moon — admirable careers that were seen as
typical dreams of five-year-old kids.

My picture showed a stick figure with brown disheveled hair holding a carton of
orange juice over a large rectangle that was supposed to be a counter.
Underneath was my barely legible handwriting: "When I grow up, I want to
work at the Market Basket because it would be fun to swipe orange juice across
the scanner and talk to customers." To this day my parents won't let rne
forget that out of everything I could have aspired to be, my five-year-old self
wished to work at the local grocery store.
When we are young, questions of what we
want to be when we grow up are common. Yet we are not expected respond with an
answer that is likely to come true. However, when we become teenagers, we are
asked the very same question twice as often. The difference is, now we are
supposed to answer with confidence,
Teenagers are expected to know exactly
what they want to be and how they are going to achieve that govil. Not all of
us eun be so sure at this age. Even though I am in high school, I cannot answer
convincingly. But don't consider that a bad thing. How am I supposed to know
what I will want to spend my time doing at the age of thirty or forty?
When think about the future, I definitely
don't see myself working at the counter of the Market Basket, but in reality,
if that was what would make me happy, would do it. so, the next time someone
asks what I want to be when I grow up, I will simply say, want to be
happy." And it is hope that drives us in this direction.
"Hope is not a grain of sand,"
the Gambian poet, Lenrie Peters, echoes, but no matter how tiny it is, it would
Still be sufficient to keep the youth alive and gang in most extreme
circumstances. It is hope that spurs the youth on, to be up and doing, It is
hope that keeps the youth going no matter how hard it is. Nelson Mandela as a
youth hoped against all hope for the liberation Of his people and he actually
lived to see his hope being fulfilled. Robinson Crusoe, cast away on an
uninhabited island, hoped against all hope for survival and this propelled him
to start from scratch and build a compound and large farm single—handedly,
Fur away in "Another Country: the
Land of Literature," Sister Eileen Sweeney sums up through her writings
that Hope is the anchor that keeps "the ship" called
"youth" steadfastly held together no matter the high and Stormy sea
Of passion, pain, distress or tribulation that butter against it.
Happiness is a destination for everyone.
We may want to walk different paths in life, narrow or wide, crooked or
straight, but we all want to be happy wherever we end up. Choose your path, but
don't worry Coo much about choosing wisely. Make  mistake or two and
try new things. But always remember, if you're not happy, you're not at the end
of your journey yet,

A. Flamingos are very social and often
live in large groups, called colonies, throughout the world. They are found in
both the Eastern and Western hemispheres. The American Flamingo is
the only one that lives in the wild in North America, and on many Caribbean
islands such as the Bahamas, Cuba, and Hispaniola. It also lives in narthern
Sauth America, the Galgpagos Islands, and parts of Mexico..
 Flamingos fish while
walking in shallow water end mud, When a flamingo notices its potential
dinner (for example, shrimp, snails, and plantlike water organisms), it
plunges its head into the watert twists its head upside down, and scoops the
fish up using its upper beak like a. shovel. Flamingos get their pink coloring
from the carotenoid pigment in their food, which is the same pigment that makes
carrote orange,
C. Flamingoe build nests that look like
mounds of mud along waterways. The parents take turns sitting on the egg to
keep it wgrtn nnd after about 30 days the egg hatches. Young flamingos are born
white, with softy downy feathers and a straight bill. Both adult birds look
after the newl*Žlrn flgmingo. The young leave the nest after about five
days to join other young Tlarningog in small groups, returning to their parents
for food.

Scientists aren't
100% sure why flamingos stand on one leg, but they have some theories. One
theory says that it is to keep one leg warm. Another idea is that flamingos are
drying out one leg at Lime, A third theory states that it helps them deceive
their catch, because one leg looks more like a plant than do two, Whatever the
reason, it is truly amazing that these top heavy birds can balance on one leg
for hours at a. time.
E. Ancient Egyptians believed that
flamingoe were the living representation of the god R.n. In the Americas, the
Mache people Of ancient Peru worshipped nature and paid a great deal of
attention to these birds and often depicted flamingos in their art. However,
Andean miners killed flamingos for their fat, which is believed to be remedy
for tuberculosis, and in Ancient Rome their tongues were considered a,
delicacy.
Many people have
plastic flamingos in their yards as ornaments, This is a fun and inexpensive
way to add some elegance to one's landscaping, In many parts of the world
flamingos are popular collectibles, appearing in the form of magnets. water
globes, and jewelry. They are also said be an image that people find Co be
calming and exciting at the same time. For these purposes people buy millions
of plastic flamingos annually all around the world.

G. Flamingos have been affected in many ways by global warming. One of the
biggest concerns is making nests and laying eggs, Flamingos depend on rainfall
to help them mate and without adequate rain they won't engage in Many
researchers find that global warming reduces the chance of rain and can cause
drought in some of the areas where they live. This could mean a significant
reduction of offspring in the years ahead.

Running a multilingual European Union
The use of 23 official languages is the
public face of the European Union (ELI). The reasons A  are not hard to identify: they are
democracy, transparency and the right to know. New legislation must be
published and made available in a language all EU citizens can understand, The
use of all official languages Also makes it easier for people to participate in
public debates and consultations

Its law-making function and the direct
involvement of its citizens explain  like the United Nations or NATO, which
operate only at the intergovernmental level with no legislative function. The
United Nations, with more than 190 members, uses only six languages. The
Council of Europe, , publishes official documents only in
English and French, as does NATO.

Running
multilingual EU comes at a price. But it is modest price when set against the
results. The annual cost of translation and interpretation is about 10/0 of the
ELI budget, E . The total cost has risen by only margin despite the
arrival of 12 new countries since 2004.
The EU institutions
have adjusted their procedures over the years to handle the rising number of
official languages. Translators work with written texts, and interpreters with
the spoken word. But they must Obe able to translate or interpret
into their main language, F, from at least two other EU languages.

1.
with more members than the EU

Internet safety issues
The fact is that 93 percent of kids are
online.
Even if parents limit
or ban internet access, kids have access at school, through friend's
smart phone, libraries, and schools. The internet is a tool that our children
need to use and master with wisdom dispensed by parents. We need tech-savvy
youth who will grow up to be leaders of the community.
Many schools use
websites such as EdModo to connect students and teachers. My friend Reem js the
vice principal of an Islamic School. She says that many teachers assign work
from school that children need to research online. Some of the best
homeschooling regourees are online.
Far too many parents
do not allow their children monitored access to the internet, leading ta two
scenarios. Their children end up lying and using it behind their back; or are
so sheltered that they do not know how to conduct themselves online when they finally
do get access.
On the other hand,
more often than not, there are parents who freely give unmonitored access.
But caretakers raising
children in today's world need to think about several issues:  How does a
parent knaw if his/her child is engaging in inappropriate Internet activities?
•
How would a parent know if his/her child is cyber-bullied if he
or she does not tell them?

According to Common Sense
Media, "Young teens don't yet have an "off" switch in their
brains. That means that they often act impulsively. This lack of impulse
control, combined with online anonymity, could lead toward dangerous behuviors;
cyber-bullying, inappropriate photo or video uploads, illegal downloads,
meeting strangers — even cheating. Because socializing is so important to young
peopleï online interactions can pretty intense whether they're pleying
chatting with friends, or sharing work.
Using open communication
and thoughtful intervention, parents can help their wired offspring learn bow
maneuver ele•ct.ronic gadgets and the World Wide Web, Here are some tips on how
to give children monitored access the Internet:  spend time with your
children online@  ask to sce their Facebook page, their
Instagrams, and Twitter feed. It may seem like a foreign territory, but it. is
imperut.ive that parents talk to their children about social media, At this
stage, it is not our job to try to protect them by isolating them@ It is our
jab to teach them bow to deal with information and with people.
•
younger children often play on websites such as Movie St*r
Planet, Moshi Monsterst and new ones pop up every day. Most of these sites
teach extreme consumerism as children •play' to accumulate points or currency
and use it to 'buy' stuff: furniture, VIP passes, etc.; urging your child to
become 'Rich and Famous.' As responsible parents, we need to prevent children
from becoming mindless consumers. Il' you do allow your child to visit these
sites, then watch them while they play.
•

teach them not to talk to or chat with random strangers. That person with  name

they put online is forever. Anyone can cut, copy and paste pictures and text.

A.
Eight thousand feet uln:vve sea level, this fivemcentury•old
pre-Columbian site was once home to the Incas. Until American historian Hiram
Bingham publicized his findings of the area in a book called u Across
South America," the mountain-top ruins were widely unknown to anyone
living outside of the Urubamba Valley. Since Spanish colonialists had no idea
of Machu Picchu's existence, Incan architecture and design of the buildings
were preserved.
B.

Does the arrangement of the 25-ton sandstone blocks at
Stonehenge suggest some sort of spiritual prediction? No one really knows.
Theories about the nearly 5.000-yearOld circular stone structure vary. The mast
intriguing time to visit Stonehenge is at sunset when a yellow-orange glow can
be seen through the magnificent towers' arches making some people believe that
it was originally a place of healing, while others think it was used for
ancestor worship.
C.
The 1,500-year-old pyramids, located near the town of Meridu, may
be less than their equivalents in Egypt, but they just as remarkable, Although
there are many structures there like the Temple of the Warriors or the Wall of
Skulls, the main attraction is El Castillo, the 78-faot, 91-gtep central
pyramid. The Absolute best time to travel to El Castillo ig at sunset when
shadows give the illusion that a large serpent ig sliding down the pyramid.
D.
The Earth's southernmost point, Antarctica, is the driest and
coldest of the seven continents. For a place that is 98 per cent covered in
one-mile-deep ice, it is hard to imagine why anyone would want to visit it At
all. But there is a strange beauty about Antarctica that is incomparable to
anywhere else on the planet. Anyway, while Antarctica has no permanent
residents, there are often up to 5,000 researchers working there at a time.
E.
It is believed that hundreds of years ago the natives of Buster
Island carved massive heads out of stone to honor their uneestors. Today, there
are 887 "moai," as the statues are called, which create a mysterious,
yet intriguing landscape on this Polynesign island, which is a four-and-a-half
hour flight from Lima, Peru. The tullegt statue on the island, named Paro, is
33 feet high und weighs 82 tons.
F.
North America's Red Canyon is 277 river miles long, eighteen
miles wide, and one mile deep, and if it doesn't make your mouth drop with
surprise, then you might not be human: Most tourists go there by car and there
are plenty of spots along the way to pull the car over and have a look from the
top. You can algo go down into the canyon's depths and experience the very
heart of the canyon hy going rafting on the Colorado River, and even spend the
night at a hotel below the rom.
G.
Thousands of miles long, the Great Wall ot China is the largest
cultural object humans have ever built. Il majestically snakes through China,
winds around rising and falling hills, twists through an enormous countryside,
and stretches from Shanhaiguan in the east to Lop Lake in the west. However,
the wall was constructed more than 2,000 years ago not to amaze people, but in
an attempt to keep out invading tribes from the north.

Finding your sportsman spirit
Doing sports, we can really test our physical fitness in
contest, and it is one of the only wuys that nations clash peacefully.
Sportsmen and sportswomen are today's warriors — the contests Aon the pitches
and courts are the closest things we have to gladiatorial fighting.

11

If sportsmen are like warriors, then the  spirit' could be
considered the closest thing we have to warrior's code — to bushido or to
chivalry. If you develop good sportsmanship then this means that you take joy
in the contest and at the same time B, that, you win graciously and that you
don't cheat.

If you have put time and
effort into traming then you are aware of the blood, sweat and tears that the
opposition has put in well. They will have had the same dedication to their
game as you have und you will know precisely C
In this you are
brothers (or sisters) and the only difference between you is different teams.
For this reason they deserve your
respect.
There are many
traditions in many to help us retain good relationships with our opponents.
This means things like shaking hands at the end af a tennis match, and
this is Eand honourable rather thun just being muddy skirmishes.
You might have
performed brilliantly on the pitch, but you are kidding yourself if you believe
Fof your own doing, If nothing else, the wenther and luck will have played a
role in the outcome, and if you're playing a. team sport then you are only one
cog in a machine.

Your amazing brain
You carry around a three-pound mass Of
wrinkly material in your head that controls every single thing you will ever
do. From enabling you think, learn, create; end feel emotions to controlling
every blink, breath, and heartbeat — this fantastic control center is your
brain. It is structure so amazing that in the foreword to Discovering the
Brain, famous scientist James Watson wrote, "The brain is the most complex
thing we have yet discovered in our universe. It contains hundreds of billions
of cells interlinked through trillions of connections. The brain confuses the
mind." Obviously to understand brain function, we need to confront its
complexity,
Imagine your kitten is on the kitchen
counter. She's about bo step onto a stove. You have only seconds to act.
Accessing the signals coming from your eyes, your brain quickly calculates
when, where, and at what speed you will need to dive to intercept her. Then it
orders your muscles to do so. Your timing is perfect and she's safe, No
computer can come Close to your brain's awesome ability to download, process,
and react to the flood Of information coming from your eyes, ears, and other
sensory organs.

Your brain contains abotat 100 billion microscopic cells called neurons — so
many it would take you over 3,000 years to count them all. Whenever you dream,
laugh, think, gee, or move, it'S because tiny chemical and electrical signals
are racing between these neurons along billions of tiny neuron highways.
Believe it or not, the activity in your brain never stopg. Countless messages
zip ground inside it every second like a supercharged pinball machine. Your
neurons create and send more messages than all the phones in the entire world.
And while a Single neuron generates only a tiny amount Of electricity, all your
neurons together generate enough electricity to power a low-wattage bulb,
Neurons send information to your brain at more than 150
miles
(241 kilometers) per hour. For example, a
bee lands on your bare foot. Sensory neurons in your skin relay this
information to your spinal cord and brain at a speed of more than 150 miles
(241 kilometers) per hour. Your brain then uses motor neurons to transmit the
message back through your spinal cord to your foot to shake the bee off
quickly. Motor neurons can relay this information at more than 200 miles (322
kilometers) per hour.
Riding a bike seems impassible at first.
But soon you master it. How? As you practice, your bruin sends "bike
riding" messages along certain pathways of neurons over and over, forming
new connections. In fact, the structure of your brain changes every time you
learn, as well as whenever you have a new thought or memory.
It is well known that uny exercise that
makes YOUT heart beat faster, like running or playing basketball, is great for
your body and even help improve your mood, But large-scale efforts of
scientists from u group of institutes from the National Institutes of Health
have recently showed that for period of time after you've exercised, your body
produces a chemical that makes your brain more receptive for gaining new
knowledge. So if you're stuck on a homework problem, go out and play a game of
soccer, then try the problem again. You just might discover that you're able to
solve it.
According ta the text, the most distinctive
characteristic of the bruin is its 1) ability to control the body.           3)
size.
2) elaborateness.                                             4)
weight.

The claims that the brain is better than
any computer because it
1)
processes more information.
2)
works faster.
3)
can download information from different sources. 4) reacts to
information more adequately.

According to the text, the work Of brain
neurons influences
l) electricity production.                                3)
everything we do.
2) our dreams.                                                 4)
character of messages we send.
The narrator compares the work Of neurons
to pinball machine to
l) show the character of brain work.
2)
raise the
awareness of the brain's nature.

3)

stress the amount of information that, the brain processes. illustrate
the shape of the neuron highways.
Comparing sensory and motor neurons,
we can make a conclusion that 1) motor neurons transmit information faster.
2)
there are more motor neurons.
3)
sensory neurons transmit information faster. there are
more sensory neurons.
The structure of brain changes when
1)
our memory fails.           3) we are riding a bike.
2)
new neurons
appear.         we acquire new knowledge.
Physical exercises proved to be good
for 1) the production of brain chemicals.
2) solving homework problems. 3) giving the brain a rest.

8. New place, new make-up

A. Max Factor is often called the
father of modern make-up. The success story started in Max's early years. He
was born Max Faktorowicz in Lodz, Poland, near the Russian border, around 1877.
With 10 children, his parents could not afford formal education for their
children, so at the age of eight Max was placed in an apprenticeship to a
pharmacist. Years of mixing potions for the pharmacy developed his fascination
with cosmetics.

 Eventually,
Max opened his own shop in u suburb at Moscow, selling hand-made cosmetics.
"Health and beauty products" became an important busines for him. A
traveling theatrical troupe bought and wore Max's make•up and wigs while
performing for Russian nobility. Soon Max the official cosmetic expert for
members of the Russian court, the Imperial Grand Operu and the Ballet.
C.
In 1904, Max and his family moved to the United States. Max
Fnktorowic:z was now Max Factor, the name given Lo him at Ellis Island by
immigration officials. Now Max Factor was dreaming of movie actors and
actresses using his products. He moved his family to Angeles. In 1914, Factor
created a make-up specifically for movie actors that, unlike thick theatrical
make-up, would not crack.
D.
The development of color film production required the Max Factor
company to develop new line of products. The existing make-up reflected
surrounding colors. As a result of how bad they looked, many actors and
Actresses refused to appear in color films. At this time Frank Factor, Max's
son, took the lead and developed a suitable product. It had solid cake form and
was applied with a damp sponge, which concealed skin imperfections.
 Soon actresses and
other women working on movies gets were stealing new makeup to use in their
personal lives. Its only disadvantage for everyday use was that it made the
skin too dark under regular lights, having been designed for the powerful
lights used in film studios. Frank Factor began developing lighter shades. In
1937, new "Pancake" make-up was released to the public and it became
one of the fastest selling cosmetic items.
F. After Max Factor's death, Frank
Factor took the name MAX Factor, Jr., and expanded the still private cosmetics
firm. The company began development of a smear-proof lipstick which would not
fade. A special machine constructed to test the formula's resistance. The
result was "Tru-Color" lipstick in six shades of red. During World
War Il, Max Factor developed make-up shades for use by the US Marine Corps in
camouflaging faceth

G, Max Factor, Jr.,
continued his commercially successful developments, such as cream make-up
supplied in stick form. Soon the company offered shampoo for ornen and
its first perfume called "Electrique". The early 1960s saw the
company go public and list its stock on the New York Stock Exchange. This
period also saw the third generation of the Factor family
rise to senior positions within the company.

The discovery Of three planets
In 1781, William
Herschel, viewing the sky, recogni7.ed that an object in the constellation of
Gemini was moving against the background of stars. At first, he thought he was
looking at A new comet, but upon further investigation realized

Herschel named his discovery 'the Georgian
planet' after his patron,

George Ill. Other names proposed included Herschel and Uranus. Eventually
Uranus became the universally accepted name. Uranus is similar in composition
to Neptune, and both Blarger gas giants Jupiter and Saturn.

In the 19th century it
became evident that the orbit of Uranus did not follow Newton's law of
Gravitation. Many astronomers began to question whether Newton's theory applied
to an object so far from the sun. However, two astronomers, John Couch Adams in
England and Urbain Le Verrier in France, both Independently came up with the

thereafter, though none E telescopically

Ordeal by water
It is tempting to see the river Thames as
another artery in London's integrated transport system, the same colour blue on
the map as the Victoria Underground line. In this ideal world, passengers move
effortlessly from river ferry to train, bus or Tube, continuing their seamless
journey carefree.
Unfortunately, that is not exactly how it
is. Father Thames is not as kind and even-tempered as it might seem as one is
looking at the map. It is a muddy, tidal creek whose flukish currents
insidiously rip round the base of bridges. Navigation is hard. And the river is
not  it does giant loops, especially around
the Canary Wharf financial district. A passenger alighting from a river ferry
often has to walk five or ten minutes to the nearest land connection.
With London's Tube and buses bursting at
the seams, a succession of entrepreneurs have braved these negatives and tried
unsuccessfully to set up commuter services on this natural highway. Sean
Collins reckons he is the 15th since 1905 — but this time things may have
changed. His business, which started as Collins River Enterprises in 1999,
shows every sign of surviving its second decade, despite the economy's woes and
volatile fuel costs. Thames Clippers, as the firm is called these days, carried
3.2m passengers in 2009, running fast catamarans between Woolwich, downriver of
the city centre, and Waterloo.

Perhaps Mr. Collins, now its managing director, simply was lucky enough to pick
the right time. The past decade has been kind to the Thames. Big property
developments have sprung up on both sides of the river, and more are on their
way before the 2012 Olympic games. And so far, at least, Canary Wharf seems to
be weathering the financial storm. But there has been still another advantage:
both public and private backing for the firrn have been crucial.
Thames Clippers gets a gmull subsidy from
Transport for London (TfL), part of the Greater London Authority. A big step
towards welcome integration came in November, when passengers were first
allowed to use their TfL Oyster fare cards on Thames Clippers, too. And
recently, Greenwich Council agreed to pay J269,000 for guaranteed service
between Greenwich and Woolwich over the next four years.
One big problem is the jumbled ownership
and management of landing piers: TfL owns 7 of the 13 in central London and
various property developers the rest. At piers used jointly, the situation does
not favour the ferries trying to stick to a timetable. They can be delayed by
tourist boats hanging on for passengers. To have more control of its schedule,
Thames Clippers took over the lease of the privately-owned London Bridge City
Pier in November.
Another impediment is the unnecessarily
rigid restriction an speed. The Port of London Authority (PLA) imposes a
12-knot limit west of Wupplng, which means that boats can show their
exhilarating 30•knot cruising speed only on the eastern stretches of the river.
The PLA supports the plan to get more
people on the river but insists that safety is paramount. It also points out
that tourists and freight, not just commuters, use the Thames. So for the
moment, Thames Clippers' civilised catamarans to and from Waterloo remain a
secret pleasure for the cognoscenti.

According to parggraphs and 2, the Thames is
I) fully integrated into London's transport system.
2)
not perfectly fit for solving London's transport problems.
3)
an ideal way to travel round the cit'$%
4)
providing a shorter journey than on-land transport.

eventually one of four assistants came over, introduced himself to me us Mr.
Palmer and asked how he could help. After a closer inspection of the young man,
I doubted that he could help anyone. He must have been about seventeen and was
so pale and thin he looked as if a gust of wind might blow him . "I'd like to know some details
concerning Number 147 Chelsea Terrace," I said, "Would madam please
excuse me?" he
and walked over to a filing cabinet. He no attempt to invite me in or even to
offer me a chair. He placed the single sheet on the countertop and studied it
closely.
"A greengrocer's shop," he
said. "Yes. What prieo is the owner asking for the property?" I
asked. I was becoming more and more annoyed by being go obviously ignored.
"One hundred and fifty guineas is being asked for the shop," the assistant, his eyes fixed on the
bottom line of the schedule. The shop turned out to be ridiculously expensive.
I made my  back

 Modern WesteTn
theatre comes in large measure from ancient Greek drama, from which it takes
technical terminology, classification into genres, and many of its themes,
stock characters, and plot elements, The Greeks also developed the concepts of
dramatic criticism, acting as a career, and theatre architecture. The theatre
of ancient Greece consisted Of three types of dramat tragedy, comedy, and the
satyr play.
B.
Western theatre developed and expanded consaderably under the
Romans. The Roman historian Livy wrote that the Romans first experienced
theatre in the 4th century BC. The theatre of ancient Rome was a thriving and
diverse art form, ranging from festival performances of street theatre, nude
dartcung, and acrobatics, to the staging Of broadly appealing situation
comedies, to the high-gtÿle, verbally elaborate tragedies,
C.
Theatre took on many different forms in the West between the 15th
and 19th centuries, including commedia dell'arte and melodrama. The general
trend wag away from the poetic drama of the Greeks and the Renaissance and
toward a more naturalistic prose style of dialogue, especially following the
Industrial
Theatre today, broadly defined, includes performances of
plays and musicals, ballets, operas and various other farms.
D.
The eighteenth century in Britain introduced women to the stage,
which would have been extremely inappropriate before. These women were looked
at as celebrities but on the other hand, it was still very new and
revolutaonary that they were on the stage and some said they were unladylike
and looked down on. Charles Il did not like young men playing the parts of

reputation of the group than on an individual star actor.

Internet
Internet is one of the greatest tools we
have today. Billions of bits of information, unlimited ways to connect, games
to play, videos to watcht things to learn. There's something for everyone. We
Facebook, tumble, stumble, and tweet more now than ever. Social medla is
connecting us in incredible ways. You can create communities of like-minded
people that would never meet before on the Internet. But, due to this, we spending
copious amounts of time on the World Wide Web, and it's slowly changing who you
are as a person.
I went for a long period of time where I
didn't read a book. I finally got around to picking up a few new books and as
soon as I started reading them, I struggled. I couldn't hold concentration like
I used to. I would read a whole paragraph with my mind elsewhere or had this
constant anxious feeling to do something else, even when there was absolutely
nothing else to do. My mind would jump from one thought to another and I barely
could read a chapter in one sitting. A talked to a few people about this, and I
even looked to the trusty Internet for my solution. I found that I'm not alone,
many people report the same type of concentration shift. The reason for this is
the information overload via Internet.
We take in 34 gigabytes of information each
day now. That is 5 times more than we did 20 years ago. There is so much going
on in our minds that we rarely spend any tune on one particular bit of
information because there is always something new and more intriguing just
around the corner. When we land on a webpage, we gpend the average of about 50
seconds, if that. and know that there are at least 5 other links we can click
on the page. We can still concentrate, but our minds would much rather be
focused on a series of things, not one thought.
Not only is it altering our concentration
on reading long works, but it's changing "how" we read. We no longer
read; we skim. This is our way of adapting to this information overload. It
would take too long to process all this information und we don't need everything.
We sift through the information and get to the main point or relevant material.
The way things are written online is
changing for us as well. For anyone who has written blog post, it's a much
different style of writing compared to novels and even newspaper articles. The
things we read online are as clear and concise as possible. Adjectives are a
thing of the past. The information is usually Already condensed for you, and is
separated into neat headlines that make it easy to scan the page in a few seconds.
We don't focus on comprehension anymore, we know what we're looking for and we
find it quickly.
The way we are reading things is just
the start, the way we are thinking is changing too. Before, we had calm linear
thoughts, one thing led to another. Now, our thoughts are jumping buck and
forth between so many things. We have one thought, which lends to four or five
other non-related thoughts, and then some time later we return to the original
thought. This is a direct result of our attention being focused on so many
things for so little time on the web. There is always a link that can
take us somewhere new and start new truin of thoughts.

We've developed mue}v more fluid way of
thinking. And it's not a bad thing. It's making us more creative. You are much
more efficient at combing and filtering through ideas, which in essence is what
inspiration is. Linear thought is very organized and does not leave room tor
new ideas.
So, the Internet has become an essential
part of our daily But it's also important to disconnect for a while and Lo take
care of your body and mind. Create a balance ot time online and in the real
world, so you can reap the positive Cognitive abilities the Internet is giving
you and avoid forming an unhealthy set of habits that will cost you later in
life.
According to the author, Internet changes people because
l) Of the amount 0t information it provideth
2)
it adds lots of friends.
3)
they spend too much time online.
4)
it helps to create new communities.
OTEte«r:
Why does Internet, according to t.be author, influence
reading concentration?
1)  It
leaves less time for reading.
2)  It
provides excessive information.
3) The information there changes too fast.
4) The bits of information there are very short.

Most people who spend a holiday travelling Lake a camera with
them and photograph anything that interests them sights of a city, views of
mountains, lakes, waterfalls, men and women, children, ruins Of ancient
buildings, and even birds and animals. Later looking through their albums they
will remember the happy time they have had, the islands, countries and cities
they have seen.
B.

Of course, different people dream of different things. Someone wishes a calm
and quiet life; others imagine their life as a never-ending adventure. The
majority dream of something concrete: a villa in some warm place, an account in
a Swiss bank, a splendid car„. It's interesting to know what the dreams of
people who already have all this are. Celebrities, as we know, never hide their
unusual hobbies, and often shock us with their extravagant behaviour.

It is Junior Baseball Magazine's mission to provide information
that enhances the youth baseball experience for the entire family. The player
improves his skills and is more successful. The family enjoys the activity more
and shares this precious time in their life. Junior Baseball emphasizes good
sportsmanship, safety, physical fitness and wholesome family values.
D.
The seas are in danger. They are filled with poison like
industrial, nuclear and chemical waste. The Mediterranean Sea is already nearly
dead; the North Sea is following it. 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 species of animal, plant or Insect dies out
forever.
E.
Lots of people all over the world enjoy collecting stamps. Stamps
are like little pictures. Very often they show the flowers or the trees which
grow in this or that country, or they can show different kinds Of transport Of
the country. Stamps rnay also have portraits of famous people on them. Some
stamps show art work from the history Of the country.

"Friend" is the title of my favourite magazine. It consists of 70
pages, with lots of colourful and bright pictures and provides interesting and
useful information for people who love animals. The magazine includes numerous
articles devoted to various topics connected with domestic animals, ways to
take care of them, pet food, animal health and many other topics crucial for
any animal lover.
G. People are beginning to realize that
environmental problems are not just somebody else's. Many people join and
support various international organizations and green parties. Human life is
the most important, and polluted air, poisoned watert wastelands, noise, smoke,
gas, exhaust all influence not only nature but people themselves. Everything
should be done to improve ecological conditions on our planet.

Mobile phones
On New Year's Day, 1985, Miehuel Harrison
phoned his father, Sir Ernest, to wish him u happy new year. Sir Ernest was

At the time, mobile phones weighed almost a kilogram, cost several thousand
pounds and provided only 20 minutes talktime. The networks themselves were
small; Vodafone had just a dozen masts covering London. Nobody hari any idea of
the huge potential of wireless communication and the dramatic impact B

Hardly anyone
believed there would come a day when mobile phones were so popular cBut in 1999
one mobile phone was sold in the UK every four seconds, und by 2004 there were
more mobile phones in the UK than people. The boom was a result of increased
competition which pushed prices lower and created innovations in the way that
mobiles were sold.
When the government
introduced more competition, companies started cutting prices to attract more
customers. Cellnet, for example, changed its prices, D It also introduced local
call tariffs.
The way that
handsets themselves were marketed was also changing and it was Finland's Nokia
who made EIn the late 1990s Nokia realized that the mobile phone was a fashion
item: so Lit offered interchangeable covers which allowed you to customize and
personalize your handset,

Llandudno
Llandudno is truly a fine and handsome
place, built on a generously proportioned bay and lined along its broad front
with a huddle of prim but gracious nineteenth• century hotels that reminded me
in the fading light of a lineup of Victonan nannies. Llandudno was
purpose-built as resort in the mid-1800s, and it cultivates a nice
old-fashioned air. I don't suppose that Lewis Carroll, who famously strolled
this front with little Alice Liddell in the 1860s, would notice a great deal of
change today.
To my consternation, the town was packed
with weekending pensioners. Buses from all over were parked along the side
streets, every hotel I called at was full, and in every dining room I could see
crowds — veritable oceans — of nodding white heads spooning soup and conversing
happily. Goodness knows what had brought them to the Welsh seaside at this
bleak time of year.
Farther on along the front there stood
clutch of guesthouses, large and virtually indistinguishable, and a few Of them
had vacancy signs in their windows. I had eight or ten to choose from, which
always puts me in mild fret because I have an unerring instinct for choosing
badly. My wife can survey a row of guesthouses and instantly identify the
one run by a white-haired widow with a fondness for children, and sparkling
bathroom facilities, whereas I can generally count on choosing the one run by a
guy with a grasping manner, and the sort of cough that makes you wonder where
he puts the phlegm. Such, I felt, would be the ease tonight.

All the guesthouses had boards out front listing their many amenities — COLOUR
TV, HOSPITALITY TRAYS. FULL CENTRAL HEATING, and the coyly euphemistic EN SUITE
ROOMS, meaning private bathrooms. One place offered satellite TV and a trouser
press, and another boasted CURRENT FIRE CERTIFICATE — something I had never
thought to 100k for in a B&B. All this heightened my sense Of unease and
doom. How could I possibly choose intelligently among such variety of options?
I selected a place that looked reasonable
enough from the outside — its board promised a color TV and cottee making
facilities, about all I require these days for a Saturday night — but from the
moment I set foot in the door I knew it wag u bud choice. I was about to turn
and flee when the owner emerged from a back room and stopped my retreat with an
unenthusiastic "Yes?" A short conversation revealed that a single
room with breakfast wag for £19.50. It was entirely out of the question
that I would stay the night in such a dismal place at such an exorbitant prioe,
so I said, "That sounds fine," and signed in. Well, it's so hard to
say no.
My room was everything I expected it to
be — cold and cheerless with larninated furniture, grubbily
matted carpet, and those mysterious ceiling stains that bring to mind a
neglected corpse in the room above. There was u tray of coffee things but the
cups were disgusting, and the spoon was stuck to the tray.
The bathroom, faintly illuminated by a
distant light activated by a length of string, had curling floor tiles and
years of accumulated dirt packed into every corner. I peered at the yellowy
tile around the bath and sink and realized what the landlord did with his
phlegm. A bath was out of the question, so threw some cold water on my face,
dried it with n towel that had the texture of shredded wheat, and gladly took
my leave.
Llandudno is described as a 1)
fashionable 19th century
2)

5. Perfect for an active holiday

3. Bad for animals

7. New perspectives

4. A visit to the zoo

8. New rules follow

The mountains of Scotland (we call them the Highlands) are
wild end beautiful part of Europe, A golden eagle flies over the mountains. A
deer walks through the silence of the forest. Salmon and trout swim in the
clean, pure water of the rivers. Some say that not only figh swim in the deep
water of Loch Ness, Speak to the people living by the Loch. Each
person has a story of the monster, and some have photographs.
B.      Tresco
is a beautiful island with no cars, crowds or noise — just flowers, birds, long
sandy beaches and the Tresco Abbey Garden, John and Wendy Pyatt welcome you to
the Island Hotel, famous for delicious food, comfort and brilliant servuc:e.
You will appreciate superb accommodation, free
saunas and the indoor swimming pool.
C.

The Camel and Wildlife Safari is a unique mixture of the traditional and
modern. Kenya's countryside suits the Safari purposes exceptionally well.
Tourists will have a chance to explore the bush country near Samburu, to travel
on a camel back or to sleep out under the stars. Modern safari vehicles are
always available for those who prefer comfort.
D.      Arrival
can be the hardest part of a trip. It is late, you are road-weary, and
everything is new und strange. You need an affordable place to sleep, something
to eat and drink, and probably a way to get around. But in general, it's a
wonderful trip, full of wonderful and unusual places. Whether it ig the first
stop on trip or the fifth city visited, every traveller feels a little
overwhelmed stepping onto new street in a new City.
E.       No
zoo hus enough money to provide basic habitats or environments for All the
species they keep. Moet animals are put in a totally artificial environment,
isolated from everything they would meet in their
natural habitat. Many will agree that this isolation is harmful to the most of
zoo inhabitants, it can even amount to cruelty.
F.       A
new London Zoo Project is a ten year project to secure the future for the Zoo
and for many endangeTed animals. The plan has been devised by both animal and
business experts to provide world-leading accommodation for all our animals, to
more fully engage and inform people about conservation issues, to redesign
certain aspects of Zoo layout.
G.      Leave-no-trace
camping is an increasingly popular approach to travel in wilderness areas. As
the term suggests, the goal is for the camper to leave as little impact as
possible on the place he is visiting. One of its mottos is "Take nothing
but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints." Its simplest and most fundamental
rule is: pack it in, pack it out, but it goes beyond that.

The last time I saw my rather was in Grand Central
Station. I was going from my grandmother's in the Adirondacks to a cottage on
the Cape that my mother had rented, and I wrote my father that I would be in
New York between trains for an

hour and a half, and asked if we could have lunch together.
His secretary wrote to say that he would meet me at the information booth  noon,
and at twelve o'clock sharp I saw him coming through the crowd.
He was a stranger to me
— my mother divorced him three years ago and I hadn't been with him since — but
as soon as I saw him I felt that he was my father, my flesh and blood, my
future and my doom. I knew that when I was grown I would be something like him;
I would have to plan my campaigns within his limitations. He was a big,
good-looking man, and I was terribly happy to see him again,
He struck me on the back
and shook my hand. "Hi, Charlie," he said. "Hi, boy. I'd like to
take you up to my club, but it's in the Sixties, and if you have to catch an
early train I guess we'd better get something to eat around here." He put
his arm around me, and I smelled my father the way my mother sniffs a rose. It
was a riCh compound of whiskey, after-shave lotion, shoe polish, woollens, and
the rankness of a mature male. I hoped that someone would see us together. I
wished that we could be photographed. I wanted some record of our having been
together.
We went out of the
station and up a side street to a restaurant. It was still early, and the place
was empty• The bartender was quarrelling with a delivery boy, and there was one
very Old waiter in a red down by the kitchen door. We sat downt and my father
hailed the waiter in a loud voice. "Kellnert" he shouted.
"Garcon! You]" His boisterousness in the empty restaurant seemed out
of place. "Could we have a little service here!" he shouted. Then he
clapped his hands. This caught the waiter's attention, and he shuffled over to
our table.

"Were you clapping your hands at me?" he asked.
"Calm down, calm
down," my father said. "It isn't too much to ask of you — if it
wouldn't be too much above and beyond the call of duty, we would like a couple
of Beefeater Gibsons."
"I don't like to be clapped
at," the waiter said.
"I should have
brought my whistle," my father said. have a whistle that is audible only
to the ears of old waiters. Now, take out your little pad and your little
pencil and see if you can get this straight: two Beefeater Gibsons. Repeat
after met two Beefeater Gibsons."
"I think you'd better go somewhere
else," the waiter said quietly.
"That," said
my father, "is one of the most brilliant suggestions I have ever heard.
Come on, Charlie."
I followed my father out
of that restaurant into another. He was not so boisterous this time. Our drinks
came, und he cross-questioned me about the baseball season. He then struck the
edge of his empty glass with his knife and began shouting again. "Garcon!
You! Could we trouble you to bring us two more of the saxne." "How
old is the boy?" the waiter asked.
"That," my father said, "is none of your business."
"I'm sorry, sir," the waiter said, "but I won't serve the
boy another drink."
"Well, I have some
news for you," my father said. "I have some very interesting news for
you. This doesn't happen to be the only restaurant in New York, They've opened
another on the corner. Come on, Charlie."
He paid the bill, and I followed him out
of that restaurant into another

 Lithuania is
situated on the eastern Baltic coast and borders Latvia in the north, the
Kaliningrad region of the Russian Federation and Poland in the southwest, and
Belarus in the southwest and east. The geometrical centre of Europe lies in
eastern Lithuania 25krn north of its capital Vilnius. The landscape varies
between lowland plains and hilly uplands end has a complex network of rivers.
B.
Lithuania has historically been the least developed of the Baltic
republics, with a smaller industrial base and greater dependence on
agriculture. Sugar beet, cereals, potatoes and vegetables are the main crops.
Lithuania's foreign trade has gradually changed during the 1990s, and now the
European Union, not Russia, is its main trading partner,
C.
Lithuanian is the mother tongue tor 80% of the population.
After the country joined the European Union in 2004 this language has become
one of the EU official languages. Lithuania has a large number of dialects for
a small territory; including High Lithuanian and Low Lithuanian.
D.
Lithuania offers different opportunities for a nice vacation. You
can explore a range of large sand dunes and pine forests while hiking in the
Curonian Spit National Park, take part in some action sports in Nida, village
that makes a true paradise for sailing, windsurfing, paragliding and kiting, or
try out morg extreme such as hot-alr ballooning and gliding.
Those who are
interested in folklore may enjoy their stay in Lithuania in any season of the
year. The Mardi Gras celebrations are held in various Lithuanian cities and
small towns at the beginning of February. The Folklore Festival is held in
Vilnius' Old Town during in May. There you can see craft fairs, taste
traditional dishes, join song and parties and listen to psalms.
F.
Lithuania's TV market is dominated by commercial channels. The
radio market is similarly competitive. Lithuania's media are free and operate
independently of the state, and there are no government-owned newspapers.
However, politicians do occasionally attempt to influence editorial policy.
G.
In cities and towns there are buses and trolleybuses, which
usually run from 05.00 to 23.00, but times do vary between routes. You can't
pay the fare to the driver in cash but you can buy coupons from him. Coupons
can be also bought at news kiosks before hoarding. Minibuses are less crowded
but more expensive.

I arrived at the Cloud
forest in Ecuador ten days ago. I was one of a group of twelve volunteers that
wanted to save the rainforest. My reasons for going on this trip were twofold:
firstly, I wanted to collect and bring back alive some of the fascinating animals,
birds and reptiles that inhabit this region; secondly, I had long

cherished a dream to see South America: not, the inhabited
South America with its macadam roads, its cocktail bars, its express trains
roaring through a landscape denuded of its flora und fauna by the beneficial
influences of civilization, I wanted to see one Of those few remaining parts Ot
the continent that had escaped this fate and remained more or lcss as it WAS
when America first discoveredt I wanted see its rainforests, its vast lands Of
untouched, pure, natural wildlife. We were working together with local people
and scientists and we were learning and seeing new things every day. Our lodge
was comfortable, had breathtaking views and was Iin the middle of the
rainforest. It was a. two-hour from the nearest road, and it was even further
to the nearest village.
The rainforest is truly an astonishing
place. There are thousands of species af plants here and more than 700 species
ot There are millions of insects and scientists think there may be around forty
mammal species that. haven't even discovered. But whet I was really amazed
at how ever'ßhing depends on everything else for survival,
Every tree in the rainforest is covered in
a species at another kind. The black wasp uses the tarantula
nest, for its eggs, plants need monkeys far seed dispersal, and the clouds are
necessary for the survival of the whole rainforest. This is because they
provide moisture. The problem is, climate change is causing the clouds to rise
by 1—-2 meters every year, What will happen to the
plents that need this moisture? What will happen to the animals
that need those plants?

Our job was ta watch this changing ecosystem. One of my fuvourite projects was
the bird survey, Every day a group of us sot out around five o'clock with u.
local scientist, At this time of the morning the air was filled with the sound
of bird song. We had to identify the birds we hear and
see and write down aur findings. Laterl we entered all our information into a
computer at the lodge.
We also set up cameras to record pumas,
spectacled bears and other large mammals. It was always exciting
to see pumas because it meant there were other animals around that they
would normally hunt. We fixed the cameras to trees around the reserve, and
every day a team or volunteers collected the cameras memory cardth
There was a lat to do in the rainforest,
but at least I felt like we were making a difference,
Ilowever, soon started collecting some
animals and insects. I realized that as soon us the hunting got under way and
the collection increased, most of my time would be taken up in looking after
the animals, and I should not be able to wander far from camp, So was eager to
get into the forest white I had the chance.
Nevertheless, I should mention the fact
that without the help of the natives you would stand little chance of catching
the animals you want, for they know the forest, having been barn in it. Once
the animal is caught, however, it is your job to keep it alive and well. If you
left this part or it to the natives you would get precious little buck alive.
'Which reason for the trip to the rainforest was NOT
mentioned?
l) Dream Of visiting South America, 2) Gathering a collection„
 Thirst
for adventures.
4) Saving rainforests,

According to the narrator scientists
believe that
1)
plants in the rainforest do not need so much water.
2)
it's impossible to control the animals and birds in the forest.
3)
they should study animals without catching them.
4)
there is a number of unknown types of animals in the rainforest.

to do?
1)
Study the birds' Binging.
2)
Search for pumas and bears.
3)
Observe the changes in the wildlife.
4)
List the types of plants in the rainforest.
The phrase "we were making

rainforest.
2)
they were changing the ecosystem Of the place.
3)
they made life in the forest more diverse. 4) their job would
help in saving the forest.
Why did the narrator go to the forest any
time he had a chance to?
1)
He liked hunting
with local people.
2)
He didn't have chance to do any other work.
3)
He wouldn't have enough time for that later. 4) He had to feed
animals that he had caught.
According to the narrator he worked with
local people because they
1)
protected the animals.
2)
were familiar with the place. 3) saved his life.  knew
animals better.

A. Norway is first of all a land for
those who love nature. The breathtaking fjords in the southwest of the country
and Europe's largest glacier are Norway's most attractive places, but there are
many other reasons to visit this country in the north of Europe. There are
wonderful opportunities to enjoy skiing, fishing and rock-climbing. Others can
take pleasure in the charm of the Norwegian countryside, with its countless
valleys, high mountain lakes and unbelievable views.

 Many tourists corning to Norway in the
summer prefer to stay in a cottage used by northern Norwegian fishermen during
the winter cod-fishing season. Equipped with all the necessary facilities,
these cottages are leased to holidaymakers, providing an attractive form of
accommodation. They will often be actually over the water. Catching your own
fish und conking it on the fire will add a few pleasant moments to your
holiday.
C.
Norway has a long history of fishing, although much of the high
quality shellfish and other species caught off the coast are exported. However,
fish remains a common dish, along with meat, potatoes and other root
vegetables, although tastes have changed in recent years to involve wider
international choice. including pizzas and burgers. The most popular
traditional hot snack is a form of sausage, sold at numerous outlets.
D.
Traditionally entertainment in the country is largely home-based,
but thig has been changing in recent years. Most Norwegians tend to go out only
on Fridays and Saturdays, the rest of the week being fairly quiet. This is in
no small part due to the high prices of food and drink, and the fact that the
working day starts eurly. And at weekends, it is normal for the Norwegians to
enjoy drinks at home before leaving it late as, 11.00 p.m.
E.
Restaurants tend to be concentrated in city centres, while in
recent years the pub culture has been gradually arriving in Norway. Cities are
nowadays well supplied with a wide choice of bars, many of which offer food
that has a lower price compared to the restaurants. Most villages of any size
have at least one cafe or restaurant where it is possible to drink and eat out.
 Norwegians are generally sincere and
polite, though communication doesn't often come easy — it is usually up to you
to brenk the ice and establish contact. They can be very direct and rarely say
•please', which may seem rude, but it's due to the fact that the Norwegian
language rarely uses the word. On the other hand, they say •thank you' for
almost everything. They also tend to address people by their first name even on
many formal occasions.

G. Norway is expensive country. Ag
labour is costly here, anything that can be seen as a 'service' will generally
be more expensive than you expect. Transport costs can also be a killer,
because the country is large and distances are But there is One good point:
Norwey has high quality of tap water@ so buying bottled drinking water is
usually unnecessary and this will save your budget.

Laughing and evolution
The first hoots of laughter from an
ancient ancestor or humans could be heard at least 10 million years ago,
according to the results of a new study,
Researchers used           recordings Of
apes and babies being tickled  to the last common ancestor that humans
shared with the modern great apes, which include chimpanzees, gorillas and
orangutans.
The finding
challenges the opinion B, suggesting instead that it emerged long before humans
split from the evolutionary path that led to our primate cousins, between 10m
and 16m years

Il

"In humans, laughing can be the strongest way of expressing how much we
are enjoying ourselves, but it can also be used i n other contexts,
like making fun of someone," said Marina Davila a psychologist at
Portsmouth University, "I was interested in C
Davila ROSS travelled to seven zoog around
Europe and visited wildlife reserve in Sabah, Borneo, to record baby and
juvenile apes . Great apes are known •LO make noises
that similar to laughter when they are excited and while they are playing with
each other.
Davila Ross collected recordings of
laughter from 21 chimps, gorillas, orangutans and. bonobos and added recordings
Of three babies that were tickled to make them laugh.
To analyze the
recordings, the team put them into a computer program, "Our evolutionary
tree based on these acoustic recordings alone showed E but furthest from
orangutans, with gorillas somewhere in the middle," said Davila Ross.
"What this shows is strong evidence to suggest F
1.
whether laughing emerged earlier on than humans did
2.
to create the evolutionary tree linking humans and apes
3.
that laughter is uniquely human trait
4.
that humans were closest to chimps and bonobos
5.
that laughing comes from a common  ancestor

Scarcely
had we settled into Reution the Strawberry-pink Villa before my mother decided
that I was running wild, and that it was necessary for me to have some sort of
education. As usual when a problem arose, the entire family flung itself with
enthusiasm into the task of solving it. Each member had his or her own idea of
what was best far me.
Sitting
under the open window in the twilight, I had listened with interest, not
unmixed with indignation, to the family discussion of my fate. Finally my
mother decided that George would be good teacher for me. Now it was settled, I
wondered vaguely who George was, and why it was so necessary for me to have
lessons. But the dusk was thick with flower-scents, and the olive-groves were
dark, mysterious, and fascinating. I forgot about the imminent danger of being
educated, and went off with Roger to hunt for glow-worms in the sprawling
brambles.
Later I
discovered that George was my brother's friend and he had come to Corfu Lo
write. There was nothing very unusual about this, for all Larry's acquaintances
in those days were either authors, poets, or painters.

My new teacher came over to the
villa to discuss my education with Mother, and we were introduced. We regarded
each other with suspicion. George was a very tall and extremely thin man with a
brown beard and a pair of large spectacles. He had deep, melancholy voice, a
dry and sarcastic sense of humor. However, he was not upset by the fact that
there were no school•books available on the island; he simply looked through
his own library und appeared on the appointed day armed with his own selection
of books. He patiently taught me Geography from the maps in the hack of an
ancient copy of Pears Encyclopedia, English from books that ranged from Wilde
to Gibbon, French from the book called "Le Petit Larousse", and
mathematics ffom memory. From my point of view the most important thing was
that we devoted some of our time to naturál history, and George
carefully taught me how to observe and how to note down observations in a
diary. At once my enthusiastic interest in nature became focused, tor I found that
by writing things down I could learn and remember much more. The only morning
that I wag ever on time for my lessons were those which were given up to
natural history,
Every
morning At nine George would come into the little dining-room of the villa, sit
at the table methodically arranging the books. He would droop over the
exercisebook pensively, pulling at his beard. Then in his large, clear writing
he would set the task for me solve.
"If
it took two caterpillars a week to eat eight leaves, how long would four caterpillars
take to eat the same number? Now, apply yourself to that".
While
I was struggling with the apparently insoluble problem 01 the caterpillar
appetites, George was practicing some dancing moves in the hall as at that time
he was engaged in learning some of the local dances, for which he had a
passion. Through all this I would be watching him, fageinated, the
exercise-book lying forgotten in front of me. Mathematics was not one of our
successful subjects.
In
geogruphy we mude better progress, ror George was able to give a more
zoologicål tinge to the lesson. We drew giant maps and then filled in the
various places of interest, together with drawings or the most exciting animals
and birds to be found there.

2)
led an uncontrolled life.
3)
became very angry.
4)
had an unhealthy lifestyle.

How did the "boy's family react to the problem of his
education?
1)  Actively
discussed the situation.
2)  Avoided
any disputes on thig topic, 3) Showed no desire in solving it. 4) Felt
indifferent.

George was I) a teacher.
2)
a dancer.
3)
a writer.
4)
a mathematician.
Orgem:
How did the boy and George feel when they first met?
1)   They treated
the situation with humor.
2)   They were upset
about their studies.
3)
They didn't trust
each other.
4)   They liked each
other very much.

Why did the boy enjoy his lessons of natural history?
1)    He
remembered much more from those lessons.
2)    He got
very interested in the subject.
3)    He
learned how to focus an the lesson. 4) He finally learnt how to write.

The boy couldn't sólve the mathematics problem
because he
l) didn't like to make any effort. 2) was not
interested in caterpillars.
3) refused to do mathematics in
general. was distracted by his teacher's dances.

The
 leSSOns
were t'tiOt•e successful because George knew geography better than

managed to involve the boy's interest in fauna.

Before Christmas
Vicky gave this party every year, just
before Christmas. She _ to do it before the war and she was doing it now, when
the war was over. It was always the same people who came. It struck her
suddenly how clannish they all were, but then the Deravenels in particular were
somewhat addicted to their family. Vicky knew that she could always depend _

not Spanish flu," he had added swiftly, observing the look of apprehension
crossing her face, *'just heavy cold."
Fenella's voice brought her out of her

"How is Charlie feeling?"
"He's
relieved he is safely home, but his wounds still hurt and he feels depressed..

"Mr. Ridgely made a remark to me the

some sort of recreation, talk to other soldiers," said Fenella.

"That's an interesting
idea" Vicky glanced at the others,  a brow.
"Don't you agree?"
"To  the truth, I
do," Stephen answered, always ready to back his wife in her project.
"l think such a place would be quite marvelous for the wounded men who

Referee's perspective

A.       Good footballers have something in
their genesv Scientists have discovered link between the length of a
footballer½i ring finger and their ability as player. They compared the
ring and index fingers of top players. Players whose ring fingers were longer
compared to their index fingers were more likely to be elite players, Some of
the players found to have long ring fingers ure Bryan Robson, Ossie Ardiles,
Glenn Hoddle, Sir Stanley Matthews and
B.       Fitness training is absolutely
necessary for a first-rate football team. Jogging up and down the stadium a few
times is not enoughv What footballers really need is a quick start. Fr»tballers get this ability
t" Start running very quickly by using a training method called
•plyometrics', In the 1960s, athletes in the Soviet Union plyometric exercises
to improve their results in jumping. Step by step, the method has become very
important for many sports that include sprinting and jumping.
C.       In the past, footballers used to huve
g. big tried breakfast or even a roast dinner — before a football match. In the
new era of professional football, the menu of modern players has been radically
reformed. Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger, is known for his scientific method of
feeding his team. When he first came to the club in 1996, he at once changed
the players' dinner menus. Sugar, red meat, chips, fried Toads and dairy
products were out. Vegetables, fish, chicken and plenty of water were

 French
diet specialists heavily criticised the pre-match diet of the England players
in Euro '96. Their menu of tomato soup and spaghetti was said to be more likely
ta produce wind than a win. Potatoes, according to French scientists, make the
best meal on the day of a game. They have glucides, which give the player a lot
of energy. They also include useful vitamins. According to one piece of
research, a player should eat 200—300 grams of mashed potatoes, boiled for 20
minutes, exactly three hours before going to the game.
E. Physics can explain
a football wonder — •the banana kick. This happens when a ball suddenly changes
its direction at the end of its flight. At a certain speed, the air flowing
over a flying ball becomes 'turbulent', This means that the gir moves
irregularly over the ball. As the ball slows down, the air becomes 'smooth'
again. This slowdown makes the ball turn dramatically, creating the wonderful
'banana' kicks that the spectators like so much.
 These
days, footballs are made in a design based on the 'Buckminster Ball'. The
American architect Richard Buckminster Fuller came up with the design when he
was trying to find u way for constructing buildings using a minimum of
materials. The ball is a series of geometrical figures, which can he fitted
together to make a round body. The modern football is in tact a Buckminster
Rall consisting of 32 pieces. When they are joined together and filled with air
they make a perfect sphere.
 Research
has shown that watching the World Cup is good for our health — even if your
team goes out on penalties. The scientigtg suggest that a common interest and a
nationalistic pride are very important. The competition makes people legs
concentrated on their own problems. They are also more patient and can cope
with crises much easier. Watching football can, however, also be disappointmg,
especially when it comes Lo the decisions of referees and officials. Besides,
watching penalties can be very nervous.

Nenets culture affected by global warming
For 1,000 years the
indigenous Nenets people have migrated along the 450-milelong Yamal peninsula
in northern Ruggia. In summer they wander northwards, taking their reindeer
with them. In winter they return southwards,
But this remote
region or north-west Siberia is now being affected by global warming.
Traditionally the Nenets travel across the froezen River 0b in November  around
Nadym. These days, though, this annual winter migration is delayed. Last year
the Nenets, together with many thousands of reindeer, had to wait until late
December B

"Our reindeer
were hungry. There wasn't enough food," Jakov Japtik, a Nenets reindeer
herder, said. "The snow is melting sooner, quicker and faster than before.
In spring it's difficult for the reindeer to pull the sledges. They get tired, Þ
Japtik said.

Herders say that the
peninsula's weather is increasingly unpredictable — with unseasonal snowstorms
C , and milder longer autumns. In winter, temperatures used go down to
•50'C. Now they are normally around •3ŒC, according Lo Japtik.
"Obviously we prefer •30'C. But the changes aren't good for the reindeer
D," he said, setting off on his sledge to round up his reindeer herd.
Even here, in one of the most remote parts of the planet,
E
Last year the
Nenet.s arrived at regular summer camping spot and discovered that half Of
their lake had disappeared. The water had drained away after  landslide.
The Nenets report other curious changes — there are fewer mosquitoes and a
strange increase in flies. Scientists say there is unmistakable evidence

when the ice was finally thick enough to cross
2.
that the impact
on Russia would be disastrous

Hazlitt's Hotel
I took a cab to Hazlitt's Hotel on Frith
Street. I like  because it's intentionally obscure — it
doesn't have a sign or a plaque or anything at All to betray its purpose —
which puts you in a rare position Of strength with your cab driver' Let me say
right now that London cab drivers are without question the finest in the world.
They are trustworthy, safe and honest, generally friendly and always polite.
They keep their vehicles spotless inside and out, and they will put themselves
to the most extraordinary inconvenience to drop you at the front entrance of
your destination. There Are really only a couple of odd things about them. One
is that they cannot drive more than two hundred feet in a straight line. I've
never understood this, but no matter where you are or what the driving
conditions, every two hundred feet a little bell goes off in their heads and
they abruptly lunge down u side street. And when you get to your hotel or
railway station or wherever it is you are going, they like to drive you all the
way around it so that you can see it from all angles before alighting.
The other distinctive thing about them.
and the reason I like to go to Hazlitt's, is that they cannot bear to admit
that they don't know the location of something they feel they ought to know,
like a hotel, which I think is rather sweet. To become a London cab driver you
have Lo master something titled The Knowledge — in effect,
ZilS

learn every street, hospital, hotel, police station, cricket
ground, cemetery and ather notable landmarks in this amazingly vast and
confusing cit3i% It takes years and the cabbies are justifiably proud ot their
achievement. It would kill them to admit that there could exist in central
London a hotel they have never heard of. So what the cabbie does is probe. HC
drives in no particular direction for block Or two, then glances at you in the
mirror and in .arl. overcasual voice says, "Hazlitt's — that's the one on
Curzon Street, innit, guvl' Opposite the Blue Lion?" But the instant he
sees a knowing smile of demurral forming an your lips, he hastily says,
"No, bang on a minute, I'm thinking of the Hazelbury. Yeah, the
Elazelbury. You want Hazlitt's, right?" He'll drive on a bit in a fairly
random direction. "That's this side of Shepherd's Bush, innit,?"
he'll suggest speculatively.
When you tell him that it's on Frith
Street, he          "Yeah, that the one, Course it is. I know it — modern
place, lots of glass".
"Actually, iVs an eighteenth-century brick
building."
*'Course it I know it." And he
immediately executes a dramatic U-turn, causing a passing cyclist to steer into
a lamppost (but that's all right because he hag on cycle clips and one of those
geeky slip stream helmets that all but invite you to knock him over).
"Yeah, you had me thinking of the Hazelbury" the driver adds,
chuckling as if to say it's a lucky thing be sorted that one out for you, and
then lunges down a little side street off the Strand called Running Sore Lane
or Sphincter Passage, which, like so much else in London, you had never noticed
was there before.

A. By now Wimbledon has become a
popular national festival, together with Ascot and the Cup Final. Many people
in Britain don't know that tennis was first played in Wales. It was there, in
1873, that Major Walter Wingfield played u game with the recently invented
rubber balls and enjoyed it so much, that he decided to develop the standards
of the game. He published the first book of tennis rules later that year. The
first Wimbledon championship was held a few years later in 1877 and the British
Lawn Tennis Association formed in 1888.

Good mental preparation is necessary for
professional tennis players. In A long match they can he on the court for
geverúl hours with nobody to talk to. There can be hundreds of stops
from the crowd, their opponent and, especially at Wimbledon, the rain. Players
need to practice methods for improving their concentration and for motivating
themselves when the game is going against them. They are often taught Lo
imagine some situations, such as a tense tie-break, Then they imagine what to
do with it.
Many players find it
impossible to stay calm in the stressful situation of a long tennis match and
let their temper out. John McEnroe was famous for his quarrels with referees.
Several players have been given warnings for throwing the racket or swearing,
Some players lose matches they could easily win because their mind lets them
down. Pat Rafter said that he couldn't breathe in his 2000 Wimbledon final. The
stress of being near the victory can be too much for a person.
D.
The power of today's tennis game is only partly created by the
athletes themselves. Much of it comes from their rackets. New
designs mean players can hit the ball with more speed and accuracy than ever
before. It started in the 1970s when the traditional wooden racket was replaced
with metal, Since then different materials have been used. Graphite has made
the biggest influence. Now the graphite can be mixed with materials such as end
titanium to produce even stronger, and lighter, ruckets.
E.
Speed isn't Always good thing. Many fans are complaining that the
speed of the game is making tennis boring to watch. After two years of testing,
a new ball has now been invented which could slow down tennis and make it more
exciting to watch. The ball is put together in exactly the same way as the one
used now, but is 6% larger in diameter. The bigger ball gives the receiver
100/0 more reaction time in which to return the So the number of aces serves in
a match that the receiver fails to return — will be far fewer.
 When Irishman
Jóhn Boland travelled to Athens for the first modern Olympic Games in
1896, he had no idea he would return home with the gold medal in tennis. But
then, he had no idea he would compete either — he went to watch the competion.
In comparison, today's Olympic tennis players include some Of the best
BAPMAHT

athletes in the world. They are used to
five-star hotels and hundreds of thousands of dollars, but at the Olympic Games
they will stay in the Olympic Village and compete for nothing
but a gold medal.
G. The Wimbledon
tennis tournament is famous for pigeons that sometimes oome flying on to
Centre Court and stop the game. So, producers of a video tennis game designed
for PlayStation2 decided to use specially trained homing pigeons, decorated
with the game's logo. Twenty birds will be spray-painted with the Virtual
Tennis 2 logo and trained to fly in and out of the home of British tennis
during the matches of the Wimbledon championship. The
advertising pigeons will go straight for the fans and show their logos to them.

Lily and I had planned a movie marathon
weekend. I was exhausted from work and she was stressed out from her classes,
so we'd promised to spend the whole weekend parked on her couch and subsist
solely on pizza and crisps. No healthy food. No diet Coke. And absolutely no
strict, official clothes. Even though we talked all the time, we hadn't spent
any real time together since I'd moved to the city.

We'd been friends since the eighth grade, when I first saw Lily crying alone at
a cafeteria table. She'd just moved in with her grandmother und started at our
school in Avon, after it became clear that her parents weren't coming home any
time soon. The day I found her crying alone in the cafeteria was the day her
grandmother had forced her Oto chop Off her dirty dreadlocks and
wear a dress, and Lily was not very happy about it. Something about the way she
talked, the way she said, 'That's so nice of you," and "Let's just
forget about it", charmed me, and we immediately became friends. We'd been
inseparable through the rest of high school, and lived in the same room for all
four years at Brown College. Lily hadn't yet decided whether she preferred
girlish dresses or rough leather jackets, but we complemented each other well.
And I missed her. Because with her first year as a graduate student and my
exhausting work, we hadn't seen a whole lot of euch other lately.
Lily was studying for her Ph.D. in
Russian Literature at Columbia University and working odd jobs every free
second she wasn't studying. Her grandmother barely had enough money to
support herself, and Lily had to pay for the studies on her own. However, she
seemed to be fond of such a way of life. She loved Russian culture ever since
her eighth-grade teacher told her that Lily looked how he had always pictured
Lolita, with her round face and curly black hair. She went directly home and
read Nabokov's "Lolita", and then read everything else Nabokov wrote.
And Tolstoy. And Gogol. And Chekhov. By the time we finished school, she was
applying to Brown College to work with a specific professor who hud a degree in
Russian Literature. On interviewing a seventeen-year-old Lily the professor
declared her one of the most wellread and passionate students of Russian
literature he'd ever She still loved it, still studied Russian grammar and
could read anything in its original.
I couldn't wait for the weekend. My
fourteen•hour workdays were registering in my feet, my upper arms, and my lower
back. Glasses had replaced the contacts I'd worn for a decade because my eyes
were too dry and tired to accept them anymore. I'd begun losing weight already
as I never had time to eat properly, although I wag drinking an enormous amount
of coffee. I'd already weathered a flue infection and

had paled significantly, and it had been only four weeks. I
was only twenty-three years Old. And my boss hadn't even been in the office I
knew I deserved a weekend.
Saturday afternoon found us particularly
motivated, and we managed to saunter round the city center for a few hours. We
each bought some new clothes for the upcoming New Year's party and had a mug of
hot chocolate from a sidewalk café. By the time we made it back to her
apartment, we were exhausted and happy and spent the rest Of the night watching
old movies and eating pizza.

Margaret
Old Margaret was just the kind of cook
that -we Lots of cooks can do rich dishes well. Margaret couldn't. But ghe  to
cook simpleï everyday dishes in a way that made our mouths Her apple•pies
were the best pies I've ever tasted.
But to [69] the truth, even
Margaret sometimes miscalculated. A large, royal-looking Steak would be set
before Father, which, upon being cut into, would turn  to be underdone.
Father's face would darken with disappointment. He would raise his foot and
stamp slowly and heavily three times on the rug.
At this solemn  , we would hear
Margaret leave the kitchen below us und come up the stairs to the dining-room
door.
"Margaret, look at the steak."
Margaret would peer with a shocked look
at the platter. She would then seize the platter and make off with it.
Father and Margaret were •united by the
intense interest they both took in cooking. Each understood the other
instinctively. I have to _l_ that they had a complete fellow-feeling.
Mother's great interest was in babies. She loved her children and her happiness
depended _ them. She wanted to keep Father pleased somehow. and if it wag too
difficult or impossible she didn't always care about even that.

At table it was Father who carved the fowl, or sliced the roast lamb or beef. I
liked ta [$] _ him take the knife and go at it. And usually the cooking
had been as superb as the carving. Sometimes it was so perfect that Father
would summon Margaret and guy in a low voice, *'You are a good cook".

8.. Buses instead ot Cars

A. The world's first
public passenger railway was built in Great Britain in 1826 and ran between the
industrial north-eastern towns af Stockton and Darlington. After 180 years'
experience the British say that their trains still don't seem to run efficiently
or even safely. On average, about 500 accidents with broken rail tracks happen
in the country every year.

The British government is promising to
give £33@5 billion to modernise the railways before 2010. Another
£30 billion is to come Trom the private The main target is to increase
safety and speed. For  new London-to-Scotland high-speed truing
significantly reduce journey times and in 2004 a warning system was installed
throughout the country.
C. Statistics show that only 12% of all
journeys made in Britain are by public transport. The remaining 88% are mude by
car. Every year British people spend about two weeks travelling to and from
work including nine days in their own ears. But anyone will say this isn't a
quick and easy way to travel. In tact, a journey from London to Manchester
frequently takes seven hours. A cyclist could get there quicker.
Every year there are
about half a million traffic jams in Britain. That is nearly 10,000 a week.
There are hundreds of big traffic jams every day. According to the forecast,
the number of jams will grow by 20 per cent over the next ten years, Nearly a
quarter British people find themselves in a jam every day and 55 per cent at
least once weelo
 Nowadays many
British people take their children to schaal by ear. Twenty years ago, nearly
one in three primary school children made their own way to school, Now only one
child in nine makes their own way. During the school year at 08}50 one
ear in five on the roads in any British town is taking children to school. The
solution could be special school buses widely used in the USA.
 Many scientists hope
that new technologies ullowing more people to work at home may help with
traffic Fewer people will work from 9 to 5 and travel to and from work during
the hour. But only 15% of people now want to spend more time working at horne-
The workplace is, for many people, a place to meet other people and to talk to
them, so they would miss it if they worked home.

G.
In 1903, the Wright brothers made the first aeroplane flight. It only lasted 12
seconds but changed the world forever, A century later, air travel is no longer
a miracle, it is part of everyday life. One billion air passangerg now fly
every year — that's equivalent to a sixth of the world's population. To make
sure everything rung smoothly, there are special air traffic control in each
country which watch every aeroplane.

Elephants sense
'danger' clothes
St
Andrews University researchers discovered that elephants could recognise the
degree of danger posed by various groups of individuals.
The study found that
African elephants always reacted with fear  previously worn by men of the Mausai tribe.
They are known
to demonstrate their courage by B
The
elephants also responded aggressively red clothing, which defines traditional
Maasni dress.

However, the elephants showed a much
milder reaction to clothing previously worn by the Katnba people, Cand pose
little threat.

The
researchers first presented elephants with clean, red clothing and with red
clothing that had been worn for five dayg by D

They
revealed that Maasai-smelt clothing motivated elephants to travel significantly
faster in the first minute after they moved away.
They
then investigated whether elephants could also use the colour of clothing as a
cue to classify a potential threat and found the elephants reacted with
aggression  This suggested that they associated the red
with the Maasai.
The researchers believe the distinction in the
elephants' emotional reaction to smell and colour might be explained by FThey
might be able to distinguish among different human groups according to the
level of risk they posed.

Cry-baby
It was almost midnight before they got
around to giving the Oscars to the really well-known personalities. At first
series of guest stars had awarded the prizes: to the best designer, to the best
special-effects man, for the best technical invention for motion pictures
during the year, and to all the other people, so unknown outside the industry,
but so significant within it.
I looked around the theatre, recognizing
most Of the weighty faces in the business, but not caring much. You see, I was
pretty nervous. Myra Caldwell, whom had brought to the ceremony, was sitting
there beside me, and right across the aisle wus Joan Weyland. Now, to get the
picture properly, you have to remember tbHt during that particular year Myra
had played the sensational supporting role in The Devil Loges and had been
called the greatest find in the history of pictures. But that was the same year
that Joan Weyland had stolen a big picture called Calumet Centre right out from
under the nose of one of the most famous female stars in the industry. The only
other actress nominated was not given much chance. Now in a, few minutes, they
were going to announce who had won the Oscar for the Best Supporting Actress of
the year. It was the hottest Contest and everybody was aware of it.
Furthermore, it was no secret that the two leading contestants would be
delighted to boil each other in oil — win, lose, or draw. And here they were
across the aisle from each other. Do you get why I was nervous?

Then the lights went down. They were going to run short scenes from the
pictures for which the actors and actresses had been nominated. The
supporting-actress pictures were coming on, and here was Joan Weyland in her
grand scene from Calumet Centre. The audience started to applaud as soon as
they saw her.
After that they ran a short episode from
Whirlwind, showing the other nominee, a refugee actress called Tanya Braden. I
had never seen the picture of the actress, and the picture hadn't made much
money, but there was no doubt she could act! She played the star's mother and
she made you believe it.
Then they ran Myra's big moment in The
Devil Loses. After it was over, I tried to guess who had the biggest chance.
"I think I won," Myra said to me.
The lights went up. The old actor, who had won the Supporting
Actor award the year before, came through the curtains and prepared to present
the award. I didn't see how I was going to live through the next few minutes.
He got the envelope and began opening it very slowly.
He wag laving every second of it, the old
man. Then he looked at the little piece Of paper.
"The Winner," he said, then
paused again, "is Miss Tanya Braden, for her performance in
Whirlwind."
Well, I'm not too sure about the sequence
of events that followed. I don't remember the applause, because Joan let out a
loud cry from across the aisle that drowned out everything else. Then Myra
started to cry. I don't mean cry like the ordinary person, but I mean cry so
that the building shook.
Then Joan jumped to her feet and started
out, and her mother accompanied her. But I couldn't do anything with Myra. The
show was interrupted and the whole theatre was staring at her. I picked her up
and carried her out.
aAFVIAHT

It wasn't a very
pleasant performance, but I think there is some excuse. After all Joan is 8
years old, and Myra is only 6, and she isn't used to being up so late. I'm a
little on her side anyway. And why not? I'm her father;
At the beginning of the Oscar ceremony

2) had been nominated as two of the Best Supporting Actresses

The narrator describes the relations
between Joan and Myra as

headed downstairs for breakfast. As usual, the whole family was already seated
at the dining table. Liz greeted everyone and sat at a  seat next to her
elder brother Evan. "Pass me the butter, bro," she said.
"Sure," Evan replied and passed it to her. "Thanks," Liz
said, and  a thin layer of it onto her toast. Mrs.
Parker placed an onto her daughter's shoulder;
"Honey, know it's going to be a tiring day for you, and I'd like your
brother to help too. But he's got to head back to school for a daylong band
practice." Liz sat still and didn't utter a that Evun had band practice
and did not need to help in the chores. "I know what you're thinking, Lit.
But honey, we really need your help. Dad's away on a trip, you know, his boss
has sent him. Evan's busy with band practices, and I've got to help your grandma.
You know, her health's been poor these days" "Ok, ok. Enough of it,
mom. I'll clean up the basement," Liz said. Sometimes she wished her
mother wouldn't explain the reasons to her, Anyway, she thought to herself,
it'll good to _ the basement a little. She hadn't stepped into it since they
moved in here a couple of months ago. "Who knows something interesting

will pop out of nowhere," she grinned.

A.
For 150 years America was a British colony. At that time British and American
English were almost exactly the same. When America won the War of Independence
in 1176, it became a free country. The USA was quickly growmg richer, and
millions of Europeans came to settle here. They brought new words and
expressions to the language. As a result, English in America began to develop
in its own way and today, there are certain differences in pronunciation,
grammar, vocabulary and spelling between American and British English.

Typical
American teenagers are in fact very ordinary. They think their teachers make
them work too hard, they love their parents but are sure they don't understand
anything, and their friendships are the most important things in their lives.
Some of them do have a lot of money to spend, but usually they have earned it
themselves. Most young people take jobs while they are in school. They work at
movie theatres, fast-food restaurants, gus stations, and stores pay for their
clothes and entertainment. Maybe this is what makes them so independent from
their parents at such a young age?
C.
Is it possible to
have one device with the functions of TV-set, PC and the Internet? With the
advent of Internet TV it has become a reality. Imagine watching a film on TV
and getting information on the actors in the film at the same time: To enter
web-addresses and write e-mails you use u remote control and an on-screen
keyboard or an optional wireless keyboard. By clicking a button, you can also
read adverts, 'chat' with a friend, plan your holiday and play your favourite
video games. And in the future you'll be able to change the plot of the film
you are watching!
D.
When do you stop
being a child and become an adult? There are lots of laws about the age when
you can start doing things. In Britain, for ex•atnplet you can get married at
16, but you cannot get a tattoo until you are 18. In most American states you
eun have a driving licence at 17, but you cannot drink until you are 21. In
Russia you can be put in prison when you are 16, but you cannot vote until you
are 18. In fact, most European countries and the US have the game age for
voting: 18. Many people, however, think that this is unfair. They would like to
vote at an earlier age.
E.
Blue jeans were a
byproduct of the Gold Rush. The man who invented jeans, Levi Strauss, emigrated
from Germany to San Pruneiseo in 1850. Levi was 20 years old, und he decided to
sell clothes to the miners who were in California in search of gold. When he
was told that durable trousers were the most needed item of clothing, Levi
began making jeans of heavy tent eunvag. Levi's jeans were an immediate Soon he
switched from canvas to n cotton fabric which came from Mmes, a city in France.
The miners called it 'denim' and bought a lot of trousers from Strauss.

F.
Some fifty years ago people hadn't even heard of computers, and
today we cannot imagine our life without them. Computer technology is now the
fastest-growing industry in the world. The first computer was the size of a
minibus and weighed a ton. Today, its job can be done by a chip the size of
pinhead. And the revolution is still going on. Very soon we'll have computers
that we'll wear on our wrists or even in our glasses and car-rings. Such
wearable computers are now being developed in the USA.
Some
American words are simply unknown on the other side of the Atlantic, and vice
versa. But a lot of words exist in both variants, and these can cause trouble.
British visitors to America are often surprised at the different meanings that
familiar words have acquired there. If an Englishman asks in an American store
for a vest, he will be offered a waistcoat. Ii he wants to buy a handbag for
his wife, he should ask for a purse, and if she wants to buy pair of tights,
she should ask for pantyhose: tights in America are what ballet dancers wear.

A Gifted
Cook
If there is a gene for cuisine, Gabe, my Il-year-old son,
could splice it to perfection. Somewhere between Greenwich Village, where he
was born, and the San Francisco Bay area, where he has grown up, the little kid
with the stubborn disposition and freckles on his nose has forsaken Boy Scouts
and baseball in favor of wielding a kitchen knife.

I suppose he is a member of the Emeril generation. Gabe has spent his formative
years shopping ut the Berkeley Bowl, where over half a dozen varieties of
Thanksgiving yams, in lesser mortals, can instill emotional paralysis. He is
blessed with critical eye. "I think Emeril is really cheesy," he
observed the other night while watching a puff pastry segmenth "He makes
the stupidest jokes, But he cooks really well."
With its manifold indigenous cultures,
Oaxaca seemed the perfect place to push boundaries. Like the mole sauces for
which it is justly famous, the region itself is a subtle blend Of ingredients —
from dusty Zapotec villages where Spanish is a second language to the zocalo in
colonial Oaxaca, sophisticated town square brimming with street life and
vendors selling twisty, one-story-tall balloons.
Appealing to Gabe's inner Iron Chef
seemed like an indirect way to introduce him to u place where the artful
approach to life presides. There wag also a selfish motive: Gabe is my soul
mate, a fellow food wanderer who is not above embracing insanity to follow his
appetite wherever it leads.
Months ahead of time, we enrolled via the
Internet in the daylong Wednesday cooking class at Seasons of My Heart, the
chef and cookbook author Susana Trilling's cooking school in the Elta Valley,
about 45-minute drive north to town. In her cookbook and PBS series of the same
name, Ms. Trilling, an American whose maternal grandparents were Mexican, calls
Oaxaca "the land of no waste" where cooking techniques in gotne
ancient villages have endured for a thousand years.
I suspected that the very notion of what
constitutes food in Oaxaca would test Gabe's mettle. At the suggestion of
Jacob, his older brother, we spent our second night in Mexico at a Oaxaca
Guerrero baseball game, where instead of peanuts and Cracker Jack, vendors
hawked huge trays piled high with chapulines, fried grasshoppers cooked in
chili and lime, a local delicacy. Gube wag bug-eyed as he watched the man next
to him snack on exoskeletal munchies in a paper bowl. "It's probably less
grogs than a hot dog," he admitted, "But on the rim or the bowl I saw
a bunch of legs and served body parts. That's revolting!"

Our cooking day began at
the Wednesday market in Etla, shopping for ingredients and sampling as we On
the way in the Gabe had made friends with Cindy and Fred Beams, fellow
classmates from Bostonl sharing opinions about Caesar salad and bemoaning
his brother's preference for plain pizza instead of Hawaiiaru Cindy told
Gabe about a. delicious sauce she'd just had on her omelet at her B & B.
"It was the best sauce — to die for," she
said. "Then I found out the provenance, Roasted
The Oaxacan taste for insects, we'd learn      including the
worm salt spied at the supermarket and the "basket of fried locusts"
at a nearby restaurant — was source of protein dating back to pre-Hispanic
times.
When our cooking class
was over I saw a flicker of regret in his face, as though he sensed the world's
infinite variety and possibilities in all the dishes he didn't learn to cook.
"Mom", he said plaintively, surveying the sensual offerings af the
table„ "Can we make everything when we get home?" mother
thinks that he is
1)  lazy.       3) selfish.
2)  determined@          thoughtful.
OTBe•rt
Gabe is supposed to represent the Emeril
generation because he
I) is fond of criticizing others, 2)
feels happy being alone.

3) is interested in cooking.
is good at making jokes@
 The narrator wanted to take Gabe to
Oaxaca because
1)
he could speak Spanish.
2)
there are a lot
of entertainments for children there, 3) he knew a lot         local cultures.
4) he was the best to keep her company.
Gube was
struck when he
I) was told that local cooking
techniques were a thousand years old. 2) saw the man next to him eat insects.
did not find any
dish to satisfy his appetite„ understood that hot dog was less gross
than a, local delicacy.
The Oaxacan people eat insects because this
kind of food
I) tastes pleasant.
2)
is easy to
3)
contains an essential nutritional element. 4) helps to cure many
diseases.

At the end of the class Gabe felt regret
because
1) there were Jot of dishes he could not
make on his own. the dishes he made were not tasty.
3)
he did not want to go back home.
4)
he had not managed to master all the dishes he liked.

A school group on skiing holiday to Italy

 A teenager from
London is making news around the world. On his recent holiday in Australia he
set off without his mobile phone. Experts are amazed that he is still alive

D. You can buy almost anything, new or second hand, on the
internet. On one site you can offer the price you want to pay for something.
Whoever offers the highest price buy that item. Recently I made the highest
offer for a nearly new pair of skis. However, I only paid half of what they
would have cost. new in a shop. Making new friends on the internet makes
so much sense. You can see someone's photo and read if they share your
interests and opinions. The important thing is you can spend time getting to
know people who ure attractive to you and looking for the same things in life
that you are. Still, for personal safety, most sites recommend that in person
you meet initially in a public place like a café or  gullet'ÿ.

 I like eating out
but some restaurants have huge menus. And usually every item sounds mouth
watering. The trouble is I like to read about everything on offer and sometimes
waiters wait for me rather than on met The other issue is how they can offer so
much whilst maintaining quality? lt d rather take one of five
options knowing that each one was brilliant.
G. "Facebook" is a social

phenomena of recent years.

Avoidance activity

I am in Birmingham, sitting in a café oppoeite a hairdresser's. I'm
trying to find the courage to go in and book an appointment, I've been here
three quarters of an hour and am on my second large cappuccino. The table I'm
sitting at has a wobble, so I've spilt some of the first cup and most of the
second down the white trousers I was so proud of as I swanked in front of the
mirror in my hotel room this morning. I can see the hairdressers or stylists as
they prefer to be called, as they work. There is a man with a ponytail who is
perambulating around the salon, stopping now and then to frown and grab a bank
of customer's hair. There are two girl stylists: one has had her white
blonde hair shaved and then allowed it explode into hundreds of hedgehog's
quills; the other has hair any self-respecting woman would scalp for: thick and
lustrous. All three are dressed in severe black. Even undertakers allow
themselves to wear a little white on the neck and cuffs, but undertakers don't
take their work half as seriously, and there lies the problem. I am afraid of
hairdressers.
When I
sit in front of the salon mirror stuttering and blushing, and saying that
I don't know what I want, know I am the
client from hell. Nobody is going to win Stylist of the year with me as a model,
'Madam's hair is very
th ...',they begin to say 'thin', think better of it and change it for
'finè'—ultimately, coming out with the hybrid word 'thine'. I have been
told my hair is 'thine• many times. Are they
taught to use it at college? Along with other conversational openings,
depending on the season: 'Done your Christmas shopping?' 'Going away for
Easter?' $Booked your summer holiday?' 'You are brown, been way?' 'Nights are
drawing in, aren't they?' 'Going away for Christmas?'  am hopeless at small
talk (and big talk). I'm also averse to looking at my face in a mirror for an
hour and a half. I behuve as though I am a prisoner on the run.
I've looked at wigs in
stores, but I am too shy to try them on, and I still remember the horror of
watching a bewigged man jump into a swimming pool and then geeing what looked
like a medium sized rodent break the surface and flout on the water, He
snatched at his wig, thrust it anyhow on top of his head and left the pool. I
didn't see him for the rest of the holiday.

There is behavior trait that a lat of
writers share—it is called avoidance activity. They will do anything io avoid
starting to write: clean a drain, phone their mentally confused uncle in Peru,
change the cat's litter trayT I'm prone to this myself, in summer I
deadhead flowers, even lobelia. In winter I'll keep a. fire going stick by
stick, anything to put the moment of scratching marks on virgin paper,
I am indulging an avoidance activity now.
I've just ordered another cappuccino, given myself a sever
talking; For God's sake, woman} You are forty-seven years of age. Just cross
the road, push the salon door open, and ask for an appointment!
It didn't work@ I'm now in my room, and I
have just given myself a do-it-yourself hairdo, which consisted of a shampoo,
condition and trim, with scissors on my Swiss army knife,
I can't wait to get back Lo the Toni &
Guy salon in Leicester. The staff there haven't once called my hair i thinet
and they can do wonders with the savagery caused by Swiss arrny knife
scissors.
The narrator was afraid to enter the hairdresser's because she
1) had spilt coffee on her white trousers, 2) doubted
the qualification of local stylists.

3) was strangely self-conscious. 4) was pressed for time.
Watching the stylists, the narrator concluded that
they 1) were too impulsive.
2)
had hair anyone would envy.
3)
had strange hair-dos themselves.
attached too much importane.e to their
Orgem:
The narrator calls herself 'the client from hell' mainly
because she
l) doesn't like to 100k at herself in the mirror.
2) never knows what she wants. 3) is too impatient to
sit st,ilL 4) is too demanding.
OTBeyr't
The narrator doesn't like stylists as they
1)    are too
predictable in their conversetion.
2)    have once
suggested that she should try a wig.
3)    are too
insensitive to clients 4) are too talkativÐ@
OrneT:

According to the narrator the avoidance activity is
1)
common to all
writers,
2)   mostly
performed in winter.
3)
talking to
oneself@
4)   a trick to
postpone the beginning 0t work..
The narrator finally
1)
talked herself into going and fixing an appointment.
2)
got her hair done
at a hotel@
3)
eut her hair after shampooing it. 4) spoilt her hair completely„
OTBe•r:
The last paragraph means that the Toni & Guy sglon in
Leicester ig the
1) only hairdresser's she has ever risked going to, 2)
salon she trusts and is not afraid to go to,
3) place where she is a special client. 4) the first
place she has ever tried.

Mobile phones use 'radio waves • Lo send signals. Since the
1920s, scientists have known that radio waves can cause the heating of the skin
and influence the nervous system. But mobile phones don't produce many radio
waves. Still children should be especially careful about mobile phone use
because their nervous system may be hurt. Children should only use mobiles for
short calls.
B.
It is known that the strength of radio wave radiation decreases
with distance, It suggests that hands-free sets may be effective in avoiding
all the dangers of mobile phones. But another study described an increase in
radiation that reached the of a hands-free set. It says that the
cable of the hands-free set acted as an antenna, directing more radio waves
into the user's ear'

The new technology sends a code to a mobile phone in a text message, which
passengers can then scan at the station ticket barrier. It's hoped the method
will make buying tickets easier for passengers and help fight against queues at
stations.
D, Many parents now use mobiles to control their children's
behaviour, It gives parents peace of mind and makes young people feel
protected. Parents say that young people are safer with mobiles than without
them. But, while parents said they liked to call their children on the mobile
to actually hear their voice, young people liked to send text messages to
parents.
E.
A research showed that those young people who have a mobile feel
more independent and often use it to plan meetings both relatives and peers. In
particular, young people often use mobiles to ask their parents if they can
come home later. The study showed that girls more often text parents to let
them know they were safe than boys. They also use text messaging for
socializing purposes.
F.
It is not only parents who want to connect with young people
through mobile technologies. Nowadays politicians and different organizations
look for wnys to use text messaging as channel for communication with the
young. In late 2004, the UK government offered people the opportunity to 'text
Tony'. People were invited to send a text question to the prime minister to be
answered as part of a 'mobile chat'.
G.
The popularity of text messages led to the development of a
speciál system of words or 'chat speak'. For example, acronyms, that are
words made from the first letters of other words, are often used both in online
chatrooms and text messages sent to your mobile phone. This 'chat speak' is
very popular with children who are fast at texting. Parents might be interested
to know that 'PAW' means 'parents are watching'!

Cat's
punctuality
Sergeant
Podge, a Norwegian Forest Cat, disappears from his owner's home in a small
town in Kent, every night. But what baffles his owner, Liz Bullard, mostly is
the fact that the next morning, the 12-year-old cat always pops up in exactly
the same place, AAnd every morning Ms. Bullard takes her son to school before
collecting Sergeant Podge.
She said that the

Ms. Bullard spent hours telephoning her neighbours B
An elderly woman living
about one and a half miles away called back to inform Ms. Bullard that she had

Ms. Bullard said:

for Sergeant Podge to jump in.
Ms. Bullard also makes the trip at
weekends and during school holidays

So far there are only two ways to get
into space — you either have to be an astronaut or very rich. Countries such as
Russia and the USA have space programs, but you need to be highly qualified and
very determined if you want to become an astronaut. Only a few of the thousands
of applicants make it through the training and selection program,
Alternatively, if you have the money and are fit enough, you may be able to buy
a place on the space journey, as the US millionaire, Mike Melwill did in 2004.
But soon there may be another way.
Asif Mahsood is a 14-year old
Pakistani with big plans. He dreams of getting a job in space, but hopes he
doesn't need to become an astronaut. And the idea is not so fantastic. Many
experts believe that the travel industry will be revolutionized during the next
decades by the development of space holidays.
Most people know about the space
stations that ure Already circling the Earth. They are used for research and
are operated by professional astronauts. But soon a space station could be
built for commercial purposes. A holiday in space would not be cheap, but there
are probably already plenty of people who would be prepared to pay.

This is where Asif's dream comes
in. He wants to be the manager of the world's first orbiting hotel. It is
likely that rocket ships will provide the transport. They could be launched
from the Earth's surface, or even trom a carrier aircraft high in the
atmosphere. The space hotel will he designed with a landing platform for the
rocket ship. The passengers could then move into the hotel through a large tube
connected to the hotel entrance. This would be necessary because there is no
gravity in space. However, inside the space hotel there would need to be system
creating artificial gravity, so that guests could move around normally.
Naturally, if hotels are built m
space, there will also be new jobs in space. Guests will need all the normal
services found in a hotel on Earth, but there will also be some new
possibilities. For example, all sorts or recreation activities could be designed
to take advantage of the zero gravity conditions in space. Being Able to float
ground a room, bounce off the walls and ceiling would be very Attractive for
tourists looking for a new experience. Games of three-dimensional football,
basketball or volleyball would certainly be very interesting. The hotel would
also have telescopes to look out at the universe, and to look back at the Earth
below.
A space hotel will need to have other
facilities that are not necessary in normal hotels. It would be more like a
small city in some ways, with its own hospital, communication system, police
force and Tire department.
In the meantime, Asif is gomg to keep
studying hurd at gehool so that he can find  job working in one of the big
International hotels in Lahore or Karachi. He wants to qualify in hotel
management and continue to study business administration. The hotels are much
the same, so Asif believes that the best preparation for a job in space will be
gaining plenty of experience working in Earth hotels.
The whole idea of hotels in space may
sound a little like science fiction, but 30 years ago technology such as mobile
video phones and the Internet seemed to be just a crazy dream, whereas today
they are a normal part of everyday life, and it is hard to imagine our world
without them.
Who is Mike
Melwill?
1)  The
founder of a new space program.
2)  An
American scientist.
3)  A
highly-qualified astronaut.
4)
A man who paid
for a space travel.

Asif's final aim is to
1)
become an
astronaut.
2)  go
an a space holiday.
3)  'be
a hotel manager in Pakistan. 4) work in a new type of a hotel.

What will be new in the operations of space stations in the
future?
Scientific research will be performed on
them.
2)
They will be used for training professional astronauts.
3)

They will be used for making money. They will be less expensive.
In space hotels, a large tube will be necessary for
1)
creating
artificial gravity.
2)   connecting the
hotel to the landing area.
3)   linking hotels
with the Earth. 4) launching the rocket ships.

Which of the following is NOT described as possible
entertainment in space hotels?
1)  Walks
in the open space.
2)  Jumping
on the ceiling.
3)  Watching
the Earth through a telescope. 4) Playing extra dimensional volley-ball.

Space hotels will require
l) exactly the same services and facilities as normal hotels.
2) absolutely different services and facilities than normal hotels. 3) more
services and facilities than normal hotels.  less services and
facilities than normal hotels.
Orgem:
El

The author argues that
1)   many things
that used to be science fiction exist nowadays.
2)   rich people
should finance the space exploration. 3) space hotels are just a crazy dream.
it's
already hard to imagine our world without space travelling..

Father Feels Starved
In the summers, when we went to the
country, we usually hired g temporary cook to go with us, so that Margaret
could stay in town.. We hated to leave but the idea was that somebody must stay
to  of the house.
But this didn't work
well. No matter how few the  faults were, Father had no patience with
them, One summer, I remember, there was nice woman Delia who got on well with
Mother because she was so obliging and pleasant, but who didn't Father at all.

This didn't sound unreasonable, but to _ the truth, Delia cooked well enough
for the rest of us. Mother tried no attention to Father's grumbling. At
breakfast Father would put down his coffee cup in disgust and roar; "Does
she call this confounded mess coffee? Take it awayt" And while Mother and
Delia were frantically making a fresh pot, he would eat all of his omelet and
bacon, and then declare that he was starved.
The longer Delia stayed with us, the more
alarmed Father became. He ate heartily, but he said he didn't feel nourished,
At last Mother had to  that it was impossible to go on like

Speaker A

If you ask me, I think fashion is kind of unnatural. I mean who careg About
tiny details like pockets here or pockets there. I believe clothes should serve
their purpose. When it's hot, they shouldn't be too warm and when it's cold
they should keep you warm and protect you from winds when it's necessary. I'd
never buy a coat or a jacket just because they're said to be fashionable now —
to buy an item of clothing I must feel comfortable in it.
Speaker B  argue with my
parents all the time — just really all the time — because they say I've got
loads of clothes which in their opinion I never wear. They just don't
understand it — I do need all these clothes. I may spend too much time in the
morning choosing what to put on — okay, I admit that. To be perfectly frank, I
must also admit that sometimes I forget what I have in my wardrobe. But it's
great having u choice, My parents just don't get it.
Speaker C
From time to time I may switch on a
fashion channel or look through a beauty magazine. My elder sister is a
shopping consultant and she tells me about the hottest trends when I ask her
to. She helps people create their own style in clothes and she says that
clothes are fashionable only if they become you. You must consider your style,
your looks and figure when you want to buy something new because otherwise you
won't look good.
Speaker D
It's not that I'm really a passionate
follower ot fashion — no, nobody would say that about me. But I spend a lot of
time in clothing shops and I do care about what

 put on each day and I never wear the
same outfit two days a week. I look through fashion magazines Lo find out the
latest trends. I do all those things just because I feel it's a sign of respect
for yourself and the people ground you when you pay attention to your clothes
and looks.
Speaker E
I think when people talk about fashion
they often mean street fashion — what people wear every day. I don't think it's
true fashion. It's more like a kind of hysteria — she has such a dress — I wunt
such a dress too. Real fashion is top fashion, runways and limelight. famous
designers like D&G and big brands. These clothes are expensive and anyway
you won't put them on when you go to work and they are impractical — they are
just beautiful,
Speaker F
Fashion? I never waste my time thinking
about it. I have so much to do for my studies tbAt I simply put on whatever I
find in my wardrobe — usually it's a pair of jeans and a T-shirt. I never go to
clothes shops — my mom knows my size and she buys me what she thinks I need. I
trust her taste and I believe ghe knows best really. I'm too practical and
down-to-earth a person to think about matching colors or stuff like that so I
just don't care about. it.

is Saturday.
Jane: My week wasn't so tiring.
Michael: That's because you love what you
are doing. You know I have entered this place just because my parents wanted me
to. sometimes think I hate every minute I spend heret
Jane: So, Saturday. We could have some
fun. I have plans for the evening but my morning and afternoon are totally
free. Any ideas?

Michael; How about a
film? They are showing a new blockbuster at the movie theater. You know, the
one starring Michael Douglas.
Jane: A film? During the day?
Michael: Yes, why not?
Jane: Well, I don't know I prefer watching
films in the evening really.
Michael: Okay. Well, why
don't we go to the sports centre then? We can go swimming; they have opened the
swimming pool after the renovation. It must be fantastic:
Jane: There are always
lots of children in the pool on Saturdays. Besides, I don't like swimming very
much.
Michael: You are so

this offer:
Jane: Yes, I definitely like shopping more
than swimmingt
Michael: I,nnk how
enthusiastic you are now! Okay, where shall we go? There's that new shopping
centre in Bath. The ads look inviting.
Janet Shopping in new
mall! That does sound like fun. And what about the shops in Clifton? Oh, wait,
no, I've forgotten that the Shops are more expensive there.
Michael: Yeah, I was
going to say that too, and besides Clifton's very crowded on the weekend. If we
come across something we like, we'll spend half the evening in line at the
checkout.
Jane: All right, all right, we'll go to Bath then.
Michael: 1 think the new
shopping centre in Bath must have a good restaurant. Let's go to the shopping
centre in the morning and then we can have lunch there.
Jane: Okay, that sounds like a good idea.

Presenter: Good evening.
Tonight we've got the famous film critic Mariela Smith with us to talk about
her favorite films from the last ten years. How do you do, Mariela. We've
missed you.
Mariela Smith: Hello, everybody. It's a
pleasure being here again.
Presenter: Thank you. So,
Mariela, what do you think is the hest film of the last ten years?
Mariela Smith: Some
people find it a difficult question, you know. The choice is enormous and it
depends on our current mood as well. Well, there's absolutely no
-rwr10BblE
3K3AMEHAUß•10HHb.lE BAPVIAHTk1
competition for I know a lot of people think it was
'Gladiator', but for me the best film in the last ten years was 'American
Beauty' — it was so different, with unexpected twists of the plot, very
clever; and it had the best acting, think though some actors
were newcomers to the cinema world. It was the most unusual film in the last
ten years.
Presenter: so, no vote for *Gladiator' from you?
Mariela Smith: Oh, I think •Gladiator' was really good. It was
definitely the most exciting film, but it's just not my favorite. It wag just
normal, ordinary. There's no mystery here behind the screen which is I think an
essential far a truly good film.
Presenter: Were there any surprises for you in the last ten years?
Mariela Smith: Surprises well, yes. I
think the biggest. surprise 'The Sixth Sense' — it was a fantastic film from an
unknown director. No one expected it. I think it's also the scariest film in
the last ten years, When you watch it and imagine it happening — just the very
thought that it might be possible — it makes my heart jump.
Presenter: What about. foreign language films? Any good
ones there?
Marie/a Smitht Well, lots, of course, lots
of films are worth mentioning but the one that I believe was begi was *All about
my Mother', by Pedro Almodovar, It was a lovely film, very sad, but the most
interesting foreign language film of the ten years. It has a peculiar mixture
Of positive and negative feelings, joys and sorrows — there's everything in
this film. Everybody can find something in it which will touch upon their
soul.

Presenter: Mmm, I liked that one too. You don't like violent films, do you?
Mariela Smith: No, I don't like such films
in general, but there's one violent film that I'd like to talk
about — 'Pulp Fiction'. That was very violent in my opinion, possibly the mast
violent film of the ten years, but it was so good — it was definitely the best
mixture of action and comedy at the time. And John Travolta was really fantastic
as a villain — it's not usually the kind of part he plays, but he played the
bad guy so well in this one. Everybody knows how gifted he is as an actor but
this film revealed another aspect of his talent. Thig was a surprise.

cast. Put other actors there — and you'd probably get a complete flop.

Now we are ready co start. Speaker A

Like many children in my country, I first learned the value of money by getting
an allowance. My parents thought it was really important that children should
learn about money at an age when possible financial mistakes are not very
costly for them, And do you know what? I never wasted a single penny on silly
things like sweets and chocolate bars — I used to buy books and magazines
instead. Having pocket money made me financially wise.
Speaker B
Some of my classmates get a lot of pocket
money. I guess just how much money parents give their kids differs from family
to family. I used Lo get a small weekly allowance and my parents made it very
clear what, if anything, I was expected to use that money for. If I really
needed something, like maybe new trainers or anything else, my parents  for
me without saying a word. But things like snacks, tickets to the cinema and so
on — that's what pocket money is for.
Speaker C
I got my first allowance at the age of 7
and I spent every penny as soon as I got it. So you I learned the hard way that
spending money should be done within a budget. My parents never offered me more
money between allowances. I soon understood that having a budget means making
choices about whether to spend or to save. When I got older, I became
responsible enough to save money for larger purchases, like clothing and
electronics. So my parents taught me a good lesson.
Speaker D
Some of my classmates get pocket money for
helping About the house. That's not the case with me. My parents guy these jobs
are a normal part of family life. If I do routine work I don't get paid.
However, my parents do pay me to do extra work around the house, like painting
the fence and things like that. My parents think this can help me understand
how a business works. I don't know though. As for me, I prefer a regular
monthly allowance.

Speaker E
I can't imagine life if I didn't get
pocket money. Some people say an allowance can turn kids into spoilt brats, but
luckily my parents don't share this opinion. There are a lot of good things one
can do with pocket money, like sharing it in the farm of gifts or giving it to
a good cause. Or I can spend it buying things want. And, of course, there's a
third option: I can save and maybe even invest it — but this I have never
managed to do, honestly.
Speaker F
When my parents gave me my weekly pocket
money, they always used to talk to me about the importance of saving. They used
to tell me that if I had an expensive goal, I had to cut costs and plan for the
future. Then I read about banks offering services to help children and
teenagers learn about personal finance, so I opened an account. At first, it
didn't seem like a lot, but over time it added up and now I can pay for my
gap year and first year at college.

thrilled to be here.
What's wrong? You can tell met
Jack: Never mind, Tracy. It's just a slight headache,
that's all. I'll be fine.
Tracy: It seems to me you never feel well
when museums are on the schedule. Aren't you enjoying the exhibition? Just
take it easy, relax: After all, it's your first time visiting the National
Museum of American Art.
Jack: I would if could, believe me. It's
just annoying when you can't have fun doing something.
Tracy: Fun? You're kidding, right?
Museums are educational establishments for advancing our knowledge. You're not
expected to have fun like at a dog show or flower exhibit.
           Jack: Oh, come on, this is boring! How              longer
        we going to stay here?
Tracy: Hang in there. I promise, it'll get
interesting. Look at that lovely portrait, for instance.

Jack: Okay, it's not bad.
It looks like it must be from the 19th century. So, I guess you like realism?
Tracy: Actually, don't.
But I enjoy looking at the hairstyles and dress designs from the past and
they're best shown in realist paintings. I'm really into fashion, as you know.
Jack: Well, prefer
pictures that are true to life, where even" leaf and every flower is
depicted exactly as it really is.
Tracy: Like in still life paintings?
Jack: Well, yes. If have to look at art,
I'd rather see that kind of picture.
Tracy: Then look over
there, there's a good one. Flowers in vase, watermelons, grapes, cherries. Yum!
It makes my mouth water.
Jack: Now that you
mention food, I could do with a snack right now. I haven't had anything to eat
since morning and I'm starving.
Tracy: I'm sure there's a
caff on the ground floor. Why don't we get a bite to eat and then return to the
gallery?
Jack: Agreed. Anri if we
have to go back, l t d love to see some landscapes. They're
inspiringl
Tracy: Especially the
romantic ones. The dramatic contrasts in romantic landscapes are unbelievable.
I'm glad you're finally beginning to feel more enthusiastic about
museums.

missed the point. The sooner we begin, the sooner we finish. Let's go eat
something.

Reporter: Hello,
everybody, here we are with our weekly program about education in America.
Today we're looking at international students attending colleges and
universities in the USA. Here's our expert, Jane Brown — an aide to the
president or the Institute of International Education.
Jane Brown:
Good afternoon.
Reporter: So, Jane, how many international students
are coming Lo the States to study?
Jane Brown: A new report
says there are more and mCjre of them. In particular, it notes a large increase
in the number of international students from China. These findings are from the
latest edition of the Open Doors Report, which is a joint project
runoBblË
3',aAMËHAUMOHHblE 8APVIAHTbl
of the State Department and the Institute of International
Education, non-profit educational and training organization. It documents the
record number of international students in the United States during the
2011—2012 school year. It says that more than 750,000 international students
were attending American colleges and universities during that period. That
represents an increase of almost 6%, compared to one year earlier.
Reporter: What about Americans? Are they
also studying abroad in bigger nurnbers? Jane Brown: Well, by comparison,
number Of Americans Studying overseas increased by just
Reporter: You say many international students in America
come from China.
Jane Brown: The report says about 200,000
students at American colleges and universities were front China. That is an
increase of more than 23% over the year before. That was the highest level
ever, and it really showed in the figures. It also means that international
undergraduate enrollment was higher than graduate enrollment.
Reporter: Do you have any explanation for this trend?
Jane Brown: Many Chinese families can pay
for the highest quality education for their children. We know many or them have
enough income to afford to send their children anywhere in the world. And, for
the most part, with all the options they have, Chinese students still choose
the United States as their destination of choice.
Reporter: Good for usl Any other
interesting facts about the statistics of international education in America?

Jane Brown: Chinese students are not the only ones attending American colleges
and universities in large numbers. After China, India sends the second largest
number of students to the United States for higher education, and South Korea
is the third with about 80,000 students.
Reporter; So why do so many foreign
students want to study in the United States? Jane Brown: I believe the
advantage America has is that we have a very diverse system. At the same time,
there are over 4,000 universities and colleges in the United States, and what
that tells us ig that there is a lot of room to host international students,
The numbers I've just provided you with may seem huge, but actually foreign
students represent less than 4% of the total student population in American
higher education.
Reporter; Does this mean there is still a lot of room
for international students to come to us?
Jane Brown: Exactly'
Reporter: Thank you, Jane.

Now we are ready to start.
Speaker A

What's my favorite holiday? I know this may sound sta•ange, but I love Easter.
My family isn't very religious, but I am aware of which Easter traditions are
connected with the Bible. For example, there's the tradition of painting eggs
and giving them to other people as a symbol of eternal life, but few people
actually do this anymore. Instead, they buy chocolate eggs, and adore chocolate
— sweets are my true passion. And that's why I love Easter!
Speaker B
My friends say too often that I laugh too
much and I agree. That's why I enjoy April Fools Day so much. You may know it
takes place every year on April 1st and on this day you never really know if
someone is trying to pull your leg. And it'S important that even if someone
tries to fool you, you don't lose your temper. Otherwise, people may suspect
you of the worst possible sin — a bad sense of humor. No one has ever accused
me of that!
Speaker C
As a girl, I always enjoy celebrating
Women's Day on March 8th most of all. This is the day for paying tribute to all
women — and, first Of all, your mothers and grandmothers. In some places this
day is called Mother's Day and it, Loot is celebrated in spring. Men give women
flowers and presents and they do all the domestic work around the house and in
the kitchen. For women, it's a relaxing break from domestic routines — a nice
change and a chance to rest!
Speaker D
Some people love New Year's Eve, but I
adore Christmas. The holiday is connected with the birth of Jesus Christ as
told in the Holy Bible. When Jesus was born, wise men from the East came to
worship him and they gave the child presents. That's why

people nowadays try to please their friends and relatives by
giving Christmas presents. It's a very sincere holiday and I think
everyone feels a bit kinder and more generous ort        day,
Speaker E
I think New Year is especially popular
with children. In many houses there's fir End other
decorations. Families get together to welcome in the new year — a truly magical
moment. You can start your life anew if you want to — make resolutions, talk
about plans and promises, or share your most secret thoughts; if you do these
things, probably your wishes will come true — at least I like to think so. On
that day anything can happen — so give it a try!
Speaker F
In my country it's not celebrated, but
I've always thought Thanksgiving is a great tradition. It has an interesting
legend behind it in 1621 the first pilgrims in America were dying of hunger,
but neighbormg Native Americans helped them survive. On this day everyone has
the chance to say $thank you' for everything good that has happened in their
lives durmg the year. So although it's not my national holiday, on that day I
do it in secret because I'm thankful to God.

Presenter: Hello,
everybody, and welcome to our weekly program for parents. Every week we invite
experts to talk about the burning issues that parents have when bringing up
their children. Today's expert is Lora Johns.
Lora Johns; Good afternoon.
Presenter: Lora, what exactly are you
going to talk about today?
Lora Johns: Today I'd like to talk about
kids and pocket money.
Presenter: That's definitely an important
topic for our listeners!
Lora Johns: Many
children first learn the value of money by receivmg an allowance. The idea is
to let children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not
very costly,
•rgn0BEdE OK3AMËHAUVIOHHb1E BAPk1AHTb1

Presenter: Sounds wise. So, how much
money do parents usually give to their kids? Lora Johns: The amount of money
that parents give to their children differs from family to family. Timmg is
another consideration. Same children get a weekly allowance, others get a
monthly allowance; any regular time period is OK. What's important is that
parents should make clear what, if anything, the child is expected to buy with
the money.
Presenter: Is that so important?
Lora Johns: It's crucial! At first, young
children often spend all of their allowance too quickly after they receive it.
If they do thist they learn hard way that they need to have a personal budget.
When I work with parents, I always advise that they not give their kids any
more money until the next allowance. The object is to show young people that a
budget demands choices between spending and saving' Older children
should be responsible enough to save money for larger costs, like clothing or
electronics.
Presenter: I know many people give their
children pocket money for doing chores around the house. What do you think? IS
that a good idea?
Lora Johns: Many experts who have written
on the subject of allowances say it's not a good idea to pay your child for
domg regular household chores, like washing the dinner dishes. These jobs are
just a normal part of family life. Paying children to do extra work around the
house, however, can be useful, It can even provide an understanding of how a
business works.
Presenter: So, pocket money is a positive thing after all?

Lora Johns: It can be. Allowances give children g. chance to experience the
things they can do with money. They can Share it in form Of gifts or donations
to a good cause, They can use it to buy things they want. Or they can and maybe
even invest it.
Presenter: In your opinion, which lesson is the most
important here?
Lora Johns: Definitely saving. It helps
children understand that costly goals require sacrifice: you have to cut costs
and plan for the future. Requiring children to save part of their allowance can
also open the door to more saving and investing in the future. Many banks offer
specialized accounts to help children and teenagers learn about personal
finance. At the same time, of course, the banks are creating future customers.
Presenter: Could you explain how exactly it works?
Lora Johns: A savings account is an
excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest, Interest rates on
savings can be very low these days. But compounding works by paying interest on
interest. So, for example, one dollar invested at two percent interest will
earn two cents in the first year. The second year, the money Will earn two
percent of one dollar and two cents, and so on. That may not seem like a lot.
But over time it adds up. Presenter: Thank you, Lora.

Speaker A

My friends say volunteering isn't a good idea. The thought of doing something
for free doesn't attract them at all. But think volunteering is absolutely
necessary in the modern world. If you help someone today; maybe somebody else
will help you when you need it. Or maybe they'll help your friends or
relatives. Kind things are like a boomernng — they come back to the people who
do something positive without expecting anything in return.
Speaker B
Volunteering is hard in my opinion. You
have to find time in your schedule to do tasks that are often hard, either
physically or psychologically. Still, many teenagers, including me, volunteer
their time, not only because doing something good invites good karma, but also
because it'll look good on your C.V. If you have been a volunteer; your chances
to be accepted at a good college or university jump right up. By helping
others, you can help yourself,
Speaker C
For me, volunteering is a chance to meet
new people and make friends. I take part in international volunteering
programs, like youth sun-amer camps that focus on the environment or teach
younger kids. I have many friends on Facebook, thanks to my volunteer
activities, and now I know much more about the world around me. I'd really like
to be a volunteer at the Olympic village in Sochi in 2014, but I hear
foreigners can't do that. It's such a pity!
Speaker D
I've been working as a volunteer for
several years already and I enjoy it immensely. I feel socially usefúl
and part of the community I belong to, It might take lot of my time and energy
and be very demanding, but the satisfaction I get in the end is

worth it all. Volunteering is so rewarding. And thanks to
wise time management, somehow I always find time for everything
— studies, leisure and helpmg others, so it iB really great.
Speaker E
I think everyone should try volunteering
at some point in their life, And it's not only about being useful to your
community; Volunteering teaches you about yourself and the world around you.
You begin to appreciate what you have, but might have been taking for granted,
because you see so many people who can't afford the simplest things that you
use every day without noticing it. When you understand the real value of
things, you grow up.
Speaker F
I'm a volunteer at the local library and
I'm proud of it. My job is to find books for the library. I find old books
people have already read and don't want anymore. At first, when I knocked on
people's doors, they didn't understand what I wanted; sometimes they even
laughed at me, but I didn't give up. I organized a fair and a book sale and
people began to pay attention. I've managed to collect many books for the
library — and that's quite an achievement!

cooks a lot of German national dishes, especially, desserts.

name any?

think. Well, for instance, 'Apfel Kuchen', which is bit like our apple pie.
There are other types of German pastries my granny prepares. I think she can

Jill: Don't you think she might mind?
Matthew: I don't think so. In fact, I
think she'll be pleased. But I should warn you, I think it's probably not a
piece of cake making those recipes, if you'll forgive the pun.
Jill: Well, you might be right. What should I do then?
Matthew: One more idea is soup.
Jill: Soup? Nobody ever eats soup in my family!
Matthew: Why not? Don't they like it?
Jill: I don't know, actually.
Matthew: Soups are quite easy Lo cook and
there are so many unusual ideas for making them. Hungarian cuisine, for
instance, has a lot of various soups.
Jill: Is Hungarian food considered good?
Matthew: Actually, yes. Hungarian food is
quite special, almost like French cuisine. Even exotic, I'd say.
Jill: Do you think I have all the
necessary kitchen equipment and utensils to make soup?
Matthew: A stove, a pot, a sharp knife, a
spoon to stir it all. I think you just need the regular stuff. Have you got all
that?
Jill: Of course! So can you give me a recipe?
Matthew: I'll send a selection tonight by e-mail so you
ran choose one.

Jill: Thanks, Matthew, you're a real star.
Matthew: My pleasure. And I can give you a hand if you
want.
Jill: That would be great!
Matthew: It's a date then.

Now we are
ready start.
Presenter: Here we are with our program
'Daily Psychology'. Our expert, Tom Burk, will tell us something exciting about
building relationships in the modern world. Hello, Tom:
Tom Burk: Good afternoon.
Presenter: So, Tom, tell us about today's topic?
Tom Burk: Today we're focusing on the
psychology of starting a relationship or getting acquainted, LWhen
do people decide it they want to become friends? It turns out it happens during
the first four minutes they're together. Today I'll offer brief advice to
anyone who is about Vo start a new friendship, but as we have just a few
minutes on show, let me sum it up like this: if you meet someone in a social
situation, give them your full attention for four minutes.
Presenter: So how should people behave during these four
minutes?
Tom Burk: Firstly, when somebody is
introducing us to new people, we should try to be friendly and self-confident.
In general, people like people who like themselves. On the other hand, we
shouldn't make the other person think we are too sure of ourselves. It's
important to be interested and sympathetic, realizing that the other person has
their own needs, fears and hopes. pay attention to their interests, hobbies,
family members, and the result will be practically immediate.
Presentet% So probably you need to be born with these skills?
Tom Burk: I often hear people say you must
have a talent for communication. True, some people establish contacts faster
and more effectively than others, but this ability isn't genetic and can be
learned.
Presenter: Several people nowadays have
their first communication with other people on•line. Are your recommendations
useful for them?
Tom Burk: For many modern people Internet
communication is the best way to start a relationship, either because Of their
lifestyle or their  For instance, they may work long hours
or they're Shy. HOWever„ meeting someone online can be fine if at the end you
want to meet them face-to-face. Sorry to say, Internet addicts are a common
problem — these people just can't Stop surfing the Net, and they never actually
meet their online friends in real life,

Presenter: Acting self-confident sounds like good advice —
but is it really for everyone ?
Tom Burk: Some people might think it's
dishonest to give the appearance of friendly self-confidence when we don't
actually feel that way. Perhaps, but many psychologists believe that so-called
"total honesty' isn't always good for social relationships, especially
during the first four minutes of contact, and I share their point of view. Some
play-acting may be good for the first minutes of contact with a stranger. For
example, a first meeting probably isn't the best time to complain about your health
or to find faults with other people. It's better just to ask questions, talk
about the weather and cultural life, things like that.
Presenter: So it's not the time to tell the whole truth
about your opinions.
Tom Burk: Exactly.
Presenter: Do you have any final recommendations, Tom?
Tom Burk: I'd like to add that much Of
what was said here also be applied to relationships with family members and
friends. According to scientists, husbands and wives or parents and children
often have problems during the first four minutes they're together after being
apart for some time. Psychologists think that everyone should treat the first
four minutes together with the utmost care. If there are some unpleasant
issues, they should probably discuss them a bit later. After they've got used
to each other again, they can calk about it with greater understanding,

Now we are ready to start.
Speaker A
I got, interested in hitchêhiking
after watching the famous film *Euro Tour'. It's a hilarious comedy where g.
group Of friends travel around Europe looking for adventure. I inspired by the
film and decided try it with my friends. The film offers good advice — like how
to find really Cheap plane tickets or a hostel to spend the night in. We
followed same route from film while hitch-hiking and I must say loved every
minute of it!
Speaker B
Hitch-hiking may look like a romantic and
exciting way of traveling for some people, but I really don't think it is. When
I travel, I like to do it in comfort, I always plan my travel thoroughly,
reserving hotel rooms well in advance. Now it's even possible to buy tickets
online to popular museums so I don't have to waste precious time queuing. With
hitch-hiking, everything is very spontaneous and decided on the spot, That's
not for me,
Speaker C
I've never tried hitch•hiking myself, but
my friends hitch-hiked last year across Australia and they say there are some
ups and downs about this kind of traveling. The advantages are you're free to
go wherever you want, and you're always in the moment, seeing things that
ordinary tourists miss becausc they're always focused on their plan. As for
possible cons, hitch-hiking can be dangerous. For instance, my friends got
mugged at gunpoint.
Speaker D
Hitch-hiking is the only kind of
traveling I can afford. All my classmates are planning their gap years thinking
about all the exciting places they'll go and the fascinating sights
they'll But mg — I don't have enough money to pay for a posh gap •year. Instead
I spent my savings on a really expensive laptop that I'll need at university.
So hitch-hiking is the only way I can afford to have a great time before I
settle into my studies cOllege.
Speaker E
Many people think that hitch-hiking is
just a way for cheap kids to save some money while traveling across the
country; Just put your thumb out and get a lift. I disagree. Many drivers who
tend to stop to pick up hitch-hikers are friendly and talkative people bored
making a long trip. They just want to have a nice chat to the time. The drivers
help the hitch-hikers, and the hitch-hikers help the drivers. Everyone benefits
this way:
Speaker F
I'm an experienced hitch-hiker and I
enjoy this way of travelling immensely. I've gone to really a lot or different
great places hitch-hiking, and it's saved me much money. If you want to enjoy
it, you need to observe a few simple rules. First, be polite and talkative.
Second, you must write your destination on a big piece of paper and hold it up
while waiting for a lift. Be friendly and patient ag well. This will definitely
help you on the road.
You have 15 seconds co complete the task. (Pause 15
seconds.)
Now you will hear the texts again. (Repeat.)

This is the end Of          task. You now have 15 seconds to ebegžk your

Jack: Irene, I'm bored. I thought I'd be
enjoying some peace and quiet after another hectic week but alas, I'm just
plain bored. I need something to do.
Irenet Well, I've got an idea. Let's go to a concert
tonight.
Jack: You know, Irene, I'm as crazy about
music as you are, but if you're talking about going a symphony orchestra
concert or opera, I'm out.
Irene: It's neither of those. Actually, I had a rock
concert in mind.
Jack: I didn't know you liked rock music.
Irene: Well, I do: My father really loves
rock music, and I'm definitely my father's daughter. He's got an extensive
collection of rock albums. You know, the classics, like Chuck Berry and Ray
Charles.
Jack: As for me, I'm keen on country
music. Rock's just too loud for me. I find songs deafening and
meaningless.
Irenet Sorry, I just can't agree with you.
The best rock songs are never meaningless. Take Tracy Chapman's songs. She's
one of my favorites. She writes her songs herself and they aren't the usual mix
of bouncy dance tunes and meaningless lyrics. She writes about personal pain,
politics and poverty.
Jack: OK, I'll give you Tracy Chapman. Her
hit singles usually spend weeks at the top of the charts both in US and the UK.
What I like about her is her simple and natural style. And I guess why she's so
popular.
Irene: I'm with you there! In concert and
in videos, she never uses make-up, costumes or special effects — just her voice
and an acoustic guitar. So, you see, Jack — you do like rock music!
Jack: Okay, I take my words back, sorry. I
suppose you already know, Tracy Chapman's concert is going to be on TV next
Saturday. Are you going to watch it?
Irene: guess so, but wish I could see the
performance live. But it'S probably too late to get tickets, It's going to be
at the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts. Shows there always sell out.
Jack: You never know before you try. Why not call and ask?
Irene: Okay, I'll do it first thing
tomorrow. Shall I tell you if there are still tickets available?
Jack: Yes, please, I'd love to go if the price is
reasonable.
Irene: OK. But in the meantime, what are we going to do
tonight?
Jack: Oh, I don't want to bother going out. Let's have
a quiet night in and rent a film.
Irene: Fine. Shall we order a pizza as well?
Jack: Good ideal Pizza and movie — nothing better!

Now we are ready to start.
Presenter: Welcome to our program where
we speak about the burning issues of our modern world. Today we're talking
medicine and longevity. Our expert today is Lora Johns, MD.
Lora Johns: Good afternoon.
Presenter: So, Lora, what are the latest trends in modern
healthcare?
Lora Johns: A new study says people are
living longer, but many are living longer in poor health. Researchers found
that life expectancy has increased by about 5 years since 1990. On average, men
worldwide can expect to live 67-and•a-half years. Women can expect to live to
age 73.
Presenter: Have these results been published?
Lora Johns: Of course, this is a worldwide
project. Almost 500 researchers in 50 countries took part in the study of
global disease and disability. The findings appear in a senes Of articles in
*The Lancet', whose editor-in-chief ig the famous Richerd Horton. Actually, he
sounds quite optimistic about the statistics. He says that all of us in the
world of health tend to focus too much on diseases and other bad news. Actually,
the Global Burden of Disease 2013 Study presents very good news, at least in
broad terms.
Presenter: Really? Could you explain this more?
Lora Johns: For instance, the research
found that far fewer people died of measles. tetanus, respiratory problems and
diarrheal diseases in 2013 than in 1993. Deaths from infections,
childbirth-related problems and malnutrition fell about 17% to 13.2 million.
presenter: What are the main objectives of modern healthcare?
Lora Johns: Global efforts have focused
on reducing HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. HIV/AIDS deaths have dropped
since 2006, and TB deaths fell almost 20% since 1990. But each of these
diseases still kills more than a million people every year. The number of
malaria deaths increased by an estimated 20%, to almost 1.2 million in 2011'L
As Richard Horton puts it, those three big diseases are just not going away.
Presenter: What other comments have medical specialists
made to the report?
Lora Johns: Well, we'd be wise to trust
the expertise of Mike Cohen. He is the head of global health research at the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, He was not involved in the
research, but he says it shows a change taking place worldwide. What he thinks
is that with infectious diseases being better controlled and people living
longer, and with their diets and lifestyles changing, the inevitable
consequence in health is that we have to deal much more broadly with
hypertension, heart disease, and diabetes.
Presenter: That sounds like sad news.

Lora Johns: I totally agree. The Study also found that these kinds of non•
communicable diseases caused more than half of the global burden of disease in
2013. The two biggest killers — heart disease and stroke — caused one-fourth of
all deaths in 2013. That was up from one-fifth in 1993.
Presenter: I guess in many cases people
can only blame themselves for their illnesses.
Lora Johns: True. There was a 48%
increase in the number of deaths from lung cancer, commonly caused by smoking
tobacco.
Presenter: The final question. What are the main causes of
people's disabilities
Lora Johns: The top causes of disability
are physical conditions like arthritis and back problems, and mental and
behavioral problems like depression, anxiety and substance abuse. Harvard
University professor Joshua Salomon, a co-author of the disability research,
thinks that in general we've been more successful at reducing mortality and
less successful at actually addressing chronic disability. Presenter: Thank
you, Lora.

Now
we are ready to start.
Speaker A

For any celebration you have so many people to give presents to: your mates,
parents, relatives. It creates problem of choosing an original present. I think
everybody is so tired of traditional gifts: To my mind, the simplest way out is
accessories. They are always different and can suit everybody. For family
members it may seem a good investment. if it's expensive enough and it may
definitely help your friends look great at a party!
Speaker B
As for me, I dislike
pragmatic, domestic gifts. They may be useful, of course, but when you get a
present, you expect a surprise, not a new kind of washing powder. I do not
understand people who are happy to get kitchen towels, cups, dishes or anything
like that. If you do not have any innovative ideas, buy some perfume or flowers
— they are not practical, they are pleasant.
Speaker C
Honestly speaking, I'd
be glad to get g weekend camping Lour even a local place of interest. It would
be the best present and the worst is perfume. Perfume ig the ultimate in
personal gifts, even more than accessories. What scent a person chooses is
unique and usually very subjective. It also looks like a last-minute decision
which may seem impolite, unless you are absolutely sure in your choice, which,
as I said is a rare case.
Speaker D
Giving and receiving
presents can be stressful. A pidky person can dislike some gifts or even worse
— give them to somebody else. Horrible! So I found a perfect way out gift
certificate. For anyone who likes shopping it is ideal and you don't waste time
trying to find something special. But there are disadvantages about a gift
certificate Coo. A person may think that you just didn't want to be bothered
and get offended, so it's not a universal present after all.

Speaker E
If you can afford it,
try not to give things, but experiences as a present. It is not necessarily
something very expensive. Tickets to the first night performance or to a new
exhibition in an art gallery, or anywhere else will do fine. It is even better
if you can go there together and share these experiences. Take a camera, With
you and take pictures! Such a present will leave long-standing memories which
are dear themselves.
Speaker F
Living in high-tech
world, it would not be unusual to buy gadgets as a present. If your friend
commutes, it can be an iPod, if your friend is very busy an electronic
organizer will be an excellent idea. There are millions of choices and they are
not expensive either. Such a present can show the person exactly how much
thought you put into choosing the perfect gift taking into account his or her
way of life and needs.

Presenter: With us in
the studio today we have the owner of famous British Vintage Inns, Good
afternoon, Mitchell.
Michael Mitchell: Good afternoon, but,
please, call me Michael.
Presenter: so,
Michael, what is so special about Vintage Inns for Englishmen or tourists?
Michael Mitchell: I
must say one of our greatest advantages is that we are in really prime places.
Imagine a, summer's day, a river gently flowing past as you enjoy a light lunch
or an evening meal with friends, Or, maybe, it is winter and you sit in front
of a log fire. Our inns are always in a quaint village in the heart of the
English countryside which makes it attractive for both nostalgic British people
and enthusiastic tourists.
Presenter: As I understand, most of your inns have their own gardens.
Michael Mitchell:
Yes, it is certainly true. They are every bit as pleasant as the places the
inns are in — ideal for a meal in tine weather, which is, of course, seasonal,
Presenter: Still, competition is high in your sphere, Being not so close to
centers of big cities, what do you do to make sure people will drive specially
to you?
Michael Mitchell:
Actually, I do nothing special to attract potential customers. you see, I do
not have to as the inns are generally located in places worth visiting and many
are close to enchanting walks. Very often there is a Vintage Inn close to a

Ere,
TM(108b/E aK3AMEHAUWOHHSlE
stately home or a historic village or another attraction.
What could be a better way to spend a day Off with family? Even London pubs
cannot offer this.
Presenter: Any Chain Store risks becoming
boring for clients they all 100k exactly the same. What do you think about this
opinion?
Michael Mitchell: I'd like to say that
every Vintage Inn is different, but they are all the same. All our inns will
definitely offer the same high quality menu and standards of service. All our
landlords and ladies share the passion for •getting it right'. However, each
Vintage Inn has its own unique character. You will discover thatched roofs,
soft, natural slate, buildings of hewn stone. There are Tudor, Georgian,
Victorian and many more styles of architecture, including modern ones.
Presenter: What about food in Vintage Inns?
Michael Mitchell' What we offer is best
described as leaning towards traditional home style cooking but with a
contemporary twist. Still, we do allow the best of great food from around the
world to add a little influence on what we do. Many of our dishes are our own
creation — and all dishes are designed to look tempting and great on the plate.
Presenter: Is there difference between an afternoon menu
and an evening one?
Michael Mitchell: Well, on working days
at lunch time you can choose anything from a range of sandwiches to full
three-course meals. Our evening meals also offer lighter choices but includes
fish, chicken, pasta, salads, Steaks and pies too. On Sundays we include a
choice of traditional roasts and puddings.
Presenter: What is your booking policy?
You must have a long line of people wishing to visit your places!
Michael Mitchell: I
know many people prefer to book for their Friday dinner well beforehand.
Nevertheless, in fact, at Vintage Inns you cannot book! That is because we are
ready to welcome you — seven days a week. Just turn up and we will make you
feel welcome, even if you choose to come at the busiest time. As soon as a
table is vacant, you can luave it.

major changes, but I disagree as there're many things everyone can do to help
our planet. Let's start with our homes. Encouraging your family to recycle regularly
is a good thing to start with. Every glass bottle you recycle saves enough
energy to run a TV for an hour, while recycling an aluminum can saves enough
energy to run a TV for three hours! It's not difficult to turn out the lights
when you leave a room or use re-useable containers for your lunches.
Speaker B
My name is Walton and
I'm from the USA. I'm personally concerned about our environment pollution. I
try to protect the environment, to preserve it and leave it clean and undamaged
for the next generations who are at risk of not being able to leave their homes
due Lo the high city pollution. Yet now, in my native city (Boston) the smog
has increased to such a threatemng level that my family and I had to move,
because the air was harmful the health of my 4,yegr-old son.
Speaker C
In my country, England,
there is hardly a part of it that is within its natural state. The typical
English countryside, the hills and fields, have all been shaped by generations
of cultivation. In fact, taking the planet as a whole there is hardly a part of
it that humans have not changed. I tear that by our pollution humans are
changing the places where they do not live and where they live. Deserts are
becoming hotter, arctic ice is melting and wherever you you can see the ugly
footprint of humanity.
Speaker D
Of course we should care
more about our planet water supplies. When you use water wisely, you help the
You save water for fish and animals. You
a-a.
TWICBblE OKSAMEHAUMOHHE.IE BAPWAHTb1
help preserve drinking water supplies well. You save the
energy that your water supplier uses to move water to you and the energy your
family uses to heat your water. When you use water wisely, you save money as
your family pays for the water you use. So if kids start learning to use water
wisely today, they will be helping themselves in the future.
Speaker E
My name is Susan and I'm 17 years old. I
think the earth is the home we all live in but many people simply don't care. I
get depressed by all those warnings that we hear daily, acid rain, global
warming and on and on. It is likely that there will always be some people who
litter in towns and in the country, despite fines and knowledge of the
environmental consequences. You cannot influence the way other people care for
our planet and makes me very sad.
Speaker F
I suggest we should use all resources in
the most efficient way possible. A green home will be a good solution here as
it helps to conserve energy as well as water. Waste and pollution will be
decreased too. A green home protects the environment by using renewable solar
energy. Solar panels on the roof of a home collect sunlight, which is then
converted into power to heat the home and run the home equipment. So a green
home will save energy as well as money in addition to having other health
benefits.

Now we are ready to start.
Emily: When I finished school I went to
university, Melbourne University, and studied science. I then gained my
university degree and after that worked in a heart disease research institute.
At that time I decided to start my career in medicine.
David: Did you work in Melbourne?
Emily: Yes, in Melbourne, So I worked for
a year, a bit over a year on different patient recovery programs, Then 1 wanted
to have a break so I went truvelling and I travelled through Western Europe and
ended up in London and I worked 8t the

hospital in an immunology lab and that was
more diagnostic work. It was quite interesting. And after that I moved to
Finland.
David:  great:
Emily: And I did my doctor's dissertation
there.
David: I'm sorry for interrupting, I am just CttriOUS was it in English?
Emily: Yes, every
student who is doing their dissertation, they have to write their works in
English. And the seminars are given in English as well.
David: So you were in Finland for about
five years. Do you speak Finnish?
Emily: Not very well, I
can understand a bit, but it is quite a difficult language and because English
was any mother tongue they wanted to practice their English and preferred to
speak English with me. But yeah I did take lessons and try to learn it... and
that was all...
David: I understand.
I've had a similar experience with learning French, My frequent business trips
to France didn't help me much in language learning — some basic skills only. I
wish I could take time to start regular
Emily: Probably I needed
more lessons in Finnish too. Anyway I decided to move back to Melbourne so I
took the trans•Siberian train.
Davidt Incrediblet
Emily: Once I got back
to Melbourne I started my post-doctoral research which was in a different field
from heart problems, actually in the field of our immune system. David: Well,
it is quite a different direction. What influenced you most?
Emily: I thitik it was
my previous working experience in London and my colleagues at the lab who
encouraged me greatly to start this. So that was three years and that was in
Melbourne. Then I just published the work and decided to travel.

Now we are ready to start.
Callum: Hello, I'm
Callum Robinson and this is Entertainment. Our topic today is films and film
festivals. You may have heard of the Venice Film Festival and the Cannes Film
Festival, glorious occasions with A-list celebrities from the movie world
turning out to promote their latest projects. A festival you might not know is
the Portobello Film Festival which is currently taking place in Portobello, un
area of West London, It's had its own independent film festival for a number of
years and to learn more about it I've invited the festival's director Jonathan
Barnett. So, Jonathan, could you tell us about when and how the festival
started.
201'

Jonathan Barnett: Well, it started in 1996
because even back in those days there were people making very low budget films
often using video equipment and there wasn't really anywhere for them Show
their films so we thought it would be nice to provide a platform
for these filmmakers. We had the mad idea the time Of showing every film that
was submitted and we also decided not Lo charge because I suppose at heart we
weren't rabid capitalists.
Callum: So the festival started as a way
of giving unknown filmmakers somewhere to show their films. As Jonathan said,
to give them a platform. Then I've got a question. How many films are being
shown and how do you manage to pay for it, for running the festival, I mean?
Jonathan BarnetE This year we're showing
700 films. The money comes in from funding mostly, we get money from people and
orgamzations like Film London and the Arts Council and we also get different
kinds of support from sponsors. So we don't have to pay for advertising, we
don't have to pay for launch parties. we don't have to pay for prizes.
Callum: Over the first three weeks of
August 700 films are being shown as part of the Portobello Film Festival. What
kind of films can be seen? Are they just short student films or does the
festival attract big names as well? Here's the festival's director Jonathan
Barnett.
Jonathan Barnett: The actual films we're
showing are a lot better than anything you'll see on TV or on multiplexes and
it's everything from student films and we also get stuff tram top filmmakers like,
for instance, John Malkovich. So I think because we're u festival has a
reputation for a, certain amount Of integrity and also being u little bit out
on a limb we attract the big names as well as people who are just starting out.
The first year of the festival we had Guy Ritchie's first film which wag called
the "Hard Case", which was fantastic, it's exactly the same as Lock
Stock and Snatch but he was kind of formulating his ideas and it was a short
film.
Callum: As far as know, the Portobello
Film Festival runs until the 21st of August as well as films there are other
arts events, a variety of fantastic concerts, exhibitions and presentations.
You want the festival to be more than just for film, don't you?
Jonathan Barnett: Yest what we want it to
be is, we want it to be a bit like a kind of cross between Glastonbury festival
and Edinburgh festival, but for free and set in Portobello Road.
Callum: We also hope it would become a big
arts festival — amazing, unforgettable and a good start for young talents!
That's all from Entertainment this week.

Now we are ready to start.
Speaker A
I think people should pay more attention
to reusing materials. It's the best way to save our planet's resources. In
fact, we don't have any other optuon if we plan to leave the planet for
generations to come. For example, it's more environment-friendly to use linen
napkins that can be washed and reused than to use paper products. It's also
important to stop using dangerous chemicals that spoil our soil and drinking
water.
Speaker B
My name is Stephen. I'm very worried
about high urban pollution. This problem is actually global. Anyone who went to
Beijing to watch the Olympic games can confirm it as Beijing was covered day
and night by strong smog. The problem is that this smog in big industrial
megapolises is not set to decrease, but instead it will increase over the
coming years; this Will bring about pollution all over the world and will cause
global warming!
Speaker C
I find the effect of water pollution an
the ecological balance and human life really dramatic. Though there are many
other things that are polluting water, oil is still the major contributor.
There may be eases of large oil spills durmg transportation, but the fact is
that small motor oil spills on land are far more dangerous. So it's important
that we take measures in Lime to save our water environment.
Speaker D
My name is Barbara. I've only been
"cleaning green" for over a year now. It was a difficult start. My
daughter made me stop using toxic chemical products for cleaning by regularly
telling me how I was poisoning our health, polluting the air in the house,
damaging the planet and exposing my grandson oto all of the above.
Now I like it a lot! I will never go back to chemical cleaners, not any more.

TMnoa,HE
axaAMEHAUL,lOHHSlE BAPVIAHTSI
Speaker E
I support the idea of using Olily natural
products for cleaning purposes, Of courae it's not easy. Changing from old
habits to new healthy; non-toxic ones takes time and practice. It's like any
bad habit, once it's been done we feel really good about ourselves. But we're
not doing this for some unseen stranger. We're doing it for ourselves. Let's
leave our planet in the best possible Shape we by all working out and following
new rules together.
Speaker F
I think everyone can do their part to
protect our planeL It's easier than you may think — do not litter and do not
dispose your waste in the way that will harm people or animals. Always use the
proper method for it. And it's really more useful to put out different bins for
different waste materials like glass, plastic bottles. paper and tins. The bins
are usually of different colours to be easily identified.

Jerry I'm planning on sleeping all day, every day:
Kutet Oh, come on, Jerry, you must be joking.
Jerry: Yeah, I'm just pulling your leg.
Actually, I'm going to travel to Luxor in Egypt.
Kate: Really? Why would you go to Luxor
but not to the Red Sea resorts? They're much more popular tourist sites.
Jerry: Exactly: They are very popular, so they'll be too
crowded. What I need is peace and comfort. I enjoyed my last year trip to Paris
to see the Eiffel Tower; but there were so many tourists there. I think it
spoiled the atmosphere a bit.
Kate: I'm sure Luxor won't be so crowded.
But won't it be too hot in the summer? Jerry: I'll bear anything for the sake
of the views of this ancient Egyptian city. And rely on air conditioning inside
— the hotel promises it works perfectly there.
e: 201'

Kate: Well, that sounds
good. I wouldn't mind going there myself then. Still,  wonder is there
anything worth seeing in Luxor?
Jerry: Sure! For one thing,
there's the unique scenen•• of the city built directly on the Nile. I t m
sure you've heard Of Luxor Temple. There are also the Egyptiun Pyramids which
are said to be spectacular. They are a major tourist attraction, aren't they?
Kate: Of course, I have
heard of the Pyramids, but won't you get bored just looking at them?
Jerry: Come on. Kate,
there's lots of things to do. I can take a river cruise on the Nile, and I will
visit some excavation Sites at Luxor it is very historical City With many
ancient remains that are still amazing.
Kate: Well, when you describe it like
that, it sounds really interesting:
Jerry; And not all. I'll
be able to delicious, spicy food and enjoy swimming and sunbathing as they have
a huge open-air swimming pool in the hotel.
Kate: I'm sure you'll
have fun, Jerry, but let me ask you — you already reserved a room at the hotel
you want? find last mmute bookings very disappointing.
Jerry: Don't worry, I'm
very lucky. I've reserved a room at the Pyramid Luxor Hotel, the best five
stars resort in the area. I've seen some pictures on the Internet, it's really
nice!

Now

Presenter: With us in the
Studio today we have James Smith, a psychologist from the University Of North
Carolina. Good afternoon, James.
James Smith: Good afternoon. I am really glad to be
taking part in this programme — it is a great honour for me.
Presenter% Thank you. The
topic we have for today is familiar to everybody — this is our dreams. We all
have dreams and are dreaming of our dreams coming true if I can put it that
way! James knows exactly how to do it. Is that so, James?
James Smith: I think it is.
One of the amazing things we have been given as humans is the desire to have
dreams and the ability to establish goals to live out those dreams. What makes
it even more powerful is our ability not only to dream and pursue those dreams
but the cognitive ability to actually lay out a plan and strategies Lo achieve
those dreams. The question is how to do it.
Presenter: Can you define what                                                 our
dreams and goals?
James Smith: This is not what you already
have or what you have done, but what you want. Have you ever taken time to
think over your life values and decide what you really want? Have you ever
truly reflected and listened quietly to your heart to see what dreams live
within you? Your dreams are there. Everybody them. They may live right on the
surface or be hidden deeply if you are often told sarcastically they are not
serious but they are Still there,
Presenter: So how do we know what our dreams are?
James Smith: This is an interesting
process and it relates primarily to the art of listening. This is not listening
to others; it is listening to you. If we listen to others, we hear their plans
and dreams and many of them will try to put their dreams and plans on us. If we
listen to others, we can never be fulfilled. We will only chase elusive dreams.
So we must listen to our own hearts.
Presenter: That seems easy and difficult
at the same time. Do you know any practical steps on hearing from our hearts on
what our dreams are?
James Smith; Firstly, take time to be
quiet. This is something that we do not do enough in this busy world of ours.
Schedule some dream time — no other people, no cell phone or computer. Just
you, a pad and a pencil and your thoughts! Think about what thrills you, what
you would love to do either for fun or for a living. When you answer these
questions, you will find yourself in the "dream zone". Only when we
get to this point, we will experience what our dreams are.
Presenter: Whut should we do ne*t?

James Smith: Secondly, write down all of your dreams as you have them. Do not
think of any as too outlandish or foolish — remember, you are dreaming! Let the
thoughts fly and take careful record. Then, prioritize those dreams. Which are
most important? Which are most feasible? Which would you love to do the most?
Put them in the order in which you will actually try to attain them. Remember,
we are always moving toward action, not just dreaming.
Presenter: What if person does not find time to do all of
this?
James Smith: Here is the big picture: life is too short and
when it comes to the end, you can reflect on it either with joy or regret.
Those who dream, who set goals and act on them to live out their dreams           those
who live lives of joy and have a sense of peace.
Presenter: What is your final piece Of advice?
James Smith: Remember about the dreams
and goals that are born out of your heart and mind. These are the goals that
are unique to you and come from who you were created to be and gifted to become.
Your specific goals are what you want to attain because they will make your
life joyfult Presenter: Thank you, James. James Smith: My pleasure.

Now
we are ready to start.
Speaker A

I'm trying to get back on track agam with healthy food. I've been really bad
this couple of months, resulting in horrible weight gain. I still go to the gym
times a week, but eat a lot of unhealthy snacks between meals. I somehow
thought it's my reward for going to the gym, but it certainly made me gain more
weight rather than lose it. I figure if I can replace my dinner with fruits,
will achieve weight loss easily and in a healthy way. But the problem is, after
the gym when I feel really hungry the first thmg I look for is something
savoury.
Speaker B
My name is Jenna and I'm 17 years old.
I'd never had weight issues until last year. I had problems that made me very
depressed, SO I all the time and watched TV because I didn't want to leave the
house. I know that's not an excuse for eating so unhealthily, but was in my own
little world, you could say. I'm a very athletic person and I still have all my
muscle, but I've just gained weight. I've decided to start my diet on Wednesday
and work out Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays with one Of my friends.
Speaker C  am utterly
frustrated at the moment. My weight is not moving in the right direction. Which
is not surprising since I just can't resist food, especially unhealthy food.
Like yesterday, I went to the supermarket and bought strawberries and grapes
and apples only to go back 20 minutes later oto get a marble cake. I
only ate two slices of it and it was all I had for dinner but still it makes me
angry. Sometimes I feel it has be either all or nothing, I just know that
eating nothing is not the right thing to do and that it won't help in the long
run.
C 2015

Speaker D
I'm doing really well. 1 thought that
when I came home from school I would balloon up, because my mom is an awesome
cook and when I'm home I work two jobs and I am álways too tired to
exercise. Plus, at school the gym is free and at home it most certainly is not.
However, I've managed to stay at the same weight, and am at my lowest weight on
my mom's scale! I eat around 1200-1400 calories a day so that my parents don't
suspect anything, but I know they're impressed with my weight loss. I am too:
Speaker IE
My name is Bobbi. I'm a sophomore in
college and live in the dorm. This is the first time I've experienced living on
my own. So I can go to any grocery shop and get whatever I want or go out to
eat whenever I want. I stopped being active after the swim season was over in
my senior year of high school. My weight steadily increased since then because
of my eatmg and exercise habits alone, I think. So I have asked my doctor
recently to work out a special combination of diet and sport activities. I hope
it will help.
Speaker F
I wish I could just kick the pounds away
but alas, no way. I cannot starve myself, and also, I don't want to. Still, I
want to lose weight, as fast as possible, of course.  thought I'd try to
eat healthy food and exercise a lot but it's just so hard to come home and not
plunder the fridge. Ifs so difficult change one's lifestyle. need some support
and encouragement from somebody who understands how difficult it is to solve my
problem.

Susan: Sally, have you read "Alice's Adventures in
Wonderland"?
Sally: Yes. My mother read and loved it
when she was younger and I have her copy. loved it when I was younger, and even
more now that understand the metaphors and the irony.

Susan: Personally, 1
have a great love for the Caterpillar. And who is your favourite character from
the book?
Sally: I think it is the
Mad His madness and playfulness helps me understand who I am or at least try to
be as a person. What is your favourite passage from the book?
Susan: I love when the
queen says "Sometimes I've believed in as many as six impossible things
before breakfast."
Sally: My favourite
passage is Alice'S conversation with herself She falls down the rabbit hole. It
was in that moment that I really fell in love with the quaint little girl named
Alice.
Susan: Do you think that
the book has any undertones, or do you merely love it as it is, a book written
in an eccentric and witty style, full of twisted adventures?
Sally: I would say there
are many witty, eccentric, slightly twisted books out there. Of course I think
there are undertones. There are so many undertones in fact that I'm afraid the
Alice book may become too outdated and cryptic for taiay"g children.
Susan: Oh, no! I think
of it as a contemporary book that can be enjoyed for years to come. I hope my
children will read the same cherished copy I read and my mother read before me.
Sally: By the way, what is your favourite
film Bdaptation of the Alice hook?
Susan: I am not as
familigr with the film adaptations as I am with the novel and musical
interpretations. I quite like a music video that a friend of mine has done to
the song "White Rabbit", but I suppose my favourite Alice film is the
Disney version.
Sally:
Yes. I highly respect Walt Disney and his work, and I think the movie is well
done, Though I much prefer the book itself, Disney was not afraid Lo add a
little bit of himself to the film, which I respect him for.

Now we are ready to start.
Again, I'm not sure how
this works in any other part of the world. At my university we have a
student-elected body of representatives called "The Union". It is
quasipolitical body, elected from the student body and meant to represent the
student body as a whole. However, I have doubts about their ability to
represent me, and any other mature student at that university.
Let me begin by saying
that this year's President likes to be called "Gravy". The behavior
of the Union on the whole reflects this level of maturity. This year ran for

the office, I promised someone that I would run. A random
meeting with next year's President and a rant about how ineffectual I thought
the Union was brought this about, and I must say, my mates gave me a lot of
support. However, I did not make the effort to canvass, I did not want the
position.
Yes, if more mature and experienced
people do not join, What hope is there Of this body being more representative?
should feel worse than I do about my lax efforts, but there is no way in the
world I could sit in an office with these people without ranting and raving at
them. How can a body of 19 and 20 year olds represent student body that
ranges from 18 to 80? In the UK, more and more mature students are returnmg to
study every yean If the body that is meant to represent them discusses issues
like the ethics of every Single product in the Union shop, or whether not
allowing Al-Queda to operate from the university is discrimination or not they
are simply not represented. How can I present problems specific to a mature
student to someone with little or no life experience themselves?
This became evident in a short time and I
did not actually take any notice of the elections because these were not
elections based on any kind of merit, but on how popular someone is, or
how much attention they can draw to themselves during the elections by dressing
up. When I see taxpayers' money wasted on these things (and yes, it is that
money that is used) it makes me see red. The Union has a very important job to
do, and unfortunately it does not do it very well at all. The Union would
perform better as non-elected body where people with experiences of the issues
and methods do the work, rather than young and inexperienced people who want
nothing more than a jolly good time with their mates. and something to put on
their CV.
I have overheard some people talking
about this on occasions. They think that there is something wrong With the
situation. In my opinion, there's definitely something wrong with it.
I never thought that this was what
university would be about, I am there for a reason, Lo learn. sold my house to
finance this degree, it is pretty major commitment for me, so of course I um
going to take it seriously.

Now
we are ready to start.

Speaker A
I think there is too
much competition at work nowadays. Everybody ig longing for promotion and often
trying to move on to a better in another company. On the contrary, teamwork
aims at a company's accomplishments. When employees understand they can get ahead
with their own company, they cooperate with colleagues and work more
effectively to get better common and personal results.
Speaker B
It's very important to
understand people around you. If you are a manager, you'd better take time and
listen Co your colleagues, employees, face to face, if possible. Pay attention
to non-verbal ways of communication, as appropriate gestures and eye contact
can do more than even words of praise or criticismì The same piece of
advice goes to employees. Explain to your management your decisions in detail
and you'll get a reputation as a well-balanced person and career prospects.
Speaker C
I think it is difficult
for men and women to work in the same space. Women are more creative and
emotional whereas men are more logical and better organized. Women want to
feel, men want to think. Any department, if it considers these differences,
will be much better off with men and women working separately, without
distracting each other, causing conflicts and misunderstandings.
Speaker D
What I dislike about
some offices ig that there ig Loo much gossip there, It does not depend on who
dominates there — men or women. Actually, men are sometimes even worset It gets
on my nerves when people begm to discuss their manager, the

TVT10EblE GK3AMEHAUMOHHblE BAPViAHTb1

latest teambuilding activity or their domestic affairs. It
distracts me and is simply unpleasant. TO create some personal space and, work
effectively, I listen to
Speaker E
I think there should be a law for people
nat to go to work if they are ill or upset. To work effectively is simply
impossible if someone is coughing or wants to scream at you instead of
listening to your requests or suggestions. Any manager must ensure that the
office environment is calm and appropriate for work. TO introduce some relaxation
techniques might be u good idea as well.
Speaker F
What is important in any office is that
you get a clear explanation of what exactly to do from your management. There
should not be any room for confusion or misinterpretation. If instructions can
be understood as suggestions, there will not be any result. Instructions in the
written form are simply perfect. If you are provided with details of a
desirable result, this will be a key to completing the task successfully, I
think.

Jackt Hello, Mary! You look great and you
have a wonderful tan! What did you do at the weekend?
Mary: Hello, Jack. Well, my parents and I had a long drive to
the countryside to Sherwood My father is very much interested in Robin Hood,
you know. Then we had lunch in vintage inn in the summer garden. It was
fantastic!
Jack: A vintage inn? What is that? Is it kind of a
countryside pub?
Mary: Not really' Actually, there are g lot of them, close to
many major sights in Great Britain. They may look village-like, but the
standards of service are very high and the food is very tasty.
Jack: I don't find such places amusing.
Besides, the prices there are usually huge. Mary: It is not cheap,
I agree. At the same time, a lunch in London can be even more expensive indeed.
Where else can you try a traditional pudding or delicious Cheddar Mash after
all?

Jack: Still, 1 do not
see any point in driving miles from London just to have a light lunch. What
will you do there except gazing out of the window across a village green or a
natural pond if you are lucky?
Mary; I cannot agree
with you here, am afraid. Vintage inns are generally located in places worth
visiting like stately homes or historic villages or any other tourist
attractions and many are close to enchanting walks. It is not only about a
meal! As for staying indoors, as I said, most vintage inns have their own
gardens and they are ideal to have lunch in fine weather. Thai is where I got
my tan anyway.
Jack: Well, you seem to
have managed to persuade me. Next weekend I am going to Cardiff. Is there a
vintage inn close?
Mary: There must be one,
If you take a look at the map, you will certainly discover the closest vintage
inn.
Jack It may turn out not as good as the
one you visited last weekend, though.
Mary: According to the
travel brochure, every vintage inn is different, but they are all the same.
They may have different designs and menus, but all landlords and landladies
share the same passion for good food and excellent service, believe mel
Jack: Ok, can
you lend me the map? I am sure you took one in the inn you visited.
Mary: You know me well enough! I
will bring it tomorrow, I promise. Jack: Thanks.

Now we are ready to start.
Presenter: With us in
the studio today we have a girl from the famous Indian tribe — the Navaho.
Could you please introduce yourself to the audience?
Helen: People call me Helen, though it is not my real name.
All our names have special meanings; my original name for instance can be
translated as *dewdrop' from my native language.
Presentel% That is a beautiful name
indeed! Why would one change it?
Helen: You see I had Lo
when I went to school. It was not easy for my teachers and classmates to
pronounce it as our system — I mean the Navaho system — of vowel sounds is so
much different for people around, which makes it problematic both for ear and
tongue. The sound of my name was closest to Helen so I put up with that.
Presenter: When people
hear your tribe name, they imagine Indian-style tents and horse riding without
a saddle. Could you explam what your land and people are like?
Helen: Much about the
life of modern Native Americans is not the same as stereotypes may make you
believe. Our land is basically a desert, with proper houses scattered
everywhere. We no longer live in our traditional teepees. They are only used

for religious meetings. We still ride horses as the land is
very open. The people are nice and friendly. I live in a small
community in New Mexico.
Presenter: Could you tell us about your family?
Helen: Well, mine is very large, with a
lot of relatives spread all over the reservation, and some in different cities.
I have three brothers, a sister and three sisters-in-law. I'm the youngest Of my
family. However, it iB not a, not all our families are the same size. They used
to be like ours, but not anymore.
Presenter: What is your lifestyle like?
Helen: Again, far from stereotypes. I go
out with friends and wear clothes like an ordinary person — we only wear squaw
dresses on certain occasions. I play all types of sports.
Presentee Do you feel that your
traditions are being kept or have they been destroyed, as your people become
more influenced by European culture?
Helen: In some families Navaho traditions
are kept — they are in my family. Other families are being influenced by white
culture, but I think it is wrong for a Navaho to be completely like a white
person. Something truly authentic must remain.
Presenter: Is English your first language?

Helen: When WELS a child, I was taught both English and Navaho. Now I have partly
forgotten the latter — I can understand almost anything but speaking or writing
may create a problem for The elders understand language best.
Presenter: What do you do on an average weekend?
Helen: go to Farmington, the nearest
large and go shopping, eat out* and then go to the movies. A great weekend
would be going to the mall where I'd, hang out with friends.
Presenter: Have you traveled much? What is your favourite
place?
Helen: Yes, I have traveled. My favourite
place ig Connecticut. I would like to go overseas some day and see how people
there, and What their lifestyle is like, Navaho people are
hospitable and welcome travelers in our land too. Presenter: Thank you, Helen.

Now we are ready to start. Speaker A

We have a great variety of food available now, but think we should care a lot
more about where our food comes from. I think it people started to buy local
and went to farmers' markets, they would be
amazed at how fresh and tasty everything is. Vegetables are the best choice
when they are in season, and simple food can be easy to prepare.
Speaker B
There are still people
who think that it costs more money than really does to eat well. It worries me
that people are happy to spend thousands of dollars on car, but don't want to
spend more than 2.50 on a chicken. We all need to be aware of what we are
putting in our mouths but we seem to attach far more importance to clothes than
food.
Speaker C
When I was a child we
used to eat healthy food without thinking about it — you could rarely see
preserved or processed food in stores. Big home-cooked family meals were central
to my childhooc:L Nowadays, while some families have kept that tradition,
generally we've lost a connection with food, and that makes me pessimistic
about our eating habits.
Speaker D
No doubt there will
always be people who prefer to eat out, and there is a place for ready-made
meals, but 1 believe we've started to understand the advantages of simple local
produce, and the harm of all these preservatives and chemicals in processed food.
We are beginning to realize that freshly prepared ingredients, cooked simply,
are much better than ready-made meals.
Speaker E
Growing your own produce
is a fantastic way to get better food. You grow what you want and, when you dig
it up, it's on the table an hour later. There are always things you can grow;
even if you don't have a garden or a piece of land — herbs in a pot on your
kitchen windowsill will make the difference in any dish you cook because they
are so fresh.
Speaker F
We are able to buy much better food then
ten years ago, but what is really missing is the culture of cooking at home. We
have two generations af children who didn't stand at their parents' Shoulders
and learn how to cook — and a few TV shows are not going to change that. Many
children, especially in big cities, don't know what flour is Where milk comes

money on Valentine cards, to say nothing of postage costs!
Mary: That's funny! I thought one was
supposed to buy and send a card to just one person. Isn't that the point?
John: It used to be, but I think not
anymore. You are expected to send cards to teachers, relatives, neighbours This
is ridiculous but be ready for some caustic comments if you forget somebody
from this list! People have completely forgotten the that there was a
time when this holiday was close to being forbidden — I guess it was in 1969.
Mary: That's sad, but you are
próbably right. For example, have you heard that, according to the
statistics, teachers receive the most Valentines, followed by kids, mothers and
only then spouses or sweethearts?
John: This doesn't surprise me at all.
Valentine's Day is probably the second largest card-sending holiday in the
world.
Mary: Only the second? How come?
John: I think you are missing Christmas,
aren't you? You know Hallmark employs 80 people every year to research the
sales pattern of previous Valentines. That is big business for
Mary: Much depends on clever advertising;
that's the fact. Do you know that in Japan after the successful campaign of a
chocolate factory, women began to give men a box of sweets for Valentine's Day?

Japan don't have to buy bunches Of

Mary: A bouquet is
important indeed. You don't want to send mixed signals with it, do you?
John: What do
you mean?
Mary; The colour of
flowers, of courset Red can mean romantic love or just deep respect. Peach

perfection and black says farewell. Imagine you mix black and red or peach and
pink.

over my head. I doubt many people Still remember these archaic rules.

Now we are ready to start.
Presenter: With us in
the studio today we have Steven Roberts, a world-recognized expert in teaching
foreign languages, Good afternoon, Steven.
Steven Roberts: Good afternoon.
Steven, everybody
wants to speak at least one foreign language. You are constantly in search of
new effective ways of teaching a foreign language. What are the most modern
ways of improving one's language skills independently?
Steven Roberts: There
are many methods indeed, but the thing I am presently researching is using
films as a teacher. Many people feel like watching the original version of a
foreign movie they liked. What I offer is a unique educational programme
accompanied by the original film in the original language with origmal
subtitles. Our programme is run entirely in foreign language and instead of
classics it introduces slang expressions, new vocabulary; modern grammar,
listening comprehension practice as well as comments by native speakers to the
audience.
Presenter: That sounds
really innovative! Can you please tell us how this idea crossed your mind?
Steven Roberts; Well,
when you start communicating with native speakers in a foreign language, you
soon decide you fluent and you have almost accomplished your goal of true
bilingualism. However, as soon as you wuteh a movie in a foreign language, you
feel lost. Films are difficult to understand precisely because they arc so real
world, at least from a linguistic perspective. This may make watching original
films very frustrating even for advanced speakers of any language, but the fact
remams that there is probably no better source of linguistic input than a good
film, if, paradoxically, you could just
understand what is being said.
Presenter: It seems to me though, not
every learner may find this programme

Steven Roberts: True. Movies are a good
tool for fluent students. They are ideal for those language learners who fall
into the linguistic zone of frustrated fluency discussed earlier. They are
designed for upper level learners for the simple reason that they will be most
effective as learning tools if you can already understand the language well
enough to generally hear where one word ends and another begins. For lower
level students, like pre-intermediate or elementary, would advise to watch
films, but not authentic, Of
Presenter: If a person cannot take part in
your programme, but still wants to try using films in their studies, what could
you recommend?
Steven Roberts: Find a group of
like-minded people and start a film club! The goals of such a club can be to
help maintain your language proficiency and to upgrade it as well to give you u
chance to enjoy original movies! In 2002 1 developed a methodology called
"Foreign Languages through Films and Media" which is a copyright and
can be got in bookstores or via Internet and used for your club's shows. Apart
from this inexpensive book and some DVDs you will not need anything — well, of
course you will need place where to meet, watch films and discuss them.
Presenter: For those who would like LO join your programme
after the interview, will you please give some contact details? Steven Roberts:
Certainly.

Now
we are ready to start. Speaker A
Right now I'm trying to find a way to
regain a healthy lifestyle despite being busy. I've completely lost the
athleticism that was large part ot my identity and I can't stand it any more.
Now I'm trying to regain general fitness. So I've been biking to work (about 20
minutes) for two months now, trying to get more veggies and whole grain in my
life, drinking lots of water, and I'm hoping to start walking more although
right now I have to work a lot and usually feel too exhausted after work to do
anything else.
Speaker B
My
name is Katie, I'm 25 years old, and I started máking 8 conscious effort
to develop healthy habits about a year ago. The first thing I did was give up
smoking. My goals are mainly Lo exercise regularly, drink enough water, and eat
fruits and veggies daily. I do keep track of what I eat with journaling
although I'm not calorie counter, and I don't own scales or restrict myself in
any way. I just want to be stronger and feel better through trying to meet
those goals every day. Now I feel  can do it.
Speaker C
A
year or so ago, I was in pretty good shape and paying a lot of attention to my
health. slipped back into inactivity and unhealthy eating for various reasons.
I miss what I had, but I've had a hard time finding the motivation to return to
my usual healthy lifestyle. Spring is just arriving — sunny sky, warmer
weather, longer days, green leaves peeking up from last season's dead grass.
The improvement in the weather is lifting my spirits, so I've decided to take
advantage of the extra energy and design for myself a spring fitness challenge.
Speaker D
I have just
realised that at least six days out of seven, I do the amount of exercise that
is recommended for those whose goal is a healthy lifestyle, just by walking
during my daily routine. About three times a week, I do more, sometimes
considerably more.
•t           201' era. nanoablE
3<3AMEHAUMOHHblE au.PVIAHTbl

Despite that, I often do myself down by telling people I
don't exercise at all. I think some part of my brain still believes that
because I'm doing it us part or my routine rather than going to any special
effort, it can't be taken into account.
Speaker E
Hi! I'm Alex. I've had terribly unhealthy
eating habits for the last few years. I never took much time to eat and ended
up eating very few meals. I'm trying to develop healthier eating habits, and I
wonder what would constitute a balanced meal. For breakfast I eat bowl of
cereal and yogurt. Then grab five pieces of fruit I divide between lunch and
dinner. It's more than I usually eat, but I know there's still a lot of room
for improvement. At the same time I'm worried about going overboard, which can
happen very easily for me.
Speaker F
I am 27 years old, and I come from a
family of rather overweight people. I've been working to live a healthy and fit
lifestyle since last December. Over the past three years, I've watched older
relatives dealing with serious health problems, and it's been a wake up call
for me to start taking of myself while I'm young and my state of health hasn't
become worse. I'd like to start a family in the next couple of years, and it
would be great to be able to keep up with my children as the years go by.

NOW
we are ready to start.
Mike: I'm 39 now and I resumed my studies
when my son started Grade One. Now I'm very happy that I made up my mind to do
this. I'll be graduating in April and hopefully start teaching high school
English in September.
Mary: What had you been doing before you went to
university?
Mike: I had been doing administrative
work for 13 years, straight out of high school. I had got very tired and fed up
with the low pay and the monotonous nature of the work. So I started
university.
Mary: That's right decision, indeed. As
for me, I went to university at more or less the normal age. I was actually 21
at the time. But did so miserably that the
•t 2CtS

university suggested that I not return.
Smce then I've been basically wasting my time.
Mike: And what are your plans?
Mary: You see, one day I
was fiddling around on the web and found some information about distance
learning. It's fabulous if you can't take the time out to go to people-ridden
classes, because you can work it around your own schedule.
Mike: Yes, think the fact
that you can do the work in your own space and your own time is really helping.
Mary: Of course, I will
have deadlines to meet, but they're not the same as the in-class sort. Handing

really handy. I will only have to contact my tutors when I want to or need to,
or when I'm required to do an oral quiz or exam.
Mike: I think it'S very
good idea. Going to university wag the best thing I have ever done. I found it
was more fun than I expected, and the benefits outweighed the disadvantages. I
learned so much about myself, and I'm very proud of my accomplishments!
Mary: And I expect my ability to study to be much better than
it used to be and things come much more easily. While I still see doing some of
the work as a chore, at least this time around I'm actually enjoying it.

Now we are ready to start.
I've lived in Denmark now
for nearly four years, and I've changed lot within this time. I've become more
fashionable, more cosmopolitan-minded, more ...Danish it I'm allowed to say
that.
But one thing hasn't
changed about me. And that is my inability to cooperate with or understand
Danish supermarket culture. As someone who was raised predominantly in the
United States, I've always been used to grocery stores with selection of food
choices so huge that it's almost perverted. That and a high level of
serviceì In an American grocery store, one can find a kind of product
with a thousand different brandings and types. For example, let's take the
flakes varieties: whole grain frosted flakes, or fat-free frosted flakes. Do I
want my cream cheese with low, medium, or tull fat? Seedless watermelons or
watermelons with seeds? That being said, when  walk into a Danish
grocery store I want to burst into tears because I'm so bored with the
selection. The variety of cereals consists of Cherrios, Honey•nut Cherrios,

and Wheaties. Coco-puffs if I'm lucky. There're few fruits
and vegetables, most rotten. I'm telling you, everything is so boring and plain
and demanding of hard kitchen labour that you just wish some American food
companies could establish factories here and import some ready made dinners.
I know I should be ashamed Of saying
this, but I do miss American convenience. In Denmark, making a homemade meal
requires at least 30 dollars spent at the grocery store and 2 hours in the
kitchen. For instance, at my locål grocery store, nothing is allowed to
be under 4 dollars. That's right, it's called organic and healthy food, free of
anything synthetic or  But I do miss synthetic food.
Oh yes, the whole Danish,
"do-it-yourself" attitude prevails! Expect to stress while bagging
all of your food, as no ong will do it for you.
The only way to really understand what I
mean is Lo imagine that if you've come from America and you're used to certain
things with service and product selection and then you move here — it truly is
different in Denmark. And I've lived elsewhere in Europe (Iceland, England,
Spain) and still find the grocery stores much better and with more selection in
those countries.
However, how could anyone take me serious
when I say, "I miss synthetic food"? That is purely attempting to be
sarcastic, and I see that it is wrong and disgusting that American food is
pumped up with so much erap. I really appreciate that in Denmark the food is
free of everything artificial and it shows on Danes — most of them look healthy
and fit here. But once in a while I miss the vastness of an American grocery
store!
I want to add that I am Danish, was born
in Denmark, lived here for 5 years as a child and then moved to America where I
lived most of my life. I moved back here a few yeurs Ago and I love the
country. I speak Danish. I'm not an immigrant in Denmark who is unsatisfied
with way Of life and Who should move back to the States. I'm a student and of
course it takes 2 hours to make a meal on my own.

Now we arc ready to start.
Speaker A
Hi! What's
your favourite book? A book that you love because it inspires you, or changed
your life? What l t d like to do is go to a secondhand book store,
pick up  book that maybe I have read or maybe I
haven't, purchase it, read it, then leave it someplace else for someone else to
find and read and pass on. I know lot Of times things like that don't work —
people don't read them or pass them on. But oddly, I can't explam why, I have
the urge to do it. Maybe this happens because I love books and want everyone to
try them.
Speaker B
I enjoy one book very
much. I have read it at least 20 times and it is always wonderful. Every time I
read the novel as if I have no idea of what happens on its pages and I never
bored with it. It is truly a success story about a woman who managed to do well
despite her poor environment. Sometimes the author becomes a bit wordy but it is
a stunning mevnoir. I adore reading memoirs such gg these about strong people
who endure and do well despite their circumstances. They teach us to be strong
and to resist any problems.
Speaker C
I've been reading
"Bleak House" for some time now, over a month l t d
estimate, and probably closer to 6 weeks. I'm half way through, and I find it
difficult to enjoy. Dickens's convoluted way of getting to the point seems
little mollified by the beautiful language, and although the dialogue is
thoroughly enjoyable, I can't help but want to explore other books. This is my
first time reading Dickens but I remember feeling this way to a much lesser
extent with some other books which didn't have the lure of language to keep me
interested.

Speaker D
At a message board I go to they've been
polling to see what books everyone has read. The participants are mostly 18 to
22 year old guys who play video games and like reading, so whole thing is
slanted towards high-school  stuff and sci•fi/fantasy. Not exactly
scientific or representative of your average American, but still somewhat
interesting. I wonder to what extent books can keep young people interested in
other parts of the world and if their preferences vary to a greater degree.
Speaker E
I'm going to make a trip to the used
bookstore to get rid of some books I have and probably pick some books up at
the same time. The problem is, I'm awful at trying to figure out what books to
get rid Of. I have tnatiÿ books that I've read and probably won't reread but
I have a hard time getting rid of them because the majority of them are
hardback and they cost a lot. The worst ones are books that I haven't finished
but promised to get back to and I think I never will. I'm good at convincing
myself to keep books at home.
Speaker F
This might seem a
little weird and hard for me to explain, but bear with me. I was checking out
movies and books with philosophical concepts, and I came across a list with
existentialist concepts. I realized that I've seen or read, and enjoyed, most
Of the stuff on the list. I've already read "Crime and Punishment" by
Dostoevsky and find it deep philosophical book really makes you think when you
read What looking for now are books that can explam
in a simple way what the basics of existentialism are.

Tom: I was an exchange student in Denmark
in 2005 and hnd an absolutely awfúl experience with any host family and
my school. They weren't the friendliest of people.
Jack: Oh really? Well, with me there were things that
made me a bit sad but in general I enjoyed being there. Yes, I know, people can
seem a little cold and, yes, even rude.

Tom: That's it. And in my very first week
I got insulted by a bus driver when I was trying to clip my card. Of course it
can happen anywhere, but it was a bit sad that no one batted an eyelid.
Jack: It's something I experienced as well, to be honest, but
Scandinavians seem to be very sensitive underneath the shell. The harder the shell
is, it seems, the more fragile underneath. It's a new set of social rules we
need to learn, I guess, when we go to a different country.
Tom: You're right, of course. And despite
all my problems, I miss Denmark so much, it's like having a constant stomachache.
Jack: 1 know what you mean. There are
things that I really love there. First, the tap water is drinkable. Then the
Metro is gorgeous. It's a pleasure to go by train, as the trains are cute
inside.
Tom: What is more, the sky is often
starry, because there's little pollution. The air is pretty good. The thing is,
I haven't been happy since I returned home to the States. I've gotten to the
point that I consider myself more Danish than 1 do American. But I wonder if it
will be difficult to make new friends.
Jack: I have friends who live there now
who say it's quite hard to make friends or get into their circle. But, I think,
it depends.
Tom: Ideally I plan to move in January. Yes, I know it's the
coldest month but if I don't do it then, I'll get all wrapped up in our city's
big spring festival and then the football season begins, then my birthday you
get the idea — and never . Jack: Yes, and this will also give you enough time
to get a visa.

Now we are ready to start.
Today I bought "The Ecological
Calendar" that has peculiar formatting on its title. The calendar is
apparently available in a few different formats. The one I've bought is a
weekly planner for 2007, although it starts at the Winter Solstice, so it
includes part of December too. It's partly in the standard Gregorian format, so
I don't have to worry about making mistakes in it that take away from its
usefulness. In 1997, I had a weekly planner where the week started with Monday
instead of Sunday, as it does in some countries, and that little change caused
a lot of havoc in any kind of scheduling that I tried to do,
However, it pairs the usual Gregorian
calendar with a lot of information about the astronomical and seasonal changes
that are happening at that time of year, so that you get the feeling of being
connected to the grand eyeles of nature. What the plants

and animals are doing, when you can look
for meteor showers, that sort of thing; it's quite detailed.
This calendar concept is
the one that is dear to me. It's part of what I was trying to accomplish when I
was working on my own calendar project called "The Book of Days",
which was supposed to give a sense of the passage of time so that egeh part of
the year is meaningfål. It would describe the patterns common among all
cultures such as the psychological need for relief from the darkest part of
winter, and most cultures say that the veil between our world and the other
world is thinner at a certain time of the year, even though they don't all
agree on when that is. It would tell about the cycles in nature such as
seasons, and any light-hearted contemporary events such as Rabbit Hole Day. It
didn't just list events, it drew connections between them so that. you can get
a feel for the significance of the current time.

However, "The Book of Days" was a very time-consuming thing to try
and work on every day. I'd hoped that it would become a voluntary group project
and thus would lessen the load of each contributing individual, but other
people seemed to lack interest. I managed it for several months, but it was too
much for one person to manage alone. Eventually had to let them go off it for
more important projects.  still want to see something like
"The Book of Days". That's why I'm so glad to see that someone else
has executed a similar project, "The Ecological Calendar".
I also like the idea Of
redefining the scope Of time that we perceive that I have found in "The
Clock of The Long Now", a book I'm in the middle of reading and which has
already made a huge impressuan on me. That book argues that we need to expand
our coneept of time which looks not only at the present, back into the past and
into the future at least century each, but which encourages to learn from the
past as well as consider our impact on future generations.
So for 2007, I'll be
completely redefining my perception of time to make it more meaningful,
although that's something I've been working on for a while now, since calendars
fascinate me.

Speaker A

What is something really troubles me? Well, like everyone else these days I
worry about earning enough to pay my monthly bills, my rent and all the other
current living expenses. want to be secure for the future and make sure will
have everything I need and maybe start saving some money. I am so afraid of
losing everything I own.
Speaker B
What do I worry about?
Oh, a lot of different things — money, politics, the weather, But my greatest
concern is my mum and dad. I have a good job with a foreign firm and I am
living overseas at the moment. I am so worried about them. I'm afraid they won't
be able to deal with all their problems. If anything happens to them when I'm
away, I won't be able to come back home quickly enough to help.
Speaker C
I think my biggest worry
today is my career. 26 and spent the last few years travelling. Most of my university
friends have settled down. They work hard and have made good start to their
careers. So I began to worry that when I go back home I will be too old for
companies to want me. What shall I do then? That's a tough question. I do not
want to be unemployed.
Speaker D
Every time I look in the mirror I feel nervous. am afraid of
getting fat ag I love pizza and hamburgers. I like shopping lot and always buy
sweets. I know I shouldn't, but I can't help it. Like any other woman in her
thirties, I am really afraid of gaining extra kilograms,
But I just can't say "no" to
cakes and sweets. Who can?t
Speaker E
What am I afraid of? Well, recently I
visited a friend of mine in Shanghai and she made a comment that I thought was
very interesting. She said I look as though I have plenty of money. I don't,
but compared to ordinary people in the street I look like I have a lot Of
money. I am really afraid Of thinking that I have a lot of money and trying to
rob me, especially if they have a gun. I have a little bit of paranoia about
guns and robbers.
Speaker F
I guess I worry about the usual things,
like getting in shape for the summer or being healthy and fit. I think being
healthy is the most important thing. So I exercise regularly and watch what I
eat. You know it's all about getting the right amount of vitamins, minerals,
and fibre. I need this body to last at least another fifty

Sabrina: Hi, Fred. This
is almost the end of the year, so tell met how was your year?
Fred: Oh, I've
experienced a lot and undertaken lot of new responsibilities. I'd say my life
has changed fundamentally. I became a father and I feel proud and happy about
that. I also tried a new job in the construction business. And, you know, I
Look part in a very unusual project — it was not connected with finance or
business. But it was very rewarding.
Sabrina: What was it?
Fred: I tried working With children,
actually, it was amazing.
Sabrina: What was it exactly that you did
when you worked with children?
Fred: Basically, it was
in a rehabilitation center for disabled children. I spent two days a week with
them — actually I attended classes with them and just played with them,
interacted with them during the day and supervised their weekend activities.
Sabrina: Oh, that sounds really great.
Fred: Yes. It was the
first time I had done something like that. It was quite challenging because was
a bit afraid at first. I wasn't sure how to treat them.
I wasn't sure what exactly I should do. There was something
about those children that made them different. One minute they were depressed
and the next they became very excited. But the instructors were very nice and
they explained that, you know, I had to be myself and treat them like any other
children, like normal children, and that's what I tried my best to do.
Sabrina: So you must have learned so
much. It probably changed your attitude to a lot of things.
Fred: Yes, it has. It has really changed
me because I have more patience now, Earlier, I mean, I used to be quite
stubborn and used to make decisions irrationally, But now I've calmed down and
I always question myself before doing something, so I think, in that way I've
completely changed.
Sabrina: Could you say that what you've
learned through your experience of working with children bus also helped you in
other areas of your life?
Fred: Apart from developing a more
patient side, I've mastered some nursing skills. You know, now I know how to
take care of my baby son.
Sabrina: OK, I feel that I can learn a
lot from you and maybe I should do the same thing — become more rounded person.
Fred: You should.
Sabrina: Well, Fred. I'm just curious. What is it like
being a father?

Fred: Ah, right. I think I should talk about what it like not being a father,
being me and not being a father, I was a very lazy person. I was an incredible
time waster. I would have all this free time to make use of and I would
probably just sit in front of TV, or I'd probably go to a Plib — I loved
spending time with my friends in the warm and friendly atmosphere of a pub.
Anyway, I took time for granted. I had so much of it. Once I became a father,
suddenly my time disappeared but strangely enough, it taught me to appreciate
the time I have. My time is very limited now. I am lot busier at work and I
have more responsibilities than ever before. I also have to help my wife at
home and make time for charity activities. I actually make much more use of my
time now than ever before. And I still go Lo the sports centre and play paint
ball with my friends.
Sabrina: Yeah, so when you first have a kid do you lose a
lot of sleep?
Fred: Well, something that carried over
from my previous lifestyle was an ability to sleep very well whatever the
circumstances and, um, fortunately I have a very understanding wife so if the
child wakes up during the night, she looks after him and doesn't wake me up. I
have to work hard during the day and need some rest, least at night. I am never
home before 8 in the evening. Anyway, I'm such a good sleeper even if he
cried for hours, it wouldn't wake me up. I don't think there are many fathers
like me. I've spoken to some other fathers and they don't have the same talent
as I do.

Speaker A

Perhaps the greatest problem that people have today is lack of free time.
Whether they work or study, people always seem have too much to do and too
little time to manage it all. The harder they work the more they still have to
do. Most people simply react to what is happening around them instead of
prioritizing. It's important to decide which task you should do first, and
which can wait and come next. This is a key to good time management.
Speaker B
What is important in time management is
finding harmony. In your weekly schedule there must be some time for studies,
communicating With relatives and friends, sport, hobbies and so on.
Calculate how much time you've spent on each sphere of your life weekly• Buying
diary may be of great help in dividing your time more efficiently.
Speaker C
Time is the most valuable thing you have.
What's interesting — it can't be saved — all work demands time. So rngnuging
time is a core skill upon which everything else in life depends, During
different periods of your life, set different big goals and priorities. Right
now the top one is education. Later there will be other important ones. But
each time choose and concentrate on one particular thing that is crucial at the
moment!
Speaker D
In your daily life there are so many demands
on your time trom other people that very little of your time can be used as you
choose. Preparing for test, meetmg a deadline with a project can distract you
from your personal goals. Have you watched that film you have been interested
in for weeks? Have you had long chat with your granny over the phone? In other
words do you find time for doing what you want to do? If not, you should
probably reconsider your time management.

Speaker E
I have read in a book on time management
that hard time always pushes out soft time. This means that if you didn't do
something because you didn't use your time well, you take the necessary time
from another activity important for you and this may irritate you. So
concentrate on any work you are doing and do not waste minutes. When you work —
work hard but play hard
Speaker F
Many people believe time is not a
resource as it only exists in our mind. But I consider time an important
resource. It's pity it's wasted because we do not think about our biological
rhythm. Why should we all go to school at 8 AM? There are so many people who
can really take in information only after lunch! The same activity ran take you
two hours in the morning and just about half an hour in the evening or vice
versa! I always try to use thig important concept.

Kelly: Hey, Peter, why don't we go to the cinema together
over the weekend?
Peter: I don't like cinemas. There are
crowds of people with pop corn and soda, and mobile phones will go off every
now and then. It is difficult to concentrate. I would rather rent a DVD.
Kelly: Good idea! Let's watch this new
Indian film which was released last month, Do you like Indian films?
Peter: I have never watched single
Bollywood film before so I really do not know. I hear they are very long and
boring.
Kelly: will agree with you about the
length but this is because of the amount of the song material. Besides, it is a
cultural thing — when Indians go out for an evening's entertainment, they want
saga, a drama, a life story — all in one and with some comical episodes as well.
It is problematic to put all these aspects into 90 minutes, you know.
Peter: I see. Well, guess singing and
dancing must be a great strength of Indian commercial cinema, When actors show
extreme emotions, just facial expressions may not be enough.
Kelly: Exactly. Songs and dances make the message loud and
clear. Of course, it's not real — after all, who breaks out in synchronized
dances with many extras when one is happy? But this is a characteristic Of
Indian cinema.
Peter: What is the mam theme of Indian
films?
Kelly; Well, India
cannot be considered a rich country but movies show an image of the
upper-middle or rich classes. Most Indian people live a life which is
completely different from what is there on the screen. This makes these films
so attractive und bright.
Peter: How odd!
Kelly; I say, Peter, you mentioned
"Bollywood films". What do you mean?
Peter: Don't you know?
It is one of the largest film producers in the world three films a day are
finished there, which makes it about a 1000 films a year — can you imagine? The
name is a combination of Bombay where the studio is situated and Hollywood.
Kelly: I didn't know       so, what
is your decision? Peter: Well, let's go to the rental shop, shall we?

Now
we are ready to start.
Presenter: For half a year, Sharon Trollope is a stay-at-home
mother. But the rest of the time, she's an aid worker in desperate situations
around the globe, We asked her to describe how her family copes with the
change.
Sharon: For every working mother, that moment when you open
the front door at the end of n long, hard day, and see your children hurtling
down the hallway towards you it makes your heart skip. But for me it's extra
special because by the time I reach my front door it is often more than a month
since I saw them,
For almost three years,
I've been on call as a British Red Cross aid worker. The phone rings and —
sometimes within 48 hours — I'm on a flight to wherever my skills are needed
most. For up to SIX months Of every year, I'm on the other Side Of the world,
working in desperate situations. Meanwhile, home alone in the Catswolds, my
husband Julian copes heroically with a sudden switch to life as a single dad to
Rowan, who is 11, and Finnian, who is seven, and Orla, six.
Although I try never to
be awny for longer than five weeks, that is still a painfully long time to be
separated from them all, and I know it's very hard on them too. Julian does a
fantastic job on his own with them — while holding down a job as a computer
scientist — but five weeks is as long as any of us can manage, practically and
emotionally.
At the most recent school parents'
evening, Orla's teacher took me to one side and said that she had been very
withdrawn during my last stint in Haiti. thought felt as guilty as it was
possible to feel about it, but at that moment my heart sank to a new low,
Presenter: so, how do you feel about it?
Sharon: I do feel guilty about leaving
them, about not being there and not talking to them every day.
Presenter: Then why do you do it to them,
and to your poor husband, and yourself? Sharon: The answer is because I have no
doubt — on all but the most exhausting days in the field — that the benefits to
us all far outweigh the downsides.
After my family, aid work is what I urn
most passionate about. I have a degree in development studies and Masters in
irrigation, and soon as I graduated I started working abroad, But then, later
in my twenties, I met Julian and realised that I wanted to have a family, I decided
I'd better switch from aid work to teaching, to make it possible. I taught for
a short while but my heart was never in it. When Rowan, our eldest was about
one, I got a job with the British government in Botswana, so we moved there as
family for a year.
With just one, very small, child, it was
possible to live that life. But as our second and third children came along, I
felt as though I had to accept that aid work and motherhood simply don't mix. I
was unemployed for a number of years and although I loved being a mum, I felt
that having lost my work I'd lost a really big part of who

I
was,
Was it easy, to find yourself again?
Sharon: Well, even if you're keen to
return to the field, as a woman with children it's very hard to find agencies
willing to take you on. The job requires the kind of flexibility and commitment
a lot 0t men and women With families would struggle to meet. But Julian saw how
important it was for me to get back to doing what I do. I was qualified to do
Lit and, until I became a mother I had relished the challenges that every
assignment threw ut me,
He saw the effect that not being able to
do it was having on me. It changed me. My confidence was sapped and I felt so
frustrated. Thankfully, he didn't want having had kids to cut me off from such
an Important part of my life. We didn't want to set that example for the kids.
He wanted to find a way to make it work, and without his support it just
wouldn't have been possible. you have 15 seconds to complete the task. (Pause

Now we are ready to start.
Speaker A
I love readingì I read detective
and spy stories, novels, and romantic and fantasy stories. If I'm stuck on
train or waiting for something and don't have anything to read, I feel
terrible. So something that I spend a lot of money on would probably be books.
I always buy a lot of books, magazmes and reader's digests. And I keep all of
them at home — my mum says it's horrible. Also lots of my money goes on audio
books. I always share them with friends. Em.„ it's kind of an exchange.
Speaker B
Oh, you know, shiny things really attract
me. Every time I have some extra money,  buy bracelets,
rings, earrings or necklaces. I wear them everywhere and every day. If I'm
shopping somewhere and there is something flashy shining at me, I usually stop
and look and very often a salesperson can talk me into buying it. It's crazy I
know. I also love buying books but I don't spend so much on them. Speaker C
Ah, spend money mostly on um... going out,
like going to restaurants or clubs, and things like that. I am a party person,
love hanging out with friends. I don't actually buy a lot of things, like
electronics, books or CDs. I just spend money on going out with my friends, on
food and drinks for parties. I really love chatting, dancing and making jokes.

Speaker D
Something I probably
spend too much on is clothes. guess because am a girl,  think of shopping as
a fun pastime and I find it relaxing. Actually I call it •shopping therapy' to
go and buy some new clothes. I often go alone — I don't need anyone to advise
me. I'd say I love the process of choosing and buying things. It really makes
me feel good.
Speaker E
If I had the money I
wanted, I would like to go and spend two weeks at every famous place on Earth.
I love traveling in comfort, Nowadays it's very expensive. I read travel
magazines and surf the Internet for information about different tours, hotels
and sights — and now I know how I want to travel. That's what I'd spend my
money on if I could.
Speaker F
I usually don't spend
that money on anything like jewellery or clothes. But then if there is one big
expense, it is food. like desserts, especially ice cream, so when I go out for
dinner I definitely have a dessert afterwards. I can't live without cakes,
candies, chocolates and things like that. Who can?

Now we are ready to start.
Int: Today in the studio we are talking
to Ben Zephani, an activist and member of the environmental group the Green
Belt Movement in Kenya. Welcome Ben.
Ben: Thank you.
Int: Well, you know, people nowadays talk
a lot about environmental issues. There is great concern about wildlife and the
future of the National Parks in Kenya. What's happening there?
Ben: One of the most serious
environmental problems we are facing today ig deforestation, which really
affects both wildlife and people living around the forests. People need land
for their own purposes, like growing crops and raising cattle. So they come,
seize pieces of land, cut down trees and start cultivating the land. So

many animals were, kind of, forced away'
They had to leave their native habitats and find new hunting areas... That's
not really a nice thing.
Int: And what's
happening to the people who actually live around the forest area? Ben: You know
when you tend to interfere in a wild animal's habitat you somehow create an
imbalance between people and animals. And sometimes it'S not really a nice
thing because animals tend to come close to where people live, which is really
threatening.
Intt So, do they attack people?
Bent Not that they
really attack settlements but they do come in paekg, groups, prides or herds
constantly migrating from one place to another because of deforestation. so
people are vulnerable at any time.
Int: You mean, if I lived
there, I could be chased by an angry rhinoceros or an elephant?
Bent No, actually they
don't chase people because most of the time they just pass by. But at times you
come into contact with an unusual animal. You know animals live in packs, so
when one animal ig rejected from its pack, it'S an angry animal. It cannot join
the other packs so it attacks anything and is extremely dangerous. It should
not be disturbed. People can do nothing to help it. Anyone who dares to
approach it is certainly doomed.
Int: Wow! Sounds
horrible! I suppose no one would dare to try to catch these wild animals...
Well, but what actually causes deforestation?

Ben: People burn wood to produce charcoal and sell it, because, as you know,
people there have very poor living conditions, and they try hard to earn an
extra dime to support their families. Charcoal is in great demand for cooking
and other odd jobs, so people don't even have to travel anywhere to sell it.
It's 8 good job. But it's so destructive.
Int: So what's being
done to try and remedy this, or to try and counterbalance the effect?
Ben: There are three or
four large activist groups that are coming together to discuss how to reduce
damage to the environment. You all know the Nobel Prize winner Wanggri MaaLhai
who is a leader of the Green Belt Movement in Kenya, She's been trying to
discourage people from destroying forests for a long time and to explain what
deforestation does to country and the environment in general and how it affects
people in the forest areas. She teaches people to adjust to new conditions and
environments. She moves with the times. Wangari supports National parks,
conservation areas and safari parks in the country. She helps organize small
businesses to learn to earn from ecotourism in the forest areas.
Int: Look, I've always
wanted to go to Africa and I'm just wondering, if that whole safari business
...is really good; if everything you see on the BBC Wildlife channel, you know,
documentaries, is true to life.
Ben: It's not a cliché,
but it's something you have to experience when you get there on safari. The BBC
has never lied to their viewers.
Int: Wow: So I could be
just out there driving around in my car and on my own just seeing all those
animals?
Ben: I am afraid they
won't let you drive in your own car. They provide services for you. We have in
Kenya un institute called the K WS: the Kenya Wildlife Service and it hag its
own wardens that are highly trained to protect you when you're in the forest.
You just say where and when you want to go, what places and animals you

would like to see. Tours are kind of regulated. For example,
you will never be allowed to come close to feeding the animals. All right.

NOW we are ready to
Speaker A
My cat is rather special. She understands
perfectly well when I ask her to come and sit with me, but she can pretend that
she doesn't hear. And she always knows which of the people that I invite to my
home are okay and which ones aren't. And when I have a headache in the evening
she comes and sleeps over my head. I sometimes ask myself how she knows that I
have a headache.
Speaker B
When I was years old, my mum found a
kitten in the street and brought it home. so, the kitten and I grew up
together! I remember that every night the cat would scratch at rny door and let
her in. She waited for me to come home from school to be with her and liked
watching me, as I was doing my homework. She lived 8 years. And she was truly
my cat. I really miss her much.

Speaker C
The thing I love about
cats is the way they look. Their eyes are big and the colour is deep — blue
like Sky, green like leaves or brown like amber. Their fur can be long or
short, and if you treat your cat well, its fur will look shiny and rich. I haven't
seen a combination of colours that looked bad on cats — black and white, gray
and white, orange and white — they all look perfect.
Speaker D
The best thing about
cats is that they're wonderful to talk to when you're sad or angry and you
can't control your emotions. Cats won't talk back while you are talking to
them, and will listen intently. They make me laugh when I'm in a bad mood, they
comfort me when I'm sick. And when I'm happy they start playing with me and we
all have lots Of fun.
Speaker E
Although I have had many
cats, ror everyone Of them there is a reason why we found each other. Now have
three cats. One of them is the boss of my other cats. The second one is very
smart and likes open doors. And the third one thinks that the world turns
around her and she is very proud of herself. All of my cats are very  to
me because each of them has her or his own character. They are great part of my
life:
Speaker F

What like about cats is that they can take care of themselves. You don't have
to take cat out for a walk several times a day, You don't need to wash them too
often, because they clean themselves, Cats can play on their own and don't require
too much of your attention. They can spend most of the time sleeping. And they
even can get their own food by catching mice and spiders.

NOW
we are ready start.
Philip: Ellent come here and stand by the
back door. Look at the rain.
Ellen; This is quite a stormt It's good
to be home in such a nasty weather.
Philip: Remember the
last time we had thunder and lightning like tins? The old cherry tree we had in
our back yard was struck by lightning. I was afraid the nearby
Era. TEMATMHECKL•IE

trees would also catch fire. If I'm not mistaken it was two
or three years ago. We lost our electrical power as well.
Ellent Luckily, it wag in the middle of
the day. Having no electricity at night is a lot different from having none
during the day.
Philip: We must have talked about that
because I remember going out the next day to buy box of candles — just in case
of a power failure.
Ellen: Well, let's hope that doesn't
happen tonight and we won't need them. Shall I call your friend Mark and ask
him for dinner? He is a good Storyteller and it would be nice to hear one of
hig stories.
Philipt Why not? Would you hand me the
electric mixer, please? I forgot to finish mashing the potatoes.
Ellen: Here you are.
Phili1Ÿ Thanks.
                                  Ellen: There go the lights.
It            happened again, We've got no electricity'
Philipt I can't see a thing. I guess, no mashed potatoes
for dinner today.
Ellen: Philip, why don't you call the
power company? Téll them we have a problem on Linden Street. And I'll
light the candles if I manage to find a box of matches in the cupboard. Here
they are. Philip, doesn't the kitchen look great in candlelight?
Philip: It does... I called the company.
They already know about the electrical problem. A tree fell onto a power line
on the next street. People from nearby houses called them. They don't know how
long the lights will be out.

Ellen: Philip, I just thought about Mrs. Romero. She's quite old, and she lives
all alone in that big house. Wouldn't she be more comfortable spending the
evening With
Philip: Ellent set another place for dinner. I'll go and
invite her over right now.

Now we
are ready to start.
Interviewer; With us today is Cynthia
Barnes, a travel writer. Cynthia, how did you happen to become a travel writer?
Let's start with a bit of history. Tell us about your childhood.
Cynthia: I grew up in a small town in the
state of Arkansas with kids who had never been to any other places and who
desperately wanted to see the world. They used to invent adventures for
themselves in order to make up for the monotony of their real life. But I was
lucky. My mom used to go on business trips to the neighbouring states and once
in a while she took me with her' They were real
nPWIO*EHVlq

adventures and, I delighted but it had
always been my dream Co go to the far Off countries I had read about in the
'National Geographic' magazines. There were piles of them in dad's Study as
well unlimited supply Of books about explorations and adventures.
Interviewer:
What do you usually feel before you set out on a journey?
Cynthia: I remember
when I was little the night before we'd leave for a trip I had an absolutely
unforgettable feeling — that 'can't•sleep, butterfly feeling'. I couldn't wgit
to go, It'S Still With me today.
Interviewer: And how did you get started
writing?
Cynthia: I have
alwgyg been writing. I even won Daughters Of the American Revolution poetry
contest in the fifth grade, and they gave me a fifty dollar saving bond. It was
a, childish little poem that. began; 'Our nation, it was founded by brave
people long ago Then I moved to Columbia and fell in with a group of writers...
Actually after school, all my jobs eventually were about producing newsletters,
correcting ads, rewriting bad brochures. I've always kept journals, written
letters, played around with personal essays. I never stopped writing, can't do
without it. It's in my blood.
Interviewer: You
spend most of your life travelling. What do you do when you don't travel?
Cynthia; If I don't travel, I write. But I don't stop
travelling, to be honest. I travel everywhere at any time and in any possible
way: by car, by plane, by horse or camel, by canoe or simply on foot.

Interviewer: Is it the major challenge for you as a travel writer?
Cynthia: Well, you
see, travelling is a great pleasure and a thrill for me although some of my
friends find it tiring to be constantly away from home for a long time,  like
meeting new people, hearing their stories, tasting their food. But writers need
time alone to reflect what they have seen, what they have heard. And that's
where the problem lies. In a story, a lot depends on whether you can balance your
own solitary exploration and other people' stories. When you're with others,
you're distracted. But when you're by yourself, you have only your own
impressions and observations and they can be misleading.
Interviewer: What was the most thrilling
experience you had as a traveller?
Cynthia: It was an
incredible expedition together with two adventurous travellers. We went to the
rainforest in New Guinea, the most remote forest on Earth, We trekked across
the island and lived with the local tribe. They are hunters, they live in total
isolation from rest Of the world. Their only tools are Stone axes and arrows.
To survive in the jungle with them was a hard-core challenge. We had to learn
how to eat insects as we simply couldn't hunt even small wild animals the way
they do. But in tact the biggest challenge was to establish contacts with the
local tribe. You see, when we arrived, they met us with arrows, which they
pointed at our heads very aggressively. It wasn't the
kind of greeting we were used to, We didn't know g word in their language to
speak to them, to ask them what all these rituals meant. We had to learn all
this stuff to survive, to watch our gestures and tone of voice or would dig in
the jungle.
Interviewer: What
advice would you give to someone Who is considering going into travel writing?
Cynthia: It's great
work... but it's work. It's also an obligation. You are in charge of what you
write. Maybe your reader will never go to a place you're writing about

but he has always dreamt about it. Don't
sell yourself or your observations short. And never ever trade your stories for
TV clips. Writing is not about bargaining or getting profits. Telling stories
about travel ig an honorable profession. Mark Twain was a travel writer. So was
Hemingway.
Interviewer: What is the biggest reward
of life as a travel writer?
Cynthia: I sometimes go
to luxury resorts to write stories about the area. Of course I'm kidding
(laughs). You see, I've watched the sunrise on the Pacific coast and seen the
Grand Canyon under g full moon. I saw fascinating sights in these places, the views.
But most valuable is the incredible generosity and the spirit of the people
I've met on my routes. It's the biggest blessing to have a glimpse into their
lives. This is what makes me stay in my business.
You have 15 seconds to complete the task.
(Pause 15 seconds.)
Now you will hear the text again. (Repeat)
This is the end of the task. You now have
15 seconds to check your answers.
(Pause 15 seconds.)
