The
lift had only gone down one floor when it made a strange noise and stopped.
Tina couldn't believe it. She started shouting for help. Suddenly, she heard a
man's voice. "Don't worry," he said. "I'll get help."
Last
Saturday morning, when Tina got out of bed she was jumping for joy. It was the
first day of her holidays. She had been looking forward to her summer holiday
in Hawaii all year and now she was just about to leave. So, feeling very cheerful,
she quickly got dressed. "Hawaii, here I come!" she shouted as she
got into the lift and pressed the button.
[_@E]
When she finally arrived at the airport, her flight had already left. All she
could do was return home, feeling angry and upset. But later, as she was
watching the news on TV, she got the shock of her life! Her flight to Hawaii
had crashed in the sea because of engine problems! Amazingly, none of the
passengers were seriously injured, but Tina couldn't believe how lucky she had
been to miss her flight.
Tina
had to wait a very long time before the lift repairman arrived. When she
finally got out of the lift, she looked at her watch. She didn't have much time
to get to the airport. She quickly jumped in a taxi. But then she found herself
stuck in a traffic jam!

  Гриффин был
  ученым. В университете он изучал биологию, химию и физику и теперь хотел
  начать заниматься научными исследованиями и стать знаменитым. Он проводил
  эксперименты со светом. Молодой ученый работал штатным ассистентом профессора
  в лаборатории, и все время проводил там. Он поставил много опытов, прежде чем
  достиг результатов. Гриффин был настоящим изобретателем — он мог лобую вещь
  сделать невидимой (invisНе). Он думал, что получит все, о чем мечтал,
  благодаря своему изобретению, поэтому он превратил себя в невидимку. Он хотел
  представить свое открытие всему научному миру, но, чтобы сделать это, он
  должен был быть виден, а этого он сделать не смог. Он злился на людей, потому
  что никто не поддержал его экспериментов. а он теперь не мог вернуться а

  Он стал «человеком-невидимкой», и все боялись его. Его открытие не послужило

1.   В последнее десятилетие
  наводнения, засухи, ЦИКЛОНЫ, цунами и торнадо стали частым явлением. Много
  людей из разных стран мира пострадало и даже погибло по их причине.
  Землетрясения в наши дни более опасны, чем в прошлом. так как половина
  населения планеты живет в городах. Серьезные землетрясения случались з
  Турции, Греции, Центральной Америке. В 2001 году землетрясение полностью
  разрушило город Эль-Сальвадор, который в то время восстанавливали жители
  после сильнейшего урагана 1 998 года. Природа как будто мстит нам (turns оп
  us). Мы загрязнили воздух, воду и почву, мы сбрасываем тонны отходов в воду,
  наши заводы выбрасывают различные газы в атмосферу. Планета становится
  теплее. В результате более теплый океан порождает разрушительные цунами.
  циклоны и ураганы. Правительства всех стран ДОлжны задуматься, как защитить
  планету, очистить ее от мусора, создать благоприятную среду обитания для
  людей и животных.
2.   Наша деятельность часто зависит
  от погоды. Погода — это, так сказать, «настроение» атмосферы. Метеорологи
  используют современные технологии, чтобы составить прогноз погоды. Но природа
  сама является орудием предсказания погодных изменений. Нам стоит понаблюдать
  за облаками, поведением животных и растений. Так, если закат красный, то
  будет ветрено. Зимой голубое небо — к теплу, светлое к морозу, темное — к
  бурану.

First of all, tourists should visit their
  doctors, Their doctors WII see if they need any vaccinations based on Where
  they are going. Travellers should also make sure they take any required
  medication and a firstaid kit with them when they travel abroad.
In addition. since it is possible for
  travellers to fall ill even before they land. they must remember that
  drinking water and getting exercise during long flights is important. If not,
  they risk the possibility of developing cramps or even serious health problems.
  To avoid this. stretching every hour and drinking plenty of fluids is highly
  recommended.
For the most part, it Is important for
  traveliers to watch what they eat and drink while on holiday. At least 20% of
  tourists get food poisoning. This happens because many make the mistake of

  - Привет, Володя. Как ты сдал математику? — Мне повезло, достались вопросы,
  которые я знал. А ты? - Не очень хорошо. Я запутался в двух вопросах, и
  только третий знал хорошо. — Почему так получилось? — Математика не очень
  хорошо мне дается, и у меня было мало времени, чтобы все повторить. — Не
  расстраивайся. Следуощий экзамен у нас физика. Ты любишь этот предмет и
  подготовишься лучше.
