ПРЕДИСЛОВИЕ
Предисловие
Учителю
Сегодня в общественном сознании происходит переход от понимания социального назначения школы как простой передачи знаний, умений и навыков от учителя к ученику к новому пониманию функции школы. Приоритетной целью школьного образования становится развитие у учащихся способности самостоятельно ставить учебные цели, проектировать пути их реализации, а также контролировать и оценивать свои достижения. Иначе говоря, формирование умения учиться.
Предлагаемый сборник дополнительных заданий в формате ГИА — новый компонент УМК «Английский в фокусе» для 6 класса. Создание этого пособия является откликом на учительский запрос о расширении арсенала заданий в формате государственной итоговой аттестации по английскому языку за курс основной школы, которые помогут обеспечить более последовательную, постепенную, глубокую подготовку к экзамену, и не только.
 |
Контрольно-измерительные
материалы ГИА по английскому языку — в их нынешнем виде (2012) - составлены с
учётом многолетнего опыта международных языковых экзаменов, где проверке
подлежат конкретные речевые умения, обеспечивающие успешность в ситуациях
реальной коммуникации, в том числе межкультурной. Кодификатор ГИА 2012 носит
содержательнодеятельностный характер, отражая основную предметную цель —
развитие иноязычной коммуникативной компетенции. Определение уровня иноязычной
коммуникативной компетенции осуществляется только на основе оценивания
продуктов речевой деятельности учащихся на иностранном языке. Достижению этой
важнейшей задачи служат и задания данного сборника. В дополнение к содержанию
основных компонентов УМК учителю предлагается система заданий по развитию
умений чтения, письма, лексико-грамматических навыков как основы речевых умений.
Они не только решают задачу тренировки установленных форматов экзаменационных
заданий, но и служат 
развитию жизненно важных универсальных
учебных действий. Так, задания по чтению в формате True/False/Not Stated,
установление соответствий между текстами/частями текста и заголовками - шаги в
развитии умений смыслового чтения — одного из важнейших метапредметных умений,
которое должна обеспечить современная школа. Заполнение пропусков в
тексте-диалоге — умение (в составе социокультурной компетенции) использовать
языковые средства и правила речевого и неречевого поведения в соответствии с
нормами, принятыми в странах изучаемого языка. Лексические задания на
установление соответствий дефиниция - слово служат развитию ментальных умений
(анализ — синтез). Одно из сложных заданий — образование дериватов от данных
слов для заполнения пропусков в тексте — требует не только знаний
словообразования и грамматического материала, но и развития языковой и
контекстуальной догадки — составляющих лингвистической компетенции.
Естественно, задания для шестиклассников не могут дублировать экзаменационные задания для выпускников основной школы. В сборник включены упражнения для развития соответствующих умений с учётом этапа обучения. Авторы рекомендуют использовать материалы сборника для отработки навыков и умений, а не для контрольных и проверочных работ, обращаться к заданиям для дифференцированной работы с учащимися с учётом их личных достижений и затруднений.

Задания сборника в дополнение к учебнику, рабочей тетради и другим компонентам УМК, помогут тебе развить многие важные умения, ещё глубже проникнуть в закономерности и особенности английского языка, научиться использовать их в речи. А значит, и по-настоящему подготовиться к важному экзамену. Сборником легко пользоваться и при самостоятельной работе. Задания по чтению, лексике и грамматике построены в соответствии с модулями учебника «Английский в фокусе» для 6 класса, т. е. основаны на изучаемом в модулях лексическом и грамматическом материале. Разнообразные задания будут полезны и более старшим ребятам — для практики, повторения и самопроверки своих навыков и умений. Если вы учитесь в школе по другим УМК — это тоже не препятствие. Задания сборника включают темы, единые для всех российских школ в соответствии с новыми стандартами образования.
Успехов вам с «Английским в фокусе»!

friends — her best friend is my English teacher. They go to the sports centre.

It can be a home office or a place to do homework, or a place for socializing. Find your own style. Dining tables come in many different shapes. Round tables are great for seating a few people, and are good for conversations. Think if you want armchairs or chairs there. A carpet can make the room feel richer.

Lucy: Some of my friends are having a New Year party at home. Why not join them? We are the same age and have common views on many things so you can make a lot of new friends. I'm sure we'll have a lot of fun playing games and dancing.
Pam: And I'm not quite sure of it. Your friends may not like me and I won't feel at home. And some of the guests can be unpleasant to me either. Finally, we'll have to do lots of washing up and clean the room in the morning and I don't feel like doing it on holiday.
Lucy: Well, I can agree with you.
What about going for a walk with our classmates? I know some classmates and
teachers are going to celebrate New Year in Central Square. It's rather exotic!
We'll watch fireworks and listen to the concert. And then we can play snowballs

have a lot of fun!

Lucy: And we won't have to wash dishes and to clean the room after the party! But I'm afraid we are too young to go there alone. I invite you to join my family. We usually have a lot of fun. Pam: Thanks, I'll think it over.

Orchard Road is the main shopping street of Singapore. It is a major tourist attraction but local people as well visit it regularly. It is 2.2 kilometers long. It got its name after the fruit orchards that the road led to in the mid-1800s. Orchard Road is full of malls, numerous upmarket restaurants, coffee chains, cafés, nightclubs and hotels. Plaza Singapura is a major shopping centre in Orchard.
It is also the site of the official residence of the President of Singapore, the Istana. The Istana is at Orchard Road's southern end and on the northern side of Orchard Road are the Botanic Gardens.

In April 1969, they came together to record their final album as a group and titled it "Abbey Road". This album became their best selling work and featured the image of the zebra crossing just outside the studios on the front cover. Today, tourists come here to create their own Abbey Road album cover.
2 With its cinemas, cafés, luxury shops and horse-chestnut trees, the Champs-Elysées is one of the most recognizable and most famous streets in Paris and France. This elegant and broad avenue runs from the Place de la Concorde to the Arc de Triomphe. Originally it was nothing but fields; today it is one of the most famous streets in the world. Now it is one of the most prestigious shopping boulevards of Paris that attracts a lot of tourists.
3 You may not have heard of this street, but Unter den Linden really deserves attention. Stretching at the heart of the historical section of Berlin, from the Museum Island to the Brandenburger Gate, the prestigious boulevard lined with rows of trees makes for a pleasant walk between Berlin's two major attractions. During the day, it fills with tourists with cameras who are eager to see its numerous historical landmarks.

back reflector is clean. When you have to carry anything on your cycle, use a bike bag or basket.
2 Always wear a cycle helmet that is the correct size — it will help to protect your head if you fall off. Do not ride a bike that is too big or small as it can affect your balance.
3 Wear reflective clothing and/or accessories (belt, arm or ankle bands) or a backpack in the dark. You must not cycle at night without a white front light, a red back light and a red reflector at the back.
4 Before starting off, turning right or left, overtaking, or stopping, you must look behind and make sure it is safe and then give a clear arm signal to show what you want to do. You must not ride on the pavement unless there are special signs. Always keep both hands on the handlebars. Be very careful near lorries and buses. Do not ride in the space between the vehicle and the kerb. When turning from one road to another, give way to pedestrians who are crossing that road.

Tom, a friend of mine, a college student, loves riding his bicycle at weekends. He especially enjoys taking long rides through the city. To my . surprise, I found he never wears a helmet.
I began to wonder why a person who spends so much time and money devetoping his mind doesn 't wear a helmet. Riding a bicycle without a helmet greatly increases his risk of brain injury (yepenH0-M03r0Baq •rpaBMa).
Each year, over 50,000 people in the United States suffer some form of brain injury from a bicycle accident. Unfortunately, many of them have long-lasting effects. Getting medical treatment (neqeHL,1e) can cost very big money and can take many years. Compare this waste of time and money with the $40 you spend on a bicycle helmet.
It is not always easy to get a friend to wear a bicycle helmet. Be patient! Give your friend time to come to his or her own decision about wearing one. Invite your friend to take a bicycle ride with you. Without saying anything, put your helmet on quietly. If you stop at a store during your bike ride, keep your helmet on. This will send a message that you are comfort-
:
able wearing
a helmet both on and off your bike. If you remove it too quickly, your friend
may think wearing a helmet is not very nice.
Buying your friend a helmet as a present may not be such a good idea.
Your friend may feel you are pushing too hard. Each person needs to reach his or her own conclusions (BblBOAbl) about safety and how to protect the body.
1 . Tom goes to university by bike.
2.
He loves riding in the country. 
3. Riding a bicycle without a helmet is very dangerous.
4.
Over 500 bicycle accidents happen in the USA every day. 
5.
Medical treatment for brain injury is very long and expensive
(noporoh). 
6.
Bicycle helmets are not expensive. 
7.
One should make his friend wear a helmet when they go bike
riding. 
8.
It takes several months to get a friend to wear a bicycle helmet.

6. Read what the children from different countries write about traffic problems and choose the right option.
Fighting Terrible Traffic
One of the things that really upsets me is the traffic. It happens very often that when I have to be at the lessons, for example, I fight terrible traffic and spend my class time stuck there in my father's car.
That makes me angry because some drivers don't respect each other and can cause an accident. It makes me feel upset even though these situations are usual. The traffic problem in my country is worse because the traffic is bad all day long not just during rush hours like here.
Impatient Drivers Really Tick Me Off
Naitsin Shen from Taiwan
Drivers who are impolite or impatient really annoy me. And I hate it when drivers don't follow the traffic rules. Some drivers are impatient when the light turns green and the car in front of them does not go immediately.
They start to honk their horns. Some drivers do not make a signal when they want to make a turn or change lanes. A few days ago, when I was on the way home, a car approached my car without making any signal. I was annoyed and really scared. I think drivers should be very careful so that everyone can be safe in the street.
Being Stuck in a Traffic Jam
A traffic jam is a very common thing in big cities. This problem really upsets many people, and I am one of them. Traffic jams really annoy me, especially when I am in a hurry. When you are in a hurry and get stuck in the middle of traffic, how do you feel? I guess everybody's blood boils, especially when you are late for an important meeting or something. When you are in a traffic jam, you cannot even open your car door when it is hot because of the gases coming out of the cars. Being stuck in a traffic jam is my worst nightmare!

I like England but I prefer India! go there every year with my family. We take the plane from London to Mumbai. Sometimes we stop in Delhi because it's very near to Taj Mahal, in Agra.

Pros and Cons of Watching TV
Television is very popular nowadays. We can have a clear idea what is happening in the world. We can have live information about sports events and competitions. One can have a weather forecast and plan several things beforehand. It is also a good source of entertainment which is very cheap. You can watch interesting programmes that are both entertaining and useful. If you want to travel but do not have enough money, you can enjoy travelling on TV (for example watching the Discovery channel or National Geographic channel). There is a scientific channel which is suitable for all ages. That is the fastest and cheapest way to improve your knowledge. However along with some positive sides it has its negative points. Watching too much television is wasting time. Some films are not for all ages. Watching too much television also does harm to your eyes and nerves. Older people lose their own opinion. They feel whatever is being shown on television is correct and shöuld be practised as such. Nowadays IN is replaced by computer. Children spend too much time at the screen. Parents must always know what programmes their children watch on TV or the Internet and how much time they spend doing it.

B. Friends marked a new generation in television. The series are based around a group of friends living in the big city.

Their friendship is the only thing that stays the same.
C. Oprah Winfrey produced and hosted the show, one of the longest running daytime television shows in history. Winfrey interviewed many celebrities.

New Year in China and the USA
Jerry: Look, Fei! I got a Christmas card from my sister in the USA.
Fei: It's very beautiful. Why are the words "Happy Holidays" written on the card? Christmas is the only holiday. Shouldn't it be "Happy Holiday" , without the "s" 7
Jerry: We don't just celebrate Christmas during this season. We also celebrate the coming of the New Year.
Fei: Oh, I've never thought about that before. There's more than one holiday at the end of the year.
Jerry: Now that I'm in China, I want to celebrate the holidays Chinesestyle. What do you and your family do for Christmas?
Fei: Actually, we don't do much at Christmas. It's not really a big family holiday. Young people in China usually spend Christmas Eve with their boyfriends or girlfriends.
:
Jerry: Don't people give gifts to each other like they do in the US? Fei: Many parents give gifts to their kids. And boyfriends give wonderful, special, romantic gifts to their girlfriends!
Jerry: I see. How about the New Year in China? Is it a bigger holiday than Christmas?
Fei: Not really. We don't celebrate it because the Spring Festival is much more important to us here in China.
Jerry: The Spring Festival is known around the world as "Chinese New Year". It's the beginning of the year according to the traditional lunar calendar, isn't it?
Fei: That's right. The Spring Festival is the biggest family holiday in China, so we don't celebrate the western New Year. How about in New York? Do people celebrate New Year's Eve or New Year's Day more?
Jerry: There are two kinds of people who celebrate quite differently. Single people or couples without children often go out late on New Year's Eve. There are big parties all over, but the biggest is in Times Square in Manhattan. But there are families who don't do anything special on New Year's Eve. Instead, they celebrate with their families on New Year's Day. Fei: What do they do on New Year's Day?
Jerry: They have a big meal to
celebrate and often watch parades in the big cities. The parades are quite
spectacular. 
Fei: It sounds a little bit like our traditional Lion Dance.
Jerry: Yes, it's a lot like the Lion Dance, except there is no lion!

A. In my country, we have many festivals in various places several times a year. One party is called the Devils of Yare. It is famous for its music that uses only drums, its traditional dance and red clothing, multicolour masks, and colorful jewellry. This festival is also famous for beautiful costumes and dancing in the street, which is typical of South America. It lasts for four days in February and is celebrated in a small town called Yare two hours from the capital Caracas. It is popular with tourists who come from all over country and from different countries. (by Evelyn Infante)

C. Bullfighting is very typical in some parts of my home country. It's called The National Festival. It's the way that many cities and villages celebrate their main festivals. The place where a bullfight is celebrated is always a round arena. The bullfighter uses a stick with a red cloth to fight the bull. This is a very difficult art. Spanish are world-famous for it. (by Agustina
Pascual)
D. We have a special paper called Han-Ji that is made by hand and is dyed with natural materials. It takes a lot of time to make Han-Ji; it has to go through a long process. Han-Ji paper is extremely soft like cotton, but it's tough. In old times Korean people used it for various things; many kinds of Han-Ji crafts, artwork, dolls and house wares are made of this paper. The Dak paper doll craft is a popular national craft. It is especially interesting. Han-Ji is made of the Daktree, so we say Dak meaning HanJi when we describe this craft. When I visit my friend, I see beautiful Dakpaper dolls made by her mom. About two years ago, her mom and her mom's friends held an exhibition. Most of the dolls they make express something about childhood in Korea. It usually takes them 1-4 months to finish a doll. After all that time they are like children for them. (by HyunJoo Kim)

3 ST VALENTINE DAY IN AUSTRALIA
4 WHAT IS VALENTINE'S DAY?
5 WHY IT IS CALLED VALENTINE'S DAY
A. Valentines Day, or St Valentine's Day, is celebrated every year on 14 February. It's the day when people show their affection for another person (or people!) by sending anonymous cards, flowers or chocolates with messages of love.
B. The day gets its name from a famous saint, but there are several stories of who he was. The most popular is that St Valentine was a priest from Rome in the third century AD. Emperor Claudius Il had banned marriage because he thought married men were bad soldiers. Valentine thought this was unfair, so he broke the rules and arranged marriages in secret. When Claudius found out, Valentine was thrown into jail and sentenced
to death. There, he fell in love with the jailor's blind daughter. His love and belief in God cured her b'indness, and when he was taken to be killed on 14 February he sent her a love letter signed "From your Valentine". C. Gradually, St Valentine's name started to be used mainly by men to express their feelings to those they loved. Valentine's Day became popular in the UK in the 17th century. By the 18th century it was traditional for people to exchange handwritten messages of affection. Printed cards soon replaced these, making it easier for people to say "l love you" secretly.
D. Today Valentine's Day is a massive holiday, with celebrations of love worldwide from India to Iceland. But it's not just about sending messages to people you love - you can also just say you care! In the UK, great money is spent by people on the most romantic day of the year: 22 million spent on flowers, 7 million red roses are sent, 12 million cards are sent. In 2001, when text messaging exploded, there were around 30 million WUBMV (Will You Be My Valentine?) messages sent! So, have a happy Valentine's Day but remember: don't feel left out if you don't get a card — it's the giving that counts!

October 31 is Halloween. It is a funny event in the USA and in the UK and, now, in many other countries.
Halloween has Celtic origins. The Celtic calendar was
divided in two parts. Summer was from May to the end of October and winter was
from Novem- • ber to the end of April. There was a special festivity of
Samhain, celebrated at the end of the year: the Start of the Winter. It began
on the 31 st of October and continued until next day. On October 31 , Celts
(who were great performers) performed religious rituals and talked about future
events. The Celts believed that ghosts, witches, and evil spirits returned on
the night of October 31 . For this reason, they wore frightening costumes and
made big bonfires to send them away. The colours of Halloween (orange and black)
are of Celtic origin, too. Orange was the colour of the harvest and black was
the colour of the winter and long nights. Black cats are also popular among
Halloween symbols because Celts believed they had special powers. During the
centuries, the Catholic Church tried to explain this phenomenon, and in the
18th century, decided to call the evening of the 31 st of October All Hallow's
Eve (The day before the festivity of all the saints/hallows). All Saint Day was
on the 1st of November. Now, Halloween is celebrated all over the world and it
is becoming more and more popular. Many children and adults go to Halloween
parties wearing spooky costumes and creepy masks. Some typical costumes are
witches, ghosts, skeletons, monsters, vampires and many people also get dressed
as aliens, mummies and also fairies. At school children make decorations for
their classrooms such as pumpkins, ghosts, bats, witches. There are many party
games, such as like Apple Bobbing and the most traditional one the 'Trick or
Trea- 
ting'. In many houses, it's a tradition to
give sweets and sometimes money to the children who ask for it. It is also a
tradition to make Jack-O' -Lanterns and Pumpkin Pies. Halloween is not just for
children, many teenagers and adults wear costumes and go to parties on
Halloween's night.

The Colour of Friendship
Once upon a time the colours of the world started to quarrel (CCOP¼TbCB).
All
claimed that they 
(be) the best. Green 
(say): •
"Clearly I (be) the most important. I 
(be) the symbol of
life and hope. I am the colour of grass, trees and leaves." Blue
interrupted: "You
(be) speaking about the earth. But
(look)
at the sky and the sea! Water is the basis of life. The sky
(give) space
and peace. Without my peace, you would all be nothing. Yellow chuckled
(YCMeXaTbCR): "You are all so serious. I 
(bring) laughter and
warmth into the world. The sun is yellow, the moon is yellow, the stars are
yellow. Every time you
(look) at a sunflower, the whole world
(start)
to smile. Without me there
(be) no fun." Red (shout) out:
"l am the ruler of all of you. I am blood — life's blood! I(be) the colour
of danger and of bravery. I bring fire into the blood. Without me the earth
would be as empty as the moon. I am the colour of love." Then Orange,
Purple, Indigo
(speak) the same way. Their quarrelling
(become) louder and louder. Suddenly
there 
(be) a flash of bright
lightening (MOJIH¼R), thunder (rpoM) rolled and boomed. Rain (start).
The colours got frightened and
(come) close to one another for comfort. Then Rain
(begin) to speak:
"You foolish colours! Don't you know that you were each made for a special
purpose, different and unique?(join) hands with one another and (come) to me.
" The colours united
and (join) hands. The rain continued: "From now on, when it
rains, each of you will stretch across the sky in a great bow of colour. It will remind (HanOMhHaTb) you that you can all live in peace. The Rainbow is a sign of hope for tomorrow." And so, when a good rain
(wash) the world and a rainbow appears in the sky, let us remember to appreciate (qeH"Tb) one another.

Alice iri Wonderland (extract)

"Can you play croquet?" shouted the Queen. The soldiers
were silent, and looked at Alice, as the question was meant for her.
'Yes!" shouted Alice. "Come on, then!" roared the Queen, and
Alice joined the procession. "Get to your places!" shouted the Queen
in a voice of thunder, and people began running about in all directions,
however, they got settled down in a minute or two, and the game began. The
balls were live hedgehogs, the mallets (MOJIOTKVI) were live flamingoes, and
the soldiers had to stand on their hands and feet, to make the arches. The players
all•played at once. They didn't wait for turns, quarrelling all the time, and
fighting for the hedgehogs. In a very short time the Queen was furious, and
began stamping about, and shouting "Off with his head!" or "Off
with her head!" once in a minute.
Alice began to
feel very uneasy. She had not as yet had any dispute with 
the Queen,
but she knew that it might happen any minute. 'And then,' she thought, 'what
will become of me?'
She was looking about for some way of escape (n06er). So she went away looking for her hedgehog. The hedgehog was engaged in a fight with another hedgehog. It seemed to Alice an excellent opportunity for croqueting one of them with the other. But her flamingo was gone across to the other side of the garden, where Alice could see it trying in a helpless sort of way to fly up into a tree. By the time she had caught the flamingo and brought it back, the fight was over, and both the hedgehogs were out of sight.

Leisure time is free from work,
study, household duties. The ways people spend their leisure time normally
differ according to the age group: middle-aged and elderly people normally
prefer watching TV or going to the theatre, or sometimes gardening, younger
people enjoy more active pastimes like doing extreme sports, visiting discos or
travelling.
However, the idea of doing sports or travelling is becoming popular with the older people. Teenagers normally prefer to do extreme sports with speed, height and danger. They wish to take themselves to the limits of their physical ability and fear, such as climbing, whitewater rafting, surfing, windsurfing and many others. Their tastes in music are associated with youth subcultures, such as hard rock, hip hop or rap, punk rock. They normally like action films, comedies, musicals, thrillers and cartoons. Sometimes the ways young people spend their free time depend on national traditions. For example, in the USA young people like blues, rock,
country music and hip hop because they originated in the USA. The sports they are doing also originated in America like baseball, auto-racing, basketball, and surfboarding, skateboarding, snowboarding.
British youngsters are really fond of watching and taking part in football matches and sorts of races such as horse-racing, boat-racing and even dog-racing, as well as playing football, rugby and golf. They are really fond of pets and often spend some time in the evening taking their dog for a walk.

The tipi (teepee) — the Sioux Indians' house
A tipi was made of tall wooden poles (6pëBHa, CTOn6bl) covered with tough buffalo hides (WKYPbl). The buffalo hides were very tough; they lasted through winter storms and hot summer days. A small family's tipi had only one room. But for big families women could make a bigger tipi. At night you could look up and see the stars through the two flaps (OTBePCTV19) at the top of the tipi. When it rained or snowed, the flaps were closed. In a tipi it was warm in the winter and cool in the summer. When the Sioux moved from place to place, they took their tipis along. When it was time to move, women took their tipis apart. And when the tribe set up the camp again, women put the tipis up. Women working together could put up a tipi in a few minutes.
 |
All the village travelled together. First the women took down all the
tipis. Then the men put everything together — tipis, poles, tipi covers,
clothes, tools, and dried food. Clothes were made of animal skins — mostly
deerskins. Horses pulled the load (rpy3). The chiefs rode in the front, with
the hunters. The women and the girls rode behind, carrying the household goods.
Babies rode in cradles.
For every day, women and girls wore long dresses and leggings. Their special clothes were decorated with elk teeth, bear claws, feathers, and fur. Sioux men wore deerskin shirts and leggings. In warm weather and when they were hunting or fighting, they wore only a strip of leather and a pair of moccasins. In the winter, a buffalo robe kept the people warm. Women made all the clothing for their families.

He taught his son some electronics and how to work with his hands. The father showed Steve how to work with electronics in the family garage, demonstrating to his son how to take apart and rebuild radios and televisions. As a result, Steve became interested in computers when he was a teenager and attended special lectures after school.
In 1974, Jobs got a job as a technician. He saved enough money to travel around India and then came back home. Soon he met Steve Wozniak. Jobs and Wozniak founded Apple in 1976. Jobs persuaded Wozniak to make a computer and sell it. Jobs, Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne, an electronics industry worker, founded Apple Computer in the garage of Jobs's parents in order to sell it.
It was the first small computer with a user-friendly interface to be commercially successful. Jobs also built the computer on which the World Wide Web was created.

Japan's Most Famous Dog
In front of the Shibuya train station in Tokyo, there is a life-size bronze statue of a dog. The statue looks very small among the huge neon signs, but it isn't difficult to find it. People started to use it as a meeting point in 1934. Today you can see hundreds of people waiting there for their friends to arrive.
Hachiko, an Akita dog, was born in 1923 and brought to Tokyo in 1924. His owner, Professor Eisaburo Uyeno and he were best friends right from the start. Every day Hachiko accompanied his owner, a professor at the Imperial University, to Shibuya train station when he left for work. When he came back, the professor always found the dog waiting for him.

A philosophy professor stood in front of his class and had some things in front of him.
First he began filling a large glass jar with rocks. The students agreed that the jar was full. So the professor smiled and picked up a box of small pebbles (Merwae KaMeWK',1, ranbKa) and put them into the jar. The pebbles, of course, fell into the small spaces. Then the professor poured (BblCblnan) a box of sand into the jar, shook it, and the sand completely filled the jar.
Then he explained. "The jar represents your life, " said the professor. "The rocks are the important things — your family, your religion, your health; if you lost everything else, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the smaller things that matter — your job, your house, your car. The sand represents the trivial things (MenOHh). If you put the sand into the jar first,
there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks, just like life. Take care of the rocks first — the things that really matter. The rest is just sand." One student asked what a cup of coffee meant. The Professor smiled and said: "Look, what happens!" then he poured the contents of the cup into the jar and the coffee was easily absorbed. "Now it's full", he said. "You know, " the Professor continued, "the moral of the story is simple. No matter how full your life is, there is always room for a cup of coffee with a friend."

Robinson Crusoe. The First Chapter
A.
Before I begin my story, I would like to tell you a little about
myself. 
was born in the year 1632, in the city of
York in the north of England. My
father was German, but he came to live and work in England. Soon after that, he married my mother who was English. Her family name was Robinson, so, when I was born, they called me Robinson, after her.
B. My father did well in his business and I went to a good school. He wanted me to get a good job and live a quiet, comfortable life.
"l want to be a sailor and go to the sea, " I told my mother and father. They were very unhappy about this. "Please, don't go," my father said, "you won't be happy, you know. Sailors have a difficult and dangerous life. " And because I loved him, and he was unhappy, I tried to forget about the
sea.
C. But I couldn't forget, and about a year later, saw a friend in town. His father had a ship, and my friend said to me: "We're sailing to London tomorrow. Why don't you come with us?"
And so on September 1st, 1651 , I went to Hull, and the next daywe sailed for London.
D.
 |
A few days later, there was a strong wind. The sea was rough and
dangerous, and the ship went up and down, up and down. I was very ill, and very
frightened. "Oh, I don't want to die," I cried. "l want to live!
If I live, I'll go home and never go to the sea again!"
E. The next day the wind dropped, and the sea was quiet and beautiful again. "Well, Bob," my friend laughed. "How do you feel now? The wind wasn't too bad." "What!" I cried. "It was a terrible storm. " "Oh, that wasn't a storm, " my friend answered. "Just a little wind. Forget it. "
I spoke with my friend and soon I felt better. I forgot about the danger and decided not to go home. I didn't want my friend and family laugh at me!
F. I stayed in London for some time, but I still wanted to go to sea. So, when the captain of the ship asked me to go with him to Guinea in Africa, I agreed. And, so went to the sea for the second time.
G. It was a good ship and everything went well at first, but I was very ill again. Then when we were near the Canary Islands, a Turkish pirate ship came after us. They were famous thieves of the sea at that time. There was a long, hard fight, but when it finished, we and the ship were prisoners.
H.
The Turkish captain and his men took us to Morocco. They wanted
to sell us as slaves (pa6bl) in the market there. But in the end the Turkish
captain decided to keep me for himself, and took me home with him. This was a
sudden and terrible change in my life. I was now a slave and this 
Turkish
captain was my master.

One day his three sons gathered in his room to hear the reading of the
"l leave to my sons my garden and the treasure which lies buried there. " The three sons looked at one another. "Treasure!" they exclaimed. "Treasure buried in the garden! If we hire others to dig (KonaTb) there, they may steal our treasure from us. We must work in the garden until we find it." So the sons divided the garden into three parts and began to work harder than ever before. They dug from one end of the garden to the other end, but they could not find the treasure.
That year, however, the fruit trees brought so much fruit, that when the three sons sold the fruit each got a lot of money. When they divided the money, one of them said, "Indeed our digging brought us a treasure. Our father was very wise. " And so each year the three sons dug in the garden, and each year their digging brought them a treasure.

The Symbol of New York
People who come to New York by sea at once see the
Statue of Liberty. It is the most famous symbol of the largest American city
(if not of the whole country). The statue shows liberty as a proud graceful
woman in a loose 
dress. In her right hand she holds a
torch. She wears a crown with seven spikes. The spikes mean freedom on the
seven seas and continents. In her left hand she has a tablet (Ta6J1¼YKa
c HaarlhCb10) with the date of the Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776. A
broken chain lies at her feet. The chain means tyranny. The Statue was a gift
of friendship from the people of France to the people of the United States in
1886. On the day when it was presented, a parade was held in New York City.
From several hundred thousand to a million of people watched it. The Lady is 46
metres tall and weighs 225 tons. There is a museum at the bottom of the statue.
It tells visitors about the history ot immigrants to the United States. There
are 365 steps to the upper area from which you can observe the city. it is the most beautiful monument! The Lady is tourists' favourite souvenir. It takes the form of pencil sharpeners, plates, T-shirts and other things.

4 AN UNUSUAL CONSTRUCTION
5 A MASTERPIECE DUE TO THE FIRE
A.
London's most
famous building is St Paul's Cathedral. Its designer is a well-known English
architect Sir Christopher Wren. Its famous dome is 
one of the largest in the world. It
is 112 metres high. The original church was founded in the year 604. Christopher
Wren began to work on the present English baroque church in the 17th century.
It was after the Great Fire of London. It took 40 years to construct the
building. St Paul's plays an integral part of London life, as a centre for
tourism and religious wor-
B. The Leaning Tower of Pisa is one of the most remarkable architectural structures in Europe. The tower began to lean during the construction. The soft ground couldn't support the tower's weight. The work on the tower began in 1173. It went on for over 300 years. The height of the tower is 55.86 m from the ground on the low side and 56.70 m on the high side. Its weight is 16,000 tons. The tower has 296 steps. The true identity of the architect of the tower is not known. The design is by the artist Bonnano Pisano but some documents implicate the architect Diotisalvi.
C. The Irish architect James Hoban designed the White House in Washington D.C. The work on it began in 1793 and in 1800 it was completed. The mansion is the home of American presidents. When it was built it didn't have the name 'White House'. During the war with the British in 1814, the second war for independence, the building was damaged. Some time later they painted the building white to hide the marks on the walls. The name "Executive Mansion" was used in official documents until President Theodore Roosevelt established the formal name "White House" in 1901.

A strange
thing happened to me a month ago. I am a member of the "Flamenco"
dancing company. A month ago the "Flamenco" was giving a performance
in a beautiful castle, old Earl Grey and his family were the owners. The castle
was built in the 17th century. During the dance my shoe slipped off and went
five metres away. I saw it at the staircase. The dance was over and I ran
quickly after my shoe. But the shoe fell downstairs and got into the 
cellar.
I followed it jumping over steps but could not catch it. The cellar was used
for keeping old things. There were old costumes, a big lamp and other things.
It was clear that people seldom used that room. The shoe was behind the
wardrobe. I tried to get it, moved the wardrobe and a vase fell down and broke
to pieces. Suddenly I saw a figure of an old man with a grey beard in front of
me. "I'm the patron of art, " he said. I was ready to ask him about
my career when I heard Mrs Black: "Dear Mary, is everything OK? It's your
turn to dance. " The wizard gave me my shoe and disappeared. 1 . The young

Sam was a naughty boy. He liked to play jokes on
everyone around him. 
His favourite trick was to throw fake (VICKYCCTBeHHble) insects
everywhere. He could put a plastic spider into his sister's bed. She screamed
and Sam laughed. He put another plastic insect into his grandfather's tea. All
his family felt miserable because of his tricks. One day Sam was eating a
banana on the terrace outside his house. Suddenly an idea came to him. He
thought it would be fun to leave a banana peel (WKYPKa) in the street and then
watch someone slip over it. He didn't think somebody could get hurt. He watched
a few people come and go but nobody fell. By this time Sam was bored. He went
home and forgot all about the banana peel. Later that evening, an ice cream man
came by. Sam ran out arid bought his favourite ice cream. As he turned back, he
slipped over his own banana peel. The ice cream went up and landed on his head
as Sam fell down. The other children in the street laughed. It was not much fun
to be a victim (xepTBa) of his own trick. Sam felt very sorry for himself. His
leg hurt, cold ice cream was running along his back. After that he never played
tricks on people.

A. I'll never forget my first visit to the Opera and Ballet Theatre. My friend and I wanted to see the famous ballet "Swan Lake" by Tchaikovsky. From the very first minute I was deeply impressed by everything saw on the stage. The costumes were fine. The dancing and music were thrilling. The ballet seemed to me a fairy tale. My friend also enjoyed every minute of
it. When the curtain fell at the end of the performance, there came a storm of applause. It seemed that it would never end. We applauded enthusiastically. The performance was a great success.
B. Lucchese's Italian Restaurant was never a favourite of mine. But yesterday after Christmas shopping we went there, we ate and we loved it. The atmosphere was wonderful as well as the service and food. First of all, they gave a basket of fine Italian bread with a small bowl of oil. The pizza we ordered with sausage and mushrooms was perfect. The crust was thin but not too thin. There was plenty of good tomato sauce, which is important to me. Lucchese's is known for its fine Italian dishes. The average cost of their meals range from €6.00 to €18.00. We definitely plan to go back again!

D. Want to feel better, have more energy and perhaps even live longer? The health benefits of regular exercise and physical activity are hard to ignore. Staying fit is more than just looking good. This is a chance to change a person's whole life. Proper training, food, and facilities ensure people are healthy, have more energy, and look the best. The right fitness plan is fun and it is effective. Living a healthy lifestyle means understanding how the body works and how to change one's habits: change one's diet and exercise routines. The best way to get in shape and stay healthy is to make this a routine. For example, climbing the stairs is a great way to lose pounds.

Food Fright

Fast food is typical of Americans' diet, it was born there. American fast food is now part of life all over the world. McDonald's, Pizza Hut, Burger King have restaurants in many countries on all the continents.
The only good
thing about fast food is its low price. In fact a steady diet 
of burgers,
fries and cola doesn't fill your body with vitamins and minerals you need to
stay healthy. Fast food is rich in calories but it doesn't have many important
nutrients (nVITaTeJ1bHble BeueCTBa).
Now doctors give young people books and games about a good diet. Having healthy, well-balanced diet can help you feel better and live longer.

B. Eating too much salt can raise your blood pressure. And people with high blood pressure are three times more likely to develop heart disease or have a stroke (YAap, hi-ICYJ1bT) than people with normal blood pressure. Three quarters (75%) of the salt we eat is already in the food we buy, such as breakfast cereals, soups, sauces and ready meals. So you could easily be eating too much salt without realizing it.
C.
Having too much saturated fats (HaCblLUeHHbte XVIPbl) can cause
heart disease. Products that contain large amounts of saturated fats are meat
pies, cheese, butter, lard (cano), cream, cakes. You should replace butter and
lard with vegetable oils, which don't contain saturated fats. 
D. If you have sugary foods and drinks too often it can cause tooth problems. Cutting down on sugar will help you control your weight. Sugar is added to many types of food e.g. fizzy drinks, juices, sweets, biscuits, cakes, ice cream.

The Land of Milk and Honey
Once upon a time there was a country in which chickens flew into your mouth and sweets grew on trees.
 |
On the trees there grew freshly
baked rolls, and under the trees there were streams of milk and hot chocolate.
Fish swam in the water. They were 
baked or boiled, and swam very close to
the bank (6eper). But if you were too lazy to take them you called "Bst!
Bst!" — and the fish came out of the water walking into your hand so that
you only had to eat the fish.
Believe it.or not — the geese, ducks and chickens, turkeys and pigeons were flying around in the air and they were fried. And if you didn't want to reach out after one, it flew straight into your mouth.
Cheese was lying around like stones, large and small. The stones were all burgers, fishburgers, hamburgers or cheeseburgers. It didn't rain water drops — no, it rained honey. You could lick (Jlh3aTb) and lick, it was a pleasure. And when it snowed, it snowed icing sugar. Every hour of sleep brought a piece of silver and yawning (aeBaH1ae) brought a piece of
gold. But when you didn't sleep, you ate, drank, danced and played.
Such was life in the Land of Milk and Honey. There was a high wall around this country and if you wanted to go in or out you had to eat a door through this sweet and delicious wall.
1 . The Land of Milk and Honey was in Africa.
2. People used pancakes as roofs for their houses.
3. Houses were made of wood.
4. There were no fences around houses.
5. There were green forests and blue lakes.

7. If one was thirsty he could have free juice from the wells.
8. You could get a cup of hot chocolate at the café under the trees.
9. You could easily catch cooked fish in the river.
10. You could get more fish when the banks were closed.
11 . There were a lot of different birds in the Land of Milk and Honey.
12. Hunting for birds was difficult.
13. Stones were pieces of silver and gold.
14. Rain water and snow were very sweet.

The Lovely Banana
Bananas are popular all over the world. What a wonderful fruit the banana is! Its three colours tell you how ripe (cnenblü) it is. Green means go, as in "go and find another banana". Yellow means "eat me". Brown means "eat me but don't bother chewing before you swallow (rJ10TaTb)". The only thing that could make a banana more user-friendly is if you could eat the peel. Plus, a banana is neat to eat. When you bite into it, you don't have to worry about juice all over yourself and your neighbours (like oranges or grapefruit, for example). And it's a silent food — you can chew it as long as you-like without driving your neighbours crazy with crunching sounds (like apples or carrots, for example). Finally, it's easy to cut — you don't need a knife. You can slice it with a fork or a spoon, if you like.
You're never too young or too old to eat bananas. Babies eat mashed bananas before their teeth grow in. Great-great-grandparents eat mashed bananas after their teeth fall out.
 |
The banana is
various. You can fry it, bake it, mash it, or eat it raw. You can slice it and
put it on your breakfast cereal. At lunchtime you can have a raw banana as a
snack, or make a peanut butter and banana sandwich, or eat a bag of dried
bananas. You can add a banana to your ice cream for dessert and call it a
banana split. On weekends you can order a banana milkshake at your local
restaurant. Bananas give us lots of vitamins A and C. The price of bananas is

Let's Have a Nice Meal!
Last week I invited all my friends to have a nice meal. I put all the brushes on the table and a tea towel next to every chair.
First we had a starter. I cooked tomato soup and put it into the glasses on the table. Everybody started to eat the soup with their knives.
After the starter we had meat and potatoes and a salad with purple dressing. I put the meat on the teaspoons and the potatoes in the bottles. For the salad we used my wonderful yellow cups. We cut the meat with our spoons. The meat was good — green and hard.
For dessert we had strawberry and onion ice cream with white beans and a vanilla sauce.
Afterwards everybody drank a saucer of coffee with salt and pepper. It was a wonderful evening but the next morning everyone was sick. can 't understand why.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
Tom Sawyer is a mischievous (030PHoV1), but kind-hearted, boy who lives with his Aunt Polly and his brother Sid. Tom and Sid's mother died and Aunt Polly looks after them. She cannot be strict with them. Young Tom isn't a bad boy, but he is not always a thoughtful and sensible kid.
After getting in trouble with Aunt Polly for something Sid did, Tom becomes upset and runs off with his friend Huckleberry Finn. The two boys
later witness a murder (y6hücTB0). The real murderer puts the blame on an innocent man, Muff Potter. Tom and Huck are the only ones who witnessed what really happened. The murderer is a violent man, Injun Joe, and Tom and Huck are too afraid to say anything about it. Though Tom doesn't dare to say anything about the murder, Tom often stops by the prison and brings presents for Muff Potter.
Tom falls into depression because of his silence. To get his mind off the murder he plays pirates with his friends Joe Harper and Huck Finn. While they're out on an "adventure" on the river and an island, everyone in town thinks they're drowned. At night Tom goes to his house, and listens in as Aunt Polly, Mrs. Harper, Sid, and Mary talk about him and Joe; he takes great pleasure in hearing them praise him. When Aunt Polly goes to bed, Tom kisses her, and leaves. The boys use this misunderstanding and decide to run away and be "real" pirates. For days they play on the island but then become homesick and to everyone's surprise show up at their own funerals (noxop0Hbl). Aunt Polly is upset, but later forgives Tom. The trial (cya) begins for the murder and Tom tells the court what he saw. But Injun Joe runs away.
 |
During the summer holidays Tom gets bored. He decides to start
treasure-hunting. When Huck gets ill Tom goes to the cave with Becky. The
children try to find treasure but lose their way. Suddenly they see Injun Joe!
Fortunately he doesn't notice the children and soon Tom finds the way out of a
small hole and they go to town with Becky. Some days later Tom runs into Judge
Thatcher, Becky's father, who tells him that the entrance to the cave is closed
with a metal door. Tom tells the judge that Injun Joe was in there. The
townspeople rush out to the cave and find Joe dead by the door.

Planning Holidays
Everyone needs at least one holiday a year. Different people take holidays for various purposes. Some go hunting, others prefer to climb mountains. A lot of people have holidays relative to sports activities, such as hiking, cycling, horse-back riding, rowing and canoeing, as well as scuba diving or even bungee jumping. Others choose a resort or a spa. A good idea is to go somewhere abroad to see another country.
When you begin thinking and dreaming about the sun and the sea you are ready for a holiday. It's good to go somewhere quiet where the climate is pleasant. For the first couple of days you should rest and sleep as much as you can. Eat local food. Try to learn local customs and traditions. A little sightseeing is a good thing. Always have a dictionary of the local language and pick up a few words. It's not a bad idea to get to know the
place as well as you can. Be sure to take the necessary clothes and dress according to the climate. Remember that the sun is good for some people and very bad for others. Protective oils and creams are necessary for a holiday. Don't forget about your camera and take pictures. They will help to remember the most enjoyable moments!

A. I'll be working. My husband and I own a dental lab and a lot of people are getting their teeth fixed for the holidays. But I will not give up my Christmas Eve with my sister. We usually have snacks and watch a movie. I seldom watch movies but we've got a tradition and neither of us will give it up. We don't have kids and we got out of the present exchange years ago. We only bought a Christmas present for Dennis's mom.
B. We're keeping it simple this year, which is my favourite kind of Christmas. It's so easy to get stressed if we take on too much, so it's nice to relax and just enjoy some time with each other. No baking production
since we're plump. One simple and inexpensive gift per person. I don't decorate much since our grandchildren are not coming and our cats bite electric cords. It's my Christmas music that puts me in the mood for the season.
C. My mama is visiting this year. She usually stays in Wales with my sister, my brother-in-law and their kids but will travel up to spend this Christmas with me. It'll be the first Christmas dinner I'll do for my mum. She and my Granny used to make legendary dinners so I'm a bit nervous. I seldom cook as I'm so busy at the university: lectures, practical classes, talking to students. After dinner we'll go to our friends' house to swap gifts and play some games.
D. My in-laws are the type of people who HAVE to open presents Christmas morning, so we're there. My parents just have present-opening time whenever they can get my brother and me there. This year it will be around the 21 st — 22nd of December. Also, my mother's side of the family is Italian and my grandmother makes us all her homemade spaghetti. We all look forward to it every year! The whole family gets together, my aunts, uncles, cousins. It's great!

The term
'weather' describes the state of the air at a particular place and time — if it
is warm or cold, wet or dry, and how cloudy or windy it is, for example.
Ancient Civilizations thought that natural disasters were the work of the Gods.
The weather still plays a big part in our lives today. It affects many of the
things that we do, from the clothes we wear and the food we eat, to where we
live and how we travel. As a result, the weather is of great interest to people
everywhere, from meteorologists, the sci
entists who study it
in great depth, to all people in our everyday lives. In fact, one of the main
topics of conversation is often what the weather will do next, especially in
areas such as Great Britain where the weather is very changeable and
unpredictable (Henpeacxæyenaaq). Think about how often you hear people
discussing the weather. The climate may include four seasons of a year —
spring, summer, autumn and winter — or a wet and a dry season. Our climate
depends on our position on the earth and our distance from the sun.
Weather experts use computer technology and data from stations and satellites all over the world to predict the weather. By carefully monitoring
weather conditions it is possible to predict when change is due — what we know as weather forecasting.
1 . Saying "weather" we mean the behaviour of the air at a definite place.
2.
We are afraid of the weather as they used to be in old times. 
3. Different gods change the weather.
4.
A lot of things in our life depend on the weather. 
5.
Scientists study
and analyze weather conditions and the way it changes. 
6.
Meteorologists can easily predict any weather change. 
7.
The weather and climate are absolutely different phenomena. 
8. The sun makes the climate in a way.
9. When we analyze the weather of a definite season we mean climate.
10.
The British often speak about the weather because they're proud
of their climate.

Travel Tips for Children
Every Disney guidebook seems to have a section for babies or teenagers. There are even books written for teenagers going to Disney! However, where are the packing lists for children? I take my two daughters to Disney World every year. So I have a few tips for other parents going to Disney. I find that my children are typical children and they often get extremely dirty. So they need two sets of clOthes a day. I recommend you to bring the following: more underwear and socks, at least two swimsuits for each child. Bring a pair of sandals to go to the pool area. And, of course, a first aid kit.
It is good when each child has a small suitcase with wheels and a backpack. Everyone gets out their suitcase and we go down my list — so many pairs of socks, swimsuits, etc. Everyone is fetching things and packing them at once. That way everyone gets the fun of packing and we pack everything, I'm sure. The backpacks are for CD players, books, colouring books, crayons, games, homework, and other things to play with on the plane and in the car.
If you're going during the school year, the kids much do as must homework as they can before going to WDW (Walt Disney World). Organize some working on the skills your child is learning at school. For example, the child records what he/she eats daily for lunch and graphs the results in two ways (circle and bar graph).
If you are staying at one of the hotels that has a beach with sand, remember to bring some sand toys. All WDW resort hotel pools allow parents to borrow life vests for their children. These are very safe. When you are in the park, have a meeting place in case you get lost. And we always place a business card with our mobile number and hotel info in our daughter's sock.
1 . Guidebooks for all the parks
give tips for travelling with small children. 
2.
Children need a lot of clothes during holidays. 
3.
It's necessary to
take some medicines with you while travelling. 
4.
If you have two or three children they must pack the things in
turn. 
5.

6.
The mother of the family recommends backpacks for extra clothes. 
7.
It's not a good idea to go anywhere during the school year. 
8. If you
plan a holiday during the school year your children must take some homework
with them.

The best hotels
are in Walt Disney World Park.

4 FOR LOVERS OF WATER ACTIVITIES
5 NOTHING LIKE WINTER SPORTS
A. The Mediterranean is a famous place for glorious holidays in the sunshine. Especially if you'd like to try some diving. Come to a wonderful coastline, clear waters and beautiful beaches of Fuerteventura, the oldest
of the Canary Islands. You'll have an idyllic and relaxing holiday. You'll find beaches for a lazy day of sunbathing and, of course, for diving and surfing. It is an especially great place for beginners.
B. Fantastic activities can be found all over Europe. If you're thinking of booking ski holidays, France is the place you will certainly want to go to. Meribel is one of the country's top skiing places. Good conditions are guaranteed for the whole season. There are also a lot of parks where you can try your freestyle tricks. Snowboarding is also popular in those places.

You are likely to see wolves, moose, and mountain goats. It is also posSible to arrange whale - watching expeditions, as well as trips to see grizzly, black and brown bears in their natural habitat.
D. If you love adventure holidays, spend your next holidays in America. The vast country of Mexico has different places ideal for travelling. Your journey across Mexico should take you to a number of important historic sites. For example, you'll see the largest pre-Columbian archaeological site in the country. People left it hundreds of years ago, but the ruins will give you an impression of how wonderful the city looked in its prime. The buildings will give you an idea of how advanced the city was for its time.

Remember: children do not need to be 'entertained' all the time.
Just a change of place can help them to be very on their own. CREATE
