The Internet (14 sentences) – на оценку «5»

   The Internet is the newest kind of mass media and the most popular source of information and entertainment nowadays. If you have the internet access, you may read newspapers online, watch films, listen to music, listen to the radio and even watch television online.

  I use the Internet every day for at least an hour. I usually visit music, film and sports websites. I also like social networking sites  because such platforms as Facebook, Myspace, VKontakte and many more allow people to send messages, play games, chat, exchange photos and videos.  I often browse the Internet to find necessary information for my studies. When I deal with a school project I always visit different amazing websites and library web pages  to collect some interesting facts on a given topic. To improve my skills in English and German I often read foreign magazines and newspapers online.

   On the other hand, the Internet can be dangerous. First of all, you should take care what information you share and with whom because there are many dishonest people on social networking sites who can even steal money from you. Internet users also need to have antivirus software to protect their computers. Moreover, many people spend too much time sitting in front of the computer screen. This is very unhealthy and, as a result, they may become overweight.

    In conclusion, I would like to say that, if you are careful, the Internet can be a great form of entertainment and communication.

Mass media – средства массовой информации

Source of information – источник информации

Entertainment – развлечение, веселье

Internet access – доступ к Интернету

at least – по крайней мере

Allow – позволять, разрешать

Browse the Internet – просматривать информацию в Интернете

Deal with a school project – заниматься, иметь дело со школьным проектом

Improve my skills – улучшать навыки

On the other hand – с другой стороны

Dishonest — нечестный

Steal (stole – stolen) —  воровать, красть

Antivirus software – антивирусное программное обеспечение

Moreover – сверх того, кроме того

Become overweight – весить больше нормы, иметь избыточный вес

In conclusion – в заключение

First of all – во-первых, прежде всего

2. the ways to avoid them;
3. about the problems you face at home and at school.

You have to talk for 1,5 – 2 minutes.

The examiner will listen until you have finished. Then the teacher will ask you some questions.

Youth problems (16 sentences) – на оценку «5»

Variant 1

It seems that teens have no problems, as they don’t work or take care of their families. But this is not true. They can face many problems at home and at school. The most common problems for young people are resisting peer pressure, preventing gossiping about you, dealing with bullies and conflicts with their parents.

It is not easy to be a student, especially when another student is gossiping about you. There are some things you can do to change the situation for the better.

First of all, you should talk to a person who is gossiping about you. As a result, they may stop immediately.

Secondly, ignore them when they talk about you. They can do it to get a reaction from you or because they want attention. When you show them that it doesn’t bother you, they might lose interest.

Another thing you can do is to spread some positive news about yourself around the school. Consequently, you will balance out the negative gossip.

All in all, dealing with people that gossip can be difficult. However, I believe you should handle it in a positive way by talking to the person directly, ignoring them or by highlighting the things you do well. If you can do that, the problem will go away soon.

Variant 2 (14 sentences) – на оценку «5»

The most common problems for young people are resisting peer pressure, preventing gossiping about you, dealing with bullies and conflicts with their parents.

Peer pressure is a normal part of growing up, but it can sometimes be so strong that it makes you feel you don’t control your life. What can you do to resist peer pressure?

To begin with, it’s important to trust your own feelings and know your personal limits. As a result, you will feel more confident in your actions.

Secondly, you should choose your friend carefully. Then, if your friends share your beliefs, you will reduce the amount of peer pressure you may experience.

Another helpful suggestion is to talk it through with someone you trust, such as a friend, teacher or parent. They may be able to give you helpful advice, as they probably have experience with peer pressure too.

All in all, I think peer pressure can be a major problem. However, if you are confident and have support from good friends, peer pressure will never be a problem for you again.

Global warming (14 sentences) – на оценку «5»

Our planet is in danger. Heavy traffic, air pollution, litter, endangered animals and global warming are among the most serious problems people face nowadays.

Global warming is the increase of the average temperature on the Earth.

Climate change can have a serious effect on the people. If the ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica ever melt completely, whole countries will vanish and millions of people in low-lying  areas will lose their homes.

Global warming is a serious threat to wildlife. In particular, Arctic polar bears are in great danger, because the ice that they hunt from is melting very fast. They have to swim further and further to find food and many starve or drown. Some people believe that 30-40 % of the world’s species could become extinct because of climate change.

Nowadays we have more and more extreme and unpredictable weather such as heavy rain and snow, storms, heatwaves, droughts, more powerful hurricanes and tornadoes. What can we do to save our planet?

To help, we can cycle, walk or take a bus instead of using a car, use energy-saving bulbs and wear more clothes instead of turning up the heat.

There many ways to make our planet a better place to live. If we take action now, there might be some hope for the future.

Technology and health (13 sentences) – на оценку «5»

Modern technology allows us to stay connected to family, friends and events all over the world. As for me, I have a mobile phone, a computer, a games console and an MP3 player. I use these gadgets every day to call my friends, send text messages, send emails, use Facebook, take pictures, play computer games, listen to music and for my schoolwork. They are very useful. But using modern  devices can be unhealthy. For example, if you spend too much time playing computer games, you may become overweight. To avoid possible health problems we should always remember how to use our gadgets wisely.

We should warm up before we start playing a video game or we can get shoulder strain.

We should set the volume on our MP3 players at a low level or we can suffer from hearing loss.

We should send fewer text messages or use different fingers when you text or we can get thumb arthritis.

We should clean our mobile phones properly or we can get a skin infection, acne or a rash.

We shouldn’t spend too much time in front of a computer screen or we can get eye strain.

In conclusion, I believe that using modern gadgets can be quite healthy if you follow this advice and take an interest in sports.

You have to talk for 1,5 – 2 minutes.

The examiner will listen until you have finished. Then the teacher will ask you some questions.

Seasons (Времена года) – конструктор темы

There are four seasons in a year. They are winter, spring, summer and autumn. There are three months in each season. December, January and February are winter months. March, April and May are spring months. Summer months are June, July and August. Then autumn months come: September, October and November.

Winter is a lovely season. It is my favourite season because everything is beautiful when it snows.

The weather is very cold. It often snows and the sky is usually cloudy. Some animals sleep all winter. There are no leaves on the trees and there aren’t any flowers.

I do lots of things in winter. I go to school in the morning. In the evening , I stay at home and watch TV or read a book next to a warm fire. When it snows, my friends and I go to the park and make a snowman. At the weekend, my family and I go skiing in the mountains.

Winter is fantastic. It makes me feel happy.

Spring is a wonderful season. It is my favourite season because everything is so beautiful and colourful.

The weather is usually warm and sunny in spring. Beautiful flowers grow everywhere and the birds build their nests in the trees. However, the weather changes quickly. Sometimes, grey clouds appear in the sky and it rains, but after the rain, the sky turns blue again.

In spring, I spend a lot of time outdoors. I often ride my bicycle and play with my friends in the park. The countryside is lovely in spring, so my family and I often go on picnics on Sundays.

I love spring. It makes me feel happy and energetic.

Summer is a fantastic season. It’s my favourite because everything is so beautiful.

The weather is usually hot and sunny. The sun shines and there aren’t any clouds. The trees are full of green leaves, the birds sing and the sea is warm.

In summer, I always go on holiday. In the morning, I swim in the sea and make sandcastles on the beach. In the afternoon, I go on picnics or ride my bicycle.

I love summer. It makes me feel happy and relaxed.

Autumn is a beautiful season. It is my favourite season because it’s cool and the trees change colour.

In autumn, it often rains and the wind blows. Leaves fall from the trees and the birds fly to warm places.

In autumn, my mother always buys me a new bag, because school starts in September. My father collects the leaves from the garden. Sometimes I help him after school. At the weekends we often visit my grandmother.

Extreme Sports (17 sentences) – на оценку «5»

Many sports are popular in our country. They are football, hockey, basketball, volleyball, tennis, skiing, ice-skating, wrestling, shooting and many others. Some people are fond of extreme sports such as rock-climbing, white-water rafting, speed skiing, freediving or windsurfing.

Rock – climbing is my favourite sport. There is nothing I like better than being outdoors, standing high up on a mountain and looking down at the rest of the world.

There are several reasons why rock-climbing is such a popular sport. To start with, it is very exciting because you can explore many interesting places. It is also good exercise, as it helps you keep fit and healthy. It’s relaxing, too! Being out in the fresh air can help you forget your everyday problems.

On the other hand, rock-climbing can sometimes be dangerous. For example, you have to be very careful and well-trained to avoid having an accident. It is also rather expensive, as the equipment costs quite a lot of money. You need an elastic rope, a helmet and boots with metal spikes to go rock-climbing.

In conclusion, I believe that, although rock-climbing can be dangerous, it is a fantastic sport! It is the perfect way to exercise and travel around the countryside at the same time. Try it and see for yourself!

Extreme Sports (17 sentences) – на оценку «5»

Speed skiing is the sport I like best. On holiday my family and I often go skiing in the mountains where there is a lot of snow. Speed skiing is great fun for people who enjoy being outdoors. It’s also a very thrilling sport. Speeding down the steep slopes of the mountains makes you feel like a bird.

Another good thing about skiing is that it helps you relax. Being out in the fresh air makes you forget your problems.

However, learning to ski can sometimes be dangerous as you can hurt yourself. Sometimes it is also difficult and tiring because you need a lot of time to practise. Speed skiing is also rather expensive, as the equipment costs quite a lot of money. You need a pair of skis, safety goggles and ski boots to go speed skiing.

To sum up, although speed skiing can sometimes be difficult, I think it’s an excellent way to exercise. Try it and see for yourself!

Wrestling — борьба

Rock-climbing – альпинизм

White-water rafting —  сплав по горной реке

Speed skiing – скоростной спуск на лыжах

Freediving – ныряние без акваланга

Windsurfing – виндсерфинг

At the rest of the world – на остальной мир

Choosing a future profession – конструктор темы

These days most teenagers and university students have part-time jobs such as a waiter, a delivery person, a camp counsellor, an office clerk or a lab assistant. I think a camp counsellor is a great job because you organize sports and other activities, and have fun. Counsellors get free room and board and they also earn a good wage. A computer lab assistant is a popular part-time job because it’s valuable experience in the student’s chosen profession. The job can often be low-paid or even unpaid, but the company sometimes offers the intern a job after  they graduate.

More and more young people are taking on volunteer work nowadays. They build homes for poor families, teach children English, take care of orphans, or help to protect an endangered species. I would like to take part in (to go on, to volunteer for, to participate in) an educational project (a construction project, a conservation project) to teach English and Maths to children in their community (to build houses or schools for poor children around the world, to do wildlife research and protect endangered animals).

At the end of the 11th form I am going to pass Russian National Exam. I have to study hard to get a necessary number of exam points to enter a university. I am good at English and Russian, Maths and Physics (History, Art, Geography, Music, Science, ICT, PE). (I would like to become a police officer (a shop assistant, a surgeon, a judge, a firefighter, a flight attendant, an artist, a nurse, a sports coach, a taxi driver, a secretary, a social worker, an interior designer, a waiter/waitress, a babysitter, a journalist, a businessman, a security guard).

A police officer’s job is dangerous because they deal with people who don’t obey the law. To be a good police officer I need to be brave and honest.

(A shop assistant’s job is easy because they do the same thing every day. To be a good shop assistant I need to be friendly and polite.

            A camp counsellor’s job is interesting because they work with children. To be a good camp counsellor I need to be friendly and creative.

            A surgeon’s job is well-paid because they operate on people. To be a good surgeon I need to be organized and caring.

            A judge’s job is difficult because they have to apply the law. To be a good judge I need to be organized and honest.

            A firefighter’s job is dangerous because they put out fires. To be a good firefighter I need to be fit and strong.

            A flight attendant’s job is demanding because they have to look after lots of passengers on a plane. To be a good flight attendant I need to be friendly and polite.

           An interior designer’s job is creative because they develop original ideas for decorating the inside of buildings. To be a good interior designer I  need to be organized and creative.

           A secretary’s job is  difficult because they plan everything. To be a good secretary I  need to be organized and polite.

          An artist’s job is interesting because they  develop original ideas. To be a good artist I need to be organized and creative.

          A nurse’s job is demanding because they look after sick people. To be a good nurse I  need to be patient and caring.

          A sport’s coach job is difficult because they need to stay calm and not get annoyed. To be a good sports coach I  need to be patient and organised.

          A taxi driver’s job is interesting because they deal with people from different backgrounds. To be a good taxi driver I  need to be patient and polite.)

I think I will be a good  engineer, electrician or surgeon because I am a realistic, down –to  earth person and I  like working  with materials.

(I think I will be a good  nurse, social worker or psychologist because I am a caring and helpful person and I  like working with people.

             I think I will be a good  architect, film director or interior designer because I am an artistic and creative person and I am also good at solving problems and I like coming up with new ideas.)

More and more young people are taking on volunteer work nowadays. They build homes for poor families, teach children English, take care of orphans, or help to protect an endangered species. I would like to take part in  an educational project to teach English and Maths to children in their community.

             At the end of the 11th form I am going to pass Russian National Exam. I have to study hard to get a necessary number of exam points to enter a university. I am good at Art and ICT. I would like to become an interior designer.

            An interior designer’s job is creative because they develop original ideas for decorating the inside of buildings. To be a good interior designer I  need to be organized and creative.

            I think I will be a good  interior designer because I am an artistic and creative person and I am also good at solving problems and I like coming up with new ideas.

Walt Disney is a well-known name all over the world. He was the famous animator who created characters such as Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck.

Walter Elias Disney was born in Chicago on December 5th, 1901. He was one of five children and grew up on a farm in Missouri. Many of his first drawings as a child were of farm animals. At the age of sixteen, Disney studied art at McKinley High School.

In 1920 he joined the Kansas City Ad Company, where he made cartoon advertisements. Disney got married to Lillian Bounds on July 13th, 1925. They had two daughters. In 1928, he created Mickey Mouse, his most famous cartoon character. That was the start of Disney’s amazing success. His company grew and he won many awards for his films, which include Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Bambi and Pinocchio. His greatest creation, however, was Disneyland, which opened in 1955 in California.

Walt Disney died at the age of 65 on December 15th, 1966. His dreams live on, though, and people can share them by watching his films and going to his amusement parks.

Let me introduce myself. I’m Igor Rostov. I’m fourteen years old. I was born on the 10th of December in 1987 in St. Petersburg.

Books and reading. (15 sentences) – на оценку «5»

   I think that we can’t live without books. There are a lot of different kinds of books in the world. For example, thrillers, historical novels, science fiction, adventure books and others. Encyclopaedias,  reference books and dictionaries help us to do well at school. More than that, computers help me to do my homework too.

   But I don’t believe that computers will replace printed books in the future, because printed books have certain advantages over electronic media. First of all, they are cheaper and easier to use. Secondly, printed books don’t need electricity, and you can take a book with you wherever you like, even to bed. What’s more, a printed book is better for human eyes than a computer screen. So I think that printed books will coexist with computers and will always be a part of human culture because books teach us to be honest, kind and sympathetic.

   I enjoy reading very much. Most of all I like reading fantasy novels because they have interesting story lines and unusual endings. My favourite book is «The Alchemist» by the Brazilian author Paulo Coelho. It’s about a boy on a journey to follow his dream. This is a great book and I would recommend it to anyone!

(I enjoy reading very much. Most of all I like reading fantasy novels because they are full of magic. My favourite book is «The Hobbit» by the English author John Tolkien. It’s about characters who go through dangers to complete their mission. I find this an enjoyable book to read because it’s exciting and moves quickly.)

Подборка тем для учащихся седьмого класса. Наши тексты ориентированы для школьников среднего уровня и хорошо владеющих английским языком.

В 7 классе дети уже довольно хорошо владеют грамматикой и словарным запасом английского. Но еще очень важно закреплять ранее изученные знания. Семиклассники, продолжая изучать иностранный язык, касаются при обучении тем, интересных и актуальных для них в этом возрасте, а также тех, которые касаются лингвокультурологического аспекта изучаемого ими языка.

Учащиеся 7 класса повторяют ранее пройденный материал, продолжают овладевать языковыми приемами и методами, расширяют словарный запас, учатся слушать других, вести диалоги со своими сверстниками на английском для тренировки его корректного произношения, отработки правильных интонаций. В 7 классе ребята оттачивают на уроках общение на иностранном посредством применения стандартных ситуаций общения, практикуются в ответах на вопросы, а также учатся их задавать.

Чтобы лучше понимать иноязычные тексты, школьники продолжают занятия по чтению и написанию связных текстов, а также по их пересказу. Кроме того, они пополняют багаж знаниями о традициях и культуре страны изучаемого языка. Полезно также написание сочинений по темам: о себе, своей семье, городе, своей стране.

whatever you like. You don’t have to get up early, do your homework or think of
troubles at school.

       Most
of all I like summer holidays  because they are the longest ones. I’d like to
tell you about my summer holidays which I spent at home (in Kovrov, by my
granny, in a camp, with my friends). The weather was fine and it was hot. I
spent a lot of time on the beach and enjoyed swimming. I went to the forest
with my parents to pick berries and gather mushrooms. I watched TV, played
computer games, read books, magazines and newspapers, helped my grandparents
(parents) in the garden. I spent a lot of time with my friends. We went for a
walk, played sports games and had picnics.

         I enjoyed
my summer holidays very much.

         В конце каждой четверти в
школе у нас каникулы. Ты можешь делать всё, что тебе хочется. Тебе не надо рано
вставать, делать домашние задания или думать о неприятностях в школе.

        
Больше всего мне нравятся летние каникулы, потому что они самые длинные. Я
хотел(а) бы рассказать вам о моих летних каникулах, которые я провёл(а) дома (в
Коврове, у бабушки, в лагере, с друзьями). Погода была хорошая, и было жарко. Я
проводил(а) много времени на пляже и наслаждался(ась) плаванием. Я ходил(а) за
ягодами и грибами с моими родителями. Я смотрел(а) телевизор, играл(а) в компьютерные
игры, читал(а) книги, журналы и газеты, помогал(а) бабушке и дедушке
(родителям) в саду. Много времени я проводил(а) с друзьями. Мы гуляли, играли в
спортивные игры и организовывали пикники.

        
Я наслаждался(ась) своими летними каникулами.

and slim (fat). I have known him (her) for a long time (since our first school
years). But we became  friends four (five, …) years ago.

       He

form. He (she) likes to study at school and he (she) does it well. His (her)
favourite subject(s) is (are) English (Russian, Maths, History,…). He (she)
spends a lot of time learning it.

        My
friend is nice, kind and reliable. He (she) often helps me to do my homework. I
like to spend my free time with my friend. We go for a walk, read and discuss
books together, play different games. I like my friend very much. I think we
are true friends.

         У меня много друзей, но
мой(я) лучший(ая) друг (подруга) – (имя). У него (неё) голубые (зелёные, карие,
серые, чёрные) глаза, круглое лицо, светлые (тёмные) длинные (короткие) и
прямые (кудрявые) волосы и широкая улыбка. Он(а) низкого (высокого) роста и
стройный(ая) (полный(ая)). Мы знакомы  долгое время (с первого класса). Но мы

Он(а) учится в 7 (8,9,…) классе. Ему(ей) нравится учиться в школе и он(а)
хорошо учится. Его (её) любимый(е) предмет(ы) английский язык (русский язык,
математика, история,…). Он(а) проводит много времени, изучая его(её).

         
Мой(я) друг (подруга) красивый(ая), добрый(ая) и надёжный(ая). Он(а) часто
помогает мне делать домашнее задание. Мне нравится проводить свободное время с
моим(ей) другом (подругой). Мы гуляем, вместе читаем и обсуждаем книги, играем
в различные игры. Я очень люблю своего друга. Я думаю, мы – верные друзья.

                                        
       4) Планы на будущее

         I
am going to tell you about my plans for the future. As for my future
profession, I want to be a doctor (a nurse, a programmer, a teacher, a
businessman, a journalist, a librarian). I like this profession because I love
people and want to help them to recover.  I am eager to get a medical (higher)
education and work at a hospital (at school, in the office, at the library). I
should be responsible, confident and kind. This profession is very interesting
and useful because it helps people to become healthy. And health is the most
important thing in our life.

         As
for my future family, I would like to have a big friendly family: my wife
(husband), I and 2-3 (two-three) lovely kids. We’ll love and respect each other
and help in different situations.

        I
hope that my dreams will come true sooner or later.

        Я собираюсь рассказать вам о
своих планах на будущее. Что касается моей будущей профессии, я хочу стать
доктором (медсестрой, программистом, учителем, бизнесменом, журналистом,
библиотекарем). Мне нравится эта профессия, потому что я люблю людей и хочу
помочь им выздороветь. Я очень хочу получить медицинское образование и работать
в больнице (в школе, в офисе, в библиотеке). Я должен(на) быть
ответственным(ой), уверенным(ой) в себе и доброй. Эта профессия очень
интересная и полезная, так как она помогает людям стать здоровыми. А здоровье –
самая важная вещь в нашей жизни.

       
Что касается моей будущей семьи, я бы хотел(а) иметь большую дружную семью:
жену (мужа) и 2-3 прелестных детишек. Мы будем любить и уважать друг друга и
помогать в трудных ситуациях.

       
Я надеюсь, что рано или поздно мои мечты осуществятся.

(быть
готовым(ой) ответить на вопросы о школьных предметах, которые нужны для будущей
профессии, о том, что делаешь для подготовки к будущей профессии и о своей
семье сейчас).

                                       
5) Известные люди планеты

          There
are a lot of famous people in the world. For example, Daniel Defoe was a famous
English writer. Joseph Turner was a master of water-colours. Charles Darwin was
a well-known scientist. But I would like to tell you about Andrei Sakharov, the
famous Russian academician.

          
A.Sakharov was born in 21 May (in the twenty-first of May), 1921 (nineteen
twenty-one) in Moscow. By the age of 32 (thirty-two) he was one of the world’s
most famous scientists in Russia. He devoted himself to fighting against future
atomic wars. He was one of the founders of the Moscow Committee on Human
Rights. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1975 (nineteen seventy-five).
A.Sakharov is the author of several books on progress and freedom all over the
world. He died on the 14 (fourteen) of December, 1989 (nineteen eighty-nine).
Now, many years after A.Sakharov’s death people still remember him and share
his ideas.

         В мире много знаменитых
людей. Например, Даниель Дефо был знаменитым английским писателем. Джозеф
Тёрнер был мастером акварели. Чарльз Дарвин был известным учёным. Но я хотел(а)
бы рассказать об Андрее Сахарове, знаменитом русском академике.

        
А.Сахаров родился в Москве 21 мая 1921 года. В возрасте 32 лет он был одним из
самых знаменитых в мире русских учёных. Он посвятил себя борьбе против будущих
атомных войн. Он был одним из основателей Московского комитета по правам
человека. В 1975 году он получил Нобелевскую премию мира. А.Сахаров – автор
нескольких книг о прогрессе и свободе в мире. Он умер 14 декабря 1989 года.
Сейчас, много лет спустя после смерти А.Сахарова, люди всё ещё помнят его и
разделяют его идеи.

подробная информация на стр.18).

                                     
   6) Поговорим о суевериях

        
Most people in the world have some superstitions. They believe in good luck and
bad luck. There are some British superstitions. For example, black cats are
lucky. On the first day of the month it’s lucky to say “white rabbits”. Catch
falling leaves in autumn and you’ll have good luck. If you see two magpies,
you’ll be happy. Never open an umbrella in the house. Never break a mirror –
that means 7 years’ bad luck. Don’t go past somebody on the stairs. The number
13 is very unlucky. Don’t walk under a ladder.

        
There are some Russian superstitions. For example, if you have horseshoe over
the door, find a fourleaf clover or wear a charm, you’ll be lucky. If you meet
a woman with empty pails or a black cat, you’ll be unlucky.

         
It’s everyone’s right to believe in different superstitions or not but we
should be careful and not play with our fate.

          У многих людей в мире есть
приметы. Они верят в удачу и неудачу. Существует несколько британских суеверий.
Например, чёрные кошки – к удаче. В первый день месяца к удаче сказать «белые
кролики». Поймай падающие листья осенью – и тебе повезёт. Если увидишь двух
сорок, будешь счастлив. Никогда не раскрывай дома зонт. Никогда не разбивай
зеркало – это означает 7 лет несчастья. Не ходи за кем-либо по ступенькам.
Число 13 – очень несчастливое. Не ходи под лестницей.

       
Существует несколько русских суеверий. Например, если у тебя есть подкова над
дверью, если ты найдёшь четырёхлистный клевер или носишь амулет, ты будешь
удачлив. Если ты встретишь женщину с пустыми вёдрами или чёрную кошку, тебе не
повезёт.

        
Право каждого – верить или не верить в приметы, но мы должны быть осторожными и
не играть с судьбой.

(подробнее
на стр.20-21; быть готовым(ой) ответить на вопросы о различии и сходстве
британских и русских примет и о Хэллоуине).

                                  
     7) Компьютер в нашей жизни

         
Computers play a very important role in our life. We are living in the age of
information. Today people can work, go shopping or even go on dates sitting at
their computers.

          As
for me, I really enjoy using my computer. I can make new friends and chat with
them on the Internet. Besides, the Internet helps me in my studies. I can find
the necessary information on the Internet. My hobby is computer games. It’s so
interesting and exciting.    

          So,
computers offer wonderful opportunities for everybody. But I think that young
people spend too much time using computers. They don’t have time for
communication with their relatives and friends, for reading and sport. They
become nervous, angry and tired. Computers can be addictive. And sitting in
front of them for hours is bad for eyes.

          So,
I think that computers are very useful in our modern life but they can’t
substitute for real communication.

           Компьютеры играют важную роль
в нашей жизни. Мы живём в век информации. Сегодня люди могут работать, делать
покупки и даже ходить на свидания, сидя за своим компьютером.

         
Что касается меня, я люблю пользоваться своим компьютером. Я могу найти новых
друзей и болтать с ними по интернету. Кроме того, интернет помогает мне в
учёбе. Я могу найти нужную информацию  по интернету. Моё хобби – компьютерные
игры. Это так интересно и захватывающе.

          
Так, компьютеры открывают большие возможности для каждого. Но я думаю, что
молодые люди проводят слишком много времени за компьютерами. У них нет времени
на общение с родственниками и друзьями, на чтение и спорт. Они становятся
нервными, злыми и уставшими.  Компьютеры могут вызвать привыкание. Долгое сидение
за ними вредно для глаз.  

          
Итак, я думаю, что компьютеры полезны в нашей современной жизни, но они не
могут заменить живое общение. (подробнее – стр.26-27).

(быть
готовым(ой) ответить на вопрос о профессии программиста и IT).

        
                                    Языки и национальности       

            In
all the countries people speak different languages. The Russians speak Russian,
the Germans speak Germans, the French speak French, the English speak English.
English is very popular today. It’s the language of computers, science,
business, sport and politics. It’s spoken all over the world. It is the
official language of the United Kingdom, Ireland, The United States of America,
Canada, Australia. More than 750 (seven hundred and fifty) million people in
the world speak English.

            
It’s very important to know foreign languages. It can help you to understand
other people better or to find a good job. You must work hard to learn foreign
language. Some people can learn many foreign languages. They know that when we
have learned one foreign language, learning a second foreign language is much
easier. I try to do my best by learning English.

           
Во всех странах люди говорят на разных языках. Русские говорят на русском
языке, немцы – на немецком, французы – на французском, англичане – на
английском. Английский сегодня очень популярен. Это язык компьютеров, науки,
бизнеса, спорта и политики. На нём говорят во всём мире. Это официальный язык
Великобритании, Ирландии, США, Канады, Австралии. Более 750 миллионов человек в
мире говорят на английском языке.

           
Очень важно знать иностранные языки. Это поможет  вам  лучше понять других
людей или найти хорошую работу. Вы должны усердно работать, чтобы изучить
иностранный язык. Некоторые люди говорят на многих иностранных языках. Они
знают, что, если мы изучили один иностранный язык, изучение второго
иностранного языка пойдёт намного проще. Я стараюсь делать всё от меня
зависящее при изучении английского языка.

(более
подробно – стр.37,46-47) (быть готовым(ой) ответить на вопрос о том, как ты
изучаешь иностранный язык (стр.47)).

                         
  9) Английский язык в современном мире

            About
20% (twenty per cent) of the world’s population speak English. Doctors and
scientists all over the world exchange their ideas in English. Every pilot and
ship’s captain must speak English to communicate with each other. Most of world
known singers sing their songs in English. English is the language of politicians.
Most international journalists have to know English, too. 80% (eighty per cent)
of all information in the world’s computers is in English.

           English
is spoken (as a first language) in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United
Kingdom, the United States, etc. (et cetera). People in 30 (thirty) countries
speak English as a second language. English is the only solution to
communication problems in India where people speak different languages. About
70% (seventy per cent) of Russian students choose English as their first
foreign language.

           
So, I think that now it’s very important to know a foreign language. I like
studying English because I want to read English newspapers, magazines and
original books. It’s difficult but very interesting.

           
Около 20% мирового населения говорит на английском языке. Доктора и учёные со
всего мира обмениваются идеями на английском языке. Каждый пилот и капитан
корабля должен уметь говорить на английском, чтобы общаться друг с другом.
Большинство всемирно известных певцов поют песни на английском языке.
Английский – это язык политиков. Большинство международных журналистов  также
должны знать английский. 80% информации в компьютерах на английском языке.

          
На английском (в качестве первого языка) говорят в Австралии, Канаде, Новой
Зеландии, Великобритании, в США и т.д. Люди в 30 странах говорят на английском
как на втором языке. Английский – единственное решение коммуникативных проблем
в Индии, где люди говорят на разных языках. Около 70% российских учеников
выбирают английский первым иностранным языком.

         
Итак, я думаю, что сегодня важно изучать иностранный язык. Я люблю изучать
английский язык, потому что хочу читать английские газеты, журналы и книги в
оригинале. Это трудно, но очень интересно.

(более подробно – стр.38, 44).

                                      
     10) Англоговорящие страны

         I
would like to tell you about English-speaking countries: the USA, Canada and
the UK.

        One
of the most powerful countries is the USA. The capital of the USA is
Washington. English is the official language in this country. But the official
language spoken in the USA is known as American English. The second important
language in the United States is Spanish.

         Canada
is the second largest country in the world. The capital of Canada is Ottawa.
The maple tree is the official emblem of Canada. There are two official
languages in the country: English and French.

         One
of the world’s smallest countries is the UK. The capital of the UK is London.
The official language is English. My dream is to visit London. I hope that my dream will come true.

         
Я бы хотела рассказать вам об англоговорящих странах: США, Канаде и Великобритании.

         
США является одной из самых могущественных стран. Столица США – Вашингтон.
Английский – официальный язык в этой стране. Но официальный язык, на котором
говорят в этой стране, известен как американский вариант английского языка.
Второй важный язык в США – испанский.

         
Канада — вторая по величине страна в мире. Столица Канады – Оттава. Кленовый
лист – официальная эмблема Канады. В этой стране 2 официальных языка:
английский и французский.

         
Одна из самых маленьких стран в мире – Великобритания. Столица Великобритании —
Лондон. Официальный язык – английский. Моя мечта – посетить Лондон. Я надеюсь,
что моя мечта осуществится.

(более
подробно – стр.40-41) (быть готовым(ой) ответить на вопрос об Австралии и Новой
Зеландии).

          
                                         11) Моя страна

       I
would like to tell you about my country. Russia is one of the largest countries
in the world. Its total area is over 17 (seventeen) million square kilometers.
The population of Russia is about 150 (one hundred and fifty) million. The
official language is Russian.

        Moscow
is the capital of our country. It was founded in 1147 (eleven forty-seven). It
is a nice city. The Moscow Kremlin is very nice.

        Winters
in Russia are cold, springs and autumns are warm and cool, summers are hot and
warm. There are many seas, lakes and rivers in Russia. The longest rivers are
the Volga, the Yenisei and the Ob. The deepest lakes are the Baikal and the
Ladoga.

         The
Russian Federation is very rich in mineral resources, such as oil, natural gas,
coal, iron, gold and others.

           Russia
borders on many countries. Among them are Estonia, Latvia, Finland. But Russia
is the best country in the world. I like it very much.

           Я бы хотел(а) рассказать вам
о своей стране. Россия – одна из самых больших стран в мире. Общая площадь
составляет около 17 млн.кв.км. Численность населения России свыше 150 млн.
человек. Официальный язык- русский.

          
 Москва – столица нашей родины. Она была основана в 1147 году. Московский
Кремль очень красив. Зимы в России холодные, весна и осень – тёплые и
прохладные, лето – жаркое и тёплое.

            
В России много морей, озёр и рек. Самые длинные реки – Волга, Енисей и Обь.
Самые глубокие озёра – Байкал и Ладожское.

            
Российская Федерация богата минеральными ресурсами: нефтью, природным газом,
углём, железом, золотом и другими.

             
Россия граничит со многими странами. Среди них Эстония, Латвия, Финляндия. Но Россия
– самая лучшая страна в мире. Я её очень люблю.

(быть
готовым(ой) ответить на вопрос, был(а) ли в Москве и об её
достопримечательностях, о знаменитых людях и городах России).

                                  
        12) Изучение русского языка

            It
is necessary to learn Russian because it’s our native language. That’s why
pupils in our country have got such a subject at school. Russian is an
international language. It is important for teenagers from other countries to
learn Russian because it’s a foreign language for them. If they go to Russia,
they will be able to speak Russian there. They learn Russian because they want
to read Russian literature in the original. Teenagers from other countries know
and like such Russian writers as Pushkin, Turgenev, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky and
others. If they can speak Russian, it will be easy for them to visit
international friendship camps and communicate with teenagers from Russia.

            
As for me, I like Russian. Russian language is a wonderful language. It’s the
language of great literature. I think that to know Russian today is absolutely
necessary for every educated Russian person.

            
Необходимо
изучать русский язык, так как это наш родной язык. Поэтому у учеников в нашей
стране есть такой предмет в школе. Русский язык – международный язык. Для
подростков из других стран важно изучать русский язык, потому что это для них
иностранный язык. Если они поедут в Россию, они будут в состоянии говорить там
на иностранном языке. Они изучают русский язык, потому что хотят читать русскую
литературу в оригинале. Подростки из других стран знают и любят таких русских
писателей, как Пушкин, Тургенев, Толстой, Достоевский и других. Если они могут
говорить на русском, для них будет просто посетить международные лагеря дружбы 
и пообщаться с подростками из России.

            
Что касается меня, я люблю русский язык. Русский язык – удивительный язык. Это
язык великой литературы. Я думаю, что знать русский язык сегодня абсолютно
необходимо каждому образованному русскому человеку.

(информация
о Девятой международной олимпиаде по русскому языку – на стр.48-49).

            
                         13)
Различные виды транспорта

       There
are different kinds of transport: a train, a helicopter, a plane, a bus, a car,
a bicycle, a motorcycle, a ship, a boat and others. Lots of people in Russia
live far from their work. They often go by train or by bus from the suburbs
into the centre of the town to work. Almost all people like to travel. When you
are on holiday you can travel by car, by train, by plane and by ship.

        I
like to travel by car (by train, by plane, by bus, by bike). It is the most
comfortable (the cheapest, the fastest, the safest) kind of transport and
interesting, too. You can see many things in a short time. When we go by car
(by train, by plane, by bus, by bike), we don’t need (need) to buy tickets and
we put all the things we need into the car (we enjoy seeing a lot of beautiful
places).

         I
thing that travelling is a very enjoyable thing for us and I enjoy all kinds of
travelling very much.

         Существуют различные виды
транспорта: поезд, вертолёт, самолёт, автобус, машина, велосипед, мотоцикл,
корабль, лодка и другие. Многие люди в России живут далеко от места работы. Они
часто добираются до места работы с окраин в центр города на поезде или на
автобусе. Почти все люди любят путешествовать. Когда у вас каникулы, вы можете
путешествовать на машине, на поезде, на самолёте и на корабле.

        
Я люблю путешествовать на машине (на поезде, на самолёте, на автобусе, на
велосипеде). Это самый комфортный (дешёвый, быстрый, безопасный) вид
транспорта, а также интересный. Вы можете увидеть много вещей за короткое
время. Когда мы едем на машине (на поезде, на самолёте, на автобусе), нам не
нужно (нужно) покупать билеты, и мы кладём все вещи в машину (мы наслаждаемся
созерцанием множества прекрасных мест).

        
Я думаю, что путешествие – очень приятная для нас вещь, и я наслаждаюсь всеми
видами путешествия.

(более
подробная информация на стр.53-55).

(быть
готовым(ой) ответить на вопрос из упр.89).

                                         14) Проблемы подростков

         Teenagers
all over the world have many problems. They have problems with parents, they can’t
get along with their sisters and brothers; have problems at school, with their
teachers, friends and classmates.

         As
for me, I have problems with my homework. I am not allowed to go out in the
evening because there is too much homework to do. Sometimes I argue with my
parents. They don’t allow me to watch TV late and to play computer games for a
long time because it’s bad for my eyes and some TV programmes are too violent.
I feel upset and lonely when I have an argument with my parents. Sometimes my
parents and my teachers aren’t happy with my marks at school. I get so angry
about it! They can’t realize that I can’t do better (that I try to do my best
at school).

         
So, though I have some problems, I am a happy person. I like my parents and my
friends very much.

          Подростки во всём мире имеют
множество проблем. У них проблемы с родителями, они не могут поладить со своими
сёстрами и братьями; имеют проблемы в школе, с учителями, друзьями и
одноклассниками.

         
Что касается меня, у меня проблемы с домашним заданием. Мне не разрешают гулять
вечером, потому что у меня много заданий на дом. Иногда я спорю со своими
родителями. Они не разрешают мне поздно смотреть телевизор и долго играть в
компьютерные игры, так как это вредно для глаз и некоторые телевизионные
программы слишком жестоки. Я чувствую себя расстроенным(ой) и одиноким(ой),
когда ссорюсь с родителями. Иногда мои родители и учителя недовольны моими
оценками в школе. Я так сержусь из-за этого! Они не могут понять, что я не могу
учиться лучше (что я стараюсь сделать в школе всё от меня зависящее).

           
Итак, хотя у меня есть некоторые проблемы, я — счастливый человек. Я очень
люблю своих родителей и друзей.

(более
подробно – стр.62-64).

             
                              15) Школа в нашей жизни

          At
the age of 6 (six) or 7 (seven) all boys and girls go to school. I go to
school, too. My school is large and light. It is neither old nor new. It has
three floors. My school has many classrooms, a library, a hall, a dining-room.
There is a gymnasium near the dining-room. I like to go there because I like
physical training lessons.

           School
plays a very important role in our life. It’s a place where we make friends,
where it is fun; where we learn about people as well as subjects, where we take
exams and write tests too often. It’s a place which helps us to find a good job
in the future.

           
I like my school very much because my school is nice, it is not far from my
house and my friends go to the same school. Our teachers are good. They are
quite strict but they have a sense of humour. I like studying in my school.

            
В возрасте 6-7 лет мальчики и девочки идут в школу. Я тоже хожу в школу. Моя
школа большая и светлая. Она ни старая, ни новая. У неё 3 этажа. В моей школе
много кабинетов, библиотека, актовый зал, столовая. Рядом со столовой спортзал.
Мне нравится ходить туда, потому что я люблю уроки физкультуры.

            
Школа играет очень важную роль в нашей жизни. Это место, где мы находим друзей,
где весело; где мы узнаём о людях и предметах, где также мы часто сдаём
экзамены и пишем контрольные работы. Это место, которое помогает нам найти
хорошую работу в будущем.

             
Я очень люблю свою школу, потому что моя школа красивая, недалеко от моего дома
и мои друзья ходят в эту же школу. У нас  хорошие учителя. Они довольно
строгие, но с чувством юмора. Мне нравится учиться в моей школе.

(более
подробно – стр.68,71).

(быть
готовым(ой) ответить на вопрос, каким должен быть ученик и каким должен быть
учитель, какой ты видишь школу своей мечты). (стр.72).

                                 
    16) Различные виды наказания

            Students
are very “inventive” in their ways to make teachers’ lives hard. There are some
punishments used in British and some Russian schools: lines, detention, report,
suspension, exclusion.

            When
a teacher gives you “lines”, you write out some sentence again and again. For
example, “I must do my homework”.

            If
you are in detention, you do extra work – perhaps clean the classroom.  If you
are “on report”, teacher reports that you have behaved badly.

            If
you are suspended, you cannot come to school for a few days or weeks. This is
serious. If you are excluded, you have to go to another school where the
teachers all know about your bad behaviour. It’s very serious.

           
I think that the easiest punishment is report, the hardest – exclusion, the
most effective – detention.

           Школьники очень  «изобретательны»
в способах усложнить жизнь учителям. Существуют несколько наказаний в
британских и некоторых русских школах: наказание письмом, оставление после уроков,
запись в дневнике, временное исключение из школы, исключение из школы.

          
Когда учитель «наказывает тебя письмом», ты снова и снова пишешь одно и то же
предложение. Например, «Я должен делать домашнее задание».

           
Если тебя оставили после уроков, ты выполняешь дополнительную работу –
возможно, убираешься  в классе. Если ты наказан(а) записью в дневнике, учитель записывает,
что ты плохо себя вёл.

          
Если тебя временно исключили из школы, ты не можешь приходить в школу несколько
дней или недель. Это серьёзно. Если тебя исключили из школы, ты вынужден идти в
другую школу, где все учителя знают о твоём плохом поведении.

            
Я считаю, что самое простое наказание – запись в дневнике, самое суровое –
исключение из школы, самое эффективное – оставление после уроков.   (более подробно
– стр.82-83). (о правилах поведения – стр. 83).

                                      17)
Кодекс правил поведения            

           
The Code of conduct is used
in British schools. Our school rules have much in common with them.

            
First of all, always do your best in school. Be on time, don’t be late. Be
polite with your teachers. Don’t waste your time. Be quiet around the school.
Think safety first. Use entrances, exists and toilets properly. Keep valuables
at home. Smoking is prohibited. Eating, chewing is only possible at breaks and
lunch times. Be sensible in bad weather. Wear warmly clothes. Play in the right
place. Follow these rules in order not to be punished.

             I
would like to add that you must not miss your lessons, get bad marks, talk with
your classmates during the lesson and prompt them when they answer. Wear school
uniform and always do your homework. I try to follow these rules.

            
В британских
школах используется кодекс правил поведения. У наших школьных правил много
общего с ними.

            
Прежде всего, делай всё от себя зависящее в школе. Приходи вовремя, не
опаздывай. Будь вежлив с учителями. Не теряй времени. В школе будь спокоен.
Помни: главное – безопасность. Пользуйся входом, выходом и туалетом по
назначению. Держи ценные вещи дома. Курение запрещено. Есть и жевать можно
только на переменах и в обеденное время. В плохую погоду будь разумен. Одевайся
тепло. Играй в надлежащем месте. Следуй этим правилам, чтобы избежать
наказания.

             
Мне хотелось бы добавить, что ты не должен пропускать занятия, получать плохие
оценки, разговаривать со своими одноклассниками во время урока и подсказывать
им, когда они отвечают. Носи школьную форму и всегда выполняй домашнее задание.
Я стараюсь следовать этим правилам.

18) Виды спорта

          Sport
is very important to us. It is popular among young and old people. Sport makes
people healthy, keeps them fit, more organized and better disciplined. It
unites people of different classes and nationalities.

         
There are summer and winter sports. Summer sports are football, horse riding,
tennis, cycling, rugby, athletics which includes running, jumping and other
things. Winter sports are figure skating, hockey, ice-skating, skiing.

         
There are several popular sports in our country: football, volley-ball, hockey,
gymnastics, skiing and figure skating. As for me, football (basketball,
volley-ball, tennis, swimming) is the most interesting than anything else. I’m
not just a football fan, I’m a player as well. I take part in different sports
competitions together with my friends. We always try to get good results and
win.

          Спорт очень важен для нас. Он популярен среди молодых и пожилых людей. Спорт делает
людей здоровыми, держит в хорошей форме, делает более организованными и более
дисциплинированными. Он объединяет людей разных сословий и национальностей.

         
Существуют летние и зимние виды спорта. К летним видам спорта относятся футбол,
конный спорт, теннис, велоспорт, регби, лёгкая атлетика, которая включает в
себя бег, прыжки и другие виды. К зимним видам спорта относятся фигурное
катание, хоккей, конькобежный спорт, лыжный спорт.

        
В нашей стране несколько популярных видов спорта: футбол, волейбол, хоккей,
гимнастика, лыжный спорт и фигурное катание. Что касается меня, футбол
(баскетбол, волейбол, теннис, плавание) интереснее всего. Я не только
футбольный болельщик, но и игрок. Я принимаю участие в различных спортивных
соревнованиях вместе с моими друзьями. Мы всегда стараемся показывать хорошие
результаты и побеждать.

19) Здоровый образ жизни

          People
of all ages and types join different sports clubs, go jogging in the park or do
exercises at home to improve their health and to keep fit.  

          If
you want to be healthy you should eat more fruit and vegetables. There are a
lot of vitamins in fruit and vegetables. Each vitamin is responsible for
different things in the human body. For example, vitamin A is in green apples
and yellow vegetables, milk and eggs. It’s necessary for seeing in the dark.
Vitamin B is in meat, porridge and bread. It’s responsible for the nervous
system. Vitamin C is in every fruit and vegetable. It helps to prevent colds.

          
As for me, I do morning exercises, try to avoid fast food, eat fruit and
vegetables. I don’t have bad habits like smoking, alcohol, drugs. I spend a lot
of time in the open air and advise all the people to do the same.

            Люди всех возрастов и типов
посещают различные спортивные клубы, бегают в парке или делают зарядку дома,
чтобы улучшить своё здоровье и быть в форме.

          
Если вы хотите быть здоровыми, ешьте больше фруктов и овощей. Много витаминов
во фруктах и овощах. Каждый витамин отвечает за разные процессы в человеческом
теле. Например, витамин А содержится в зелёных яблоках и жёлтых овощах, молоке
и яйцах. Он необходим для ночного зрения. Витамин Б – в мясе, овсяной каше и
хлебе. Он отвечает за нервную систему. Витамин Ц – в каждом фрукте и овоще. Он
помогает предотвратить простуду.

           
Что касается меня, я делаю утреннюю зарядку, стараюсь избегать продуктов
быстрого приготовления, ем фрукты и овощи. У меня нет дурных привычек (курение,
алкоголь, наркотики). Я провожу много времени на свежем воздухе и советую всем
людям делать то же самое.

(более подробно – стр.104, 109).

                                      
20) Олимпийские чемпионы

        The Olympic
Games are the most important sports event in the world. They are held every
four years. Five linked rings are the emblem of the Olympic games. These rings
represent five parts of the world: Europe, America, Australia, Africa, Asia.
The greatest wish for all the sportsmen is to win a medal, or simply to take
part in the Olympic Games.

        I
know some Olympic champions. For example, Olga Korbut is the Olympic champion
in gymnastics, Lyubov Egorova – in skiing, Vladislav Tretyak – in ice hockey,
Vladimir Salnikov – in swimming, Sergey Bubka – in athletics, Irina Rodnina –
in figure skating.

        The
22nd (twenty-second) Summer Olympic Games were held in Moscow in 1980 (nineteen
eighty).The 22nd (twenty-second) Winter Olympic Games were held in Sochi. I
enjoy watching the Olympic Games on TV. It’s really very interesting and
exciting!

         Олимпийские игры – самое
важное спортивное событие в мире. Они проводятся каждые 4 года. Пять
соединённых колец – эмблема Олимпийских игр. Эти кольца представляют 5 частей света:
Европу, Америку, Австралию, Африку, Азию. Самое большое желание всех
спортсменов – выиграть медаль или просто принять участие в Олимпийских играх.

        
Я знаю некоторых Олимпийских чемпионов. Например, Ольга Корбут – Олимпийская
чемпионка по гимнастике, Любовь Егорова – по лыжному спорту, Владислав Третьяк
– по хоккею, Владимир Сальников – по плаванию, Сергей Бубка – по лёгкой
атлетике, Ирина Роднина – по фигурному катанию.

      
22-е Летние Олимпийские игры проходили в Москве в 1980-м году. 22-е Зимние
Олимпийские игры проходили в Сочи. Я люблю смотреть Олимпийские игры по
телевизору. Это, действительно, очень интересно и волнующе!

Тест по чтению для 7 класса #1. My New School Is Fantastic

Rita Nelson is fourteen, and she has changed her school because her parents moved to another town this summer.

“Let me tell you about my new school. I’m having a great time. All pupils are very friendly, but it’s very different from my old school. I can tell you! First of all school starts at 8.00 here, a whole hour before it did in that school. This morning I forgot about it and got to school ten minutes late, so the teacher put a note into my record-book. I was really angry!

There are a lot of other differences in this school, of course. We have seven lessons here almost every day. What else? The school day is different, too. In my former school we finished school at 3.00, and then most pupils went home. Here we finish lessons at 3.30, and then most pupils go to sports practice. Well, they love sports here.

I joined gymnastics and football clubs here. A lot of girls play football in this school. I had my first practice yesterday, and I feel tired today.

Another important thing here is learning to do practical things. Their metal and wood shops are like small factories, and we are taught to drive as well. It’s fantastic. I had my first lesson in driving a tractor yesterday.”

Текст для чтения для 7 класса #2 — Mysterious Monster

At different times, thousands of people say that they have seen a large animal in the famous lake called Loch Ness in Scotland. For many centuries, people have tried to catch it. People who live there always talk about the mysterious animal in the lake, and many of them believe that it is still there today.

In 1933, John McGregor, a local businessman, saw that the lake began to bubble, and a huge animal with two humps came out of it.

After that, scientists examined the lake with underwater equipment and tried to find out what kind of animal lived there. Of course, they haven’t found it yet, because the lake is so deep and so dark.

Tourists from all over the world have visited Loch Ness, they hope to see the monster. They have even given it a nickname “Nessie”. Many people even show photos of the monster, but they are usually photos of the pictures of the monster. Scientists suppose that the Loch Ness monster is a dinosaur, which has survived since the Ice Age.

Here is a description of the monster:

• Length: About 50 metres.
• Body: With two humps.
• Half horse, half snake and quite small.
• Long and thin, like a giraffe.
• Yellow-brown.
• People think that it eats sheep on land and underwater plants.
• Shy, doesn’t want to be seen.
• Lives in the deepest and coldest parts of the lake about 1 km from the surface.

Текст для чтения по английскому языку для 7 класса #3. — Music in the Streets

As you go home after a hard day’s work, and you get off the metro train, you sometimes have to walk a long way to the exit or to change trains. Suddenly in the noise, some music is heard. Those are street musicians. You take out a coin from your pocket and throw it into their hat or instrument case. These musicians bring color and life to the city streets. Street musicians are aged between 17 and 30 years. Some of them are men, some women. They play classical music, pop or folk music, old and new songs. Many musicians are former university students or professional musicians.

Andrew Hain, for example, was once a music student, but he gave up music and became a painter. Now he plays in the underground because he doesn’t want to forget how to play. His girlfriend is a painter, too. She helps him to collect the money. Another street musician, David MacNell, tells new players:

“Learn new songs all the time, or else you’ll have fewer and fewer listeners. Wear bright clothes to attract attention. Make sure that the places where you choose to play are warm. The best places are bridges and certainly the underground.”

On Sundays, Hyde Park is the best place, as the speakers here address the people. The street musicians are doing their business with the many tourists who visit the park. The weather is one of the worst problems. It is not so easy to play the violin or the guitar on a rainy November day in London and try to smile.

A much worse problem is the police. From time to time, they come, and the musicians are moved to a different place. True, they are not often fined. One musician told me:

“The policeman asked me what I was doing. I said I was just practising. Some money just fell out of my pocket into the guitar case, and I was told to leave my place. I think it’s not fair. People love street music. It makes the city more attractive.”
