Family

   There is a wise saying "Blood is thicker than water". It means that our friends are unstable, while our parents and reatives stay with us all our life. in happy, friendly, united families parents are honest with their children. and children try to be honest and loving.

   Each family has its own traditions. My family also has some traditions... We try to spend a lot of time together.My mum cooks something tasty. We drink tea and discuss our daily routine. Every Sunday we have a large family dinner. But my favourite traditions are celebrating family holidays and taking vacations. My family celebrate Easter, Christmas and New Year. I think following family traditions is very important.

   For me my family is the only place where I can find suppor and relaxation.

Friendship

   Friendship plays an important role in our life because we all need friends. Friendship is a million little things: talks, common interests, smiles, having fun and sharing sorrows. Friendship is a great gift.It is necessary to have a person you can rely on. Close friends usually have similar ideas and beliefs. They understand, respect and trust each other. Your best friend helps you when you have problems. 

   I have got a lot of friends, but my best friend is... . He/she is ... .

   I'm proud of having such a friend. I hope that our frienship will last forever.

Weather ['weðə] and climate ['klaɪmət]

   In my view [vjuː], a person's life depends to a certain ['sɜːt(ə)n] degree on the climatic [klaɪ'mætɪk] conditions he lives. English people say "There is no bad weather, there are bad chlothes", but in reality bad weather influences our mood, emotions and physical ['fɪzɪk(ə)l] state [steɪt] (состояние) . 

   Climate ['klaɪmət] isn't the same as weather. Climate ['klaɪmət] shows the average ['æv(ə)rɪʤ] weather conditions over a long period of time. There are different types of climate ['klaɪmət]: tropical, continental [ˌkɔntɪ'nent(ə)l], polar ['pəulə], moderate ['mɔd(ə)rət], etc. Weather is the state of the atmosphere ['ætməsfɪə] over a short period of time. weather can be dry, wet, cold, hot, rainy, stormy, sunny, windy, cloudy.

   British people say that they have no climate, only weather. Britain's weather is very changeable and unpredictable. It's the most popular topic of conversation. As for Belarusian climate ['klaɪmət], it's moderately continental with mild , humid winters, warm summers and damp autumns ['ɔːtəmz] and springs. Belarusian spring and autumn ['ɔːtəm] can be very rainy. But every season is beautiful and plesant in its way.

   Some weather conditions can affect [ə'fekt] our health and mood. High temperatures cause [kɔːz]  stress and heart attacks. Windy or rainy weather can make people feel depressed. Cold weather causes colds. But you should enjoy all kinds [kaɪndz] of weather to be happy. Just choose the right clothes and enjoy any kind [kaɪnd] of weather.

№ 1 BOOKS IN NEVER-ENDING MOTION

1. Read the article and say in 2-3 sentences what it is about.

Librarians arc saddened by the fact that young people tend only to borrow reference books rather than reading fiction for pleasure. Perhaps it's unfashionable to read these days. However, a new trend is developing, with literary lovers leaving their books in public places, to be picked up and 'borrowed' by others.

The Belarusian National Technical University was the first to support the idea in our country. Several years ago, the Director of its scientific library, Alexey Skalaban, passed an internship in Sweden. At the airport, he saw a huge glass case of books, which he learnt were available for anyone to read. It was a great idea. The question was only where such books might be kept in Minsk.

"Initially, we crcated a shelf in the reading hall of the University's scientific library. Later, we installed a case in the main building. It's available to everyone," explains Mr. Skalaban. "We want to encourage young people to read. Book-crossing is an easy way to do this." Alcxcy is looking at a website devoted to book-crossing. "Look, we've set free almost 700 books," he admits with pride. On the day I visited, I saw only two books in the case. The inside covcr has a plate stating that it is part of the book-crossing programme, alongside a registration number showing who donated the book and when.

Library staff, students and even residents of neighbouring houses bring books. Additionally, publishing houses have donated some editions. Every year, more such 'safe' places are found. Not long ago, a Minsk night club installed a shelf of books. While some people dance, others gather by the shelves of books, magazines and discs. "We've subscribed to several magazines, while books are brought in by our guests, staff and musicians. This is how our collection grows," says Yan Busel, who co-owns the club.

Book-crossing is gaining popularity, with safe shelves found in many libraries, as well as cafes and educational establishments. No doubt, it's a great way to attract visitors.

2. The author says what makes librarians unhappy. Find this extract and read it aloud.

3. Who was the first to introduce book-crossing in our country?

4. Why is book-crossing becoming more and more popular in Belarus?

№ 2 E-BOOKS

1. Read the article and say in 2-3 sentences what it is about.

There is no doubt that classical paper textbooks' days are numbered. With this in mind, the Education Ministry's initiative is welcome, giving the opportunity to experiment with electronic tablet devices for educational purposes. Initially, pupils at the Belarusian State University's Lyceum will be the first to receive their own personal e-books, loaded with digital copies of ordinary school textbooks and additional materials for independent work.

In fact, Sakrament IT — a High-Tech Park resident has already developed prototypes of such textbooks in the Republic, as part of a UNESCO project. E-books initially prepared for those with sight problems use software that can voice any text, describing diagrams and tables. This can be offered as an additional option for children with full sight. Listening to teaching materials can be very useful and is a good use of travel time.

"Technically and intellectually schoolchildren are ready to work with multimedia textbooks. Our research shows that they enjoy working in this way and learn better using software," explains the director of Sakrament IT, Valery Yegorov. "As regards the cost to the state budget, we believe that each schoolchild will use their own phone or mobile computer device to download our textbooks. Only families on low incomes will need computers bought for them."

Yegorov agrees that reading texts on small smartphone screens is problematic but listening is possible. On coming home, or at school, a child can download a text to their computer, viewing it on a large screen. Moreover, it's possible to buy second hand computers cheaply. With this in mind, it seems likely that the education system will accept the proposal.

Calculations show that the project will fully cover its costs in the first year of operation; moreover, a $6 million profit is expected. Sakrament IT is now planning to develop multimedia textbooks for higher educational establishments, having found that almost 90 percent of students arc ready to buy such devices.

2. The author says that pupils are ready to use e-books and the project is not expensive. Find this extract and read it aloud.

3. Who will be the first to get e-books?

4. Why do they expect that this project will be successful?

MAKE THE DREAM COME TRUE! текст № 7

1. Read the article and say in 2-3 sentences what it is about.

Many people who are led up with living in overcrowded and polluted cities dream of moving to the country and having their own small farm, or smallholding*. The Telegraph newspaper published a report about families who had attempted to make that dream come true. One couple, Ed and Sally Budd, bought a small farm a few months ago. It consisted of a house in need of some repair and a plot of land. Ed and Sally are planning to restore the house and they have already begun growing vegetables. They've also got a few cows and sheep. Both Ed and Sally work in London and only visit their smallholding at weekends. Fortunately, a local farmer looks after their animals during the week in return for keeping his own animals on their land.

So far Ed and Sally are enthusiastic and they aren't at all afraid of all the hard work that they still have to do. Sally told the newspaper: "Eventually, we want to live all year round on our smallholding. We want our children to grow up here and to be able to play in the woods."

Of course, some people are very enthusiastic at the beginning, but they soon start making mistakes. The Telegraph describes the experience of two people, Liz Sharkland and Gerry Toms, who had a rather bad start. "We began in completely the wrong way," says Liz. "We saw an advertisement in the paper for this beautiful old farmhouse. We came up to see it and loved it immediately. It was July and the weather was very hot. We bought the place and moved in late autumn. Then it began to rain." The fields turned into mud and Liz and Gerry found that it was not suitable for keeping animals. Gradually, however, Liz and Gerry started to make progress. They learned a lot from simply living on the smallholding. Then Liz attended a smallholding course and studied for a Higher National Diploma in countryside management. Liz has now gained enough experience to be able to offer expert advice to other people who want to start a smallholding.

Living close to nature can be very rewarding*, but making a success of it requires a lot of hard work.

2. Read aloud the extract where Sally says why they want to live in the country.
3. What does the newspaper report say about Ed and Sally?
4. What mistake did Liz and Gerry make?

HOW TO BECOME A WINNER - текст № 8

1. Read the article and say in 2-3 sentences what it is about.

All sports people are under a lot of pressure to win. They also experience powerful emotions. When they win or do well, they feel excited and extremely happy. But when things go badly, they feel depressed and anxious. This is why athletes have to be mentally strong. In the past, athletes only trained to get physically fit. Today, professional sportsmen learn to control their mind too. England rugby player Johnny Wilkinson played brilliantly at the Rugby World Cup in 2003. But after that things started to go wrong. He was injured a lot and he wasn't playing so well. He told The Times: "I couldn't control my emotions. Things were going wrong and 1 couldn't do anything about the situation. The problem was that I couldn't control my mind. If I wanted to feel better, I knew I had to learn how to control it."

He read lots of books to try to understand how to solve the problem. He found the answer in books. Wilkinson said: "The books tell us that reality changes depending on how we look at it. This made me understand that I was making my own problems. I could solve my problems if I looked at reality differently."

In team sports such as football, it is important to create a team spirit. This can be very difficult because teams consist of people with different personalities. Professor Dave Collins is a sports psychologist. He says: "A team is like a monster with 11 heads. It's not easy to get all the players think in the same way, to help one another and to work together. But when you see a team that works as a unit, everything happens naturally and easily."

When there is a team spirit, the players help one another. They all take responsibility when things go badly. They do not blame individual players for mistakes. In this way, each player feels more confident and can concentrate better on the game.

Today, sports psychologists have an important job to do. They help athletes become mentally fit and develop a winning mentality. Having a winning mentality really can make a difference between winning and losing.

2. Read aloud the extract which says about the importance of being mentally strong.
3. What does the article say about Johnny Wilkinson?
4. Why is it important to create a team spirit?

№ 1

1. Read the article and say in 2-3 sentences what it is about.

"Researching family history is a true passion rather than just a hobby for many people", says Julie Mason. "It is wonderfully exciting when you learn more about the ancestors."
Julie began researching her family's past in order to find out her roots. She says: "When you discover your roots, it gives you understanding who you are." John Paul Thompson, has a different reason for wanting to research his family's history. "After my father died I found myself with photo albums full of old photographs with no labels. 1 wanted to find out more about the others." Some of the things that people discover about their families can be very surprising. When Jean Sandwell researched her family history she had a very big shock. She found out that she had been adopted as a baby. After she had accepted this situation, Jean tried to find her real parents. "I discovered that my mother emigrated to Australia in 1966," says Jean. "In 1982 I went to Australia to meet her. It was a very emotional experience for both of us."
So what is the best way to start researching your family history? "Interview all your family members before it is too late," says Julie Mason. "Make a basic family tree of your close family and step by step make it bigger. Of course, it is not easy to have accurate information from relatives about things that happened in the distant past. It is quite normal for different family members give different versions of the same events. It is very important to chcck everything."
Public records in local libraries and in national archives are also important to the family historian. Old newspaper reports are often kept on in local libraries. Sometimes, researching your family history can be lonely work. Remember that you can find a lot of help on the internet. Of course, it is not easy to trace your family history a long way back and you must be very patient. Believe me, in the future, your children, and their children may be very grateful to you for recording it.

3. Why do people start tracing their family histories?
4. What recommendations does the author give to discover your roots?
2. Jean Sandwell made a shocking discovery. Read aloud the extract which says about it.

№2 PERFECT METHOD OF TEACHING AND LEARNING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE

1. Read the article and say in 2-3 sentences what it is about.

Students in my English classes sometimes ask for my opinion on the best method of learning a foreign language. The answer I give is always the same: learning a foreign language can never be quick and easy. There is no single method that can guarantee success.
In the Callan Method, the teacher talks a lot and makes the students repeat questions and answers. By contrast, in the Silent Way Method, invented by Dr Caleb Gattcgno, the teacher tries not to talk at all! The teacher uses pictures, diagrams, objects to give the students problem-solving activities. The idea is that students learn better if they can discover the rules by themselves. Certainly that is an important part of learning. But I'm not sure it can guarantee success.
I think that it is wrong to look for a method of teaching/learning that gives all the answers. Often, the method is not so important. Obviously, you need good materials (e.g.: a good course book, etc) that arc interesting and dear. And you need a good teacher too. The individual qualities of the teacher are very important. The teacher and the students must have a good relationship. The students must like their teacher. That is one important way to help make learning fun.
At the same time, we have to recognize that you can't make progress without doing some old-fashioned hard work. There must be a method involved in teaching and learning, but the same method doesn't work for everyone. People are different and they have different reasons for wanting to learn. The method will naturally change depending on the purpose of the lesson. However, it is important that each lesson should have a clear objective. The material should be presented in a contcxt. There should be practice and consolidation work. Students should use all four language skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing.
There is nothing revolutionary about these ideas. But they give the best chances of success for different kinds of learners.

2. The article says about the Silent Way Method and the Callan Method. Read aloud the extract which says about it.
3. What does the writer answer when asked about the best teaching method?
4. What is really important for learning a foreign language according to the author?
