One
of the oldest schools in the world is а school in China. It was organized in
the year 143 ВС and it was the first Chinese public school. Soon after that the
building of the school was destroyed in а fire but the school was rebuilt а
couple of years later. This was not the end for the tests of life for this
school. The school was destroyed bу wars mаnу times and only ruins remained.
But each time it was rebuilt again and again. It survived hurricanes and
earthquakes, blizzards and storms. In the twentieth century it was called а
model for secondary schools nationwide. For many Chinese students it is а great
honour to study at that school. Would you like to study in such а school?

A typical English school
A.
Chiswick School is a secondary school in London. It has about 1.250
pupils between the ages of 11 and 19. Like in most British schools, all the
pupils study the same subjects in the first three years. Then they work for
their GCSE exams – usually taking about nine subjects. Everyone takes English,
Maths and Science, but there is quite a wide choice of other subjects. After
the exams, some pupils leave and get jobs; others go on to do their A levels at
other schools or further education college; some stay on in school.
B.
There are six tennis courts, a gym, two squash courts and a large games
field, where boys and girls play football and hockey. Pupils can also row on
the nearby River Thames. There are also three main computer centres, and most
subjects (such as Chemistry and Languages) have their own computers. All pupils
study Information Technology. The school has a large library and a Learning
Resources Centre with photocopying facilities, computer scanners and printers.
C.
When the classes are over, Chiswick students are busy too. There is
judo, dance, cooking and chess provided by the school at lunch time and in the
afternoon. There are music and photography clubs. There is a theatre group
which puts on a play at the end of each year. The teachers and the parents
encourage as many pupils as possible to take part in numerous clubs. In the
holidays, the school organizes trips such as camping in Wales or skiing in
Switzerland.
D.
There is one basic law in the school: to respect others and their
property and behave in a normal, sensible way, with due consideration for the
health and safety of all. In really serious cases, it is possible to exclude
pupils for a period of time from school, or to expel them permanently. As in
most schools in Britain, pupils have to wear a uniform. There is some
resistance to wearing school uniform, but generally teachers and parents agree
that the uniform is good for discipline.
E.
If, as a pupil, you misbehave there is a system known as WRO – Warning,
Report, Out. First you get a warning from your teacher, you have to carry a
form around with you and the teacher signs it after each lesson – to show that
you were present and behave well. If you do anything wrong at this stage, you
are out; you have to go to the hall to join any other pupils in trouble. In the
hall, you all work in silence under the supervision of a teacher.

In the past,
travelling was а very risky adventure. There were no roads. The transport was
very primitive and slow. Many people travelled on foot and faced all sorts of
dangers from wild beasts, bad weather and robbers. Only the bravest people
dared to set out on а long journey. They preferred to travel in groups. Later
travellers learned how to train four-footed animals like the horse or the camel
and travelling became а little more comfortable. These days people travel in
comfort and nearly every country in the world has а network of railways and air
connections.
If your business
is very urgent you can travel bу air and arrive at your destination in no time.

Nature-friendly tourism
A. Tourism
has become a popular activity. Indeed, nowadays people travel more, and
further, than they used to. The main reasons for tourism are: recreation,
leisure and business. When travelling for recreation, people want to escape
their stressful daily routine and to relax. Beach holidays are an example of
leisure tourism. Business trips involve going to some distant place in order to
settle business issues.
B. When
people travel, they broaden their horizons. Whether on a business trip or on a
honeymoon, people want to explore the place they are in. They go on excursions,
try new activities like diving or mountain climbing, learn about the historical
background of the place, and buy souvenirs to remind them of the local cultural
peculiarities. Sometimes they find out amazing facts about people and places,
and about themselves, too!
C. Trips
can be spontaneous or well-planned, but before any planning is done, you need
to decide where you want to go. Lots of people prefer places where they can
enjoy the sea and the sun, that’s why tourism in countries like Turkey, Thailand,
Bali, Cyprus is quite a profitable industry. People who like winter leisure
activities go to ski resorts in France, Austria, Iceland, Serbia and so on.
D. A new
branch of tourism is ecotourism. It involves visiting relatively untouched
places in remote areas. Ecotourism is often misinterpreted as any form of
tourism involving wildlife - but it’s completely different from jungle tourism
or safari. Eco-tourists are against disturbing the environment; even taking
photos is not recommended. Take only memories and leave only footprints is a
very popular slogan for them.
E. By
educational tourism, most people mean different versions of Learn and Travel
Programmes for students. But it’s not only for the young and brave. Lots of
training and educational programmes for adults are offered in different corners
of the world. Retired people participate in these programmes too. They gladly
enroll on overseas courses ranging from gardening and design to computer skills
and programming.
F. With
all the benefits of travelling, it’s still a very expensive activity and may
not fit every budget. To reduce the costs, avoid travelling in high season when
flight tickets, hotels, food and excursions are overpriced. Remember that, as
well as the well-known, popular, and therefore most expensive, destinations,
there are less prestigious but even more interesting places. When planning a
trip, find out about low-cost airlines, discounts and special offers.
G. If
possible, consider means of transport other than the plane. Rapidly increasing
numbers of flights have put the environment in danger. Planes pollute the air,
which results in global warming. In fact, tourism is not harmless fun as many
may think: new airports and tourist infrastructure, pollution, and crowds of
noisy tourists make wild animals migrate, which may decrease their population
or even make them extinct.

The teaching profession has proved to be
one of the most popular careers among school graduates in the UК. The choice
was made out of 40 different professions on the list. About а third of the
participants were interested in teaching. Other professions that generated
interest included those of engineer, psychologist and artist. The medical
profession was not as popular as last year and only 10% of those questioned
expressed interest in being а doctor. Instead, journalism, police work and
social service have risen in popularity. The girls' preferences were teaching,
psychology and social work while boys were more inclined to choose а technical
walk of life. The majority of school leavers want to continue their studies in
some way while some 10% will work.

свои ответы в таблицу. Используйте каждую букву только один раз. В задании есть
один лишний заголовок.
1) Work abroad
2) Work pressure
3) A new attitude
4) Job interview
5) Career goals
6) Young slaves
7) Organizing work
8) Unpaid work
A Less
than 50% of the working population in Britain has a full-time and long-term
job. People have started to choose part-time work, self-employment, short-term
employment and job sharing. And this is happening all over Europe. The «job for
life» is dead. Our parents and grandparents didn’t want to change their jobs,
but now the situation is different. Young people prefer to try out new things.
B Every
year thousands of young people in Britain finish school and then take a year
off before they start work or go to university. Some young people go to other
countries and work as volunteers. Volunteers give their time to help people —
for example, they work in schools or hospitals, or they help with protecting the
environment. Volunteers don’t get any money but learn a lot about the world,
the people and themselves.
C The
phrase «child labour» describes work that harms children or doesn’t let them go
to school. Usually small children have to start working because their families
are extremely poor. They work under horrible conditions that are dangerous for
their health. Children have no choice and can’t say no to adults, who make them
do all sorts of tiring jobs. Child labour is illegal and is a shame for the
society.
D Some
stress at work is normal, but too much stress can be bad for your physical and
emotional health. It’s important to learn how to cope with stressful
situations. The problem is that stress influences the quality of your
communication with others: your family, friends and colleagues. The better you
are at managing your own stress, the more positively people will think about
you.
E It
seems that we all have the ability to manage our time and tasks. We need it to
combine studies, job, and family. Some of us do it easily. They are the
so-called «natural planners». These people write «to-do» lists every day and
tick off every task. They never start a new project without a plan; always
finish tasks in time, and follow timetables. At work natural planners are
usually very successful.
F Every
employee wants to be satisfied with his job. People want to grow
professionally, improve their knowledge and skills. They are always interested
in the financial aspects and feel upset if the salaries they get aren’t high
enough. Another thing people look for at work is stability. If a person has
that, he is interested in the success of his company.
G Opportunities
for international employment are huge. There are plenty of jobs available all
over the world. The application process can be difficult, but, the advantages
are many. There are organizations that can help you with the necessary work
papers and visas. Working overseas can be an ideal way of finding out about a
new country and its people. You get knowledge and develop skills for living in
a global culture.

First of all, I think that the Internet
brings us many benefits. People can have access to the latest news, weather,
traffic, bid-and-asked quotations, etc. Another important benefit is that the
Internet is a great means of communication. A few years ago it was rather
difficult to imagine that it would be possible to communicate with people from
all around the world. Students have the opportunity to speak to the professors
from prestigious universities, ask their opinions and extend their range of
interests. People have the opportunity to communicate with the people from
other countries, find out their customs, traditions and even visit each other.
I think that the Internet makes our world smaller and friendlier. We've got the
chance to learn more about the world's history, our forefathers and gain more
knowledge.

Prospects in education
A. The
popularity of social networking sites such as Vkontakte, Facebook, MySpace, and
Classmates has risen more than four times from 2005 to 2009. Many users say
these sites are good for our society, but others are sure that there are more
dangers in them than benefits. Your attitude to such websites depends on your
age, job, interests and way of life.
B. Social
networks promote communication with friends and family, they give people
necessary and useful computer skills and teach them to express their ideas in a
clear way. Another thing is that the sites let people create new relationships
and reconnect with old friends. In every way, more communication, even online,
makes connections stronger.
C. Social
networking sites make people spend more time online and less time communicating
face-to-face. The sites have many time-wasting activities. You stay online
longer than you planned and do nothing serious or important. Experts say that
teenagers spend about nine hours every week on social networking sites.
D. A
big risk about social networks is that teenagers are careless. They don’t worry
that their personal information and photos could be open to lots of people.
Also the sites don’t guarantee that their registered members are who they say
they are. If a person says he is James Burns, a college student, we have to
believe him. We cannot check his real name or occupation.
E. Psychologists
say that social networking sites can have serious disadvantages. It is hard for
children to have real conversations and make friends. They become selfish
personalities and lose interest in real life. Parents spend less time with
their children and all members of the family spend less time with each other
because they are using the Internet instead of communicating in person.
F. Internet
users spend most of their time on social networks and blogs. Users in the USA
spend about five and a half hours every month on their favourite site. And the
number is growing. Russians spend 6.6 hours monthly on social networking sites.
It is more than people in any other country. For example, in Europe it is 3.7
hours a month.
G. New
research shows that social networking sites can be used in schools. Teachers
should find ways to use them in class. It would help students to learn how to
get information from Internet resources and share it with classmates. Students
would also be able to express themselves creatively and present themselves
better.

We
are always told that we should clean our teeth regularly to keep them healthy
and to have fresh breath. It is believed that people started using a kind of
paste to clean their teeth around 5000 years ago. However, the ingredients of
these tooth powders were very different from ours. For example, the people of
ancient Egypt used salt, mint, dried flowers and pepper to create tooth powder.
Later, in the 18th century, in some countries in Europe, people brushed their
teeth with burnt bread. The first toothpaste appeared in 1890, in Great Britain.
At first it was sold in jars. Then special tubes were designed to make the
toothpaste more comfortable to use.

You
hear a lot about living a healthy lifestyle, but what does that mean? In
general, a healthy person doesn’t smoke, is at a healthy weight, eats healthy
and exercises regularly. Sounds simple, doesn’t it?
The
main way to healthy living is making small changes, taking small steps, like
adding fruit to your cereal, having an extra glass of water. These are just a
few ways you can start living healthy without radical changes. Don’t rush. You
can’t get healthy fast.
One
of the biggest problems in today’s society is that we’re not active enough. We
know it’s good for us but avoid it like the hardest work. Sometimes it happens
because we’re used to being inactive or afraid that exercise will take too much
time and effort. The truth is, movement is movement and the more you do, the
healthier you’ll be. Even sm activities like household chores, gardening and
walking can make difference. Start with small steps.
Once
a week, turn off the TV and do something a little more physical with your
family. Play games, take a walk... almost anything will be more active than
sitting on the couch. Then, you may look for small ways to walk more. When you
get the mail, have a walk to the post office, or take the dog for an extra
outing each day.
Eating
a healthy diet is another part of the healthy lifestyle. A good diet helps to
manage your weight and improves your health and quality of life. It is
recommended to eat a variety of food. Fruits and vegetables are high in
vitamins and minerals. But you still need some other elements like protein,
carbs and fat. The main thing is to balance it all. Too much of any kind of
food or drink can take the body out of balance. You can’t live only on low-fat
food or on coffee, it’s unhealthy and simply dangerous.
At
the same time it takes more than «an apple a day» to live well in today’s
hectic world. A healthy lifestyle requires that the body, the mind and the
spirit work together. So don’t forget about fighting stress. If stress is a
problem in your life you feel angry, nervous or just terribly tired. That’s why
try to learn to relax. Enjoy a good book, take a nap, visit a friend, or go for
a walk. Or why not take a new hobby which will also help you relax mentally.
Finally,
there’s another important step to a healthy lifestyle, which we often miss. And
that is getting enough sleep. It makes us feel fresh, energetic and puts our
brain to a good working condition. It has also been proved that people who
sleep little easily put on weight. Think about the last time when you didn’t
get enough sleep and how you felt the next day? Perhaps your memory wasn’t that
good, or maybe you got irritated easily. And as a result you end up eating
sweets and other high-calorie things.
To
be honest, those are typical reactions that can happen because of not sleeping
properly.
So
a healthy lifestyle should be full of healthy choices and behaviour. It helps
you keep in good physical and mental health and live longer. It’s up to you.

Doing sports is
becoming more and more popular. Some people do it occasionally — swimming in
summer, skiing or skating in winter — but many people go in for sports on a
more regular basis. They try to find time to go to a swimming pool or a gym at
least once a week for aerobics or yoga classes, body building or just work-out
on a treadmill. Some people jog every morning, some play tennis.
For those who can
afford it there are clubs where they give lessons of scuba diving or riding. In
spring and summer young people put on their rollerskates and skate in the
streets and parks.

People
all over the world are very fond of sports and games. That is one of the things
in which people of every nationality and class are united.
The
most popular outdoor winter sports are shooting, hunting, hockey and, in the
countries where the weather is frosty and there is much snow — skating, skiing
and tobogganing. It's so nice to go to the skating-rink on a frosty sunny day.
Some people prefer to be out of town in such weather and to sledge or to ski in
the woods. Many people greatly enjoy figure-skating and ski-jumping.
Summer
affords excellent opportunities for swimming, boating, yachting, cycling,
gliding and many other sports. Among outdoor games football takes the first
place in public interests; this game is played in all the countries of the
world.
The
other games that have firmly established themselves in favour in different
countries are cricket, volley-ball, basketball , and so on. Badminton is also
very popular both with young and old.
All
the year round many people indulge in boxing, wrestling, gymnastics and track
and field events. Scores of young girls and women go in for calisthenics. Over
the last few years aerobics has become popular with young girls and women.
Aerobics helps them to be slim, healthy and strong. The interest for it greatly
increased thanks to Jane Fonda, a prominent American actress, the founder of
this kind of sport. This woman may serve as an impressive example of
inexhaustible health, cheerfulness and beauty. Being a great enthusiast of
aerobics she has been trying to initiate many women all over the world into
this sport.
Among
indoor games which one can go in for all the year round are billiards, table
tennis, draughts, chess, of course. The results of chess tournaments are
studied and discussed by enthusiasts in different countries.
So
we have all grounds to say that sport is one of the things that makes people
kin.
Write true or false:
1. The most
popular outdoor winter sports are shooting, hunting, hockey.
2. Over the last
few years aerobics has become popular with young girls and women.
3. Aerobics
doesn’t help us to be slim, healthy and strong.

А. Between
December 2003 and December 2005, total TV reach declined but the biggest fall
was among young people – it fell by 2.9% for 16 –24 year-olds. During 2005,
reach declined by 2.2% in that age group. Reach is defined as at least 15
minutes of consecutive TV viewing in a week. Industry figures say the decline
could be due to the growth of the internet. DVDs and gaming could also be
factors, they said.
В. Digital Spy is
a showbiz, entertainment and digital media community. It is the UK’s largest
independent entertainment website generating over 90 million monthly page
impressions. Digital Spy is also renowned for its extensive and unique coverage
of Big Brother each year. The discussion forums have more than 290,000
registered users and 28.3 million posts.
С. Young people
(8–18) devote an average of 7 hours and 38 minutes to using entertainment media
across a typical day (more than 53 hours a week), increasing by one hour and
seventeen minutes a day over the past five years, according to a new study, Generation
M2: Media in the Lives of 8- to 18-Year-Olds, designed and analyzed by the
Kaiser Family Foundation and Stanford University researchers.
The increase in media use is driven in
large part by ready access to mobile devices like cell phones and iPods. Young
people now spend more time listening to music, playing games, and watching TV
on their cell phones (a total of 49 min. daily) than they spend talking on them
(33 min.).
D. When I plan my parties, I spend time
thinking about the menu, the music, the table settings, centerpieces and all
the other little details that go into making a wonderful event. But the first
thing I really focus on is my guests. After all, that’s the real reason for all
the rest. They are usually my friends and I try to do my best to adjust my
party to each of our company.
E. He writes a blog, downloads Korean
television shows, manages two Web sites devoted to music and plays an online
game called Rongguang Hospital, at Baidu.com. “I started doing a lot of this
when I was about 11 years old,” says Mr. Li, a freshman at the Shanghai
Maritime University. “Now, I spend most of my leisure time on the Internet,” he
says. “There’s nowhere else to go.”
F. Additionally, anyone under 18 and out
of childhood has severely limited options when it comes to entertainment. Just
about everybody has experienced the frustration of being under 18 and having
nowhere to go apart from the movies or the zoo. Most young people are
interested in popular music, but beyond their TV and radio, there’s very little
offered to them. Essentially, any licensed premises are out of bounds which
creates an enormous void in popular music options.
G. This survey was done in March 2010
(Term 1), and so it is not surprising that summer Hollywood blockbusters
featured in the films listed by students as the most enjoyable film they’d
watched recently. The top 5 films were Alice in Wonderland, Avatar, Shutter
Island, Valentine’s Day and The Hangover. It is interesting to note that 3 of
the top 5 films have unrestricted ratings.

The
last ten years have brought many changes to Russian entertainment. Moscow, the
capital, has seen the opening of many expensive restaurants, designer
boutiques, and large supermarkets. In most Russia’s cities there is a great
number of cafes and bars, where you can eat international dishes as well as all
kinds of traditional national favourites.
Nightlife
is getting more and more lively, especially in the capital and St. Petersburg.
Many new large clubs open. There young people can find all kinds of latest
music. At the same time Russia has a lot for those who want a more classical
form of entertainment. There’s the world famous Bolshoi Theatre and many more
excellent theatres, opera houses and concert halls, which are also popular.
Those
who like travelling will enjoy a trip on the famous Trans Siberian Railway. It
will take you through Russia to China and Mongolia. The journey lasts many
days, becoming the longest train journey in the world. You will see kilometers
of lovely countryside. For example, the road between Irkutsk and Ulan-Ude goes
through fantastic rocks, which form amazing tunnels.
Russia
is rich in natural attractions, with more than 30 national parks. If you love
spending time outdoors you will enjoy visiting some of the country’s most
wonderful places like the national park in Komi, the volcanoes of Kamchatka and
the Golden Mountains of Altai. There are organised tours and hiking trips
through the tundra. Zabaikalsky National Park lies to the east of Lake Baikal.
The park is situated in a huge forest of pines and fur trees. There’s a lot of
wildlife, from brown bears to wolves and deer. Baikal Lake is full of fish and
other species.
There
are numerous traditional festivals and celebrations in Russia, which are worth
experiencing. People love participating in them. Some of the most well-known
are the Tsarskoselskiy Carnival in Pushkin and the Festival of Fountains in
Peterhof. There also many open-air music festivals in Russia. They give a
chance to young musicians and singers to show their talents and skills. Music
lovers can communicate freely with their favourite artists, because in such
festivals they all camp together.
Art
lovers should certainly visit St. Petersburg, the cultural capital of Russia.
There they can see the opera and ballet performances at the Mariinsky Theatre.
You don’t need to know a lot about ballet and opera to visit the theatre. The
building itself is worth seeing because of its beauty. Some Russians believe
that it’s really the world’s greatest theatre. However, others prefer the
Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow.

There
are not many nations that can say that their national dish has become an
international phenomenon. Italy has two such dishes, pasta and of course pizza.
Italians say there are two categories of pizza: Italian pizza and the rest of
the world.
Almost
the whole world believes that pizza is an Italian creation. You may be
surprised but we cannot say for sure who invented the very first pizza pie.
Food historians agree that dishes like pizza were eaten by peoples in the
Mediterranean including the Greeks and Egyptians.
One
theory says that Greeks baked large, round, flat breads which they ate with
simple toppings like oil, garlic, herbs, and spices. The Romans enjoyed
something similar and called it «picea». In the city of Naples the word turned
into «pizza» and that was the beginning of modern pizza history. Naples became
the home town of the pizza we know now.

A. Weight
problems among children in Britain are increasing. More and more children are
over their ideal weight. Obese children are often bullied at school and may have
health problems on too much junk food, computer games and TV. So the first
Britain’s camp for obese children has been opened. Each morning at the camp,
the children do three hours of activities like football, hockey and rugby.
After lunch they have lessons on nutrition and cooking. Most kids leave the
camp feeling healthier and happier than before.
B. Do
you know a person who has never eaten fast food? Many restaurants sell what is
called “fast” or “junk” food - hamburgers, chips and so on. This food is tasty
and cheap. Such food is very popular, especially with children and teenagers.
What is more, fast food saves much time and effort for busy working people.
People don’t have to go to a supermarket, prepare meals and wash the dishes
when they eat out. However, many experts say that fast food is not healthy.
C. In
North America and Europe people think that a slim woman is healthy and careful
about what she eats. But in many parts of Africa a fat woman is considered
beautiful. In central Africa the girls are sent to fattening rooms where these
girls sit, lie and eat. They are given bowels of food that help them get fat.
It is boring to stay in these rooms for so long with nothing to do, but the
girls do not mind. A future husband wants his wife to be fat so other people
will think that the man is rich and he is a responsible man.
D. Experts
say that fast food makes people overweight and even obese and elevates the risk
of diabetes and cancer. If your food includes hamburgers, chips, hot dogs,
pizzas and fizzy drinks like Coke, Pepsi, Sprite and others, you are facing a
serious problem threatening your health. Such food is full of chemical
additives. For example, a can of Coke contains about eight teaspoons of sugar
and artificial sweeteners. More over, there is a risk of food poisoning.
E. Food
poisoning is a common, distressing and sometimes life-threatening problem for
millions of people throughout the world. Food poisoning is when someone gets
sick from eating food or drink that has gone bad or is contaminated by
bacteria. Depending on the type of infection, people can even die as a result
of food poisoning. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
about 16 million people in Britain become ill from the food they eat, and about
1,000 of them die every year.
F. People
today are probably more concerned about food than ever before. We worry about
eating foods that contain too much fat and so we cut down on things like meat,
bread, potatoes and dairy products. The problem is that we may also be cutting
out good sources of iron or other vitamins and minerals. Suddenly we start
feeling tired and irritable. Eating well does not mean that you should cut out
all your favourite foods; it just means eating sensibly and trying to avoid too
much fast food.
G. Genetically
modified crops have been developed by changing the plant’s genetic structure in
order to help the plant resist against different diseases or produce larger
harvest. However, there is no scientific conclusion so far to prove the safety
of GM foods for humans. We don‘t know what unforeseen consequences there might
be. Most people prefer not to risk their health because scientists are not sure
if GM food is absolutely harmless or not.
