It was late at
night, two days before Christmas, when this happened. I had trouble sleeping
then and was entertaining myself watching TV in my room upstairs. Suddenly, I
heard some eerie sound from below. At first, I thought it was my imagination.
It was past midnight, and I'd been watching horror movies, I thought. But the
sound didn't stop. So, I pulled myself together and tiptoed downstairs to the
living room. The sound grew louder. I didn't realise it was coming from the
front door until it was too late. Two spooky figures suddenly blew the door
open and rushed into the house. In the dim light of the Christmas tree and
light strings, I saw they were wearing dark hoodies and black facemasks. I was
immobilised with fear. They didn't notice me, as I was standing in the shadow.
One of them started ransacking the room for anything worthy while the other one
was the lookout guy. When one of them was turning upside down the stuff on the
mantelpiece, they accidentally tore off one of the light strings which immediately
made a harsh electric sound and exploded. The light in all of the house went
off. But then it got even worse. Something suddenly flashed in the darkness and
just in no time the fire broke out. I screamed and the strangers, startled,
dashed out of the house.

Nowadays our society is
deeply worried about the violation of human rights in many spheres of
life. Teenage rights are not the exception. At school, boys and girls discuss political and social issues which can influence their
lives. But do they really know what their rights are?
Let's start with basic human rights, which are morally and legally entitled to exist. These
rights are taken for granted. So, you have the
right to go to school, to express your opinion, to belong to some country or
just to eat, drink and breathe fresh air. As the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights says, everybody is free from birth. You have the right to be equal by law.
But there is another side
of the coin when the rights can be violated. Some basic principles don't
imply the right to be treated as a slave, be
punished or be laughed at. Nobody has the right to take your things without
asking or torture you. The police or anybody
else doesn't have the right to put you into prison or persecute without a
serious reason.
Mark the sentences as
true or false.
1. Human rights are
violated today.
2. It doesn't go without saying
that we have the right to speak freely.
3 Basic human rights are recorded
in the Declaration of Human Rights.
4. Everyone was born free.
5. Every man isn't a slave.
6. If anybody follows you without
a reason, you can ask for protection of your rights.

скобках в правильную форму (-ing форма (герундий)) или инфинитив (с или без
