Healthy
Food
1. Eating is fun, especially when you are
hungry. Most people have a favourite food. Some people enjoy eating sweet
things like cakes, chocolates and ice cream. Other people enjoy savoury foods
like cheese and meet. Enjoying eating is our body’s way of making sure that is
gets the things it needs to work properly.
2. Food helps us to keep warm, talk, run
and do all the other things we do. It helps us to grow and stay healthy.
3. Vitamins also help us to be healthy.
Scientists name vitamins after the alphabet. All of them are very important,
for example: vitamin C keeps our skin and gums healthy. It is found in fresh
fruit and green vegetables, such as oranges, blackcurrants, lettuce. Brussels
sprouts and spinach also contain a lot of vitamin C.
4. Vitamin D helps our bones to grow
strong and hard, and we are able to make it for ourselves if our skin gets
enough sunlight. But we can also get vitamin D if we eat fish, milk, butter,
cheese and margarine. Some people buy pills and tablets containing vitamins.
But most of us get more than enough of them from our food.

With the words” Elementary, my dear
Watson…”, the most famous detective of all times, Sherlock Holmes, starts to
explain something to his friend., Dr.Watson. That phrase has now entered the
English language.
Sherlock Holmes first appeared in 1882. He
became famous in “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes”. After that came the whole
series of books about him.Many thousands of books about Sherlock Holmes are
still sold every year.
Who invented Sherlock Holmes? Arthur Conan
Doyle was his inventor. He was a doctor. In 1882 he moved from Scotland to
England to set up a practice. One of the doctors he worked with, Dr. Joseph
Bell, was the model for Sherlock Holmes’s friend, Dr.Watson. Conan Doyle’s
medical knowledge was a great help to him in his detective stories.
Conan Doyle started the fashion of the
detective story, which goes on.
And what sort of man is Sherlock Holmes?
We learn a lot about him from the stories in which he appears. He is a quiet
man, who only speaks when he has something to say. He smokes a pipe (he has a
collection of them). He plays the violin. He carries a large magnifying glass.
He lives at 221B Baker Street in London.
If you go to London, you will not be able
to find 221B Baker Street. But instead, you can go to a pub called the
“Sherlock Holmes”. In that pub there is a room exactly like Sherlock Holmes’s
room at 221B Baker Street as described in Conan Doyle’s stories.

1.The Earl of Sandwich lived long ago in
England. He was a fanatic about playing cards. He didn’t even want
to stop playing to eat a meal and refused to put
his cards away. So his servant invented a quick meal for him. He put
some meat between two slices of bread, so that the Earl could hold his
meal in one hand and play cards with the other.
2.Sandwiches were great favourites in
Victorian England. It was a tradition to take an afternoon tea at
about 5 o’clock, and many rich families ate sandwiches at that time.
Cucumber sandwiches were very popular. The sandwiches were
very small and delicate. Sandwiches are less elegant now and often
much bigger.
3.The English eat millions of sandwiches
every day.They are a typical “snack” meal because they are easy and
quick to prepare. You can buy sandwiches if you don’t want to make
them yourself. There are thousands of sandwich bars and cafes and
even some restaurants that sell them.

1.William Shakespeare, the greatest
English writer of drama, was born in 1564 in Stratford-on-Avon. We don’t
know everything about Shakespeare’s early life. But we know that he
studied at the Grammar School in Stratford, and that he became interested in
the theatre when he was still a boy.
In 1586 Shakespeare went to London, where
he worked in the theatre for some years before he began to write his
own plays.
2.Shakespeare soon became well-known in
London literary circles. Every play that he wrote was good news to
the people of the capital. Queen Elizabeth I liked Shakespeare’s plays, and the
actors were often invited to play before the Queen and later before the King
James- a great honor in those days. By the end of the 16th century
Shakespeare and his friends built their own theatre –the famous
Globe Theatre.
3.But Shakespeare had many difficulties in
his life. Less talented writers, whose plays were worse than his,
often quarreled with Shakespeare and attacked him, the actors in his
own theatre sometimes turned against him.
4.Now people in many countries love
and honor Shakespeare for his plays, comedies
and tragedies that are still modern and well-known all over the
world.

First of all, I must tell you about
myself. I am thirteen and I am in the third class at a Grammar school in
Manchester
What a terrible day! I woke up late and

cap. At last I found my books in the bathroom; and at last, I found my cap — my
dog was playing with it! I was nearly late for school.
The first lesson on Monday morning is
maths. What a terrible way to start the week! Mr Green, the maths teacher,
took our homework. He saw that my exercise - book was dirty. He was very angry
and gave me a bad mark for it.
Then he gave us some tasks to do. I sat
next to Jane, who was fat and not very pleasant — but very good at maths. I
asked her to tell me the answers, but she didn`t want.
The next lesson was French. I like French.
It’s nice to be able to talk to somebody in another language.
At last, it was eleven o’clock: time for
break. Nell gave me a piece of cake to eat with my milk. She also gave me her
Latin homework to copy. I think she likes me and she’s a nice girl.
