Task 1
Match the headings to the texts. Fulfill the results into the table.
There is only one heading extra.
A. Sports and money.
B. The riskiest sports.
C. Sports at school
D. Young, sporting and rich.
E. The fastest-growing sports.
F. Sports to stay healthy.
1. According to recent statistics, the sport that causes most injuries is rugby, and football is a close second. Despite the popularity of these games, and although we teach school children to play them, they injure more people per 1,000 than motor-racing, skiing, or scuba-diving. Of course, people do get hurt in 'adventure sports' and the most dangerous is climbing, which kills eight people a year.
2. Britain does not often produce sportsmen or sportswomen who are successful in world sporting championships, but it has been good at inventing sports and writing the rules of games. Golf was first played in Scotland in the fifteenth century. Cricket was first played in England in the sixteenth century. Nineteenth-century team sports, such as football, rugby and hockey, were first played in British public schools.
3. Sport today means big business for both players and sponsors. Sporting events like the World Cup, which has a TV audience of 35 billion people, make huge amounts of money. Companies like Coca Cola and Adidas have paid more than $20 million to sponsor a sports event. They know that people all over the world will see their names and logos at the sports stadiums and on participants' clothes.
4. Children are encouraged to participate in sports at an early age. There are children's baseball, football, and basketball teams in almost every community. The rivalry between high schools and colleges in sporting events goes right through the school year from football in September to track and field in June. Cheerleaders and bands lead the supporters in rooting for their home team.
5. Many top stars make a fortune during their sporting careers. Tiger Woods, the professional golfer, is only 23 years old. He has already earned more than $5 million. He has won eight tournaments in his career so far, including the US Masters which he won in 1997. He reached the position of the world's top player in the shortest time ever - just 42 weeks. He is sponsored by Nike, the sportswear company.
6. The majority of people live in towns and cities, where space for team sports is limited. Most people take part in individual sports. They usually go walking, swimming, cycling, or do aerobics. Taking part in all these sports is informal and casual. Most people just want to relax. If they do aerobics or go swimming, they usually go to the sports centre, but not many people join a sports club.
7. Britain's national sport is football. During the football season most professional footballers play two matches every week. Many people say this is too many because the players cannot devote enough time and energy to international games. The 22 best English teams play in the Premier League, run by the Football Association. Liverpool is the most successful team and have won the most games in tournaments.

В2
A. Safe solutions are still needed
B. International efforts to stop pollution
C. Science for nature protection
D. Set to protect nature.
E. Air pollution in the chain of global destruction.
F. We are all elements of global ecosystem.
1. People have lived on our planet for many years. We may live on different continents and in different countries, but we all depend on our planet, on the sun, on animals and plants around us. We must take care of Earth but not destruct wildlife. Many species of animals and birds are disappearing nowadays. We cut down trees to make furniture, but we forget that people can’t live without trees and plants. Every little creature or thing oh Earth plays its own part and makes our home unique.
2. One of the biggest eco problems is pollution. The main reason of pollution is rubbish Most of our rubbish goes to big holes in the ground, called ’dumps’. But dumps are very dangerous for our life, because they are full of rats, which can carry infections away from dumps. Another way to get rid of rubbish is to burn it. But the fires make poisons, which go into the air and pollute it. This is the propel scientists should get interested in. Such researchers are worth spending money on.
3. The Royal Society for the prevention of cruelty to animals (the RSPCA) tries to protect animals from bad use. It operates big nation campaigns aimed at lost pets and circus animals. The World Wildlife Fund (The WWF) rescued several species of animals mammals as well as birds. These organizations also helped to create more than 25C National parks. Greenpeace began its work 20 years ago from saving whales. And now Greenpeace is a world-famous organization, which saves plants, animals and people.
4. Every year world industry pollutes the atmosphere with about 1000 million tons ol dust and harmful substances. Many cities suffer from smog. Vast forests are cut down and burn in fire. Their disappearance upsets the oxygen balance. As a result some rare species of animals, birds, fish and plants disappear forever, a number of lakes and rivers dry up. The pollution of air and the world destruction of the ozone layer is the result of man’s careless interaction with nature, a sign of ecological crises.
5. Numerous conferences have been held to discuss questions of ecologically pool regions including the Aral Sea, the South Urals, Kuzbass, Donbass, Seiriipalatsinsfc and Chernobyl. An international environmental research center has been set up on Lake Baikal. Scientists are also doing much to preserve the environment. But these are only the initial steps that must be carried forward to protect not only for the sake of the present but for the future generations.

A. Special family days
B. The right to choose
C. National spirit traced in different celebrations
D. They invent local holidays
E. Love for celebrations
F. One common event for a national holiday
1. People in every culture celebrate holidays. Although the word «holiday» literally means «holy day,» most American holidays are not religious, but commemorative in nature and origin. As. the nation is blessed with rich ethnic heritage, it is possible to trace some of the American holidays to diverse cultural sources and traditions, but all holidays have taken on a distinctively American flavor.
2. Each of the 50 states has the right to observe Federal holidays according to their legislation. However, the majority of the states usually choose the date or day celebrated by the rest of the nation. Still the closing of local government offices and businesses on these holidays vary. For instance, in Washington State there are five official holidays when people have five days off; however, a company may give their employees three extra days per year to enhance their holiday term.
3. One of the most widely celebrated and popular holidays in the USA is Independence Day. What is rather remarkable about it is the splendid colorful parade. Take, for instance, a parade in Seattle, Washington. Different organizations take part in it. First, usually comes the fire brigades in full dress, with polished fire-engines. Girls throw flowers to them. The firemen and women are regarded as heroes, especially in small towns. Then come the police and other state organizations, fund raisers, voluntary bodies, factories, and small businesses proudly showing off their produce.
4. It is worth mentioning that in the United States, Americans like holidays very much. The word «holiday» for them is synonymous with «celebration». They tend to make some Sundays unique by organizing various festivals and carnivals. On these Sundays you can go to different towns and take part in entertaining events. The main attractions are festivals that welcome in the autumn as the leaves on the trees begin to turn red, orange, and yellow. For example, a festival of wooden boats or classical automobiles, or a wood-chopping contest and an auction are popular activities.
5. As for family celebrations in the USA, it is worth saying that these holidays are mostly calm and quiet. The most popular family holidays are Thanksgiving Day and Christmas. The extended families gather for these two events. Americans prepare only traditional meals for these holidays. For instance, for Thanksgiving Day there will be a roast turkey with cranberry sauce, white mashed potatoes (which ARE indispensable with turkey). Other sweet potatoes or yams, vegetables and a pumpkin pie.

1. More than 80 percent of New Zealand’s population are Britons or Europeans. That's why the New Zealand school system is similar to the British one. Education is free and compulsory for children between the ages of 6 and 16.The school year starts in January (after the summer holidays) and ends in December. In most schools wearing a school uniform is obligatory. For New Zealand teenagers daily life takes place in school where they stay up to the late afternoon.
2. Canada occupies most of the northern North America continent as well as some islands. It stretches from the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west. It's also washed by the Arctic Ocean in the north. The country was discovered in 1497 by John Cabot, an Italian sea captain. About 2% of the Canadian territory is covered with ice. The eastern part of the country is mainly valleys and plains. The western territories are made up of the Cordilleras.
3. Most Americans simply call the Independence Day the “Fourth of July”. It always falls on this day, and it celebrates the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. At that time, the people of the 13 British colonies were involved in a war which had begun in 1775. The colonists were fighting for freedom from the English. The Declaration of Independence stated it clearly. For the first time in history the colonies were defined as the United States of America.
4. With great weather, great events and terrific crowds Australia Day in Melbournein 2010 was one of the best ever! It is a day for all Australians to get together and, in whatever way they choose, celebrate being Australian. 1788 is when the British Fleet first arrived at Sydney Cove and lifted the British flag. Now, major cities throughout the country celebrate the national day with parades, free food, and different events.
5. Cambridge lies in East Anglia, about 50 miles north of London. The river Cam flows through it. It gets the name Cambridge from the river. It's a compact green city. There is always something to do and to see in the city: walk in the parks and gardens, visit museums and galleries, enjoy the festivals or relax in small cafés. The city is best known as the home of Cambridge University, one of the world's best universities. It was founded in 1209 and it consists of 30 colleges.

Everybody can fall ill with any disease. Fortunately, only cold and flu are quite frequent in our city among infectious illnesses. They are rather easy for the modern medicine and various pills can help you a lot in overcoming this trouble.

Fortunately, my friends don’t fall ill frequently. But I remember such case that happened about 12 months ago. One of my best school friends had fallen ill with hard form of flu. Soon I went to his place to see him. I took some things that, as I was expecting, were interesting for him. Among them I brought a DVD with best game moments of National Basketball Association. He was very glad for this present and soon we both were enjoying the outstanding games of the strongest basketball league in the world. Then I told him all last school news and everything about the material we had passed when he was absent.
Then we tried to entertain ourselves and started to solve crosswords in the newspapers, to watch TV set, so we began to do all that everybody makes when he doesn’t know what to do. To my surprise, I lost the feeling of time and there was deep evening, when I understood, that it was a time to go home. When I was leaving for home, my friend promised that he would be all fight soon and he kept his word.

Every nation and country has a reputation of some kind. The Englishmen are believed to be cold, reserved, rather naughty, easy-going and fond of sport. They are the nation of stay-at- homes. «There is no place like home», they say. The English man’s home is his castle is a saying known all over the world.
They prefer a small house built for one family, with a small garden and a fire in the centre of the house. They like animals very much and follow many traditions especially concerning food and manners. We know much about English traditions and Customs but now I’d like to say a few words about the traditions of my native land-Russia.
First, some words about Russian people. To my mind, the main traits of their characters are their hospitality, their «open heartedness» and inventiveness. Russian fairytales reflect this. Our people are hardworking, patient, never loosing hope for better life. The Russians are the talented nation. Russia gave the world thousands of the world famous writers, composers, scientists, inventors and explorers. All of them are the pride of the nation.
Such names of Gzhel and Khokhloma are considered to be the symbols of Russia as well as matryoshkas and samovars. The history of Khokhloma goes back to the 17th century. The production of tableware-dishes, spoons, mugs was begun at that time in the villages of Suomino and Khokhloma in the Nizhniy Novgorod Province. Many carpenters, painters have been working since then reviving traditions of old masters.
The Khokhloma style is characterized by using plant elements in painting the tableware. The prevailing colors are black, yellow, golden, green and red.
Nowadays this craft is sure to be saved; it will be developed and brought into the future by the new generation of painters.
A5 The Englishmen have bad reputation among different nations in the world.

Adam: Gosh!
Sally: Yes, a lorry and two small cars.
Adam: Oh!
Sally: The lorry started to slow down before the crossroads, but the driver of the Peugeot 307 didn’t notice and crashed into it. And a second later, a Mini Cooper smashed into the back of it.
Adam: Awful! And you saw it all, did you?
Sally: Yes, I did. I saw it from the bus window. I was just on my way to school when it happened. The road was completely blocked because of the accident. I had to get off the city bus and run to school so as not to be late for my first class.
Adam: You must have been very scared by the accident, mustn't you?
Sally: No, not really. It's funny, but I became more popular with my schoolmates. Everyone wanted to talk to me to find out more details.
Adam: Hm. And why did it all happen? Slippery road, fog or rain?
Sally: No. It was nice and clear. There wasn’t much traffic on the roads. And nobody exceeded the speed limit.
Adam: What was it then?
Sally: I think it was totally the Peugeot driver’s fault. He was talking on his mobile phone at the time. He definitely couldn’t concentrate on driving.
Adam: Using a phone is very risky while driving. Everyone knows that.
Sally: Yeah. There are lots of things that may distract a driver. Smoking, for example, or talking with the passengers. Even the stereo system may do harm. When you listen to loud music, it affects how you drive. But I believe smoking while driving is the worst. The police should stop smoking drivers and fine them.
Adam: Yeah, I agree with that. But smokers will object to your idea, I’m afraid.
Sally: Never mind. All sensible people will support it. It would reduce the number of accidents I’m sure.

Speaker A
I’ve always been very good at languages. I can speak two foreign languages – English and French, and it helps a lot as I’m in the export business. When we worked on some contracts with Russian companies, I decided to learn Russian for business purposes. I bought lots of textbooks and spent weeks looking over them before I understood that I needed a teacher. Now I take lessons regularly and I’ve learned a lot of words, but there are so many grammar rules in Russian, and there are so many exceptions! I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to speak it.
Speaker B
I learnt German at school and I can understand French a little. My native language is English and my friends don’t think that learning foreign languages is important – English is understood everywhere. I don’t agree with them. Now I want to start learning Italian. It’s a lovely language and it sounds beautiful. I’ve got a pen-pal Alessandro, who lives in Italy, and I want to go there next year to see Rome and Milan and Venice. I think Alessandro will appreciate my speaking Italian. And
travelling is more enjoyable when you can communicate with the locals in their language.
Speaker C
English is my native language and I’m quite happy about that. I don’t have any problems when I travel – people can speak English everywhere. That’s why I don’t feel motivated to learn foreign languages at school, but I have to do it anyway.
According to the curriculum, I must learn two foreign languages. We start learning a foreign language at the age of seven. Usually it’s French or German. The second foreign language is a matter of personal choice – we can choose it from the list of available languages, which includes Italian, Spanish, Chinese and others. This normally happens at the age of 13 or 14.
Speaker D
Languages are very important in modern life. People travel a lot, they do business across international borders, and due to that, they wish to know as many languages as possible. However, learning languages isn’t very easy and it’s very time
consuming. The quickest way to learn a language is to go the country where it’s spoken. It works, however, only if you learn it with a teacher and communicate outside the classroom a lot. Watching the news, reading newspapers and writing
notes and e-mails helps a lot too. But the most important thing is not to speak your native language to anyone.
Speaker E
Lots of adults want to learn foreign languages but don’t have time for it because of job and family commitments. Children, on the other hand, have got enough time but they lack motivation. The easiest way to get children to speak a foreign
language is to use it in a game. Young children are not able to understand language rules, but they can easily imitate their teacher and don’t mind repeating the same sentence many times if it’s a game. Pictures and toys work very well too – children pick up new words for toys very quickly.

William Shakespeare was the greatest writer in the English language. He was born in 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon. At the age of 18 he married Anne Hathaway, who was eight years older than himself. A few years later he moved to London, where he worked as an actor and a playwright.
Shakespeare wrote 37 plays and 154 sonnets. His most famous plays are the four great tragedies — ‘Othello’, ‘Macbeth’, ‘Hamlet’, and ‘King Lear’. He also wrote several historical plays. Eight of these plays were about English kings, including ‘Richard II’, ‘Henry V’ and ‘Richard III’. Others dealt with Roman history and included ‘Julius Caesar’ and ‘Antony and Cleopatra’. But not all of Shakespeare’s plays were serious. He also wrote comedies, such as ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ and ‘Twelfth Night’.
Shakespeare died in Strafford on 23 April 1616, but his plays arc still very popular today. They have been translated into several different languages, and many of them have been made into films. Shakespeare’s plays are about the great issues of life — love, hate, jealousy, power, ambition, death and so on. So, his plays are just important today as they were in the sixteenth century. To show this, modern directors sometimes do the plays in modern dress, and one of Shakespeare’s plays has even been turned into a modern musical. His romantic tragedy, ‘Romeo and Juliet’, was the basis for the musical ‘West Side Story’.
