The name of Balzac, the famous French writer, is well-known all over the world. He is the author of many novels
that are translated into almost all European languages. His novels are translated into Russian, too. They enjoy great
popularity. There are many stories about Balzac, his life and his adventures. But very few people know that Balzac
was fond of telling a person’s character by his or her handwriting. He was very fond of this ability and often
boasted of it among his friends.
Among his friends there was a lady who wanted to play a joke on the famous writer. One day she brought him an
exercise book of a boy. She asked him to tell her what he thought of the boy’s character. She also added that the
boy was not her son so Balzac should not be afraid to tell the truth.
Balzac was glad to show his ability again and began to study the handwriting. He worked very hard and at last he
came to the conclusion that the boy was bad and lazy. He told it to the lady. The lady smiled and said: “My dear
friend, this is a page from your own exercise book which you used when you were a boy”.

Variant 2.
Read the text and do the tasks.
The author of the famous book “The Lord of the Rings” John Ronald Tolkien loved ancient myths and for his
books he borrowed characters from Anglo-Saxon, Scandinavian and other European mythology. He created his
own world inhabited by wizards, elves, dwarves, goblins and certainly hobbits.
Hobbits are Tolkien’s own invention. They are rather short (about 1metre) creatures, they are peaceful, homeloving race, fond of their gardens and their cosy underground homes. They don’t like adventures, but the main
character of “The Hobbit”, Bilbo Baggins, is forced to take part in a long and dangerous journey full of risk and
extraordinary adventures.
In “The Lord of the Rings” Bilbo’s nephew, Frodo Baggins, is given a dangerous task. He must destroy the
magic ring which gives its owner great power. The ring was made by Sauron the Dark Lord, but then it was lost
and found by Bilbo, who didn’t know about its magic power. If the Ring falls into the hands of Sauron, he and his
dark forces will rule the world. So Frodo has to take the Ring to Mordor, the Dark Lord’s own territory and throw it
into the fires of Mount Doom.
“The Lord of the Rings” was published in 1954. 100 million copies have been sold. It has been translated into 25
languages. In 1970 the word hobbit was included in the Oxford Dictionary. The book is considered to be the
champion of fantasy novels. Sometimes it is called the greatest book of the twentieth century and Tolkien is called
one of the greatest writers of the twenties century.

Once a middle-aged woman felt that she was seriously ill. She decided to consult a physician. The sick woman
managed to make an appointment with Dr.Prime and soon he consulted her. He listened to all her complaints very
attentively, examined her very carefully, made the customary tests but failed to make any diagnosis. He could not
say what the matter was.
The sick woman continued to describe her aches and pains, she spoke very loudly and quickly for an hour or so.
The doctor thought: “If she were really ill, she wouldn’t be able to speak so energetically.” An idea came to his
mind and he asked the sick woman to show him her tongue. Dr.Prime examined it carefully and thought: “How
nice it is, when she doesn’t talk.”
After the physician had finished examining her tongue, the woman looked at him with hope and fear. She was
afraid that her disease was incurable. At last she said: “I hope my disease is curable, doctor.” The physician smiled
and said: “Quite. Just your tongue needs a long rest.”

Read the text and do the task.
A vegetarian is someone who avoids eating the flesh of animals (meat, poultry, or fish). Most vegetarians will
also not eat eggs or cheese, will not use cosmetics which contain animal ingredients or are tested on animals. The
word “vegetarian” comes not from “vegetable” but from the Latin word vegetus meaning “whole, fresh, full of
life”.
People become vegetarians for a number of reasons. Some think that it is wrong to keep and kill animals for use
as food and in other products. Others choose to be vegetarians because they believe that a vegetarian diet is
healthier than a diet that includes meat. They refuse to eat meat as they consider it harmful. Such people believe
that a vegetarian diet reduces the risk of cancer and vegetarians live longer than others. Indeed, a vegetarian diet
fits in very well with modern medical advice to cut down on fat, salt, sugar, and to eat more fibre and fresh
vegetables. Fat is believed to be one of the major causes of obesity and heart disease. Salads, beans and fruit are
much better than steak and ice-cream. Besides, this sort of food is cheaper than meat.
Some people are vegetarians because of their religious beliefs. Some people have chosen to be vegetarians for
ecological reasons. They argue that the growing of vegetables takes up much less valuable space than the raising of
livestock. Moreover, it is easier to provide food for all the people on Earth by growing vegetables for food rather
than raising vegetable-eating animals.

Variant 1.
Read the text and do the task.
A vegetarian is someone who avoids eating the flesh of animals (meat, poultry, or fish). Most vegetarians will
also not eat eggs or cheese, will not use cosmetics which contain animal ingredients or are tested on animals. The
word “vegetarian” comes not from “vegetable” but from the Latin word vegetus meaning “whole, fresh, full of
life”.
People become vegetarians for a number of reasons. Some think that it is wrong to keep and kill animals for use
as food and in other products. Others choose to be vegetarians because they believe that a vegetarian diet is
healthier than a diet that includes meat. They refuse to eat meat as they consider it harmful. Such people believe
that a vegetarian diet reduces the risk of cancer and vegetarians live longer than others. Indeed, a vegetarian diet
fits in very well with modern medical advice to cut down on fat, salt, sugar, and to eat more fibre and fresh
vegetables. Fat is believed to be one of the major causes of obesity and heart disease. Salads, beans and fruit are
much better than steak and ice-cream. Besides, this sort of food is cheaper than meat.
Some people are vegetarians because of their religious beliefs. Some people have chosen to be vegetarians for
ecological reasons. They argue that the growing of vegetables takes up much less valuable space than the raising of
livestock. Moreover, it is easier to provide food for all the people on Earth by growing vegetables for food rather
than raising vegetable-eating animals.
