MEETING AND PRESENTING PEOPLE
1. Dear David!
I saw your nice advertisement in the newspaper and decided to write
you a letter.
Please, let me introduce myself to you. I am Inga Flemming, 33/169.
I am a non-smoker/drinker, single, kind, cheerful. My interests are travelling, music, movies, nature, sports and family life. I am working at an afterschool center with children aged 5 to 13. My plan is to use the next three
years to become a social worker and then to work with handicapped persons. Danish women mostly work and earn the same as men. I have a secure life but I don’t live in the luxury. What are your dreams for the future?
David, I would become very happy if you send me a letter plus your photo!
Best regards,
Inga
2. Dear Olga,
I saw your ad in a Los Angeles paper and decided to write to you.
May I introduce myself? My name is Bill; I am an engineer, 190 cm tall, 89
kg and 49 yo.
I live in the suburb of Los Angeles called “Tarzana” and I work as a
chief engineer for a Los Angeles company. I am a kind, romantic, well situated man and you and I don’t have to start from “zero”. I have a good
financial situation, a nice house and now I want to find a nice Lady like
you to be my wife I shall respect and love.
My hobbies are arts, sports, travel, home life and much more. I am
an American who has European education (University of Paris). I know
and like European women, especially Slavic, maybe because I have some
Slavic blood too.
Well, if you are interested, tell me more about yourself, send some
photos, and I promise a long letter.
Sincerely, Bill.

UNIT 2
MY WORKING DAY
I am Anton Klimov. I am a doctor. You asked me about my ordinary
working day, didn’t you? All right, let’s speak about it.
On weekdays I get up at seven o’clock. The alarm clock wakes me
up every morning. I cannot say that I like its ringing, since I am definitely
not an early riser. Then, though sleepy, I do my morning exercises and in a
few minutes I feel bright and cheerful.
After that I am ready for other activities: I take a cold shower, I wash
and dress, and prepare my breakfast. I have to do it myself because when I
get up my wife is not in: she has to take our children to the kindergarten. So
I have breakfast alone. My everyday breakfast is the same: some cabbage
salad, two soft-boiled eggs and a cup of strong coffee with cheese sandwiches. I don’t like coffee with milk, so I have it black. It takes me fifteen
minutes to have my breakfast.
At 7.45 I leave my home and go to the hospital. I get to the hospital
by bus, which is always overcrowded. It affects my spirits badly. When I
come to my hospital and see my colleagues, I feel happy.
All my days in the hospital do not vary greatly, so to have an idea of
my business life I’ll tell you about my yesterday’s working day.
As usual, it began at 9.00. o’clock with some formalities. As I am responsible for the routine work of the hospital I prepared and checked up the
papers for it. It took me about an hour. At ten o’clock I began my rounds
about the hospital with the aim to visit all the departments and to learn the
situation at each of them.
At one o’clock I had a break for lunch. It lasted forty-five minutes.
During the break I went downstairs to have lunch in the canteen. Then my
friends and I had a smoke, discussed yesterday’s news and after the break I
went on with my work.
At five o’clock I got in touch with some specialists by telephone and
informed them about our future plans.
At six p.m. my working day was over. On my way home I did shopping. As usual, we exchanged news with my wife and children, and then at
about eight o’clock we had supper together. After supper, though I don’t
like, I washed up. At nine, as always, I watched the TV news programme.
Then a feature film was on and my wife joined me. Besides, I answered
some telephone calls and rang somebody up myself. At half past eleven I
went to bed.
Does Anton like his job? Why do you think so?
Расспросите Антона о его вчерашнем рабочем дне.
Расскажите о вчерашнем рабочем дне Антона.

A BAD DAY
I overslept and missed my train
Slipped on the sidewalk in the pouring rain,
Sprained my ankle and skinned my knees,
Broke my glasses, lost my keys,
Got stuck in the elevator, it didn’t go,
Kicked it twice and stubbed my toe,
Bought a pen that didn’t write,
Took it back and had a fight,
Went home angry, locked the door,
Crawled into bed – couldn’t take any more.

UNIT 3
MY DAY OFF
Most people in our country work five days a week. They have two
days off. They are Saturday and Sunday. I like these days very much. You
needn’t hurry anywhere and you may go wherever you like after your
week’s work. By the way, I did not introduce myself. I am Nikita Gorin, 24
years old. So, on these days I wake up later than usual. But sometimes I
don’t get up till nine or ten o’clock. I read morning newspapers or listen to
music. As soon as I get up I air the room, do my morning exercises. Then I
have breakfast, clear away the dishes and wash up.
Two more hours for getting ready with my housework and I am free.
I meet my friends and we discuss our plans together. We can go to the cinema or theatre, to museum and parks. Last Sunday we went to the Botanical Gardens. It was very pleasant to spend time there.
If next Sunday the weather is fine, we shall be out of town. We shall
find a nice place somewhere in the forest or on the bank of the river. We
shall lie in the sun, play different games and swim.
In winter my friends and I often go to the skating-rink: skating is my
favourite sport, but I like to ski too.
This evening all the members of our family will get together. Some
friends are going to visit us. I shall buy beer; we shall have our supper. We
are going to watch TV or listen to music. I enjoy a friendly chat very much.
Why does Nikita like his days off?
What does Nikita like doing when the weather is fine?
What will Nikita and his friends do tonight?

1. Прочитайте текст.
Don’t worry! Take it easy! Cheer up!
We say all these things to balance our emotions. But it is not so easy
as it seems. So, what’s the answer?
There are lots of things we can do, of course. We can take more exercise. We can eat less, smoke less, we can have a well-organized rest. But
perhaps the most important thing we can do is to learn to relax. Stress
grows slowly. It’s made up of all the little things that make us tense, day
after day, year after year. Every time we relax, every time we have a cup of
tea and a chat with an old friend we take away some of the tension that
causes stress.
Americans worry about relaxing. They take classes to learn how to
relax. They read books that tell them how “to take it easy.” Relaxing is a
multi-dollar industry in the USA. So, why not to master this skill?
What are the ways to prevent tiredness? Give some friendly advice
(Avoid…; Forget…; Learn…; Try… ).

II. Прочитайте и расскажите о том, как отдыхают англичане.
WHAT PEOPLE DO IN THEIR SPARE TIME
In the United Kingdom people like to relax at weekends. You can relax in different ways. Some people like to stay at home with their families,
and others like to go out and enjoy themselves. Young people enjoy going
to the pubs, to the cinema or to nightclubs. Many young people also like to
play different kinds of sport. Tennis is very popular in Britain in summer
when you can play outdoors. Other popular sports are badminton, football,
basketball and cricket. Cricket is a very traditional British game. It is
played a lot at schools and in villages in summer.
If you have children, you can go to the seaside on day-trips or take
your children to parks or perhaps to the zoo. In summer many parents like
to take their children on picnics in the country, especially if they live in a
big city. It is nice to get away from the noise and the traffic at weekends
and relax in the country.
If you have a house in the country, you can probably spend a lot of
time in the garden. Gardening is another very traditional British way of
spending free time. People are very proud of their gardens and spend much
time trying to grow beautiful flowers and rare bushes.
How do people relax at weekends in Britain? What sports are popular
in Britain? What is another traditional way of spending free time in
Britain?

UNIT 4
FAMILY
Marriage is a thing, which only a rare person in his or her life avoids.
Millions of others get married because of the fun of family life. And it is
fun, if one takes it with a sense of humour.
There’s a lot of fun in falling in love with someone. All the relatives
(parents, grandparents and great-grandparents, brothers and sisters, cousins,
aunts and uncles, nieces and nephews, stepmothers and stepfathers and all
in-laws) have the fun of criticizing your choice and giving advice.
What fun is to get all those things named with the word “wedding” –
dress, rings, cars, flowers, cakes, etc.! It’s great fun to pay for them.
It’s fun for a bride and a groom to escape from guests and to go on a
honeymoon trip. It’s fun to return back home with an idea that the person
you are married to is different from the one you knew.
There is no better fun for a husband than taking his wife to a maternity home alone and bringing her back with the twins or triplets. And this is
where the greatest fun starts: washing the newborn’s nappies and passing
away sleepless nights, earning money to keep the family, taking children to
kindergarten and later to school.
What fun is to discuss with your old friends the problem of the “generation gap”! And when at last you and your grey-haired spouse feel absolutely happy in the family life, the climax of your fun comes! One of your
dearest offsprings brings a long-legged blonde to your house and says that
he wants to marry. And you think: “Why do people ever get married?”
Why do people get married from your point of view?
What relatives do the people get by birth and by marriage?

1. Прочитайте рассказ о семье Ивана. Что Вы узнали о его отце и
матери? Можно ли считать эту семью идеальной? Почему?
In a friendly family people are gentle, respectful and loving. They
always share joys and sorrows as well as household duties.
My family consists of my father, my mother and me, Ivan, their son.
So I am the only child in the family and I don’t very much mind it.
I think I’d better start with my dad. His name is Ivan Petrovich. He is
tall with dark hair and brown eyes and is of a strong built. When he was
young he was enrolled as a member of the all-Belarusian basketball team.
But at that time he wanted to make a good career so he gave up sports. At
present he is a director of a large plant.
My mother’s name is Larisa Ivanovna. She is an economist by education. She is very interested in her work. Mum’s life is not easy, of course,
because she has to keep the house in addition to her work. My mother is a
quiet and charming person.
I have many remote relations: two grandmothers, aunts, uncles and
cousins. All of them live in Belarus and we get together from time to time,
mainly on our birthdays or other holidays.
I enjoy the honest and open relationship in my family. There is no
“fathers-and-sons” problem in our family, though we often argue and disagree on certain problems.

groom are both smiling because they’re very happy.
In a few minutes they’re going to drive to a hotel for the reception.
They’re going to have cocktails and dinner. Then they’re going to drink
champagne, and the bride and the groom are going to cut the cake. Some

UNIT 6
TRAVELLING
It’s difficult to imagine modern life without travelling as the technological progress of the previous century has allowed people to cover long
distances in no time.
People travel to see other countries and continents, modern cities and
the ruins of ancient towns, to enjoy picturesque places or just for a change
of scene. It is always interesting to discover new things and other ways of
life, to meet different people, to taste different food, to examine various architectural styles, to visit museums and picture galleries. Travelling is a key
to understanding other cultures, a wonderful opportunity to learn more
about the world we live in.
Nowadays people can travel in different ways. They can enjoy the
comfort and speed of superb airliners as well as the conveniences of modern comfortable trains and coaches or the luxury of a sea voyage. People
choose this or that way of travelling according to their likes and financial
possibilities.
Of course, travelling by air is most convenient as in a short time you
reach the place of your destination well rested and well fed. Naturally it is
the most expensive method of travelling too. Travelling by train is slower
than by plane, but it has its advantages as well. Many people are sure that
with a train you have speed, comfort and pleasure combined. Most trains
have very comfortable seats as well as sleeping carriages and dining cars,
which make even the longest journey enjoyable. Sea voyages these days
have become popular again mainly as pleasure trips.
Many people prefer travelling by car. There are several reasons for it.
First of all you don’t need to reserve your tickets. Then you can go as fast
as you wish, stop whenever you choose and stay at any place you choose as
long as you like. And, of course, you see much more of the countryside
than you do travelling by plane or even by train.

VACATIONS
THE LETTERBOX KEY
The summer was very hot. It was very stuffy in town and Stephan
Blake decided to go to the seashore for his summer holidays. He booked a
railway ticket, packed his things and was about to start for the station when
he remembered that he had to ask the housekeeper to post him letters he
would receive. She promised to do that.
Stephan Blake rested very well. The weather was fine. The sea was
calm. He spent much time on the seashore, got sunburnt and felt fine. The
only thing that worried him was the fact that he had not received any letters. He thought it strange and phoned his housekeeper to find out why she
hadn’t posted him his letters. The housekeeper answered that she had no
key to his letterbox.
Stephan Blake apologized and promised to send her the key. On the
same day he put the key into an envelope, wrote down his address on it and
posted the letter.
Another month was passing. Stephan Blake had a nice time on the
seashore. He swam in the sea, went boating and fishing, but didn’t receive
any letters.
When his summer holidays were over he returned home. The housekeeper met him warmly, but Stephan was very angry with her. She could
not understand why he was so angry. Stephan Blake asked why she had not
sent him his letters.
The poor woman explained to him that she could not get the key as it
was in the locked letterbox together with the letters.
How did Stephan spend his holidays? What worried him at rest? Why
was Stephan angry with his housekeeper?
Расскажите, как отдыхал Стефан, и что его тревожило.

Seeing Off
One evening three men arrived to the station and asked the porter:
“What time is the next train to Liverpool?” The porter said: “You have just
missed one. But they go every hour. The next one is at 10 o’clock.” “That’s
all right,” they said, “we’ll go and have a drink.”
They went to the refreshment room. A minute or two after 10
o’clock they came running and said to the porter: “Has the train gone?”
“Yes,” he said, “it went at 10 o’clock as I told you. The next is at eleven
o’clock.” “That’s all right,” they said, “we’ll go and have another drink.”
So they went to the refreshment room.
They missed the eleven o’clock train too, and the porter said: ”Now
the next train is the last one; if you miss that, you won’t get to Liverpool
tonight.”
Twelve o’clock came, and the last train was just starting out when
the three men came out of the refreshment room running as fast as they
could. Two of them got into a carriage just as the train was leaving. But
the third man did not run fast enough and was left on the platform. He
stood there looking at the train and laughing. The porter went up to him
and said: “I told you that this was the last train. Why didn’t you come earlier?”
The man couldn’t answer because he was laughing. Then he said to
the porter: “Did you see those two men who had got into the train and had
left me here?” “Yes, I saw them.” “Well, I was the one who was going to
Liverpool. They only were here to see me off.”
