My Friend Sandra
I think the first thing that people notice about my friend Sandra is her bright appearance. She has marvelous dark hair and pale skin. This combination makes her very attractive. She has very beautiful features such as a straight nose, a determined chin and rosy checks. Sandra really enjoys taking care of her appearance, that's why she always looks her best! She's not very tall, but has got a slender figure, and a very narrow waist. As she goes in for sports, she is always in a perfect physical state.
What I appreciate most in her is the ability to communicate with other people. She's very friendly and cheerful. You will hardly ever be bored with her, as she is a very broad-minded and sophisticated person. She is almost never afraid to say something wrong, to make a mistake. It's always very interesting to listen to her, because she gives witty comments. She's one of those people who stand their ground. Sandra adores fashion and has perfect taste in clothes. She also loves experiments with different styles. I'm very proud that I know her.

My Family
Our family is neither big nor small. It consists of my father, my mother, my brother, and me. My father, a tall man with dark short hair, is 40 years old. He works as a manager at the firm. He likes his work and spends a lot of time there. My mother, a tall and thin woman with big blue eyes and fair hair, is younger than my father, she is 38. My mother is a teacher at the secondary school. She teaches her students foreign languages: German and English. She also spends much time at school, but she finds time to cook, sew, knit, and even to help my brother and me with our homework. My brother is only 10, and he is a schoolboy.
I am 16. I am a student of the college. My college is far from our house, and it takes me half an hour toget there by bus. We are studying different subjects there, but my favourite ones are History and English. As to my appearance, I am slim and slender. My hair is fair, my eyes are blue. I look like my mother. I like to dress in a modern style. Music is my hobby. I am fond of dancing at the disco. I like to read books too. Twice a week I go to the swimming pool.
We live in a three-room flat in a new block of houses. There is a nice green park near our house, where we spend a lot of our free time. There are many different shops not far from our house. My brother and I often go shopping.
Our family is nice, and everybody is easy to get along with. We take care of each other. We spend much time together. Recently, we have bought a car, and now we often go down to the country to have a rest on weekends. In the evening, all members of our family watch TV or discuss everyday problems. Sometimes we go to the theatre or to the concert.

Interior of a flat: Bedroom. Night. Gerald is sitting in bed, reading a novel. He has half-moon glasses on and has a cardigan on over his pajamas. Clara comes in, trying to seem casual, then sits down on the piano stool at the end of the bed. He does not look up.
Gerald: Well?
Clara: I think we should divorce.
Gerald: Oh yes? (Without looking up from his book.) Why?
Clara: It's obvious, isn't it? Neither of us can live in this atmosphere.
Gerald: Really? We always have. (He is apparently mild-mannered. But as soon as Clara speaks, he interrupts.)
Clara: Look...
Gerald: Oh, yes, I can see it would suit you. I'm an embarrassment. I'm getting old. I've seen you do it to everyone since you were a girl. If they don't shape up, kick 'em out.

The Weather
УРОВЕНЬ
Задание 1. Прочитайте, переведите текст, обратите внимание на слова, выделенные курсивом
English Weather
The weather in England is very changeable. A fine morning can change into a wet afternoon and evening. And a nasty morning can change to a fine afternoon. That is why it is natural for the English to use the comparison “as changeable as the weather” of a person who often changes his mood or opinion about something. “Other countries have a climate, in England we have weather.” This statement is often made by the English to describe the meteorological conditions of their country.
The English also say that they have three variants of weather: when it rains in the morning, when it rains in the afternoon or when it rains all day long. The weather is the favourite conversational topic in England. When two Englishmen meet, their first words will be “How do you do?” or “How are you?” And after the reply “Very well, thank you; how are you?” the next remark is almost certain to be about the weather! When they go abroad the English often surprise people of other nationalities by this tendency to talk about the weather, a topic of conversation that other people do not find so interesting. The best time of the year in England is spring (of course, it rains in spring too). The two worst months in Britain are January and February. They are cold, damp and unpleasant. The best place in the world then is at home by the big fire. Summer months are rather cold and there can be a lot of rainy days. So most people who look forward to summer holidays, plan to go abroad for the summer, to France or somewhere on the Continent.
The most unpleasant aspect of English weather is fog and smog. This is extremely bad in big cities and especially in London.

Seasons
There are four seasons in a year: spring, summer, autumn and winter. Every season is beautiful in its own way.
When spring comes nature awakens from its long winter sleep. The days become longer and the nights become shorter. The ground is covered with green grass and the first flowers. The air is fresh, the sky is blue and cloudless, and the sun shines brightly. The trees are in full blossom. The days are warm and everything is full of life and joy.
Spring is followed by summer. The weather is usually fine in summer, but it can be very hot, especially in July. Sometimes there are storms with thunder and lightning. In summer people try to get away from the city noise and spend more time in the open air. They pick mushrooms and berries in the forest, swim in the rivers and lakes, go fishing and boating. Most people prefer to have their holidays in summer.
Autumn begins in September. The days become shorter and the nights become longer. The leaves turn yellow, red and brown and fall to the ground. Most birds fly away to warm countries. September is called Indian Summer. It is a beautiful time when the sky is cloudless, the trees around is golden, but gradually it gets colder and colder. It often rains in October and November which makes autumn an unpleasant season.
In winter the sun sets early and rises late. The rivers and lakes are frozen over. Everything is covered with snow. Sometimes it is very cold, about 25-30 degrees below zero. Going out in such weather isn't very pleasant. Winter is a good time for sports. People go in for skating and skiing.
As for me, I like all the seasons, but I think there is nothing like late spring.

English Meals
An Englishman's day begins when he sits down to breakfast with his morning paper. There is nothing he likes better than his favourite breakfast of cornflakes with milk and sugar, bacon and eggs, toast and marmalade, tea or coffee. It is really a big meal. Round about 11 in the morning some Englishmen, who work have their tea or coffee break. Then at midday, say from 1 till 2, the city pavements are full of people on their way to cafes. This is lunch time in Great Britain. At lunch people seldom eat soup. Those who have lunch at home may eat chicken or clear soup but not always. They usually have a meat course and a sweet dish. Englishmen like steaks, chops, roast-beef, Yorkshire pudding or fish and chips. A meat course is served with plenty of vegetables: peas, beans or cauliflower. They call green cabbage leaves or lettuces "salad" and eat it with the so called "salad-dressing", a mixture of oil, vinegar, salt, pepper and mayonnaise. A sweet dish is perhaps fruit and pudding or a pie with tea to follow.
Afternoon tea can hardly be called a meal. Tea drinking is quite a tradition with the English. 5 o'clock tea is not usually served at the table though Englishmen don't find it convenient. Each person has a cup and a saucer and a spoon in his hands. Strong tea is mostly drunk with sugar and cream or milk. Such tea is known as English tea. Tea with lemon is called Russian tea in England.
The evening meal, when all the family gathers round the table, after their working day, goes under various names: tea, high tea, dinner or supper. It is usually a meat course followed by tinned fruitor cake and tea.
When outing, that is on a picnic, the English load their luncheon baskets with all sorts of hamburgers or sandwiches made of slices of bread and butter with ham, cheese, raw tomatoes, cabbage leaves in between.
On the whole, English cuisine is not the best in theworld. Englishmen prefer just "good plain food".

Shop and Shopping
When we want to buy something, we go to a shop. There are many kinds of shops in every town. I like to do my shopping at big department stores and supermarkets. They sell various goods under one roof and this is very convenient. A department store is composed of many departments: ready-made clothes, fabrics, shoes, sports goods, toys, china and glass, electric appliances, cosmetics, linen, curtains, camera, records. You can buy everything you like there.
In a food supermarket we can also buy many different things at once: sausages, fish, sugar, macaroni, flour, cereals and tea. At the butcher's there is a wide choice of meat and poultry. At the bakery you buy brown and white bread, rolls and biscuits. At a dairy you can buy milk, cream, cheese, butter, and many other products.
The methods of shopping may vary. It may be a self-service shop where the customer goes from counter to counter putting into a basket what he wishes to buy. In small shops the shop-assistant helps the customer in finding what he wants. You pay money to the cashier and he gives you back the change.

Вы прочитаете статью из журнала об одном из самых известных магазинов Британии “Marks & Spencer”.
Нижеуказанные люди, места и вещи встречаются в статье. Как вы думаете, как они связаны с Marks & Spencer. Они расположены в том порядке, в каком встречаются в тексте.
| - the Duchess of York - £10 million - a Polish immigrant - shoelaces | - Spain - Paris and Newcastle - jumpers - chiropodists |
Marks & Spencer (or M&S) is Britain's favorite store. Tourists love it too. It attracts a great variety of customers, from housewives to millionaires. The Duchess of York, Dustin Hoffman, and the British Prime Minister are just a few of its famous customers. Last year it made a profit of £529 million, which is more than £10 million a week.
It all started 105 years ago, when a young Polish immigrant, Michael Marks, had a stall in the Leeds market. He didn't have many things to sell: some cotton, a little wool, lots of buttons, and a few shoelaces. Above his stall he put famous notice “Penny Stalls”.
Ten years later, he met Tom Spencer and together they started “Penny Stalls” in many towns in the north of England. Today there are 564 branches of M&S all over the world - in America, Canada, Spain, France, Belgium, and Hungary.
Surprisingly, tastes in food and clothes are international. What sells well in Paris sells just as well in Newcastle? Their best-selling clothes are:
- for women: jumpers, bras, and knickers (M&S is famous for its knickers!);
- for men: shirts, socks, pajamas, dressing gowns and suits;
- for children: underwear and socks.
Best-sellers in food include: fresh chickens, bread, vegetables and sandwiches. Chicken is internationally the most popular convenience food.
The store bases its business on three principles: good value, good quality, and good service. Also, it changes with the times - once it was all jumpers and knickers. Now it's food, furniture, and flowers as well. Top fashion designers advise on styles of clothes.

Sports and Games
It goes without saying that one of the most important tasks today is to bring up a healthy generation. That is why most governments pay special attention to sport and physical education. All students have at least two PT lessons a week. Most colleges have well-equipped gyms, swimming pools and tennis courts, where students can develop physically and get all the necessary skills and habits. It is known that most teenagers are interested in sport or take part in a sporting activity.
Boys, girls and teenagers participate in a great number of sport events. They include indoor and outdoor sports such as football, rugby, cricket, swimming, squash, tennis, running, athletics, horse-riding, archery, chess, and many other social games.
Many of these activities are organised through school or through youth clubs. Every school, college or university has sport teams and groups. They are formed to compete with other schools and clubs.
In many cases sport has become a commercial affair. Large sports and leisure centres have excellent facilities for sport and fitness. Though they are not free, and people have to pay, children and grown-ups attend them willingly. Such places are especially popular with teenagers because they usually offer discounted rates for young people.
Nowadays almost all people are fond of some sport, because it helps them to keep fit and because they enjoy it.
There are summer and winter kinds of sports. The winter sports are: speed and figure skating, skiing, hockey, free style and so on.
Some people prefer summer sports. The most popular are: swimming, rowing, fishing, track and field athletics, mountain-climbing, hiking and others. You can go in for gymnastics, wrestling, boxing, weight-lifting, play volley-ball, basket-ball and tennis in a gym all the year round.
Sports are very much the same in most countries, but some sports are more popular than others in a certain country. Cricket, golf and soccer are popular in England. Baseball and rugby football are popular in America.

In winter we spend much time outdoors, skating and skiing. Boys like to play hockey. In summer we like to swim most of all, because swimming makes a man healthy and strong.

Many kinds of sport originated from England. The British think that someone will do his work better if he goes in for sport as well.
Association football or soccer is one of the most popular games in the British Isles played from late August until the beginning of May. In summer the English national sport is cricket. Cricket in England is played and watched by all classes. Golf is Scotland’s chief contribution to British. Golf is everywhere in the British Isles a middleclass activity. Association football is a working-class sport as are boxing, wrestling, snooker, darts and dog-racing, fishing. Walking and swimming are the two most popular sporting activities, being almost equally undertaken by men and women. Snooker (billiards), pool and darts are the next most popular sports among men. Aerobics and yoga, squash and cycling are among the sports where participation has been increasing in recent years.
There are several places in Britain associated with a particular kind of sport. One of them is Wimbledon - a suburb to the south of London where the All-England Lawn Tennis Championships are held in July (since 1877). The other one is Wimble - a stadium in north of London where international football matches, the Cup finals and other events have taken place since 1923. It can hold over 100,000 spectators.

A Fantastic New Idea
Eighty years ago, Mr. Goode of Putney, South London, went to the chemist’s to buy some aspirin. In the shop, he almost forgot about his tablets as he stood looking at the pimpled rubber mat on the counter. It had given him a fantastic new idea.
He paid for his aspirin and the rubber mat. Then he rushed home, cut the rubber mat to the right shape and size and stuck it to his wooden table tennis paddle. The thin layer of rubber helped him put a very fast spin on the ball. When he became the English champion, everyone started copying him, putting a rubber layer on their paddles, and soon Mr. Goode’s clever idea completely changed the style and speed of table tennis.
Table tennis was first invented in England in about 1880. At first the game had several strange names: Gossima, Whiff Whaff and Ping Pong. It wasn’t until 1926 that the international Table Tennis Association was formed with
