Alex's biography
| Alex's story is not a long one to tell. He was born 18 years ago in Moscow where some relatives of his still live. His grandmother died recently. He took her death to heart. Alex adored her and she contributed much to his upbringing. She was an interesting personality,indeed. Alex's parents have lived in Murmansk for 13 years. So he considers Murmansk his home town. All his friends live there too. Through all the school years Alex did well in his studies. In fact his parents werevery proud of him. He was never short of confidence and he always had his feet on the ground. Books about adventures were his pastime. He made up his mind to go to sea. He set his heart on fighting against storms on a ship which ploughed through the great seas. He looked forward to hearing about his exam results and entering the Technical University. His patience was finally rewarded, he had broken the back of the task. He passed the initial period of adjustment and didn't lose heart in being a seaman and knowing the ropes. | die [daı] умирать recently [΄ri:sntlı] недавно death [deθ] смерть adore [ə΄do:] обожать contribute[kən΄trıbju:t] содействовать upbringing воспитание personality личность indeed в самом деле, действительно consider считать be proud of [praud] гордиться confidence[΄konfıdəns] уверенность have one's feet on the ground быть практичным adventure[əd΄ventòə] приключениe pastime [΄pa:staım] увлечение, досуг make up one's mind решать set one's heart [ha:t] хотеть plough [plau] прокладывать путь, бороздить enter поступать patience[΄peıòəns] терпение reward [rı΄wo:d] вознаградить break the back of the task выполнить самую трудную часть задачи adjustment адаптация lose heart терять интерес know the ropes знать дело очень хорошо |
