Task 2
Read and translate the text: My Friend
My name is Alex. Im thirteen years old. I have a very good friend, who is also my classmate. His name is Sasha. I think its very important to have good friends, as they are a vital part of our life. For me such important person is Sasha. We both live in the same block of flats. I live on the 5th floor and he lives on the 7th. Our parents are also friends. We always visit each other on special occasions. I think me and Sasha get on well because we have almost the same interests. For example, we are both fans of football. We like both watching and playing football. We often play against other schools and the teams from other districts. Sasha is a great goalkeeper. I think he should be taking part in professional football. We also both enjoy playing computer games, so when we get a new game we always share with each other or simply play together. Another mutual interest we have is bowling. As we both like this pastime, our parents sometimes take us to the local bowling club. Opposed to having similar interests we also have some differences, but it doesnt influence our friendship. For example, Im quite good at Maths and Physics, whereas Sasha isnt. So, when we have a difficult homework at these subjects, I always help him out. The subjects Im bad at are Literature and History, whereas Sasha is really good at them. So, when I need help with these subjects he helps me out. In other words, Sasha is always there for me and Im glad to have such a reliable and trustworthy friend

Task 3 Read and translate the text Shopping.
Shopping can be both a must and a pleasure. Some people hate shopping and place their orders by telephone.
Others make a hobby of shopping tours and do their shopping out themselves.
The British are not very adventurous shoppers. They like reliability and buy brand-new goods wherever possible.
Sometimes the British go to the market in search of bargains. The market is large; part of it is in the open-air. A wide range of clothes, household goods, fruit and vegetables is on sale and prices are often lower than in the ordinary shops.
If you don't want to spend a lot of money, you should watch newspaper ads for sales. You may go to different kinds of sales: semi-annual and annual sales, one-day sales, half-price sales, clearance sales, warehouses sales and many others.
