GRAMMAR REVIEW.
I. Read and translate the text.
Remember, not so long ago, when the telephone used to be a simple receiver connected by a wire to the wall? And all you used your phone for was to make a phone call? Today, new technology has changed the telephone and what people use it for.
Computer-based technology has given us instant connections and clearer conversations over the telephone.
But you dont need to be at home or at the office to use the telephone anymore. Mobile phones (also known as cellular phones) have no wires. You can carry one in your pocket or keep one in your car. A call from a mobile phone travels along radio waves to stations located in different places. From there the radio signal is connected to the regular phone system. With a mobile phone, anyone who can drive and talk can also drive and phone. This means less wasted time: You dont have to look for a phone booth or use coins to make a call. So remember, next time you are at the beach or riding your bicycle, there might be a call for you!
Answer the questions.
a) How have computers improved telephone services?
b) How many uses of the telephone can you find in the passage?
c) How many uses of a mobile phone can you find?
d) How does a mobile phone call reach a station?

ADDITIONAL READING
I. Translate the text, pay attention to the word IT.
It is difficult to imagine modern life without a telephone. It is a beautiful instrument of interconnection which enables people to speak to one another over great distances. At present it is as easy to speak across a continent or even overseas as it is to speak to a next door neighbour.
We are usually making long distance calls with the help of an operator, although in some cities it is possible to dial directly.
Telephones are useful and convenient for many reasons. People like to speak with their families and friends, and business organizations cant carry on their activities without telephones. The telephone really proves its usefulness when there is a fire or when a person is ill. The first thing of which we think then is where is the nearest telephone or telephone booth?
as easy as - ... ...

HELSINKI - DAUGHTER OF THE BALTIC
Helsinki is a modern city. Here is tourist does not come face to face with the past as he does in many old European capitals. Yet there are areas in Helsinki which give a genuine and comprehensive picture of the atmosphere and architecture of the past.
HISTORY. Great fires destroyed the old wooden Helsinki many times, but it was always rebuilt. The only remains of the trade and seafaring town that Swedish King Gustav Vasa founded in 1550 at the mouth of River Vantaa are the foundations of a church. The massive walls of the Suomenlinna fortress date from 18-th century. Helsinki became Finlands capital in 1812. Many the citys historically interesting sights date from the beginning of the 19-th century, when the administrative centre was built around the Senate Square. Helsinki had a population of 4000 in 1812. At the turn of the century the figure was 79000 and it is just over a million at present.

TRAVELLING IN BRITAIN
Once you have arrived in Britain, you will have no difficulty in travelling around the country. A network of rail services links all principal towns and cities, only in remote or sparsely populated areas can you be more than a few miles from a railway station. In addition, there are express coach services available between many towns.
Each town or district also has its local bus routes serving even the more remote villages. There are regular air services between the major cities operated by British Airways and several independent air lines. If you bring your own car, you will find that even the smaller country roads are well surfaced and in good condition. And you can take advantage of the scenery and picturesque villages on the way. Considerable lengths of motorways are now in use, others are being built and will be open soon. Most of these motorways are long-distance roads, like the one connecting London and Birmingham1), but some are just short stretches by-passing heavily congested towns or industrial areas.
