Countries have
different opinions of animals and different traditions.
One example is dogs.
In Europe and America Asia , dogs are dirty
animals. They live on the street. I remember an advertisement a few years ago,
an American advertisement. It showed a man running with his dog. Man and dog as
best friends. Well, they tried to show this advertisement in Asia
and it was a disaster. No one wanted to see a man with a horrible, unclean
animal like a dog.
Another example is
an elephant. In Europe , we love elephant. We think
they are funny. In India Africa ,
elephants are killers. Every year they kill hundreds of people. They’re big,
dangerous animals and people are frightened of them.
New
words:
Opinion ( ) – думка, погляд,
переконання
Advertisement (
) - реклама
Frightened (
) – наляканий
TEXT 2
There was ones a
very bad king. All the people hated him. One hot day the king was walking along
the river. He decided to take a swim. The king was a good swimmer, but when he
got into the water, he suddenly felt a pain in his side. He started to drown.
Two farmers were working in a field nearby. They jumped in the water and saved
him. They didn’t know that he was a king until he was out of the water. The king
was very grateful to the farmers. He said to them, “You have saved my life. Ask
me for everything you want”. One of the farmers said, “I need two buffaloes to
help me in the fields”. The king promised he would give him the animals. Then
the king asked the other farmer, “What is your wish?” the other farmer was old
and wise. He thought and thought. Then he said,”Don’t tell anyone that I helped
save your life”.

The perfect body
Most people were
surprised when Renee Zellweger got the part of Bridget in the film Bridget
Jones’s Diary. The film is about a young woman who worries about work, her
weight and men. Zellweger is a slim American woman – completely different from
Bridget who is English and overweight.
So, what did Zellweger
do to get the part right? She had lessons to improve her English accent and she
put on about eleven kilos. For several months she didn’t do any exercise and
she ate a lot of pizza, peanut butter sandwiches and chocolate. Although it was
fun at first, she often felt quite sick.
Zellweger put the weight
on because she thought it was important to be as real as possible. She was
surprised, however, by people’s criticism. People criticized her for being fat
when she put on weight for the film. They often criticized her again for being
too skinny when she lost weight after the film. She realized it’s almost
impossible to have the perfect body in the eyes of media.
So why did she do it?
Well, money was probably one reason. On top of her $15 million salary, she earned
$225.000 for every kilo she put on. That’s an extra $2.5 million! And she
didn’t stop there. A British slimming magazine paid her $3.5 million to lose
all the weight again. So perhaps Zellweger doesn’t need to care about the
criticism when she earns all this money!
TASK 1 (1-3 m .)
Mark sentences as true (T) or
false (F).
1. Most people thought
Zellweger was the wrong person for the part of Bridget Jones.
2. Zellweger was

like an English person.
4. She ate a lot and
exercised a lot.
5. She put on weight
to feel like Bridget Jones.
6. She earned $2.5
million for every kilo she put on.
TASK 2 (4-6 m .)
Answer the questions.
1. What’s the film
Bridget Jones’s Diary about?
2. What did Renee
Zellweger do to be right for the role?
3. How did she manage
to gain several kilos? How did she feel?
4. Was it an easy task
for her?
5. Was she upset by
media criticism? Why? Why not?
6. How much did she
get for the film?
TASK 3 (7-9 m .)

Giving gifts
Unlike the UK , gift-giving is very important in Japan Japan
Chinese people will probably refuse your gift several times, but it
is polite to continue offering it to them. Do not give clocks to Chinese people

avoid alcohol and leather from pigs.
Gift-giving is less formal
in South America

Tom’s First Royal Dinner
After “The Prince and the
Pauper” by Mark Twain
Once Tom, a boy from
a very poor family, met the Prince. They looked at each other and saw that they
were very much alike. So the boys decided to exchange their lives for some
time: the Prince went to Tom’s family and Tom went to the Royal family.
So, one day at about
one o’clock Tom was dressed for dinner. Then he was taken to a large room,
where a table for one person was ready.
The room was full of
people.
All of them knew
that the Prince was mad and that they
had not to show any surprise if he did anything strange.
Poor Tom ate with his fingers, but no one
smiled. He looked at his napkin with great interest, and then said:
“Please take it
away; I’m afraid it will become dirty”.
The napkin was taken
away without a word of protest.
When he finished his dessert, he filled his pockets with nuts, but nobody
paid any attention to that either.
Suddenly his nose
began to inch. He looked first at one
then at another of the lords near him. They ran up to him and asked what the
matter was. Tom said with tears in
his eyes:
“My nose is itching
terribly. What shall I do?”
Nobody smiled;
nobody knew how to help him.
Tears began to run
down his cheeks; at last he begged pardon of the people standing around him and
scratched his nose himself.
Nobody smiled, but
all were sorry for the prince.
At last our small
friend was led to his cabinet and was left alone.
Then he remembered the nuts. He took them out of his pockets and soon
was cracking them and feeling almost
happy for the first time since he became a prince.
When the nuts were
all eaten up, he found some books in a bookcase, among them one about the etiquette of the English court. He lay down upon a sofa and began
to read it.
New
words:
Mad ( ) – шалений, несамовитий,
розлючений

Family of languages
At one time, at the
beginning of history, people probably spoke the same language. As time went on,
this parent language (some think that there were several parent languages)
spread and changed. At first, the parent languages were spoken by small groups
of people. By and by, these groups grew in numbers and there wasn’t enough food
for all of them, so people began to move to other places. When these tribes
arrived at a new place, they spoke almost the same language as before but as
the time passed people began to say things a little differently. Some words
that were needed in the old home were made to describe new experiences. Ways of
making sentences changed too. And suppose the people had settled in a place where
others were already living. Then the two languages blended, and both of the
languages changed. At first, the speech of the new people had changed only a
little from the original language.
After a long time, when
there were many changes in words, sounds, and grammar, it could be considered a
new language. In just these ways, Spanish, French and Portuguese developed from
Latin; and English, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, and Dutch grew from an early
form of the old Germanic languages. The ancestor language, together with all
the languages which developed from it, is called “a family” of languages.

The British Character
The British are often viewed as the
most boring people in the world. They wear unimaginatively
formal clothes, eat tasteless food, and practice slow sports and have a
specific sense of humors which is not usually understood by foreigners. They are also said to be conservative, reserved and cool. Indeed, the British are not very open and spontaneous. They do not kiss or embrace by way of greeting so as not to
allow familiarity. They always keep a
certain distance and are not willing to manifest their feelings and emotions. It is not easy to make
friends with them but once you have made a friend, it is a friend for life.
The English are said to be the
masters of trivial conversation.
Their “small talk” usually deals with the weather or some general questions as it is not accepted
to interfere in someone’s private life.
The British are very polite. They
always queue when they are waiting
for a bus and hold the door open for the person behind them. On the other hand,
the English football fans are regarded as
hooligans and vandals. Generally speaking,
however, the British are well-mannered.
“There is no place like home”, say
the British. These words best express an Englishman’s traditional love of his
home. About 70% of all the people have their own houses. Most homes have a
garden in which the British spend a lot of time growing flowers and looking
after the lawn – a national pride.
The English are completely crazy
about pets. There are more animal rights groups in Britain
It is not easy to decide on the typically British characteristics. Not
all English people are cold, uncommunicative or boring, not all of them are
crazy about lawns or animals. Still, there is one thing that is typically
British: a strong connection with tradition and a wish to keep their country’s uniqueness. Some people say that the
British live in the past, but they are simply proud of their country.

III КУРС
TERM I

Text for listening
The word “diet” originally
meant “things that people usually eat”, but, these days, we use the word to
mean an eating pattern or programme designed to change something.
We could be talking
about any one of many different kinds. There are diets for avoiding certain
chemicals, like salt, and there are diets to increase amounts of certain
things, like potassium. There are even diets to help people put on weight.
However, despite all
these, we usually say “diet” about losing weight. This is certainly the area
where the money gets spent. And it has a long history.
But when did it all
start? There’s a story that in 1087, William the Conqueror, King of England,
had become so fat that he could no longer ride his horse. He stayed in bed and
drank alcohol instead of eating food to try and lose weight.
Now, it may or may not have worked for him,
but we can’t really recommend it as an approach for most people. What’s
important is the kinds of food you eat, because different foods contain
different things our bodies need.
But it has taken a long
time to find out exactly what these are. Sea travel led to some increase in
understanding. When it became possible to build ships that could go on long
voyages, sailors started to spend many months at sea. They also started getting
a strange disease called “scurvy”. Eventually, it became clear that they needed
fruit or vegetables to survive. Today, we know that Vitamin C is the reason.
Although the discovery
helped their lives, there was much more that wasn’t known. Nobody knew, for
example, why some people got fat and others didn’t, or what to do about it.
Then, in the 1890s, a
chemist called Wilbur Atwater began investigating how foods consisted of
proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. He found that he could measure the heat
value of these by burning them and called a unit of this heating a “calorie”.
This measurement he
created can be seen as the start of modern food science and dieting. Since
then, knowledge has come quickly – some people say too quickly!

Tower
Nowadays, a wonderful
collection of the Crown Jewels is on display in the Jewel House at the Tower.
The collection includes St. Edward’s Crown which is used for the coronation
ceremony and the Imperial State Crown that holds 3 000 precious jewels.
The royal scepter holds the biggest diamond in the world named the “Star of
Africa”.
The jewels are protected
by the Yeoman Warders of the Tower known as Beefeaters (a nickname for well-fed
servant). They still wear the uniform of the 15th century and their
duties have little changed since that time.

because the tradition goes that if they disappear the Tower will fall down.

Red Rocks Amphitheatre
Not far from Denver 400
feet high. All that humans had to do was to add the stage
and seats.
When it opened in 1941,
Red Rocks filled with the sounds of opera and classical music. In 1964 the
Beatles gave a concert there. Soon rock musicians considered the amphitheatre
the place to play. Today you can hear any type of music at Red Rocks.

are as impressive as its sounds. Spectators have a great view of Denver

on the plains of Wyoming
The Indian name for
Devil’s Tower is Mateo Teepee, or
“Bear Lodge”. An Indian legend says that three girls who were picking flowers
were chased by bears. The girls scrambled onto a rock, but the bears followed.
To protect the girls, the Great Spirit raised the rock high into the sky. The

rock.
More recently, Devil’s
Tower figured in another legend. For his film, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, director Stephen Spielberg
