Photographing animals Photographer James Warwick visits Kenya and Namibia and has just returned from India. James didn’t find photography interesting but on holiday in Africa during university, he decided on his future job. James has to get up early for most of his African pictures.

Some photographers vis- it different places on one trip, but James prefers to stay in one place and learn all about it. He has some wonderful pictures of Indian tigers.

James doesn’t use his flat in Britain much. He doesn’t mind living out of a suitease, but he sometimes finds life hard without his friends.

The crystal vase that Jane brought as a present made the room look more personal. The dining-room had little furniture too. There was a table, four chairs and a cupboard there. There were no pictures on the wall. Ralph’s friends brought a landscape and it gave to the room a real character. The bedroom had only a double bed and a dressing table with a stool. There were orange curtains with red spots on the windows. The guests admired the Brown’s house and were full of helpful ad- vice how to furnish the room. Comprehension Vocabulary What’s the opposite?

The History of the London Police Today there are policemen everywhere but in 1700 London had no policemen at all. A few old men used to protect the city streets at night and they were not paid very much. About three hundred years ago London was starting to get bigger. The city was very dirty and many people were poor. There were so many thieves who stole money in the streets that people stayed in their homes as much as possible. In 1750 Henry Fielding started to pay a group of people to stop thieves. They were like policemen and were called ‘Bow Street Run- ners’ because they were working near Bow street. Fifty years later there were 120 Bow Runners but London had be- come very big and needed more policemen. So, in 1829 the first metro- politan (or London) Police Force was started with 3000 officers. Most of them were working on foot but a few rode horses. Until 1920 all the police in London were men. Today London police are quite well paid and for the few police of- ficers who still ride horses the pay is even better than for the others. Comprehension I.

Why do you prefer this model? & Henry Ford was born in 1863 in the state of Michigan. He grew up ona farm but he didn’t want to become a farmer. He left school when he was sixteen. He wanted to make cars so he went to work as a mechanic. In 1869 Ford built his first car. That car was very different from the cars of today. For example, its wheels were bicycle wheels. In 1902 Ford built a car that won an important race. This car was the fastest car that had ever been built. It went seventy miles per hour. By then Ford had enough money to start the Ford Motor Company. At that time a car cost a lot of money. Only very rich people bought cars. Ford had a dream. He wanted to build a car that many people could afford. Ford was sure that if people could afford a car they would buy them. He said: “Everybody wants to be somewhere he isn’t”. Ford’s plan was to make all his cars the same. Cars that are all the same take less time and less money to make. Then Ford could charge less money for those cars. In 1908 Ford produced his famous Model T Ford. The Model T was sold $850. That was much cheaper than other cars but still more than most people could pay. One day Ford visited a meat-packing factory. There he saw beef carcasses being moved from one worker to another. Each worker had a particular job to do when the beef carcasses reached him. Ford real- ized that he could use this assembly line method to build cars.Posgin 1. TekcTn ana yuTaHHa 27 It took less than two hours to build a car on the assembly line. Be- fore it took fourteen hours. Ford was able to drop the price of the Mod- el T to $265. Ford’s dream became true. The Model T was now a car that many people could afford. By 1927 when Ford stopped marking the Model T. Over 15 millions of those cars were sold. Comprehension I. Vocabulary Complete the description. 1.

Can you name animals that helped people to deliver the messages? How is mail delivered today? Around 1850 the USA began to grow rapidly. New land was added to the country. The discovery of gold in California brought thousands of settlers to the west coast. The USA had been about 1000 miles from east to west. Suddenly it was about 3000 miles wide.Posgin 1. TekcTn ana yuTaHHa 29 The US postal service had a big problem: how could the mail travel from the East to California? The postal service had two solutions. Neither solution was very good. Hither stagecoaches carried mail on the trails the settlers used, or the mail was taking by ship around the tip of South America. Either way the trip took about a month. When the mail finally arrived it was very old. Then in 1869 the Pony Express began. The Pony Express went from the state of Missouri to Sacramento, California. It had 400 horses, 80 rid- ers and 180 stations. The stations were about 10 miles apart. Riders went as fast as twenty-five miles per hour from one station to the next. At each station a new horse would be ready. Within a minute the rider was off again. Each rider went seventy-five miles before passing the mail to the next rider. The mail was delivered within 8 days! The Pony Express riders faced many dangers. They had to cross rivers, mountains and deserts. They had to travel throughout the night and in all kinds of weather. The riders could be attacked at any time by bandits or Indians. Yet only one rider died and he died only after he delivered his letters. The mail was lost only once. Around the same time that the Pony Express had started, the tele- graph was invented. In 1861 a telegraph line was built across the coun- try. News that took eight days to reach California now took only an hour. What riders could in 8 days telegraph could do in an hour? So the Pony Express ended just 18 months it had been begun.

Chewing Gum Pre-reading task + Do you like to chew gums? + What is your favorite gum? + What do you think of chewing gums? + Why do you chew them? We think of chewing gum as a modern American invention. But this is only partly true. For thousands of years people have chewed gum resin, a juice col- lected from the trees. In Mexico for example, Indians have long chewed chicle, the gum resin from the sapodilla tree. In 1850 Mexico and the USA fought a war over Texas. General An- tonio Lopez de Santa Ana led the Mexican soldiers. When Mexico lost the war, Santa Ana had to leave his country. He went to live in New York and he took with him a large amount of chicle.32 TexeTn Ana wnranns. TemaTnuni KoHTponbHi po6oTH An American inventor Thomas Adams, bought some chicle from Santa Ana. He wanted to make the chicle into a rubber but his plan failed. Adams then decided that chicle was better as something to chew. In 1871 he made and sold the first gum balls. Those gumballs were a great success. Then in 1890s, a man named Wrigley first made chewing gum as we know it today. William Wrigley had little education or money, but he had an idea. He made gum into a flat sticks and added special fla- vors. Today, the Wrigley’s Spearmint Gum and Juicy Fruit gum are among the most popular chewing gums in America. How did modern chewing gum spread from the USA to other coun- tries? During World War I and World War II the USA Army found that chewing gums kept soldiers from getting thirsty. So American soldiers were given chewing gums for each day. The soldiers who fought in Europe often gave gum to the people they met. Gum became as popular as it was in the US. Today, of course, chewing gums can be found around the world. Comprehension 1. Put Tif it’s true.

Do the people of our coun- try celebrate the similar holiday? On the fourth Thursday in November in houses around the USA, families get together for a feast, or a large meal. Almost all families eat turkey and cranberry sauce for this meal, and have a pumpkin pie for the dessert. This feast is a very special day, the holiday of Thanksgiving. In 1620 the Pilgrims made a difficult trip across the ocean from England. They landed in what is now Massachusetts. In England thePosgin 1. TekcTn ana yuTaHHa 35 Pilgrims had not been allowed to freely practise their religion. So they went to the New World in search of religious freedom. The Pilgrims’ winter was very hard. Almost half the group died of cold, hunger and disease. But the Indians of Massachusetts taught the pilgrims to plant the corn, to hunt, to fish. When the next fall came the Pilgrims had plenty of food. They were thankful and had a feast to give thanks. They invited the Indians to join them. That was the first Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving became a national holiday many years later because of a woman named Sarah Hale. For forty years Sarah Hale wrote to each president and asked for a holiday of Thanksgiving. At last she was suc- cessful. In 1863 President Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a holiday. How much is Thanksgiving today like the Pilgrims’ Thanksgiving? In many ways they are different. For example, historians think that pilgrims ate deer, not turkey. The idea of Thanksgiving is very much the same: Thanksgiving is a day on which we celebrate and give thanks. Comprehension 1.

TEMA 10 «MOS KPAIHA. MOE PIJHE MICTO, CEO» Text 16. Our Capital City Ilive in Ukraine and I’ve always dreamed to visit Kyiv, our capital. Last summer my dream came true. My mother and I went to Kyiv by a through train. I had a comfortable seat near the window. It took us eight hours to get to Kyiv. There we caught a taxi and went straight to a hotel. We didn’t stay there for a long time, in fact we spent only anight at the hotel. In the morning we had a bus sightseeing tour. The guide told us many interesting things about Kyiv. The city with population of over 3 million citizens, stands on the banks of the Dnipro river, which divides it into two parts. It’s one of the oldest cities in Europe, that’s why there are a lot of places of his- tory interest in it. Its history goes back to the 5th century, when three brothers of a Slavic tribe, Kyi, Shchek, Khoriv and their sister Lybed founded Kyiv. The city was named after the eldest brother Kyi. A mo- nument erected in their honor, stands on a bank of the Dnipro. A great role in history of Kyiv was played by Prince Volodymyr, who united the Hast Slav tribes into a single powerful state, Ancient Rus. So Kyiv was made the capital of Ancient Rus and it lasted for nearly three centuries. Now Kyiv is famous all over the world for its beauty, for its green hills and unique architecture. It is the city of ancient culture, the city of unu- sual beauty and eternal glory. There are old buildings, museums, monu- ments, historical places in Kyiv. Volodymyr’s Hillis one of them. It offers view of the Dnipro river and surroundings. From here you can see a bridge which connects the left and the right banks of the Dnipro. St. Sophia’s Cathedral was founded by Prince Yaroslav the Wise in 1037. The first library was founded on the ground of the cathedral. Ipersonally find Sophia’s Cathedral to be a masterpiece and the top of creative spirit of Ukrainian people. In the square opposite the St. Sophia’s Cathedral there is a monument to Bogdan Khmelnitskyi, a Ukrainian national hero.38 TexeTn ana wnranns. TemaTnuni KoHTponbHi po6oTn The Kyiv Pechery Monastery (Lavra) is another ancient monu- ment, stands on a green hill above the Dnipro. It was founded in 1051 after Christianity had been adopted. Its gold cupolas can be seen from outside the capital. A lot of other ancient monuments such as Volody- myr’s Cathedral, Church of St. Andrew, Golden Gates, Askold’s Crave attract attention of tourists. Kyiv is the centre of Ukrainian culture. The famous Shevchenko Opera and Ballet Theatre has one of the best opera and ballet compa- nies in the country. There are 6 more theatres in Kyiv. Our capital combines historic values and traditions with modern industries. There are many plants and factories in Kyiv that produce cameras, motorcycles, TV sets and other goods. Kyiv is also the city of higher schools, among which there is the Shevchenko State University, Kyiv-Mogylyanska Academy and others. One half of Kyiv territory is occupied by gardens and parks and in spring and summer time trees and bushes are full of greenery, and the city looks like one huge park. Now, if you ask me what my favourite city is, I’ll say without hesi- tation that it is Kyiv. If only once you have visited Kyiv you’ll dream of coming back there again.

Kyiv is one of the youngest city in Europe. It’s a modern city, you can hardly find there any old buildings. Its population is over 5 million. The first library in Kyiv was founded in XIX century. There is a monument to Bogdan Khmelnitskiy, the famous writer, in front of Golden Gates. Kyiv Pechery Monastery was built earlier than St. Sophia’s Cathedral.

I’m proud of my city and I love it very much. That’s why when my friends from different places come to see me, I always try to show them our city and tell them about all the sightseeing and interesting places. The truth is that40 TexeTn ana wnranns. TemaTnuni KoHTponbHi po6oTn Kharkiv is not much of a tourist city, and cannot compete with such leaders of world tourism as Venice, Rome or St. Petersburg. However all guests and visitors who come to our city on business trip say that like it here. They admit that the city has beautiful parks, squares and so it has a lot of greenery. The population of Kharkiv is more than 1.5 million people. It’s, of course, much younger, than Kyiv. It was founded in 1654 asa fortress in order to protect the southern border of Russian state. The fortress of Kharkiv became the centre of defensive system. The fortress stood on the juncture of the Lopan and the Kharkiv rivers. The fortress was impreg- nable. It was surrounded by oak walls with 10 watch towers. There were also earthworks and a moat with a stockade. The city probably takes its name after the Kharkiv river, which was deep and full-flowing. From the very beginning Kharkiv had an advantageous geographi- cal position. It helped Kharkiv to become a centre of trade and crafts in Southern Russia. Now Kharkiv is the largest scientific, cultural, industrial and trade center of Ukraine. At the same time Kharkiv carefully preserves its past — the stone chronicle of Kharkiv streets and squares. The most interesting historical places have been preserved in the central part of the city. The Pokrovsky Cathedral is the oldest city building. It was built in 1689. It’s a typical Ukrainian three-domed church. Not far from it there stands Uspensky Cathedral, which was constructed in 1777. Its iconostasis was designed by Bartholomew Rastrelli. Near the cathedral there is the Bell Tower, which was built in 1844. This is the highest building of Kharkiv rising 89,50 meters tall. The Bell Tower has a chiming clock which sound is heard every hour over the city. Uspensky Cathedral now is known as the organ music hall. The concerts of classical music and performances of folk groups take place there. The third and the most famous church in Kharkiv is Blagovesh- chensky Cathedral. It’s the greatest temple in East Ukraine. City’s main square is Svobody Square. It’s the largest square in Ukraine and one of the largest in Europe. A lot of concerts, festivals, fairs, meet- ings and public events take place there. The central part of the square is occupied by the State Industry building of Derzgprom. It was built in 1925-1928 to become the first high-rise building in the country. To the left of Derzgprom, is the building of Kharkiv National University named after V. Karazin. It was founded in 1805, a monument to the university founder V. Karasin is in front of the university. An eight-story building of the hotel Kharkiv also faces Svobody Square. The most popular resting place is Shevchenko garden. It’s the old- est green area in the city centre. It was planted in 1804, there is a monu-Posgin 1. TekcTu ana yuTanHa a ment to Taras Shevchenko, which became a symbol of Kharkiv, and acolour and music fountain in the middle of the garden. The central path of the garden is a beautiful chestnut-tree alley leading from Taras Shevchenko Monument to the University. There are also gigantic oaks which are over 200 years old in the garden. The most popular place among young Kharkivites is the Zoo. It was found- ed in 1895 and has already celebrated its centenary. There are about 5 thousand animals represented 340 species of mammals, reptiles, birds and fishes from all continents. Not far from Shevchenko Garden there is an astronomical observa- tory founded in 1808. For many years observatory was headed by aca- demic Barabashov. Near Shevchenko garden there is also the Opera and Ballet Theatre. Opposite the Theatre there is the Mirror Stream fountain, which was built in 1947 in honor of the vietory in World War I. Another famous park in Kharkiv is Gorky Park. It’s famous for Children’s Railroad. The Small Southern is near 4 kilometers long and connects Gorky Park with Forest Park. From May till November young railroad enthusiasts come here to get knowledge and practical skills in this industry. They drive locomotives, work as train attendant, switch- men, and yard masters. It turns out that there are sights worth to look at in Kharkiv. Our city is especially beautiful in spring when all parks and gardens are in blossom. We invite everyone to find an opportunity to go sightseeing around Kharkiv. Comprehension I. Vocabulary Complete the definitions with the words from the box.

They loved this rabbit. They kissed it and cuddled it and called it sweetheart and all that sort of thing.

They might not notice the dif- ference!” So they raced off to the local pet shop and bought one. It looked just the same to them. They raced back and put it into a hutch and then went back home. A little while later the couple came home, went across the garden crying. The couple with the dog saw them. Suddenly they stopped and started to scream and hold each other! The couple with the dog ran out and said over the garden fence, “Is everything all right?” “No! It’s the rabbit!” “What’s wrong with it?” “It’s alive!” “What’s wrong with that?” “Well, it died yesterday and we buried it!” Nes Two-in-one story Work in pairs or small groups.

It’s one o’clock and we begin our af- ternoon programme ‘Meeting Famous People’. Here is Mr. Frank Dav- is, a famous children’s writer. He will tell you some facts about his hobbies. Welcome to the programme, Mr. Davis. Mr. Davis: Now I’d like to begin by remembering those times when I was a little boy. [had so many hobbies then. First, I think, I was a great collector of different things. I collected stamps, badges, coins, small books, pictures, pencils and what not. Whatever I collected I al- ways tried to get as many things as I could. I did try to have thematic collection. I had large collections and was proud of them. When I was older, at the age of 12, I think, I became fond of sports. Ispent a lot of time outdoors. I was playing different sports games in the yard. In summer I swam a lot and became a school champion. In the 5th form I became a theatre-goer and sometimes I also went to the cinema. When I was finishing school my parents bought me a computer. So I forgot about going to the theatre or visiting museums. Working with computers became my hobby. However soon I became tired of this hob- by too, and decided to change it. I tried to paint pictures in my free time, but I wasn’t very good at it. Then one day I had an idea to write a story about my dog. The story was rather short. It was not very clever or interesting but it was myPosgin 3. Temaruuni KoMOinoBaHi KOHTPONbHi poboTH 63 story and I liked it very much. This is how I began to write stories about animals. My little daughter liked to listen to them before she went to bed. She said she was fond of my new hobby. Now it’s difficult to say if it is my hobby or not as it is my work now.

They often write about their families and homes or about the places they live in. Here is Don’s letter to his friend. My name is Donald but my friends call me Don. We live in Scotland in a small house far from the town centre. Our town is small but there is a theatre in it in the main square. The streets in my town are not very wide, but they are very beauti- ful, with a lot of flowers and trees. Our house is in the old part of the town. You can see an old square tower in that part. It was built many centuries ago and nobody knows the name of the architect. The tower is very high and there is a large bell in it. The tower has become our town museum. If you visit this place, turn to the left and the road will lead you to a beautiful small church. When you cross the bridge you will be in the new part of the town. The streets are wide in this part. There are also many cinemas and shops, as well as some monuments. I have already been to many places of interest in our town and can show all them to you. If you have never seen Scotland come and stay with us. Maybe you'll find our life here quite dif- ferent from your life in the city, but I’m sure you’ll like our little town. 6 CLASS APPEARANCE.

A friend of a friend of mine told it to me. He said it was true! Anyway, this couple didn’t have any children, so they went and bought a rabbit, an angora rabbit, you know, the one with long hair and little red eyes like Panasonic power lights. They loved this rabbit. They kissed it and cuddled it and called it sweetheart and all that sort of thing. Anyway the couple next door had a small dog, you know, the sort that bites postmen in the ankle. And they said: “If our dog ever gets that rabbit it is going to be a very dead rabbit”. Anyway, one day they came downstairs and saw their dog in the garden going, GRRRR! GRRRRI!! So they went into a garden and found there a very dead rabbit. The neighbours weren’t in; the car wasn’t in the garage so the people with the dog took the rabbit inside the house and put it on the table. “They are going to be so upset if they know our dog killed their rabbit!” “Why don’t we get another one? They might not notice the difference! ” So they raced off to the local pet shop and bought one. It looked just the same to them. They raced back and put it into a hutch and then went back home.82 TexeTn ana wnranns. TemaTnuni KoHTponbHi po6oTn A little while later the couple came home, went across the garden crying.

It’s the rabbit!” “What’s wrong with it?” “It’s alive!” “What’s wrong with that?” “Well, it died yesterday and we buried it!” GREAT BRITAIN Test-paper Ne 4 1.

Until a few years ago, shops opened at nine o’clock in the morning and closed at half past five or six o’elock in the evening. Some also closed for an hour for lunch. In many towns, shops were closed on Wednesday afternoons. On Sunday, nothing was open. But now some shops are open longer hours. Some big shops and many supermarkets never close! If you need a litre of milk or some bread at midnight, you can easily buy it. For people who work long hours or people who often work at night or early in the morning, like doctors, the new shopping hours are good. If someone finishes work at five o’clock in the morning, they can go to the supermarket on their way home and buy some breakfast or a news- paper or anything else they may need.

IV. Reading Read the letter and mark the sentences T (true) or F (false). Dear Richard, Hi! How are you? Thanks you for your letter. You asked me about ways to help the environment. I’ve got a few ideas which I think will help you. Firstly, you should recycle your glass, paper and aluminium cans. It’s very easy, you just take them to special recycling bins. There are some outside the library in the car park. Secondly, why don’t you go to work on foot and not by car? That way you’l] help to reduce pollution levels in the atmosphere and get fit at the same time! Finally, how about picking up the rubbish in your street?

Listening (Teacher’s sheet) Why Are Animals in Danger? Anuillion years ago there were much more species of animals than there are now. Of course, some species disappeared naturally, but to- day they are disappearing faster than before. Animals are in danger because we, people, can’t protect them. There are certainly changes in the weather and some animals die be- cause of these changes but there are a lot of endangered animals be- cause people do not think about them, they don’t take care of animals. We put new buildings on empty land, we make new roads, we move rivers, we take away trees. In fact we destroy the animals’ natural ha- bitats. Sometimes we take animals from their natural home to a differ- ent country. In this new home, other animals do not know the new- comer and are not afraid of it. Black rats went by ship from Asia to the Galapagos Islands and killed many different species of birds. Some of
