Speaking About Friends
Vlad: Good morning, mum. How are you?
Mother: Fine, thanks. Did you sleep well?
Vlad: Yes, thank you. And where is Dad?
Mother: He went out half an hour ago together with Alexei. They went shopping. Well, Vlad, it is your birthday soon. Are you going to have a birthday party this year?
Vlad: Well, I "d love to. You know, mum, now when I am at college I have got many new friends. It would be nice if I could invite them to my place.
Mother: Excellent idea! Let's count how many friends you are going to call so that I can think about the menu and all the things.
Vlad: I want to ask my best friends. They are Ilya, Stepan and Igor.
Mother: Do I know any of them?
Vlad Ylad: I suppose you have seen Ilya. Maybe you remember that broad - shouldered fellow with fair hair and dark eyes. We came across him in the street the other day.
Mother: Ah, now I know whom you are talking about. He is fond of music and plays the guitar very well, as you told me. Okay, what about the rest?
Vlad: Stepan is a funny slim little guy with brown hair and a snub nose. He is fond of reading fantasy and T took several books from him to read. He is an easy-going fellow. I like to talk to him. He came to our place in October. But you were not in at that time. Dad saw him, I believe. And Igor is my new friend. He is very clever. He is a computer genius. The teachers say. But he is not a bookworm. He plays volleyball and swims well.
Mother: Do you want to call any of your former schoolmates?
Vlad: Actually, it will be nice to invite Misha. I haven't seen him for ages.
Mother: Good! And will you ask Lena to come?
Vlad: Oh, yes, certainly!
Mother: Then you will invite your friends with their girlfriends, too.
Vlad: You are right, mum! Well, Igor"s girlfriend is at college with us, and Ilya took Masha hiking this summer, you know, when our group went on a three-days" hike. She is good-natured and friendly. And just a week ago I saw Stepan with a remarkable long-legged girl with blond hair. I suspect it is his new mate.
Mother: What about Misha?
Vlad: So far as I know, he doesn't have a girlfriend at the moment.
Mother: Maybe you will invite one of your former classmates who is on friendly terms with him.
Vlad: Why not? I think I will invite Veronica. She is very sociable. I will be glad to see her, too.
Mother: So, how many people do we have, all in all?
Vlad: Let me see... Igor and Olga, Stepan and his girlfriend, Ilya, Masha, Misha and Veronica. Ah, and Lena and me, of course. It makes ten people all together. Well, it is going to be a magnificent party, Mum
Mother: I am sure of that.
TEXT Talk about friends (page 89)
Vlad: Good morning, Mother. Ka what's up?
Mother: OK, thank you. Did you sleep well?
Vlad: Yes thank you. Where is Dad?
Mother: He and Alexei left half an hour ago. Let's go to the shop. Vlad, it’s your birthday soon. Are you going to have a party this year?
Vlad: Well, I would like to. You know, Mom, now that I'm in college, I have a lot of new friends. It would be great if I could invite them to my home.
Mother: Great idea! Let's figure out how many people you're going to invite so I can plan the menu and everything.
Vlad: I want to invite my best friends. These are Ilya, Stepan and Igor.
Mother: Do I know any of them?
Vlad: I think you saw Ilya. Maybe you remember that broad-shouldered guy with blond hair and brown eyes? We ran into him on the street the other day.
Mother: Ah, now I understand who you are talking about. He is interested in music and plays the guitar well. Okay, what about the rest?
Vlad: Stepan is a cheerful, thin, short guy with brown hair and a snub nose. He is interested in science fiction, and I borrowed several books from him to read. He is very pleasant to talk to. I love talking to him. He came to our house in October. But you weren't home then. Dad saw him, it seems. And Igor is my new friend. He is very clever. Teachers say he is a computer genius. But he's not a botanist. He plays volleyball and is a good swimmer.
Mother: Do you want to invite some of your former classmates?
Vlad: In fact, it would be nice to invite Misha. I haven't seen him for a hundred years.
Mother: Okay, but will you invite Lena?
Vlad: Yes, sure!
Mother: Then you and your friends need to invite girls.
Vlad: You're right, mom! Well, Igor's girlfriend is in college with us, and Ilya took Masha with him this summer, you know, when our group went camping for three days. She is good-natured and friendly. And about a week ago I saw Stepan with a beautiful long-legged blonde. I suspect this is his new girlfriend.
Mother: What about Misha?
Vlad: As far as I know, He has no one now.
Mother: Maybe you could invite someone from the class who is friends with him?

TEXT Choosing a Present. Hobbies (p. 99)
Stepan: Hello, old boy. How are things?
Ilya: Not bad, thank you. Look, Stepan, has Vlad invited you to his birthday party?
Stepan: Yes, he has. And why are you asking?
Ilya: The matter is that he has invited me as well, "and I am now thinking about a present for him. It is always a difficult issue, isn"t it?
Stepan: I don't think that it is such a great problem.
Ilya: Well, of course, you are going to give him a book in fantasy. Both of you know everything about this sort of thing.
Stepan: Actually not. You see, there is hardly a book in fiction he hasn't read. What I am really thinking about is a photo album. So far as I know, he is fond of taking pictures and has a rather good camera. It"s not a bad present, is it?
Ilya: You see, just a month ago we went shopping together and he bought a large album.
Stepan: Thank you for telling me this thing. I didn't know that.
Ilya: Besides, I think it is not a good present for a close friend. I mean you can give such a thing to a fellow whom you don"t! know very well. I know Mad well enough to give him something that he will really like. We have been friends with Vlad for quite a long time to learn a thing or two about his tastes, haven't we?
Stepan: Maybe you are right. What else can you suggest, then?
Ilya: In his free time he likes to work with his PC. Is it possible to give him a couple of nice games on CDs?
Stepan: Oh, no. He says he doesn't understand people who play computer games. It's a waste of time, in his puter is for work, not for leisure - these are his own words.
Ilya: He is a very serious guy, I know. But the problem remains. What will you say about a CD of his favorite group? Do you want to give him a poster or a T-shirt?

PREFACE
This textbook was created in accordance with the Federal State Educational Standard and the foreign language program in technical specialties for institutions of secondary specialized education.A foreign language for technical specialties in the classifier approved by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation belongs to the cycle of general humanitarian and socio-economic disciplines (OGSE).
The textbook consists of four sections.
Based on the fact that one of the training requirements is the development of basic communication skills, the authors considered it necessary to start the textbook with a short introductory and remedial phonetic course, since correct pronunciation is one of the essential conditions for communication.
The next section, “Fundamentals of Practical Grammar,” contains brief theoretical information, test questions on the main topics of grammar, educational texts and exercises for them.
The authors considered it inappropriate to extend the study of grammar throughout the entire course. In their opinion, it is better to give a fairly brief and complete picture of English grammar from the very beginning, which can later be supplemented with the necessary details.
The third section, “Professional activity of a specialist,” examines topics directly related to the future work of graduates of an educational institution. The main goal of this block is to develop the ability to conduct conversations on professional topics and read specialized literature. Each topic repeats grammatical phenomena studied in the previous block.
In the fourth section, “Business English,” instead of tasks from previous blocks related to general everyday or special topics, students are given narrower business tasks.
The material in all sections is divided into lessons for greater convenience. The concept of “lesson” here is thematic, i.e. it unites a certain range of issues, and does not at all mean “one hour”
or “one lesson.” The specific number of hours allocated to each lesson can be determined by the teacher, taking into account the whole and the level of preparedness of the group.
SECTION I
INTRODUCTORY-CORRECTIVE
PHONETICS COURSE
– – –
There are 44 sounds in the English language (12 vowels, 24 consonants and 8 so-called diphthongs, that is, sounds consisting of two vowel elements). Please note: the number of sounds is not equal to the number of letters of the English alphabet, of which there are 26!
– – –
Transcription is the designation of sounds with conventional signs.
In this case, each transcription sign corresponds to one sound.
Transcription is usually written in square brackets.
International transcription signs

Main features of English articulation and pronunciation Before starting to work with individual sounds of the English language, let us note some differences between English articulation and Russian.
1. The British do not articulate vigorously with their lips, do not round them strongly, do not stretch or protrude.
2. In a neutral position, Russians’ lips are more relaxed, the corners of their lips are lowered. The British have more tense lips and the corners of the lips are raised, which slightly resembles a smile.
3. When articulating English consonants, the tongue is moved back more and is in a lower and flatter position than when articulating Russian consonants. Therefore, they are not softened and pronounced firmly, with the exception of: [S], [Z], , , and also [l] before the vowels i, e, u.
4. When pronouncing English vowels, the tongue is often in the back. oral cavity, and when pronouncing Russian - mainly in the front.
This leads to some characteristic features of the sounds of the English language.
Vowels
1. Vowels of the English language, unlike Russian ones, are divided according to quantitative criteria into long and short. Long vowels are pronounced more intensely than short ones. For example: [I] - , live - leave . But not all short vowels have a paired long sound.
2. Diphthongs and vowels are characterized by sliding articulation from one element to another. There are no such sounds in the Russian language.
Reduction of vowel sounds
In English, as well as in Russian, an unstressed vowel sound is pronounced indistinctly: either the quality of the vowel changes, or its length is reduced, or the sound is completely dropped: interval ['Int@v@l], pencil ['pens@l], begin , nickel , away [@'weI].
Consonants
1. English voiceless consonants are pronounced more energetically than Russian ones.
2. For English speech, the distinction between final voiceless and voiced consonants is important, since it is semantic. For example:
cap - cab leaf - leave back - bag hat - had One of the most common mistakes Russian students make is deafening English final voiced consonants.
3. Consonants [t], [d] and nasal [n] in English are pronounced with the tip of the tongue on the alveoli, and not on the upper teeth, like Russian [t, d, n].
4. Voiceless consonants [p], [t], [k] are pronounced aspirated.
The usual unaspirated [p] in Russian in English can in some cases make it difficult to understand. Aspiration [p], [t], [k] is noticeable before the long vowel of a stressed syllable.
With a preceding [s], these sounds are pronounced almost without aspiration:
park - speak tea - stay course - skate
Accent
In English, just like in Russian, the stress in a word can fall on different syllables. Stress in transcription is indicated by the sign (’), which is placed before the beginning of the syllable: possible [’ps@b@l], impossible.
In English polysyllabic words there can be two stresses of varying strength: main and secondary. The icon for the main stress is placed at the top, and the secondary stress at the bottom: possibility ["ps@’bIlItI].
Many English words have two main stresses: fifteen [’fIf’tn], ice-cream [’aIs’krm], to get up.
Stress in English, as well as in Russian, performs different function between some verbs and nouns:
contact - to contact; interact contact [’knt(kt] - contact; interaction
In English, stress can be used to distinguish between phrases and compound words:
blackboard [’bl(kbd] - blackboard black board [’bl(k ’bd] - black board
– – –
1. Declarative sentences usually use a descending tone:
I feel well.
2. In incentive sentences expressing an order or prohibition, a descending tone is used:
3. In incentive sentences expressing a request, a rising tone is used:
Spell the word, please.
4. Exclamatory sentences are pronounced with a descending tone:
– – –
1. In a general question, a rising tone is usually used:
[(m aI leIt] Is he busy?
2. In an alternative question, the first part is pronounced with a rising tone, the second with a falling tone:
Is it Thursday or Friday?
3. A special question is pronounced with a descending tone:
4. In dissected questions, the narrative part of the sentence is pronounced with a descending tone, the interrogative part with a rising tone:
The room isn’t light, is it?
If the speaker does not doubt the correctness of his statement, he speaks with a descending tone:
Peter is eight, isn’t he?
Lesson 1 Sounds and letters: Front vowels. Consonants Text: Family Front vowels Let's start learning the sounds of the English language with the front vowels (the tongue is in front), [I], [e], [()].
The long vowel is a wider, more open sound than Russian [i]. This means that the middle back of the tongue rises to the hard palate somewhat less than for Russian. The tip of the tongue touches the lower teeth, and the lips stretch, slightly exposing the teeth.
Example: eat [t] [I] The position of the speech organs is approximately the same as for, but the middle back of the tongue curves upward a little less. The desired shade of sound lies between Russian [i] and [e].
Example: bit [e] The tip of the tongue touches the lower teeth. The middle back of the tongue bends forward and upward, but not as high as for [I]. The corners of the lips are pulled to the sides. The mouth opens a little wider than for [I].
Example: egg [()] Traditionally considered a short vowel. But in the words sad, bad, bag, jam, man it sounds long. The tip of the tongue touches the lower teeth, the front of the tongue lies lower than for [e]. The distance between the jaws is wide. This sound lies between Russian [e] and stressed [a] before a soft consonant.
Example: ax [(ks]
– – –
Noisy stops [p], [b] The lips are more tense than for Russian [p] and [b], and are slightly stretched. They close tightly for a moment, immediately open, and the air escapes noisily ([p] before a long stressed vowel is accompanied by aspiration).
Examples: pen, boot [t], [d] With English [t], [d], the tongue moves back and its tip touches the alveoli. With Russian [t] and [d], he touches the upper front teeth ([t] is accompanied by aspiration).
Examples: tent, dog
– – –
[T], [D] The tip of the tongue is loosely pressed against the cutting edge of the upper incisors, but can also be placed between the front upper and lower teeth. These sounds are not “whistling”, like Russian [s], [z], but “lisping”.
Examples: thin, then [s], [z] In English [s], [z] the tip of the tongue is raised to the alveoli, the tongue moves slightly back (in Russian [s] and [z] it is lowered). Therefore, [s], [z] have a less whistling character than the corresponding Russian ones.
The lips are slightly rounded.
Examples: sack, zoo [z] [S], [Z] When articulating [S], [Z], only the front part of the tongue rises: its tip - to the posterior slope of the alveoli, and the middle back - to the hard palate; whereas with Russian [ш], [ж] the back of the tongue also rises. Therefore, [S], [Z] have a softer color than [w], [z]. The lips are slightly extended and rounded.
Examples: ship, garage ['g(rZ], The stop beginning goes into the gap. Such sounds are called affricates. They should be pronounced more firmly than Russian [h]: the back of the tongue does not rise so high to the palate. When pronouncing, a voice is added to this articulation.
Examples: chair [е@], jug [g] [h] A guttural sound formed by the friction of an air stream against close but not tense vocal cords. When setting [h], you need to start with the structure of the tongue for the subsequent vowel and then give this vowel an aspirated beginning. The back of the tongue does not rise to the palate, as with Russian [x].
Example: hat Sonants Nasals [m], [n], (soft palate lowered) [m] Compared to Russian [m], in English [m] the closed lips are more tense and slightly stretched. The air stream passes through the nose.
Example: mail [n] The tongue is moved back somewhat, the blunt end is pressed against the alveoli, but not lowered, as with Russian [n].
Example: nest To make the sound, it is recommended to inhale through your nose with your mouth wide open. And while maintaining this position, give a voice as you inhale. When the back of the tongue closes with a lowered soft palate. The tip of the tongue is lowered.
Example: king Slit sonants [l], [j], [w], [r] [l] The tip of the tongue is pressed tightly against the alveoli, whereas with Russian [l], [l’] it is pressed against the inner surface of the upper teeth. At the end of words and before consonants, a harder shade [l] is pronounced. Hard [l] is pronounced softer than [l]. Soft [l] is pronounced harder than [l’].
Example: log [j] The middle back of the tongue rises to the hard palate a little less than for Russian [th]. Therefore, it has much less noise than Russian. The lips are stretched, the tip of the tongue is at the lower teeth.
Example: yacht [w] There is no such sound in Russian. The tense lips are strongly rounded and moved forward somewhat, forming a narrow round slit, and immediately move to the position required for the next vowel. You must make sure that the lower lip does not touch the upper teeth, otherwise you will get [v].
Example: well [r] English [r] is pronounced with the tip of the tongue close to the alveoli. The lips are slightly rounded. Only between vowels and after [T], [D], when pronouncing [r], the tip of the tongue contacts the alveoli, producing one blow.

Back vowels (the tongue is behind) include: , , , , , [V], [u], [:], [@].
Example: all [l] The back of the tongue is curved towards the soft palate a little less than for . The lips are slightly rounded, but do not protrude.
Example: ox Vowels of the back row advanced forward (the tongue is not moved so far):
, , [V], [:], [@] The vowel is similar to the Russian sound [a] in an unstressed position.
The rise of the tongue is medium, the tip of the tongue is located behind the base of the lower teeth. Lips stretched.
Example: cup English is not as deep as Russian [u]. The tongue is pulled back further than with. A significant space remains behind the lowered tip of the tongue. The rise of the tongue is high. The mouth is not open wide. The lips are strongly rounded, but protrude slightly.
Example: moon [V] The tongue is not pulled back as far as for . But there is also a significant space left from the tip of the tongue to the lower teeth. The rise of the tongue is high. The lips are noticeably rounded, but hardly protrude forward.
Example: look [:] There is no such sound in the Russian language. The tongue is raised, but the back is flat. The tip of the tongue is lowered. The corners of the tense lips are stretched. The teeth are barely visible. The mouth opening is narrow.
Example: earn [:n] [@] This vowel is called neutral. It is heard only in an unstressed position. It has a different timbre, depending on its position in the word.
Sometimes it may appear:
– in final position close to: drama
– in other positions it resembles [@]: perform

WRITING EXERCISE
Write an essay on the following topics.1. Why people leave foreign languages.
2. Mu English classes.
3. English in that life.
Use the following patterns:
Sequencing firstly (First of all) - firstly, first of all secondly, thirdly- secondly, thirdly first, then - first, then to my mind, in my opinion - in my opinion to crown it all, finally - in the end, in the end

An adverb is a part of speech that denotes time, place, manner of action, measure or degree.
Adverbs answer questions:
When? Where? How? to what extent?
Based on their form, adverbs are divided into simple, derivative, complex and compound.
– – –
We sometimes go there. ~ Sometimes we go there. Sometimes we go there.
We go there sometimes.
In complex verb tenses (i.e.
expressed by two or more verbs) adverbs of indefinite tense are usually placed after the first verb:
– – –
The verb to let can also be used in its basic meaning to allow, to allow. Then the sentence Let is read! will mean: Allow us to read! In this case, the pronoun us will receive stress.
– – –
There are five types of questions in English:
general (Do you go there?);
Special (When, why, how, etc. do you go there?);
To the subject (Who, what student, etc. goes there?);
Alternative (Do you go there or stay at home?);
Dividing (You go there, don't you?).
To correctly ask questions of any type, you need to clearly understand the pattern of general questions in all types of tenses. In this case, you can build on the diagram of affirmative sentences given in lesson 6. You will easily notice that in most cases the subject and predicate are simply swapped. A new element is added only in the first two lines of the general scheme: in the Simple Present and Simple Past tenses. Here, in the formation of the question to do, an auxiliary verb form is involved in the appropriate form.
– – –
Knowing the scheme of forming general questions, asking a special question will not be difficult. You just need to put a question word in front (what? where? when? etc.) or a group of words, and then everything follows the same pattern.
Compare:
General question Special question
– – –
In such a question, the role of the subject is played by the question word itself or a group of words (Who came? What students study here?, etc.). As a result, the direct word order is maintained, i.e. the subject is followed by the predicate. In the question to the subject, you can also use the scheme for the formation of general questions, taking into account the following: in the group Siтple no auxiliary verb is used, and since the subject is in the first method, the question to the subject in the Siтple and Siтple lines of the Present Past is modeled on the affirmative proposals.
Compare:
Affirmative sentence Question to the subject
– – –
The dividing question has two parts. The first part is not a question as such, but is an ordinary affirmative or negative sentence. This is followed by a short general question.
If the first part was affirmative, then the question is asked in a negative form, and vice versa:
– – –
All negations are easily formed according to the same scheme of general questions. It is enough just to put the subject at the beginning of the sentence, and after the first auxiliary verb - the negative part
– – –
Didn't see them.
Nobody saw them.
Doesn't have ever seen apythпg like that.
They didn't tell him the truth.
Nobody told him apythпg.
Doesn't do kоw aпythпg about it.
Not kpows pothipg about it.
Have you any news? - 1 have by news.
Please note that a Russian interrogative sentence in a negative form corresponds to an English question that does not contain a negation.
Compare:
– – –
Big, expensive, beautiful, happy, pleasant.
Write the degrees of comparison of these adjectives.
sad, fat, o1d, handsome, ear1y, interesting, communicative.
Parru, big, What category do adjectives that cannot belong to? 4.
How can we form degrees of comparison? Give examples.

Weather In the moming I looked out of the window and was very surprised.Everything was covered with snow! Snowy flakes were falling from the sky, everything was pleasant and beautiful! It was not frosty, and children were skating and making snowmen.
But look! The wind has risen! Snow is falling from the roofs to the ground. Small icicles are falling too. That's a real lizzard. It's not the best time for going out.
The Russians say "the first snow always melts". And I know that after some months winter will bе over, the trees will bе in blossom and birds will bе singing and building their nests. This is spring, the time when all the nature is awake from its winter sleep.
Then summer will come - a long period of sunshine and time of holidays for schoolchildren and students. We can go swimming, diving or mountaineering. It"s great to go cycling or hiking. We mustn"t forget to take photos: they will remind us of these exciting days.
Time flies and autumn comes. This is the period of harvest for countrymen and for me it"s the beginning of a new year of studies.
DIALOGUE English weather
Russian: "What"s the weather like in England?" Englishman: "Today it"s raining and it"s very foggy, as usual. You see there is no hot summer, and there is no cold and snowy winter." "Really? Why is it so?" "You see, Britain is near the ocean, and the water there changes its temperature slower than the ground, it has greater thermal heat capacity.
That"s why the changes are not so great." "Do you like when it rains?" "When I was a child, I liked it! Now I simply don"t notice it. I can walk without any umbrella when it "s drizzling and I never catch a cold." "Do you have central heating at home?" "Yes, I have a radiator, but I don"t have central heating yet. The weather in the world becomes more and more unusual. That's why I must think about it." "That"s a good idea. And are there any beaches in England?" "Yes, there are, mostly on the south coast, but the water isn't really warm. You'd better go to Spain. Many Englishmen do it. It"s not so far, but the weather is completely different." "Sure, I will do so."

Pronouns are words that point to objects and their attributes, but do not designate them.
The easiest way to remember basic pronouns is as follows:
– – –
The forms that, his, her, etc. are used in combination with opre 2.
divisible word. Forms tine, his, hers, etc. are used independently, that is, without a noun following it:
– – –
3. In modern English language there is no pronoun you. When addressing one person or many persons, the pronoun you is used, which is translated as you or you, depending on the context.
– – –
nie In this case, another noun follows them with the preposition of. thousands of students 1learn English.
Nouns that follow the numeral are used without a preposition: three thousand students.
Ordinal numbers are used with a definite article, even if the noun they define is not expressed,
– – –
In English, when denoting page numbers, chapters, etc., cardinal numerals are usually used, rather than ordinal numbers, as in Russian.
In this case, the cardinal number is placed after the noun, and the noun is used without an article:
Open your books atpage 10.
Read lesson one, part two, paragraph 3.
Years in dates are indicated by 1st numerals.
When reading, a four-digit number is divided into two words and each half is read as a separate “IISJyu:
– – –
It should be taken into account that the same preposition in English can serve to express several meanings and is translated into Russian, accordingly, in different ways.
Such combinations of prepositions with nouns must be memorized in their entirety in the future:
– – –
Other common prepositions:
with- with without- without ь- у, about, at; to (a certain time), also indicates the author, means, reason, source (a novel ь Tolstoy - Tolstoy's novel, ь by train, ь experience - by experience, etc.).
train for- for.
In English, many verbs are combined with certain prepositions. They often do not correspond to prepositions in Russian, and they must be memorized.
For example:
To Iook at look at
To hope for
Some English verbs do not require prepositions, although in Russian a preposition is required when translating them:
to answer - respond to to enter - enter into Therefore, in the future, pay attention not only to the verb, but also to what prepositions are used with it.

Indirect speech, unlike direct speech, conveys not the speaker’s words themselves, but their content.
To correctly construct a sentence with indirect speech, you need to know three main cases that arise when translating direct speech into indirect speech:
message (He said, reported, etc. that...);
Question (He asked, wanted to know, inquired, etc...);
Request or order (He asked, commanded, commanded, etc...).
The transition from direct speech to indirect speech occurs as follows:
– – –
From the point of view of the rules of translation into indirect speech, all questions can be divided into two groups.
A question without a question word: conjunctions are used if, or approximately corresponding to the particle whether in Russian.
whether, Direct speech: Not asked, "Do you go there?" asked if they were there.
Indirect speech: Not Direct word order applies here (the subject comes before the predicate), as well as the law of tense agreement.
Question with a question word: in this case, the role of the connecting element will be played by the question word itself. Here, too, direct word order and the law of tense agreement apply.
asked, "When do you go there?" Direct speech: Not Indirect speech: Not asked when they were there.
3. Request or order Since the infinitive (indefinite form of the verb) is used in the imperative mood, there is no agreement of tenses here.
– – –
In negative form:
Direct speech: Didn't say to them, "Don't go there".
Indirect speech: Didn't tell them not to go there.
If the time and place indicated in direct speech have changed during the transition to indirect speech, then the following replacement occurs with the speech of place and time, as well as demonstrative pronouns.

Traveling People travel a lot nowadays. The means of transport are numerous and we often have much choice.Many thousands of years ago it was not so. Figst, people traveled on foot. It is the oldest and the most natural way of travel!
Man also feels well in water. But of course, swimming is not used as a means of travelling. Still, waterways were probably the first "roads" for which the means of transport were invented: rafts, boats and ships. The ships then came into the seas, but they were sailing a long time the coastline until the man leamt to navigate looking at the stars.
One of the greatest inventions of mankind was a wheel. With the help of it appeared carts, vans, carriages, cars, and buses. This invention was a breakthrough in the transport history.
Another invention was a steam engine. It was the main reason of industrial revolution in the 19th century. It also helped to create trains. Wu the end of the 19th century a great network of railways covered our planet.
Then came the era of planes. Man at last conquered the air - the dream which was expressed as far as in the myths of Ancient Greece came true! When gyroscope was invented flying became much safer and quicker.
What are the main features of different means of travel? Traveling by air is, of course, the quickest and the most comfortable, but sometimes it's not the cheapest, and safety control is very tiresome.
Traveling by train is good because you can see the countryside and travel very comfortably. Unlike airports, railway stations are often in the center of the city. But joumey bу train often takes a lot of time, especially in Russia, and you are very close to your fellow-travellers.
Traveling bus has more disadvantages: buses are not as quick as planes and are not as comfortable as many trains. But if you travel to the country, this is the best choice!
Traveling by car is also a good choice, as you may start at any time you like and go to any place. You are limited only by the quality of the road.
So, many ways of traveling exist. Probably some more will appear in the next decades. Good luck in your choice!

Sport The healthiest way of life for a person is constant movement and exercise.When exercise stops, illnesses quickly appear. But those who don"t forget about sport have a happy and healthy life.
It is necessary to distinguish amateur sport and professional sport.
The most important difference is that professional sportsmen, on the one hand, try to win, to break records and to achieve great results because it brings them glory, fame and commercial success. Amateur sportsmen, on the other hand, go in for sport to be healthy and feel well - and not to have a sport career.
One of the simplest and most ancient sports is running. It is an exercise which doesn't make you stronger (so your muscles don't become thicker), but it makes you more resistant to stress. This sport, like many others, improves your health and even cures some illnesses.
If you are an amateur, you probably prefer jogging to running. Jogging is just like running, but here speed is not so important. Jogging is popular in Westem countries. People jog several kilometers a day and found it very healthy. Doctors wam however, that jogging for more than twenty kilometers a week may be harmful for the joints.
In this case the best solution is skiing. Skiing is a very good wintersport. Two main types of skiing are divided in this kind of sport: mountain skiing and cross-country skiing. When Russian people say skiing, they mean cross-country skiing. But Englishmen mean mountain skiing. Both kinds of sport are popular, but in order to go down the ski slopes you need more professionalism.
Besides these kinds of sports, there are games. Everyone knows such games as football, volleyball, basketball\, hockey, tennis and others.
Everyone knows them and played at least one of these games. In some ofthem only two players take part (tennis), in others- and team of several players. These games improve the velocity of reaction, ability to take quick decisions, and coordination. They arc popular with children, who follow the older sportsmen and want to е likc them.
Sport is so important for us, that lessons of physical training are included into school, col\ege and university сшriculums. Besides there are special schools, which preparc futсе sportsmen, trainers and Olympic champions.

Health Many philosophers said wise things about health - how important it is for each person, and that one lost, it can"t be restored. lf a person is eating bad food, smoking or taking alcohol - this ruins his health, and it" s very good if he has time to stop and think.In fact, health is something that is given to many of us since birth. But only active life and good nutrition can help us stay healthy as long as possible.
The first aspect of good health is a healthy diet. Food that you eat gives you energy, vitamins and fiber. And if it is junk food - it gives you extra weight and problems with your health.
The second aspect of good health is sport and exercises. Doctors recommend to use the stairs instead of taking a lift, and to walk during the break at school and college but not to sit at the same place. There are workers who have to sit at the working hours, but then they have problems with their kidneys, which is very serious.
What are other contributions to good health? ot · of course, it "s the absence of bad habits. But it"s also your attitude to life. lf you are full of energy, optimism and kind-heartedness, your life will be good. But if you are always angry, if it"s difficult for you to keep your temper - then the problems are on the threshold.
Finally, everything depends on us. Lifestyle is a way that leads to a happy and healthy life or to medical problems. The most important thing is to have and the map that shows us the right way.

Compare in Russian:
– – –
Sup she sing?
Mau she sing?
Ought she to sing?

Telephone conversation rules When you speak over the telephone, it"s important to know some simple but very useful rules, which make your communication successful.First of all, you must greet your listener with Good morning, Good afternoon, or Good evening. If it is not a person you want to speak with, please ask to call the one you want, using a polite expression. But if it happens that you dialed the wrong number, then you must apologize.
Whenever you are calling anybody, ask whether the person you speak to has enough time for you. Mauble it is not so.
Don't speak too long. Long conversation is often and mere chattering, nothing else. Never forget why you are really phoning.
But the matters that are very important should be better discussed in person. Much information is transmitted by our gestures, but very often we don't seem to realize it.
Even if your interlocutor is rude to you, you shouldn't answer back.
Key your emotions to yourself even if it's difficult for you.
Following these rules, you speak over the telephone as naturally as in person. Telephone is a great invention, it units people, but it should be used carefully in order not to separate them.

My hobbles The word "hobby" means a large variety of things that people do in their free time.We can speak about hobbles in our life when we go to school. That"s the time when time of studies can be clearly distinguished from time of rest. Children go dancing, swimming, they sing, play the piano or other musical instruments. They are found of different sports and games, such as footba\1, gymnastics, figure skating and others.
This is thc first time when they collect things - for example stickers, stamps, badgcs. lt's good when the "hobby" doesn't take very much time.
If it"s so, it"s already a bad hablt. We can say so about computer games.
It's not good to become addicts.
When we are teenagers, our interests become wider. Boys become fond of digital technologies and cars; girls are often fond of flowers, different clothes and animals.
Now when we are college students, our hobbles are various. One of the boys of the group is fond of making robots with remote control and iPhone.
This is grcat! Another bу likes to draw cars and their owners. This is a very unusual "hobby"! As for those 1 learn to make computer programs and I"m sure it will be helpful for me in my work.
My parents say that when their family life began, many of their hobbies disappeared. So 1 have a great opportunity. But my mum still likes to knit, and my dad - to make furniture. These hobbles are not only interesting for them, but also useful for the whole family.
Hobbles make our life very interesting. lt"s especially good when there are people with similar interests around you. This helps us to relax from our studies or main work and do something pleasant for ourselves and the others.

The metallic system Physics measures such physical characteristics as time, length, mass, density, velocity, area, volume, temperature and energy. Different units of length and mass exist. Nearly all of them are interrelated. Nowadays, three main systems of measurement are widely used: the British system of unity, the metric system of units and the Intemational system of units (SI).
With a few exceptions, all the nations of the world use the metric system.
It is so easy that anyone who knows arithmetic can leam it quickly. Before the introduction of the metric system (meter-kilogram-second), the British foot-pound-second system was widely used. But the latter system (which is still in use in Great Britain and the USA) was very complicated and caused serious difficulties in the intemationa1 trade. For example, in the British system 1 mile is equal to 1760 yards, 1 yard - to feet and 1 foot- to 12 inches. This means that it"s very difficult to convert units.
But in the metric system each unit is a multiple of the following lower unit by ten. Therefore, the conversion to a higher quantity is done by moving the decimal point to the right to the required number of p1aces, and vice versa.
The idea of decimal system was realized only at the end of the 18th century. In 1791, the French Academy of Science decided that the standard of length should be one ten-millionth part of the distance from the Equator to the North Pole. The two French scientists charged with the task took this distance on a line running through Paris and divided it into 10,000,000 equal parts. They called one of the parts and meter (“measure”), which became the main unit. Meter was also used to measure area and volume. Thus a square meter and a cubelc meter appeared.
The main advantage of the system is that for shorter measurements the meter is divided by ten, so a decima1 system was used. Shorter units had Latin preftxes and longer ones - Greek preftxes. So, "millimetre" is Latin for "a thousandth part of a meter" and "kilometer" is Greek for "a thousand meters".
As for the unit of mass, it was defined as the mass of a cube centimeter of water at the temperature of 4 c (the temperature of its maximum density). As we know, the name of this unit is gramme.
The SI units is derived from the metric system and was integrally accepted in 1960. Besides meter (m), kilogram (kg) and second (s), its basic units are Kelwin (K), ampere (a), mole (mol) , and candle (cd). This system was introduced in our country in the 1960s and every day we measure things by the units from this system.

TECH Functions of computers Computer is one of the inventions of the 20th century that changed the world greatly. The first computers of the 1940s were enormous. But now they are in almost every family and in every office building.
Most rnachines do only one job, some are multifunctional (e.g. and TU set + + DVD player). But no device is as multifunctional as computer. The parts of the macblne (or its hardware) remain the same, you change only the program (software) and your computer immediately learns to do various tblngs. And the browser program is designed to look at pages on the Internet (you can also say to browse, tbls accounts for the word browser). And the word processor program lets you print text and then change styles of fonts and sizes of pages. A database program is used for searching and sorting records. Such program is used in shops, libraries, hospitals, accountant offices, and so on.
They make work with great amounts of data much quicker.
Computers are found everywhere and used in every sphere of life. In a plant one can make a computer model of a car or plane and check its resistance to stress. Such calculations without a computer could have taken several months. Computer is used at school: children watch films, presentations and web pages. This helps them to study effectively.
Computers also have some disadvantages. There is a famous joke that computers are designed to solve problems but half of the time they are the problem. As a computer is a complicated device, one small breakage may stop its work. Moreover, the equipment is soon out of date.
Besides, there is a problem of compatibilty. First of all, there are hardware devices which can"t work with the old operating systems, such as a processor, a hard disk drive, a video card, etc. Then, there are programs which need more resources than the computer actually lшs.
Thirdly, computers have become more and more complicated, and much effort is required to learn how to work with them. Fourthly, computer viruses cause a lot of trouble - they can spoil, remove or steal computer data, and every user knows it well from his experience.
And on top of all, computer is a multifunctional device, as we already know, so it can be used both to do work and to entertain oneself. Children often fall prey to computer and Internet: they play computer games, spend their free time chatting with friends on the Internet and doing practically nothing. This aspect can't be denied.
Then crown it all, computer is a good device like many others, designed to help people. But it's our own free will that lets us use it in order not to waste time but to get best results.

Lesson 20 TECHT
The Urals - the center of Russian metal industry The Urals - a borderline between Europe and Asia - are a mountain chain which appeared many years ago as a result of tectonic activity. As time went on, the mountains were being destroyed by the action ofwater, sun and air. As a result, the highest mountains are only one thousand meters high. One more consequence is that the greatest deposits of ores came to the surface of the Earth. The fact that they were easily accessible stimulated the development of plants.
The Ural mining industries began during the time of Peter the First. In the 18th century the Urals, with their high quality ores and rich forests (and fuel for plants) played the greatest role in the world industry. Russia exported metal even to Great Britain.
The modemisation of the Ural industry began with Magnitogorsk plant, built near the mountain Magnitnaya, rich in metallic ores. Later, many engineering plants were built in the region. The greatest plants are situated in Magnitogorsk, Nizhniy Tagil, Chelyabinsk and Novotroitsk.
At the beginning of the 20th century the Ural metal industry suffered a crisis because of the shortage of coal. But the delivery of coal from Kuzbass solved the problem.
lt must have mentioned that about 70 metals and minerals were first discovered in the Ural mountains. Large deposits of iron, copper, lead, zinc, nickel, titanium, wolfram and many other metals characterize the region.
Nowadays some of the deposits are exhausted, and the plants work on the ores from the new layers (Kazakhstan, Siberia). But nevertheless, the Urals are the region with great history, traditions and experience, and hopefully it will have new stages of development.

Hundreds of electronic eqllipmcnts arc now used for scientific, industrial and everyday pllrposes. They l1clp to do jobs better or more rationally than before and take over jobs that coLJidn"t bе done otherwise.
So, industrial electronics plays a vcry important role today.
You can easily find many electronic additions at lume: a tape recorder, a TV set, an MP3 player, a computer and many othcrs.
The application and use of electronic eqllipments dcmands and good knowledge of their fundamentals.
In meters and lamps electricity flows in the wire. Bllt inside any transistor or microcblp (and previously, in radio tubes) electric current passes through the space (or semiconductor) separating certain parts in tbls detail. Such action is called electronic. lt"s not difficult to imagine it because the same happens in lightning. There you actually see how electricity jumps through space.
The first electronic equipments used radio lamps. They were: a radio set, a TV set, computing machines (predecessors of modem calculators), computers (wblch occupied big rooms), tape recorders.
The next stage came when transistors were invented. The devices became more powerful and much smaller. The number of devices increased greatly, some multifunctional devices appeared (radio + tape recorder).
Computers and calculators became smaller: cassette recorders and videocassette recorders appeared.
The next period was the period of microcblps. They helped to reduce big parts of devices, computers and other devices.
The latest period of industrial electronics development is the period of total digitization of all electronic devices, making them compatible with the computer. Photos are no longer made on film but on memory cards, cassettes and video cassettes are out of use. Television is also becoming digital.
Industrial electronics is a great part of our leisure time, it makes people's lives easier, and reduces their working time.

Text My Working Day (p75)
Hello. My name is Vlad Volkov and I am a college student. I am in my first year now.
I want to tell you about my usual working day.
It is 6.30 am and my younger brother Alexei is knocking at the door of my bedroom. "Will you jog with me today?" he asks. This is the way every morning begins for me. I went jogging last year but then I have become “lazier and Alexei uses every chance to mock at me. He goes jogging regularly and he is a “good sportsman by the way - so his coach says. Alexei goes in for tennis and he has been playing football since he went to primary school. He is the best forward in his team.
Alexei goes away and I stay in bed a little while longer. But anyway it is time to get up. I go to the bathroom and take a shower and clean my teeth, then come back to my room and switch on the television to watch the news while I am brushing my hair, shaving and putting my clothes on.
Now it is time for breakfast. All my family is at table - my mother, my father, Alexei and myself. We have scrambled eggs and bacon, a cup of tea and sandwiches. We chat and discuss news. I think it is right time to introduce my family members to you. My mother's name is Mary. She is a children's doctor. My father"s name is Alexander and he is an engineer. Alexei is still a schoolboy. He is four years my junior. Oh, I haven"t yet told you about my elder sister. Her name is Nina. She is married. Her husband and she rent a flat not far from our place.
After breakfast I look through my notes - just in case I have left something behind, put on my coat, then say good-bye to my mother and leave home. My father gives me a lift to the college in his car. He starts working later than my classes begin.
I arrive at my college just in time to say hello to my fellow-students before the bell goes. As a rule, we have three or four periods every day. We go to college five days a week. Saturday and Sunday are our days off. We have lectures and seminars. Sometimes we work in the workshops. To my mind, these are the most interesting lessons. My friends say that we will be having a test in English today. I think that writing tests in grammar is more difficult than speaking English. I hope I won't fail.
During the breaks we go to the gym and play a round or two of basketball or volleyball. My friend John and I are a fund of reading fantasy and we discuss the latest book by Nick Perumov. He asks me if I liked the book that he had given me. I tell him that I will have read the book by the end of the week.
At 1 pm we have a long break. We go to the canteen and have a roll and a cup of juice. Then there is one more period, which is Mathematics. It is my favorite subject. The classes are over at 2.40 pm. Sometimes I go to the library to study there, but today I don't.
On my way home I see my girlfriend Lena. She smiles at me and we walk together for a while. I suddenly remember that we will have been dating for a year next week. 1 will go and look for a present for her tomorrow. When we first met at a party, I told her that she was the prettiest girl in the world and I had been looking for her all my life. Now I think that she is not only the most beautiful girl, but also the best friend. I am really fond of her. She is still a schoolgirl; she is leaving school this year. Lena's dream is to enter Moscow State University.
I come to my place at about 4 pm. Mother is already at home. She is cooking in the kitchen. Soon my father and brother arrive and we have dinner together. After dinner I do my lessons for tomorrow, watch television and read. I don"t go out because the weather has become worse. I go to bed at about 11.30 pm.

My Hobby
Hobbies differ like tastes. If you have chosen a hobby according to your character and taste you are lucky because your life becomes more interesting
Hobbies are divided into four large classes: doing things, making things, collecting things and learning things.
The most popular of all hobby groups is doing things. It includes a wide variety of activities, everything from gardening to traveling and from chess to volleyball.
Gardening is one of the oldest of man's hobbies. It is a well known fact that the English are very fond of gardening and growing flowers especially roses.
Both grown-ups and children are fond of playing different computer games. This is a relatively new hobby but it is becoming more and more popular.
Making things includes drawing, painting, making sculpture, designing costumes, handicrafts. Two of the most famous hobby painters were President Eisenhover and Sir Winston Churchill. Some hobbyists write music or play musical instruments. President Bill Clinton, for example, plays the saxophone.
Almost everyone collects something at some period of his life: stamps, coins, match –boxes, books, records, post cards, toys, watches. Some collections have no real value. Others become so large and so valuable that they are housed in museums and galleries. Many world-famous collections started in a small way with one or two items. People with a good deal of money often collect paintings, rare books and other art objects. Often such private collections are given to museums, libraries and public galleries so that others might take pleasure in seeing them.
No matter what kind of hobby a person has, he always has an opportunity of learning from it. By reading about the things he is interested in, he is adding to what he knows. Learning things can be the most exciting aspect of a hobby.
TEXT Getting Ready for a Party. Cooking. Shopping (p 111)
Vlad's birthday is on the eleventh of October. His friends are coming to his place and they are going to have a party. In the morning on the tenth of October Vlad and his mother are talking in the kitchen.
Mother: Darling, will you help me with cooking?
Vlad: Sure. But aren't you afraid that I spoil everything? 1 am not much of a cook.
Mother: Actually, there is nothing you can spoil. Just take the carrot and four or five potatoes, put them into the pot, boil them for about half an hour. Then peel and dice them, thpn put all them into that blue bowl.
Vlad: What are these vegetables for?
Mother: They are for your favorite meat salad, of course. Then add pickles, peas, three boiled eggs and sausage.
Vlad: And mayonnaise, of course.
Mother: Ah, certainly. And we"ve run out of mayonnaise. When you and Dad go shopping don"t forget to buy some.
Vlad: All right. And what about green peas? I don't see anyone in the refrigerator.
Mother: Don't you? I thought we had some left. Anyway, you can include a can of green peas in your shopping list.
Vlad: Mum, what are you going to cook for the main course?
Mother: I think beef stroganoff is a nice choice,
Vlad: Beef stroganoff? This is meat cooked in sour cream and served with rice, isn't it?
Mother: Exactly. How do you like this?
Vlad: You know, it is what I really like.
Mother: Of course, I know it very well. By the way, I don"t think I"ll bother about baking a pie. You will buy a nice cake and I"ll bake some cookies.
Vlad: Certainly. Well, as soon as the salad is ready, Dad and I will go shopping.
Mother: All right, here is the shopping list.
In the Supermarket (p112)
Father Let's begin from the very beginning. Do we have to buy any dairy products?
Vlad: Yes, we"ll take half a kilo of sour cream and three hundred grams of mayonnaise.
Father: Do you want any cheese? There is no cheese in the list.
Vlad: What about taking some? Just to be on the safe side.
Father: How much shall we take, do you think?
Vlad: About four hundred grams. This piece will do.
Father: Right. Let's take a packet of milk as well.
Vlad: What about canned goods? We need a can of peas, a can of strawberry jam for the cookies and a liter of sunflower oil.
Vlad: Do we have to buy any meat?
Father: No, we don't. But we must buy some salami.
Vlad: Shall I ask the shop assistant to slice it?
Father: We"d better buy sliced salami in a vacuum package. It has a better taste, in my opinion. And what will you say about buying some smoked salmon?
Vlad: I’d love someone. Take this pack, please, will you? Now let's go to the confectionery, I want to choose a chocolate cake!
TEXT Sales Tax (p113)
Cities and states in the USA have the right to charge an additional percentage of the cost of some goods.
In most places, the sales tax is from 5 to 10 per cent of the price of goods you buy. You should pay the sales tax for many non-food items, such as technical equipment, books, records, household products, appliances, cameras and films. You will pay a sales tax for prepared food, for example, when you are in a restaurant. You must remember that the prices listed on items in stores do not include sales tax - a cashier will add it to your bill.

Vlad: I know Stepan loves everything spicy.
Lena: Anyone want lemonade or mineral water?
Anya: I'd like some mineral water, please!
Lena: Do you want carbonated or plain?
Anya: Simple please.
Vlad: Isn’t it time to bring something hot?

TEXT At home in the USA (page 133)
The USA is often portrayed as a country of skyscrapers. In fact, this is not entirely true. Tall buildings are located in the center (downtown), they house offices of large firms, banks and shops. Real America begins with small, cozy houses built for one family with children. Each house has its own style, its own “face”, its inhabitants decorate it with love and care. Of course, young people under 25 are not worried about having their own home; they prefer not to buy a home, but to rent it. But after the engagement, they begin to look for suitable housing. The engagement lasts from six months to three years (sometimes even longer), but one way or another, and by the age of thirty, young people begin to live in their own homes.
A typical house has two floors. On the ground floor there is a living room, hall and kitchen, while on the second there are bedrooms. The garage is located downstairs. An American will say, “I live in a two-bedroom house,” which means the house is not very big, or, “My house has 5 bedrooms,” which means the house is quite large. There is usually a small garden or lawn in front of the house. The basement usually houses a laundry room and sometimes even a gym! Winters are rarely harsh in the US, so the walls are not thick. Houses are built very quickly. The construction company needs 3-4 months. To build a new house. Of course, the houses have all the amenities.
Houses can be located quite far from the center. Living far from the center is not a problem, since every family member has a car.

Houses in the USA (p.133)
The USA is often pictured as a country of skyscrapers. In fact, it is not quite so. The tall buildings are located in the center (downtown), housing offices of large firms, banks and shops. Real America begins with little cozy houses designed for one family with children. Each house has its own style and "face"; its inhabitants decorate it with love and care. Of course, young people usually don"t bother about having a house of their own until their mid-twenties, and prefer renting an apartment to buying a house. As soon as they get engaged, they start looking for a suitable house to live in. Engagement lasts from half a year to three years (sometimes even longer), but anyway by the age of thirty the young couple starts living in a house of their own.
A typical house is two-storeyed. On the ground floor a sitting room, a hall and a kitchen are situated, while upstairs there are bedrooms. A garage is downstairs. An American will say: "I live in a two-bedroom house" which means the house is not very large, or: "There are five bedrooms in my house", which means the house is quite large. In front of the house there is usually a small garden or a lawn. In the basement there is often a laundry and sometimes even a gym! Winters are rarely severe in the USA, so the walls are not thick. The houses are built very quickly - it will take a building company three to four months to build a new house. Of course, there are all modern conveniences.
The houses may be located rather far from the centre. Living far from the center is not a problem as every family member has a car.

My flat.
I live in a new 16-storeyed block of flats. It’s located in a very picturesque place not far from the Moskva River. There is a big supermarket on the ground floor and it’s very convenient to do everyday shopping.
Our flat is on the fifth floor. It's very comfortable and well-planned. We have all modern conveniences, such as central heating, electricity, gas, hot and cold running water and a telephone. There are three rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom and a hall in our flat. There is also a balcony and we can enjoy a lovely view of the river.
The largest room in our flat is the living room and we use it as a dining room and as a sitting room. In the middle of the room there is a large table and six chairs round it. Opposite the window there is a wall unit with lots of books and a TV-set. There are two comfortable armchairs and a small coffee table in the right corner. There is also a sofa and an electric fire in our sitting room. We like the living room best of all, because in the evenings we gather there to have tea, watch TV, talk and just relax and rest.
My room is the smallest room in our flat, but it is very cozy and light. There is a bed, a wardrobe, a desk, an armchair and several bookshelves in my room. There is a thick carpet on the floor. The walls in my bedroom are yellow and there are some big posters on them. I like my room very much but from time to time I change it round. I quite often move the bed and change posters on the wall.
Our kitchen is large and light. It is well-equipped. We have got a refrigerator, a freezer, a microwave oven, a coffeemaker, a toaster and a dishwasher. We use it as a dining room in the mornings.

On Traveling (p 141)
People started traveling in the ancient times. The first travelers were pilgrims, nomads and explorers. Traveling was really dangerous in those days, but there were always brave and daring people who went on discovering new lands, in search of wealth and fame.
Nowadays things have changed significantly. Hundreds of companies are willing to help you if you are planning to go somewhere. You are free to choose where to go: you may want to spend a vacation in the mountains or by the sea, and a plane will take you to the place of your choice in a matter of hours. A lot of people will cater to the needs of the travelers in hotels and holiday centers all over the world. Visitors are amused and taken care of in any possible way. Holidaymaking has become one of the most profitable industries, and the budget of many countries, such as Turkey, Egypt and Greece depends on tourism a lot. Traveling has become easier - and maybe less exciting.

TEXT A Visit to a Doctor (p151)
On Monday Vlad felt unwell. He had a sore throat, a running nose and a bad cough. He went to college, but after the first period his teacher told him to go and see the doctor, because he had the symptoms of the flu, and it was a very catching disease. So Vlad left the college and went to a polyclinic. There were several people in the queue in front of the cabinet, but in less than half an hour Viad"s turn came and he entered.
Vlad: Good morning. May I come in?
Doctor: Yes, please. What is the matter with you?
Vlad: I think I have got a slight cold, doctor. I have a sore throat and a running nose.
Doctor: Do you cough?
Vlad: Yes, I do occasionally.
Doctor: Have you taken your temperature?
Vlad: As a matter of fact, I haven't, doctor.
Doctor; Then take a seat. Here is a thermometer. Well, young man, your temperature is rather high - it is 38.4°. Let me examine your throat. Now strip to the waist, please. I must sound your chest. All right, you can dress yourself.
Vlad: Well, doctor, is there anything serious the matter with me?
Doctor: Don"t worry; there is nothing really serious. You have got flu. It is spring now, and many people suffer from flu. But you shouldn"t treat your disease lightly. It often leads to complications, if a patient doesn't follow the doctor's advice.
Vlad: What am 1 to do, doctor?
Doctor: Here is the recipe, take these pills three times a day. Gargle your throat with this mixture every two hours. Don't go to the chemist's yourself. Ask your relatives to go and fetch the medicine for you. Drink hot tea or milk. And stay in bed for at least three days. Do you need a sick leave?
Vlad: Yes, I do.
Doctor: Then I"ll give you a leave for three days, and then you will come to see me again.
Vlad: Thank you very much, doctor. Goodbye.
Having left the polyclinic, Vlad went straight home. He asked Alexei to go to the chemist"s for the medicine and went to bed. He followed the doctor"s advice and did everything he had prescribed. His friends called him and asked how he felt. They wanted to come and see him, but Viad's mother didn't allow them to. So they sent him some to read. By the end of the third day Vlad stopped sneezing and coughing and his temperature was normal again. He was glad that he recovered.
