Starlight 11 Family / friends relationships, household chores

Let's recollect the phrasal verbs:

HOUSEHOLD CHORES

1. Family / friends relationships, household chores

Families come in all shapes and sizes. The most traditional type of family is the nuclear family, which consists of a mother, father, and their children. However, this is not the only type of family that exists.

Extended families are also common. These families include grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. They often live together or close by to provide support and care for each other.

Immediate families are another type of family. This includes just the parents and their children. Immediate families can be found in both nuclear and single-parent families.

Blended families are becoming more common as well. These families include children from previous relationships or marriages. The new spouse becomes a stepparent to the children, creating a blended family.

Single-parent families are families with only one parent. This could be due to divorce, separation, or death of a partner. Single parents work hard to provide for their children and offer them love and support.

Regardless of the type of family, they all share a bond of love and support for each other. Each family is unique and special in its own way.

It's important to recognize and respect all types of families, as they all play an important role in society. Whether you have a nuclear family, extended family, immediate family, blended family, or single-parent family, you are part of a loving and supportive group.

The life of Indians is centered in the family. Extended families often live together, with two or more adult generations, or brothers, sharing a house. In much of the countryside, neighbouring houses share a wall, so from the street one sees a continuous wall pierced by doorways. In other areas, in the south for example, the main house will have a veranda on the street, with an open courtyard behind. As people get richer, they introduce improvements like tiled roofs to their houses. Most home activity is outside in the compound courtyard or on the verandas of the house.

Only in a few parts of India do people live on their farmland. The village is thus is a settlement area, or a set of settlement areas, surrounded by unbroken fields, with farms frequently made up of separated plots. A large village will have a primary school, and a small shop or two.

⠀2. Глаголы, после которых употребляется и инфинитив, и герундий:

Следующий пункт посложнее: есть глаголы, после которых можно использовать и герундий, и инфинитив.

Часть этих глаголов будет менять значение в зависимости от того,с чем они употребляются - с герундием или с инфинитивом.
⠀Глаголы, которые меняют значение: таблица герундия и инфинитива в английском языке:

to remember
remember doing = помнить что-то. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I remember leaving my cell phone on the table. (Я точно помню, что оставил телефон на столе)	remember to do = вспомнить, не забыть. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Remember to take your keys before you go out. (Не забудь взять свои ключи перед тем, как пойдешь на работу).
to forget
forget doing = забыть/не иметь сил забыть о чем-то, что уже произошло. I will never forget meeting her. It changed all my life! (Я никогда не забуду…)	forget to do = забыть что-то сделать в настоящем или недалеком прошлом. I think I forgot to turn off the iron. (Мне кажется, я забыла выключить…)
to regret
regret doing = пожалеть о чем-либо, что уже произошло. I regret talking to her that way! (Я сожалею, что разговаривал с ней так!)	regret to do = сожалеть о чем-либо, что приходится делать сейчас. We regret to inform you that you have not been admitted to Johns Hopkins University. (С сожалением сообщаем, вынуждены сообщить…)
to stop
stop doing = совсем прекратить что-то делать. I finally stopped eating at night! (Наконец-то я перестала есть по ночам!)	stop to do = прекратить одно действие, чтобы начать делать что-то другое. He stopped to ask for directions. (Он остановился, чтобы спросить дорогу)
to go on
go on doing = продолжать делать что-то, одно и то же действие. After a break she *went on* talking about her health. (После перерыва она продолжила рассказывать о своём здоровье)	go on to do = продолжать, но переключиться с одного действия на другое. She, first, melted chocolate, added butter and then *went on* to make icing. (Она сначала растопила шоколад, добавила масло и продолжила делать глазурь)
to try
try doing = попробовать что-то сделать, в качестве эксперимента. She tried learning English but gave up after a while. (Она попробовала поучить английский, но бросила через некоторое время).	try to do = пытаться совершить сложное действие, стараться, и прилагать значительные усилия. I tried to work, but couldn’t because of a terrible headache. (Я попытался поработать, но из-за ужасной головной боли я не смог).

Глаголы, которые не меняют значение:

Есть и другие глаголы, которые тоже употребляются и с герундием, и с инфинитивом. Но они смысл значительно не меняют: begin, continue, prefer, start, hate, love, like.

She begins sneezing every time she sees a cat.
She begins to sneeze every time she sees a cat.
(Она начинает чихать каждый раз, когда видит кошку).

После глаголов advise, allow, recommend, encourage, permit тоже можно использовать и герундий, и инфинитив. НО! Если после основного глагола стоит объект (на кого направлено действие), то используем инфинитив:

Mum allowed me to stay overnight at my friend’s place. (Мама разрешила мне заночевать у подруги).

Если объекта нет, то используем герундий:

Mum allowed staying overnight at my friend’s place. (Мама разрешила ночевку у подруги).

Еще несколько моментов:

– После предлогов.

Если после глагола стоит предлог, то мы используем герундий. Это предлоги: for, before, without, by, about, of, from, in.

I’m interested in drawing. – Я интересуюсь рисованием.

⠀– После прилагательных во фразах типа: It is good (important, happy, hard и т.д.) to…

It is nice to see you again. – Радостно видеть тебя снова.

– С вопросительными словами в утверждениях.

I don’t know how to open this door. – Я не знаю, как открыть эту дверь.

– Для выражения цели какого-то действия.

I came here to meet you. – Я пришел сюда, (зачем?) чтобы встретиться с тобой (правда, это уже не дополнение, а обстоятельство).

2. Read the article "Our Human Rights" just below it.

3. Do the exercise at the bottom of the page.

Here is the Story of Human Rights video. You can watch it in your own language at www.youthforhumanrights.org. (Simply click the word "langauge" at the top of their homepage.)

Our Human Rights

The United Nations is an international organization that was established in 1945 to help keep world peace. It was established shortly after the end of World War II.

In 1948 a special United Nations commission, headed by Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, the wife of US President Franklin D. Roosevelt, wrote a special document which stated the rights that all people should have. This document is called the "Universal Declaration of Human Rights."

"Universal" means "of all the people in the world."

A "declaration" is a formal announcement.

"Human rights" are the rights that each person has, simply because he or she is human.

The human rights are there to protect us and help us live in peace. For example, "the right to life" is a human right. Each and every one of us has the right to life, simply because we are human.

Another example is "the right to freedom of thought." We all have the right to believe in what we want to believe, to have a religion, or to change it if we want.

Studying and knowing our human rights is as important today as it was after World War II. This is because when people don't know their natural rights things such as injustice, discrimination, intolerance and slavery can happen.

The more aware people are to the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the closer we get to a peaceful, free and fair world.

Dystopia or anti-utopia, is a speculated community or society that is undesirable or frightening.^[3]^[4] It is often treated as an antonym of utopia. The relationship between utopia and dystopia is in actuality, not one simple opposition, as many utopian elements and components are found in dystopias as well, and vice versa.

Past Tenses
Разница между used to, would, be used to и get used to

Конструкция used to do smth

Конструкция used to в английском языке используется, чтобы рассказать о действии, которое происходило или часто повторялось в прошлом, но на данный момент уже не происходит. При переводе предложений на русский язык обычно добавляют слово «раньше» или «бывало».

I used to have an MP3 player. Now I just listen to music online. — У меня раньше был MP3-плеер. Теперь я просто слушаю музыку онлайн.
I used to believe in the tooth fairy. — Я раньше верил в Зубную фею.
Brian used to steal from the shops. — Брайан раньше воровал в магазинах.

С помощью конструкции used to мы рассказываем о привычках, которые были в прошлом.

Tony used to drink much coffee. — Тони раньше пил много кофе.
I used to bite my fingernails when I was five. — Когда мне было пять, я грыз ногти.

Для описания состояний в прошлом.

Gaby used to be overweight. But now she looks fit. — Раньше у Гэби был лишний вес. Но сейчас она выглядит подтянуто.
Detroit used to be densely populated city. But now a few people live in it. — Детройт раньше былгустонаселенным городом. Но сейчас там мало кто живет.

Вопросительные предложения с used to строятся с помощью вспомогательного глагола did, а в отрицательных предложениях к вспомогательному глаголу did добавляется частица not (did not, didn’t).

Why did you use to collect chocolate wrappers? — Почему ты собирала обертки от шоколадок?
Where did Henry use to go fishing? — Куда Генри ходил рыбачить?

I did not use to sing in the shower. — Раньше я не пел в душе.
Debbie didn’t use to smoke. — Дэбби раньше не курила.

Допускается образование отрицания без вспомогательного глагола did. Такое предложение будет уместно в официальной ситуации.

Our company used not to carry out corporate trainings. — Наша компания раньше не проводилакорпоративных тренингов.

Глагол would

Глагол would, как и конструкция used to, выражает повторяющееся действие в прошлом. Однако would употребляется только в том случае, когда есть привязка к какому-то конкретному времени.

Every time Sarah came, we would play X-box for hours. — Каждый раз, когда приходила Сара, мы часами играли в X-box.
We ~~would~~ used to play X-box for hours with Sarah. — Мы часами играли в X-box вместе с Сарой.

Разница между used to и would заключается еще и в том, что would не используется, если речь идет о привычках или о состоянии в прошлом.

Tony ~~would~~ used to eat too much sweets. — Тони раньше ел слишком много сладкого.
Travis ~~would~~ used to be a polite person a few years ago. — Трэвис был вежливым человеком пару лет назад.

Глагол would добавляет оттенок ностальгии в теплые воспоминания о прошлом.

Every summer I would live in a country house with my grandmother. In the early morning I would gofishing at the lake. After that I would climb the tall old oak near the house. I would sit in the tree andread a book almost all day long. — Каждое лето я жил в домике у своей бабушки. Рано утром яходил рыбачить на озеро. После этого я забирался на большой старый дуб возле дома. Ясидел на дереве и целый день читал книжку.

Чтобы задать вопрос, поставьте глагол would в начало предложения.

Would you play hide-and-seek when you were a kid? — Ты играл в прятки, когда был маленьким?

Конструкции to be used to и to get used to

Конструкция be used to описывает привычку, которая уже сформировалась, а get used to — процесс приобретения привычки. После конструкций be used to и get used to используется глагол с окончанием -ing, существительное или местоимение.

They are used to sleeping outdoors. — Они привыкли спать на улице.
I find it hard to get used to new conditions. — Мне трудно привыкать к новым условиям.

Привычка сформировалась — используем be used to:

I am already used to driving on the left. It was rather hard when I first came to England. — Я ужепривык ездить по левой стороне дороги. Это было довольно сложно, когда я впервые приехал в Англию.
Tony is used to sleeping with the lights on. — Тони привык спать с включенным светом.
We are used to carrying out ambitious projects. — Мы привыкли выполнять амбициозные проекты.

опросительные и отрицательные предложения строятся с помощью глагола to be.

Debora hates going to Chinese restaurants. She isn’t used to eating with chopsticks. — Дебора ненавидит ходить в китайские рестораны. Она не привыкла есть палочками.
Are you used to commuting to work every day? — Ты привык ездить на работу в город?

Если вы хотите рассказать о процессе формирования привычки, используйте конструкцию get used to.

I am getting used to my new flat. — Я привыкаю к своей новой квартире.
Harry has been getting used to Android for so long after using iOS! — Гарри так долго привыкает к Android после iOS!

ля построения отрицательных и вопросительных предложений, используйте вспомогательные глаголы: для Present Simple — do, для Past Simple — did, для Future Simple — will и т. д.

Sam didn’t get used to southern climate. He has moved to Canada. — Сэм не привык к южномуклимату. Он переехал в Канаду.
Kate still can’t walk after receiving an injury. Will she get used to it? — Кейт до сих пор не может ходить после того, как получила травму. Она привыкнет к этому?

Get used to (в прошедшей форме) и be used to (в настоящей форме) взаимозаменяемы, если мы говорим о привычке, которая уже сформировалась.

I got used to wearing this stupid uniform. = I am used to wearing this stupid uniform. — Я привык носить эту дурацкую форму.
Sally works very slowly. But we got used to it. = But we are used to it. — Салли работает очень медленно. Но мы привыкли к этому.

Прочитайте текст с пропусками, обозначенными А22-А28. Эти номера соответствуют заданиям А22-А28, в которых представлены возможные варианты ответов. Вставьте номер 1-4 выбранного вами варианта ответа.

UNDERSTANDING BODY LANGUAGE

Body language makes up 50-100% of a conversation, whether we want it to or not. People don’t always say what they think. Here’s how to interpret those non-verbal clues.

Eye contact is one of the most important A22 of body language. Most of us are comfortable with a few second’s eye contact, but anything longer can seem aggressive or intense.

Equally, if you’re talking to someone who looks away a lot, A23 that they are bored. If someone is on the same wavelength as you, they’ll often adopt the same postures as you.

How Harry Potter saved one small town

Mallaig is far from the prettiest of Highland settlements, even when the weather is fine. Several rows of what could be prewar council houses stretch across the hill beyond the harbour. A mishmash of car parks, jetties and workaday buildings squats close to the railway terminus. When I last stayed in Mallaig, it was known as the biggest herring port in Europe.

Today, the herring have vanished, and yet Mallaig remains a busy place. Ferries come and go and fishing boats land shellfish, which is driven away in lorries to the markets of France and Spain. None of this activity, however, explains the hundreds of people who can be seen roaming Mallaig’s few streets every afternoon between the beginning of May and the end of October, or the presence of so many restaurants. What do explain them are two enthusiasms, one for low fact and the other for high fiction, which are kindled in childhood and among many adults never entirely disappear.

The railway reached Mallaig from Fort William and the south in 1901. It was among the last big lines to be built in Britain, late enough to have its viaducts built of concrete. It traversed one of Europe’s most spectacular and emptiest landscapes, with hardly anything large enough to be called a village along its 40-mile length.

The construction needed a large government subsidy, but the traffic never grew much beyond the two or three trains a day that carried fish boxes and a few dozen travellers to and from the Hebrides. It made little economic sense. Only 60 years after the line opened, it began to be threatened with closure. Few people would have guessed then that its commercial salvation would be owed to a novel and a film, and first of all, to a hobby.

Railways became an amateur pastime as well as a means of transport during the last decades of the 19th century. Then professional men such as vicars and lawyers began to see the large variety of trains and their technical progress as a hobby offering a similar kind of pleasure to philately and butterfly-hunting. By the end of the century they had their own magazine and their own club, the Railway Club, the world’s first society for railway enthusiasts. It was founded in London in 1899 and had its own premises with a library and leather armchairs. It was from these elite beginnings that the 20th century’s great cult of trainspotting spread, reinforcing a more general fondness for steam locomotives that many people had without knowing quite why. So a sense of loss ran through Britain when, in the 1960s, it became clear that their day was nearly done.

Hundreds of them were saved from the scrapyards and restored to working order; dozens of branch lines repaired and reopened so that in the holidays Britain could be charmed by how it once was. It’s hard to think that anywhere in the world has seen a more popular or successful preservation movement, or at least one run and largely funded by volunteers. Out of this business grew the West Coast Railway Company, which hires out engines, coaches and crew for steam excursions.

A film producer looking to shoot a fantastical train in a dramatic location would naturally turn to such a company, and so in three Harry Potter films the train to Hogwarts is seen crossing Glenfinnan’s viaduct.

Today, the Jacobite Express fills with Potter fans from all parts of the globe and always stops for a photo opportunity at Glenfinnan, which is where the real Bonnie Prince Charlie really raised his standard in '45 and marked as such by a real memorial. All of which reality is cast into shadow by the film of a modern fairytale.

Which adjective could best describe Mallaig as presented by the author?

	1)	Derelict.
	2)	Beautiful.
	3)	Abandoned.
	4)	Unsightly.

Read the extract aloud, record (What's up, Viber) - deadline Monday 25.05

There is an established stereotype among foreigners that Russia is a country of eternal frost and snow-covered streets. This is all because for many years foreigners have been frightened by the phrase "Russian winter". But it's not all that simple, Russia is a vast country and the weather in different areas can be completely different. Russia consists of several continental zones. For example, in the north winters are long and harsh, in some places there is lots of snow and temperatures fall below -40 degrees Celsius . These winters are normal, not only in the northern regions of the country but even in the Far East. Summers in these areas don't even see three warm months out of the year.

The closer you get to the south the warmer the Russian climate gets. In the central part of the country summer becomes warm--even hot--which makes it possible for a good harvest of grain, fruit and vegetables. Winters here are not extremely cold and the average winter temperature does not fall below -15 degrees Celsius. By the way, in Russia the real warmth does not start until the middle of April. And only at the end of May does everything start to bloom and people go without their warm clothing.

Разница между remind, remember, recall, recollect, memorize

Глаголы remind, remember, recall, recollect, memorise так или иначе связаны с запоминанием информации.

1. REMEMBER

Слово remember встречается чаще других синонимов.

По данным Cambridge Dictionary, глагол remember означает «возможность восстановить или хранить в своей памяти какую-либо информацию».

Remember употребляется, когда нужно:

1. сказать о том, что вы помните какое-то действие — to remember doing smth

I remember walking into the pub. — Я помню, как заходил в бар.

уточнить, что помните какой-то факт — to remember (that)

I remember that I ordered a cup of tea. — Я помню, что я заказал чашку чая.

2. сказать, что вы точно что-то помните — to remember rightly/correctly

It was August, 2nd, if I remember correctly. — Это было 2 августа, если я правильно помню.

3. рассказать о точных, ярких воспоминаниях — clearly/vividly/distinctly remember или не очень четких — vaguely/dimly remember

I clearly remember whiskey was Johnny Walker. — Я четко помню, виски был Джонни Уокер.

I dimly remember what was happening next. — Я с трудом помню, что происходило дальше.

4. рассказать о деталях какого-то воспоминания — to remember when/where/how

I even remember when I got home! — Я даже помню, когда я пришел домой.

сказать о чем-то, что вы обещали сделать, попросить кого-то не забыть о чем-то — to remember to do something

Moreover, I remembered to lock the front door. — Более того, я не забыл закрыть входную дверь.

Здесь важно подчеркнуть, что после глагола remember может стоять как инфинитив (глагол в начальной форме), так и герундий (глагол с окончанием -ing).

Смысл сказанного будет зависеть от формы глагола, например:

I remember to visit my grandmother. — Я помню, что нужно навестить бабушку.

I remember visiting my grandmother. — Я помню, как навещал бабушку.

В первом предложении мы говорим о том, что нужно не забыть выполнить действие в будущем, а во втором примере мы вспоминаем, как уже выполнили действие.

2. REMIND

Глагол remind переводится как «напоминать».

Отличие remind от remember заключается в том, что remind означает «побудить кого-то вспомнить информацию», а remember — «помнить какую-либо информацию».

Рассмотрим наиболее популярные случаи употребления глагола remind:

1. напомнить кому-то сделать что-то — to remind someone to do something, to remind (somebody) that, to remind somebody about something

My mom always reminds me to put my hat on. — Моя мама постоянно напоминает мне надевать шапку.

Dustin reminded me that I forgot my laptop at his house. — Дастин напомнил мне, что я забыл свой ноутбук у него дома.

Can you remind me about your plans for the weekend? — Можешь напомнить мне о своих планах на выходные?

2. когда одна ситуация/предмет/человек напоминают другую ситуацию/предмет/человека — to remind somebody of, to remind someone what/when/where/how

My colleague reminds me of my classmate. — Мой коллега напоминает мне моего одноклассника.

Mary reminded me how I acted at the restaurant. — Мэри напомнила мне, как я вел себя в ресторане

3. RECALL / RECOLLECT

Recall означает «восстанавливать в памяти какие-либо события или факты, чтобы этим поделиться».

I can still recall how Margareth entered the room. — Я до сих пор помню, как Маргарет зашла в комнату.

Recall используется:

1. когда что-то вызывает определенную ассоциацию

This building recalls the baroque style. — Это здание напоминает стиль барокко.

2. когда какие-то события или предметы вызывают определенные воспоминания

This song recalls that wonderful evening. — Эта песня напоминает мне тот чудесный вечер.

Recollect и recall — синонимичные слова, но стоит учесть, что recollect чаще используется в формальной беседе.

I can hardly recollect the events of that evening. — Я с трудом могу восстановить в памяти события того вечера.

MEMORIZE

Memorize переводится как «запоминать», «заучивать».

Этот глагол предполагает проделывание определенных усилий для запоминания чего-либо наизусть.

Sally memorized all her coworkers’ names just in a week! — Салли запомнила имена всех своих коллег только через неделю!

A Missing Street

Mark had worked in the Сity Hall for more than twenty years. He registered the files with the names of all the streets in Montreal. Mark lived near the City Hall and rarely walked round the city, but he knew the location of the streets very well. He knew Montreal better than the policemen or taxi drivers.

His job was pretty dull and monotonous, but Mark preferred the office to his flat in Oven Street anyway. His neighbours were noisy and unpleasant. Every time he tried to explain the importance of his work, they looked down on him as a low-level clerk. They failed to understand that they got their mail only because Oven Street had its postal index in one of the files in the City Hall.

Once Mark’s peaceful life was disturbed. He opened one of the drawers in his study and found an index card stuck at the back. He drew it out carefully. Green Bottle Street it said. Mark stared at it in wonder. He could not remember any street with that name. He searched all the files but could not find anything. It was not on the list.

Mark examined the card once more. There was no mistake. The paper was old and yellow. The last inspection date marked on the card was more than fifteen years before. Mark was frozen with horror. It was a lost, forgotten street! For so many years it had existed a mile away from the Hall, and nobody knew about it.

Deep in his heart, Mark sometimes had thought of such a possibility. There were so many winding streets in the city that it looked like a labyrinth. But with all these files it simply could not happen. Vaguely he remembered that at the beginning of his career his office had moved to another floor and all the cards were made afresh. Maybe at that time one of the cards had got stuck in the drawer.

Mark slept badly that night. In the morning he put the card in his pocket and went looking for Green Bottle Street. Though he knew its location, he passed it twice. Finally, he came up to a wooden door, behind which a narrow street started. He opened the door and stepped inside. Green Bottle Street lay before him.

It was named after its shape. On either side of the street there were three well-kept houses with nice, small gardens in front. At the end of the street there was a brick wall, which separated it from the rest of the world. Everything there was quiet and safe. An old woman was watering roses in one of the gardens.

She told Mark that they used to pay taxes and get the mail until they were forgotten. Then they built a wooden door with a lock to protect their tiny peaceful area from passers-by and officials. They helped people who got tired of the busy city and wanted to take a break for a while. Some rooms in the houses were for rent.

Mark understood that the yellow card he had found in the drawer could break people’s peaceful but fragile world. He sighed and tore the card to pieces. For all he cared, Green Bottle Street could remain lost forever.

Mark’s responsibility was to invent names for the city’s streets.

Human evolution is a lengthy process of change by which people originated from their apelike
ancestors. The traits that we today recognize as human evolved over a period of approximately
six million years. One of the earliest human traits was the ability to walk on two legs. This ability
evolved some four million years ago. A large and complex brain, the ability to use tools and the
capacity for language have developed more recently. Some studies lead us to believe that humans
have some relationship to another group of primate species, the apes. Scientists say that humans
and the great apes of Africa — chimpanzees and gorillas — share a common ancestor who lived
between 8 and 6 million years ago. However, researchers do not all agree about how these
species are related to the modern human. Genetic research into this relationship has produced
some controversial results and more discoveries, perhaps sensational ones, are to be expected.

Imagine that you are preparing a project with your friend. You have found some interesting material for the presentation and you want to read this text to your friend. You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, then be ready to read it out aloud. You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it.

Islands that appear and disappear are certainly part of the world's legends. But in 1963, with the aid of cameras and scientific observers, some of those legends were given a solid basis of fact. For example, on November 13, 1963, a kind of miracle occured. An island was born.

On that day a fishing boat sailed into waters that were boiling and rolling and foul with a strong smell. The world still had a hard time believing the miracle that was to occur. It was the first time that scientists were to witness the unexpected birth of an underwater island.

First the engineer, then the captain, and at last the cook were aware of awful smell and the peculiar roll of the sea. But it was the cook who first noticed the smoke. He thought there was a ship in trouble somewhere on the seas.

•Neither Roman spectators calling for the death of a gladiator, nor Roman Emperors authorizing one, ever gave a thumbs down. In fact, the Romans didn’t use a thumbs down sign at all. If death was desired, the thumb was stuck up – like a drawn sword. For a loser’s life to be spared, the thumb was tucked away inside the closed fist – as with a sheathed weapon. If further proof were needed, in 1997 a Roman medallion of the second or third century AD was discovered in southern France. It shows two gladiators at the end of a battle and a referee pressing his thumb against a closed fist. The inscription reads: Those standing should be released.

•This has been problematic in Iraq, where American soldiers are unsure whether locals are welcoming them or about to blow them up. Desmond Morris traces the positive connotations of the thumbs up in Britain to the Middle Ages, where it was used to close business deals. It found a new lease of life in World War Two when US airforce pilots adopted it as a signal to ground crews before take-off.

Nicotine is colourless. In theory, cigarettes can be made out of potato or tomato leaves. Some programmes designed to help people stop smoking also advise giving up potatoes and tomatoes in order to eliminate low-level nicotine intake completely. In small doses, the nicotine compound that is present in all these plants produces feelings of pleasure. That’s why tobacco is more addictive than either cocaine or heroin. But it’s also why we sometimes find ourselves craving chips or pizza.

In large doses, however, nicotine is as deadly as the nightshade whose relative it is. The nicotine in a single cigarette, if taken direct into the bloodstream, would be fatal. Eating one cigarette could make you severely ill. Swallowing a packet of ten would definitely kill you. In 1976, the Department of Health urged pregnant mothers to wear rubber gloves when peeling potatoes. More than a kilogram of potatoes eaten at a single sitting would be certain death.

For crocodiles an ordinary rubber band should be sufficient for you to make your escape. The muscles that close the jaws of a crocodile or alligator are strong. They have the same downward force of a truck falling off a cliff. But the muscles that open their jaws are weak enough for you to hold their mouths shut with one hand. The technical difference between alligators and crocodiles is that crocs have a longer, narrower snout, eyes further forward.

Also, some crocodiles live in salty water. Alligators generally live in fresh water. Crocodile means lizard. Neither animal cries as it savages you to death. Crocodile tears are a myth from medieval times. The origin of the legend may be in the proximity of the throat to the glands which lubricate the eye. These can cause the eye to water a little from the effort of swallowing something large or reluctant. They can’t smile either: crocodiles and alligators have no lips.

1. Despite its status as a proverbial fact, a goldfish’s memory isn’t a few seconds long. Research demonstrated beyond reasonable doubt that goldfish have a memory-span of at least three months and can distinguish between different shapes, colours and sounds. They were trained to push a lever to earn a food reward; when the lever was fixed to work only for an hour a day, the fish soon learned to activate it at the correct time. A number of similar studies have shown that farmed fish can easily be trained to feed at particular times and places in response to an audible signal.

Goldfish don’t swim into the side of the bowl, not because they can see it, but because they are using a pressure-sensing system called the lateral line. Certain species of blind cave fish are able to navigate perfectly well in their lightless environment by using their lateral line system alone.

2. Is French toast from France? Yes and no. Dipping bread in eggs and frying it is a pretty universal solution to making stale bread go further. The French certainly had a medieval version and this later became a name that has been enthusiastically adopted for the de luxe versions. The earliest recorded recipe for the dish occurs in the work of the Roman cook in the first century AD. In his book The Art of Cooking, he writes, rather casually, that it’s just another sweet dish.

However, the dish was also sometimes referred to as ‘Poor Knights of Windsor’. One theory offered in explanation is that the most expensive part of a medieval banquet was dessert – spices and nuts were costly imports. Although titled, not all knights were rich, so a dish of fried eggy-bread served with jam or honey would have fulfilled the requirements of etiquette without breaking the bank.

Read the texts, think of the headings which will suit them best, write them down (use the key words):

A.	Diwali is a five-day festival that is celebrated in October or November, depending on the cycle of the moon. It represents the start of the Hindu New Year and honors the victory of good over evil, and brightness over darkness. It also marks the start of winter. Diwali is actually celebrated in honor of Lord Rama and his wife Sita. One of the best places to experience Diwali is in the "pink city" of Jaipur, in Rajasthan. Each year there’s a competition for the best decorated and most brilliantly lit up market that attracts visitors from all over India.
B.	The Blossom Kite Festival, previously named the Smithsonian Kite Festival, is an annual event that is traditionally a part of the festivities at the National Cherry Blossom Festival on the National Mall in Washington, DC. Kite enthusiasts show off their stunt skills and compete for awards in over 36 categories including aerodynamics and beauty. The Kite Festival is one of the most popular annual events in Washington, DC and features kite fliers from across the U.S. and the world.
C.	The annual Ostrich Festival has been recognized as one of the "Top 10 Unique Festivals in the United States" with its lanky ostriches, multiple entertainment bands and many special gift and food vendors. It is truly a unique festival, and suitable for the entire family. The Festival usually holds Ostrich Races, an Exotic Zoo, Pig Races, a Sea Lion Show, a Hot Rod Show, Amateur Boxing and a Thrill Circus.
D.	Iceland's Viking Festival takes place in mid-June every year and lasts 6 days, no matter what the weather in Iceland may be. It's one of the most popular annual events in Iceland where you can see Viking-style costumes, musical instruments, jewelry and crafts at the Viking Village. Visitors at the Viking Festival see sword fighting by professional Vikings and demonstrations of marksmanship with bows and muscle power. They can listen to Viking songs and lectures at the festival, or grab a bite at the Viking Restaurant nearby.
E.	Dragon Boat Festival is one of the major holidays in Chinese culture. This summer festival was originally a time to ward off bad spirits, but now it is a celebration of the life of Qu Yuan, who was a Chinese poet of ancient period. Dragon boat festival has been an important holiday for centuries for Chinese culture, but in recent years dragon boat racing has become an international sport.
F.	The Mangalica Festival is held in early February at Vajdahunyad Castle in Budapest. It offers the opportunity to experience Hungarian food, music, and other aspects of Hungarian culture. The festival is named for a furry pig indigenous to the region of Hungary and the Balkans. A mangalica is a breed of pig recognizable by its curly hair and known for its fatty flesh. Sausage, cheese and other dishes made with pork can be sampled at the festival.
G.	Hanami is an important Japanese custom and is held all over Japan in spring. Hanami literally means "viewing flowers", but now it is a cherry blossom viewing. The origin of hanami dates back to more than one thousand years ago when aristocrats enjoyed looking at beautiful cherry blossoms and wrote poems. Nowadays, people in Japan have fun viewing cherry blossoms, drinking and eating. People bring home-cooked meals, do BBQ, or buy take-out food for hanami.

Pros and Cons of Home Education

What is Homeschooling?

In the simplest of terms, homeschooling is simply schooling your children at home. Homeschooling has become quite the progressive movement in recent years with more and more parents choosing to homeschool instead of sending their children to public school. There are a number of reasons why a parent might choose to homeschool their child – here are a few:

The family might have different religious beliefs that those taught (or not taught) in public school. Homeschooling allows you to choose whether to incorporate religion or not.
Homeschool might offer more specialized educational attention for special needs children.
Parents may have different educational philosophies than public school administrators and teachers. With homeschool, you choose what philosophies to follow.
Children may progress faster in a homeschool setting than in public school.
Schooling at home may promote a closer familiar relationship – many parents find that they enjoy spending extra time with their kids in homeschool.
Public school options in the area may not offer the preferred degree of educational quality.
Homeschool can save time since you don’t have to transport your children to and from school every day. The school day can actually be shortened for children.

The homeschool movement really started to gain speed in the 1970s when authors like Raymond Moore and John Holt began writing about educational reform. Homeschooling as a new option in alternative education at the time but, according to the National Home Education Research Institute, there are now more than 2 million children being homeschooled in the United States each year. And that number increases by as much as 7% to 15% each year.

The Pros and Cons of Homeschooling Your Kids

Homeschooling is legal in all fifty states, but there are some requirements you have to meet. Parents are required to choose or create an educational curriculum that meets certain educational standards set forth by the state. As long as those standards are met, however, parents have more educational liberty with homeschooling than with public school. Students may have more opportunities to choose what they learn with homeschooling, and they can learn at their own pace without having to keep up with more advanced students. Homeschool gives parents the opportunity to incorporate religion into their child’s education and it may promote a closer family atmosphere as well.

One of the major downsides of homeschooling is that it takes a lot of time to plan and to implement educational strategies. In most families, one parent needs to make homeschooling the children their full-time concern – it can be very challenging for a single parent to succeed with homeschool. Because one parent may not be able to work, homeschool may put a financial strain on the family finances. Homeschooled children may also have more limited access to extracurricular activities including sports, and they may not have the same level of social interaction as they would in public school. There are, of course, workarounds for these things but they are still challenges associated with homeschool.

The Benefits of Public School vs. Homeschool

Now that you know a little more about homeschool and its associated pros and cons, you may be wondering how public school stacks up. Each child is an individual with individual needs, so the public school may or may not be the best option. However, the only way you’ll know this to be the case is to take time to learn about the potential benefits of public school versus homeschool. Here are some of the top benefits you should consider:

Public school has a built-in structure. Children, particularly young children, thrive on routine and they require a lot of attention and care. If you are trying to homeschool your children while also being a stay-at-home mom, you may find it more challenging than you imagine.
Many public schools offer sports and elective options like art and music – these programs may not be available to homeschool students.
A public school teaches children a certain degree of independence. Depending on the grade, children need to keep track of their own class schedules, find their way from one class to another, purchase their own lunch, and make it to and from the bus every day.
Teachers are public schools are required to carry education degrees and they may have more experience working with and teaching children. Teaching a child is different from parenting a child and many parents struggle to do both.
Public school is typically cheaper than homeschool. You could spend $1,000 or more on a homeschool curriculum alone, not to mention supplies. For a public school, you have to buy supplies once or twice a year and you can pack your child’s lunch to save money.
Children who attend public school have more opportunities for social interaction than many homeschool students. There are homeschool co-ops that can be helpful, but a public school has built-in social benefits.
Sending your children to public school frees you up to just be a parent. Doing double-duty as both teacher and parent can be both grueling and frustrating at times – especially if you have other non-school-age children to care for.
Public school gives you and your child some much-needed time apart which helps to foster your child’s independence and gives you a break as well. There is no harm in needing a break from your kids once in a while.
In addition to the benefits listed above, there are some downsides to public school. For example, public school has a more rigorous and regimented schedule than most homeschool programs and students may not have the same degree of freedom and flexibility to customize their education. But unless you can fully commit yourself to creating and implementing a strong homeschool curriculum, your child may be better off in public school anyway.

While there are many benefits of private school versus homeschool, every situation is different. A public school could very well be the best choice for your child while homeschool is a better option for another child. You may even find that one of your children does better in one environment and another child does better in a separate environment. Your job as a parent is to provide for your child’s needs to the best of your ability. This often means making compromises or making the best of a bad situation. As long as you keep your child’s best interests in mind, you will make the right choice.

Attending public school comes with its own challenges, but homeschool is not always the better option. Before you decide to homeschool your child, take the time to thoroughly consider your options and explore them from all angles. You may just find that public school is a better option than you previously realized – it is up to you to make the most of it.

Придаточные предложения следствия

Есть много способов показать результат в речи, и один из них – это использование придаточных предложений. Придаточные предложения следствия помогают нам сообщить о результате какого-либо действия или о последствиях какой-либо ситуации. Такие предложения вводятся при помощи союзов so,so…that (для прилагательных и наречий), such…that (для существительных)

Пример:

Nina had a stomach ache so she went to the doctor. – У Нины болел живот, поэтому она пошла к доктору.

There was so much soup that John wasn’t able to eat it. – Супа было так много, что Джон не мог его съесть.

Особенности употребления конструкции such…that

Рассмотрим ситуации, в которых используется конструкция such…that.

Первая схема описывает оборот с исчисляемыми существительными в единственном числе:

Схема 1.

Пример:

It was such a beautiful dress that I bought it. – Платье было такое красивое, что я его купила.

Вторая схема описывает оборот с исчисляемыми существительными во множественном числе либо неисчисляемыми существительными:

Схема 2.

Пример:

They were such clever people that it was pleasant to speak to them. – Они были такими умными, что с ними было приятно поговорить.

It was such nice weather that we went to the countryside. – Погода была такая хорошая, что мы поехали за город.

Обратите внимание, что когда мы используем существительное во множественном числе или неисчисляемое существительное, артикль не используется

Особенности употребления конструкции so…that

В придаточных предложениях следствия также употребляется конструкция so…that. Эту конструкцию очень часто сопровождают следующие оценочные местоимения (рис. 3):

much
many
few
little

Рассмотрим схему:

Схема 3.

Пример:

There was so much water in the bucket that the boy couldn’t carry it alone. – В ведре было так много воды, что мальчик не мог один его унести.

There was so little food in the fridge that I still feel hungry. – В холодильнике было так мало еды, что я все еще голодна.

Не забывайте, чтоmuch иlittle употребляются с неисчисляемыми существительными, а many и few – с исчисляемыми (см. схему 4).

Схема 4.

Пример:

We had so many books at home that mother decided to take some of them to the library. – Дома было так много книг, что мама решила отнести некоторые из них в библиотеку.

I have so few T-shirts that I need to buy some. – У меня так мало футболок, что мне нужно купить несколько.

I. Составьте из двух предложений одно, используя the Clause of Result

The book was dull. I couldn’t read it to the end.
There was much work. Mary didn’t know where to begin.
The water in the sea was cold. The children didn’t want to swim.
I had little money. I couldn’t buy a new dress.

Придаточные предложения причины – это такие предложения, которые помогают объяснить, почему происходят те или иные события или совершаются те или иные действия. Одним словом, такие предложения отвечают на вопрос почему

Особенности употребления союзов because и as

Придаточные предложения причины присоединяются к главному предложению при помощи союзов :

as
since
because
because of
due to

Пример:

Nina went to the seaside in summer because she wanted to swim in the sea. – Нина поехала на побережье летом, потому что хотела искупаться в море.

Второе предложение начинается с because и поясняет главное предложение.

As Mike didn’t want to be late for school he caught the bus. – Так как Майк не хотел опоздать в школу, он сел на автобус.

Придаточное предложение (As Mike didn’t want to be late for school) присоединяется к главному при помощи союза as и поясняет его.

Особенности употребления союзов because of и due to

Союзы because of и due to обычно стоят перед существительным.

Пример:

He didn’t pass his exam because of illness. – Он не сдал экзамен из-за болезни.
She couldn’t make a report due to the problems with computer. – Она не могла сделать доклад из-за проблем с компьютером.

После союзов because of и due to часто употребляется выражение the fact that, после которого следует придаточное выражение.

Пример:

We couldn’t get to London due to the fact that all the flights were delayed because of the weather. – Мы не могли попасть в Лондон из-за того, что все рейсы были отложены из-за погодных условий.

Упражнения

Чтобы лучше понять и усвоить особенности употребления придаточных предложений причины, необходимо выполнить следующее упражнение.

Сделайте из двух предложений одно, используя the Clause of reason
Nick was good at swimming. He won the first prize at camp competition.
The flight was delayed. There was storm.
Ann bought a car. She had a lot of money.
Bob spent two weeks at the hospital. He had broken his leg.

Придаточные предложения цели – это такие предложения, которые отвечают на вопрос “Why?” («Зачем?») (рис. 1), то есть они используются, когда нужно сказать, с какой целью совершается действие, описанное в главном предложении. На русский язык переводятся союзом чтобы, а отрицательные предложения – чтобы не.

Зачем?

Пример:

You study English every day in order to speak it fluently. – Вы изучаете английский язык каждый день, чтобы свободно на нем говорить.

You do your morning exercises to be healthy. – Вы делаете зарядку утром, чтобы быть здоровыми.

You go outside with your friends so as to have fun. – Вы идете гулять со своими друзьями, чтобы развлечься.

You buy new clothing so that you can look nice. – Вы покупаете новую одежду, чтобы хорошо выглядеть.

Особенности употребления союзов in order to, so as to и конструкции to + infinitive

Можно заметить, что в приведенных примерах главное и придаточное предложения соединены следующими союзами :

in order to
so as to
so that
to + (infinitive)

Слова in order to, so as to и to + infinitive используются, когда в главном и придаточном предложениях одно и то же подлежащее. В разговорном английском конструкция to + infinitive является более употребительной, в то время как in order to и so as to звучат официальнее.

Пример:

Tom learns Chinese to work in China. – Том изучает китайский, чтобы работать в Китае.

You can take this medicine in order to feel better. – Вы можете принять это лекарство, чтобы чувствовать себя лучше.

The pupils must learn this poem by heart so as to get an excellent mark. – Ученики должны выучить это стихотворение наизусть, чтобы получить отличную оценку.

Для того чтобы образовать отрицание в придаточных предложениях цели, необходимо добавить отрицательную частицу not перед to (в таких союзах как in order to и so as to), чтобы получилось: in order not to/ so as not to. Обратите внимание, что форма not to do не используется!

Пример:

Take your umbrella in order not to get wet. – Возьми зонт, чтобы не промокнуть.

You have to be hurry so as not to be late. – Тебе нужно поторопиться, чтобы не опоздать.

Особенности употребления союза so that

Как уже было сказано, придаточные предложения цели могут также использоваться с союзом so that. Этот союз используется, когда подлежащее в главном предложении отличается от подлежащего в придаточном предложении.

Обратите внимание, что so that часто используется с модальными глаголами can/could/will/would.

Пример:

Tim gave his girlfriend red roses so that she would forgive him. – Тим подарил своей девушке красные розы, чтобы она простила его.

Dan gave his sister some money so that she could buy a new dress. – Дэн дал своей сестре немного денег, чтобы она купила себе новое платье.

Когда мы используем настоящее (thePresent Tense) и будущее (theFutureTense) времена в главном предложении, мы используем so that + can/will в придаточном предложении.

Пример:

I have given Alice a book so that she can be ready for the lesson. – Я дал Алисе книгу, чтобы она была готова к уроку.

He will study hard so that his teacher will give him a good mark. – Он будет упорно трудиться, чтобы учитель поставил ему хорошую оценку.

Если же в главном предложении используется прошедшее время (the Past Tense), мы используем so that + could/would в придаточном предложении.

Пример:

Mother woke up her children early so that they could be in time. – Мама разбудила детей рано, чтобы они успели вовремя.

He bought some tickets so that they would go to the cinema. – Он купил несколько билетов, чтобы они пошли в кино.

Когда придаточное предложение цели отрицательное, мы используем so that +can’t/couldn’t/won’t/wouldn’t.

Пример:

They were whispering so that their neighbours couldn’t hear their conversation. – Они шептались, чтобы их соседи не могли слышать их разговор.

We keep our food in the fridge so that it won’t go bad. – Мы держим нашу еду в холодильнике, чтобы она не испортилась.

The taxi driver hurried so that she wouldn’t be late. – Таксист спешил, чтобы она не опоздала.

More ways to express purpose

Есть еще несколько способов выразить цель:

For + Noun – expressing individual purpose

Пример:

I came here for a talk with you. – Я пришел сюда, чтобы поговорить с тобой.

I decided I would save up for a new computer. – Я решил, что буду копить на новый

компьютер.

For + Gerund – describing the function of an object

Пример:

They use this tool for digging. – Они используют этот инструмент, чтобы копать.

I bought it foropening bottles. – Я купил это, чтобы открывать бутылки.

Упражнения

You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, then be ready to read it out aloud. You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it.

A hobby is an activity you enjoy doing, it is something of your choice, something unique to your taste and talent. A hobby can improve our well-being; it can give more meaning to our life. Just as physical exercise is important for the body, relaxation of the mind is also essential. In fact, studies reveal that people who cultivate themselves through such activities are less likely to suffer from anxieties, depression and other negative feelings. A hobby is the easiest way to restore your balance whenever you are over-worked or stressed. Since it is an activity of your choosing, it will always give you pleasure and help you to relax. Even if you indulge in your hobby for a short period of time, you still can feel the difference in your energy level and spirit. When you have a hobby, you will always find time for it.
