The Cold War was a long period of tension and rivalry between the United States and its friends, and the Soviet Union (also known as the USSR) and its friends. It lasted from the end of World War II until the Soviet Union broke apart. It was called "Cold" because the US and the USSR never fought each other directly. Instead, they supported different sides in smaller wars around the world, called proxy wars.

Two Sides: East and West

NATO states (blue) and Warsaw Pact states (red)

During the Cold War, the world was largely divided into two main groups. On one side was the Western Bloc, led by the United States. This group believed in capitalism and democracy. Many of these countries joined an alliance called NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) in 1949. Important members included the US, United Kingdom, France, West Germany, and Canada. Other friends of the Western Bloc were Japan, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand.

On the other side was the Eastern Bloc, led by the Soviet Union (USSR). This group believed in communism. Many of these countries formed an alliance called the Warsaw Pact in 1955. Key members included the USSR, East Germany, Poland, and Hungary. Other allies of the Eastern Bloc included Cuba, North Korea, and Vietnam.

Politics

Точное значение politics – политика. Именно в этом контексте слово употребляется всегда. Его применяют для разговоров об управлении государством. Несмотря на окончание -s, существительное в единственном числе и употребляется с соответственной формой глагола.

Примеры употребления:

I plan to make a career in politics. Я планирую делать карьеру в политике.

He thinks he is an expert at politics. Он думает, что является экспертом в политике.

Policy

Слово часто переводится на русский язык как «политика», но оно означает план действий, некие правила и традиции в определенной сфере. Например, слово policy может применяться в контексте «политика компании», это означает свод правил, которых придерживается организация.

Примеры употребления:

The bank’s policy is not to open personal information about clients. Политика банка запрещает раскрывать персональные данные клиентов.

I do not agree with company’s policy. Я не согласен с политикой (правилами) компании.

В английском языке есть несколько слов, которые часто вызывают путаницу из-за схожих значений. Некоторые из них — join, unite, pool и combine. Все эти глаголы в той или иной степени означают "объединять", но каждый из них имеет свою уникальную нюансировку и использование в контексте. Давайте подробнее разберёмся, в чем их отличия и как правильно их использовать.

1. Join (присоединяться)

Join используется, когда кто-то становится частью группы, организации или мероприятия. Этот глагол часто подразумевает активное участие или вхождение в состав чего-то существующего. Например, когда кто-то присоединяется к команде, клубу или мероприятию, он становится частью уже существующей структуры или группы.

• Пример: "He joined the chess club last week" (Он присоединился к шахматному клубу на прошлой неделе).
• Пример: "Would you like to join us for dinner?" (Ты хочешь присоединиться к нам на ужин?)

В этом случае слово join подразумевает присоединение к уже существующему коллективу или деятельности.

2. Unite (объединяться)

Unite означает объединение нескольких людей, групп или организаций ради достижения общей цели или противостояния общей проблеме. Этот глагол часто имеет эмоциональную или идеологическую окраску и указывает на более тесное и целенаправленное объединение.

• Пример: "The community united to support the local school" (Сообщество объединилось, чтобы поддержать местную школу).
• Пример: "They united their efforts to save the endangered species" (Они объединили свои усилия, чтобы спасти исчезающий вид).

Unite часто используется, когда речь идет о более глубоком уровне взаимодействия и сотрудничества, где важна общая цель или ценности.

3. Pool (объединять)

Pool относится к объединению ресурсов или усилий для их более эффективного использования. Этот глагол часто используется в контексте совместных действий, где ресурсы нескольких сторон объединяются для достижения общей выгоды или цели.

• Пример: "The neighbors pooled their resources to build a new playground" (Соседи объединили свои ресурсы, чтобы построить новую детскую площадку).
• Пример: "Scientists pooled their knowledge to solve the complex problem" (Ученые объединили свои знания, чтобы решить сложную проблему).

Когда используется pool, акцент делается на совместном использовании ресурсов, будь то деньги, знания или усилия, чтобы добиться большего эффекта.

4. Combine (комбинировать)

Combine означает смешивание или объединение нескольких элементов для создания чего-то нового. Этот глагол часто используется, когда речь идет о создании нового целого из отдельных частей, будь то ингредиенты в рецепте, идеи в проекте или технологии в изобретении.

• Пример: "She combined two ingredients to make a new sauce" (Она скомбинировала два ингредиента, чтобы сделать новый соус).
• Пример: "The company combined traditional methods with modern technology to create a unique product" (Компания объединила традиционные методы с современными технологиями для создания уникального продукта).

Слово combine акцентирует внимание на процессе соединения разных частей для формирования нового целого.

ECONOMIC

прилагательное со значением «имеющий отношение к экономике», то есть экономический

The economic growth is very slow. — экономический рост очень медленный.

ECONOMICAL

прилагательное имеет значение «экономный, экономичный», то есть такой, который не требует большого количества каких-либо ресурсов для нормального функционирования

That placement of furniture exhibits a very economical use of space. — Такое размещение мебели демонстрирует очень экономичное использование пространства.

Recycling is a technology that helps protect the environment and cut down on usage of raw materials. The steel, paper and glass industries recycle a lot. The largest recycler is the steel industry. It recovers more than 70 per cent of its original materials. For example, since 1988 they have produced the majority of new metal cans from old ones. Metal parts for cars and planes are other examples of recycling steel. Fragments of waste glass are widely used in construction. For producing writing paper and pens, used packing boxes are an ideal material. They are cheap and easy to recycle. Nowadays more and more recycling centres are appearing in our towns and cities.

Nowadays people can’t imagine their kitchen without a refrigerator. The first refrigerators appeared at the end of the 18th century. They looked different: they were just iceboxes. The refrigerators of the past were just wooden boxes, sometimes lined inside with metal. People put ice into the box and then placed the food inside to keep it cool. The refrigerator, similar to the one that we have now, was produced by General Electric in 1911, in France. It was very expensive. In those days, with the same money you could buy two cars. Today, in developed countries almost every family has enough money to buy a refrigerator for their kitchen. It’s hard to imagine how difficult and uncomfortable our lives would be without a refrigerator.

Let's read and speak about your family tree:


Genealogy 

Genealogy is the exploration of a family’s background over a long period of time.   The people who do this are called genealogists.  There are professional genealogists who help people do this for a fee.  Many genealogists are hobbyists who also trace their own family’s history.   This takes a long time and usually involves plenty of research.

Genealogists might access government or company archives to find out more information about ancestors.  Birth certificates, marriage licenses, and adoption records can show when events happened in the family.  Genealogists might also examine military service forms, criminal records, and newspaper articles to find details about a person’s life.  A government census can also give clues about a family’s history.

Current technology also plays an important part in genealogy work.  Genealogists commonly use special software that can store huge amounts of information about family histories.  It can display different graphics that show various relationships, such as national origin, religion, and birth order.  This can help genealogists understand better where a family comes from and how people in the family were related.      It can also provoke some questions about changes in a family.  Why, for example, would a family’s religion suddenly alterover the course of a generation?  This would strongly hint that a major event occurred in the family.  What was the event?  These kinds of questions create more questions and genealogists are always working to find the answers.

Remember that you will not have more than 2 minutes for reading aloud. Wombats are exotic animals that only live in Australia. They have become an unofficial symbol of the country. In 1974 a wombat appeared on an Australian stamp for the first time. Since then it has been regularly used on different Australian stamps and coins. Wombats look like little bears and prefer grass to meat. They also love eating berries, plant roots and mushrooms. Like camels, wombats drink little water because there is enough water in fresh grass. Wombats spend most of their life in holes under the ground. With their strong arms and long nails they are able to dig very long and complex tunnels. Fortunately, wombats have few enemies in the animal world. Most wombats live around 15 years.    151597

It describes a natural process that can be dangerous for people and their homes. Most of the huge waves appear after earthquakes. Most waves are born in the Indian and the Pacific Oceans where volcanoes are active. The mass of water rises from the bottom of the ocean and moves to the shore. It moves at a speed of a plane and can be up to 40 meters high. The wave is very powerful and dangerous. In 2004, a tsunami happened in the Indian Ocean. It was one of most terrible natural disasters in history. It hit 14 countries bordering the Indian Ocean. Thousands of people were killed or went missing.

 Studies of the atmosphere first received technical support in 1912. Equipment to measure temperature and pressure was invented in Germany. But the question was how to raise it high into the air. In 1921, Russian engineers suggested using planes. The special equipment was put on planes that made regular flights. Thanks to this, scientists got a lot of new information about the structure of the atmosphere. Nowadays scientists use modern flying laboratories to study the structure of clouds at different levels. Unlike the first planes, these laboratories can work in any weather and are able to predict climate changes.

1.  Traditional delivery 2.  Loss of popularity 3.  Money above privacy 4.  The best-known newspapers A.  As in many other European countries, Britain’s main newspapers are losing their readers. Fewer and fewer people are buying broadsheets and tabloids at the newsagent’s. In the last quarter of the twentieth century people became richer and now they can choose other forms of leisure activity. Also, there is the Internet which is a convenient and inexpensive alternative source of news. C.  Another proof of the importance of ‘the papers’ is the morning ‘paper round’. Most newsagents organise these. It has become common that more than half of the country’s readers get their morning paper brought to their door by a teenager. The boy or girl usually gets up at around 5:30 a.m. every day including Sunday to earn a bit of pocket money. E.  Not so long ago in Britain if you saw someone reading a newspaper you could tell what kind it was without even checking the name. It was because the quality papers were printed on very large pages called ‘broadsheet’. You had to have expert turning skills to be able to read more than one page. The tabloids were printed on much smaller pages which were much easier to turn. G.  If you go into any newsagent’s shop in Britain you will not find only newspapers. You will also see rows and rows of magazines for almost every imaginable taste. There are specialist magazines for many popular pastimes. There are around 3,000 of them published in the country and they are widely read, especially by women. Magazines usually list all the TV and radio programmes for the coming week and many British readers prefer them to newspapers.     5.  Focus on different readers 6.  The successful competitor 7.  Size makes a difference 8.  Weekend reading B.  The ‘Sunday papers’ are so called because that is the only day on which they are published. Sunday papers are usually thicker than the dailies and many of them have six or more sections. Some of them are ‘sisters’ of the daily newspapers. It means they are published by the same company but not on week days. D.  The quality papers or broadsheets are for the better educated readers. They devote much space to politics and other ‘serious’ news. The popular papers, or tabloids, sell to a much larger readership. They contain less text and a lot more pictures. They use bigger headlines and write in a simpler style of English. They concentrate on ‘human interest stories’ which often means scandal. F.  The desire to attract more readers has meant that in the twentieth century sometimes even the broadsheets in Britain look rather ‘popular’. They give a lot of coverage to scandal and details of people’s private lives.  The reason is simple. What matters most for all newspaper publishers is making a profit. They would do anything to sell more copies.

Netball is played by over 20 million people in more than 70 countries of the world. It was invented in 1892 as women’s basketball. However, netball is different from basketball in many ways. For example, the ball and the basket are smaller and the court is bigger. The players cannot run with the ball. They are not allowed to touch the players who they are playing with. Netball has seven players in each team (not five as in basketball). During the 20^th century, the game became very popular in English-speaking countries. Traditionally, only girls and women have played netball. Nowadays, netball is the number one women’s sport in the world but boys and men are starting to play it too.

that I’m never leaving
Cause I’ll miss the snow
’till death we’ll be freezing
Yeah, you are my home,
my home for all seasons
So come on let’s go
Let’s go below zero
And hide from the sun
I love you forever
Well, we’ll have some fun
Yes, let’s hit the North Pole
and live happily
Please don’t cry no tears
now it’s Christmas baby

My snowman and me
My snowman and me
Baby

The rise of Napoleon

Napoleon Bonaparte was born on the island of Corsica in 1769. He was the son of a noble. In 1784 Napoleon won a scholarship to the élite military training college in Paris. In 1785, at the age of 16, Napoleon became second lieutenant in the artillery. Napoleon became sympathetic to the Revolution in 1789.

In the Battle of Toulon in 1793, Napoleon led a victorious attack on a Royalist fort and was then promoted to Brigadier General. Napoleon gained more attention in 1795 when he put down a pro- royalist coup in Paris. He was promoted to Major General. In 1796, Napoleon married Josephine Beauharnais. He was put in charge of the French army fighting the Austrians in Italy. Between 1796 and 1797, Napoleon re-organised the French army and inspired the dispirited soldiers. They went on to win several great victories over the Austrians and Italians.

The Austrians were forced to sign a ceasefire at Leoben in 1797. Between 1798 and 1799 Napoleon’s plans to attack the British went badly wrong. His army was ravaged by plague and sickness, and Nelson’s British Navy destroyed many of Napoleon’s own ships. Still, Napoleon seized Malta and had several victories in Egypt during the expedition. Napoleon returned to Paris in August 1799, after hearing of the military crisis facing France and on November 11th 1799, Napoleon seized control of France in the ‘coup d’état’ (or Coup de Brumaire). Following the Coup, a new constitution was introduced, and Napoleon was made First Consul of France. Then, on December 2nd, 1804, in the presence of the Pope, Napoleon crowned himself Emperor
