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.

Llandudno is truly a fine and handsome place, built on a generously proportioned bay and lined along its broad front with a huddle of prim but gracious nineteenth- century hotels that reminded me in the fading light of a lineup of Victorian nannies. Llandudno was purpose-built as a resort in the mid-1800s, and it cultivates a nice old-fashioned air. I don’t suppose that Lewis Carroll, who famously strolled this front with little Alice Liddell in the 1860s, would notice a great deal of change today. To my consternation, the town was packed with weekending pensioners. Buses from all over were parked along the side streets, every hotel I called at was full, and in every dining room I could see crowds — veritable oceans — of nodding white heads spooning soup and conversing happily. Goodness knows what had brought them to the Welsh seaside at this bleak time of year. Farther on along the front there stood a clutch of guesthouses, large and virtually indistinguishable, and a few of them had vacancy signs in their windows. I had eight or ten to choose from, which always puts me in a mild fret because I have an unerring instinct for choosing badly. My wife can survey a row of guesthouses and instantly identify the one run by a white-haired widow with a fondness for children, and sparkling bathroom facilities, whereas I can generally count on choosing the one run by a guy with a grasping manner, and the sort of cough that makes you wonder where he puts the phlegm. Such, I felt, would be the case tonight. All the guesthouses had boards out front listing their many amenities -COLOUR TV, HOSPITALITY TRAYS, FULL CENTRAL HEATING, and the coyly euphemistic EN SUITE ALL ROOMS, meaning private bathrooms. One place offered satellite TV and a trouser press, and another boasted CURRENT FIRE CERTIFICATE — something I had never thought to look for in a B&B. All this heightened my sense of unease and doom. How could I possibly choose intelligently among such a variety of options? I selected a place that looked reasonable enough from the outside — its board promised a color TV and coffee making facilities, about all I require these days for a Saturday night — but from the moment I set foot in the door I knew it was a bad choice. I was about to turn and flee when the owner emerged from a back room and stopped my retreat with an unenthusiastic “Yes?” A short conversation revealed that a single room with breakfast was for £19.50. It was entirely out of the question that I would stay the night in such a dismal place at such an exorbitant price, so I said, “That sounds fine,” and signed in. Well, it’s so hard to say no. My room was everything I expected it to be — cold and cheerless with laminated furniture, grubbily matted carpet, and those mysterious ceiling stains that bring to mind a neglected corpse in the room above. There was a tray of coffee things but the cups were disgusting, and the spoon was stuck to the tray. The bathroom, faintly illuminated by a distant light activated by a length of string, had curling floor tiles and years of accumulated dirt packed into every corner. I peered at the yellowy tile around the bath and sink and realized what the landlord did with his phlegm. A bath was out of the question, so I threw some cold water on my face, dried it with a towel that had the texture of shredded wheat, and gladly took my leave.

Personally I’m quite happy with the old one — a white shirt or a blouse and a tie for both boys and girls. Do all school students in Russia wear a uniform? What's your idea of a good school uniform? Should it be the same for boys and girls? Just imagine I am going on an exchange school program to France!…

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.

Cobras in snake-charming acts are responding to the sight of the flute, not its sound. Snakes don’t really hear music though they are certainly not deaf. They have no external ears or eardrums, but can sense vibrations transmitted up from the ground into their jaw and the belly muscles. They also seem to be able to detect airborne sounds via an inner ear. It used to be thought that snakes could not hear at all because they don’t respond to loud noises but research at Princeton has shown that they have acute hearing. The key discovery was how the snake’s inner ear functions. It appears that their hearing is tuned to the frequency range of noises and vibrations made by the movement of larger animals, so music would be meaningless to them. Charmed cobras stand upright if threatened and sway in response to the movement of the instrument. If they strike at the flute, they hurt themselves, so they don’t do it again.

Dear Lisa, Thanks for your letter. I'm sorry for not writing you for so long. I was helping my brother with his school tasks. It’s great that the administration of your school ask students about their preferences. In Russia many schools have uniforms, but not all of them. In my school we never had it. Every student has an opportunity to wear what he wants and self-affirm himself by his style. I would like to invent something middle official and more comfortable. It could be same for boys and girls, because I believe that it’s not very comfortable to wear squirts all the time. Anyway, you've mentioned an exchange school program. What programs does your school have? Is it difficult to be a part of it? What special abilities should a student have to study abroad? I've got to go as my brother wants me to help him with his homework. Write back soon, Best wishes, Mike

При­мер со­чи­не­ния:

Nowadays it has become fashionable for some people to watch soap operas. However, there are other people, who believe that this is a waste of time. Personally I do not enjoy watching soap operas. Firstly, it takes too much time. Nearly all soap operas last endless number of seasons. It may take ages to watch them all. Secondly, you can become really addicted to soap operas. It is like a drug: you want to watch more and more and cannot stop. Thirdly, I think that if you have a free time and want to relax, it would be much better to watch documentary or feature film. However, there are other people, who find soap operas enjoyable. They claim that characters often face problems that we can find in real life. This makes soap operas realistic and useful in our everyday life. I cannot agree with this opinion, because these people fail to understand that soap operas could replace real life. People, who are addicted to soap operas, often sit in front of the TV or computer rather than go out with friends. Sometimes they even forget about work or school. Taking everything into account, I want to say that watching soap operas could become rather dangerous hobby. To my way of thinking, people should not waste time on this even if they want to relax.

I’ve chosen photo number 2. This was one of the most exciting moments. We had just come to the airport. This was only beginning of our trip. We decided to spend 2 months in the popular resort. In the photo my friends are going to the plane. Mike forgot to take the camera but it wasn't a big deal because we had our own. We had been waiting eternity for this trip! By the way, taking photographs is my hobby. I couldn’t miss an opportunity to make the photo of my friends before the trip. I showed it to my friend because it means a lot to me. Looking at the photo makes me go back in time. I suddenly remember every little detail of that beautiful day. We still gather together and have a great time. This trip meant a lot to us.

Задание 35

Пояснение.

In the photo number one, we can see two policemen. They are standing on a street and talking with each other. In the second picture there is a pretty big group of soldiers. They are equipped and standing in the row. Both of the pictures show us people in uniform. All of them are equipped with guns. The difference between policemen and soldiers is obvious and doesn’t have to be explained. Soldiers a usualy serving somewhere far from the city. Meanwhile the policemen are staying in the cityes to mantain the order. As for me, I’ve never thought about going to the army neither becoming a policeman. If I would have to choose I’d rather be a policeman, because I’m a pacifist, which means I’m against the war. I can’t even imagine how hard (in emotional way) is to shoot to other people, even if they are enemies. Being policeman is more attractive for me, because they have to maintain order, which is not a bad thing. If I was a policeman I would help people, they would rely on me and trust me.
