The United States of America
The United States of America is the world’s fourth largest country. Only Russia, Canada and China have bigger territories f'teritanz] than the US. There are fifty states in the country. Forty-eight are in the same part of North America. The other two are Alaska in the north, and Hawaii situated on eight islands in the Pacific.
The United States stretches from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean, which wash the country in the west and in the east. Long mountain chains run down the Pacific coast. In this part of the country is Death Valley, the lowest place in North and South Americas. Here, too, is the Grand Canyon which the Colorado River made millions of years ago. In some places it is about 6 km deep. Farther east lie the tall peaks of the Rocky Mountains that run from Canada to Mexico. Beyond them stretch the Great Plains where the mighty Mississippi River flows. Another mountain chain, the Appalachians, runs down the eastern part of the United States. The USA borders on Canada in the north, where the five Great Lakes are situated, and Mexico in the South.

IA Read the text and say what the figures^ 450,000; 35,000; 10,000—
12,000 mean in it.
Words... Words... Words...
We say them, we hear them, we read them and write them. And telephones, mobiles, radios, televisions, computers are all there to carry words to all parts of the world — and even to the moon and back. How many words must a language have? For example^, there are more than 450,000 words in Webster’s Third New International Dictionary. No person ['рз:$эп] knows all of them, but most people are able to understand about 35,000
* a figure [Tiga] — цифра ^ for example — например
and use about 10,000—12,000. Usually you use only one-tenth (1/10) as many words as you understand.
If you hear or read a new word and want to know what it means, you look the word up in a dictionary. Modern dictionaries are very different. Most of them give words alphabetically. With the word they give information about how to pronounce [pra'nauns] it, what meaning or meanings it has, if there are any difficulties in its grammar and use. There are three big categories ['kaetiganz] of dictionaries: monolingual [,mDnau'ln3gw3l], bilingual [bai'liggwal] and multilingual [/mAlti'liogwal]. They give information about words in one (mono-), two (Ы-) or more than two (multi-) languages.
B. Listen to the tape, [;^ (16), and read the text again after it.
H Look at the two dictionary entries’ and answer the questions.
a) library ['laibrari] n {pi libraries) a room or building for books, librarian [lai'brearian] n someone who works in a library. {Oxford Basic English Dictionary. Oxford University Press, 1995.)
b) handy I'hasndi] adj (handier, handiest) 1 (clever with hands) умелый, мастеровой, рукастый (coll^); he is ~ у него золотые руки. 2 (easy to handle) удобный для пользования. 3 (convenient) удобный, сподручный (coll); it may come in - это может пригодиться. {Oxford Russian Dictionary. Oxford University Press, 2000.)
Questions
1) Which of the two words comes from a monolingual (bilingual) dictionary?
2) Where can you find information about how to pronounce the words?
3) How do you know that one of the words is a noun and the other is an adjective?
4) Which of the words has one and which more than one meaning?
5) Which of the dictionaries gives word combinations?
6) Which of the dictionaries gives derivatives^?
7) What does ~ stand for?

Обрати внимание на то, что
• название нации в целом обычно употребляется с определенным артиклем — the English (англичане); the French (французы), the Chinese (китайцы), the Russians (русские). Однако в случае слов на -ап — (the) Americans, (the) Canadians — он может опускаться;
• в некоторых случаях наименование отдельных предаавителей нации образуется при помощи сложных слов или словосочетаний — ап English-тап/ап Englishwoman, English people,
• во фразах типа «Я русский», «Он англичанин» чаще используется прилагательное, чем существительное. Ср.: I am Russian. Не is English. They are American. (I am a Russian. He is an Englishman. They are Americans. — возможные, HO значительно реже употребляемые варианты.)

Why Don’t We All Speak the Same Language?
There is a theory ['Giori] which says that at one time, at the beginning of history all the people of Europe spoke one and the same language. They call it a parent language. Maybe there were two or more parent languages in Europe. At first they belonged to small groups of people. By and by these groups became bigger and went to live in new lands. In their new countries they first spoke their

old language but with time their speech began to sound different. In the new places those people stopped using some of the old words and so they forgot them. The structure ['strAkt/a] of their sentences slowly changed too. They also made new words to speak about new things they found in the new lands. After a long time the changes in words, pronunciation [pramAnsi'eiJsn] and grammar were so great that their language began to sound like a different one. That was how a new language was born. In just these ways, Spanish, French and Portuguese developed from Latin ['Isetin] and English, Norwegian, Dutch and some other languages grew from Old German.

Ты уже знаешь, что новые слова в английском языке можно образовать при помощи суффиксов и префиксов (приставок). Познакомься с новыми. Суффикс -fess указывает на отсутствие чего-либо, какого-либо качества и служит для образования прилагательных.
child + less = childless (бездетный) end -♦- less = endless (бесконечный) speech + less = speechless (немой) use -I- less = useless (бесполезный) cloud -I- less = cloudless (безоблачный)
Суффикс -ly служит для образования наречий и реже прилагательных.
deep -ь 1у = deeply (глубоко) ugly — некрасивый
slow -I- 1у = slowly (медленно) lovely — прелестный
terrible -f- 1у = terribly (ужасно)
Обрати внимание, что если прилагательное оканчивается на у, то в наречии эта буква меняется на i;
easy — easily happy — happily
busy — busily heavy — heavily
lazy — lazily dry — dryly/drily

Different Kinds of English
(part I)
In the 16^^* century the people who lived in Europe did not know English. They couldn’t understand English words. Only those who lived on the island called Great Britain, spoke English. English was useless for the people of the continent. In those years Latin, French, German and Italian were popular and widely known.
Four hundred years later the speakers of English travelled into every corner of the globe carrying their language and culture with them. Today English is more important than any other language has ever been. It has become the language of the planet, the first truly global language. Of all the world’s languages it is probably the richest in vocabulary. Now it is the language of technology and science, business and sport. English is the official language of the Olympics, the official voice of the air and of the sea. People use English as the first language in English-speaking countries such as Britain, the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. It has become the second language in countries like India, Nigeria [паГфэпэ] and Singapore [/Siqa'po:]. Then there is English as a foreign language. People teach and learn English as a foreign language in Europe and Asia, in Africa and South America, in other words, all over the world.

Different Kinds of English
(part II)
As you already know people speak different kinds of English. For example, we can hear different forms of English in different parts of the English-speaking world. Those people who live in India speak Indian English, in Canada — Canadian English, in Australia — Australian English. British English and American English are the most important kinds of the English language be-
• a person ['рз:5эп] — человек, личность
cause people use them very widely. And they are not really that much different. If you meet people who come from the USA, you can say that their language sounds different from British English. You will be able to say that these people are not British. But you won’t probably have much difficulty in understanding what they say.
It is so because the vocabulary and grammar of the language is very much the same. But some things have different names in Britain and America. Compare these.

Л|тЬе Robinsons live in Britain and the Wilsons live in the US. Their lives are very much the same. They do the same things every day. Read the text about the Robinsons and describe the Wilsons' day. Use American English.
The Robinsons are a British family. They live in Manchester. This is their usual weekday. They get up at 6:30. Tom Robinson goes to the bathroom. He turns on the tap, has a shower, cleans his teeth and puts on his favourite clothes — a dark blue jumper and old grey trousers. Tom is a lorry driver so he doesn’t wear any good clothes to work.
While Tom is dressing, his wife Mary gets his breakfast ready. She cooks eggs on the stove. Tom likes a big breakfast before he goes to work. Mary doesn’t eat much for breakfast — just a cup of coffee and some biscuits after which she puts her favourite sweet in lier mouth and washes up.
After breakfast Tom kisses his wife and leaves home at seven. He has a busy day in front of him. He drives his lorry to the petrol station and starts off. He has lunch at 12:30. He usually has fish and French fries in a small cafe and drinks two mugs of the strongest tea. Tom works until five and returns home at six.
In the morning Mary cleans the flat, takes the rubbish out and puts it in the dustbin standing on the street pavement. Then she goes to the chemist’s where she works. She also comes back home at six.
Tom and Mary like to go out in the evening. They get their old Ford out of the car park and drive to the cinema. They are fond of watching new films and never miss them.

I A. Read the text and say in what way animals are different from plants.
Animals and Plants
As scientists say, an animal is any living thing (including people) that is not a plant. No one knows how many different species of wild plants and animals there are on our planet. People discover hundreds of new kinds every year. In what way are animals different from plants? This question is not always easy to answer. Animals and plants get their food differently: animals eat plants or other animals, while plants get their food from the air and soil with the help of their leaves and roots. But we know that some plants catch and “eat” insects. Also animals can move about while plants grow in the same place but there are some plants that can
travel and some animals that never leave their place. As you see plants and animals have very much in common.
There are more than 300,000 different species of plants on earth. Some plants grow very tall and live a very long life. Other plants are so tiny that you can see them only through a microscope ['maikraskbup]. The same is true about animals. You can find plants and animals in the oceans and deserts, in mountains and in cold tundra ['Undrs] plains. When people first learned to cultivate ['kAltiveit] plants and domesticate [da'mestikeit] animals, our civilization [/Sivalai'zeijsn] began. We can’t live without them. Plants are able to use sunlight to build themselves up. They use carbon dioxide^ gas and “breathe out” life-giving oxygen^. They support life on the planet.
B. Listen to the tape, (38), and read the text again after it.
ВЭ Answer the questions on the text "Animals and Plants".
1) What do living things include?
2) Can we say that we have studied all the plants and animals that live on our planet?

Flora and Fauna^ of the British Isles
1) rhe warm and wet climate ['kaimit] of Great Britain is very gO)d for plants. That’s why the cointry looks like a big beautiful ga-den.
Ceituries ago there were a lot of forests on the British Isles but noA^ you can find big forests only in a few parts of the country — th* north of Scotland and the soith-east and south-west of En-ghnd. The most common trees in Ergland are oaks, elms and beech-68 while Scotland has a lot of pi>es. firs and birches.
2) The fauna or animal life on the British Isles is like in the north-wet of Europe. Many larger ani-mils such as bears and wolves doi’t live on the British Isles any mere but there are a lot of smaller an male: foxes, rabbits, hares and helgehogs. Deer live in the forests of Scotland and England too.
Tlare are also different kinds of fish, snakes, lizards, frogs, butterflies and dragonflies.
3) More than two hundred species of birds live on the British Isles anl about two hundred kinds are visitors of the place. Many of thsm are songbirds, in spring the laid rings with their singing. The m(st common are blackbirds and spirrows. A lot of waterbirds — sw^ns, ducks, geese and gulls — liv3 on the lakes and rivers and on th* sea coasts of Great Britain.

I A. Read these texts about flowers and say what months you associate^ them with and why.
1) The snowdrop is as white as snow and grows when snow still lies in the forests. You can try to grow snowdrops in your garden too.
' to associate [s'saujleit] — ассоциировать
2) This month’s flower is the primrose I'primrsuz]. The primrose may have many different colours: white, yellow, red, pink, orange and purple. This little flower looking like a star is one of the earliest spring flowers. They are common in Europe, Asia and North America.
3) The flower of this month is the daffodil which grows and blooms early in spring. It has been a garden favourite for centuries. It has long leaves and bright yellow petalsh It belongs to the narcissus family. In Greek mythology, Narcissus was a young man who could love nobody else but himself. So gods^ got angry with him and turned him into a flower.
4) Water lilies grow in ponds and lakes. These flowers are large. Some are deep yellow, some are pinkish white and some are blue or even purple. The best known water lily is Victoria Regia. The leaves of this plant grow over a meter and a half in diameter. Its big pink-white flowers open in the evening.
5) The chrysanthemum [kri'ssenGmiDm] is one of the oldest flowers people grow. It has been grown in Japan for nearly two thousand years and is the national flower of that island country. Travellers brought it to Europe in the 17**' century. This lovely flower can be white, yellow, red, purple or pink. Chrysanthemums are welcome flowers because they grow and open when there are not many other flowers around.
6) This sweet flower is probably everyone’s favourite. Roses please us with their beauty from June to September and in England, whose emblem they are, you can sometimes see roses opening in November or even December. The most common colours are red, pink, white and yellow. If you want to say that a job or a situation includes some unpleasant things, you often say “it is not all roses”.

Green Fields
(by Terry Gilkyson, Rich Dehr, Frank Miller)
Once there were green fields kissed by
the sun.
Once there were valleys where rivers
used to run.
Once there was blue sky with white
clouds high above.
Once they were part of an everlasting
love.
We were the lovers who strolled through
green fields.

Green fields are gone now, parched by
the sun,
Gone from the valleys where rivers used
to run.
Gone with the cold wind that swept into my heart.
Gone with the lovers who let their
dreams depart.
Where are the green fields that we
used to roam ?
I’ll never know what made you run
away.
How can I keep searching when dark
clouds hide the day.
I only know there’s nothing here for me. Nothing in this wide world left for me to
see.
But I’ll keep on waiting till you return.
I’ll keep on waiting till the day you learn. You can’t be happy while your heart’s
on the roam.
You can’t be happy until you bring it
home.
Home to the green fields and me once
again.

What Is Ecology?
No living thing or group of living things can live and grow in isolation [^aisa'lei/an]. All organisms, both plants and animals, need^ energy to develop and all species of living things influence the lives of others. Ecology is a science. It studies how plants, animals and other living things live in relation to each other and to their environment. People have always studied living things in their natural ['nastfsrsl] environment, in other words, they have always studied the air, the water, the soil and all the other things that surround a person, animal or plant. The environment can influence the growth and health of living things. Ecologists also study what happens to different species. They collect information [,inf3'mei/an] about their population number, diet ['daiat], form, size and behaviour. Ecology is one of the most important sciences nowadays. It teaches us how to survive in the modern world.

Our Environment
The environment is all the things we need to be able to live — clean water to drink and to wash with, air to breathe and healthy food to eat. We can’t live without plants and animals. They help to make the soil, they clean the water and air, and they give us all our food.
The world is our home and we want to see it clean and beautiful. At the same time we take from nature as much as we can. We cut down forests and build farms, houses, roads and factories on the land. While doing it we pollute the environment. We make a lot of waste some of which is toxic. We dump domestic and industrial waste in the country and pour toxic waste into our rivers, seas and oceans.
Cars and factories, plants^ and power stations pollute the air and make it dangerous to breathe.
People have to think about all these ecological problems if they want to survive.

a) Land without Trees
b) No Air to Breathe
c) Dangerous Waters
d) Toxic Food
e) Problems Important for Everyone
f) No Food for Animals
1) The word environment means what is around us. People who live in big industrial centres, cities and towns live in a town environment. For others their environment is the countryside^. Everybody who lives in towns or in the country breathes air, drinks water, uses soil which should be clean. But are they really clean?
2) The water in the oceans, seas, and rivers has become polluted in many places. If people drink this water, they can get ill or even die. People use oceans and seas as big dumps and pour industrial
^ outside — вне, за пределами ^ countryside ['kAntrisaid] — сельская местность
and domestic waste into them. And so fish become toxic. It is very dangerous for people to eat such fish. Water birds leave places with toxic water, A lot of trees on the coast die, too.
3) The food we eat is not always healthy as fruit and vegetables can grow on polluted soil and become dangerous too. The meat we get from sheep and cows can be bad for our health if these sheep and cows eat grass that grows on polluted land.
4) People cut down trees and many birds and animals can’t have homes in their usual places and they begin dying out. If the situation doesn’t change, soon we shall live in a very different world — a world without a number of species that we know now.
5) Nowadays people feel that it is more difficult to breathe: in big cities the air has become badly polluted. Most of the pollution comes from cars and buses. Old people and little children feel bad and get ill because of the polluted air.

As Dead^ as a Dodo
You have never seen a dodo. Your friends and teachers have never seeti a dodo. Your grandparents never saw a dodo. The last of these large quiet birds died m^ny years ago.
The dodo lived on the island of Mauritius [тэ'п/э5]. Dutch ships came to that island and
* is missing ['misiol — отсутствует ^ dead [ded] — мертвый
found these big fat birds. Dodos could not fly but they were not afraid of people.
Visitors to Mauritius killed all the dodos on the island. By the 1690s there were no dodos in the world. Nowadays you can see only bones of these birds and their pictures.
The story of the dodo is very sad and it shows you how dangerous man can be and how easy it is to destroy wildlife.
This is what some people think about ecological problems. With which of their ideas do you agree^?

Shall We Survive?
People have been polluting the planet on which they live for many years. The result [п'глк] is very sad. We all live in a polluted world. Pollution started in a small way, but then it began growing and soon we all shall be in danger. The time has come to save our planet, to protect people, animals and plants from dying.
First of all countries should have strong laws to control pollution, to protect animals and plants. Governments should be responsible for protecting nature. Today the law in some countries says: “The polluter must pay. If a person damages trees or animals, he must also pay.” But unfortunately such good laws don’t always work. Scientists often meet and talk about ways of helping nature, and politicians in many countries listen to them and are beginning to talk about this too.
Countries can open national parks. They are big and usually very beautiful places without buildings. These are homes for animals

Governments should also find ways to recycle things we have used: paper bags and plastic bags, plastic bottles and cans^, glass and metal things. They should build recycling factories. Governments must control and if necessary close dangerous plants and factories.
We all must work together to make our planet a safe and beautiful place to live.

I had done my flat by 3 o'clock.
I had done my flat by the time mother came back.

Prodigy Child
Kevin was a prodigy child. By the age of two he had learned to read and write. Before his fifth birthday his parents had taught him to speak French and German and he played the piano rather well. Kevin was a great lover of books and by the age of ten he had already read all the books in his father’s library. When all his friends were still in the second form, he had already left school. After he had finished college, he went to University to become a microbiologist. At sixteen he was ready for his final exams and soon became the youngest scientist in the history of his country. He was happy because he hadn’t wasted his time and got a good profession that he loved. The only problem with Kevin was that he had never played football or basketball with his friends and had no idea of sports, games or children’s parties: he hadn’t had time for them.

В 1999 году в Британии закончился официальный переход на метрическую систему измерения веса и расстояния. Английские школьники, как и российские, учат в школе, что километр состоит из тысячи метров, а в килограмме — тысяча граммов. Однако все жители Британии хорошо помнят старую систему измерений и продолжают ею пользоваться. Так, на рынках и в магазинах вам взвешивают продукты в фунтах, объем напитков исчисляется в пинтах, а расстояние — в милях. Для многих людей, особенно старшего поколения, это гораздо более привычно. То же положение дел характерно и для США.

Two Interviews
Interview 1
Interviewer: Do you think you’re a healthy person? Andrew: Yes, I get a cold one or two times a year and that’s all. And I hardly take any medicines.
Interviewer: And do you think that’s because of what you eat and the exercise you take?
Andrew: Maybe. I try to eat healthy food — fruit, vegetables and lots of salad. I do my best not to overeat and seldom eat sweets or cakes or just junk food.
Interviewer: What about smoking? Do you smoke? Andrew: No, I’ve never smoked at all.
Interviewer: Do you drink alcohol?
Andrew: Yes, but only wine^ Sometimes I have it with my meals.
Interviewer: And do you take much exercise?
Andrew: I’m afraid not enough. In summer I ride a bicycle^ and in winter I try to do some swimming once a week but I feel that’s not enough. I’m beginning to put on weight.
Interview 2
Interviewer: Sarah, you look fine and healthy. Do you think you’re a healthy person?
Sarah: Well, I feel healthy. I’m not too bad.
Interviewer: And what about smoking? Do you smoke? Sarah: Yes, I still do. Not too much, two or three cigarettes a day. I know it’s a bad habit. I tried to give it up but found it too hard.
Interviewer: Do you keep to any diet?
S a r a h: Not really because I enjoy my food too much. I like fried^ food and sweet things. It’s difficult to say that my diet is healthy.
Interviewer: And what about exercise? Do you jog or play tennis or anything?

The Olympic Games
a) ...
The Olympic Games are an international sports festival that began in ancient Greece. In those days Greek games took place every four years. They included not only sports competitions but also competitions in music, oratory^ and theatre performances. The earliest information about the Olympic Games goes back to 776 BC, but historians think that the Games began long before that. The ancient Olympics had only one athletic event — a footrace or a race for runners of about 183 metres (the length of the stadium). Only men could compete or watch the Games. During the Games there was peace in the country. When the powerful, warlike^ Spartans began to compete, they changed the programme of the Games and included more sports in it. The winners of the Games became national heroes. The Roman emperor-'^ Theodosius [Ois'dausjss] ended the Olympics in 394 AD because he thought that they were a pagan'* festival .
b) ...
In the 19**' century the French nobleman Pierre de Coubertin ['pjer da 'киЬз:1эп] got the idea to bring the Olympic Games back to life. With the help of the people who supported him he organized the first modern Olympic Games in 1896. They were a success. Athletes from thirteen countries came to Greece to compete in nine sports. Russia took part in them, too. Now the number of countries taking part in the Olympic Games is much larger and so is the number of sports in which athletes compete. Like in ancient times, the Olympic Games take place every four years, yet in 1926 the tradition of the Winter Olympic Games also began. The noble idea of the Olympic Games-is to make all people friends by com-
* oratory ['oratari] — ораторское искусство ^ warlike = liking war
* an emperor ['empara] — император
* pagan ['peigan] — языческий
peting on football fields, courts and stadiums. The International Olympic Committee [ks'miti] (IOC) heads the Olympic movement. Among other things the Committee chooses the place for the coming Olympics. It is a great honour for a city to become an Olympic one.
The Olympic Games are probably the most important international sports event. Millions of people watch them, supporting their favourite teams and athletes. Many things have changed but like in ancient times winners of the Olympics become national heroes in their countries.
B. Listen to the tape, (72), and read the text again after it.

The Passive Voice^
Bee уже известные тебе глагольные формы были использованы в так называемом активном залоге (the active voice), когда глагол показывает, что действие выполняется лицом или предметом, выраженным подлежащим. ’
Richard broke the window yesterday.
Susan wrote the project last Sunday.
Однако, когда говорящий либо не знает, кто совершает действие, либо не придает этому значения, в предложении обычно используется страдательный залог (the passive voice). В английском языке арадательный залог образуется с помощью вспомогательного глагола to be и третьей формы основного глагола.
’ to budget [ЪлфИ] — распределять ^ the passive voice — страдательный залог
Для прошедшего времени это;
was/were translated = был/были переведены was/were played = был/были сыграны was/were shown = был/были показаны was/were read = был/были прочитаны
Если же возникает необходимость назвать лицо, которое совершает действие, пользуются предлогом by.
The book was written Joanne Rowling.
Обрати внимание, что одно и то же предложение в страдательном залоге может переводиться на русский язык по-разному.
The letter was sent last evening.

The History of Entertainment
Nearly everyone enjoys entertainment. The beginnings of popular entertainment go back to prehistoric times, when dance, music and story-telling were very important.
The traditions of entertainment began in ancient Greece about 2,500 years ago with the development of Greek drama. In those days festivals were organized to celebrate Dionysus [,daia'naiS9s], the Greek god of wine and new life, with song and dance. Later poets began to write stories for a large group of performers (a chorus and an actor to recite). Then another actor was introduced which made a dialogue between characters possible. There were two forms of classical ['klaesikal] Greek drama — tragedy and comedy.
The Romans continued the traditions of Greece and developed other kinds of entertainment as well. The beginnings of the circus are connected with gladiators fighting in public arenas.

Q.

In the Middle Ages^ the church considered entertainment and drama wrong, but by and by drama reappeared with religious and moral plays.
In the time of Renaissance the theatre became less religious and there was a new interest in Greek and Roman drama. Common people^ preferred comedies performed by a travelling group of actors. At first, the actors had no text, only an idea of what was going to happen and had to improvise. They usually performed on high platforms in public places. The actors offered entertainment which included plays, songs and dances.
The Golden Age of Theatre began when the first special theatres were built. The first of such theatres was opened in London in 1652. Soon there appeared a few others including the famous Globe Theatre. Among the writers who worked for these theatres was William Shakespeare, one of the greatest dramatists in any language. Shakespeare gave his audience great literature but at tlie same time he gave them popular entertainment.
Nowadays people entertain themselves by listening to music, watching TV programmes, films and videos, going to concerts and circus shows but the theatre is still among our favourite entertainments.

Some Facts from the History of Hollywood
F^eople remember “The Birth of a Nation”^ as one of the most famous Hollywood silent^ films. They first showed it in 1915 and it took nearly three hours. The film was about American history, Л lot of people who had never been inside a cinema before saw this film.
The Golden Age of Cinema began with the talkies^ — when the actors in the film were able to talk. In 1927 A1 Jolson, the Russian-born Hollywood actor and singer, said a few words and sang six songs in the film “The Jazz Singer”. The public loved him.
In 1932 they introduced a new camera ['’кжтэгэ] which could make colour films for the cinemas. Soon big audiences enjoyed colour films.
One of the most popular films of all times was probably the colour film “Gone with the Wind”, The audiences first saw it in 1939. The film won eight Oscars. They still show this legendary film in cinemas and on television all over the world.
* “The Birth of a Nation” — «Рождение нации» (название фильма)
* silent ['saibnt] — немой
'* a talkie ['to;ki] — (разг.) звуковой фильм
Cinema uses special effects when it is too difficult or dangerous to do something in the usual way. A good example is the popular film “Jurassic [dsuo'rassik] Park” (1993).
The big dinosaurs in the film were not real, of course! They made lots of models of each of them. Today, they use computers more and more in special effects.
In some cinemas which people call IMAX DOME ['aimaks ,doum] theatres they use a big, 30 metre screen^, and put the audience right in the centre of everything that is happening in the film.
cardboard ['ko;dba:d] — картон wool [wul] — шерсть cotton ['kntn] — хлопок china ['tfaina] — фарфор

Let’s Go to the Cinema!
1) Today it is possible to buy a video and watch a film at home, but millions of people all over the world still prefer to go to their town or city cinema for a “night out”. And before television arrived in people’s homes, a visit to the cinema was something really special and truly wonderful.
2) The Golden Age of film-making and going to the cinema — was between 1930 and 1950. Film stars seemed like kings and queens. Cinemas were “picture^ palaces” where, for the price of a ticket.
picture = film = movie
you could find yourself in a magical world. In that world anything and everything was possible.
3) Nowadays cinema audiences are much smaller and usually younger than the audiences of the Golden Age. Many of the “picture palaces” are now multi-screen cinemas with four or five small cinemas inside one building. Today’s films appear on video, and then on TV after cinema audiences have seen them. But some films don’t look so good on TV, they need a large screen to be really enjoyed. Television can’t do it. You may agree or disagree with it, but for many people the cinema is still the only place to watch a film. Besides, the cinema is the only place where you can watch a brand-new^ film before your friends do it and decide if you like it.
4) Of course, everyone has their own favourite kinds of films — action films or thrillers, comedies, psychological dramas, science fiction, adventure and crime films, horror films or musicals. But cinema is always in the focus of our attention; it thrills, entertains and educates us.
B. Listen to the tape, (88), and read the text again after it.

Р, I, Tchaikovsky and His Music
Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840—1893) is one of the most important figures in the history of music. He wrote some of the bestloved melodies of all times. His ballet music is some of the happiest and most tunefuP music ever written.
By the end of his life, in the late 19“* century Tchaikovsky was known as the greatest living composer. However, at the beginning of his career, his compositions were not always well received. Tchaikovsky’s music, which is so popular today, was at the time considered to be very modern and different. Some people thought it was too sentimental and emotional. But audiences everywhere came to love Tchaikovsky’s musical style which was full of feeling and could excite them.
Tchaikovsky was born in Votkinsk, Russia, in 1840. Young Peter showed an early interest in music. He was given piano lessons at the age of five and very soon he learned to play better than his teacher. His mother died when he was fourteen, he felt unhappy and began to compose music which helped him. At the age of twenty-three he became a full-time student at St. Petersburg Conservatory [k3n's3:v3t3ri]. He graduated from it and was offered a post at the Moscow Conservatory, where he taught for the next twelve years. Then he devoted himself to composing.
His music was often inspired by Russian folk^ tunes and includes some of the world’s best-loved melodies such as the “Romeo

['rsumisu] and Juliet Fantasy Overture ['suvatjua]” and his First Piano Concerto [ksn'tfsdsu]. His ballets — “Swan Lake”, “Sleeping Beauty” and “The Nutcracker” — are still among the most popular ballets.
Between 1888 and 1893 Tchaikovsky visited Europe and the USA conducting his own works. In 1893 he conducted the first performance of his Sixth Symphony ['simfani]. He called it the “Pathet-ique” (full of feeling), saying, “It is based on so much emotion and feeling that when I composed this work, I found myself crying.” Tchaikovsky considered this to be his greatest composition; it was also his last. Less than two weeks later he was dead.
B. Listen to the tape, (91), and read the text again after it.
