Letter A В C D Number Part II Read the text and do the tasks below. Is insurance necessary for a traveller? 1 Agencies provide you with different insurances: you can get a life insurance and accident insurance, car insurance and boat insurance, homeowners insurance and travel insurance, and iots of other kinds of insurance policies. Why do people buy insurance policies? For exampie, why do they buy travel insurance when they go abroad? 2 This is what Adam Brown, the owner of the insurance agency "Safe Travel" says; "When we travel, we can face some unexpected risks. First of all, we can get ill or can have an accident while travelling. The risk is rather high, especially in exotic countries. There are exotic diseases, and snakes and mosquitoes inhabit the most beautiful islands. So, if you become ill or injured, your travel insurance will provide financial support. That is, the agency will pay for your treatment. 3 Then your luggage can be lost while travelling, and, unfortunately, this happens a lot. Can you imagine your life in a foreign city without even the most essential clothes and personal things? If your luggage is lost or damaged, your travel insurance will financially cover at least some percentage of the property that has been lost. With that money you can buy everything necessary and your holiday won't be ruined. 4 And last but not least, your luggage or money can be stolen. It's not a very good idea to wait till the police find it. It can take too much time. The agency will pay for the damage done and, then, let the police do their job while you are enjoying your holiday." 5 Adam Brown has been in insurance business for more than fifteen years, and the number of his clients is growing. It's growing, he thinks, because when people are on holiday, they want rest and relaxation, and travel insurance helps them relax and enjoy their trip even if something goes wrong. Я 24 UNIT 2 1 Find out which paragraph contains the following information. Write letters a) - f) in the correct box. There is one extra letter you don’t need to use. a) the way insurance policy can help when luggage is lost b) different kinds of insurance policies c) medical care provided by an insurance agency d) insurance policy for the damage caused by fire and flood e) Adam Brown’s success in the insurance business f) the way insurance policy can help when luggage is stolen.

If you stay with a family, you have a private room with necessary furniture: a bed, a table or a desk, and a wardrobe for your clothes. You have meals (breakfast and dinner) with the family. It's natural that when you stay with a family, you have to observe some rules of co-existence. They could be like these: a) Behave like a member of the family (which means you should keep your room tidy and help with housework), b) Wash and iron your clothes. And don't forget to ask your hosts if you can use the washing machine, c) Do not use the bathroom for too long. If you use the kitchen, do not forget to wash the dishes after it. d) Speak English as much as possible. Be polite and friendly with everyone in the family, e) Never invite your friends without asking for permission. f) Remember that you should come home by the appointed hour in the evening. Don't stay out till late hours. Staying in a youth hostel is another option for students studying abroad. You can have a single room or can share a room with one or two other students. The kitchen and the bathroom are usually used on a shared basis. That's why it's very important to keep them clean and tidy. You can cook meals yourself or eat in a students' cafe. In the youth hostel you can meet lots of new friends from different countries. They'll possibly help you with your lessons and you can have lots of fun together. Youth hostels also tend to have more of a party atmosphere and often organise entertainment to help you make friends and enjoy your stay. There are usually opportunities for doing sports. For example, you can hire a bicycle or play games in the sports grounds. Staying in a youth hostel is usually less expensive than other options. 30 I 3Aj Read the information about some accommodation options for people who study abroad.

Part II Read the text and fill in the gaps with sentences A — D. Write the letter of the missing sentence in the box. There is one extra sentence you will not need. Transfer your answers to the table below. Is travelling dangerous? When we read about famous travellers, we often admire those brave, courageous and resourceful people. Travelling has always been dangerous and it will always be. People travelling in the jungle can be stung by mosquitoes, bitten by spiders and snakes or killed by tigers or leopards. In the rivers they can be eaten by crocodiles, and in the sea — attacked by sharks. It’s logical enough that we try to protect ourselves from our dangerous neighbours. We use different weapons, technical devices and modern technologies against them, which makes travelling much safer. Q 1- Loads of cars poison the air, water and earth. Planes delivering passengers from one continent to another damage the ozone layer of the atmosphere. Millions of tons of gas, oil, and coal burnt on the planet for travelling purposes destroy the rainforests and add to the greenhouse effect. EH 2. “OK, someone can say, what’s bad about that? Winters will get shorter and summers will be longer. Soon we’ll be enjoying a warmer climate and most people will feel happy about it”. Nothing of the kind! The greenhouse effect will raise the temperature slightly, but it will be enough for icebergs and icecaps of the Antarctic to start melting. Ice melting, in its turn, will raise the ocean level, and some regions, densely inhabited now, may disappear under the water. It ‘ 9 tel m 32 UNIT 2 will break the balance on the Earth, will change the climate, and will drive lots of plants and animals to extinction Q 3. People are part of nature and can’t escape the global disaster. Does everything said above mean that we should stop travelling and should spend our lives in the places where we were born? Certainly not. People can’t do without travelling. However, we should consider safer transportation means. Safer not only for people, but for nature too. The fragile world we live in deserves love and care. A. The latter means that the polluted atmosphere keeps warmth better, which makes the average temperature on the planet higher. B. This chain of changes will affect our life dramatically. C. People should do more to protect the environment. D. However, few people ever think about how dangerous our travelling is for animals and nature. Number 1 2 3 Letter Port III Choose the right option. Write the correct letter in each gap.

Fill in the words from the text. Don’t write more than tw'o words in each gap. Then transfer your answers to the table. Is it easy to be young in the 21st century? There is an opinion that youth is the best part of a person’s life. What is it — a fact or a stereotype? Happy Youth supporters’ arguments sound very convincing. According to them, when you are fifteen or sixteen, the future seems cloudless, the w'orld around you is beautiful and friendly, and you feel strong and optimistic. Neither health nor other problems trouble you yet. You have the parents who protect and support you. You have friends who never betray you. Conflicts are certainly unavoidable, but they don’t last long, and it’s usually not a problem to survive through them. This is a conventional idea about young people. But is it true? Psychologists insist that they have lots of work with teenagers. In their “happiest” years they have too many problems, and in most cases they don’t know how to solve them. They lack life experience and are not self-confident enough. They are often too categoric and can’t forgive other people’s faults and mistakes. A quarrel or misunderstanding can lead to serious suffering. “I don’t feel happy at all,” says Jack Green, 14. “I have no friends. It always works the same. At first it seems that I’ve found a real friend, but then I feel very disappointed because he betrays me — tells silly stories about me in the school, or doesn’t help when I need help. It has happened many times.” “The thing which worries me a lot is my future job,” says Helen Carter, 15. “To have a good life in the future, I have to find a good job. If I want to find a good job, I have to get a good education first. But how am I supposed to choose my career line?! I don’t know what’s good and what’s bad for me. I cannot make an informed choice. I need to make some decision about my education very soon and I feel awfully scared. What if I make a mistake and get an education for a wrong job? This means that I’ll have to do the job which I don’t like or even hate. This makes me feel sick.” On reading these words we, adults, realise that being young is not so easy. It’s rather challenging to be a teenager of the 21st century, when the world changes so rapidly and people have to work very hard to keep pace with it'. Who can help young people feel less stressed out and more self-confident? Who can provide them with information and advice? The answer, I suppose, is evident. , • ' Ч 1 ' ' to keep pace with somebody / something — идти наравне, успевать за кем-то или чем-то The author of the article thinks that the opinion that the youth is the best part of human life may be true. He presents rather_________________(1) arguments for the idea. The strongest argument is that teenagers have fewer________________(2) in comparison with adult people, let along the elderly. And it goes without saying that healthy people feel stronger, more energetic, more optimistic and consequently happier than people in poor health. 60 UNIT 4 However, the author also presents some facts which do not go with the. (3) idea that “youth” and “happiness” are synonyms. Psychologists say that teenagers do have problems. Most of them are caused by their lack of________________________(4) and lack of self-confidence. Another typical teenage problem is that they cannot compromise.
