In 1724 the first palace appeared. From that time people began to name the place “Tsarskoe Selo”. The town of Pushkin got its name much later to honour^ Russia’s great poet. It has a lot of places of interest. One of them is the Lycee ['li:sei] Museum. The Lycee was the school where Alexander Pushkin spent six years, made some good friends and wrote a lot of poems. 1.

Soon they came to a wide, deep river that ran from the east coast far to the west. They couldn’t go around it and decided to build a bridge. The Romans found a place where the river was a little narrower. Here they stopped and built a bridge and then a small town. They gave the name Londinium [lan'diiniam] to the town. Today we know it as London. Londinium grew bigger and bigger. The Romans built a lot of roads from Londinium to other parts of Britain. By the year 400, there were fifty thousand people in Londinium. Soon after the year 400, the Romans left Britain. We do not know much about London between the years 400 and 1000. But we know that until 1749, there was only one bridge across the River Thames. Its name was London Bridge. The bridge looked very strange then. There were houses and shops on the bridge. 1. Romans built London on the River Thames. __________________ 2. London grew very fast. 3.

It was Saturday night. Londoners were sleeping in their beds. The king’s baker and his wife were also sleeping in their house near London Bridge. Suddenly the baker’s wife woke up in the middle of the night. She understood that their house was on fire. c) After the Great Fire of London people rebuilt their city. The city became larger. By 1830 there were more than one and a half million people in the capital of Britain. d) In the 11th century people of London usually built wooden houses and they were often near each other.

The Very Rich There are no kings or queens in the US, but there are some very rich people. And some of their houses are like palaces. In the nineteenth century, the rich families of New York wanted to leave the city in the hot summer months. They built homes in Newport. Those millionaires ['miljoneaz] called their homes “cottages” ['koti^iz]. Cottages are usually small and simple. But Newport houses were the biggest and most wonderful in the United States. The rich Vanderbilt family paid eleven million dollars to build their house in 1890. That was a lot of money then. The Newport cottages were open for only seven weeks every year. But at that time, there were parties all night long and the music never stopped. Rich people today do not like to show their money. They are afraid of thieves^. Their houses have high walls all around them and big dogs too. Some of today’s richest people are movie and pop stars. They have houses in Beverly Hills, near Hollywood. Tourists come by bus to see actors’ beautiful homes, but they can only look at them through the gates^. The stars like to live in peace^ and quiet. 1.

American Homes The United States of America is a young country but it has an interesting history. You can see some of its history in the styles of their houses. Nearly four hundred years ago, when people from Europe came to America, they lived in very simple huts^. But later, they built houses in the styles of their home countries. A lot of New Americans were English. So the first towns of such states as Virginia and New England copied^ English towns. These days nearly all Americans live in towns or cities. Many of them have houses with garages for one or two cars. There is usually a big modern kitchen in a house, a living room, a playroom for children. Upstairs there are two bathrooms and three or four bedrooms. Young Johnny sleeps in one room, his sister has a room too. Their parents sleep in the third room. And there is often a room for visitors.

There you can find small ^ a leaf [li:f] — лист ^ magic ['maeckik] — волшебный ^ tiny ['taini] — крохотный, крошечный shops and big stores^. One of the stores is Hamleys, June’s favourite. Hamleys has seven floors. Here you can buy everything from pencils to PlayStations. In fact, Hamleys is one of the largest toy stores in Europe. June thinks shopping at Hamleys is lots of fun. Here she forgets everything — me, the time, the people around. June is a nice hard-working girl but when she comes to Hamleys, she stops being her usual self. June spends hours choosing presents. She tells me what she would like to have for her birthday, for Easter and for Christmas. I like giving her presents but I think it’s rather selfish and greedy of her. So I ask her, “What about your elder sister? And what about your brother? What shall we buy for them?” And we begin choosing presents for the whole family. 1.
