It became St Petersburg again in 1991. Peter the Great founded the city in 1703 and moved the capital from Moscow to St Petersburg in 1712. The new city became home of Russian tsars and began to grow fast. Soon beautiful Winter Palace appeared in Dvortsovaya (Palace) Square with a tall column in its centre.

St Petersburg, the City on the Baltic Sea A lot of people think that St Petersburg is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Its straight streets, wonderful palaces, green parks and squares leave nobody cold. But at the same time not so many people would like to move to St Petersburg and live there. You can ask why. The answer is: because of the climate. The city is situated in the north, near the Baltic Sea. The winds often blow from the sea and bring* cold and rains. The weather in St Petersburg is often nasty. There aren’t many sunny days. The strong winds make autumns and winters very unpleasant. The Neva is one of the coldest rivers and only very brave people swim in it on hot days. As you see, the climate in St Petersburg is far from good but it doesn’t stop thousands of tourists who come to see the city from different places. People who live in St Petersburg usually say that their city is the best and they will never change it for any city of the world. Speak about St Petersburg. 1. The name | 2.

We can see them in Pskov, Novgorod, Tula, Smolensk and in many other places. But the Moscow Kremlin stands out from them. People think that Moscow began in 1147. It was the year when Prince^ Yury Dolgoruky of Suzdal sent Prince Svyatoslav a letter. He wrote, “Come to me, my brother, to Moskovy.” In those days all the buildings were on the territory of the Kremlin. It stood high on the bank of the Moskva River. To defend Moscow from the enemies they built the first wooden wall around the Kremlin. The city grew very fast and soon new houses appeared behind the Kremlin wall, but the Kremlin was still the most important place in Moscow. In the 14th century they built the first stone churches and cathedrals in the Kremlin. Later Dmitry Donskoi decided to build a strong wall of white stone and tall white towers around it. After that people began to speak about “white-walled Moscow^.” 1 2 a prince [pnns] — зд.: князь white-walled Moscow* — Москва белокаменная By and by Moscow was becoming a fairly important city of Russia. The Russian tsars wanted to show their power and riches. So they started rebuilding the Kremlin again. They invited the best architects from Italy.

They stand on the banks of two rivers — the Moskva and the Neva. The two cities have a lot of places of interest, theatres, museums and picture galleries. In their streets and squares there are a lot of beautiful buildings. They have some wonderful green parks. But what makes them different? St Petersburg is younger than Moscow: Tzar Peter the Great founded it in 1703. Prince Dolgoruky lived in Moscow as early as in 1147, in the 12th century. In St Petersburg there are a lot of bridges but there is no Kremlin. More people live in Moscow than in St Petersburg, and its streets are busier, the territory of Moscow is larger. St Petersburg is a large sea port because it is i «Я я i ’n Tsar Bell 1Л ■D Smolny Cathedral situated near the Baltic Sea. Moscow has only river ports. The climate in St Petersburg is different from the climate in Moscow: the city has more nasty and rainy days.

Oxford is one of the oldest British cities. It is ninety kilometres from London and stands on the Thames. The Thames runs through^ Oxford and then the river runs southeast to London. 2. Oxford is famous for its history and its university. It started in the thirteenth century. At that time Oxford was a market town on the river with roads running in it. There were walls around the town and not many people lived there. But the town got bigger and bigger. People made new houses, walls, bridges. Soon the city had a palace, a castle and some churches. 3. Now Oxford is a big city. It has got a lot of old and very beautiful houses. There are many interesting museums, parks and gardens in the city. Tourists from many countries of the world come to Oxford to see it. The city has got a lot of hotels for tourists. There are many shops where visitors buy souvenirs. The centre of Oxford is a very green place. Visitors love walking in the narrow old streets. Many people travel in the city by bicycle.

The English Roses Part Two I’m sure, some of you know what it means to be green with envy ['envi]. So, the English Roses were jealous of Binah. You see, the girls wanted to be friendly, and it was clear to them that Binah was lonely. But they could not be nice to her, because everybody around said: “She is so beautiful! “She is a star pupil! “Binah is the best”. When Nicole and Amy, and Charlotte, and Grace heard those words about Binah, they always felt bad. This is what they said: “How can anybody be so wonderful?” “Nobody says that about us!” She has everything.” Let’s don’t talk to her.” And so time went on, and the English Roses had fun together, while Binah stayed alone.

Песня "London's Burning" повествует о важном историческом событии, лондонском пожаре, который произошел в 1666 году и нанёс большой ущерб городу. С другой стороны, во время пожара было разрушено много деревянных построек и Лондон начал отстраиваться заново, превращаясь в красивый каменный город. Кроме того, пожар помог справиться со страшной эпидемией чумы, свирепствовавшей в городе в то время. Песня "Streets of London" была написана Ральфом Мактел-лом (Ralph Mctell) в 1974 году и сразу же стала популярной. В ней говорится о бедных, бездомных и одиноких людях, а также о том, что вопреки человеческому страданию, в жизни всегда есть место радости. Здесь приводится только припев песни. п> тз Listen, (49), and read the poem. Finding Way (By Myra Livingston) I’d like you for a friend I’d like to find the way of asking you to be my friend.
