So what do fleas have to do with markets and shopping? No one is quite i sure, as the origins of the term ‘flea market' are not certain. Some people believe it originates from the Dutch language, others think it stems from French. But there is one thing that almost everybody agrees on; there’s no better place to shop if you are in search of a good bargain. There are countless flea markets all around the world, and they are especially popular in Europe. One of the busiest markets in Europe is in the town of Lille. Northern France: La Braderie. With two hundred kilometres of open air stalls, this flea market offers a massive diversity of things to buy at reduced prices. Unfortunately, this amazing event, which has over a million visitors, is only an annual event which happens during the first weekend of September. Another shopper’s paradise is in Russia. Moscow has many flea markets but the Vernisazh flea market at Izmailovsky Park is perhaps the most famous. There is almost nothing that you can’t find there, especially if you are a tourist looking for authentic Russian souvenirs to bring back home. But flea markets are not just places where tourists can buy inexpensive things. The Annex Antiques Fair and Flea Market in New York, USA, is a trendy market which has been attracting famous Hollywood stars as well as people living in the area ever since it opened.

Для начала - о завтраке, который здесь очень отличается от того, что обычно готовит моя мама. Завтрак очень легкий; кукурузные хлопья или мюсли с молоком, тосты с джемом и чашка кофе. Обед еще более необычный по сравнению с нашим привычным русским обедом из четырех блюд. Никакого супа, никакой рыбы или мяса с гарниром. У меня обычно на обед с собой коробочка с ланчем; пара бутербродов с ветчиной и сыром, яблоко или банан, печенье и напиток. Многие местные жители предпочитают такой обед. Единственная по-домашнему приготовленная еда - это ужин. Его я люблю больше всего. Обычно подают зеленый салат, жареную курицу или говядину и очень вкусный десерт. Все в принимающей семье предпочитают мороженое. А мне нравится домашняя выпечка под названием «всякая всячина». Я бы хотел узнать рецепт и приготовить этот десерт дома, когда я приеду. Думаю, мои родители будут гордиться моими кулинарными способноаями. 2. - Извините, далеко здесь до открытого рынка? - Нет, две минуты ходьбы.

Он проводил эксперименты со светом. Молодой ученый работал штатным ассистентом профессора в лаборатории, и все время проводил там. Он поаавил много опытов, прежде чем достиг результатов. Гриффин был нааоящим изобретателем - он мог любую вещь сделать невидимой (invisible). Он думал, что получит все, о чем мечтал, благодаря своему изобретению, поэтому он превратил себя в невидимку. Он хотел представить свое открытие всему научному миру, но, чтобы сделать это, он должен был быть виден, а этого он сделать не смог. Он злился на людей, потому что никто не поддержал его экспериментов, а он теперь не мог вернуться в реальный мир. Гриффин использовал свое изобретение, чтобы уничтожать людей. Он стал «человеком-невидимкой», и все боялись его. Его открытие не послужило на благо людям. 2. - А чем занимается твой старший брат? - Он работает бухгалтером в одной компьютерной компании. - Он работает неполный день? - Нет, он работает с понедельника по пятницу с 9 до 7. - И как давно он работает там? - Уже три года. - Ему нравится работа? - Думаю, да, он хорошо зарабатывает и имеет трехнедельный отпуск каждый год. - А в чем заключается его работа? - Он работаете цифрами, я не знаю подробностей.

You buy shoes and clothes based on what pop stars, film stars and models are wearing. Tight-fitting jeans are now considered a ‘must have’ whereas the baggy jeans you spent £100 on last year are presently considered old-fashioned by Teen Vogue. Almost everyone would like to he designer clothes and expensive shoes. But is it really worth spending all your pocket money on items you won’t even wear in a couple of months? If you really want to become a smart buyer here are some tips: Be responsible. Do not spend a lot of cash on things that you know will be out of fashion within the next six months. Pay attention to the quality and the material. Do not spend money on a T-shirt that’s made of cotton just because it's designed by Armani. It's not logical. Before you buy that red leather jacket take a minute to think; do I have matching shoes? Does the colour suit me? Is it casual enough? Can it be worn at school? If you want to buy something smart for a formal occasion, get a plain, elegant, white shirt or a black, silk dress. They will never go out of fashion! think that they actually look cool because they are now being worn by major trendsetters like Kate Moss and David Beckham! Do not compare yourself to unrealistic images. You can't wear the same clothes as runway models. It's just not practical. Don’t pay too much attention to the latest trends. It’s more important to wear something that suits your body and your personal style. If you walk with confidence even a pair of old scruffy jeans or a knitted sweater can look trendy. No one will like you more just because you have a designer handbag. It’s all about self-confidence! Your taste in fashion is certainly influenced by TV and advertisements. Despite the fact that you’ve always hated leather trousers and velvet suits, you start to Remember, the fashion industry sells vanity not reality.

Certain species of animals have become extinct and many more are now endangered. We all know that humans are the biggest threat to the survival of most animals. People hunt, kill and pollute the habitats of a great number of species. So, what can we do to help them survive? To start with, it is important to make the destruction of animals' habitats illegal. Next, people who hunt animals illegally must face heavy fines and even long-term prison sentences. If these measures were in place, they would discourage people from committing such acts. Thus, this would protect both animals and the environments they live in. Another solution would be to encourage people not to buy animal products. As a result, manufactures would produce fewer products made with the fur, skin or teeth of endangered species and other animals. Finally, it would be a good idea to create more national parks and protected habitats for endangered animals. This would allow them to live and breed in a safe environment. Therefore, their numbers would increase and the species would not disappear. To sum up, there are many ways to make the world a safer place for animals. Putting some of these ideas into action would definitely make life better for all in the animal kingdom. C Replace the linkers in bold with synonyms, 1 ............................................. 2 ............................................. 3 ........................................... 4 ........................................... 5 ........................................... 6 ...........................................

You can either reuse nor/or recycle plastic bags. Match the suggestions to the results.

Translate the situations into English: 1. В последнее десятилетие наводнения, засухи, циклоны, цунами и торнадо стали частым явлением. Много людей из разных стран мира пострадало и даже погибло по их причине. Землетрясения в наши дни более опасны, чем в прошлом, так как половина населения планеты живет в городах. Серьезные землетрясения случались в Турции, Греции, Центральной Америке. 8 2001 году землетрясение полностью разрушило город Эль-Сальвадор, который в то время восстанавливали жители после сильнейшего урагана 1998 года. Природа как будто мстит нам (turns on us). Мы загрязнили воздух, воду и почву, мы сбрасываем тонны отходов в воду, наши заводы выбрасывают различные газы в атмосферу. Планета становится теплее. В результате более теплый океан порождает разрушительные цунами, циклоны и ураганы. Правительства всех стран должны задуматься, как защитить планету, очистить ее от мусора, создать благоприятную среду обитания для людей и животных. 2. Наша деятельность часто зависит от погоды. Погода - это, так сказать, «настроение» атмосферы. Метеорологи используют современные технологии, чтобы составить прогноз погоды. Но природа сама является орудием предсказания погодных изменений. Нам стоит понаблюдать за облаками, поведением животных и растений. Так, если закат красный, то будет ветрено. Зимой голубое небо - к теплу, светлое -к морозу, темное - к бурану. 53 1 Fill in the gaps with the words from the list. broaden explore unique landmarks wondered majestic guided famous Have you ever 1).................... what it was like to live as a Chinese Emperor?

Probably not! Thats why many will end up sick instead of out on the beach. Here are some travel tips to help tourists stay in good health while abroad. First of all, tourists should visit their doctors. Their doctors will see if they need any vaccinations based on where they are going. Traveliers should also make sure they take any required medication and a first-aid kit with them when they travel abroad. In addition, since it is possible for travellers to fall even before they land, they must remember that drinking water and getting exercise during long flights is important. If not, they risk the possibility of developing cramps or even serious health problems. To avoid this, stretching every hour and drinking plenty of fluids is highly recommended. For the most part, it Is important for travellers to watch what they eat and drink while on holiday. At least 20% of tourists get food poisoning. This happens because many make the mistake of believing that what they see on a menu is safe. Tourists need to stick to bottled water and drinks without ice, eat well-cooked foods, choose fruit that hasn't been peeled, and of course keep their hands clean. Moreover, travellers to Asia, Africa and Central and South America should be aware of diseases like malaria that are passed on by insects. They can protect themselves by putting on bug spray. Furthermore, if their rooms don't have air-conditioning, they should consider sleeping under a mosquito net at night. When travelling to exotic places, travellers need to know the possible heatth threats they can face. After all, knowledge is the best way for tourists to protect themselves and stay healthy abroad 1 60 Read the text and mark the statements as T (true) or F (false). 1 While on holiday, travellers always use good judgement when ordering food. Tourists who order peeled fruit, drinks with ice and medium-cooked meat may end up sick. All insects are harmful in Central America. Stretching, at least every hour, is important for passengers booked on long flights. Travellers ought to know the health issues of the countries they are visiting. Choose the sentence which best expresses the main idea. 1 It is important for tourists to watch what they eat and drink. 2 Tourists should know the health risks of the country they are travelling to if they want to stay in good health when abroad. 3 Reading about the possible health risks of every country can protect you. Write questions to which the underlined parts are the answers. 1 Travellers should take any required medication and a first-aid kit with them when they travel abroad. 2 Visit your doctor before travelling abroad tg see which vaccinations vou may need. 3 Passengers who remain in their seats during long flights can develop leg cramps. Answer the questions. 1 Why do many tourists end up sick once on holiday? 2 How can travellers protect themselves? 3 1 Match the pictures 1-4 with the places A-D from the list.

Translate the situations into English: 1. В последнее десятилетие наводнения, засухи, циклоны, цунами и торнадо стали частым явлением. Много людей из разных стран мира пострадало и даже погибло по их причине. Землетрясения в наши дни более опасны, чем в прошлом, так как половина населения планеты живет в городах. Серьезные землетрясения случались в Турции, Греции, Центральной Америке. В 2001 году землетрясение полностью разрушило город Эль-Сальвадор, который в то время восстанавливали жители после сильнейшего урагана 1998 года. Природа как будто мстит нам (turns on us). Мы загрязнили воздух, воду и почву, мы сбрасываем тонны отходов в воду, наши заводы выбрасывают различные газы в атмосферу. Планета становится теплее. В результате более теплый океан порождает разрушительные цунами, циклоны и ураганы. Правительства всех стран должны задуматься, как защитить планету, очистить ее от мусора, создать благоприятную среду обитания для людей и животных. 2. Наша деятельность часто зависит от погоды. Погода - это, так сказать, «настроение» атмосферы. Метеорологи используют современные технологии, чтобы составить прогноз погоды. Но природа сама является орудием предсказания погодных изменений. Нам стоит понаблюдать за облаками, поведением животных и растений. Так, если закат красный, то будет ветрено. Зимой голубое небо - к теплу, светлое -к морозу, темное - к бурану. 53 1 Match the words to form collocations.

There is no doubt that part-time work can be beneficial. B) To begin with, part-time jobs can be great as teens have more financial independence. C) For example, they can buy their own clothes, electronic equipment and entertainment without having to ask their parents for money. D) What is more, it helps their self confidence and gives them terrific work experience. E) On the other hand, there are drawbacks to working while trying to finish secondary school. F) One drawback is that work, study and play can be too much for some teens to handle. All the stress and tiredness may affect their health. G) Also, their grades might suffer because they have little time to study. Teens must also bear in mind that they are young and need time to hang out with friends. H) All in all. studying while working part-time is probably one of the hardest things a teenager will ever do. But. in my opinion, an after-school job can be beneficial as long as the teenager does not work too many hours and learns to balance their free time and study time well. 68 2 Complete the table with linkers from Ex. 1. introduce points list/add points show contrast introduce examples conclude 3 Add the following linkers to the table: finally, moreover, as a result, secondly, one point in favour of, althoush, thirdly, but, despite, some people argue.

There are different kinds of chat rooms such as IRC (Internet Relay Chat) and web page chat rooms. Most of them are used for entertainment purposes only and have cartoon characters that are used to identify frequent users. In monitored chat rooms, programmes either search conversations for bad language or administrators read texts before they are shown online. Consequently, those who misbehave are warned or kicked out! In today's world, over half of teens visit chat rooms. They feel they can talk to others in the virtual world without being judged by their looks or popularity. Unfortunately, some discuss their problems online when, in the real world, they would never ask a stranger for advice! What is more, the same technology that lets teens express themselves also attracts online predators. Online predators are Internet users who use the Internet to have access to children and teenagers. Being SmartI Teens who chat online should remember not to give out personal information, to use a nickname that does not reveal their sex and not to respond to private messages. They should also be careful of users who ask too many questions even if the questions seem innocent. These questions may be asked to trick teens into revealing where they live or go to school. In addition, teens must remember that they are in control and can stop a conversation at anytime, especially if they begin to feel uncomfortable or are suspicious. Teens should avoid meeting online users. However, if they do decide to meet an online user, they should tell their parents beforehand and make sure the meeting is in a public place and under adult supervision Doing a Little Detective Work! If a teen is under threat from an online predator, the police can find the "IP address" of the predator's computer and track him down. An IP address is a unique identifying number that every computer connected to the Internet has. It acts just like a car licence plate and a telephone number: it shows ownership and enables authorities to protect people's safety if needed. 1 2 Read the text.

Translate the situations into English: 1. В Англии еаь дети, которые не ходят в школу, а выбирают домашнее обу-чение/образование. Большинаво родителей таких детей учителя, но это не так важно, так как они пользуются интернет-школой. Интернет предоаав-ляет возможность получать знания, проверять себя, готовиться к экзаменам. Различные компьютерные программы помогают им повторять материал. В Интернете десятки обучающих курсов, дети могут заняться курсом, который им нравится, и продолжать обучение благодаря новым курсам, предлагаемым университетскими профессорами. Однако многие учителя полагают, что самый большой недостаток такого обучения состоит в том, что дети привыкают к компьютеру и все больше общаются в Сети, играют в компьютерные игры, посылают SMS друзьям, реже встречаются с друзьями, так сказать, лицом к лицу. Ученые обеспокоены тем, что школьники проводят все больше времени за компьютером. Но сегодня мы уже не можем обойтись без средств электронной связи. 2. - Привет, Володя.
