Speaker A. I think people love dogs for many different reasons, but the main one, In my opinion, is that people believe their dogs love them. Unlike cats, dogs seem to be very attached to their owners. Of course, there is some question as to the degree to which dogs actually love their humans or merely are responding to them as effect the dominant member of the pack to which the dog belongs. But in either case, there is a feeling of loyalty.

Speaker B. I have a dog and I’m happy about that. I think dogs are the best pets in the world. To start with, they are loyal and friendly. Dogs take a great interest in the people who own them as pets. Moreover, they seem to protect their owners interests to the extent that they are capable of by driving off an attacker, for example, or waking people up if there is a fire in the house, and so on. There are many more pluses. Dogs are just perfect.

Speaker C. As far as I know, some famous person said something like «people like dogs more than people». Well, sometimes dogs really are better companions than people. Dogs have a certain mental simplicity. For example, they don’t lie to their owners and their motives are relatively simple and understandable, and so they are easier to deal with than human beings are. Dogs do not maneuver for status because they just accept that humans are in charge.

Speaker D. I have a dog and most of my friends have dogs too. When we discuss our pets, we understand that dogs are very clever. Well, of course they are less clever than their owners, so we take care of them, much as we would of our own children. Still, in my opinion, dogs are relatively intelligent in comparison to many other animals, such as tropical fish, frogs, lizards and so on. Sometimes, I think my dog understands every word I say. Isn’t it great?

Speaker E. I don’t have a dog because I’m allergic to fur, but I love looking at them. My favourite films are the ones about dogs. They are such beautiful creatures. They are warm, furry and cute, they have soulful eyes, and in some ways remind people of children. I know lots of people who have photos of dogs as their screensavers, or just like cups or clothes with pictures of charming puppies. Your heart is literally melting when you see dogs or small puppies.

Speaker F. I personally think that dogs are not as charming as one might think they are. In my opinion, every dog is dangerous, even those teacup dogs, which girls like to carry in their handbags and boast of them like of fashionable accessories, even though small creatures can bite you and give you serious injuries, so you must be careful if you see a dog. There are many stories in the news about dogs being aggressive towards people for no reason.

City centre parking is expensive and many important roads are now closed to private transport. This would be fine — if public transport was cheap and convenient, but it is neither. The result is that people are avoiding the city centre so restaurants, cinemas and shops are closing.

I am a mother of identical, mirror-image boys — David and John. No one in the family but me can tell them apart. I am constantly amazed at how close they are. Once when they were babies David was ill, but it was John who began crying wildly. I tried to calm John first since I was sure nothing was wrong with him. But he only cried louder. I finally gave up with him and gave some medicine to David — who really was unwell. As soon as John sensed his brother felt better, he immediately settled to sleep — like turning off a switch.
The 12 year old was playing near the Platte River in North Bend, Nebraska. The river was high and as the boy stepped in, the current pushed his legs away. He floated off, spinning in the powerful current. At the last possible moment before the rapids, his yells were heard by his dog. It jumped in, reached the boy and towed him ashore. Another second and the boy would have been swept away to certain death.

Zsa Zsa Gabor was born in Budapest on February 6th, 1917. Now in her 90s she has had a long and varied life. She was a beauty queen and singer before becoming a famous screen actress. Latterly her fame grew from her many public appearances from the 1970’s onwards. She was married 8 times but only had one child with second husband, Conrad Hilton. Her last marriage to Frederic von Anhalt gave her the honorary title Prinzessin von Anhalt.
«Who do you think you are» is one of my favourite TV programs. Each episode researches the family history of a celebrity, back into the mists of time. It gives them a sense, genetically speaking, of who they really are. In the UK there are good records of births, marriages and deaths going back hundreds of years. One of the best episodes was on Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London. He was thrilled when he discovered he was directly related to King George II.
Paris Hilton is a famous socialite, media personality, actress, model and singer. In 2007 her grandfather Barron Hilton pledged 97% of his estate to a charitable foundation founded by his father. A value of more than 2 billion US dollars was cited in press reports. Many now believe that Paris and the other grandchildren have had their potential inheritance sharply reduced. Others have commented that this news was unlikely to place severe limitations on her future life style.
Andy always travels well equipped for any potential possibility. He has a sewing repair kit and a small medical kit with aspirin etc. These are, I suppose, perfectly sensible. But what about a ball of string, tape measure, masking tape, Swiss army penknife, disposable cutlery, disinfectant, dry bags and an inflatable back rest? Andy says you never know what might happen and it’s always best to be prepared.

My dog is a Border Collie called Rags. We have a big garden and Rags is taken for walks mornings and evenings. But he gets lonely during the day. This probably accounts for his mad greeting everyday when we return. He woofs, wags and jumps in a blur of delight — so happy to see that we’re home!
Once a week we get a spelling test and we have to memorise fifty new words. I generally get 45 or more but it is too difficult to get them all. I mean this is on top of all the other homework we have to do. How on earth do they expect us to find the time?

Learning English is a long, slow process. There are mountains of verb tables, forests of vocabulary and wilderness plains of multiple choice questions. The only way to get there quicker is to go and live in the UK for a couple of months. That will do the job nicely!
It was better in the 70s. Our lives weren’t lived attached to mobile phones. There were no speed cameras. The music was brilliant — Glam, Prog and Punk Rock. And the fashion was outrageous.

In Spain 11500 bulls are killed every year in official bull fights. They say it is supposed to be a real match and the matadors risk death at every encounter. This is, of course, nonsense. Really the poor old bull stands no chance of anything other than a slow and painful death. I think it should be banned.

Child Stars

Child star mania is on the rise! Popular shows like Star Search and Junior Idol are always searching for new child stars.

Sometimes the parents of these youngsters are 1 — arguably

pushing their offspring to and beyond their limits; hoping to make their children famous.

Fame can bring great opportunities for the youngsters.

Some go on to earn 2 and fulfilled lives. The truth

however is that the majority do not. Research on the lifestyle of young performers has shown that their childhoods are often dominated by immense pressure and anxiety. Hours of training

and rehearsal combine disastrously 3 and a poor social

life. These vulnerable young people also have to cope with criticism, rejection and intrusive treatment from show

Child stars often have very short careers. It can be

devastating when a particularly cute child 5 and a whole

glittering career is over before they are out of their teens. It is therefore not surprising that so many young child stars end up with huge emotional problems — some derailing their lives through destructive life styles. It can be really difficult for them adjusting from being recognised and wanted by everyone to being completely forgotten and ignored.

So the question is should something be done to curb this mania for young fame? Should the TV programs be severely controlled or even banned? Whatever the answer to these questions, the problems are likely to remain. As long as

Kimbolton School

I went to school in a large village called Kimbolton in the county of I Cambridgeshire. In recent years I have been reminded of my time there l by, strangely enough, the Harry Potter books by J.K. Rowling.

The first and most obvious reason is that Kimbolton is a castle I school; just as Hogwarts is the castle school for Harry and his } friends. Hogwarts is of course filled with ghosts, such as Sir Nicholas de Mimsy Porpington — better known as Nearly Headless Nick: But Kimbolton also has a reputation for being haunted and in fact lays claim to a very famous ghost. This is Katherine of Aragon — the first wife of Henry VIII. She was sent there in April 1534 after refusing to accept the legality of Henry’s divorce proceedings. When I arrived there as a first year in September 1971, I was told that her ghost was often seen — but only from the knees upwards. This, I was j told, was because she walked on the original rather than the later modern floors. I am ashamed to confess that at times we set up j «ghostly» tricks to scare our friends. These usually involved almost invisible fishing lines being used to «mysteriously» open and close cupboards or move chairs.

There are other comparisons to be made however. In Harry Potter’s Hogwarts School there are four «houses»; Gryfinndor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and the dark house, Slytherin. The four houses being named after famous headmasters of Hogwarts’ past. At Kimbolton we also had four houses named for the same reason. They were called Ingram’s, Bailey’s, Dawson’s and Gibbard’s. As 1 recall there were no sinister connotations with any house although probably the Slytherin equivalent was Gibbard’s. At the time Gibbard’s was the house for «day boys» who lived at home and travelled to school each day. The other houses were for the «borders» that lived in the castle. The dayboys were nicknamed «day bugs» and the residents were called «border bugs». I was a day bug.

Раздел 2. Чтение. Третье задание (А15-А21)

There were common rooms and detentions which I suppose all schools still have. But few schools, like Kimbolton, have narrow, long corridors lined with portraits whose eyes seem to follow you round! Mind you — none of our paintings spoke to us as they sometimes do at Hogwarts! Kimbolton also has a fantastic staircase in the castle and huge murals by the Italian Rococo painter Pellegrini.

Apart from the castle, ghosts and houses there were other compari sons to Hogwarts. The teachers (who were called masters) also wore black gowns and addressed us only by our surnames. We pupils had to wear suits and ties to school and actually were not allowed to take our jackets off unless the day was exceptionally hot.

But there were some fairly important differences too. Firstly Kimbolton, at the time I was there, was a school only for boys. It has changed since, but then we had no Hermione Grangers to fight against evil with. We played football and cricket rather than Quidditch and took ‘0’ Levels rather than OWLS. That is «Ordinary» Level exams rather than «Ordinary Wizarding Levels». But still, looking back on it all, I have to say that I, at least, thought the place was rather magical.

IA15 1 The first similarity between the narrator’s school and Hogwarts is that both schools are situated

not far from London.
in an unusual school building.
near a village.
far from pupils’ homes.

Katherine of Aragon became a ghost as Henry VIII murdered her.
the ghost could be scared by moving furniture with a fishing line.
the ghost regularly appeared in the castle at midnight.
the ghost could be seen partially, if at all.

How It Was

Every school holiday we worked on the farms. Often it was pea picking but we also harvested runner beans, potatoes, black currents and strawberries — each in their season. Sometimes we travelled quite a distance to work. The incredible thing, looking back on it, was that our parents never seemed to worry about us. Sure enough there were occasional tales of terrible accidents or of children being attacked or kidnapped — but no one thought about such things then.

We would disappear early, on our bikes, and not return until dark. Just the thought of letting my own kids do the same today gives me kittens. But back then, that’s how it was. All the harvesting was paid for by the bag or the box. The faster you worked, the more you earned. In one 5 week season I earned about J400. That was seriously good money in the 1970s probably the same as my Dad earned. And we knew how to spend. We were always treating ourselves to something. But usually the aim was to pay for a holiday before school started again. Of course we often had family holidays when we were younger. But we kids also took our own holidays. Usually it was camping but my focus was beach holidays. Wales was my favourite locations. Again I still can’t imagine how our parents were brave enough to let us go. I can only assume they were not worried: That and the fact ;that as children they had their own adventures. Both my parents were small children during the war and were evacuated from London to be safe from Hitler’s bombs. They went in the clothes they were wearing plus a small suitcase — sent to unknown (in advance) villages and to the care of strangers. My teenage beach holidays probably seemed a stroll in the park to them and they took our safety for granted.

Nowadays there seems to be a climate of fear around my generation, concerning the safety of our children. Has the world really changed so much? May be it’s just that the media makes us think more about the horrible things that do happen?

Mind you — there was one close shave when I was a kid. It was on 1
one of our Welsh camping holidays. We would have been 15 at the time.
I fell asleep on a floating lilo and got swept out to sea. I was only asleep l
for second and at first was not worried. I began to swim steadily i
pushing the lilo back to the beach — but after 10 minutes, to my horror,
I was no closer to shore. In a panic I jettisoned the lilo so I could swim
properly and then swam with all my strength. After another 10 minutes I
still I made no progress. Then completely irrationally I started worrying <
about sharks. I knew that there are no dangerous sharks there but just
the thought paralyzed me. I told myself not to panic. The sea was really I
calm and I knew that the tide had to change at some point. I also knew j
my friends on the beach would call the coastguard. The shore seemed j
miles away, exhaustion was kicking in and I realized also that I was
cold. Shark fins began to circle in my imagination. I was in despair.
You hear about accidents and drowning at sea but never imagine that
it’s going to be you. I

My rescue was sharp and sudden. Hands on my wrists and ankles and I was swung into the boat. I was absolutely fine when I got back to I shore. I am ashamed to say I lied about my age to prevent my parents S finding out about it all.

By Process of Elimination

«Thank you for agreeing to meet with me here» was all he said for the first few moments. His European accent paused between each word before disappearing into silence. As for the 11 dancers sat around the lounge, there was a clear atmosphere of resentment. Regardless of how famous this detective most undoubtedly was, they all felt this was a matter for the police But there were no police on board and the ship captain’s had requested the detective to conduct an initial investigation.

«I have to tell you» he continued «that I have discovered who the murderer is and can further inform you that the murderer is sat here, amongst us, in this room».

Again there was silence. It had always been unlikely that any of the liner’s other guests had motive or opportunity. From the start it had always been probable that one of the dancers was a murderer.

«I have to admit» he continued «that this case has been more than usually hard on the little grey cells» he tapped his head as he always did when referring to his deductive powers. «Every body in this room had a reason to kill poor Phoebe» he continued. There was no disagreement around the room. Nobody denied that they had hated Phoebe Miller. One way or another Phoebe had made life really difficult for all of them.

The detective began a long and perhaps over detailed summary of all the things he had discovered and soon everybody was quite bored. Some of them began to feel quite sleepy as he went on and on. However their attention was caught by the following words.

«Ladies and gentlemen. Apart from Constance Miller, who was not on stage at the time, the rest of the dancers were performing on stage at the time of the murder. We therefore know that 10 of you are absolutely innocent. I know this because there was no trace of poison in the bottle from which the glass of wine was poured. This means that

someone added the poison after the glass had been poured and that glass was poured …during…the performance.»

He paused enjoying the dramatic effect of his words and continued «By process of elimination you might assume that I am about to accuse the sister — Constance Miller».

«I did not do it» screamed Constance instantly, «X swear 1 did not do it. I hated her but I am innocent».

**I do know, Constance, that you are not guilty of this crime» he continued but was drowned out by all the dancers’ exclamations of confusion and bewilderment. He held up his hand and continued slowly but forcefully «but I can assure you dear lady that the murderer is in this room and is seated directly behind you». There was a gasp as everyone turned to stare at the middle-aged waitress sat at the back of the room next to the other staff. «Probably none of you know even her name but I have discovered this. She is not Sally Watkins as she is known to the crew of this ship — but Sally Miller — the wife of George Miller who was the uncle of Constance and Phoebe. Sally I can assure you had the opportunity to handle that glass but most of all, as I will now demonstrate to you, she had the motive: Revenge!»

[A15J The eleven dancers were resentful because

they had not been allowed to perform for three days.
their colleague had been murdered.
they would have preferred a police investigation.
they didn’t like the ship’s captain.

| A16 | The famous detective was conducting the case because

they would soon be in Southampton.
four ships’ officers were available to make an arrest.
the ship was still at sea.
the captain had asked him to.

No one disagreed when they heard the murderer was in the room because

they all had been jealous of Phoebe.

the murder must have been committed by somebody on board.
the case had been unusually difficult to solve.

Sarah

Clare

She had no intention whatsoever of going to the mainland like many of her friends (who thought she was mad). But Scotland meant nothing to her. She may have been just sixteen years old but she was a Shetland Islander: daughter, granddaughter and great granddaughter to A to her beloved family.

She had no illusions whatsoever. Her friends were correct in this: crofting is hard work and to succeed required all the God given hours of day. Short winter shifts to seemingly endless summer days were filled B routines — just to survive. They would never be rich.

Clare’s family worked a croft (a piece of land) of almost 8 hectares. It was better than average growing land with fine views C. A small part was preserved for taking peat and the largest part for growing fruit and vegetables: strawberries under tunnels of polythene, winter potatoes and cabbage. D they kept sheep and from time to time goats. They even tried pigs once but this wasn’t a success.

Of course — E— the croft did not provide enough. Her father and brother were part-time professional fisherman and all of the family had various part-time jobs to make ends meet.

Probably there was an easier life for Clare in Scotland — or, God forbid, F. But having just finished school her decision was made. This was her home; all that she knew and all that she loved.

Reality TV

Reality TV seems to dominate broadcasting these days. But what is it, how did it emerge and why on earth is it so popular? The first question is easily answered. Reality TV is A unscripted, dramatic or humorous situations or events. It can involve celebrities B of the public.

Reality TV has been gradually growing in importance for over 60 years. “Candid Camera” — the show that filmed ordinary people reacting to set ups and pranks — started in 1948. Some people, however, believe it was the Japanese with their awful shows in the 1980s and 90s C. Others believe that the television phenomenon that is called “Big Brother” was the show that spawned the reality TV age.

But why are the shows so popular? Different theories come to life. Some believe that it is due Dthat we like to watch horrible behaviour: the same instinct

That once inspired the ancient Romans to go and watch gladiators destroy each other at the Coliseum. Others suggest a kind of voyeurism is involved there — an unhealthy curiosity to spy on other people’s lives.

Whatever the real reason — the trend seems to have already peaked. A lot of such shows E. or are expected to go in the near future.

Some of his friends were working three or even four days a week. Mike didn’t understand how they could cope with their course work. But a weekend job B To study. It was ideal.

He picked up the form again. If successful, he’d have to help with a touring market, selling soap products. He’d travel C And work from 5.00 Am Saturday until late Sunday night — depending how far away the market was that weekend.

Again he put the form down, scanned the pages once more, and got his pen ready. He was still anxious. For a start, he only had one copy. If he made a spelling mistake D. For a moment he considered trying to create a replica form on his computer. “Why on earth” he pondered aloud “do they use paper and ink for this?” Jim overheard him. “Because it is a real test Mike — everybody faces the same form. Tidy, easily readable handwriting tells an employer quite a lot about the candidate applying for the job. If a form comes in smudged, with too many words E, mistakes crossed out etc — an employer will know so much more about who is applying for a job. Online applications all look the same.”

“I suppose so” — said Mike, yet again picking up and scrutinizing the form “but it’s only a job selling soap in markets — not working for the Civil Service!”

“Whatever!” laughed Jim. “My advice is to photocopy the form and do two or three practice runs. You need this job right? Ok — then take time F”.
