My room faces the sun in the morning and on clear summer mornings ответы егэ - Помощь в подготовке к экзаменам и поступлению

My room faces the sun in the morning and on clear summer mornings it wakes me up bright and fresh, no matter what time I stayed up till. I get up and make breakfast, watch TV, have a shower. If it’s before six in the morning, I usually have a cup of tea and go back to bed where I’ll doze until seven. If I stay at my sister’s, I sleep until the kids wake me or until she comes rolling in, poured from the back of some taxi, whichever is earlier. I’m an early riser, and a dead sleeper.

This morning I wake up with a twitch, like the alarm clock in my head has given me a little electric jolt. It isn’t sunny outside. I pull back the curtains and the sky is dark grey, the same colour as the sea and it looks like the sun won’t appear before tomorrow. Today is Dad’s birthday. Every year on my Dad’s birthday I draw a picture of him and each year he looks a bit different. I’m an artist. There, I said it. It’s not that I draw a straighter line or a truer circle, as they try to teach us to do at school. I just get the message across more clearly than other people. More truthfully. I know it.

I read a lot of books too, mainly about artists, and I go through phases when I like a certain artist or a movement. And I try to paint like them. When my dad comes back, I’ll be able to say ‘this is you when I was twelve and I was in love with Monet’ or ‘this is you on your thirty-eighth birthday, when I was fourteen and I wanted to paint like Dante Gabriel Rossetti.’ And he’ll look at each painting and know that I loved him and never forgot him.

At the moment I’m into lines, simple lines. It’s a development of a six month obsession I had with calligraphy, which came out of a phase I had with cartoons, which came from Liechtenstein and Warhol, and so on all the way back. So I get out my charcoals, and a couple of sticks of chalk and I pin a heavy sheet of grey A3 paper onto a board and rest it on my knee as I sit on the bed.

On Saturday mornings when my Mum worked, he’d take me to town and I’d drag him around the art shops. On my eighth birthday he bought me an easel, a real one, not a kiddie’s. On my ninth birthday he bought me oils. On my sixth birthday he bought me a box of 99 crayons. ‘Draw me,’ he’d say. ‘Oh, Dad, I can’t.’ Some mornings I’d wake up and there’d be a book on my pillow about Picasso, or Chagall.

I should go to school, I really should. I’m not one of those kids who are scared to go. I don’t get bullied and I’m not thick. I just can’t find a good reason to waste my day in a classroom studying physics or citizenship or Buddhism. I could learn them in the library. Phil, the head of year eleven, will bollock me for it tomorrow, if I go in. I’ll tell Phil the truth, it was my Dad’s birthday and I spent it with him.

So I spend some time thinking about his hair, which I think is probably no more grey than it was last year. I know hair doesn’t age at the same speed every year, but I make his hair longer this year. And in my mind’s eye I give him an extra few pounds too. But I keep the smile fixed in my head, maybe a little muted, like it is when he’s happy but distracted, or trying to understand me when I’m babbling to him.

It’s head and shoulders, so I’ll put him in a T-shirt that shows his neck and throat and how strong he is and how his eyes sparkle and how his eyebrows are dead level straight and still black. I try to think of how much I want to show and how much I want to tell. Then I pick up a charcoal stick and do it. I pick up a chalk to add a suggestion of colour to his eyes, then another chalk for his mouth. And there he is. Dad.

Lazy summer days vs. landscapers
Whether you’re a first grader proud of the fact you survived your first year of full-day education or a grad student desperate for a study break, summer vacation means one thing to everybody: sleeping in on weekday mornings. There is no alarm to hit at 6:30 and no bus to chase after. And while days might be filled with summer jobs and day camp, those never seem to start quite as early.
So why is there a conspiracy working against students the minute the final bell rings and the last exam is turned in? And the culprit is visible in any given apartment complex, condo community or public park: landscapers.
I ave lived in many towns and in homes of different shapes and sizes in my short, 23 years on Earth. And yet, no matter where I call home, I am faced with the same hardship: trying to sleep in on lazy, summer mornings while the lawn mowers are hard at work on public and private yards.
The townhouse neighborhood I called home when I was a little girl was a jam-packed street. We had more than 250 houses on my block alone. One of the things my mom loved about that house was its tiny yard.
My mother does not have a green bone in her body. She has killed every herb garden my sister and I have ever given her. So my mother was thrilled that our front yard was the size of a postage stamp. It, like every other yard on the block, only needed to be trimmed once a month to look good. And yet, every Monday and Thursday at 7:30 a.m., the city-contracted landscaping team would drive down our street and unload two or three industrial mowers and go to work on the little patches of public grass around mail boxes and trees.
Later, when I moved to Michigan, my family and I lived in a condominium complex our first year. As part of the deal, every yard was landscaped with big bushes and tulip patches. But to keep the yards all looking nice and healthy, the owners had full-time landscapers keep up with the maintenance. My mother was thrilled to have a full garden without worrying about killing each plant one by one.
Never having to before, I was thrilled I didn’t have to mow this new yard that was 100 times bigger than the postage stamp one we had before. But I was not so thrilled when the mowers showed up on Saturday mornings. Saturdays! Were they serious? Mowing every yard on the street starting at 7 a.m. on a Saturday.
As an adult out on my own, I like that apartments don’t come with yards I have to maintain. I am just getting the hang of remembering to buy groceries and having my own mailbox to check. If I had to add watering flowers to my to-do list, I would forget. But what I’m not so thrilled about is that Friday mornings is my building’s scheduled mowing day. I live on the first floor of my building, with no way to muffle the roar of the mower against the side of the building when it is directly outside my window. No sleep for me.
I am not so selfish that I don’t understand why mowers work in the morning. Landscapers have multiple customers to serve on any given day, and the earlier they start the earlier they can be done. Plus, it is cooler in the morning, and preferable, rather than at noon when the sun is high in the sky. But students work hard all year and look forward to a break from books, tests and alarm clocks.
So, in order to find a common ground between landscapers and students, I send this challenge out into the universe: whoever can build a silent lawn mower will get my undying gratitude, love and affection and whatever else they want, I promise!

2. Important Conclusion
3. Useful Advice
4. Significant Difference

5. Health Risks
6. Moderation Is the Key!
7. Diet and Exercise
8. Benefits of Good Nutrition

A. Developing healthy eating habits is simpler and easier than you might think. You will look and feel better if you make a habit of eating healthfully. You will have more energy and your immune system will be stronger. When you eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables you are lowering your risk of heart disease, cancers and many other serious health ailments. Healthy eating habits are your ticket to a healthier body and mind.

B. A four-week clinical trial that tested the new regimen found that overweight adults who consumed a high-protein, entirely vegan diet were able to lose about the same amount of weight as a comparison group of dieters on a high-carbohydrate, low-fat vegetarian dairy diet. But while those on the high-carbohydrate dairy diet experienced drops of 12 percent in their cholesterol, those on the high-protein vegan diet saw cholesterol reductions of 20 percent.

C. ‘The idea preyed on me for a long time. If the Atkins Diet looks good, and it’s got so much saturated fat and cholesterol in it, suppose we took that out and put vegetarian protein sources in, which may lower cholesterol,’ Dr. Jenkins said. ‘We know that nuts lower cholesterol and prevent heart disease, and soy is eaten in the Far East, where they don’t get much heart disease. So we put these foods together as protein and fat sources.’

D. The first official warning about the dangers of the Atkins diet was issued by the government amid concern about the rising number of people opting for the high-fat, high-protein diet. Cutting out starchy foods can be bad for your health because you could be missing out on a range of nutrients. Low-carbohydrate diets tend to be high in fat, and this could increase your chances of developing coronary heart disease.

E. Earlier this year, a large study that compared different kinds of diets — including low-fat and low-carbohydrate plans — found that the method didn’t matter as long as people cut calories. That study also found that after two years, most people had regained at least some of the weight they had lost. Dr. Tuttle said that while different weight loss plans offer people different ‘tricks’ and strategies, ultimately, ‘It really comes down to calories in and calories out.’

F. When you think about nutrition, be aware of serving sizes. Many people will eat everything on their plate, regardless of how hungry they actually are. If you know you tend to clean your plate, make an effort to reduce your serving size. If you’re eating out or dining at a friend’s house, don’t be shy about asking for smaller portion sizes. Too much of any one food is a bad thing. There are no bad foods, just bad eating habits.

G. Your body has to stay well hydrated to perform at its best and to properly process all the nutrients in the food you eat. Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. You may need even more water if you are in a hot environment or if you are exercising. If you are trying to lose weight, add plenty of ice to each glass of water. Your body will burn energy to warm the water up to body temperature.

Stonehenge is probably the most important prehistoric monument in Britain. The Stonehenge that we see today is the final stage A ____________. But first let us look back 5,000 years.

The first Stonehenge was a large earthwork or Henge, comprising a ditch, bank, and the Aubrey holes, all probably built around 3100 BC. The Aubrey holes are round pits in the chalk, about one metre wide and deep, B ____________. Excavations have revealed cremated human bones in some of the chalk filling, but the holes themselves were probably made not for the purpose of graves but as part of the religious ceremony. Shortly after this stage Stonehenge was abandoned, left untouched for over 1000 years.

The second and most dramatic stage of Stonehenge started around 2150 BC. Some 82 bluestones from south-west Wales were transported to the site. It is thought that these stones, some weighing 4 tonnes each, were dragged on rollers and sledges to the headwaters and then loaded onto rafts. This astonishing journey covered nearly 240 miles. Once at the site, these stones were set up in the centre C ____________.

The third stage of Stonehenge, about 2000 BC, saw the arrival of the Sarsen stones. The largest of the Sarsen stones weigh 50 tonnes and transportation by water would have been impossible D ____________. These stones were arranged in an outer circle with a continuous run of lintels. Inside the circle, five trilithons were placed in a horseshoe arrangement, E ____________.

The final stage took place soon after 1500 BC F ____________. The original number of stones in the bluestone circle was probably around sixty. They have long since been removed or broken up. Some remain only as stumps below ground level.

when the bluestones were rearranged in the horseshoe and circle that we see today
to form an incomplete double circle
which form a circle about 284 feet in diameter
which were almost certainly brought from the Marlborough Downs
so the stones could only have been moved using sledges and ropes
whose remains we can still see today
that was completed about 3,500 years ago

My room faces the sun in the morning and on clear summer mornings it wakes me bright and fresh, no matter what time I stayed up till. I get up and make breakfast, watch TV, have a shower. If it’s before six in the morning, I usually have a cup of tea and go back to bed where I’ll doze until seven.If I stay at my sister’s, I sleep until the kids wake me or until she comes rolling in, poured from the back of some taxi, whichever is earlier. I’m an early riser, and a dead sleeper.

This morning I wake up with a twitch, like the alarm clock in my head has given me a little electric jolt. it isn’t sunny outside. I pull back the curtains and the sky is dark grey, the same colour as the sea and it looks like the sun won’t appear before tomorrow. Today is dad’s birthday. Every year on my Dad’s birthday I draw a picture of him and each year he looks a bit different. I’m an artist. There, I said it. It’s not that I draw a straighter line or a truer circle, as they try to teach us to do at school. I just get the message across more clearly than other people. More truthfully. I know it.

I read a lot of books too, mainly about artists, and I go through phases when I like a certain artist or a movement. And I try to paint like them. When my dad comes back, I’ll be able to say ‘this is you when I was twelve and I was in love with Monet’ or ‘this is you on your thirty-eighth birthday, when I was fourteen, and you’d been gone five years, and I wanted to paint like Dante Gabriel Rossetti.’ And he’ll look at each painting and know that I loved him and never forgot him.

On Saturday mornings when my mam worked he’d take me to town and I’d drag him around the art shops. On my eighth birthday he bought me an easel, a real one, not a kiddie’s. On my ninth birthday he bought me oils. On my sixth birthday he bought me a box of 99 crayons.’Draw me,’ he’d say.’Oh, Dad, I can’t.’Some mornings I’d wake up and there’d be a book on my pillow about Picasso, or Chagall.

I should go to school, I really should. I’m not one of those kids who are scared to go. I don’t get bullied and I’m not thick. I just can’t find a good reason to waste my day in a classroom studying physics or citizenship or Buddhism. I could learn that shit in a library. Phil, the head of year eleven, will bollock me for it tomorrow, if I go in. I’ll tell Phil the truth, it was my Dad’s birthday and I spent it with him.

It’s head and shoulders, so I’ll put him in a T-shirt that shows his neck and throat and how strong he is and how his eyes sparkle and how his brows are dead level straight and still black. I try to think of how much I want to show and how much I want to tell. Then I pick up a charcoal stick and do it. I pick up a chalk to add a suggestion of colour to his eyes, then another chalk for his mouth. And there he is. Dad.

Моя комната выходит солнце утром и по утрам ясно летом он будит меня яркий и свежий, независимо от того, сколько времени я пробыл до. Я встаю и сделать завтрак, смотреть телевизор, есть душ. Если это до шести утра, я обычно чашку чая и вернуться к кровати, где я буду дремлют до семи.Если я останусь в моей сестры, я спать, до тех пор, пока дети разбудить меня или до тех пор, пока она придет, переходящего в, вылил из задней части некоторых такси, наступит раньше. Я рано вставать и мертвые спальное место. Сегодня утром я просыпаюсь с дергаться, как будильник в моей голове дал мне маленький электрический толчок. Это не Солнечный снаружи. Я тянуть обратно шторы и небо темно-серая, того же цвета, как на море и он выглядит как солнце не будет появляться до завтра. Сегодня-день рождения Папы. Каждый год в день рождения моего отца, я рисую картину его и каждый год он выглядит немного иначе. Я художник. Там я сказал он. Это не что я сделать прямее линии или вернее круг, как они пытаются научить нас делать в школе. Я просто получаю сообщение через более четко, чем другие люди. Более правдиво. Я это знаю. Я читал много книг тоже, главным образом о художниках, и я иду через фазы, когда мне нравится определенный исполнитель или движения. И я стараюсь писать как они. Когда мой отец возвращается, я смогу сказать: это вы когда мне было двенадцать лет, и я был влюблен с Моне’ или «это вы на тридцать восьмой день рождения, когда мне было четырнадцать лет, и вы были прошло пять лет, и я хотел, чтобы нарисовать как Dante Gabriel Россетти.» И он будет смотреть на каждой картины и знаю, что я любила его и никогда не забыл его. На данный момент я в линии, простые линии. Это развитие шестимесячного одержимость, которую я имел с каллиграфией, который вышел из фазы, которые я имел с карикатур, которые пришли из Лихтенштейна и Уорхола и так далее, всю дорогу обратно. Так что я выйти мой уголь и пару палочек мела и я прикрепить тяжелый лист серой бумаги A3 на доске и остальные его на колени, как я сижу на кровати. В субботу утром, когда моя мам работал он будет считать меня в город, и перетащите его вокруг магазины искусства. На мой восьмой день рождения он купил мне мольберт, реальный один, не детский. На мой девятый день рождения он купил мне масла. Мой шестой день рождения, он купил мне коробку из 99 карандашами. «Нарисуй’, он имел сказать.’ ах, папа, я не могу.»Иногда по утрам я просыпаюсь и там бы книгу на моей подушке о Пикассо, Шагал. Я должен идти в школу, я действительно должен. Я не один из тех детей, которые боятся идти. Я не получить издеваются, и я не толстый. Я просто не могу найти хороший повод тратить свой день в классе, изучая физику или гражданства или буддизм. Я мог бы узнать что дерьмо в библиотеке. Phil, глава, года, одиннадцать, будет bollock меня за это завтра, если я иду. Я скажу Phil правду, это был день рождения моего отца и я провел его с ним. Поэтому я потратить некоторое время на размышления о его волосы, которые я думаю, это вероятно не более серый, чем это было в прошлом году. Я знаю, волосы не возраст с той же скоростью каждый год, но я делаю его волосы дольше в этом году. И в моем воображении я дать ему несколько дополнительных фунтов тоже. Но я держать улыбку, зафиксированные в моей голове, может быть немного приглушенный, как это, когда он счастлив, но отвлекаться или пытаясь понять меня, когда я лепет ему. Это в голову и плечи, поэтому я положу его в футболку, которая показывает его шеи и горла и насколько сильно он и как его глаза сверкают и как его брови мертвы уровне прямо и по-прежнему черный. Я стараюсь думать о том, как много я хочу показать и сколько я хочу рассказать. Затем подобрать уголь палку и сделать это. Я подбираю мела добавить предложение цвета его глаза, потом еще Мел для его рот. И он есть. Папа.

Моя комната сталкивается с солнцем утром и на ясный летний утрам будит меня ярким и свежим, независимо от того , в какое время я остался до сих; Я встану и приготовить завтрак, смотреть телевизор, есть душ. Если это раньше шести утра я обычно выпить чашку чая и вернуться в постель , где я буду дремать до семи часов и после с толстой головой.

Если я останусь в I сна моей сестры , пока дети не разбудить меня , или пока она не придет переходящего в, наливают из задней части некоторого такси, что наступит раньше. Я рано вставать, и мертвый шпалу.

Этим утром я просыпаюсь с дергаться, как будильник в моей голове дал мне немного электрический толчок; это не солнечный снаружи, я тяну занавески и небо темно — серого цвета, такой же цвет , как море , и, похоже , что солнце не будет появляться до завтра.

Я встаю и иду вниз по лестнице; зал часы говорит мне , что это почти шесть тридцать. Я делаю чай и тосты, залить хлопья и молоко в миску, положить все это на поднос и взять его обратно к моей кровати.

Мой брат встает на работу , и я слышу , как он разбивая о в ванной комнате так что я иду вниз , чтобы сделать ему чашку чая. Он внизу на кухне около пяти минут спустя, одетый в рабочую одежду, глаза закрыты в основном на фоне утреннего, волосы либо торчат , где он не должен или штукатуркой вниз на ночь на подушку. Он спит на левом боку в основном, у него есть складки на левой стороне его лица и волосы на той стороне его головы является самым из строя.

«Утро». Я говорю.

«Угу.»

Я оставляю его на работу, что он собирается съесть и вернуться в свою комнату , где я заканчиваю свой чай и тосты, включите радио и вернуться под одеялом. Иногда мне нравится думать , что и другие времена , я люблю мчаться прямо.

<2>
Этим утром я хочу думать некоторое время.

Сегодня день рождения отца; Мам не упоминать об этом. Мой брат может, просто , чтобы вызвать строку, так что я буду держать его сладким , когда он приходит с работы. Каждый год в день рождения моего отца, я рисую картину его; Каждый год он выглядит немного по- другому. Я художник. Там, я сказал это. Это не значит, что я рисую линию ровнее или правдивую круг, так как они пытаются научить нас делать в школе. Я просто получить сообщение через более ясно , чем другие люди. Правдивее. Я это знаю.

Я читал много книг тоже, в основном , о художниках, и я иду через фазы , когда мне нравится определенная группа или движение. И я стараюсь рисовать как они. Когда мой папа вернется , я смогу сказать : «это вам , когда мне было двенадцать лет , и я был влюблен в Monet ‘или’ это вас на тридцать восьмой день рождения, когда мне было четырнадцать, и вы были прошло пять лет, и я хотел рисовать как Данте Габриэль Россетти. И он будет смотреть на каждую картину и знать , что я любила его и никогда не забывал его. В

прошлом году я напечатал футболки, продал большинство из них в школе, некоторые я убедил Кендру продать для меня. Парень на пляже носит некоторые из них .

На данный момент я нахожусь в линии, простые линии. Это развитие шести месяцев у меня была навязчивая идея с каллиграфией, который вышел из фазы я имел с карикатурами, который пришел из Лихтенштейна и Уорхола, и так далее по всем обратном пути. Так что я получаю мои древесный уголь, и пару палочек мела и я придавить тяжелый лист серого A3 бумаги на доске и оставьте ее на моем колене , как я сижу на кровати.

В субботу утром , когда моя мама работала он отвезти меня в город , и я бы тащить его вокруг художественных магазинов. На мой восьмой день рождения он купил мне мольберт, а настоящий, не деточки — х. На мой девятый день рождения он купил мне масла. На мой шестой день рождения он купил мне коробку 99 цветных карандашей.

<3>
«Нарисовать меня» , он бы сказал.

«Aw папа, я не могу.»

Иногда по утрам я просыпался и не было бы книги на моей подушке о Пикассо или Шагала.

Я должен идти в школу, я действительно должен. Я не один из тех детей , которые боятся идти; Я не фобия , или что — нибудь. Я не получаю издевались , и я не толстая. Я просто не могу найти хороший повод , чтобы тратить мой день в классе изучения физики или гражданства или буддизм. Я мог бы узнать , что дерьмо в библиотеке. Фил, глава одиннадцати года будет bollock меня за это завтра, если я пойду в. Через два месяца я получил мои экзамены. Мы заключили сделку, я обещал пойти и он сказал , что это квадрат с EWO.

Я скажу Фил правда, это был день рождения моего отца , и я провел его с ним.

Так что я провожу некоторое время на обдумывание о его волосы, которые я не думаю , что это , вероятно , не более серым , чем это было в прошлом году; Я знаю , что волосы не стареет с той же скоростью каждый год, но я делаю его волосы уже в этом году. И в моем воображении я даю ему несколько лишних фунтов тоже. Но я продолжаю улыбаться зафиксированный в моей голове, может быть, немного приглушенным, как это , когда он счастлив , но отвлекается, или пытается понять меня , когда я болтал с ним.

Это голова и плечи, так что я посажу его в футболка , которая показывает его шею и горло , и как он сильный и как его глаза искрятся и как его брови мертвы уровень прямой и еще черные.

Я стараюсь думать о том , сколько я хочу показать и сколько я хочу сказать.

Тогда я подобрать уголь палку и сделать это. Я поднимаю мел , чтобы добавить предложение цвета его глаз, потом другой мел для его рта.

<4>
И вот он.

Папа.

Там вы.

On 25 October 1881 a little boy was born in Malaga, Spain. It was a difficult birth and to help him breathe, cigar smoke was blown into his nose! But despite being the youngest ever smoker, this baby grew up to be one of the 20th century’s greatest painters — Pablo Picasso.

Picasso showed his truly exceptional talent from a very young age. His first word was Iapiz (Spanish for Pencil) and he learned to draw before he could talk.

He was the only son in the family and very good-looking, A. He hated school and often refused to go unless his doting parents allowed him to take one of his father’s pet pigeons with him!

Apart from pigeons, his great love was art, and when in 1891 his father, who was an amateur artist, got a job as a drawing teacher at a college, Pablo went with him to the college. He often watched his father painting and sometimes was allowed to help. One evening his father was painting a picture of their pigeons B∙ He returned to find that Pablo had completed the picture, and it was so amazingly beautiful and lifelike that he gave his son his own palette and brushes and never painted again. Pablo was just 13.

From then onwards there was no stopping him. Many people realized that he was a genius but he disappointed those C.

He was always breaking the rules of artistic tradition and shocked the public with his strange and powerful pictures. He is probably best known for his ‘Cubist’ pictures, D. His paintings of people were often made up of triangles and squares with their features in the wrong place. His work changed our ideas about art E. Guernica, which he painted in 1937, records the bombing of that little Basque town during the Spanish Civil War, and is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces of modern painting.

Picasso died of heart failure during an attack Ofinfluenza in 1973. The artist created over 6,000 paintings, drawings and sculptures. Today a ‘Picasso’ costs several million pounds, F.

This morning I wake up with a twitch, like the alarm clock in my head has given me a little electric jolt. It isn’t sunny outside. 1 pull back the curtains and the sky is’dark grey, the same colour as the sea and it looks like the sun won’t appear before tomorrow. Today is Dad’s birthday. Every year on my Dad’s birthday 1 draw a picture of him and each year he looks a bit different. I’m an artist. There, I said it. It’s not that I draw a straighter line or a truer circle, as they try to teach us to do at school. 1 just get the message across more clearly than other people. More truthfully. I know it.

I read a lot of books too, mainly about artists, and I go through phases when I like a certain artist or a movement. And I try to paint like them. When my dad comes back, 1’11 be able to say ‘this is you when I was twelve and I was in love with Monet’ or ‘this is you on your thirty-eighth birthday, when I was fourteen and I wanted to paint like Dante Gabriel Rossetti.’ And he’ll look at each painting and know that I loved him and never forgot him.

At the moment Γm into lines, simple lines. It’s a development of. a six month obsession I had with calligraphy, which came out of a phase I had with cartoons, which came from Liechtenstein and Warhol, and so on all the way back. So I get out my charcoals, and a couple of sticks of chalk and 1 pin a heavy sheet of grey A3 paper onto a board and rest it on my knee as 1 sit on the bed.

On Saturday mornings when my Mum worked, he’d take me to town and Γd drag him around the art shops. On my eighth birthday he bought me an easel, a real one, not a kiddie’s. On my ninth birthday he bought me oils. On my sixth birthday he bought me a box of 99 crayons. ‘Draw me,’ he’d say. ‘Oh, Dad, I can’t.’ Some mornings I’d wake up and there’d be a book on my pillow about Picasso, or Chagall.

I should go to school, 1 really should. Γm not one of those kids who are scared to go. I Don’t get bullied and Γm not thick. 1 Just can’t find a good reason to waste my day in a classroom studying physics or citizenship or Buddhism. I could learn them in the library. Phil, the head of year eleven, will bollock me for it tomorrow, if I go in. I’ll tell Phil the truth, it was my Dad’s birthday and I spent it with him.

So I spend some time thinking about his hair, which I think is probably no more grey than it was last year. I know hair doesn’t age at the same speed every year, but I make his hair longer this year. And in my mind’s eye I give him an extra few pounds too. But 1 keep the smile fixed in my head, maybe a little muted, like it is when he’s happy but distracted, or trying to understand me when Γm babbling to him.

3.3. Прочитайте вариант ответа учащегося. Выделите в каждом абзаце аргументы, которые учащийся использовал для обоснования своего ответа.

I I think people enjoy music for various reasons. First of all, I music reflects our mood and emotions; it appeals to our hearts I and transforms our feelings. Music is beauty in sounds; it’s our

I magic source of inspiration. Besides, listening to music is the per — feet way to relax after a hard day and not to feel bored. That’s why

; you can hardly find a person who doesn’t like or need music, who ; never sings or dances.

I Music is very important for teenagers, even more important I than films dr TV. Our generation is very diverse, and that’s re — ; fleeted by our musical tastes. So teens’ musical interests range ; from pop and rock music, which are extremely popular nowa — ; days, to rap and hip-hop. Although many young people today are I gravitating towards new rhythms so as to express their individual — • ity, teenagers can also look back and appreciate a wide variety of ; influences from the past. That’s backed up by the fact that teens ; often borrow their parents’ CDs to listen to.

I My favourite style of music is pop music because it is breath — I taking and full of energy. When I listen to pop music, it makes me • remember happy times and forget my everyday problems. It helps ; me to relax, when I’m tired and entertains me when Γd like to ; have fun. This style of music is catchy and I like catching tunes. I They make me more energetic. The music I hate is heavy metal. I I find it noisy and dreadful. To my mind too loud music can • destroy our ears.

; My favourite group is ABBA. Their most famous songs such as ; ‘Waterloo’, and ‘Money, Money, Money’ often topped European

I charts. Though the group doesn’t exist anymore, it is still popular

I with people of all ages. I can’t but admire their style of singing be-

; cause I find it fascinating and overwhelming. When 1 have free time,

; I can’t help listening to their records. In addition, their songs

I are very tuneful and I use them as background music while 1 am

Z working.

> why people enjoy art

> what art galleries you enjoy, why

> whether you understand modern art, why∕why not

> what artists you admire, why

Время говорения 1,5—2 минуты.

Вы можете воспользоваться идеями и аргументами, приведенными в таблице, или придумать свои собственные. Не забудьте логически связать свои аргументы вводными словами, а также употребить фразы-клише для выражения собственного мнения.

Why people enjoy art

• Art is, and has always been, in the service of man. Subconsciously or not, it affects us in many different ways.

• Art can be a great source of pleasure in our lives and even a passing acquaintance with art can enrich and deepen our understanding of the world around us. A piece of artwork may invoke a gamut of feelings and emotions starting from a smile all the way to downright indignation!

• Art gives people an opportunity to show their individuality. For example, we collect works of art because they allow us to express ourselves and represent who we are.

• For artists, art is the expression of their heart. With art they can relive their inner emotions and allow the world to enjoy and share their feelings and thoughts.

What art galleries you enjoy, why

• I enjoy Russian art, that’s why the State Tretyakov Gallery is one of my most favourite art museums. It is a treasure house of Russian paintings, which contains over 100 thousand works of art. There we can see paintings of outstanding Russian artists such as Repin, Vasnetsov, Shishkin, Surikov, Korovin, etc.

• It’s one of the top attractions in the city.

• I particularly love this gallery because it impresses me by the unique combination of the past and the present.

• My favourite picture is ‘Trinity’ by Andrew Rublev and it’s displayed in the Tretyakov Gallery. Its composition and colour design instil beauty and harmony. I think it’s a real masterpiece.

Окончание табл.

Whether you understand modern art, why∕why not

• I appreciate classic art, but I have trouble understanding paintings when it comes to modern art. When I come to a gallery and see a canvas with a black dot on it, I don’t understand how this can be appreciated. For example, when I look at some Jackson Pollock pieces, I just see paint splattered on a canvas and I don’t get it why it’s considered to be art.

• A friend of mine, who is keen on modern art, says we should not look for meaning but for pleasure, as the most important thing is to enjoy the shapes and colours. Perhaps, she is right but I still find modern pictures difficult to appreciate as I can’t find pleasure in primitive shapes.

What artists you admire, why

• Without doubt, my favourite artist is Ivan Shishkin, who was one of the most important 19th century Russian landscape painters. His works are notable for poetic depiction of seasons in the woods, wild nature, animals and birds.

• I enjoy his paintings because of his masterful use of colour and life, for his loving depiction of Russian nature and the positive and life-affirming style.

• I’m particularly captivated by an arresting naturalism of his landscapes. One of my favourite pictures by Shishkin is ‘Morning in a pine forest’, which is a marvellous pictorial fantasy that goes beyond the pure realism developed by many other Russian painters of this period. In my opinion, honesty and realism are the picture’s most carrying force.

Christmas shopping
Crime at Christmas
Christmas traditions
Christmas – a family celebration
Christmas in Russia
Christmas dinner
Christmas weather
New year’s celebrations

There are a lot of traditions connected with Christmas but perhaps the most important one is the giving of presents. Family members wrap up their gifts and leave them at the bottom of the Christmas tree to be found on Christmas morning. Children leave a long sock or stocking at the end of their beds on Christmas Eve, 24th December, hoping that Father Christmas will come down the chimney during the night and bring them small presents, fruit and nuts.
At some time on Christmas day the family will sit down to a big turkey dinner followed by Christmas pudding or Christmas cake. As for Christmas cake, heavy and overfilling it is not to everybody’s taste. To make things worse, it takes weeks to make and when it is ready it can last until Easter, so if you don’t like it, you have to try and eat some at Christmas to avoid being haunted by it months after.
Officially Christmas and New Year celebrations run from the 24th of December to the 2nd of January. However, for many Brits the Christmas marathon starts as early as the beginning of October with the first festive adverts on TV. The idea of Christmas shopping is that you spend as much money as you can on anything you cast your eyes on, preferably something neither you nor your family or friends will ever use. An average British family spends 670 pounds or more around the Christmas period.
Long live Christmas! -say pickpockets, car thieves and burglars getting their share of Christmas shopping. Every year thousands of people get their wallets stolen in overcrowded shops and streets. Lots of lovely presents, which somebody spent so much time and money on, disappear without a trace when cars and homes are broken into. As much as 9% of people experience a burglary in December.
Who doesn’t want to have a white Christmas? Playing snowballs and making a snowman with the whole family on Christmas Day is most people’s dream (apart from the countries like Australia that celebrate Christmas in summer, on the beach). This dream is more likely to come true in northern countries like Russia, but for the British people it’s different. Although it’s not uncommon to get some snow in Scotland and northern England, the rest of Britain is normally only lucky enough to get some frost. In most cases the weather is wet and gloomy.
New year is a time for celebrating and making a new start in life. In Britain many people make New Year’s resolutions. This involves people promising themselves that they will improve their behaviour in some way, by giving up bad habits. People might decide to give up smoking, for example, or to go on a diet. These promises are often broken in the first few days of the New Year, however!
Christmas is celebrated on the 25th of December. For most families, this is the most important festival of the year. On this day many people are travelling home to be with their families. Most houses are decorated with brightly-coloured paper or holly, and there is usually a Christmas tree in the corner of the front room. Unfortunately, not all families get on well together. As it is a well-known fact, some magazines publish tips on how to cope with Christmas, such as yoga, meditation or holidays abroad.

Laughing and evolution

The first hoots of laughter from an ancient ancestor of humans could be heard at least 10 million years ago, according to the results of a new study. Researchers used recordings of apes and babies being tickled A ______ to the last common ancestor that humans shared with the modern great apes, which include chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans.

The finding challenges the opinion В ______ , suggesting instead that it emerged long before humans split from the evolutionary path that led to our primate cousins, between 10m and 16m years ago.

“In humans, laughing can be the strongest way of expressing how much we are enjoying ourselves, but it can also be used in other contexts, like making fun of someone,” said Marina Davila Ross, a psychologist at Portsmouth University. “I was interested in С ______ .”

Davila Ross travelled to seven zoos around Europe and visited a wildlife reserve in Sabah, Borneo, to record baby and juvenile apes D ______ . Great apes are known to make noises that are similar to laughter when they are excited and while they are playing with each other.

Davila Ross collected recordings of laughter from 21 chimps, gorillas, orangutans and bonobos and added recordings of three babies that were tickled to make them laugh.

To analyze the recordings, the team put them into a computer program. “Our evolutionary tree based on these acoustic recordings alone showed E ______ , but furthest from orangutans, with gorillas somewhere in the middle.” said Davila Ross. “What this shows is strong evidence to suggest F ______ .”

whether laughing emerged earlier on than humans did
to create the evolutionary tree linking humans and apes
that laughter is a uniquely human trait
that humans were closest to chimps and bonobos
that laughing comes from a common primate ancestor
while their caretakers tickled them
to trace the origin of laughter back
