Books
            I`d like to give a talk about books.
           People like reading books for many reasons. To begin with, it can help them improve their learning process. There are so many types of books that you can find all the necessary information in them. Also, it`s one of the best ways to relax and to distract your mind from every day duties because reading absorbs you totally. Finally, for some people reading is just a hobby.
           I mostly tend to fantasy books and novels because I find them thrilling. As for me, exactly these kinds of books cause the deepest emotions.
           It is quite a difficult question for me, as everything depends on inspiration. However, journey through time and space is the most interesting topic for me now.
          All in all, I firmly believe reading books makes out life more interesting and every time I have a chance I take my favourite book and explore another wonderful world.


Sports

              I`d like to give a talk about sport in our life.
I think it`s important to have an exercise routine because it`s a good way to be fit and that`s important for our health.. To begin with, if you exercise, you`ll lose your weight of you`ll make sure  you don`t gain weight. Also, you`ll feel better about yourself and you`ll have more energy to do the things in life you want to do.
             As for me, I have an exercise routine, as I play football at school, so I get a lot of exercise this way. I do this form of exercise because I`m  really keen on playing sports.
           Speaking about where to do sports indoors or outdoors, I would choose to exercise outside because it`s more enjoyable to be outdoors in the fresh air, or in a park. Also, it doesn`t cost anything to exercise outdoors.

          All in all, I firmly believe that everyone should find time to do sports anyway.

Healthy lifestyle

Now I’d like to give you a talk about diets because this topic is quite interesting and actual today.
Today’s pace of life is very fast, especially in big cities, so people are working more and more and often forget about healthy eating and rest. As a result, they get health problems, overweight, and of course, they decide to go on diets.
As for me, I go in for sports and eat healthy home-made food – that’s all! I think it’s enough to keep in shape. Most of people are also sure that healthy food can’t be tasty but I disagree – you should just cook well and try new recipes. Maybe it will help improve our eating habits and avoid different unpleasant events.
I firmly believe that healthy lifestyle is something that is available for everybody.
That’s all I wanted to say. Thank you for listening.

Computers in my life

Now I’d like to give you a talk about using computers by teenagers to express my own opinion as it’s an interesting and actual topic in our life.
Using computers is of course a very important part of today’s busy world. I’m sure that most teenagers have their own computers to use – lack of gadgets means problems with communication. Without them you can’t get news, talk to your friends and find information.
To my mind, teenagers use computers at least once a day (sometimes twice, three times or even more) for surfing the Net to find all the needed information, for chatting with their friends and so on. Children also watch films and play games on computers.
What about me and gadgets, I’d like to buy an electronic book as it doesn’t harm our health and it’s also a very useful thing.
All in all, I firmly believe that computers make our life more interesting and, to be honest, I often use my computer in my everyday life.

That’s all I can say about teenagers using computers, thank you for listerning.


I. Global problems является одной из сложных тем, и прежде чем мы перейдем к ее обсуждению, я настоятельно рекомендую вам выучить необходимую лексику по теме и выполнить несколько упражнений. Ответы к упражнениям присылайте на мою почту.
The environment (=air, water and land around us)
Many people believe we are destroying the environment. (If you ‘destroy’ something, you damage it so badly it does not exist any more.) For example:
Cars and factories pollute the air. (=make the air dirty)
We continue to cut down rainforests and increase the danger of global warming.(= an increase in temperature because of increase of carbon dioxide around the earth)

How can the planet (earth) survive? (= continue to exist)
·      We must save/conserve (= use less and use well) natural resources (e.g. water, oil and gas). We mustn’t waste them. (= use them badly)
·      We must protect animals and plants. (= keep them safe from human damage)
·      We mustn’t throw away bottles and cans. We must recycle them. (= use them again)

Many of the verbs above form common nouns:
verb
noun
destroy
survive
waste
pollute
protect
recycle
destruction
survival
waste
pollution
protection
recycling

Natural disasters

A disaster is when something terrible happens and people often die. A natural disaster is caused by nature. For example:
famine ( = situation where people die because there isn’t enough food )
drought ( = no rain for a long period of time; this often causes famine)
floods ( = too much rain in a short period of time, causing damage to houses and land )
earthquakes (= violent movement of the earth; buildings are often destroyed)

War and peace
A war is a long period of fighting between two or more countries. Some countries have been at war ( = fighting a war) for years. There are also civil wars ( = fighting between two or more groups in the same country). These are some of the most violent – soldiers ( = the people in the army) are killed, but many civilians ( = people not in the army or navy, etc.) also die. Wars often end with a peace settlement. ( = both sides agree to stop fighting)

Terrorism
This is violent action for political reasons. People who do this are terrorists. A common terrorist crime is planting bombs ( = putting bombs in public places) often to kill/assassinate ( = to kill a famous person, often for a political reason) important people. Terrorists also hijack planes and buses ( = take control of them by force). The people on board then become prisoners (called hostages). The terrorists may agree to release the hostages ( = permit the hostages to go free) if governments agree to their demands ( = what they ask for), perhaps giving them money or releasing other terrorists from prison.

Attention! Many words in bold in this article are difficult to pronounce. Check the pronunciation in the dictionary and practise saying the words.

II. Shopping
Read the text and learn the vocabulary.
We live in a consumer society. The streets of our cities are full of advertisements offering to buy a new product of a famous brand. Our TV programs are interrupted by hours of commercials advertising new super shops, washing powder and food, and we are ready to spend big sums of money to look more fashionable, to have a cosier house or to eat tastier meals. To tell the truth, shopping has become a vital part of our lifestyle, a hobby or even an addiction.
There are a lot of types of shops: if you want to buy meat you go to a butcher’s, if you want to buy bread you visit a bakery. If you want to buy fruit or vegetables you go to a greengrocer’s, if you need not only food but some cleaning materials as well you choose a supermarket. All items are neatly wrapped and conveniently displayed on special shelves or racks or kept in refrigerators. You can walk among the rows with a shopping basket or a trolley, choosing things. You can take and study them, put them back and take again later. Nobody tells you to hurry with the shopping. Finally you have to pay at the cashier’s desk.
For many people shopping is a nightmare: the crowds, the queues, walking from shop to shop just for something that matches their new outfit or for a special birthday present. The situation has changed greatly recently with the establishing of huge shopping centers or shopping malls as they are called in the USA. Shopping has become a sort of entertainment for the whole family. Numerous departments with clothes, shoes, perfume, furniture, electrical appliances and toys; restaurants and cafes; cinemas and discos; children’s playgrounds and sport centers provide a family week-end under one roof for all tastes and wallets.
While speaking about shopping, which some people call a waste of time and money, we need to say of payment. You can pay either cash or by credit card. When you buy something in a shop, you usually pay for it outright but sometimes you buy on credit.  Sometimes you may be offered a discount or a reduction. If you want to return something that you have bought to a shop, you may be given a refund, provided you have a receipt. Never forget to check your change at the cashier’s desk and always ask for a guarantee if it is an electrical appliance.
Follow these simple rules and shopping can become a cure from stress and hectic lifestyle.

III. Healthy living guide
Read the text and learn the vocabulary.
There is nothing important than your health. “Health is above wealth”, wise people say because you can’t be good at your studies or work well if you don’t take care of your health. Sport helps people to keep in good health and become strong, to develop physical skills. It also makes them more organised and better disciplined in their daily activities.
Sport is very important, but you shouldn’t forget about eating healthy food and getting sufficient sleep at least seven or eight hours. Obesity and physical inactivity lead to different diseases. A lot of young people are under the influence of modern bad habits such as smoking and drinking too much alcohol or beer, sleeping too much or too little, eating meals and skipping breakfast. All these bad habits ruin people’s health and you should give them up.
As for me I try to take care of my health, though sometimes it’s very difficult. In the morning I usually do morning exercises. In the summer, I ride my bike a lot, play badminton and go hiking. In the winter I go skiing in the local park. But unfortunately I have some problems in eating healthily. I like eating cakes and chocolate very much. In fact, sometimes I’m also too lazy to do morning exercises. But I can be proud of myself as I started going to the swimming pool twice a week and never missed a session. I enjoy swimming and think that any sports activity makes my body flexible, helps me to feel better and to relax.

IV. Outstanding people of Great Britain
Great Britain made a great contribution to the science, literature, music and art of the world. It gave mankind a lot of outstanding scientists, writers and poets, musicians and painters.
William Shakespeare is one of the famous writers in the world. His plays “Romeo and Juliet”, “Hamlet, Prince of Denmark”, “King Lear”, “Macbeth” were translated into almost every language and staged in every theatre. He described the characters and feelings, which can be called international and living forever. Daniel Defoe, Robert Burns, Walter Scott, Charles Dickens, Lewis Caroll are only a few names well-known all over the world.
Isaac Newton one of the greatest men in the history of science was born in a little village in the middle of the 17th century. He studied math at Cambridge University. Newton's contribution to physics astronomy and math is so great that, he may be considered the founder of the modern mathematics and physics. He discovered the law of motion and the universal law of gravitation. He studied the nature of light and colour and came to the conclusion that white colour consists of many different colours known as spectrum. He died when he was 84 and was buried at Westminster Abbey.
Michael Faraday was born at the end of the 17th century. He was interested in electricity very much and spent long months studying this strange force. He discovered that electricity passed from the magnet to the wires and cowbell became a strong electric current. So he opened many laws of electricity and magnetism.
Charles Darwin was born in the beginning of the 19th century. He was a great biologist. He created a new theory of evolution. Once there were only simple organisms living in the seas, hundreds millions of years they have developed to produce all the different kinds of animals and plants we know today.
Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of penicillin was born in Scotland. He spent his working hours almost entirely in hospitals and labs. His discovery of penicillin in 1929 did more to help suffering people than anything else for centuries. When he died in 1955 his old friend said: “… by his work he relieved more suffering than any other living man”.

Outstanding people of Russia
  It is necessary to say that great contribution to the development of the world science and culture, literature, music and painting was made by the Russian people. The names of Russian scientists and writers, poets, composers and painters are world-famous - Pushkin, Lermontov, Chehov, Levitan. This chain can be endless.
  It is almost impossible to name a branch of science in the development of which the Russian scientists haven't played the greatest role. M.Y. Lomonosov, the founder of the Moscow University was an outstanding innovator both in the humanities and sciences. Mendeleev's greatest discovery was the Periodic System of Elements. Popov invented radio. Sechenov and Pavlov were the world's greatest physiologists. Russia is rightly called the mother of aviation and cosmonautics. Names of Tsiolkovsky, Korolov and Gagarin are symbols of new space era.
 People in many countries admire paintings, portraits and landscapes created by Surikov, Levitan, Repin. Works of our Russian writers and poets are translated into many languages.
  One of the greatest Russians is Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, an outstanding Russian composer, born in Votkinsk in 1840. He was fond of music since his early childhood. His mother sang him beautiful songs and taught him to play the piano. He graduated from the Petersburg Conservatoire only in 1866 because of his poor living conditions. He was the best pupil of Anton Rubinstein. When the Moscow Conservatoire was founded, Pyotr Ilyich became a professor there. He created wonderful music: 10 operas, 3 ballets, 6 symphonies, 7 large symphonic poems and many other musical pieces, a new type of opera, which was a great success all over the world.
  One more person I deeply admire is Sakharov, an outstanding scientist and public figure. He worked on hydrogen bomb and came to conclusion that any atomic and nuclear weapon should be banned. He protested against the invasion in Afghanistan, against any violation of human rights. Abroad he was recognised as a civil rights activist and received the Nobel Prize. At home he was persecuted, deprived of all his titles and orders and exiled to the city of Gorky. Only in 1985 he was allowed to come back to Moscow. He was given back all his titles and was elected a deputy of the Supreme Soviet. He said that our society should develop in a new direction and foresaw the changes that are taking place now.

V. Scientific and technological progress
It is impossible to overestimate the role of science and technology in our life. We can’t imagine our contemporary life without telephones and cars, computers and many other devices created or modified by science. Now we live in the information era when the computer network embraces the globe and connects not only the countries and space stations but also a lot of people all over the world. New technologies are being widely developed and used in different spheres of life.
Modern society cannot live without computers. Everything people do in the modern world is controlled by computers. Computers help us in our everyday activities. Nowadays people can get information about art, science not only from the books but from the Internet as well. The Internet is the wonder of our time. With its help people get the information they need. The Internet, the global communication system, breaks the traditional notions of space and time. People can move anywhere they want in a twinkle of an eye. Computers help pupils and students to study different subjects and translate foreign texts, they even entertain us during our leisure. You can type your reports with the help of computers. Computers can check your grammar. You can chat online, meet new friends from different countries, you can practice your English chatting on the NET. You can order everything on the Internet. There are millions of websites; you can buy almost everything over the Internet. 
Some words about the history of the computers: the Internet first started when it first became possible to move information electronically from one computer to another, it was on the 20th of October in 1969 in California. The first e-mail was sent in 1972.
But of course computers have disadvantages. Among the most important ones we should mention poor health and eyestrain. Besides, some people do not communicate with each other because they live in artificial world of computers

    VI. Holidays
    Holidays in Russia
    There are some holidays in Russia. They are New Year’s Day, Christmas, Women’s Day, Day of the Defender of Motherland, May Day, Victory Day and Independence Day.
    New Year’s Day is the favourite holiday of many people in Russia. We celebrate this holiday on the 31st of December and a lot of people consider New Year’s Day to be a family holiday. They have New Years parties at home. They greet the New Year with champagne and listen to the Kremlin chimes beating 12 o’clock. Some people begin to prepare to this holiday beforehand. They buy a New Year tree and decorate it with toys.
    Russian people celebrate Christmas on the 7th of January. On that day a lot of people go to church services.
    Easter is a Christian holiday in March or April. On this day Christians remember the death of Christ and his return to life. They go to church and have a celebration dinner. The most popular emblem of Easter is the Easter egg. People paint hard-boiled eggs in different colours and bake Easter cakes.
    Women’s Day is celebrated on the 8th of March. On that day men usually give women flowers and presents. They do everything about the house and cook the meals.
    Victory Day is the greatest national holiday in our country. On the 9th of May 1945 the Soviet Army completely defeated the German fascist and the Second World War ended. Many veterans take part in military parade and lay wreaths on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. All people stand in silence for a minute.
    Independence Day is celebrated on the 12th of June. On that day in 1992 the first president of Russia was elected.


    Holidays in Great Britain

    There are some public holidays in Great Britain. They are: Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year’s Day, Good Friday, Easter, and May Spring Festival.
    Christmas is the most popular holiday in Britain. It is celebrated on the 25th of the December. People spend time at home, with their families, many people are travelling home to be with their families. On this day they eat special food (turkey, potatoes, green vegetables, a Christmas pudding) and drink a lot. Many people decorate Christmas trees with toys and little coloured lights. People buy Christmas cards and send them to their friends and relatives. Long before this holiday the shops are busy, because a lot of people buy Christmas presents. In churches people sing Christmas carols – special religious songs.
    On Christmas Eve (t 24th of December) some people go to special church service. It is called Midnight Mass. The day after Christmas is called Boxing Day. The priest in church opens boxes with money and presents and gives to the poor people. Everybody give presents to each other.
    New Year’s Day is less popular in Britain than Christmas. Some people don’t celebrate it at all. Some people have parties. At midnight they listen to chimes of Big Ben, drink a toast to the New Year and sing Auld Lang Syne.  
    May Spring Festival is celebrated on the 1st of May. Girls put on their best summer dresses and put flowers in their hair. The most beautiful girl is crowned with a garland of flowers.
    Besides public holidays there are other festivals, such as Pancake Day, April Fool’s Day, Halloween, Guy Fawkes Day, St. Valentine’s Day and many others.
    St. Valentine’s Day is celebrated on the 14th of February. It is the day of sweethearts. On this day people send cards, candy or flowers to those whom they love.
    At Easter time, the British celebrate the idea of new births by giving each other chocolate Easter eggs which are eaten on Easter Sunday.
    Guy Fawkes Day is one of the most popular festivals in Britain. It is celebrated on the 5th of November. On that Day, in 1605, Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the Houses of  Parliament and kill King James I. But the King’s men found the bomb, took Guy Fawkes to the Tower and cut off his head. Since that day the British burn a dummy, made of straw and old clothes, on a bonfire and let off fireworks.  This dummy is called a “guy”. Children go about the streets saying “Penny for the guy.” If they collect enough money they buy some fireworks for the festival.
    Pancake Day is in February. On that day it is a tradition to eat lots of pancakes. Some towns also hold pancake races on that day. People run through the streets holding a frying pan and throwing the pancake in the air.
    Halloween In Great Britain there is a nice holiday Hallowe`en ( the night of all saints) . It`s an ancient holiday that marked the end of summer sunshine and the beginning of winter’s darkness with arrival of witches, ghosts and demons.
    People put pumpkins on the window sills; they draw eyes, noses and mouths on the pumpkins and put candles into them. So pumpkins look like a face. People dress up in funny clothes, they have parties and go from house to house and say trick or treat.

    VII.  School №622
    School №622 was opened on September 1, 1992. It is a set of modern buildings located in ecologically clean park region near  Suzdalskiye  Lakes of Saint-Petersburg. There are more than 1000 students at three grades of education: Primary, Secondary and High from the age of 7 to 17-18.  Students start learning English at the age of 8 and in the 5th form they are taught their second foreign language – German. Much attention is paid to Civil Studies.
    Our school has an unusual architecture. The main parts of the School building are the Head and Deputy Heads’ offices, the Educational building and Sports Training Part consisting of 2 swimming pools and 3 gyms, the canteen with modern and safety equipment and the assembly hall for 300 seats.
    There are language laboratories, specially equipped  classrooms for Biology, Chemistry, Geography, Maths, Physics, Russian Language and Literature, Computer classes, Art and Music in the educational part of our school.
    In our school we have 6 lessons every day, from Monday to Saturday. From the 5th form students go to school 6 days a week. Our school day is from 9 o’clock in the morning until 2:45 in the afternoon. Our school subjects are: Russian language and Literature, Maths, History, Biology, Chemistry, Geography, Physics, IT, English and German languages, Civil Studies, Technical Drawing and others.
    Among the variety of school subjects I like …… because …………
    There are a lot of activities and duties in our school. For example, from the 9th form we must be on duty in the school hall. Pupils can also participate in school competitions.
    In my opinion our school has got very strict rules. We must wear uniform every day. Our clothes and appearance must be neat. We are not allowed to be late for lessons and miss classes. We are not allowed to run though the corridors and use mobile phones during the lessons. But some of students like breaking these rules. 
    The teaching staff consists of highly educated, creative and enthusiastic specialists whose aim is to revive the tradition of educating the intelligent people of St Petersburg.
    To my mind, our school has got a lot of advantages, like highly educated teaching stuff, the difference of activities and well-equipped classrooms and laboratories. But I think that the rules may not be so strict. It would be better to change our timetable and study five days a week.

    Entertainment and leisure activities

             Our world would be hard without rest and recreation. People have quite different ideas of how to spend their free time. For some of them the only way to relax is watching TV or surfing the Net, others use their spare time getting maximum benefit from it. If you enjoy doing some activity in your free time, then you have a hobby. A hobby is a kind of self-expression and the way to understand other people and the whole world.
             Lot of people find going to the cinema one of the best ways of spending their leisure time. There is no doubt that a visit to the cinema is excellent entertainment, and quite cheap. You an always find a film you like among horror films, thrillers, westerns or comedies. Despite the fact that video production has flooded the market, cinema houses haven’t become less popular. Thanks to new equipment that provides an excellent quality of picture and sound, modern cinemas attract a lot of people.
              Watching television is another popular form of entertainment. Television satisfies the interests of many people due to the variety of TV programs: feature and documentary films, sitcoms, news, sport games and so on. Unfortunately, many people watch too much TV and may be called couch potatoes (the ones sitting in comfortable chairs, munching on potato chips, watching programs on TV).
              The new lifestyle brought great changes in the theatre. We are to admit that theatre is not as popular now as it used to be. However, quite a lot of people consider it to be one of the most popular forms of entertainment. Living in Saint Petersburg you can really take advantage of its theatreland. There are drama theatres, opera houses, comedy theatres, puppet theatres where the audience is excited by the prospect of seeing a play and its favourite actors.

             As for me, I can say I have a lot of free time for entertainment. However, whenever I get some, I do my best to have as much fun as possible. Most of all I like hanging out with my friends. If someone suggest going out, I always agree. The next thing I adore is having my friends over. We play computer games, chat, listen to music, dance and have fun. One more thing I like doing is to eat out. In recent years going out for a meal or having takeaway meals has become popular. Unfortunately, it is quite expensive and I have to ask for some pocket money.
