CAN CHEATING BE STOPPED? Текст № 4Стр 1 из 13Следующая ⇒
CAN CHEATING BE STOPPED? Текст № 4 More and more students at school and university are using the internet to cheat* in their coursework. In Britain, about 25 % of students copy material from the internet when they write their homework. In the USA there is a similar problem. One report showed that about 54 % of students copy from the internet when they prepare for the lessons. Of course, students rightly use the internet to help them research a topic when they are doing coursework or writing an essay. But some of them also copy and include material from the internet into their own essays without indicating that they are using someone else's work. For example, a student who has to write an essay on Shakespeare can find lots of different essays on particular plays and themes in Shakespeare and copy one of them. So they no longer have to read books in libraries, take notes and plan their own essay. The internet has certainly helped students to avoid the hard work of writing an original essay, but it is not the only reason why cheating is increasing. In recent years, students' attitudes to school and university have changed. In the past, students had a more idealistic attitude towards a university education. University broadened their minds. Nowadays, a lot of students are more practical in their attitude. They are only interested in passing the exams. They want a degree only to help them get a good job. Teachers and examiners want to stop cheating in school and university, but they do not agree about how to solve the problem. Some teachers think a student's final grade shouldn't depend on his/her coursework. They think that it is better to have traditional (time-limited) written exams that are held in an examination room. Another way to stop cheating is to have an oral exam at the end of the course. If students cannot answer questions about their coursework, this could indicate that they have cheated. At the same time, the oral exam would give the examiner a better idea of students' real knowledge of the subject. 2. Is cheating becoming a problem in the USA and Britain? Read aloud the extract which says about it. 3. How do students cheat using the internet? 4. Why do students cheat? Можно остановить обман? Все больше и больше студентов Университета используют интернет, чтобы остановить списывание. В Британии около 25% студентов переписывают материал из интернета, когда делают домашнее задание. В США существует такая же проблема. В одном докладе говорится, что около 54% студента списывают из Интернета, когда готовятся к урокам. Конечно, студенты по праву используют интернет, чтобы помочь себе исследовать тему. Но некоторые из них также списывают и включают материал из интернета в свои собственные сочинения. Поэтому им больше не надо читать книги в библиотеках, делать пометки, и план своего собственного сочинения. Интернет, конечно, помог студентам избежать трудной работы по написанию оригинального сочинения, но это не единственная причина почему так растет списывание. За последние годы отношение студентов к школе или университету изменилось. В прошлом у студентов было более идеалистическое отношение к университетскому образованию. Университет расширял их мышление. В наши дни у большинства студентов более практичное отношение. Они только интересуются, как сдать экзамены. Они хотят получить степень только для того, чтоб получить хорошую работу. Учителя экзаменаторы хотят прекратить списывания в школе и университете. Но они не могут прийти к соглашению, как решить эту проблему. Некоторые учителя считают, что конечная оценка студента не должна зависеть от его курсовой работы. Они считают, что лучше, чтоб были традиционные (ограниченные во времени) письменные экзамены. 1) More and more students at school and University are using the internet to cheat in their coursework.

Билет № 1( 6 ) PR: My guest today is the novelist Laura Reddington, whose novel The Lost Dream was an international best – seller. Laura, did you always want to write? L.: I’ve always been interested in books. I always thought it would be wonderful to be a writer and this was an ambition. PR: How did you start writing? L.: Well, my first thought was that I needed to make a living, so I tried romantic fiction – without success, though. I thought it would be easy money. PR: How did you get the idea for your book? L.: I was looking through my books one day when I found the story of a man who thought he’d found a new planet. I realized this was going on at about the same time as a famous murder case in London. So I thought I could mix the two stories together to make a sort of a detective novel. PR: How long did it take you to write a book? L.: Well, that book took two years to write. I know some people can sit down and just write, and until they’ve finished they don’t know how it will end. But for me, it’s all about planning, when I worked out all the details, I concentrate on the actual writing. What books did Laura Reddington write trying to make a living? What kind of story did she find one day? Why does Laura think about all the details before writing a book? My Family My name is Ivan Sidorov. I’m fifteen. I’d like to tell you about my family. We are a family of three. I live with my parents. But I’ve got an elder brother. He is twenty. He is a worker at the plant. In my opinion, family is an emotional centre of a man’s life. Our family is very united. My father’s name is Ivan Ivanovich. He is 45 years old. He is a fitter at a Motor plant. He is tall and strong in body and character, but rather stout. He’s generous and full of joy. He can make different things with his own hands. My mother’s name is Irina. She is a medium size woman. She has got a thin oval attractive face and light grey eyes and a snub nose. My mother is a woman of character, well – bred, tactful and fair. She’s warm – hearted and at the same time practical, reserved and full of common sense. She is a housewife, she does all the homework. I try to help her about the house. We have got a lot of relatives. We are all on friendly terms.
Билет № 2( 1 ) Книги никогда не умрут Библиотекари опечалены тем фактом, что молодые люди стремятся только к тому, чтобы взять книгу на время, а не читать литературу ради удовольствия. Возможно, в наше время чтение книг стало немодным. Как бы то ни было, новый тренд развивается, так любители литературы оставляют свои книги в общественных местах, чтобы их " одалживали" другие люди. Белорусский национальный технический университет был первым, который поддержал эту идею в нашей стране. Несколько лет назад глава его научной библиотеки, Алексей Скалабан, проходил стажировку в Швеции. В аэропорту он увидел огромный стеклянный ящик с книгами, которые были доступны для прочтения каждому. Это была великолепная идея. Единственным вопросом стал поиск места, где такие книги могли бы храниться в Минске. " Первоначально мы сделали полку в читальном зале в научной библиотеке университета. Позже мы установили ящик в главном корпусе. Это доступно каждому. " Мы хотели поспособствовать тому, чтобы молодежь читала. Бук-кроссинг - это лёгкий способ сделать это".. " Смотрите, мы выделили в свободный доступ почти 700 книг, " - отмечает он с гордостью. В день моего посещения я увидел лишь две книги в ящике. Работники библиотеки, студенты и даже жители соседних домов приносят книги. К тому же издательские дома пожертвовали несколько книг.. Недавно минский ночной клуб установил полку с книгами. В то время как некоторые люди танцуют, другие собираются около таких полок с книгами, журналами и дисками. Бук-кроссинг получает все большую популярность, такие полки можно найти во многих библиотеках, а также кафе и образовательных учреждениях. Без сомнения, это прекрасная возможность привлечения посетителей. 1. Young people do not want to read. It's unfashionable to read these days. Librarians are saddened by thus fact. 2. Librarians arc saddened by the fact that young people tend only to borrow reference books rather than reading fiction for pleasure. Perhaps it's unfashionable to read these days. However, a new trend is developing, with literary lovers leaving their books in public places, to be picked up and 'borrowed' by others. 3. It was the Belarusian National Technical University. The director of its scientific library, Alexey Skalaban, passed an internship in Sweden and at the airport he saw a huge glass case of books, which he learnt were available for anyone to read. It was a great idea to keep such cases in Belarus. 4. Bookcrossing is an easy way to encourage young people to read. That's why it is gaining popularity.
Билет №2 ( 10 ) Woman: Oh, yes, I remember my first day at school. I remember feeling very proud when my mother walked with me through the main gate. There was so much noise and so many children that I got quite scared! Anyway, my mum took me to see the teacher, Mrs Gossage was her name – very nice teacher – and I remember feeling very nervous watching my mother leaving but Mrs Gossage looked after me and she sat me down with the other pupils in a big circle. Soon we started playing games so I got very excited. I think it was after lunch that I met Emily, who later became my best friend. She was in another class, but all new students were brought together to meet each other and … I was so relieved to have a friend! Oh yes, and in the afternoon we went swimming, but I couldn’t swim so I became very upset and started to cry. In fact, I wouldn’t stop crying so Mrs Gossage phoned my mother and she came to collect me early. I remember feeling very confused when I saw my mum! So much had happened! We went and had an ice cream and then I felt calm again. But what a day! I’ll never forget it. 1. What is the speaker talking about? 2. When did the speaker feel relieved? 3. Why did the speaker start crying? Our family traditions I’m sure every family has its own traditions. But every family show its respect and love to the oldest members of the family: grandfathers and grandmothers. In our family they are the most important people, their advices are very useful for every member of the family, both young and old. In the weekend our family usually gathers together at my Granny’s. We usually have a nice time together discussing the latest events and books, watching different programmes or playing computer games. In summer we go to the country where we have a small house and a garden. All are fond of working there planting fruit and vegetables. In the evening we can play interesting games or read an interesting magazine. On Sundays our family often go to the cinema, theatre or museum. Our father and grandfather like to go the stadium to watch football or hockey matches. They are sport fans. Билет № 3( 5 )
Дружба в современном мире Люди часто говорят, что наш современный образ жизни с его индивидуализмом и быстрой скоростью сделал мир одиноким местом. Многие из нас живут и работают в окружении людей, но найти настоящую дружбу тяжело. Лица, которые мы видим каждый день, как картины в галереe; разговор, который мы слышим, просто звук. Возможно, поэтому такие веб-сайты как «фейсбук», «контакт» так популярны сегодня. Они позволяют людям общаться и даже становиться близкими без встречи. Кажется, что представления многих людей о дружбе сегодня изменилось. Но что такое дружба? Аристотель был первым западным философом, который разобрал понятие дружбы. Он сказал, что люди, которые выбирают жизнь в одиночку, это либо животные, либо боги. Он, возможно, имел виду, что это естественно хотеть иметь друзей. Конечно, люди, которые выбирают жизнь без друзей, часто имеют проблемы, нам или жалко их, или мы считаем их странными. Аристотель также говорил, что существует три разные категории друзей. В первую категорию входят: Мы друзья с кем-то из-за определённых выгод и преимуществ. Другими словами, дружба имеет практическую ценность, в эту категорию входят: друзья-боссы на работе или кто-то из наших коллег. Вторая категория дружбы по Аристотелю основывается на идее удовольствия, друзья этой категории получают удовольствие делать что-то вместе и у них много общих интересов. Третья категория дружбы- самая высокая. В этой категории дружба зависит только от самих друзей. Отношения такие близкие, что кажется, что одна душа принадлежит двум телам, как сказал Аристотель. Аристотель также сказал, что близкие друзья должны съесть соль вместе. Другими словами, они должны поделиться хорошим и плохим жизненным опытам.
1) This text is about friendship. It is hard to find true friendship. Aristotle said that there are three different categories of friends. 2) 1 абзац. People often say that our modern way of life, with its individualism and fast speed, has made the world a lonely place. So many of us live and work surrounded by people, but it is hard to find true friendship. The faces we see each day are like pictures in a gallery; the talk that we hear is just sound. Perhaps this is why the websites like 'Facebook', 'Contacts' are so popular these days. They allow people to communicate and even become close without meeting up. It seems that many people's idea of friendship has changed nowadays. But what is friendship? 3) People think about people who have no friends that they are strange and we pity them. 4) The first type is when people are friends because of some advantage that the friendship gives us. Such Friendship has a practical value. The second type is based on the idea of pleasure. Friends enjoy doing things together and they have a lot of interests in common. The third type the friendship is so close that it seems that one soul hard work of writing work.
Билет № 3 (16 ) Hello, I’m Amber, in London Life today, we find out what the traditional British breakfast is made of, and why it is becoming more and more popular, especially in London. Let’s listen to three people. Speaker 1: It’s a meal that everyone outside of England has heard of, and dreams about, and we don’t know what it is, but when we come here, we want to eat it. I got here, and I went to a café and there was the bacon, eggs and fried potatoes, and I thought – is this all there is?! Speaker 2: I think it’s very important to start a day. If I’ve got a long day at work, I try and eat egg and bacon in the morning because it’s protein – it keeps you going all day. Now in London, there’re lots more people having business meetings in top restaurants and it’s getting very fashionable to have breakfast. Speaker 3: I would say the café experience is very important, you know, it’s less than 50% the food, as it is. In a good café, they’re not going to hurry you out. There are the smells, there are the sounds – you are just listening to the world go by. Family Relationship My family means the world to me. I would do anything in the world for them because they mean that much to me. Any time my little brother needs anything like money or just something if I have it, its his. If I don’t have it, I will try my hardest to get it for him. Even with my elder sister I still try to give, but she’s most likely the one who gives me money when I need it. My parents are the two most important people in the world. I know lots of times I can seem pretty ungrateful but I Appreciate the most and I don’t know this but it’s how they both brought me into this world. They are always on my side, no matter if I’m right or wrong. All my relatives always help each other. I always know sometimes when I’m having a problem, need help and all of a sudden the answer to my troubles, any member of our big family can rely on each other. That’s the question that our family respect and love every person and you can rely both on young and old. Mutual love and understanding is the basic of happy relationship in your family.

Like the great detective Sherlock Holmes, Conan Doyle also had many wonderful talents. Many people do not know that he wrote many other kinds of books: science fiction, historical adventures, horror stories and stories of the supernatural.

His father was a talented artist and his mother was a very good story-teller. In his autobiography, Conan Doyle wrote: " The stories that my mother told me when I was a child stand out more powerfully than the real facts of my life." Conan Doyle went to boarding school when he was nine years old. At school, he entertained his school friends with stories that he had invented. After graduation from Edinburgh University he had his own medical practice in London, but he did not have many patients, so he was not earning a lot of money as a doctor. That's why Conan Doyle made good use of his free time by writing stories. Soon, Conan Doyle began to have his stories published. He now began to understand that writing could provide a better income than medicine. Conan Doyle was not satisfied with being just a writer of original and entertaining stories. He was also a great man of action. When he was a young man, he sailed as a ship's doctor on voyages to the Arctic and to West Africa. When the Boer War in Africa started, Conan Doyle volunteered to fight. He was not accepted because lie was too old (he was 40). However, he still went to South Africa as a doctor to treat the wounded and the sick. He later wrote a history of the Boer War. Conan Doyle was determined to do some good in society. He tried to enter Parliament, but he wasn't successful. Conan Doyle was more successful in his work to improve the law system. He worked very hard to help people who had been wrongfully sent to prison. Conan Doyle did many things in his life, but he will naturally be remembered most as a writer, a creator of Sherlock Holmes. 2. Conan Doyle had many talents.

Jane Turner began her chocolate making business in a village near the seaside resort, of Torquay about three years ago, before that she had worked for a large food processing company in south-west England. We talked to her about her experiences. Why did you decide to make such a big change of lifestyle? " First of all, I was not happy in my job. Though it was a well-paid job, the work was very stressful and I had to work long hours. I just wanted to improve the quality of my life. I also wanted to live by the sea again. I knew that it would be difficult to find a good job in this area, so I decided to set up my own business." How did the chocolate making begin? " It had always been my dream. I found a suitable building in a village and installed all the equipment. My sister and a couple of her friends came to work with me and about six months later we were ready to start making cakes. After the cake business had begun to do well and we were supplying hotels and restaurants on a regular basis, I began trying to make my own chocolates. It is not easy to make good chocolate as there arc so many factors involved: creativity, the quality of ingredients, even the temperature of the room. When I had developed a good enough range of chocolates, I sent some to the hotels and restaurants. They liked them and ordered more. That is how the chocolate making grew." Have you made any mistakes? " Oh, yes, a lot. Perhaps the biggest mistake was trying to sell our cakes and chocolates over the internet. It was a disaster. First of all, it was expensive to get a professionally designed website set up. Then it was difficult and expensive to deliver cakes and chocolates to places that were far away. We had to use special packaging to protect the cakes and chocolates, which was also expensive. Sometimes, the chocolates arrived late, or despite everything they were damaged. Then we had to deal with some very angry customers! " What are your plans for the future? " We are thinking of setting up our own shop in Torquay with cake and chocolate making facilities inside." 1. Read the magazine article and say in 2-3 sentences what it is about. 2. Why did Jane Turner start her business? Read aloud the extract which says about it. 3. How did her chocolate business develop? 4. What mistakes did she make? Самодельный шоколад Джейн Тернер начала своей бизнес по изготовлению шоколадок в деревне возле морского курорта Торкей около трех лет назад, до того она работала в большой компании пищевой промышленности на Юго- Западе Англии. Мы разговаривали с ней о ее опыте. Почему вы решили настолько изменить образ жизни? «Прежде всего я недовольна была своей работой, хотя это была хорошо оплачиваемая работа, было много стресса и мне приходилось работать долгие часы, я просто хотела улучшить качество своей жизни. Я также хотела опять жить у моря. Я знала, что это будет трудно найти хорошую работу в этом районе, поэтому я решила открыть свой собственный бизнес». Как началось изготовление шоколада? « Это всегда была моя мечта. Я нашла подходящее здание в деревне и установила все оборудование. Моя сестра и пара ее друзей пришли работать со мной и спустя около 6месяцев мы были готовы начать делать торты. Бизнес по тортам шёл хорошо, мы снабжали отели и рестораны регулярно, я стала пытаться делать свои собственные шоколадки. Это нелегко сделать хороший шоколад, поскольку вовлечено много факторов: творчество, качество ингредиентов, даже температура комнаты. Когда я достигла достаточно хорошего уровня изготовления шоколада, я послала их в отели, рестораны. Они им понравились и они стали заказывать больше. Вот так рос шоколадный бизнес». Вы делали ошибки? « О да, много. Возможно самая большая ошибка, что пытались свои торты и шоколадки продать через интернет. Это была катастрофа. Прежде всего было очень дорого открыть профессиональный дизайнерский веб сайт. Затем было трудно и дорого доставлять торты и шоколадки в дальние места. Нам приходилось использовать особые упаковки, чтобы защитить торты и шоколадки, что также было дорого. Иногда шоколадки прибывали поздно или они разрушались. И нам приходилось иметь дело со злыми покупателями».

Билет № 6 ( 24 ) Sir Arthur Conan Doyle killed Sherlock Holmes when writing the stories took up too much of his time. Now, 80 years after the author’s death, Britain’s most famous detective is being brought back to life with a new novel by Anthony Horowitz. The character of Sherlock Holmes was originally created by Arthur Conan Doyle, who featured him in four novels and more than 50 short stories. But it’s the first time that the Arthur Conan Doyle estate has officially asked an author to write a new novel. He has been names as Anthony Horowitz and is best known for his Alex Rider children’s series. So, was he afraid of the challenge? Anthony Horowitz: “ Well obviously, it was exciting to deal with probably the most famous detective in the whole history of literature. And I didn’t want to disappoint the fans and the people who love these books. But to be honest with you, I found it fairly easy to write because I have always loved those books, I’ve read them two or three times during the course of my lifetime – in fact, my whole life as a writer of crime fiction was inspired by Doyle and I find the book not so scary as I thought it might be.” 1. Why did Arthur Conan Doyle stop writing stories about Sherlock Holmes? Studying at school
Nowadays it is not easy to choose a profession because there are a lot of them: teachers and doctors, engineers and drivers, turners and fitters, machinists and adjusters, etc. all of these professions are of great importance for the country and national economy. And of course, there are many vocational schools, professional colleges and lyceums, institutes and universities, where students can become skilled specialists. As for me, I followed my parents’ advice and decided to become a turner. So now I study at the professional machine-building lyceum. I’ll be a highly qualified worker if I study hard. Our lyceum was founded in 1983 and has a long history and old traditions. Our classrooms are situated in a four-storeyed building. The lyceum has a library with a large and cosy reading room, a gym, different workshops and laboratories. In our lyceum we get general knowledge in Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, Literature and languages, and also we study special subjects: Technology, Technical Drawing, Electricity and others. Twice a week we have our training at the plants or our workshops. Now I quite realize that workers’ professions are different but interesting. I’m proud to be a student of our professional lyceum.
Билет № 7 ( 13 ) MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE
Agatha Christie wrote some of the best detective stories in English. Her own life also contains a mystery that has only recently been solved. The story began like this. At 9.45 pm on December 3rd 1926, Agatha Christie left her home in the south of England, saying that she was going out for a drive in her car. The next morning, her car was found quite far away crashed. The front end of the car was in some bushes, the headlights were still on. Inside, there were only some women's clothes and Agatha Christie's driving license. The detective in charge of the case, William Kenward immediately organized a big search of the area. Policemen came from different parts of the country to help in the search, even some famous detective writers were asked to help. Archie Christie, Agatha's husband, told everyone that his wife was suffering from amnesia. However, soon the police discovered that the marriage between Archie and Agatha Christie was not a happy one, and that Archie and Agatha were having problems. But he could not admit that his marriage was in trouble because people might have thought that he had had something to do with her disappearance. At this point, the police received a letter. In the letter, Agatha told Archie's brother that she was going away to rest in Yorkshire, Harrogate. The police now went there and looked for her at all the hotels. But they did not find Agatha Christie as she had not checked in using her real name. Instead, she had introduced herself as Neele, a visitor from South Africa. The situation was very upsetting for the police as they didn't find her. Instead, the musicians in the dance band at the hotel recognized her. It was not an easy story to believe and most people did not in fact believe it. But all what we know now is that she did not do it for publicity. She did it as she was going through an unhappy time with her husband. Later, in fact, their marriage broke up and they got divorced. However, her disappearance did make Agatha Christie the most popular crime writer in the country. 1. Read the article and say in 2-3 sentences what it is about. 2. How did the story begin? Read aloud the extract which says about it. 3. What are the details of the police investigation? 4. Why did Agatha Christie disappear according to the article? Мифическое исчезновение Агата Кристи написала несколько самых лучших детективов на английском языке. Ее собственная жизнь содержит тайну, которая недавно была раскрыта. История началась таким образом. В 9.45 вечера 3 декабря 1926года Агата Кристи ушла из дома на юге Англии, сказав, что она уезжает на своей машине. На следующие утро ее машина была найдена разбитой. Передняя часть машины была в кустах. Фары еще горели. Внутри была только какая-то женская одежда и водительские права Агаты Кристи. Детектив, ведущий это дело, Уильям Кенуорд тут же организовал на этой территории поиск. Полицейские прибыли из разных частей страны помочь в поиске, даже были приглашены некоторые известные писатели- детективы. Арчи Кристи, муж, Агаты Кристи рассказал всем, что его жена страдала амнезией. Однако вскоре полиция раскрыла, что брак Арчи и Агаты Кристи был несчастливым. У Арчи и Агаты были проблемы. Но он не мог признать, что его брак неудачный, потому что люди могли подумать, что он что-то сделал, чтоб она исчезла. По этому поводу полиция получила письмо. В письме Агата рассказывала брату Арчи, что она собирается отдохнуть в Йоркшире, Харагейт. Полиция поехала туда и искала ее во всех отелях, но они не нашли Агату Кристи, поскольку она не использовала свое настоящие имя. Вместо этого она представлялась как Нил, гостья из Южной Африки. Ситуация была очень грустная для полиции, поскольку они ее не нашли. Но тут музыканты танцевальной группы узнали ее. В эту историю нелегко было поверить. И фактически большинство людей не поверили в это. Но все, что мы знаем теперь, что она это сделала не для огласки. Она это сделала, поскольку у нее был трудный период с мужем. Позже фактически их брак распался и они развелись. Однако ее исчезновение сделало Агату Кристи самой популярной писательницей о преступлениях в стране.

It’s only Wednesday today! James: But it will be too late then. The boys are buying tickets for the match now. I won’t be able to get it later! Mother: Let’s wait for father anyway. James: OK. When will he be back? Mother: I’m not sure but I hope he’ll be back at 8 pm. James: All right, then. I do hope he’ll let me go to the football match. 1. What does the boy want to do? Lyceum traditions
It is a tradition in our lyceum to plant trees and flowers in spring. Every day in every group there is a pupil on duty. He usually brings a register to the lessons and helps teachers to mark those who are absent. In autumn all the trees in our yard become coloured red and brown, yellow and orange, and fall down. It’s a tradition to gather the leaves and clean the ground before winter. When there is much snow in December and January students clean the lyceum roads from snow and ice. They are fond of working outside. Every Thursday students make their classrooms tidy: sweep the floor, water the flowers. Twice a week all the students have their training at the lyceum workshops or at the plants of the city of Minsk. They try to receive good skills and in future to become qualified turners, fitters, adjusters and machinists. Билет № 8 ( 26 )
PABLO PICASSO
Pablo Picasso was one of the greatest artists of the 20lh century. He experimented in many different styles and changed the world of art during his time. Pablo Picasso was born in Malaga, Spain in 1881. His father was a drawing teacher. At 10 Pablo became his father's pupil and at the age of 13 he held his first exhibition. His family moved to Barcelona in 1895 where Pablo joined an art academy. In his early period the young artist painted life as he saw it around him — in cafes and on the streets. Then they moved to Paris, the centre of art and literature. In 1901 a close friend of Picasso shot himself. This had a great influence on Pablo. He was very sad and began painting his pictures in grey and blue tones instead of bright, vivid colours. This part of his career is called his Blue Period (1901-1904). Later on, he changed his painting style and started using more earth colours — rose, pink or brown. He liked to paint pictures of circus life with dancers and acrobats. This Rose Period lasted until 1907. When Picasso started working with his friend and fellow painter Georges Braque in Paris they started experimenting with a new style that was called cubism. Picasso and Braque didn't want to show nature as it really was. They thought that all objects in nature had geometric forms. In cubism, objects were cut into many flat shapes, which looked like a puzzle. All the sides of a person's face, for example, were shown at once, maybe even with three eyes instead of two. In 1936 Civil War broke out in Spain. During this period he painted his masterpiece Guernica. It shows the terrified people of the ancient Spanish town which was bombed during the Civil War. Picasso was shocked by this inhuman act and in his painting he shows people running in the streets and screaming with their mouths wide open. To display his sadness and anger he used only black and white as well as shades of grey. He continued his work up to his death in 1973. For his great imagination and skill he is called 'El Maestro' of modern art. 2. The most famous painting of Picasso is Guernica. Read aloud the extract about it. 3. Where did Picasso learn to paint? 4. Picasso worked in different styles. Which styles are mentioned in the article? What are their typical characteristics? Пабло Пикассо Пабло Пикассо был одним из величайших художников 20 века. Он экспериментировал во многих разных стилях и изменил мир искусства того времени. Пабло Пикассо родился в Малаге, Испания в 1881 отец его был учителям рисования. В 10лет он стал учеником своего отца, а в 13лет он провел свою первую выставку.Его семья переехала в Барселону в 1895, где Пабло поступил в академию искусств. В ранний период молодой художник рисовал жизнь так, как он видел ее вокруг себя - в кафе и на улицах. Затем они переехали в Париж, в центр искусства и литературы. В 1901 году его близкий друг застрелился. Это произвело огромное впечатление на Пабло. Он стал очень грустным и начал рисовать свои картины в серых и голубых тонах вместо ярких жизненных цветов. Эта часть его карьеры называется его голубым периодом (1901-1904). Позже он поменял свой стиль рисования и стал использовать более земные цвета-розовые, жизнерадостные или коричневые. Ему нравилось рисовать картины цирковой жизни с танцорами или акробатами. Этот розовый период длился до 1907. Когда Пикассо начал работать со своим другом и товарищем Георгием Брейком в Париже, они стали экспериментировать в новом стиле, который назывался кубизм. Пикассо и Брейк не хотели показывать природу в реальном свете. Они считали, что все в природе имеет геометрическую форму. В кубизме предметы резались на многие плоские кусочки, которые выглядели как паззл. Все части человеческого лица, например, показывались одновременно, возможно даже с тремя глазами. В 1936 году в Испании началась Гражданская война. В этот период он нарисовал свой шедевр Гернику. Он показывает запуганных людей древнего испанского города, который бомбили во время Гражданской войны. Пикассо был шокирован этим антигуманным действием и в своей картине он показал людей, бегущих по улицам с широко открытыми ртами. Чтобы показать свою печаль и злость, он использовал только черные и белые цвета, а также оттенки серого. Он продолжал эту работу до своей смерти 1973 году. За его изумительное воображение и мастерство его называют «маэстро» современного искусства.

Билет № 8 ( 26 ) Interviewer: For most of us, childhood dreams of becoming a dancer stopped at about the time we became teenagers but not for Kerry Jay. Now at the age of 24 she is a dancer in one of the West end’s musicals. Kerry, what’s a typical day? Kerry: I’m usually not in bed before 2 am, so I get up about 10 am.. I go to the gym or occasionally a jazz class. I meet friends who don’t work by day either – it’s my main chance to socialize. We get to the theatre by 6.15 and put on our make-up. Then we’ll get our hair done and put our costumes on. Interviewer Do you have to exercise to keep your figure? Kerry: Not at all! I don’t look after myself as well as I should do! I don’t need to do diets or go to the gym daily – just watch what I’m eating! I eat completely normally, including sweets and chocolates but not much. Interviewer: How do you see your future? Kerry: I can’t imagine myself doing anything else! I’d love to get one of the main roles in “Chicago” eventually. As for getting older in the business, I know a lot of dancers in their mid – 30s who are in main parts and doing well. Interviewer: Any advice for beginners? Kerry: Be confident and keep practicing – patience is rewarded! 1. What is Kerry’s typical day? Choosing a career
It’s rather difficult sometimes to choose a career and to speak about the future profession. There are lucky people who chose their profession in childhood and since that time have been doing everything possible to acquire proficiency. If we are thinking about our future career we are to pay attention to a number of important things. We should determine our abilities and inclinations. Then we should analyse job projects. We must know whether the profession we have chosen will guarantee good living conditions and give promotion. We must be sure we’ll avoid unemployment or at least will be able to apply our knowledge and skills in other fields of human activity. In short, we are to decide what we are going to do in our life and feel satisfied, but not bored and disappointed. When I was a fifth-former I dreamt of becoming a doctor, but later I gave up this idea. Now I’d like to be a qualified worker: a turner or a fitter at a big plant. Билет № 9 ( 30 ) GOOD NEWS FOR CHOCOLATE LOVERS! It would be difficult to find someone who does not like chocolate. In the United States, chocolate is bought more often than any other kind of sweet. In Britain, each person eats an average of 11 kg of chocolate per year. That is a lot of chocolate! In the US people eat about 200 chocolate bars per second as a matter of fact. People love chocolate so much that they often think it is a bad habit. But there is good news for all chocoholics: eating chocolate does less harm to you than you might think. People often believe that chocolate causes a number of health problems including bad teeth, obesity and skin problems such as acne. Studies carried out in the United States, however, give no support to this idea. Specific tests were carried out. One group of people who suffer from acne was given regular amounts of chocolate, while another group of similar sufferers had no chocolate at all. At the end of the test period the two groups were compared. No difference in the condition of the acne sufferers was noticed. Chocolate contains fat and sugar, so if you ate a lot of chocolate you would probably put on weight. But reasonable amounts of chocolate in your diet will not make you fat. People usually get fat because they eat too much food in general, especially if they are not very active. What about the effect on your teeth? Chocolate can damage your teeth, but the danger is less than many people believe. It is good to know that eating a certain amount of chocolate may even be good for you. Chocolate contains protein, vitamins and minerals. Scientists believe chocolate may reduce the risk of heart disease. Perhaps the most amazing thing of all is that it can help you fight off illness. The important thing is not the chocolate in itself, but the pleasure that it gives you. Even the smell of chocolate can have a positive effect on your immune system. It is nice to smell chocolate of course, but it is much better to eat it. And the great thing is that you can eat it without fear. 2. People eat a lot of chocolate. Read aloud the extract which says about it. 3. What health problems do people traditionally connect with eating chocolate? 4. What facts prove that chocolate can be good for our health? Хорошие новости для любителей шоколада! Трудно было бы найти человека, который не любит шоколад. В США шоколад покупают чаще, чем другие виды конфет, в Британии каждый человек съедает в среднем 11кг в год. Это много шоколада! В США люди съедают около 200 шоколадных плиток в секунду. Люди так любят шоколад, что часто думают, что это плохая привычка. Но есть хорошая новость для всех шоколадоголиков: употребление шоколада приносит меньше вреда, чем вы думаете. Люди часто уверены, что шоколад является причиной многих проблем со здоровьем, включая плохие зубы, ожирение, а также кожные проблемы, такие как угревая сыпь. Исследования, проведенные в США, однако, не поддерживают эту точку зрения. Проводились специальные тесты. Одной группе людей, которые страдают угревой сыпью, регулярно давали много шоколада, в то время как другой группе с такими же проблемами вообще не давали шоколада. В конце эксперимента сравнили две группы. Никакой разницы не было замечено. Шоколад содержит жир и сахар, поэтому, если вы съели много шоколада, возможно, вы наберете вес. Но разумное количество шоколада в вашей диете не сделает вас жирным. Люди обычно становятся жирными потому, что слишком много едят вообще, особенно если не очень активные. А какое же влияние шоколад имеет на зубы? Шоколад может навредить вашим зубам, но опасность меньше, чем люди думают. Хорошо знать, что съедать определенное количество шоколада может быть даже полезным. Шоколад содержит протеин, витамины, минералы. Ученые уверены, что шоколад может снизить риск сердечных заболеваний. Возможно, самое приятное во всем этом, что он может помочь бороться с некоторыми болезнями. Важен не сам шоколад, а удовольствие, которое он дает, даже запах шоколада может оказать позитивный эффект на вашу иммунную систему. Запах шоколада, конечно, хорошо, но намного лучше его съесть. И самое основное, что вы можете есть его без страха.
