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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
