UNIT TWO EARLY TO BED, EARLY TO RISE MAKES A MAN HEALTHY, WEALTHY AND WISE Topic: My Working Day TOPICAL VOCABULARY
Some Good Rules 1. Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. 2. Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today. 31 After dinner sit a while, after supper walk a mile. 4. Lost time is never found again. 5. An hour in the morning is worth two in the evening. 6. The early bird catches the worm. Text A. An Englishman's Diary (after Stephanie Andrews) An Englishman's day - and who can describe it better than an Englishman's wife? It begins when he sits down to breakfast with his morning newspaper. As he looks through the headlines there is nothing he likes better than his favourite breakfast of cornflakes with milk and sugar (porridge if he lives in the North), fried bacon and eggs, marmalade on toast and tea (with milk, of course) or coffee. He in fact gets such a meal if there is enough money in the family to buy it. After breakfast, except on Saturdays and Sundays which are holidays, he goes to work by train, tube, bus, car, motor scooter, motor bike or walks there. He leaves home at 7: 30. At offices or factories there is a tea or coffee break at eleven. Then at mid-day everything stops for lunch. Most offices and shops close for an hour from one to two. Englishmen are fond of good plain food, and they usually want to know what they eat. They like beefsteaks, chops, roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, fried fish and chipped potatoes. There are usually two courses in the mid-day meal - a meat course with a lot of vegetables, a sweet dish, perhaps fruit pudding and custard with tea or coffee to finish. Then back to work again with another break in the middle of the afternoon, once again for tea or coffee, sometimes with a cake or biscuit. The working day finishes at any time between four and six. When an Englishman gets home he likes to inspect his garden before the evening meal: tea, high tea, dinner or supper. When his evening meal is over, the Englishman may do a little gardening and then have a walk to the " local" (the nearest beerhouse) for a " quick one" (a drink, alcoholic, of course! ). There are a lot of people at the " local" and he can play darts, dominoes, billiards or discuss the weather, the local events or the current situation. But if the Englishman stays at home, he may listen to the radio, watch television, talk or read. Then at any time between 10 and 12 he has his " nightcap" -- a drink with a snack - and then off to bed ready for tomorrow. Text B. A Student's Day Paul: What time do you get up on week days? Bob: I generally get up at seven o'clock. Paul: Why so early? Bob: Because I have a lot of things to do before I leave for the University. Paul: Do you do your morning exercises regularly? Bob: Yes, that's what I begin with as a rule. Then comes the usual procedure of making my bed, washing and so on. Paul: Do you take a bath every morning? Bob: No, I don't. As a matter of fact, I hardly ever take a bath in the morning. I prefer taking a shower. Then I clean my teeth, comb my hair and get dressed. Paul: Who makes your breakfast for you? Bob: If my mother is not up yet I make my breakfast myself. If my mother is up, she does. After breakfast I usually help Mother to clean np. Paul: Good for you! That's what I call a model young man. And when do you leave home? Bob: Generally at half past eight, as it takes me about twenty minutes to get to the University. Paul: Do you walk to the University or do you take a trolley-bus? Bob: I always take a trolley-bus in the morning. But after classes I sometimes walk home. Paul: You go home right after classes, don't you? Bob: Sometimes I do, and sometimes I don't. If I can prepare for the next day's classes at home, I go straight home. If I haven't got the necessary books and journals at home, I go to the library.

All's Well That Ends Well It was about midnight when the letter arrived (прибывать, приходить). It dropped through the letterbox at John's feet. John was about (собирался) to lock (запирать) the door for the night. He opened the door and looked outside; there was nobody anywhere about. He closed the door slowly and looked at the letter. Yes, the letter was for him. He opened it. Inside there was a single sheet of paper, and on it were the words, " In ten minutes you will be dead" (``Через 10 минут ты умрешь''), John hurried to the telephone, lifted the receiver arid dialed 999. There was no answer. He tried again, then he realized the phone didn't work. Was there any connection between the useless phone and the letter? He decided to go to the call box down the road. John opened the door and listened for a few seconds. All was quiet. He looked once more at the letter. At that moment the doorbell rang and somebody touched him on the shoulder... " John, John! " someone said, " It's time to get up." John turned over in bed and saw his wife looking at him. " That's the last time I eat much before I go to bed, " he said. Questions: 1.

Read the story and retell it: A Day Off Work Last Wednesday morning Bill rang Mr. Thomson, his boss, at the office and said that he was not well. " All right, " said his boss. " You may stay in bed today if you are not well." Mr. Thomson liked Bill very much. At lunch time he bought some fruit and took it to Bill. Bill thanked him and said he would be able to come the next day. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon Mr. Thomson locked his office door and switched on his portable TV set. He wanted to watch an important international football match. It was England against Brazil. Both teams (команда) were playing well. It was very-exciting. At 3.20 England scored a goal (забить гол). Mr. Thomson jumped out of his chair. He was very excited. He was smiling happily. When suddenly the cameraman focused on the crowd, Mr. Thomson stopped smiling and looked very angry. Bill's face was there on the screen. He didn't look ill at all. 1). Describe the next morning at the office. Use the words: to praise (хвалить), to punish (наказать), to fire (уволить), to shout at (кричать на), to discuss. UNIT THREE HOME IS WHERE YOU MAKE IT Topic: My Flat (House) TOPICAL VOCABULARY
Some Good Rules 1. East or West, home is best. 2. Dry bread at home is better than roast meat abroad. 3. There's no place like home. 4. Home is home, though it be never so homely. 5. Englishman's home is his castle. My Favourite Room My favourite room is our kitchen. Perhaps the kitchen is the most important room in many houses, but it is particularly so in our house because it's not only where we cook and eat but it's also the main meeting place for family and friends. I have so many happy memories of times spent there: special occasions such as homecomings* or cooking Christmas dinner; troubled times, which lead to comforting cups of tea in the middle of the night; ordinary daily events such as making breakfast on dark, cold winter mornings for cross, sleepy children before sending them off to school, then sitting down to read the newspaper with a steaming hot mug of coffee. Whenever we have a party, people gravitate with their drinks to the kitchen. It always ends up the fullest and noisiest room in the house. So what does this special room look like? It's quite big, but not huge. It's big enough to have a good-sized rectangular table in the centre, which is the focal point* of the room. There is a large window above the sink, which looks out onto two apple trees in the garden. The cooker is at one end, and above it is a wooden pulley, which is old-fashioned but very useful for drying clothes in wet weather. At the other end is a wall with a large notice-board, which tells the story of our lives, past, present, and future, in words and pictures: a school photo of Megan and Kate, a postcard from Auntie Nancy in Australia, the menu from a takeaway Chinese restaurant, a wedding invitation for next Saturday. All our world is there for everyone to read! The front door is seldom used in our house, only by strangers. All our friends use the back door, which means they come straight into the kitchen and join in whatever is happening there. The kettle goes on immediately and then we all sit round the table, drinking tea and putting the world to rights! Without doubt some of the happiest times of my life have been spent in our kitchen. (from Headway. New English Course Intermediate Liz & John Soars) Notes homecoming -- возвращение домой из отлучки. focal point - центр. * * * Jack: Hello, Pete! Pete: Nice to see you. Come in, please. Jack: Oh, this is a wonderful new flat! Pete: Yes, it is, and so close to the centre. Jack: How many rooms are there in your fiat? Pete: Come and see... This is the kitchen, the bathroom is on the right. Jack: Oh, the kitchen is so large! I like big kitchens. Pete: And here is the dining room. We have little furniture here. We want to have some armchairs, a sofa and some more things. Jack: Are you on the phone? (У вас есть телефон? ) Pete: It's a pity, we aren't yet... Let me introduce you to my wife. Pete's wife: How do you dо. I hope you'll enjoy our housewarming party. Arranging the House Barbara: Give me a hand with this sideboard, Charles. I want it over there by the settee. Charles: Don't you think it would be better under that picture by the armchair? Barbara: No. The picture isn't staying there anyway. I only hung it on the wall because it was in the way on the floor. We can arrange the pictures when all the furniture is in place. Charles: Where did I put my big screwdriver? It's not in the toolbox and I want to tighten up these loose screws on the door hinges. Barbara: You had it in your hand when you went into the kitchen just now. Perhaps you left it there. Charles: Yes, I think I put it down on the shelf above the sink. I'll go and fetch it. Barbara: Pass me that brash behind the chair before you go; and take your tools off that nice polished table. You'll spoil all our furniture before you finish. Charles: Don't keep on nagging. I've got to put them somewhere. By the way, have you seen the cat this morning? You didn't shut him outside last night, did you? He'll get lost. Barbara: No. He's definitely inside the house. I expect he's fed up with all the fuss and noise. He's probably crept into a cupboard somewhere and gone to sleep. Charles: That's just what I'd like to do. I'm tired of it all as well. EXERCISES 1.

One day when they were working in the park near the girl's house, she said to him, " Tomorrow is my birthday, will you come and have dinner with me? " " Of course, I shall, " said the young man, " and I'll send you red roses, one rose for each year of your life." The same evening the young man went to a florist's. As the girl was twenty years old, he paid for twenty roses and asked the florist to send them to the girl's house the next day. He left her address and a letter full of love. The florist knew the young man very well because he often bought flowers in his shop. The florist thought, " The young man is a good customer, my price for the roses is too high, I'll send thirty roses instead of twenty.". And he did so. In the afternoon when the young man came to see his girlfriend, she didn't want to speak to him. He was very unhappy and went back home. But he never knew why she was so angry with him. As Cool as Cucumber In 19611 was spending my summer holidays in Oxford. It was 15 years since 1 had last been there and I was dying to find out how the English way of life had changed since the end of the war. It was with great pleasure that I accepted the invitation of an Oxford professor to go and see him at his house just outside the town. Knowing how curious I was, he showed me into his kitchen, bathroom, lounge, sitting-room, dining-room, and study, where there was one of the biggest collections of books I had ever seen. Next we took a walk round the garden and then we went upstairs. He showed me into his bedroom, running water and electric heater inclusive, and to other bedrooms intended for casual visitors. - And that's the door to my wife's bedroom - he said - walk right in. I did. What I saw there made me take a step back, but it was too late... The professor had followed me and presently he was looking at his wife in the arms of a bullnecked fellow... About 30 seconds passed and then he said - - This is my wife, and mis is Mr. Nipper, a friend of the family. As I was shaking hands with the professor's wife I kept looking at my host. He was as cool as cucumber, though a trifle pale... Next the professor and I went downstairs to the sitting-room, and as I watched him fill the glasses, I could not help thinking about the chap upstairs, - But what about Mr. Nipper? -1 burst out at last. The professor raised his glass and said icily - - My dear fellow, Mr. Nipper doesn't drink... ( from Shaggy Dog Stories ) UNIT FOUR

English Meals
Frankly we, the British, are often criticised for the food we have, our cuisine doesn't enjoy the best of reputations in the world.
I, for one, think that food is not so important. The main problem is not to eat too much to keep fit.
Being Miss England, certainly, means being slim. I have to be on a slimming diet. Though " have to " is not the right word.
I enjoy my diet. My motto is: " We don't live to eat, we eat to live."
I believe a lot of people in this country are constantly overeating. Most of them have four good meals a day.
And the famous English breakfast! It is often called a cooked breakfast or a big breakfast which it really is.
Can you fancy eating at a time porridge or cornflakes or some other kind of cereal, bacon or bam, eggs, toasts, rolls, jam or marmalade and tea or coffee to finish with? It's too much of a good thing, isn't it? I prefer continental breakfast, that is just a cup of coffee and a roll. Now many people in Britain have the same specially on weekdays when they are hurrying to their work.
The English day-time meal is called lunch and it usually consists of two courses: a meat or a fish dish, vegetables and dessert. Some people though don't eat much at lunch, they may just have a snack in a snack-bar or a cafe.
Many books on Britain write about the famous 5 o'clock tea, saying that the British always have tea at this time. I should say in reality not many people can follow the tradition as they are busy at work or elsewhere. So they have to adjust their tea-time to their daily schedule.
We, the. Britons, are great tea-drinkers. We drink it even when watching television. Not long ago I saw an advertisement " Join the TeaV-set." By the way, do you know that the British like taking their tea with milk? Taste it, I'm sure you will like it.
In the evening at 7 or 8 o'clock people in England have their last but not the least meal of the day. If the late evening meal is light, it is called supper. But if you take something substantial, then we call it dinner. We don't often eat soups, but if we do, that would most often be at dinner time.
I should say the British people do not eat oat as much as other Europeans do, still many of them would enjoy a dinner at a restaurant. Today the number of people eating out has increased.
But the most popular place for a drink and a chat is a pub. And that's where I am inviting you now. Shall we go?

5. Translate the following text into Russian (in writing). Say if you agree or disagree with what is said in it add some more information about meals in your country.
Meals in Rnssia
The Russian custom of having meals varies from family to family, but we generally eat three meals a day. They are breakfast, dinner and supper. Some people also have late afternoon tea.
Breakfast generally comes before eight o'clock in the morning, as most people start for work and the children must leave for school. Some Russian families have a light continental breakfast. But most of the families make breakfast quite a big meal of the day. It usually includes some kind of porridge, fried eggs or sausages and vegetables followed by coffee or tea.
Dinner is the main and the biggest meal of the day. Russians generally eat it somewhere between one or two o'clock. The working people eat dinner away from home as a rule. Every factory and office has a dining-room or some kind of cafeteria. They generally plan some meat for dinner or fish for a change. In addition to the meat dish Russian dinner always includes some soup, potatoes or rice as garnish. They finish dinner with coffee, tea, milk or juice.
Supper is the third meal of the day and the lightest one. It comes somewhere between seven and nine o'clock in the evening. It consists of some sandwiches, fruit or biscuits and tea or hot milk.
