TOPIC 1

TextMy Working Day (p75)

Hello. My name is Vlad Volkov and I am a college student. I am in my first year now.

I want to tell you about my usual working day.

It is 6.30 am and my younger brother Alexei is knocking at the door of my bedroom. "Will you jog with me today?" he asks. This is the way every morning begins for me. I went jogging last year but then I have become “lazier and Alexei uses every chance to mock at me. He goes jogging regularly and he is a “good sportsman by the way - so his coach says. Alexei goes in for tennis and he has been playing football since he went to primary school. He is the best forward in his team.

Alexei goes away and I stay in bed a little while longer. But anyway it is time to get up. I go to the bathroom and take a shower and clean my teeth, then come back to my room and switch on the television to watch the news while I am brushing my hair, shaving and putting my clothes on.

Now it is time for breakfast. All my family is at table- my mother, my father, Alexei and myself. We have scrambled eggs and bacon, a cup of tea and sandwiches. We chat and discuss news. I think it is right time to introduce my family members to you. My mother "s name is Mary. She is a children" s doctor. My father "s name is Alexander and he is an engineer. Alexei is still a schoolboy. He is four years my junior. Oh, I haven" t yet told you about my elder sister. Her name is Nina. She is married. Her husband and she rent a flat not far from our place.

After breakfast I look through my notes- just in case I have left something behind, put on my coat, then say good-bye to my mother and leave home. My father gives me a lift to the college in his car. He starts working later than my classes begin.

I arrive at my college just in time to say hello to my fellow-students before the bell goes. As a rule, we have three or four periods every day. We go to college five days a week. Saturday and Sunday are our days off. We have lectures and seminars. Sometimes we work in the workshops. To my mind, these are the most interesting lessons. My friends say that we will be having a test in English today. I think that tests writing in grammar is more difficult than speaking English. I hope I won "t fail.

During the breaks we go to the gym and play a round or two of basketball or volleyball. My friend John and I are-fond of reading fantasy and we discuss the latest book by Nick Perumov. He asks me if I liked the book that he had given me. I tell him that I will have read the book by the end of the week.

At 1 pm we have a long break. We go to the canteen and have a roll and a cup of juice. Then there is one more period, which is Mathematics. It is my favorite subject. The classes are over at 2.40 pm. Sometimes I go to the library to study there, but today I don "t.

On my way home I see my girlfriend Lena. She smiles at me and we walk together for a while. I suddenly remember that we will have been dating for a year next week. 1 will go and look for a present for her tomorrow. When we first met at a party, I told her that she was the prettiest girl in the world and I had been looking for her all my life. Now I think that she is not only the most beautiful girl, but also the best friend. I am really fond of her. She is still a schoolgirl; she is leaving school this year. Lena "s dream is to enter Moscow State University.

I come to my place at about 4 pm. Mother is already at home. She is cooking in the kitchen. Soon my father and brother arrive and we have dinner together. After dinner I do my lessons for tomorrow, watch television and read. I don "t go out because the weather has become worse. I go to bed at about 11.30 pm.

TEXT TRANSLATION My working day (p. 75)

Hello. My name is Vlad Volkov and I am a college student. I'm in my first year now. I want to tell you about my typical working day.

It's half past six in the morning and my younger brother Alexei knocks on my bedroom door. "Will you run with me today?" he asks. This is how it starts every morning for me. I started running last year, but then I got lazy, and Alexey never misses a chance to pin me up. He runs all the time and by the way, he is a good athlete, as his coach says. Alexey has been playing tennis and playing football since he started elementary school. He is the best striker on his team.

Alexei leaves, and I lie in bed a little longer. But, anyway, it's time to get up. I go to the bathroom, shower, brush my teeth, then go back to my room and turn on the TV to watch the news while I comb, shave and dress.

Now is breakfast time. My whole family is at the table - mom, dad, Alexey and me. We eat ham and eggs and tea and sandwiches. We chat and discuss the news. I think now is the right time to introduce my family members to you. My mother's name is Maria, she is a pediatrician. Dad's name is Alexander, he is an engineer. Alexey is still at school. He is 4 years younger than me. Yes, I haven't told you about my older sister yet. Her name is Nina and she is married. She and her husband rent an apartment not far from our house.

After breakfast I go through my notes, in case I forgot something, put on my jacket, say goodbye to my mother and leave the house. Dad gives me a ride to college in his car. He starts working later than my lessons begin.

I arrive at college just in time to say hello to my friends before the bell rings. As a rule, we have 3 - 4 pairs a day. We go to college 5 days a week. Saturday and Sunday are our days off. We have lectures and seminars. Sometimes we work in workshops. From my point of view, these are the most interesting lessons. My friends say that today we will have a software test. English language... I find writing grammar tests more difficult than speaking English. I hope I won't fail.

During recess, we go to the gym and play basketball or volleyball. My friend Zhenya and I are fond of reading science fiction and discussing the latest book by Nick Perumov. He asks if I liked the book he gave. I say I will finish it by the end of the week.

We have a big break at one o'clock. We go to the dining room, eat a bun with juice. Then another pair - mathematics. This is my favorite subject. Lessons end at 14:40. Sometimes I go to the library to study, but today I won't.

On the way home, I meet my girlfriend Lena. She smiles at me, and we walk together a little. Suddenly it dawns on me that next week will be the year we meet. Tomorrow I'll go and look for a present for her. When we met for the first time at a party, I told her that she is the most beautiful girl in the world, and I have been looking for her all my life. Now I think that she is not only the most beautiful, but also the best friend. I love her for real. She is still a schoolgirl. Finishes this year. Lena dreams of going to Moscow State University.

I return home at about four o'clock. Mom is already at home. She is cooking in the kitchen. Dad and brother will come soon, we will all have lunch together. After lunch I do my homework the next day, watch TV, read. I don't go outside because the weather has turned bad. I go to bed at about half past eleven.

I am studying at a technical school and I don't have a lot of free time. But I always find time for my hobby. I really love taking pictures. Recently my parents gave me an expensive and very good camera, and I spend a lot of time looking for interesting shots. I love taking pictures of my friends. When we go on a hike or walk around the city, I always have my camera with me. I already have 4 albums of photographs, and friends love to look at them when they come to visit me.

Speak about your hobby.

My hobby

Hobbies differ like tastes. If you have chosen a hobby according to your character and taste you are lucky because your life becomes more interesting

Hobbies are divided into four large classes: doing things, making things, collecting things and learning things.

The most popular of all hobby groups is doing things. It includes a wide variety of activities, everything from gardening to traveling and from chess to volleyball.

Gardening is one of the oldest of man's hobbies. It is a well known fact that the English are very fond of gardening and growing flowers especially roses.

Both grown-ups and children are fond of playing different computer games. This is a relatively new hobby but it is becoming more and more popular.

Making things includes drawing, painting, making sculpture, designing costumes, handicrafts. Two of the most famous hobby painters were President Eisenhover and Sir Winston Churchill. Some hobbyists write music or play musical instruments. President Bill Clinton, for example, plays the saxophone.

Almost everyone collects something at some period of his life: stamps, coins, match –boxes, books, records, post cards, toys, watches. Some collections have no real value. Others become so large and so valuable that they are housed in museums and galleries. Many world- famous collections started in a small way with one or two items. People with a good deal of money often collect paintings, rare books and other art objects. Often such private collections are given to museums, libraries and public galleries so that others might take pleasure in seeing them.

No matter what kind of hobby a person has, he always has an opportunity of learning from it. By reading about the things he is interested in, he is adding to what he knows. Learning things can be the most exciting aspect of a hobby.

TEXT Getting Ready for a Party. Cooking. Shopping (p 111)

Vlad "s birthday is on the eleventh of October. His friends are coming to his place and they are going to have a party. In the morning on the tenth of October Vlad and his mother are talking in the kitchen.

Mother: Darling, will you help me with cooking?

Vlad: Sure. But aren "t you afraid that I spoil everything? 1 am not much of a cook.

Mother: Actually, there is nothing you can spoil. Just take the carrot and four or five potatoes, put them into the pot, boil them for about half an hour. Then peel and dice them, thpn put all them into that blue bowl.

Vlad: What are these vegetables for?

Mother: They are for your favorite meat salad, of course. Then add pickles, peas, three boiled eggs and sausage.

Vlad: And mayonnaise, of course.

Mother: Ah, certainly. And we "ve run out of mayonnaise. When you and Dad go shopping don" t forget to buy some.

Vlad: All right. And what about green peas? I don "t see any in the fridge.

Mother: Don "t you? I thought we had some left. Anyway, you can include a can of green peas in your shopping list.

Vlad: Mum, what are you going to cook for the main course?

Mother: I think beef stroganoff is a nice choice,

Vlad: Beef stroganoff? This is meat cooked in sour cream and served with rice, isn "t it?

Mother: Exactly. How do you like this?

Vlad: You know, it is what I really like.

Mother: Of course, I know it very well. By the way, I don "t think I" ll bother about baking a pie. You will buy a nice cake and I "ll bake some cookies.

Vlad: Certainly. Well, as soon as the salad is ready, Dad and I will go shopping.

Mother: All right, here is the shopping list.

In the Supermarket (p112)

Father Let "s begin from the very beginning. Do we have to buy any dairy products?

Vlad: Yes, we "ll take half a kilo of sour cream and three hundred grams of mayonnaise.

Father: Do you want any cheese? There is no cheese in the list.

Vlad: What about taking some? Just to be on the safe side.

Father: How much shall we take, do you think?

Vlad: About four hundred grams. This piece will do.

Father: Right. Let "s take a packet of milk as well.

Vlad: What about canned goods? We need a can of peas, a can of strawberry jam for the cookies and a liter of sunflower oil.

Vlad: Do we have to buy any meat?

Father: No, we don "t. But we must buy some salami.

Vlad: Shall I ask the shop assistant to slice it?

Father: We "d better buy sliced salami in a vacuum package. It has a better taste, in my opinion. And what will you say about buying some smoked salmon?

Vlad: I’d love some. Take this pack, please, will you? Now let "s go to the confectionery, I want to choose a chocolate cake!

TEXT Sales Tax (p113)

Cities and states in the USA have the right to charge an additional percentage of the cost of some goods.

In most places, the sales tax is from 5 to 10 per cent of the price of goods you buy. You should pay the sales tax for many non-food items, such as technical equipment, books, records, household products, appliances, cameras and films. You will pay a sales tax for prepared food, for example, when you are in a restaurant. You must remember that the prices listed on items in stores do not include sales tax - a cashier will add it to your bill.

TEXT At Home in the USA (p. 133)

The United States is often portrayed as a country of skyscrapers. In fact, this is not entirely true. Tall buildings are located in the center (downtown), they house offices of large companies, banks and shops. Real America begins with small cozy houses built for one family with children. Each house has its own style, its own "face", its inhabitants decorate it with love and care. Of course, young people under 25 do not worry about having their own house, they prefer not to buy a house, but to rent it. But after the engagement, they begin to look for suitable housing for themselves. The engagement lasts from six months to three years (sometimes even longer), but one way or another, and by the age of thirty, young people begin to live in their own homes.

The typical house is two-storey. The first floor houses the living room, hall and kitchen, while the second floor houses the bedrooms. The garage is located downstairs. An American will say, “I live in a two-bedroom house,” which means the house is not very large, or “My house has 5 bedrooms,” which means the house is quite large. There is usually a small garden or lawn in front of the house. There is usually a laundry room in the basement, and sometimes even a gym! Winters are rarely harsh in the US, so the walls are not thick. Houses are built very quickly. The construction company needs 3-4 months. To build a new home. Of course, the houses have all the comforts.

Houses can be located quite far from the center. Living far from the center is not a problem, as every family member has a car.

Houses in the USA (p.133)

The USA is often pictured as a country of skyscrapers. In fact, it is not quite so. The tall buildings are located in the center (downtown), housing offices of large firms, banks and shops. Real America begins with little cozy houses designed for one family with children. Each house has its own style and "face"; its inhabitants decorate it with love and care. Of course, young people usually don "t bother about having a house of their own until their mid-twenties, and prefer renting an apartment to buying a house. As soon as they get engaged, they start looking for a suitable house to live in. Engagement lasts from half a year to three years (sometimes even longer), but anyway by the age of thirty the young couple starts living in a house of their own.

A typical house is two-storeyed. On the ground floor a sitting room, a hall and a kitchen are situated, while upstairs there are bedrooms. A garage is downstairs. An American will say: "I live in a two-bedroom house" which means the house is not very large, or: "There are five bedrooms in my house", which means the house is quite large. In front of the house there is usually a small garden or a lawn. In the basement there is often a laundry and sometimes even a gym! Winters are seldom severe in the USA, so the walls are not thick. The houses are built very quickly - it will take a building company three to four months to build a new house. Of course, there are all modern conveniences.

The houses may be located rather far from the center. Living far from the center is not a problem as every family member has a car.

My flat.

I live in a new 16-storeyed block of flats. It’s situated in a very picturesque place not far from the Moskva River. There is a big supermarket on the ground floor and it's very convenient to do everyday shopping.

Our flat is on the fifth floor. It’s very comfortable and well-planned. We have all modern conveniences, such as central heating, electricity, gas, hot and cold running water and a telephone. There are three rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom and a hall in our flat. There is also a balcony and we can enjoy a lovely view of the river.

The largest room in our flat is the living room and we use it as a dining room and as a sitting room. In the middle of the room there is a large table and six chairs round it. Opposite the window there is a wall unit with lots of books and a TV-set. There are two comfortable armchairs and a small coffee table in the right corner. There is also a sofa and an electric fire in our sitting room. We like the living room best of all, because in the evenings we gather there to have tea, watch TV, talk and just relax and rest.

My room is the smallest room in our flat, but it is very cozy and light. There is a bed, a wardrobe, a desk, an armchair and several bookshelves in my room. There is a thick carpet on the floor. The walls in my bedroom are yellow and there are some big posters on them. I like my room very much but from time to time I change it round. I quite often move the bed and change posters on the wall.

Our kitchen is large and light. It is well-equipped. We have got a refrigerator, a freezer, a microwave oven, a coffeemaker, a toaster and a dishwasher. We use it as a dining room in the mornings.

On Traveling (p 141)

People started traveling in the ancient times. The first travelers were pilgrims, nomads and explorers. Traveling was really dangerous in those days, but there were always brave and daring people who went on discovering new lands, in search of wealth and fame.

Nowadays things have changed significantly. Hundreds of companies are willing to help you if you are planning to go somewhere. You are free to choose where to go: you may want to spend a vacation in the mountains or by the sea, and a plane will take you to the place of your choice in a matter of hours. A lot of people will cater to the needs of the travelers in hotels and holiday centers all over the world. Visitors are amused and taken care of in any possible way. Holidaymaking has become one of the most profitable industries, and the budget of many countries, such as Turkey, Egypt and Greece depends on tourism a lot. Traveling has become easier - and maybe less exciting.

TEXT A Visit to a Doctor (p151)

On Monday Vlad felt unwell. He had a sore throat, a running nose and a bad cough. He went to college, but after the first period his teacher told him to go and see the doctor, because he had the symptoms of the flu, and it was a very catching disease. So Vlad left the college and went to a polyclinic. There were several people in the queue in front of the cabinet, but in less than half an hour Viad "s turn came and he entered.

Vlad: Good morning. May I come in?

Doctor: Yes, please. What is the matter with you?

Vlad: I think I have got a slight cold, doctor. I have a sore throat and a running nose.

Doctor: Do you cough?

Vlad: Yes, I do occasionally.

Doctor: Have you taken your temperature?

Vlad: As a matter of fact, I haven "t, doctor.

Doctor; Then take a seat. Here is a thermometer. Well, young man, your temperature is rather high - it is 38.4 °. Let me examine your throat. Now strip to the waist, please. I must sound your chest. All right, you may dress yourself.

Vlad: Well, doctor, is there anything serious the matter with me?

Doctor: Don "t worry; there is nothing really serious. You have got flu. It is spring now, and many people suffer from flu. But you shouldn" t treat your disease lightly. It often leads to complications, if a patient doesn "t follow the doctor" s advice.

Vlad: What am 1 to do, doctor?

Doctor: Here is the recipe, take these pills three times a day. Gargle your throat with this mixture every two hours. Don "t go to the chemist" s yourself. Ask your relatives to go and fetch the medicine for you. Drink hot tea or milk. And stay in bed for at least three days. Do you need a sick leave?

Vlad: Yes, I do.

Doctor: Then I "ll give you a leave for three days, and then you will come to see me again.

Vlad: Thank you very much, doctor. Goodbye.

Having left the polyclinic, Vlad went straight home. He asked Alexei to go to the chemist "s for the medicine and went to bed. He followed the doctor" s advice and did everything he had prescribed. His friends called him and asked how he felt. They wanted to come and see him, but Viad "s mother didn" t allow them to. So they sent him some to read. By the end of the third day Vlad stopped sneezing and coughing and his temperature was normal again. He was glad that he recovered.

Speaking about friends

Vlad: Good morning, mum. How are you?

Mother: Fine, thanks. Did you sleep well?

Vlad: Yes, thank you. And where is Dad?

Mother: He went out half an hour ago together with Alexei. They went shopping. Well, Vlad, it is your birthday soon. Are you going to have a birthday party this year?

Vlad: Well, I "d love to. You know, mum, now when I am at college I have got many new friends. It would be nice if I could invite them to my place.

Mother: Excellent idea! Let "s count how many friends you are going to call so that I can think about the menu and all the things.

Vlad: I want to ask my best friends. They are Ilya, Stepan and Igor.

Mother: Do I know any of them?

Vlad Ylad: I suppose you have seen Ilya. Maybe you remember that broad - shouldered fellow with fair hair and dark eyes. We came across him in the street the other day.

Mother: Ah, now I know whom you are talking about. He is fond of music and plays the guitar very well, as you told me. Okay, what about the rest?

Vlad: Stepan is a funny slim little guy with brown hair and a snub nose. He is fond of reading fantasy and T took several books from him to read. He is an easy-going fellow. I like to talk to him. He came to our place in October. But you were not in at that time. Dad saw him, I believe. And Igor is my new friend. He is very clever. He is a computer genius. The teachers say. But he is not a bookworm. He plays volleyball and swims well.

Mother: Do you want to call any of your former schoolmates?

Vlad: Actually, it will be nice to invite Misha. I haven "t seen him for ages.

Mother: Good! And will you ask Lena to come?

Vlad: Oh, yes, certainly!

Mother: Then you will invite your friends with their girlfriends, too.

Vlad: You are right, mum! Well, Igor "s girlfriend is at college with us, and Ilya took Masha hiking this summer, you know, when our group went on a three-days" hike. She is good-natured and friendly. And just a week ago I saw Stepan with a remarkable long-legged girl with blond hair. I suspect it is his new mate.

Mother: What about Misha?

Vlad: So far as I know, he doesn "t have a girlfriend at the moment.

Mother: Maybe you will invite one of your former classmates who is on friendly terms with him.

Vlad: Why not? I think I will invite Veronica. She is very sociable. I will be glad to see her, too.

Mother: So, how many people do we have, all in all?

Vlad: Let me see ... Igor and Olga, Stepan and his girlfriend, Ilya, Masha, Misha and Veronica. Ah, and Lena and me, of course. It makes ten people all together. Well, it is going to be a magnificent party, Mum

Mother: I am sure of that.

TEXT Talking about Friends (p. 89)

Vlad: Good morning, Mom. Ka to business?

Mum: OK, thank you. Did you sleep well?

Vlad: Yes thank you. Where is Dad?

Mum: He and Alexei left half an hour ago. Let's go to the shop. Vlad, it's your birthday soon. Are you going to have a party this year?

Vlad: Well, I would like to. You know, Mom, now that I'm in college, I have a lot of new friends. It would be great if I could invite them to my home.

Mum: Great idea! Let's count how many people you're going to invite so I can make up the menu and everything else.

Vlad: I want to invite my best friends. These are Ilya, Stepan and Igor.

Mum: Do I know any of them?

Vlad: I think you saw Ilya. Maybe you remember that broad-shouldered guy - blond with brown eyes? We ran into him the other day on the street.

Mum: And now I understand who you are talking about. He is interested in music and plays the guitar well. Okay, what about the rest?

Vlad: Stepan is a cheerful, thin, short guy with brown hair and a snub nose. He is into science fiction, and I borrowed several books from him to read. He is very pleasant to talk to. I love talking to him. He came to our house in October. But you weren't at home then. Dad saw him, I think. And Igor is my new friend. He's very smart. Teachers say he is a computer genius. But he's not a nerd. He plays volleyball and swims well.

Mum: Do you want to invite one of your former classmates?

Vlad: In fact, it would be nice to invite Misha. I haven't seen him in ages.

Mum: Okay, will you invite Lena?

Vlad: Oh sure!

Mum: Then you and your friends need to invite girls.

Vlad: You're right, mom! Well, Igor's girlfriend goes to college with us, and Ilya took Masha with him this summer, you know, when our group went camping for three days. She is good-natured and friendly. And about a week ago I saw Stepan with a beautiful long-legged blonde. I suspect this is his new girlfriend.

Mum: What about Misha?

Vlad: As far as I know, he has no one now.

Mum: Maybe you can invite someone from the class who is friends with him?

Vlad: Why not. I'll invite Veronica. She is very sociable. And I, too, will be pleased to see her.

Mum: So how many people did we end up with?

Mum: I'm sure.

TEXT Choosing a Present. Hobbies (p. 99)

Stepan: Hello, old boy. How are things?

Ilya: Not bad, thank you. Look, Stepan, has Vlad invited you to his birthday party?

Stepan: Yes, he has. And why are you asking?

Ilya: The matter is that he has invited me as well, "and I am now thinking about a present for him. It is always a difficult issue, isn" t it?

Stepan: I don "t think that it is such a great problem.

Ilya: Well, of course, you are going to give him a book in fantasy. Both of you know everything about this sort of thing.

Stepan: Actually not. You see, there is hardly a book in fiction he hasn "t read. What I am really thinking about is a photo album. So far as I know, he is fond of taking pictures and has a rather good camera. It" s not a bad present, is it?

Ilya: You see, just a month ago we went shopping together and he bought a large album.

Stepan: Thank you for telling me this thing. I didn "t know that.
