VIRTUAL REALITY

Not long ago computers were considered an amazing invention. Today they form part of our everyday lives. The latest thing today is Virtual Reality. A Virtual Reality system can transport the user to exotic locations such as a beach in Hawaii or the inside of the human body. The Virtual Reality system is still in the early stages of its development. At the moment it is necessary to put a large helmet on your head to see the simulated world and you have to wear a special glove on your hand in order to manipulate the objects you see there. Lenses and two miniature display screens inside the helmet create the illusion that the screen surrounds you on every side. You can “look behind” computer-generated objects, pick them up and examine them, walk around and see things from a different angle. Already today Virtual Reality is used in medicine. In hospitals, surgeons could plan operations by first “travelling” through the brain, heart or lungs without damaging the body. It is also used in police training schools. In schools pupils could explore the Great Pyramid or study molecules from the inside. Developers of Virtual Reality say its potential is powerful. The word, which comes closest to describing Virtual Reality, is “simulator”. Virtual Reality technology resembles the flight simulators that are used to train pilots. But of course there are dangers as well as benefits. In the wrong hands Virtual Reality can be used for power fantasies. The right question A: …? B: Yes, we do.

Looking for a job. (after M. Gold)

When I was twelve, I was one of the best pupils at public school. My parents were proud of me. They wanted me to go to high school. I refused to go to high school. There were four children in my family. My mother could not work. Could my father get the money for all of us? Of course, not. Miss Barry, an English teacher, tried to get me to go to high school, But I told her that my father was unable to support me I would have to work. She asked me to promise her to study. I told her that I would, though I knew it was a lie. But I loved books, I was carried away by many books, I wanted very much to go to high school and college. Miss Barry presented me with a book. I thanked her for it and threw it. I told myself that I hated books, that they were lies and were different from life. It was not easy to find my first job. I looked for it for months. At last I found a job. It was in a factory. The place was dark and hot, the air was poisoned. I forgot my college hopes, I could not sleep at night. My mother made me leave the job. Months passed before I found another job, this time in a printing shop. Then it was a job in a shop, at a chemist’s. Jobs. Jobs. I went from one to another without plan, without hope. I was at a loss what to do. One day I stopped to listen to a man who was speaking about the struggle for a better life. The words brought hope to me and made me think, struggle and live. It was the great beginning for me. (300 words)/ What episode helped him to change his life:

ABOUT FORKS

In 1608 an Englishman whose name was Thomas Coryate visited Italy. He liked the country and noted down every interesting thing he found. But there was one thing which he found more interesting than the others. In his diary Thomas wrote, “When the Italians eat meat, they use small forks. They don‟t eat with hands because, as they say, do not always have clean hands”. Before leaving for England, Thomas Coryate bought a few forks. At home Thomas gave a dinner party to show the invention to his friends. When the servant brought the steak, he took out a fork and began to eat like they did in Italy. Everybody looked at him in surprise. When he told his friends what it was, they all wanted to take a good look at the strange thing. All his friends said that the Italians were very strange people because the fork was very inconvenient. Thomas Coryate tried to prove the opposite. He said it was not nice to eat with one‟s fingers because they were not always clean. Everybody got angry at that. Did Mr. Coryate think that people in England always had dirty hands? And weren‟t the ten fingers they had enough for them? Thomas Coryate wanted to show that it was very easy to use the fork. But the first piece of meat he took with the fork fell to the floor. His friends began to laugh and he had to take the fork away. Only fifty years later people in England began to use forks. The correct question to the sentence Before leaving for England, Thomas Coryate bought a few forks.

Reading literacy Instruction: Read the text carefully and do the tasks on the text correctly. Charlie Chaplin He was believed to have been born on April 16, 1889. There is some doubt whether April 16 is actually his birthday, and it is possible he was not born in 1889. There is also uncertainty about his birthplace: London or Fontainebleau, France. There is no doubt, however, as to his parentage: he was born to Charles Chaplin, Sr. and Hannah Harriette Hill (aka Lily Harley on stage), both Music Hall entertainers. His parents separated soon after his birth, leaving him in the care of his unstable mother. In 1896, Chaplin's mother was unable to find work; Charlie and his older half-brother Sydney Chaplin had to be left in the workhouse at Lambeth, moving after several weeks to Hanwell School for Orphans and Destitute Children. His father died an alcoholic when Charlie was 12, and his mother suffered a mental breakdown, and was eventually admitted temporarily to the Cane Hill Asylum at Coulsdon (near Croydon). She died in 1928 in the United States, two years after coming to the States to live with Chaplin, by then a commercial success. Charlie first took to the stage when, aged five, he performed in Music Hall in 1894, standing in for his mother. As a child, he had to be in bed for weeks due to a serious illness. In 1900, his brother helped get him the role of a comic cat in the pantomime Cinderella at the London Hippodrome. In 1903 he appeared in 'Jim, A Romance of Cockayne', followed by his first regular job, as the newspaper boy Billy in Sherlock Holmes, a part he played into 1906. This was followed by Casey's 'Court Circus' variety show, and, the following year, he became a clown in Fred Karno's 'Fun Factory' slapstick comedy company. His first serious job was … .

The Joy and Enthusiasm of Reading I believe in the absolute and unlimited liberty of reading. I believe in wandering through the huge stacks of books and picking out the first thing that strikes me. I believe in choosing the hardest book imaginable. I believe in reading what others have to say about this difficult book, and then making up my own mind, agreeing or disagreeing with what I have read and understood. What Mr. Buxton did not tell me was what the play meant. He left the conclusions to me. The situation was much the same with my history teacher in 11th grade, Mr. Flanders, who encouraged me to have my own relationship with historical events and my own attitude to them. He often quoted famous historians in the process. All the works I read were open texts. It was an exciting experience. Besides, I got familiar with wonderful works of literary criticism. No doubt they arrived at these beliefs through their own adventures in the stacks. Perhaps their adventures were not so exciting or romantic. And these are important questions for philosophers of every character. But yet I know only what joy and enthusiasm about reading have taught me, in bookstores new and used. They have taught me not to be afraid of something new, unusual or non-traditional, not to deny it but embrace it and try to understand even if you cannot agree with it. Not to stay within the boundaries but always seek for something new and enjoy every second of this creative process and be happy every time you get some result, no matter how positive or negative. You could spend a lifetime thinking about a sentence, and making it your own. In just this way, I believe in the freedom to see literature, history, truth, unfolding ahead of me like a book whose spine has just now been cracked. The unlimited liberty of reading for the narrator mean…

At the customs house A Frenchwoman decided to go to Great Britain for a holiday. She booked a seat for a plane as she wanted to get there as soon as possible. At the booking – office she found out that it would take her only two hours to get to London. She was very happy. She hurried home and began packing her things as she was afraid to leave something important behind. After she had packed everything, she found, that she had two big suit-cases. She ordered a taxi in advance to come to the airport on time. On the day of her flight, she checked her things again, when she suddenly remembered about her nice little dog. She could not leave the dog at home as there was no one who would look after it. So, she decided to take the dog to GB. The flight was very pleasant. The Frenchwoman thought that nobody noticed her dog. But just before the plane landed one of the passengers who was sitting near the woman told her that the English did not let foreigners bring dogs to their country. The woman did not know what to do. When the plane landed, she put the dog under her coat and went to the Customs House. The dog was so little that she hoped the Customs officer wouldn’t notice it. At the Custom’s House she filled in all the necessary forms and came up to the Customs officer, who looked at her big suit-cases and asked if she had anything to declare. “Oh, no,” she answered, “all the things are for my own use.” “But do you know that you can’t bring dogs to this country?” asked the officer. “But I have no dog,” answered the lady. ‘Then I understand the tail which is hanging down below your coat is your own,” said the Customs Officer. Found out means…

Food Food is an important substance for human organism. It mainly consists of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Besides these three nutritive materials, food can also be divided into two groups – meals of plant origin and meals of animal origin. The first group (plant meals) is everything that grows out of our earth. First of all these are vegetables. Vegetables have a tiny amount of calories and are very rich in fiber. Certainly fruit is there where vegetable is. Comparing with veggies, fruit is more dangerous for one's figure, because any fruit is primarily a carbohydrate product. In this respect an intake of fruits doesn’t have to exceed 500-700 grams per day. Any seeds are also included in our list – legumes and cereals. The second group (animal meals) is all elements of our nutrition, which are obtained directly from animals. For the most part it’s milk and eggs. Consequently all dairy products turn to be animal food automatically, that is – cheese, curds, ryazhenka, kefir, organic yoghurts and so on. Honey also takes place in this list as well as meat (beef, veal, pork) and meal products (sausages, cutlets). The most wholesome food is the food from the first group. The thing is, nourishment like that suits all people – the sick, the healthy, the little and the old. Nonetheless, the second group won’t do harm to healthy people too, especially if it’s not consumed in a processed form. Which sentence contradicts the text?
