OTHER ENGLISH-SPEAKING COUNTRIES

I would like to tell you about another countries, where English is the official language. At first, it is the USA. After 350 years of development, the United States of America still holds the leading position in the western world. The USA is the most powerful and highly developed country in the world. What makes the USA the leader of the western world is its economic, political and military dominance over other countries. Canada is the second largest country in the world. Only Russia has a greater land area. Canada is situated in North America. About 28 million people live in Canada. Canada is an independent nation. However, according to the Constitution Act of 1982 British Monarch, Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom is recognized as Queen of Canada. Canada's people are varied. About 57% of all Canadians have some English ancestry. Australia is the only country in the world that is also a continent. It is the sixth large country and the smallest continent. The country's official name is Commonwealth of Australia. The Commonwealth of Australia is a federation of states. Australia has six states and two territories. Australia is a constitutional monarchy like Great Britain. The Britain monarch, Queen Elizabeth II is also queen of Australia and country's head of state. However, the queen has little power in the Australian government. New Zealand is situated on two main islands — the North Island and the South Island. Wellington is the capital of New Zealand. English is the official language of New Zealand and is spoken throughout the country. New Zealand is a constitutional monarchy, in which the sovereign exercises authority in accordance with a written or unwritten constitution.

Reading literacy Natural disasters. When something is natural, it comes from nature and it is not manmade. A disaster is something that usually causes major problems. It would be a disaster if a bridge suddenly fell because it was not built properly. Disasters are negative but can be manmade. However, when speaking about natural disasters you can combine the two terms and define them as catastrophes that occur in nature or by natural processes. They are not manmade. A natural disaster takes place in populated areas of the world when lives may be lost, the property is severely damaged, and the economy is negatively affected. Natural disasters may include an asteroid collision with Earth, avalanche, landslide, blizzard, thunderstorm, earthquake, flood, gamma-ray burst (from space), volcano, heat wave, hurricane, solar flare, drought, tornado, tsunami, hail, and wildfire. It is not a natural disaster if it occurs in an unpopulated area and there is no loss of life or property damage. For example, if a tsunami took place on an uninhabited island, it would not be a disaster. Disasters cause a loss. There are many things that can happen during a natural disaster. Sometimes, more than one disaster occurs at the same time. Landslides may occur during severe flooding and thunderstorms. Natural disasters occur throughout the world, and often people know when they are coming and can prepare for them and be safe. Other disasters may occur without warning. Most people die during a natural disaster when there is no time to prepare for it. Though natural disasters cause many problems, injuries, and sometimes death, they are not to be feared, but being aware of them and properly preparing for them is extremely important.The top 10 natural disasters most likely occurring throughout the world include blizzards, droughts, earthquakes, floods, heat waves, hurricanes, thunderstorms, tornados, tsunamis, and wildfires. Some of the listed disasters may occur simultaneously such as a hurricane and thunderstorm causing massive flooding, or possibly a tsunami, or a heat wave coupled with wildfires. In addition, there are natural disasters that can occur more often in one part of the world or country than in other regions. For example, a person living in the middle of the United States would not need to be concerned with a tsunami, but someone living along the coast would be affected. In the middle of the country, a tornado might occur, but often there are fewer of them along the coast. Which part of the United States would most likely experience a tsunami?

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 beginning of the sentence … its potential is powerful.

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. The point the writer is making is …

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. Honey takes place in ___
