Gardening.

What does an Englishman do if he has no garden? English people like gardening. They talk about it in their offices, factories, and at home. In the evening they work in their gardens, large and small, and do it in any weather. They grow flowers, vegetables and fruit there.

If an Englishman has no garden he grows something in a window box outside his kitchen.

If you want to please an Englishman, be very polite about his garden. Perhaps, he will show you his garden and tell you about it. So you will listen to it and say, «How nice! » or «How interesting! »

Inside Buckingham Palace.

THE PALACE.

There are two addresses in London that the whole world knows. One is 10 Downing Street, where the Prime Minister lives. The other is Buckingham Palace. This famous place, first built in 1703, is in the very center of London.

It is two places, not one. It is a family house, where children play and grow up. It is also the place where presidents, kings, and politicians go to meet the Queen.

Buckingham Palace is like a small town with a police station, two post offices, a hospital, a bar, two sport clubs, a disco, a cinema, and a swimming pool. There are 600 rooms and three miles of red carpet. Two men work full-time to look after the 300 clocks. About 700 people work in the Palace.

THE QUEEN”S DAY

When the Queen gets up in the morning, seven people look after her. One starts her bath, one prepares her clothes, and one feed the Royal dogs. She has eight or nine dogs, and they sleep in their own bedroom near the Queen’s bedroom .Two people bring her breakfast. She has coffee from Harrods, toast, and eggs. Every day for fifteen minutes, a piper plays Scottish music outside her room and the Queen reads The Times.

Every Tuesday evening, she meets the Prime Minister. They talk about world news and have a drink, perhaps a gin and tonic or a whisky.

AN INVITATION TO THE PALACE

When the Queen invites a lot of people for dinner, it takes three days to prepare the table and three days to the washing up. Everybody has five glasses: one for red wine, one for white wine, one for water, one for port, and one for liqueur. During the first and second courses, the Queen speaks to the person on her left and then she speaks to the person on her right for the rest of the meal. When the Queen finishes her food, everybody finishes, and it is time for the next course!

ANSWER THE QUESTIONS.

  1. Buckingham Palace is two places, not one. How?
  2. Why it is like a small town?
  3. Are there a lot of clocks?
  4. How many dogs does the Queen have?
  5. What newspaper does she read?
  6. What sort of music does the piper play?
  7. Why do people have five glasses on the table?
  8. Who does the Queen speak to during a meal?
  9. What happens when the Queen finishes her food?

Charles Dickens (1812-1870)

Charles Dickens is one  of the greatest novelists in the English language. He wrote about the real world of Victorian England and many of his characters were not rich, middle-class ladies and gentlemen, but poor and hungry people.

 

Dickens the child

His family lived in London. His father was a clerk in an office. It was a good job, but he always spent more money than he earned and he was often in debt. There were eight children in the family, so life was hard.

Charles went to school and his teachers thought he was very clever. But suddenly, when he was eleven, his father went to prison for his debts and the family went too.Only Charles didn’t go to prison. He went to work in a factory, where he washed bottles. He worked ten hours a day and earned six shillings (30 pence) a week. Every night, after work, he worked four miles back to his room. Charles hated it and never forgot the experience . He used it in many novels, especially David Copperfield and Oliver Twist.

Dickens the writer

When he was sixteen, he started work for a newspaper. He visited law courts and the House of Parliament. Soon he was one of the Morning Chronicle’s best journalists. He also wrote short stories for magazines. These were funny descriptions of the people that he met. Dickens characters were full of colour and life – good people were very good and bad people were horrible. His books became popular in many countries and he spent a lot of time abroad, in America, Italy, and Switzerland.

Dickens the man

Dickens had ten children, but he didn’t have a happy family life. He was successful in his work but not at home, and his wife left him. He never stopped writing and traveling, and he died very suddenly in 1870.

Answer the questions.

  1. How old was Dickens when he died?
  2. How many brothers and sisters did he have?
  3. Was he good at school?
  4. Why did he leave school when he was eleven?
  5. Who was in prison?
  6. What did Charles do in his first job?
  7. What was his next job?
  8. Was he happy at home?
  9. When did he stop writing?

Music.

It is difficiat to live without music. We hear music everywhere: in the street,  at home, over there radio and on TV, in concert halls, in parks. Music reflects people’s mood and emotions. We can’t live without music. We like to listen to music, we enjoy dancing, to music and we play musical instruments. Some people are really interested in music. They can play musical instruments they know a lot about its history. They study it at music schools and conservatories. Music can be classical music. But sometimes it is difficult to listen it without good musical education. Without it such music is not so case to interpret. The tickets to music halls and concerts of classical music are expensive. It’s not available to everybody. Pop music becomes cutely extremely fashionable among young people. Madonna, Michael Jackson and “Spice girls” and. “Backstreet Boys” give an example of what teenagers prefer to listen to. It even determines there style and fashion. Teenagers to imitate there their favorite musicians in appearance, dress and lifestyles.

        But we know that deistical music and contemporary music can go side by side. The example of it is career of Vanessa Mae. Following her owe instincts about music and the viding she has proved that the viding is versant is her music have crossed all cultural, geographical and generational barriers.                                         In the 20th century everybody could choose the music that he would enjoy. It can be blues, jazz, rock, rap, rock’n’roll, hard rock, heavy metal, techno music. As for me I can listen         to almost king of music. My taste range from classical music to ………….. I believe that music should be ever        getic. That’s why I’m fond of    ………….. thera are many that I’m fond of. I think that band I like most of all is the …………. The members of the ……….. are …………. My fave song by the ………. is …………. It’s very lyrical and inspiring.

 

Secrets of fashion

Body decorations such as rings, necklaces (ожерелье) , bracelets, brooches (брошь), and others are called jewellery (драгоценности). Girls and women like to wear different accessories and make up. There many fashion secrets which help women to look great. If you want to learn these secrets there is possibility for you to read beautiful fashion magazines and to see prestigious collections of leading international fashion designers. Everybody in the world knows the names of famous designers Oliver Lapidius, Versace, Gucci. Their clothes are really fantastic. But not many girls and women can afford to buy them. Anyway there always the way to look great. One should have taste and remember that the choice of wearing this or that thing often depends of the situation. If you go to the theatre or to a party you can use make-up and wear expensive jewelry . For example gold charm bracelet, an elegant pearl necklace diamond (алмаз, бриллиант) earrings or a fashionable hair clip. Use a lipstick, mascara, shadows, powder blush. But don’t forget that accessories and cosmetics aren’t enough to look beautiful. Take care of your hair, of your body and skin every day.

Clothes are immediate, they tell us about people. Famous people usually set the trance. Clothes can be light drugs many teenagers easily become addicted (пристраститься).

Everyone in my class is really fashionable. They spend a lot of time talking about clothes that they are going to spend their money on. Many friends of mine think I’m untrendy. But frankly speaking fashion is not very important for me. Fashion comes and goes . To my mind looking clean and tidy is more important than looking stylish. I prefer clothes which are traditional in design that I feel comfortable in. My favourite clothes are…………  I think that following fashion doesn’t mean having good taste. If I had a lot of money I would buy clothes which are classical in design because they never go out of fashion. But I would  rather buy  video cassettes and some interesting books.

Mother Teresa.

Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu was born in Skopje, in Yugoslavia, in 1910. Her family were all Albania, but she said, «The people of the world are my people,» She first went to Ireland as a young nun when she was eighteen and learned English. After that she went to India, first to Bengal and then to Calcutta. She called herself «Teresa» after Saint Therese. She lived in a convent and taught young Indian girls. One day in 1946 on a train to Darjeeling, a voice inside her said, «You must leave )tour convent and help the poorest people in India.» She bought a cheap sari (an India rode) from a market. Her Archbishop blessed it and then she started her work in Calcutta. Soon many others joined her. They called themselves the Missionaries of Charity. Like Mother Teresa, they wore Indian saris. All her life she has been helping everyone who is ill, dirty, poor, or dying. She loved them all. In 1979 she won the Nobel Peace Prize. She says, «To feel no one wants you; to feel no one loves You… that’s the worst sickness in life.»

The Main Street of Moscow

Tverskaya Street is the main street of the Russian capital. It is one of the longest and the busiest streets of the city. There are many hotels, shops and supermarkets in it. Tverskaya Street is famous for its fine tall houses, beautiful monuments, wide squares, cinemas and theatres which are in or nearby.

Hundreds of years ago from Red Square there was a road to Tver. Tver is an old Russian city to the North of Moscow. Tverskaya Street is where this road used to be and that fact explains its name. Tverskaya is a wide street and in some places the street is sixty metres wide.

At the beginning of Tverskaya Street you can see the hotel «Natsional». If we walk up the street on the same side we’ll see the building of the Central Telegraph and on the opposite side the monument to Yuri Dolgoruky, the founder of Moscow. The monument is situated in a beautiful little square with some trees in it. Let’s walk up Tverskaya Street. Soon we’ll reach Pushkin Square.

In Pushkin Square we can see the famous monument to Alexander Pushkin, the greatest Russian poet. Pushkin was born in Moscow and spent the first years of his life in this city. When he became very famous and lived in St. Petersburg he often visited Moscow. Pushkin loved his native city and wrote about it in his poems. Pushkin Square is very beautiful. There is a fountain in it near the monument. The monument itself appeared in Moscow in 1880. It is the work of the famous Opekushin and one of the finest monuments in Moscow.

On the opposite side further up Tverskaya Street there is an old red building. It used to be the English Club but now it is the Museum of the Revolution.

You can see the monument to Vladimir Mayakovsky in Triumfalnaya Square. Moscow Concert Hall is situated in it.

The end is near Belorussian railway station. You can see the monument to Maxim Gorky in the square in front of the railway station.

It’s seven o’clock. It’s time to get up. Mrs. Green says to her three little children: “Get up! Get up!

Do you know the time?” “Yes, we do,” say the children. “So what’s the time?” “It’s eight o’clock.” Mrs. Green says, “It’s time to go to school, isn’t it?” “Oh, yes, it’s time to go to school,” say the little boys.

MEALS IN ENGLAND

The English have four meals a day: breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner or supper. In England breakfast time is between seven and nine, lunch time is between twelve and two, tea is between four and five and dinner or supper time is between seven and ten. We know that some of you don’t like porridge. But English people like porridge very much. They usually eat it for breakfast. They like to eat porridge with milk. English people don’t eat much bread. They never eat bread with meat or vegetables. But they sometimes eat bread with soup.  English people like tea, too. They drink a lot of tea. They have tea for breakfast. They have tea for lunch, dinner and supper. Some English families have two or three cups of tea at tea-time. English people drink tea from cups, not from glasses. English people like to have tea with milk, not with lemon. They call  tea with lemon “Russian tea” and tea with milk “English tea”.

CHRISTMAS

Every year there is a very big Christmas tree in the centre of London, in Trafalgar Square. This is a present from the people of Norway to the people of Great Britain. They send it to Londoners every year and Londoners decorate the Christmas tree. In the evening before Christmas people like to come to Trafalgar Square to look at the tree. On Christmas Eve the streets in London are decorated, too. The shops are very busy at Christmas. People want to buy presents for their family and friends (for their nearest and dearest). And they buy a lot of food and drink for all the Christmas parties. People open their presents on Christmas morning and they all are happy with what they get. For Christmas lunch people eat turkey, potatoes and green vegetables. Then they have the Christmas pudding. At five o’clock it’s time for tea and Christmas cake. On Christmas people wish their nearest and dearest a merry Christmas. The day after Christmas is Boxing Day. People usually visit their relatives and friends. They do not work on that day.

NEW YEAR

Not all English people celebrate New Year. Those who do celebrate it on the 31st of  December. A lot of people go to Trafalgar Square to see the Christmas tree. They have a New Year party at home. On that day they wish their dearest and nearest a “Happy New Year”. When Big Ben strikes twelve they drink a toast [toust] to the New Year. In America people celebrate New Year, too. They visit their relatives and friends or have parties at home. English and American people often make New Year’s resolutions — they are promises for the New Year. Children make New Year’s resolutions, too. This is what Phil, an English boy, wrote: “I often make resolutions but I don’t always keep them. This year I am going: to help Mum about the house; to be nice to my little sister;  to do exercises every morning; not to be late for school; to go to the swimming pool every day. My Mum isn’t going to eat chocolates, bread or spaghetti. Dad is going to play tennis every day. My Mum and Dad usually keep their resolutions but I don’t.”

  1. Pumpkin is a large round fruit with a thick orange skin and large seeds. Pumpkins are 90% water but they contain potassium and vitamin A. Six of seven continents can grow pumpkins. Nowadays pumpkins have come to symbolize not only the lovely color of the autumn but the spirit of the season as well. A sizable number of movies were made with pumpkin and Halloween themes. Most memorable, perhaps, is the pumpkin carriage in Cinderella. In the United States, pumpkins go hand in hand with the autumn holidays of Thanksgiving, and, of course, Halloween. At almost every Thanksgiving table is the customary ‘Pumpkin Pie’. Pumpkins are carved into decorated lanterns for Halloween. Pumpkin is one of the important symbols of the harvest festival and has been an American-favourite for over 400 years now. A lot of autumn festivals are dedicated by the pumpkin.
  2. In the USA, pumpkin is a very popular Thanksgiving dish. It is not sure whether pumpkin was one of the dishes in the first thanksgiving dinner. But they were, however, a part of all traditional meals long before the arrival of the first Europeans. Most parts of the pumpkin are suitable for eating, including the shell, the seeds, the leaves, and even the flowers. When ripe, the pumpkin can be boiled, baked, steamed, or roasted. The pumpkin has been very important for centuries. It has been popular with wizards, witches and fairies. Maybe that’s why it is celebrated in so many festivals, folklore and fiction. People make jack o’lanterns at Halloween in the USA. In European and American fairy-tales witches often turn people into pumpkins. Even in modern The Harry Potter novels pumpkin juice is the favourite drink of the students of Hogwart’s school.
  3. The USA is often called a melting pot – a total mix of races and nationalities. In fact, the same could be said of Britain, except this process took far longer. The British today are the result of wave after wave of conquest, migration and mixing. Now there are many people of all colours and races in the UK. They are mostly former inhabitants of the former British colonies. There are special newspapers, magazines, radio and TV programmes for them. Visitors to Britain are often surprised by the titles of the magazines on newsagents’ shelves. Some of them are extremely specialized and lots of them are on new technology. The British are also great newspaper readers.  An almost universal British custom, going for a walk, is another surprising fact. Recently people have been moving into suburbs, smaller towns and the country. Even so Britain remains one of the most urbanised countries in the world, with nine in ten of the population living in towns or cities.

  1. The early history of Canada is a story of fish and fur. But after the World War II, Canada began to develop its own industries, such as producing cars and airoplanes. Today, Canada is the largest producer of nickel. It supplies the world with iron and copper as well as wood, paper, oil, gold and silver. Canada now has moved swiftly with research and development in fibre optics and communications. Canada has a reputation for being a mosaic of world cultures. About 40% of Canadians are of British origin. French descendants of the French adventurers live in Quebec. The French language they speak is unique. Words, grammar and even pronunciation still have connections with seventeenth-century French. Canada’s third-largest ethnic group is German. Then come Italians, Ukrainians, Dutch, Greeks and Polish. Toronto, the centre for international immigration, is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world. With so much winter and snow, it is not surprising that Canadians are good at winter sports. Ice hockey (simply called hockey) is a national pastime and it is so popular that it is more of a religion than a sport. This is especially true in Quebec, home of the Monreal Canadiens, one of the most successful professional sports teams anywhere. Other popular spectator sports include curling and football.
  2. Since ancient times people all over the world have tried to understand such physical phenomena like rain, snow and wind. The Greek scientist and philosopher Aristotle wrote a book named Meteorologica, which was about the basic elements of the environment: the earth, the winds, the seas and rivers, and of course, the weather. He is considered to be the founder of a science, which studies the atmosphere, and the title of his book has become the name of the science. Meteorology supposes a lot of observations, researches and analyses. Without them it is impossible to say what the weather will be like tomorrow. In 1654 one scientist started an ambitious research project. Its aim was to record weather patterns in different Italian and European cities. The received information was studied and analyzed by the scientist. Those results were very important for meteorology. So that project gave an opportunity for Fahrenheit to create the modern thermometer.
  3. Two people never see the same rainbow. Each person sees a different one. It happens because the raindrops are constantly moving so the rainbow is always changing, too. Each time you see a rainbow it is unique and it will never be the same! In addition, everyone sees colours differently according to the light and how their eyes interpret it. A rainbow is an optical phenomenon that is seen in the atmosphere. It appears in the sky when the sun’s light is reflected by the raindrops. A rainbow always appears during or immediately after showers when the sun is shining and the air contains raindrops. As a result, a spectrum of colours is seen in the sky. It takes the shape of a multicoloured arc. Many cultures see the rainbow as a road, a connection between earth and heaven (the place where God lives). Legends say that it goes below the earth at the horizon and then comes back up again. In this way it makes a permanent link between what is above and below, between life and death. In some myths the rainbow is compared to a staircase connecting earth to heaven.

Italian forks

Text 3

Степень сложности — 3

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 inEngland 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 STORY OF MY TROUBLES

Text 4

Уровень сложности — 4

From my childhood I was an easily taught and obedient boy. My kindness was so noticeable that my friends made fun of me. I was especially fond of animals and had a great number of pets. With these I spent most of my time, and never was so happy as when feeding and playing with them. My character did not change much when I grew up.

I married early, and was happy to find in my wife a character very much like my own. Seeing my love for pets she never lost a chance of getting the most pleasant animals. We had birds, gold-fish, a fine dog, rabbits, a small monkey, and a cat.

This cat was a remarkably large and beautiful animal, quite black and surprisingly clever. In speaking of his cleverness, my wife, who was a superstitious woman, often mentioned the old popular belief, which considered all black cats to be in disguise.

Pluto- this was the cat’s name-was my favourite pet and playmate. I alone fed him, and he followed me everywhere about the house. It was even with difficulty that I could prevent him following me through the streets.

Our friendship lasted for several years, during which my character (I blush to confess it) had changed for the worse. I became day by day more moody and irritable. It often happened that I hurt the feelings of others; I suffered myself as I was rude to my wife. At last I even hit her.

My pets, of course, could feel the change in my character. In fact, I began to treat them cruelly. As for Pluto, I held back from cruelty as I did treat cruelly the rabbits, the monkey, or even the dog when they came in my way. But my illness took hold of me- for what other illness is like alcohol!- and at last even Pluto ,who was now becoming old, even Pluto began to feel the effects of my temper.

1. Answer the questions:

  1. What kind of pets do they have?

  2. What was the cat’s name?

  3. What illness had the author?

  4. Was he a kind man?

  5. How long did their friendship last?

2. Ask questions.

  1. Yes/No

  2. Who

  3. Where

  4. or

  5. “tag” question

3. Translate:

  1. I married early, and was happy to find in my wife a character very much like my own.

  2. Our friendship lasted for several years, during which my character (I blush to confess it) had changed for the worse.

  3. In speaking of his cleverness, my wife, who was a superstitious woman, often mentioned the old popular belief, which considered all black cats to be in disguise.

4. Name antonyms:

Happy, beautiful, kind, black, begin.

5. Write about any trouble in your life. (5-7 sentences)

LANGUAGES OF THE WORLD

Text 5

Уровеньсложности — 5

1. Nobody knows what the first language was. But scientists feel sure that nobody speaks it today because all languages change and keep on changing as long as people use them. One language may change in different ways in different places and grow into several languages.

2. If we could meet the people who spoke English five hundred years ago, we probably couldn′t understand much what they said.

3. English itself is a mixture of several languages. Scientists believe that these languages and many others all grew out of the same language which they call Indo-European. Nobody speaks it now. But some of its descendants are Latin, German, English, French, Greek, Russian and many of the different languages spoken in India.

4. Britain and America were once described as nations divided by a common language. Just what is difference between the English spoken in Britain and America?

5. The first English settlers to reach America arrived in Virginia in 1607 and in Massachusetts in 1620. They all spoke English of the early seventeenth century – the language of Shakespeare and Milton. Most of them came originally from the south and south-east of England. Although some of them had spent some years of exile in Holland they spoke with the accents of the southern part of their home country. To a large extent they kept that form of speech, but they soon learned to give old words new uses. They also took words from the local Indian languages for plants and animals that were new to them.

6. Until the Declaration of Independence in 1776 over two-thirds of the settlers in what later became the U.S. came from England. After that date many other people came to make a new life for themselves in the New World. These included Irish, French, Germans, Dutch, Italians, Slavs, and Scandinavians. All these people gave new words to the language of North America. The Negroes who had been taken from Africa as slaves to work on the rice and cotton plantations added words and structures from their own native languages. Some people today think that the very American expression O.K. comes from a similar expression which was brought to America by the Negroes.

7. All these people contributed in various ways to the language which was to become American English. Most civilizations and cultures – in their writings, traditions, folk stories – have traces of the old language.

1. Find antonyms:

different, last, leave, nobody, north, small, new, give, dependence, few, exclude, therefore.

2. Match Russian and English equivalents.

Чтение 5 класс диагностика английский язык 2019

13 ноября в московских школах проводилась диагностическая работа с целью определения уровня подготовки учащихся 5-х классов по английскому языку. Потренируйтесь в выполнении задания по чтению, воспользовавшись онлайн тестом. 

Определите, какие из приведённых утверждений соответствуют содержанию текста (True), какие не соответствуют (False) и о чём в тексте не сказано, то есть на основании текста нельзя дать ни положительного, ни отрицательного ответа (Not stated).

Zaryadye Park is a park located in the centre of Moscow close to Red Square. It was opened in September 2017. The name of the park comes from one of the oldest Moscow districts, Zaryadye, the history of which goes back to the beginning of the XII century.
An international team of architects, engineers and designers created this modern public place. Here we can see nature and technology, history and modernity so close together.
There are many things to see. Ice Cave with minus temperature has the atmosphere of the Far North. So close to the Kremlin the authors have created the building that takes the visitors on a journey through ice and snow.
