    Текст
    АFor people who live in the northern hemisphere, the thought of celebrating Christmas with great heat and bright sun seems strange and exotic. But in Australia , where the holiday falls in summer, it’s completely normal. Though most of the traditions of celebrating Christmas in Australia are the same as in European countries, there is still a little variation. On Christmas Day, most Australians have the holiday midday dinner outside. The dinner is often followed by some backyard cricket or a swim in the pool.
    БIn Italy, children do not ask Santa Claus for presents. In their country an ugly, yet kind old witch named Befana performs Santa’s duties. The witch flies around the world on her broomstick and enters the houses down the chimney. She delivers toys, clothing and candy to well-behaved children and puts coal – or dark candy – in bad kids’ socks.
    ВAn ancient legend tells us about children from a poor family. Unfortunately, their parents could not afford any Christmas decorations and the kids were upset. However, on Christmas morning when the children woke up, they saw that spiders had spun webs of shiny silk around the tree’s branches. The sun turned each thread into silver and gold. Even nowadays in Europe people decorate their trees with spider webs to welcome good luck.
    ГDifferent celebrations take place over Christmas in Scotland. One of the most important traditions is called First-Footing. Once midnight strikes, all eyes await the arrival of the year’s first visitor. The person who crosses the home’s threshold first is said to bring good fortune for the year ahead. Top of the lucky list: a male, dark-haired visitor. Women or blonde men are believed to be unlucky.
    ДAccording to tradition, on Christmas Eve some Russian people don’t eat anything until the first star has appeared in the sky. In Russia, Christmas is celebrated on the 7 th of January, not on the 25 th of December like in most other countries. The different date of the holiday is because the Orthodox Church uses the old ‘Julian’ calendar for religious celebration days.
    ЕLike in most countries the locals of Venezuela , especially in their capital city, Caracas , go to church on Christmas Eve to celebrate the birth of Jesus. However, in Caracas , people of all ages don’t just walk to church, they usually roller skate to church. The streets of Caracas are closed to vehicles up to 8am on Christmas Day to make way for their citizens who use roller skates to travel to and from church.
    Вопрос
    1What is the most unusual way to get to church on Christmas night?
    2Who can bring Christmas presents instead of Santa?
    3Why is the first guest on Christmas Day so important?
    4What creature helped to decorate a Christmas tree?
    5What transport does Santa use in warm countries?
    6How do people celebrate Christmas in hot climate?
    7Why is Christmas celebrated on another date in this country?

    Текст
    АThe peak of the Moscow travel season is May through September. However, tourists may prefer to travel to Moscow during the low travel season. The snowy winter months offer just as many entertainment options as one can find during summer. Tourists can celebrate New Year’s Eve or see Russia’s biggest ice rink on Red Square, or visit one of the local winter markets. Any Moscow tour has plenty of memorable experiences the whole year round.
    БAs one of the largest cities in the world, Moscow comes with its share of traffic problems. It seems that all of the world’s most expensive black cars are here, and there are a lot of traffic jams. Still, while the traffic situation leaves much to be desired, the Moscow underground is superb. The advanced Metro system carries up to 9 million passengers a day on weekdays, and its trains run every few minutes. It is a convenient way of travelling around.
    ВWhen people travel to Moscow, they want to see the red-bricked walls of the Kremlin, take a picture in front of St. Basil’s Cathedral, and visit the world-famous Bolshoi Theatre. All of these places are located within a very small area around Red Square. So seeing them on a walking sightseeing tour of Moscow is convenient and allows visitors to avoid traffic jams. The concentration of Moscow main sights makes this city a world-class tourist destination.
    ГSet in the heart of Moscow the State Department Store known as GUM produces a great impression on visitors. It was built between 1890 and 1893 to replace the old trading rows of 1825. The building stretches along Red Square’s eastern side. The entire structure is a beautiful testament to Russian architecture with its mix of medieval and modern features. The glass roof allows natural light to flood into this three-story palace.
    ДThe Moscow Metro has been a much-needed mass transit project. But it is not just a series of trains and tunnels. The Moscow Metro is like a whole underground city that holds the world’s largest collection of Soviet Art. The first stations were opened on May 15, 1935. They were described as one of the greatest architectural projects of that time. The original 13 stations, along with many others that were built later, feature unique works of art.
    ЕThe most exciting part of any journey is the memories people create while discovering new places. And souvenirs are among the most popular options to save the happiest moments not only in one’s heart but in the form of something more material. Apart from classic T-shirts and fridge magnets with local attractions, many other things can bring to mind the best moments of Moscow trip. The gifts range from Matryoshka dolls to the Tretyakov Gallery photo album.
    Вопрос
    1What makes Moscow very popular among tourists?
    2What is the best season for tourists to visit Moscow?
    3What are good and bad things about the city transport?
    4What is special about the Moscow underground?
    5What theatres should be visited in Moscow?
    6What is Moscow’s most famous shopping mall?
    7What are the presents to be brought from Moscow?

    Текст
    АThe Isle of Wight is considered to be the largest island of England. The island measures about 380 square km, of which about half is an area of outstanding natural beauty. About 140,000 people live on the island and several million people visit it each year. This paradise is located in the English Channel which separates the continent and Great Britain.
    БThe accent of the Isle of Wight is similar to the traditional dialect of southern England. While speaking, the natives of the island drop some consonants and put an emphasis on longer vowels. The Isle of Wight has its own local and regional words. Some of their words (e.g. grockle – visitor, tourist and nipper – a younger male person) are used in the neighbouring areas of the mainland too.
    ВThere are many red squirrels which are the only squirrel native to the British Isles. However, there are few of them left on the mainland now. Red squirrels are being replaced by American grey squirrels. The grey squirrels carry the deadly parapox virus, which is fatal to the reds. The strait between the island and the mainland provides a barrier to grey squirrels. It is illegal to bring a grey squirrel onto the island, with a penalty of two-year’s imprisonment.
    ГThe Isle of Wight is not large, but it has lots of sights to see. One of the most well-known places is Alum Bay which is famous for the sand on its beach. The sand is of different colours – from red to purple, from brown to white. Tourists usually buy a glass paperweight with stripes of coloured sand, and take it back home as a souvenir.
    ДThe Isle of Wight has recently been declared the Dinosaur capital of the UK! Bones of more than 25 different species were found on the small island, including the largest British dinosaur. In 2009, five-year-old Daisy Morris discovered the remains of an undiscovered species on the beach, which has been named after her – the Vectidraco (Dragon of the Wight) Daisymorrisae.
    ЕThe correct spelling of the island’s name is Wight not White. Wight is an old English word to describe a creature or living being. The experts do not have a common opinion on why the island was called that. The only thing that can be said for sure is that the name has nothing to do with the colour.
    Вопрос
    1Why did a prehistoric reptile get a girl’s name?
    2Where is the Isle of Wight?
    3What is the origin of the island’s name?
    4What animal is prohibited on the Isle of Wight?
    5What is the emblem of the Isle of Wight?
    6What do tourists take from the Isle of Wight as a memory?
    7What is special about the language spoken on the island?

    Текст
    АThe company that makes the famous little plastic bricks known as LEGO started as a small shop in the town of Billund in Denmark. At first the shop sold wooden toys and other things. Soon the business became known as LEGO. It came from the Danish words ‘LEg GOdt’, meaning ‘play well’. Later , it was realized that the original meaning in Latin was ‘I put together’.
    БThe LEGO Group was founded in 1932 by Ole Kirk Cristiansen. The company has come a long way from a small carpenter’s workshop to a modern, global corporation, the world’s third-largest producer of toys. Lego has passed from father to son and is now owned by a grandchild of the founder. As a child, he often came up with the ideas for new models and Lego sets.
    ВThe brick, the main component of all Lego sets, appeared in its present form in 1958 and since then has remained compatible with previous editions. This little piece of plastic offers unlimited building possibilities. It lets children experiment and tries out their creative ideas. The LEGO company owes its success to the traditional Lego brick. The company has been awarded ‘Toy of the Century’ twice.
    ГIn 2014 Charlotte Benjamin , a seven-year-old girl from the UK, wrote a letter to the Lego Company in which she complained that, during a visit to the toy store, she noticed that ‘there are lots of Lego boy people and barely any Lego girls.’ She felt sad that, in Lego, girl figures mostly sat at home, went shopping and had no job. At the same time boy figures went on adventures, worked, saved people and ‘even swam with sharks’.
    ДThe LEGO Group produces thousands of sets with a variety of themes. In 1969 the company introduced Lego Duplo, designed for children who are 1 to 5 years old. Duplo bricks are twice the length, height and width of traditional Lego bricks. It makes them easier to handle and less likely to be swallowed by younger children. Duplo sets now include farm, zoo, town, castle and pirate sets.
    ЕLego Games are a great way of having fun together with family and friends. These sets excite imagination and improve creativity because the child needs to put a game together before he or she can play it. They also develop hand and eye coordination, teach children to follow directions with logic and find scientific and technological solutions. In a fun way, these games promote basic ideas of Maths, Geometry and Engineering.
    Вопрос
    1Which object made the company famous?
    2Why are some sets of LEGO twice as big?
    3Where does the name LEGO come from?
    4Why is LEGO considered to be an educational toy?
    5Who are the owners of LEGO?
    6Why do adults enjoy LEGO toys?
    7What can make some LEGO-toy customers unhappy?

    Текст
    АThere are only three city-states in the world. One of them is Singapore, a small country in South East Asia. It can be called a modern equivalent to the Italian medieval Venice. Both cities are built on islands and became wealthy by trade. Like medieval Venice, Singapore is an independent city-state and is governed by a small group of powerful politicians and businessmen.
    БModern Singapore is full of numerous statues of the king of animals. According to the legend, the founder of the city saw a lion on the island and decided that it was a sign of good luck. The Malay word for the country, Singapura , means Lion City. However, zoologists doubt that he could see a lion because lions have never lived on the island. More likely, he saw a tiger or another kind of big cat native to the area.
    ВFrom an extremely humid but sunny morning to a gloomy and rainy afternoon, and then to a cloudy, starless night sky; Singapore is predictable in its climate. A week of terrible heat follows a week of non-stop rainfall. In general, tourists think February is the best month to visit the country. The citizens of Singapore disagree. They think that any time is good – you just have to accept the hot and rainy weather.
    ГSingapore has three main communities. The largest group is the Chinese, then come the Malays and the smallest group is the Indians. English is the language of government, television and universities. Along with English, the official languages of the country are Mandarin, Malay and Tamil. The national anthem Majulah Singapura is actually sung in Malay.
    ДThe island is densely populated and the government has to think about the environment. Unlike in most countries, citizens of Singapore cannot just buy a car. To own a car, a citizen must enter his or her name in a lottery that is drawn twice a month. If the citizen wins the lottery, he or she is granted a Certificate which allows them to own a car for 10 years. Then it is necessary to pay a registration fee, which is 140% of the value of the car.
    ЕWhen you are in Singapore, you can’t buy chewing gum anywhere. It is illegal to import or sell gum in the country. The sale of gum was prohibited in 1992 after gum was used to shut down the SMRT, the country's public transportation system. The gum was stuck on the sensor doors and the system was paralyzed. The punishment for bringing gum into the country is a year in prison and a big fine.
    Вопрос
    1What should you take out of your luggage when you travel to Singapore?
    2Which city has much in common with Singapore?
    3What is the coldest month on the island?
    4How do the people of the island feel about their weather?
    5What animal gave its name to the city?
    6How many official languages has the country got?
    7How does the government limit the number of car owners?

    Текст
    АAntarctica has no government and no country owns this continent. It is the only region on earth which is not ruled by any nation. There are no local people in Antarctica. However, in the summer season, more than four thousand scientists from different countries come to study the mysterious region while one thousand stay there in the winter season. The scientific bases are the only ‘settlements’ with residents who stay for several months or a year.
    БAntarctica is a huge desert, despite the fact that it holds 70 percent of the world’s fresh water. Usually, no more than six centimeters of rain fall per year. Most of this falls in the eastern part of the continent. These figures are comparable to those of the Sahara desert. Some parts of Antarctica have had no rain or snow for the last 2 million years.
    ВYou will be surprised to know that Antarctica was found just 200 years ago. The ancient Greeks did not mark Antarctica on their maps. It was only in 1820 that travellers found this icy, white continent. Actually, it happened by accident. The captain of the Imperial Russian Navy, Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen, was the first person who saw Antarctica from his ship. It was on 27 th January 1820.
    ГAntarctica contains about 90 percent of the world’s ice. It also has 8 times more ice than the Arctic. If all of the Antarctic ice melted, the sea level around the world would rise about 70 meters. But the average temperature in Antarctica is -37°C and the ice is in no danger of melting so far. In fact, in most parts of the continent it never gets above freezing.
    ДSince Antarctica is not a country, it has neither a state emblem nor an official flag. However, in 2002, for the first time , a special flag was flown on Antarctica. It looks simple and elegant – a plain white map of the continent on a pale blue background. The simplicity of the colours represents the continent and its surroundings and also symbolizes Antarctica’s international neutrality.
    ЕFifty million years ago Antarctica had a mild climate, evergreen forests and many more kinds of animals than it has today. Due to continental drift, Antarctica moved from the equator to the South Pole, where it is today. Nowadays, Antarctica is the coldest continent on the planet and almost completely covered with a layer of ice. However, its wildlife is quite diverse: from emperor penguins and humpback whales to small bugs in the coastal areas.
    Вопрос
    1What people live on the continent?
    2What is done to protect Antarctica’s environment?
    3How was Antarctica discovered?
    4What would happen if Antarctica’s temperature rose?
    5How has the continent changed over the years?
    6What are the colours of Antarctica’s flag?
    7Why is Antarctica often called a dry land?

    АEvery summer Saint Petersburg turns into a sleepless city during the famous White Nights. The Scarlet Sails Festival is one of the most spectacular events of the time period. Inspired by a well-known story by Alexander Grin, this colourful show of fireworks, music, and water performances attracts a lot of tourists each year. The festival is always held at the end of June because it is organised in honour of school graduates.
    БThe Scarlet Sails Festival is inspired by the romantic book written by Alexander Grin a century ago. This beautiful fairy tale, published in 1923, takes place in a fictional land where a sailor named Longren made toys as he cared for his young daughter, Assol. One day the old man predicted that a prince would come for her on a ship with scarlet sails. She believed him. Much later, a ship captain learnt of the prediction and took the young dreamer away on such a ship.
    ВFor today’s young people, the festival signals that school days are over. The ship with its colourful scarlet sails serves as an image of a person’s journey towards their dreams and as such fits perfectly with those about to start a new chapter in their lives. So after the stress of study and exams, it is time to have fun, listen to music and let off some fireworks as the party spills out onto the streets of Russia’s former capital. Lots of tourists come to the city to see it all.
    ГIn 2019, the Scarlet Sails won the main prize in the Best Event World Awards in the Most Significant Event of the Year nomination. In 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the popular festival was held online. It was shown on many TV channels and on social networks. Despite its online format, the 2020 celebration went down in history as the most beautiful. The Scarlet Sails Festival was included in the register of world event tourism.
    ДOn the 27th of June, 1968, Leningrad schoolchildren saw a ship with scarlet sails on the Neva River for the first time, which later became the symbol of the festival. The tradition was interrupted in 1979. It was brought back to life only 25 years later. Since then, every year a special programme of the festival has been prepared with popular music bands performances and bright firework shows held over the water area of the Neva River.
    ЕThe today’s festival comes fairly close to the original festival. After a concert and theatrical performance held in Palace Square and on Vasilyevsky Island, the parade of boats along the Neva River waterfront takes place in front of the Winter Palace. Fireworks go off to classical music by famous Russian composers. Over the years, several brigs served as the dream ship with scarlet sails for the parade. Since 2019 it has been the brig “Russia”.
    Вопрос
    1What does the Scarlet Sails Festival symbolise?
    2When and where does the festival take place?
    3What is the story behind the festival?
    4When did the tradition of the Scarlet Sails start?
    5Who suggested the idea of this festival?
    6What does the modern festival programme include?
    7How was the festival received in the world?

    АThe Republic of South Africa is a country located at the southern tip of Africa and is washed by the Atlantic and the Indian oceans. It is sometimes called the Rainbow Nation because there are so many different cultural traditions. The Rainbow Nation includes 38 million black South Africans, 5 million whites, 3.5 million people of mixed race and 1.5 million people of Asian origin. The colours of the rainbow can now be seen on the flag of the state.
    БUnlike most other countries around the world, South Africa has not one but three capital cities. More precisely, the government branches are divided among the major South African cities: Pretoria, Cape Town, and Bloemfontein. When creating the state, it was decided that if the government was in one place, that place could have more influence and political control.
    ВThe majority of the population can speak and understand English, which is the language of business, politics and the media in South Africa. Most citizens know three or more languages. In total, there are eleven official languages in South Africa. So there are eleven official names for the country, one for each different language.
    ГToday South Africa maintains its position as a major diamond producer. The largest diamond, Cullinan, was found in 1905. The Government decided to present the diamond to King Edward VII for his birthday. However, it was a problem to find a safe way to deliver such an expensive diamond to London. It was decided to place a fake diamond on a steamboat to attract those who would be interested in stealing it. The actual diamond was sent to England in a plain box via parcel post, though registered.
    ДIt is a sad truth but the population of African rhinos is getting smaller. Though using rhino horns for medicine has been illegal since 1993, this hasn’t stopped people killing this rare animal simply for the horn. To prevent rhino extinction, their horns are covered with a special toxin that does not harm the animal. But it is designed in such a way that any product (powder, tea or cream) that is made from the poisoned horn will taste bitter or will cause burns. It can also be seen in airport scanners.
    ЕBaobabs, the largest trees in the world, grow in South Africa. The baobab is called ‘The Tree of Life’. It provides food, water and shelter to people, animals and birds. All the parts of the baobab are used for different purposes. For example, its fruit, called ‘monkey bread’, is full of vitamin C. Baobabs live up to five thousand years and reach a trunk diameter of twenty-five meters!

    АMurmansk is the largest city in the world located above the Arctic Circle. It is one of the unique spots on the planet. Despite being close to the Arctic Circle, Murmansk has a relatively mild climate. Murmansk’s average temperature in January is a comfortable -12.6°C, while July has the average temperature of 14.2°C. The reason for this is the Barents Sea with its warm North Atlantic Current, bringing tropical water into the northern region.
    БThe city of Murmansk has got its name due to the cold Barents Sea. Originally, the citizens of Norway were called “Murmans” in Russia. As time passed, the whole southern coast of the Barents Sea, located next to Norway, was known as “the Murman Coast.” And that is exactly the place where one should look for the city of Murmansk on a map. So, the name “Murmansk” simply means “the city that was built on Murman.”
    ВMurmansk is one of the most fascinating Russian cities. Although it seems beyond belief, it was founded just over a century ago. It all started with a small settlement of fishermen that appeared on the coast of the Barents Sea in 1915. However, officially the story of the city began only a year later, in 1916, when the foundation stone of the settlement’s first church was laid. Murmansk became the last city founded in the large Russian Empire.
    ГDuring WWII, the city was seriously damaged. The German army planned to take control of Murmansk in 2 days, but this plan of action was ruined. During the war, 185 000 bombs were dropped on Murmansk, but the city has never surrendered. In November of 1945, only one-fifth of the buildings were still standing. The city was reconstructed to its pre-war state in less than 10 years. And in the 1950s a new chapter of Murmansk’s history began.
    ДMurmansk serves as the main “northern gateway” of Russia. The city is the largest seaport, which is free of ice throughout the year, and it is the most important base of the fishing industry in Russia. Shipbuilding and repairing of large boats or ships are the main Murmansk industries. The city is also an important scientific and cultural hub of the region. Murmansk is getting more and more popular as the city of international tourism.
    ЕMurmansk is a great travel destination for anyone who likes adventures or thinks that Russia has no more surprises up its sleeve. It is among the best locations to hunt for the Northern Lights. The city suburbs will make you fall in love with northern nature. There are excursions to the giant ships, as well as cruises across the northern seas. Tourists can enjoy such amazing winter activities as dog and reindeer sledding, or explore the fairy-tale Snow Village.
    Вопрос
    1When did the history of Murmansk start?
    2Why was the city of Murmansk called so?
    3Were there any dramatic events in the city’s history?
    4What is modern Murmansk like?
    5What is the climate of the city area?
    6How can tourists travel to Murmansk?
    7What attractions of the area are worth seeing?

    АThe Fab Four , the famous Liverpool musical group commonly known as The Beatles , reached the peak of their popularity in the 19 60s. But the real story began much earlier when Paul McCartney heard the skiffle country music played by John Lennon’s group at St. Paul’s church in Liverpool. McCartney was a brilliant guitarist, so they let him join the group at once.
    БThe group changed its name several times, from Johnny and the Moondogs to Long John and the Silver Beatles and finally The Beatles . The short title is in itself a smart mixture of two words. The beat is a synonym for musical rhythm, while the beetles describe insects producing sounds using their shiny wings.
    ВLennon, Harrison, McCartney and Starr were the heart of The Beatles while the other members constantly changed. Many guitarists and drummers joined but finally left the group. The style changed too. When The Beatles left Britain to perform in Europe, they turned from folk to rock-n-roll to win over the public. They also played foreign music and composed their own songs.
    ГSoon the group issued their first single, My Bonnie , which became popular in Liverpool. A customer once asked for it in a music shop, but there were no copies left. When Epstein, the shop owner, finally got the disc, he was surprised to hear a good quality song by the group that played in the club next to his shop. The same month he signed the first contract with The Beatles as their musical agent.
    ДAlthough in 1963 the group issued more than three hundred thousand copies of their second album at home, they only broke the American market a year later. During their first tour to the USA the group was welcomed by thousands of fans at Kennedy airport in New York. For half a year The Beatles were touring the USA and were top of the charts.
    ЕDuring their USA tour The Beatles visited Elvis Presley. They talked a lot, played music and managed to record several priceless compositions. The reason why none of the songs have been issued is widely discussed today. No matter how hard musical agents tried to find the recordings, they failed. This is one of the secrets The Beatles left unrevealed.

    Текст
    АSomewhere in a far-away magical kingdom, there lived a beautiful princess, a prince and animals who could talk like humans. This is a typical plot for many fairy tales. In 1990, a short story for children about Shrek, a big green troll, appeared. Unlike previous heroes, he looked ugly and scary but had a big, kind heart. In 2001, DreamWorks studio made the first animated Shrek cartoon.
    БAll the characters of the cartoons about Shrek are easy to remember and have a good sense of humour. The cartoons are full of episodes about friendship, good and evil, love and family values. The cartoons present an amusing mixture of traditional fairy tales and real-life events familiar to everyone. All that made the story of the troll very popular, especially with children.
    ВMaurice Tillet was a famous professional French boxer and wrestler of the 20 th century. Unfortunately, at the age of twenty he got a rare disease which changed his body and appearance. It made him look like a huge troll. Few people know that Shrek’s appearance copies that of Maurice Tillet. However,in contrast to the cartoon character, Maurice Tillet was highly intelligent – he spoke fourteen languages and was good at writing prose.
    ГSeveral scenes in cartoons about Shrek are based on scenes from famous movies. For example, the ‘Welcome to Duloc’ song sounds like the popular Disney tune ‘It’s a Small World’. During the fight between Fiona and Robin Hood’s men, the camera moves as in ‘The Matrix’. There are hints of the ‘The Lord of the Rings’ and ‘Mission Impossible’.
    ДThe famous story was also made into a Broadway show, ‘Shrek the Musical’. Technically, the musical show is not the same as the film but it has its advantages. Children and adults enjoy seeing celebrities in the roles of Shrek and Princess Fiona. The success of the musical is also based on a nice combination of new and old popular songs.
    ЕThe stories about the green troll and his friends are for all ages. Teenagers and grown-ups may enjoy modern computer games about Shrek. Computer stories have attractive design and dynamic plots, so gamers and fans will not be bored. Though the images of Shrek and Fiona are a bit different from the film, they are easily recognizable.

    АThe Golden Ring of Russia is an unusual and interesting route, featuring the medieval cities of Russia with a great number of churches and monasteries. The cities of the Golden Ring escaped most of the industrial progress. Some local communities there still live in a traditional way of life of the countryside. The most valuable thing about the Golden Ring is that its cities keep the original buildings of old times, and many of them have remained almost the same as they were in the past.
    БThe Golden Ring tour is a perfect experience for those who have visited the two capitals many times and are looking for more relaxing and quiet experiences now. The Russian countryside is a place to go if a person wants a journey outside the noise of big cities. The Golden Ring will be a real pleasure for those who are into history, as they will learn a lot about it. This interesting journey is also a wonderful chance to try traditional Russian food.
    ВThe Golden Ring is a real attraction for tourists who want to feel the true Russian spirit. This famous touristic route consists of nine ancient Russian cities. The cities that are traditionally listed in the Golden Ring are Sergiev Posad, Pereslavl-Zalesskiy, Rostov the Great, Yaroslavl, Kostroma, Ivanovo, Suzdal, Vladimir, and Uglich. The Golden Ring consists of many well-known monasteries, medieval wooden houses, and a range of historical monuments.
    ГGenerally, from 2 to 5 days are needed to visit the Golden Ring’s most interesting locations. Day-trips from Moscow are available for those who have only a few free days to spend in the Golden Ring cities. In fact, it is not a problem to visit just a few cities in the series. One can travel by trains and buses, but the most convenient way is to travel by car or book an organised minivan tour that offers convenient transportation.
    ДThough it is easy to take day-trips from the capital to the Golden Ring cities, one should also consider spending in one of them a few days just to have more time to relax, enjoy nature, and the local atmosphere. There are not many 5-star hotels in these cities though, but it does not mean that it is difficult to find where to stay. There are stylish small hotels with cosy comfortable rooms, often decorated with wood and various handicrafts.
    ЕThe very peak of the high tourist season in Russia is from early May till late September. The weather is warm and sunny during the summer months, and the spring months offer rolling green fields and flowers. This is the perfect time for a tour of the Golden Ring cities, to see top attractions in no rush. There are more rainy days towards October and November, so it is wise to choose a date starting sometime between May and September.

    АFor intelligence, ravens rate up with chimpanzees and dolphins. These birds have the largest brain of any bird species. Ravens can push rocks on people to keep them from climbing to their nests and play dead to scare other ravens away from a delicious meal. If a raven knows another raven is watching, it hides the tasty bits. It pretends to put the food in one place but hides it in another.
    БIt’s amazing to watch ravens sliding on snow-covered roofs. For fun, they also roll down snowy hills. Ravens often play keep-away with other animals like wolves, foxes and dogs. They even make toys – a rare animal behavior – from sticks, pine cones, golf balls, or rocks to play with each other or by themselves. When they feel bored, they mock other creatures like crows, cats and dogs and find it very amusing.
    ВAccording to surveys, the ravens are one of the main reasons why tourists come to see the Tower of London . Nobody knows when the ravens first appeared there but there is a belief that at least six ravens must always remain on the territory of the Tower. Otherwise, the British Monarchy may fall. To prevent the birds from flying away their wings are clipped every three weeks.
    ГIn the past, in some cultures, people were truly afraid of these dark birds. In Germany , ravens were considered to be the incarnation of criminals’ souls. In Sweden , ravens were thought to be the souls of murdered people. And in Denmark , people believed that it was dangerous to look at ravens because you could turn into a raven yourself.
    ДSometimes people find injured ravens and take them home, but it’s really challenging. These birds require a lot of care, a lot of freedom and a lot of time. Ravens are wild creatures, and they cannot be treated like cats and dogs are. If the bird is strong and healthy, it is unfair and cruel to keep it in captivity. In some countries it’s even illegal. So if you really love and admire these birds, enjoy them from a distance.
    ЕThese birds are often confused with each other because they are both black birds. Even people who are well aware of the differences between them can get confused. Ravens are larger than crows, with thicker beaks and longer tails. Ravens have a deeper voice than crows.
    Вопрос
    1Why were ravens considered to be scary and dangerous birds?
    2Why is keeping a raven as a pet really difficult?
    3How do ravens entertain themselves?
    4What is a raven’s essential diet?
    5How can you distinguish a raven from a crow?
    6Why are ravens important for Great Britain?
    7What tricks do ravens play to get and save their food?

    Текст
    АAs people say, tastes differ! The diversity of weather conditions, traditions and practical needs leads to a great variety of home designs. In Mongolia, people still live in round tents called yurts . In the snowy Arctic, the Inuit have traditionally built igloos from blocks of ice. In some tropical regions, houses are built on stilts above the water. Modern architects promote futuristic designs, such as underwater hotels, and also create eco-friendly treehouses.
    БThousands of years ago, amazing temples, pyramids, and amphitheatres were built in Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, and Rome. The people who designed them were skilled and smart. They were often priests or high officials. Architecture as a respected profession officially appeared in the Middle Ages and Renaissance, when great masters like Brunelleschi and Michelangelo began to design buildings that combined beauty and function.
    ВIn comparison to other living beings on the planet, people are obviously the most disadvantaged. Humans have neither warm fur nor sharp claws and they are not able to fly or even run fast enough to escape danger. To survive, people need a warm place to hide in – a home. At the dawn of civilization, caves protected early humans from wild animals, cold, and rain. Later, people began to build huts from branches, grass, bones, and animal skins.
    ГThe homes of our grandchildren will probably look very different from today’s. With climate change and new technologies, people may build floating cities, underground houses, or even homes in space. The designs may be various, but all houses will likely be smart , where artificial intelligence will save energy and improve comfort. Hopefully, they will also be eco-friendly, using solar panels, wind energy, and sustainable materials.
    ДBesides safety and access to water, people have to consider many other factors when building a home. Climate and weather conditions are very important. In cold areas, wood and stone houses have always been much in use. In hot, dry regions, people traditionally build houses from clay, mud bricks, or even sand. Today’s technology widens the choice, and architects often design houses from concrete, steel, and glass.
    ЕAs societies developed, people started to settle in one place. They usually built their homes on fertile land near rivers and lakes because they needed water for drinking and farming. Safety was also very important – the settlers wanted to protect themselves from dangerous animals and aggressive tribes. The location of a home was a matter of survival. That is why many towns and villages were built on hills or surrounded by walls.
    Вопрос
    1What did prehistoric people’s homes look like?
    2What places did ancient people choose for their homes?
    3When did the profession of an architect appear?
    4What materials do people choose to build their houses?
    5What are the most exotic houses in the world?
    6What are the most ambitious architectural projects of our time?
    7In what houses will people be living in 100 years?

    АThe world’s first university was established in India in 700 BC, where more than 10,500 students from around the world studied more than 60 different subjects. The training was conducted in Sanskrit. Nowadays, Sanskrit is considered to be the mother of all the European languages. Its elements can be traced in most of them.
    БThe most frequently visited place in India is Delhi, the capital city of the country. It seems to be divided into two parts. New Delhi is a modern city with hi-tech architecture, tourist attractions and modern facilities. Old Delhi is several centuries old, with narrow streets, ancient churches and noisy bazaars. Lots of people live in slums without the most essential facilities like toilets and running water.
    ВPeople all over the world know of India’s greatest river, the Ganges. The river looks extremely beautiful in the morning light. It is the subject of thousands of prayers. It has become a common ritual for pilgrims to gather by the holy river in the mornings. It is believed that bathing in the Ganges helps to cure all kinds of diseases and can improve your life in general.
    ГIndian climate differs from one part of the country to another. The air is cool and fresh in the mountains, but in the plains it is usually very hot and dry, so even a short trip can be very hard for an inexperienced traveller. That is why tourists are always glad to have a rest at one of the numerous stations in the hills. There they can enjoy a nice cup of real Indian tea, the most refreshing drink in such a climate.
    ДIndia is not all history. It is also famous for its Bollywood industry, which produces different films. Indian films have always had their own style; they are rich in music and dancing. Though the industry is still developing, many Indian film stars have received Oscar prizes and are known throughout the world. The home of Bollywood is Mumbai, also known as a busy port and the country’s commercial centre.
    ЕThere is an unusual treasure hidden in the Indian mountains. These are striking ancient temples cut in the rocks. For example, the Buddhist cave temples at Ajanta were built at least 2,000 years ago. Inside the caves on the walls, tourists can see animal images and pictures of people’s lives. Some researchers believe that the interpretation of the images can help us to learn a lot about people’s lives in ancient times.
    Вопрос
    1What can the Indian ancient drawings tell us about?
    2Why do people come to the holy waters?
    3Where are Indian movies made?

    5How can travellers escape the heat?

    АOne of the informal names of Ireland is ‘the Emerald Isle’. This is because of its lush greenery and rolling hills. The island country receives a lot of rain each year, which keeps the grass green and the plants blooming. Experts argue that the flora of Ireland demonstrates more than forty shades of green.
    БThe most famous symbol of Ireland is undoubtedly the shamrock clover. However, the official emblem of the country is the Celtic harp. Ireland is the only country in the world to have a musical instrument as its national symbol. The harp has become Ireland’s national symbol not because it was created there, but due to the collection of the oldest harps in the world which can now be seen in the museum at Trinity College in Dublin.
    ВThere is a tricolour of green, white and orange vertical stripes on the national flag of the Republic of Ireland. The flag was designed to reflect the country’s political situation. Created in 1848, the orange stripe represents Irish Protestants. Green is for Irish Catholics and white is for the hope that peace might eventually be reached between them.
    ГMost people of the Republic of Ireland speak English. Itis the second official language of the country because, according to the Constitution, Irish (Gaelic) is the national language of the Republic of Ireland. Irish was the primary language that was used on the island. Though children are still taught Irish at school, the language is losing its importance.
    ДThe White House, the official residence of the US President, was designed by an Irishman. James Hoban was born in Ireland and studied architecture in his homeland. In 1792, James Hoban won a competition for the construction of the President's house in America. He spent nine years supervising the building process. He also designed a few other important buildings in the American capital. No wonder that the name of James Hoban is famous across the ocean.
    ЕThe widely used word boycott originated in Ireland . In 1880, a campaign of isolation against Charles Boycott, a land agent, was started. He threw out the farmers from his land when they complained that the rents were too high. After that, the local shops refused to serve him, his servants left and the boy who delivered his mail disappeared too. The surname of the land agent became a word which means ‘silently ignoring somebody or something’. The word was adopted in English, French, Dutch, German, Russian etc.
    Вопрос
    1How many official languages are there in the Republic of Ireland?
    2Which colour dominates on the island?
