It represents the start of the Hindu New Year and honors the victory of good over evil, and brightness over darkness. It also marks the start of winter. Diwali is actually celebrated in honor of Lord Rama and his wife Sita. One of the best places to experience Diwali is in the «pink city» of Jaipur, in Rajasthan. Each year there’s a competition for the best decorated and most brilliantly lit up market that attracts visitors from all over India.

B. The Blossom Kite Festival, previously named the Smithsonian Kite Festival, is an annual event that is traditionally a part of the festivities at the National Cherry Blossom Festival on the National Mall in Washington, DC. Kite enthusiasts show off their stunt skills and compete for awards in over 36 categories including aerodynamics and beauty. The Kite Festival is one of the most popular annual events in Washington, DC and features kite fliers from across the U.S. and the world.

C. The annual Ostrich Festival has been recognized as one of the «Top 10 Unique Festivals in the United States» with its lanky ostriches, multiple entertainment bands and many special gift and food vendors. It is truly a unique festival, and suitable for the entire family. The Festival usually holds Ostrich Races, an Exotic Zoo, Pig Races, a Sea Lion Show, a Hot Rod Show, Amateur Boxing and a Thrill Circus.

D. Iceland’s Viking Festival takes place in mid-June every year and lasts 6 days, no matter what the weather in Iceland may be. It’s one of the most popular annual events in Iceland where you can see Viking-style costumes, musical instruments, jewelry and crafts at the Viking Village. Visitors at the Viking Festival see sword fighting by professional Vikings and demonstrations of marksmanship with bows and muscle power. They can listen to Viking songs and lectures at the festival, or grab a bite at the Viking Restaurant nearby.

E. Dragon Boat Festival is one of the major holidays in Chinese culture. This summer festival was originally a time to ward off bad spirits, but now it is a celebration of the life of Qu Yuan, who was a Chinese poet of ancient period. Dragon boat festival has been an important holiday for centuries for Chinese culture, but in recent years dragon boat racing has become an international sport.

F. The Mangalica Festival is held in early February at Vajdahunyad Castle in Budapest. It offers the opportunity to experience Hungarian food, music, and other aspects of Hungarian culture. The festival is named for a furry pig indigenous to the region of Hungary and the Balkans. A mangalica is a breed of pig recognizable by its curly hair and known for its fatty flesh. Sausage, cheese and other dishes made with pork can be sampled at the festival.

G. Hanami is an important Japanese custom and is held all over Japan in spring. Hanami literally means «viewing flowers», but now it is a cherry blossom viewing. The origin of hanami dates back to more than one thousand years ago when aristocrats enjoyed looking at beautiful cherry blossoms and wrote poems. Nowadays, people in Japan have fun viewing cherry blossoms, drinking and eating. People bring home-cooked meals, do BBQ, or buy take-out food for hanami.

Llandudno

Llandudno is truly a fine and handsome place, built on a generously proportioned bay and lined along its broad front with a huddle of prim but gracious nineteenth- century hotels that reminded me in the fading light of a lineup of Victorian nannies. Llandudno was purpose-built as a resort in the mid-1800s, and it cultivates a nice old-fashioned air. I don’t suppose that Lewis Carroll, who famously strolled this front with little Alice Liddell in the 1860s, would notice a great deal of change today. To my consternation, the town was packed with weekending pensioners. Buses from all over were parked along the side streets, every hotel I called at was full, and in every dining room I could see crowds — veritable oceans — of nodding white heads spooning soup and conversing happily. Goodness knows what had brought them to the Welsh seaside at this bleak time of year. Farther on along the front there stood a clutch of guesthouses, large and virtually indistinguishable, and a few of them had vacancy signs in their windows. I had eight or ten to choose from, which always puts me in a mild fret because I have an unerring instinct for choosing badly. My wife can survey a row of guesthouses and instantly identify the one run by a white-haired widow with a fondness for children, and sparkling bathroom facilities, whereas I can generally count on choosing the one run by a guy with a grasping manner, and the sort of cough that makes you wonder where he puts the phlegm. Such, I felt, would be the case tonight. All the guesthouses had boards out front listing their many amenities -COLOUR TV, HOSPITALITY TRAYS, FULL CENTRAL HEATING, and the coyly euphemistic EN SUITE ALL ROOMS, meaning private bathrooms. One place offered satellite TV and a trouser press, and another boasted CURRENT FIRE CERTIFICATE — something I had never thought to look for in a B&B. All this heightened my sense of unease and doom. How could I possibly choose intelligently among such a variety of options? I selected a place that looked reasonable enough from the outside — its board promised a color TV and coffee making facilities, about all I require these days for a Saturday night — but from the moment I set foot in the door I knew it was a bad choice. I was about to turn and flee when the owner emerged from a back room and stopped my retreat with an unenthusiastic “Yes?” A short conversation revealed that a single room with breakfast was for £19.50. It was entirely out of the question that I would stay the night in such a dismal place at such an exorbitant price, so I said, “That sounds fine,” and signed in. Well, it’s so hard to say no. My room was everything I expected it to be — cold and cheerless with laminated furniture, grubbily matted carpet, and those mysterious ceiling stains that bring to mind a neglected corpse in the room above. There was a tray of coffee things but the cups were disgusting, and the spoon was stuck to the tray. The bathroom, faintly illuminated by a distant light activated by a length of string, had curling floor tiles and years of accumulated dirt packed into every corner. I peered at the yellowy tile around the bath and sink and realized what the landlord did with his phlegm. A bath was out of the question, so I threw some cold water on my face, dried it with a towel that had the texture of shredded wheat, and gladly took my leave.

Задание 32

Imagine that you are preparing a project with your friend. You have found some interesting material for the presentation and you want to read this text to your friend. You have 1.5 minutes to read the text silently, then be ready to read it out aloud. You will not have more than 1.5 minutes to read it.

Cobras in snake-charming acts are responding to the sight of the flute, not its sound. Snakes don’t really hear music though they are certainly not deaf. They have no external ears or eardrums, but can sense vibrations transmitted up from the ground into their jaw and the belly muscles. They also seem to be able to detect airborne sounds via an inner ear. It used to be thought that snakes could not hear at all because they don’t respond to loud noises but research at Princeton has shown that they have acute hearing. The key discovery was how the snake’s inner ear functions. It appears that their hearing is tuned to the frequency range of noises and vibrations made by the movement of larger animals, so music would be meaningless to them. Charmed cobras stand upright if threatened and sway in response to the movement of the instrument. If they strike at the flute, they hurt themselves, so they don’t do it again.

Задание 30

Dear Lisa, Thanks for your letter. I’m sorry for not writing you for so long. I was helping my brother with his school tasks. It’s great that the administration of your school ask students about their preferences. In Russia many schools have uniforms, but not all of them. In my school we never had it. Every student has an opportunity to wear what he wants and self-affirm himself by his style. I would like to invent something middle official and more comfortable. It could be same for boys and girls, because I believe that it’s not very comfortable to wear squirts all the time. Anyway, you’ve mentioned an exchange school program. What programs does your school have? Is it difficult to be a part of it? What special abilities should a student have to study abroad? I’ve got to go as my brother wants me to help him with his homework. Write back soon, Best wishes, Mike

Пример сочинения:

Nowadays it has become fashionable for some people to watch soap operas. However, there are other people, who believe that this is a waste of time. Personally I do not enjoy watching soap operas. Firstly, it takes too much time. Nearly all soap operas last endless number of seasons. It may take ages to watch them all. Secondly, you can become really addicted to soap operas. It is like a drug: you want to watch more and more and cannot stop. Thirdly, I think that if you have a free time and want to relax, it would be much better to watch documentary or feature film. However, there are other people, who find soap operas enjoyable. They claim that characters often face problems that we can find in real life. This makes soap operas realistic and useful in our everyday life. I cannot agree with this opinion, because these people fail to understand that soap operas could replace real life. People, who are addicted to soap operas, often sit in front of the TV or computer rather than go out with friends. Sometimes they even forget about work or school. Taking everything into account, I want to say that watching soap operas could become rather dangerous hobby. To my way of thinking, people should not waste time on this even if they want to relax.

Задание 34

Пояснение.

I’ve chosen photo number 2. This was one of the most exciting moments. We had just come to the airport. This was only beginning of our trip. We decided to spend 2 months in the popular resort. In the photo my friends are going to the plane. Mike forgot to take the camera but it wasn’t a big deal because we had our own. We had been waiting eternity for this trip! By the way, taking photographs is my hobby. I couldn’t miss an opportunity to make the photo of my friends before the trip. I showed it to my friend because it means a lot to me. Looking at the photo makes me go back in time. I suddenly remember every little detail of that beautiful day. We still gather together and have a great time. This trip meant a lot to us.

Задание 35

Пояснение.

In the photo number one, we can see two policemen. They are standing on a street and talking with each other. In the second picture there is a pretty big group of soldiers. They are equipped and standing in the row. Both of the pictures show us people in uniform. All of them are equipped with guns. The difference between policemen and soldiers is obvious and doesn’t have to be explained. Soldiers a usualy serving somewhere far from the city. Meanwhile the policemen are staying in the cityes to mantain the order. As for me, I’ve never thought about going to the army neither becoming a policeman. If I would have to choose I’d rather be a policeman, because I’m a pacifist, which means I’m against the war. I can’t even imagine how hard (in emotional way) is to shoot to other people, even if they are enemies. Being policeman is more attractive for me, because they have to maintain order, which is not a bad thing. If I was a policeman I would help people, they would rely on me and trust me.

eating. People bring home-cooked meals, do BBQ, or buy take-out food for
hanami.

Harry had come to Canada from Poland at the
age of eight. The family was sent to a Jewish farming village in Manitoba. His
father had been a merchant in the old country, but he was allowed into Canada
on condition that he took up agriculture. In the village, they lived in a small
wooden house.

When he was sixteen Harry moved to Winnipeg
to work for his cousin Albert in the fur business. He was paid fifteen dollars
a week for sixty or seventy hours of work. This arrangement continued for
two years, and then Harry asked for a raise or a reduction in working time. His
cousin said no; that was when Harry began his own family fur business. After
his parents sold their farm and moved into the city, he operated out of their
North Winnipeg basement.

I was introduced to Harry through a friend
of mine, a local city planner. Harry now owned properties in the exchange
district, so named because it was where the grain and fur exchanges started. My
friend had been encouraging Harry to renovate these buildings. The city was
trying to save its architectural past. Much remained that would have been torn
down in other Canadian cities.

The three of us walked to a restaurant
called Bottles. Looking at the menu, Harry said he didn’t want anything rich.
He had had problems with his stomach since he was eighteen. “Poor eating,” he
explained. There had not been enough money for decent food.

“I don’t know what’s happened to Winnipeg,”
Harry said. “Thirty years ago Portage Avenue was full of life. Now in the
evening the whole downtown is dead.”

Harry had bought his first raw pelts in
1952. There had been a thousand people employed in the fur trade when he began.
Now he thought there might be a hundred. The fur manufactures in Montreal and
Toronto, many of them Greek immigrants, had taken over the business. “We used
to work like dogs. One of my parents’ neighbours reported us – we weren’t
supposed to work out of a house – so we had to rent space downtown. People
said we’d be broke very soon. But slowly we expanded.”

Harry was among the inter-war immigrants
who had given Winnipeg’s north end its special character. Then North Winnipeg
had been a seat of political ferment and of Jewish immigrant culture. Its
history had acquired a patina because so many talented people had escaped its
poverty and gone into business or the arts professions. But Harry was one of
the last. Many of the old Jewish families had moved across the river into
more expensive neighbourhoods. There was a new underclass made up of Filipinos,
Vietnamese, and Canadian Indians.

1. Harry’s father was permitted to come to
Canada if he

A) didn’t work in
agriculture.

B) became a
farmer.

C) remained a merchant.

D) returned to
Poland after some years.

2. Harry stopped working for his cousin
Albert because

A) he returned to
his father’s farm.

B) he went to
Poland to start his own business.

C) his cousin
refused to pay him more money.

D) his cousin
wanted to increase working hours.

3. A local city planner wanted Harry to

A) tear down the
old buildings.

B) own the
buildings.

C) exchange the
buildings for fur.

D) restore the
buildings.

4. Harry had some problems with his
stomach because in his childhood he

A) had eaten too
much.

B) had not been
able to eat proper food.

C) used to starve.

D) had liked rich
food.

5. One of Harry’s parents’ neighbours told
the police about them because they

A) used to work
like dogs.

B) rented a place
downtown.

C) ran their
business at home.

D) had expanded
their business.

6. “People said we’d be broke very soon”
means that people expected them to

A) go bankrupt
soon.

B) destroy their
house.

C) have a
breakthrough in business.

D) break their
back due to hard work.

7. “Last” in “Harry was one of the last”
refers to

A) the political
figures who gave Manitoba its special character.

B) those who had
moved into more expensive neighbourhood.

C) successful
immigrants who still lived in North Winnipeg.

D) those who had
chosen the profession of the arts.

A.	The Mona Lisa, also known as La Giaconda, became world famous after it was stolen from the Louvre in 1911. The painting was missing for two years before police traced the theft to Italian painter, Vincenzo Peruggia, who stole the work to return it to its country of origin. The Louvre Museum in Paris built a separate room to house the Mona Lisa, giving up to five million visitors a year the chance to see the painting.
B.	The tradition of telling stories with a series of sequential images has been a part of Japanese culture long before Superman comic strips. The earliest examples of pre-manga artwork that influenced the development of modern Japanese comics are commonly attributed to Toba Sojo, an 11th-century painter-priest with an odd sense of humor. Toba’s animal paintings satirized life in the Buddhist priesthood by drawing priests as rabbits or monkeys engaged in silly activities.
C.	When the story in which Holmes died was published in a popular magazine in 1893, the British reading public was outraged. More than 20,000 people canceled their subscriptions. The demand for Holmes stories was so great that Conan Doyle brought the great detective back to life by explaining that no one had actually seen Holmes go down the Reichenbach Falls. The public, glad to have new tales, bought the explanation.
D.	Caviar refers to the salted eggs of the fish species, sturgeon. At the beginning of the 19th century, the United States was one of the greatest producers of caviar in the world. Because of overfishing, commercial sturgeon harvesting was banned. Today, mostly through farm-raised varieties, caviar production has returned in America. Some American caviar is very high in quality and has been compared favorably to wild Caspian caviar.

T.S. Eliot wrote in his poem, «The Waste Land,» that April was the «cruelest month.» He was living in England at the time, and the weather there can be dreadfully rainy and cold during spring. But from a cook’s point of view, April is anything but cruel. The month brings us some of the freshest, most wonderful foods. Consider the first ripe strawberries, asparagus, artichokes, tiny peas, and so much more.

When the eruption of Vesuvius started on the morning of 24 August, 79 AD, it caught the local population completely unprepared. The catastrophic magnitude of the eruption was connected with the long period of inactivity that preceded it. The longer the intervals between one eruption and another, the greater the explosion will be. Luckily, the frequent but low-level activity of Vesuvius in recent centuries has relieved the build-up of pressure in the magma chamber.

Iron Age Britain can only be understood from the archaeological evidence. There are few spectacular ruins from Iron Age Britain. Unlike in Classical Greece or Ancient Egypt, in Iron Age Britain there was no construction of major cities, palaces, temples or pyramids. Rather, it was an essentially rural world of farms and villages, which had no economic or religious need to build palaces, cities, major tombs or ceremonial sites.

A.	The present Ashmolean Museum was created in 1908 by combining two ancient Oxford institutions: the University Art Collection and the original Ashmolean Museum. The older partner in this merger, the University Art Collection, was based for many years in what is now the Upper Reading Room in the Bodleian Library.
B.	The collection began modestly in the 1620s with a handful of portraits and curiosities displayed in a small room on the upper floor. In the 17th century there were added notable collections of coins and medals later incorporated into the Ashmolean coin collection. The objects of curiosity included Guy Fawkes’ lantern and a sword given by the Pope to Henry VIII, and a number of more exotic items.
C.	In the 1660s and ’70s, the collection grew rapidly and, in 1683, the Bodleian Gallery was left to develop as a museum of art. At first, it was a gallery of portraits of distinguished contemporaries, but from the mid 1660s, it began to acquire a more historical perspective with the addition of images of people from the past: college founders, scientists, soldiers, monarchs, writers and artists.

In the eighteenth century, several painters donated self-portraits. They also added a number of landscapes, historical paintings and scenes from contemporary life. Other donors, former members of the University, added collections of Old Masters so that by the early nineteenth century, it had become an art gallery of general interest and an essential point of call on the tourist map. The public was admitted on payment of a small charge. Catalogues were available at the entrance and the paintings were well displayed in a large gallery.

It was only with the gift of a collection of ancient Greek and Roman statuary from the Countess of Pomfret in 1755 that the need for a new art gallery became urgent. The marble figures were too heavy to be placed in an upstairs gallery and were installed in a dark ground-floor room in the library pending the creation of a new museum.

Before the new museum was finished, a major group of drawings by Raphael and Michelangelo was purchased by public subscription for the new galleries, establishing the importance of the Oxford museum as a centre for the study of Old Master drawings. The new museum also attracted gifts of paintings. In 1851, a collection of early Italian paintings, which included Uccello’s “Hunt in the Forest”, one of the museum’s major works of art was presented.

In the 1850s, the University established a new Natural History Museum, which is now known as the Oxford University Museum of Natural History. And all the natural history specimens from the Ashmolean were transferred to the new institution. Having lost what had become the most important element in its collection, the Ashmolean was to find a major new role in the emerging field of archaeology.

Number of teenagers with Saturday job drops

The number of teenagers with Saturday jobs has dropped. Young people do not acquire any experience for their CVs – a crucial step towards getting full-time work. The proportion of teenagers combining part-time jobs with school or college has slumped from 40% in the 1990s to around 20% now, according to the UK Commission for Employment and Skills (UKCES), a government agency. Latest figures show that only A__________ in 1997.

«Recruiters place significant emphasis on experience … C__________,» the report says. Word of mouth is the most common way to get a job, D__________ young people are unable to build up informal contacts, it adds.

Ms. Todd, a commissioner at the UKCES, said: «There’s more emphasis on doing well at school, young people are finding less time to do what they would have done a few years ago. «I think it’s also the changing structure of the labour market. Retail is still a big employer, E__________. As a consequence, we need to think about how we get young people the work experience they need.»

A new initiative to send employees into state schools to talk about their careers was also launched recently.

Morse Code

A.	Born in 1743, Thomas Jefferson helped shape the new American nation and also shaped some of the country’s most famous buildings. The twentieth century architects who designed the circular Jefferson Memorial in Washington D.C. drew inspiration from Thomas Jefferson’s architectural ideas. And from where did Jefferson get his ideas? The Pantheon in Rome! This building with its classical portico became a model that influenced Western architecture for 2,000 years.
B.	Postmodern architecture evolved from the modernist movement, yet contradicts many of the modernist ideas. Combining new ideas with traditional forms, postmodernist buildings may startle, surprise, and even amuse. Familiar shapes and details are used in unexpected ways. Philip Johnson’s AT&T Headquarters is often cited as an example of postmodernism. Like many buildings in the international style, this skyscraper has a classical facade.
C.	The Industrial Revolution in Europe brought about a new trend: the use of metals instead of wood and stone in construction. Built in 1889, the Eiffel Tower is perhaps the most famous example of this new use for metal. For 40 years, the Eiffel Tower measured the tallest in the world. The metal lattice-work, formed with very pure structural iron, makes the tower both extremely light and able to withstand tremendous wind forces.
D.	By the early 1800s, Belfast had become a major port at the beating heart of the region’s industry. The launching of the Titanic from the shipways was attended by an estimated 100,000 people, showing how important this event was for Belfast. Many more impressive ships would leave the yard in the coming years before the decline of the shipbuilding industry began in the 1950s, but the Titanic marked the zenith of the great shipbuilding era in Belfast.

Thomas Andrews was the chief naval architect at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast during the early 1900s. He brought the idea of ‘Olympic class’ ocean liners to life. The most famous of these was Titanic, which he joined on its first voyage. His actions when the ship sank on 15 April 1912 are believed to have saved many lives, but at the cost of his own. In his home town of Comber, the life of Thomas Andrews is commemorated by the Memorial Hall, opened in 1915.

An e-book or “electronic book” is available digitally downloaded, and accessed through a device such as a computer, a smart phone or, popularly, a portable e-book reader. In 1971, Michael Hart began storing vast contents of libraries in electronic formats. Hart named his efforts Project Gutenberg, after the inventor of the printing press. Libraries were early adopters of the technology. But it took nearly thirty years for the idea of the e-book to take firm hold with the consumer.

The Frankfurt Book Fair is held in October of each year. It usually hosts more than 7,300 exhibitors from 100 countries ranging from Albania to Zimbabwe.
