Task 1. Прочитайте и переведите текст на русский язык: A Frenchman who was in England wanted to go back to France by sea. But he had very little money. He had so little money that he could pay only for the ticket. As he knew that the trip would last only two days, he decided not to eat during these days. As he took a ticket and got on the ship the next morning, he tried not to hear the bell for breakfast. When the dinner time came, he was very hungry, but he didn't go to the dining-room. In the evening he was still more hungry, but when the waiter came to invite him to have supper, the Frenchman said that he was ill. The next day the Frenchman was half-dead from hunger. “I shall go and eat even if they kick me out into the sea,” said he to himself. So he went to the ship dining-room and had his dinner. In the evening he had supper but was very much afraid of his future because he didn't pay for the meals. At last he addressed the waiter and said: “Bring me the bill, please.” – “What bill?” asked the waiter. “For the supper and dinner I had in your dining-room”. – “Don't worry, Sir. You paid for your meals when you bought the ticket.” Task 2. Составьте 3 вопроса к данному тексту: Task 3. Выберите из предложенных вариантов название к данному тексту.

Прочитай текст. Before there were automobiles Long ago most people had to walk wherever they wanted to go on land. Later, when large animals began to be domesticated, some people rode camels, horses, donkeys, oxen, and even elephants. Then came the discovery of wheels. The people of Mesopotamia (now in Iraq) built wheeled carts nearly 5,000 years ago. But so far the earliest cart that has actually been found is one made later than those in Mesopotamia, by people in ancient Rome. It was simply a flat board. At first, people themselves pulled carts. Later, they trained animals to do this. As people used more and more carts, they had to make roads on which the carts could travel easily. In Europe and North America carts developed into great covered wagons and then into stagecoaches. Pulled by four or six fast horses, stagecoaches first bounced and rolled along the roads in the mid-1600s. They became important public transportation during the 19th century. It wasn’t until the steam engine was invented that a better means of transportation developed—and that was the train. Steam locomotives used steam pressure from boiling water to turn their wheels. The first passenger train service began in England in 1825. Soon trains were rushing hundreds of thousands people wherever iron tracks had been laid. The first automobiles were not built until the late 1890s. Some of the earliest were made in the United States and England, though they were slow and broke down a lot. They looked much like carts with fancy wheels. What most of us recognise as a car wouldn’t come along for several more years.

Переведите английский 1. Пластиковые пакеты удобны в хозяйстве, но если смотреть со стороны экологии, то они очень загрязняют нашу землю. На мой взгляд, использование пластиковых пакетов должно быть полностью запрещено. 2. Во-первых, они наносят вред окружающей среде. Во-вторых, от них страдают животные, птицы и морские млекопитающие. Плавающие пакеты регулярно вводят в заблуждение морских черепах, которые думают, что это их любимая добыча — медузы. Тысячи животных умирают каждый год после проглатывания пакетов от удушья. 3. Кроме того пластиковые пакеты не подлежат биологическому разложению. Они вылетают из мусоровозов, а затем загрязняют окружающую среду. В лучшем случае, пластиковые пакеты попадают на свалки. И всё равно пластиковые пакеты продолжат загрязнять земельные и водные ресурсы. 4. Я считаю, что те, Кто думают, что запрет на пластиковые пакеты не нужен-неправы. Потому что они не понимаю всю опасность для окружающего мира и обитателей в ней. Либо не желают понимать. 5. В конце концов, я думаю что закон о запрете пластиковых пакетов будет эффективным решением экологических проблем, а также началом борьбы с загрязнением.
