9 Match the title with the text. There is one extra title in the task. 1. The recording process 2. The name of the book comes to me 3. Trying to set things clear 4. Working for money 5. Writing a book 6. The history of success 7. The doubts about the project 8. Too expensive for me A. The history of this book is now quite complicated. So every time I try to tell it I don’t tell it right. And when finally I tell it right, I’m misunderstood. So the publication of this edition seemed like a good opportunity to clear up some facts about this book. B. It started when I was traveling in Austria as a hitch hiker. I didn’t buy a book ‘Europe on Five Dollars a Day’, because I didn’t have as much money as that for travelling. So I’ve borrowed from someone a very old copy of the ‘Hitch Hiker’s Guide to Europe’ which suited me well. C. After I spent a day in Innsbruck, I went out into the countryside and lay down in the field. The stars came out and I thought, it might be good if someone would write a ‘Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy’ as well. That’s how the idea of this book was born. D. Then I was addressed by someone from BBC with an idea of making the radio series on science fiction. And that’s when the idea of this book popped up again in my mind. I think that the BBC’s officials hesitated a lot about this project but they had little choice for it has been started already. E. When the script was ready, we started the recording. Sometimes we were working with the sound engineers for weeks to produce a single sound effect. Everyone complained that we are stealing their studio time and this was absolutely true. The budget of the series has grown up twice by that time. F. In the meantime I was also writing for other radio series and editing the scripts for TV series. Of course it is very nice to be the author of some radio program and tell your friends that you are on the radio, but on the other hand that doesn’t bring you a lot of money at once. G. The first episode went out on BBC Radio 4 on March 8, 1978. But it seemed to pass unnoticed for there was no publicity, no discussion in magazines and newspapers. So all we were doing seemed to be pointless. But then the book “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” was published in England in September 1979 and appeared on the Sunday Times best-seller list at number one and just stayed there. That’s how it has got to be popular.
Проверьте перевод текста. Вот русский вариант, ниже английский: Сегодня многие люди думают, что в будущем дети будут учиться только на компьютерах и что школ больше не будет. Однако я не согласна с этим. Я думаю что компьютеры никогда не смогут заменить учителя в школе. Учителя поддерживают и помогают нам. Компьютер же не может показывать каких-либо эмоций, ведь это только программа. К тому же у людей, которые проводят много времени за компьютером ухудшается зрение. Люди перестают общаться, выходить на улицу. Компьютер заменил всех и все, и они разучились ходить гулять читать обычные книги. Я думаю, что детям нужно общение а не электронный гаджет перед глазами. Школа это не только место, где проходят уроки, это еще и место где дети могут общаться и заниматься спортом. Я не могу спорить с тем, что сегодня для каждого из нас компьютер почти незаменимая вещь. Ведь он может хранить в себе много информации. В интернете можно найти практически все что вам нужно, начиная от любимой книги и заканчивая последними новостями. Не выходя из дома можно работать и делать покупки. Компьютер может помочь ребенку в обучении, но не может заменить учителя. В итоге я могу сказать что наличие компьютера бесспорно облегчает нашу жизнь, однако гаджет не может предложить нам такое вдохновение и поддержку, которые дают учителя. Today, many people think that in the future children will learn only on computers and that schools will be no more. However, I do not agree with this. I think that computers can never replace teachers in school. Teachers support and help us. Computer can not show any emotion, because it is just a program. Besides, people who spend a lot of time on the computer deteriorating eyesight. People stop to chat, go outside. The computer replaced everyone and everything, and they have forgotten how to walk, to read a normal book. I think that children need communication and not an electronic gadget before your eyes. The school is not only a place where the lessons, it is also a place where children can socialise and play sports. I can’t argue with the fact that today the computer is almost indispensable. Because it can store a lot of information. On the Internet you can find almost everything you need. From home to work and to shop. The computer can help the child in learning, but cannot replace teachers. In the end, I can say that the presence of the computer undoubtedly facilitates our life, but the gadget can offer us the inspiration and support you give teachers.
