Speaker A. I’m a very forgetful person. That’s why I have a daily planner. I put everything there. Birthday dates, homework, medical appointments. If I take it down in my daily planner I’ll never forget about it. The point is, if I don’t I’ll never remember about it. My friends tease me all the time about this, but I probably do take my diary out of my bag more often than my mobile so I never get offended cause it is so true about me.

Speaker B. My mum sais, I live in a total mess. My desk is chaos with sheets of paper everywhere, with different reminders like: "Bye milk" "urgent" or "phone Lissie" or whatever. Strange if it may seem, I feel comfortable around all this stuff and can easily find whatever I need. As soon as I have done something I through the piece of paper away and that’s it. It’s pretty handy actually. If you don’t through pieces of paper away though, it will get you into trouble.

Speaker C. I’d tried many things, really. There’re piles of undo diaries and daily planners in my room, I simply forget to take them with me. But I have found a perfect solution. There is a thing that I will never ever forget to take with me as I leave home. This is my cell phone. I bought one with bill and daily planner, it works like magic. I can’t imagine my life without it now. It even gets beeps every time I have to do something, which works magic. At least for me.

Speaker D. I must say, I don’t do anything special to remember what I’ve planned to do. I have a pretty good memory which has never failed me. I just try to make an effort, I memorize it all each time I need to. This is probably do to my genes as my parents and my sister have an excellent memory as well. So, it kind of runs in our family. I really shouldn’t be boasting about it, because it isn’t my achievement or success. I was just born with it.

Speaker E. Each morning I make a long list to do. In the morning my memory is fresh and I can clearly remember all my plans for today. I put it all on the piece of paper and as soon as I have done something I immediately tick it or cross it. It gives me a strong sense of satisfaction which I enjoy, but this method so to say isn’t perfect as it doesn’t help with people’s birthdays or other special dates. So I’m thinking of how to improve my method.

Speaker F. I know what I do is very childish, but I can’t help it really. I put some pen marks on my hand or a palm, so I see them and remember about it. My parents regard it as strange and untidy but I find it so convenient. The only problem is when you wash your hands, your inscription can vanish and you may never remember what was there. My parents say they’ll give me a permanent marker, but I think that’s too much. They are joking about it anyway.

Пояснение . A  — 2. I'm a very forgetful person... I have a daily planner.....
B  — 4. I live in a total mess... I need sheets of paper everywhere... I feel comfortable and can find everything I need...

Presenter: This is Close to Nature. Hello and welcome! In our studio today is Robin Black, a Professor of Biology at the University of Iowa and the founder of the Center for Native Peoples and the Environment, who has recently published a book Trees Can Talk. Good morning, Robin!
Robin: Good morning!
Presenter: So, the obvious question is  — can trees really talk? Can they have actual conversations like people?
Robin: That mindset  — comparing trees to people  — is exactly the problem. In our Native American stories trees talk to each other. But science has long decided that this is impossible because plants lack the mechanism that animals and humans use to speak. Since they cannot form words or make sounds, it has been decided that any form of communication is out of the question.
Presenter: Which is not true?
Robin: Not in the least. But it is only recently that scientists have explored the possibility that trees can "speak". One theory is that they communicate via special substances called pheromones that are carried by the wind from one tree to another, full of meaning.
Presenter: This is getting complicated. Could you provide an example?
Robin: Sure. Let’s say one tree is being attacked by insects and is under severe stress. The tree sends out a distress call.
Presenter: No kidding! Like a tree-⁠version of an SOS?
Robin: Something like that. So, it starts producing this specific kind of pheromone that warns the other trees of the insect threat. This gives the other trees enough time to produce defensive chemicals. Wouldn’t you call that communication?
Presenter: That’s incredible! But is it only in an emergency that they talk like this?
Robin: Far from that. Actually, trees talking could explain something that scientists couldn’t understand for years. Do you know what mast fruiting is?
Presenter: Mast  — as in m-⁠a-⁠s-⁠t? Mast fruiting? No, never heard of it!
Robin: Well, unlike fruit trees, which produce fruit every season on a predictable schedule, there are some plants, like nut-⁠trees, that produce fruit at completely unpredictable intervals.
Presenter: Oh! This I have heard and actually experienced! I grew up on a farm, where we had lots of pecan trees. But we could never tell if they would bear nuts the approaching year. And I loved them so much! My father used to tell me that it all depended on how I behaved throughout the year. I still think that was mean. But it worked  — I tried as hard as I could helping him around the farm!
Robin: Honestly, that’s as good a theory as any! Like I said, scientists have puzzled over this for years! It makes no sense  — years of no nuts, and then, out of the blue, every pecan tree across the country bears nuts at the same time. One theory has always been that because nuts are so high in calories, it takes years of storing up sugar for the tree to produce them. But if this were true, each tree would produce nuts on its own schedule, predictable by its condition, age, as well as the habitat and the weather. However, this doesn’t happen. If one tree fruits, they all do. There are no individuals. They act as a collective.
Presenter: How do they do that?
Robin: Again, through a sort of communication, only this time not through the air, but underground.
Presenter: Underground communication? That sounds like a conspiracy theory.
Robin: Not when you hear the explanation. All the trees in the forest are connected by their roots. These root networks redistribute the wealth of sugar from one tree to the other. A kind of Robin Hood  — they take from the rich and give to the poor. So that all the trees are ready to produce nuts at the same time.
Presenter: But why would they do it?
Robin: Through unity they survive. All flourishing is mutual... (fades out).

Presenter: With us in the Studio today we have James Smith, a psychologist from the University of North Carolina. Good afternoon, James.
James Smith: Good afternoon. I am really glad to be taking part in this programme  — it is a great honour for me.
Presenter: Thank you. The topic we have for today is familiar to everybody  — this is our dreams. We all have dreams and are dreaming of our dreams coming true if I can put it that way! James knows exactly how to do it. Is that so, James?
James Smith: I think it is. One of the amazing things we have been given as humans is the desire to have dreams and the ability to establish goals to live out those dreams. What makes it even more powerful is our ability not only to dream and pursue those dreams but the cognitive ability to actually lay out a plan and strategies to achieve those dreams. The question is how to do it.
Presenter: Can you define what are our dreams and goals?
James Smith: This is not what you already have or what you have done, but what you want. Have you ever taken time to think over your life values and decide what you really want? Have you ever truly reflected and listened quietly to your heart to see what dreams live within you? Your dreams are there. Everybody has them. They may live right on the surface or be hidden deeply if you are often told sarcastically they are not serious but they are still there.
Presenter: So how do we know what our dreams are?
James Smith: This is an interesting process and it relates primarily to the art of listening. This is not listening to others; it is listening to you. If we listen to others, we hear their plans and dreams and many of them will try to put their dreams and plans on us. If we listen to others, we can never be fulfilled. We will only chase elusive dreams. So we must listen to our own hearts.
Presenter: That seems easy and difficult at the same time. Do you know any practical steps on hearing from our hearts on what our dreams are?
James Smith: Firstly, take time to be quiet. This is something that we do not do enough in this busy world of ours. Schedule some dream time  — no other people, no cell phone or computer. Just you, a pad and a pencil and your thoughts! Think about what thrills you, what you would love to do either for fun or for a living. When you answer these questions, you will find yourself in the "dream zone". Only when we get to this point, we will experience what our dreams are.
Presenter: What should we do next?
James Smith: Secondly, write down all of your dreams as you have them. Do not think of any as too outlandish or foolish  — remember, you are dreaming! Let the thoughts fly and take careful record. Then, prioritize those dreams. Which are most important? Which are most feasible? Which would you love to do the most? Put them in the order in which you will actually try to attain them. Remember, we are always moving toward action, not just dreaming.
Presenter: What if a person does not find time to do all of this?
James Smith: Here is the big picture: life is too short and when it comes to the end, you can reflect on it either with joy or regret. Those who dream, who set goals and act on them to live out their dreams are those who live lives of joy and have a sense of peace.
Presenter: What is your final piece of advice?
James Smith: Remember about the dreams and goals that are born out of your heart and mind. These are the goals that are unique to you and come from who you were created to be and gifted to become. Your specific goals are what you want to attain because they will make your life joyful!
Presenter: Thank you, James.
James Smith: My pleasure.

Presenter: Hello and welcome! This is The World of Art. In our studio today is Daniela Netting, a Ph.D. Art student from Brown University. Good morning, Daniela!
Daniela: Good morning!
Presenter: Daniela, an exhibition of paintings of a 17th century Flemish painter Michaelina Wautier has just opened at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. You played an important role in the opening of this exhibition, didn't you?
Daniela: I did, but I wasn't alone. There were five other Ph.D. students from my university who did, it was teamwork.
Presenter: What exactly did you do?
Daniela: This was part of the course on History of Art. First, each student did an individual research project on this painter's drawing techniques, artistic influences and how 17th century Flemish culture and customs shaped her career. The results of our projects were used for the exhibition's catalog and wall texts, but not only that. From the beginning, we were the curators of the show. We spent time asking, "What is the message we want to send? What is the story we want to tell? What is special about this artist and her work?" To be given so much control over the message of the show was fantastic, unique and rare.
Presenter: Do you mean that Art students don't often curate exhibitions in major museums?
Daniela: I mean - it's virtually unheard of for students to have a hand in curating any public exhibition, let alone an exhibition at one of the country's largest and most respected museums. I had worked at three museums before this, but Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, gave us an opportunity to learn about how centuries-⁠old art is repaired, how they use infrared technology to look beneath the painted surfaces, how curators research the cultural context of artworks, and how museum employees work together to create educational and original exhibitions. I don't know any other Ph.D. students who have had an opportunity like this.
Presenter: You said, one of the questions you asked yourself was 'What is special about this particular artist and her work?' Did you manage to answer it?
Daniela: Absolutely! Michaelina Wautier lived and painted in Brussels in the mid1600s. But despite her exceptional talent, she was forgotten for centuries, overshadowed by male contemporaries such as Peter Paul Rubens and Anthony van Dyck. Art historians have only recently discovered her and drawn attention to her significance in their scholarly writing, leading to high prices on her work at auctions and increased interest from museum curators across the globe. The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston is the first museum in North America to dedicate a gallery to her work.
Presenter: Could you tell us about some of her paintings that are included in the exhibition?
Daniela: Personally, I love her series called 'The Five Senses'. It's a series of 5 paintings that depict everyday Flemish life with humour. Each of the paintings shows a young boy demonstrating one of the five senses: one boy plays a recorder, for example, and another grimaces as he smells a rotten egg. I also like her selfportrait, painted sometime in the 1640s.
Presenter: What was your main goal in this exhibition?
Daniela: We wanted to give Michaelina Wautier the spotlight she deserves, which was taken away from her for so long. It was exciting to tell a story about women and their value in art - not just as muses or models, but as leading creators themselves.
Presenter: How long will the exhibition be on?
Daniela: Till the end of summer.
Presenter: Daniela, thank you so much for being with us today!
Daniela: My pleasure! Thank you!

Presenter: Hello! Today we continue the discussion of modern professional challenges and their unusual solutions. The guest of our program is Dr. Bennet, a paediatrician from California who believes that a hospital should be run like a spaceship. Good morning, Dr. Bennet! How did you come up with such an unusual idea?
Dr. Bennet: Good morning! Well, I was 8 years old when Neil Armstrong set foot on the Moon and I’ve been following aerospace achievements ever since. So, when I became a doctor and started treating new-⁠born babies, it occurred to me that both healthcare and spaceflights have a lot in common  — they are both complex and high-⁠risk activities. In fact, space flights are often a much higher-⁠risk activity than healthcare, because everything there is happening in the airless environment of space at a very high speed with over 2 million moving parts in the spaceship! So the question arises  — how do they do it… safely?
Presenter: Yes, I have to admit that we don’t hear much about emergencies in spaceflights.
Dr. Bennet: Precisely! Although believe me, emergencies do occur! It is how quickly you can find the right solution that matters. And this is exactly what we have in healthcare, too. So I asked myself: How can I learn how NASA does what it does and apply it to healthcare? And the only obvious answer was  — Go to the source! So I gave NASA a phone call.
Presenter: You did? And did they even answer?
Dr. Bennet: Absolutely! Well, to be honest, it took some time to find the right person to talk to. But once I found him, things became easier. My visit to NASA was arranged. And I found the answer to my question!
Presenter: So, what’s their secret?
Dr. Bennet: Well, it’s not a real secret. In fact, it turned out that everybody knows what they do. Their practice even made its way into videogames!
Presenter: You are not talking about flight simulators, are you?
Dr. Bennet: Of course I am. But again  — it is not so much what they do, but how they do it. In our medical schools we also have simulators. We practice our skills on them before we actually do it on real people. But first of all, very often our students don’t take it seriously. You will hear a lot of giggling in such a class, as if they were playing dolls. Secondly, just as I’ve said, we mostly have those medical simulators in universities  — training our students. Once they become doctors and start working with real patients  — no more simulators. At NASA they have a totally different attitude towards this. Firstly, they simulate everything. There are people who design all sorts of problems astronauts can face in flight and they simulate each one of them and combinations of several. Because as you know, in real life it never rains, but pours. Secondly, it’s not only young inexperienced astronauts who have to do it. No matter how many times you’ve been in space, you have to go through simulation programs. And they do it really seriously.
Presenter: No giggling?
Dr. Bennet: Not at all. They realize how important it is. When they are out there in space, their life depends on how well they can find solutions to problems. And what’s more, after each simulation they have a very serious debriefing.
Presenter: Debriefing is when they discuss how well or badly they did in training, right?
Dr. Bennet: Yes, exactly. But again, they do it in a very business-⁠like way and mostly discuss their weaknesses, not strengths. And what’s more, unlike our medical students, they are happy to find and then discuss their weaknesses and mistakes  — because again, if they discover them in flight, rather than in a simulator, it can lead to very bad consequences, so the more mistakes they make while they are on Earth, the better prepared they will be... (fading out).

Пояснение . There are people who design all sorts of problems astronauts can face in flight and they simulate each one of them and combinations of several...

Presenter: Good evening everyone. We are happy to welcome you to our weekly program "Animal world". Today is a very special day as we have a great opportunity to hear from an amazing woman who knows a lot about wild life and wild animals. Sarah Thomas, it is very good to see you today. Thank you so much for coming.
Sarah: Hello, it is good to be here, thank you for inviting me.
Presenter: So, before we start talking about your experiences with the animals, let me ask you how it all started. Where were you born and were you interested in animals from childhood? How did it all start?
Sarah: Well, I was born in London and my fascination with animal behavior began in early childhood when we moved to York. We lived in a cozy thatched cottage in the most picturesque part of the city and in my leisure time, I observed native birds and animals, making lots of notes and sketches, and I also read a lot in the area of zoology. From an early age, I dreamed of traveling to Africa: I was eager to observe exotic animals in their natural habitats.
Presenter: We know that your dream came true and that you spent quite a bit of time in Africa.
Sarah: Yes, when I was 18 I left school and got a job as a secretary at Oxford University. In my spare time, I worked at a London-⁠based documentary film company because I wanted to make some money for my trip to Africa. One day, completely out of the blue, my childhood friend invited me to visit Kenya, and so I did. There I met an anthropologist Thomas Wild who wanted to perform a study about chimpanzees to see if it would throw more light on evolution. You know, some of my friends and relatives thought that was a crazy idea because I had no college education to do these studies but Thomas believed I had the right kind of character to be able to live in the wild for a long time. Since it was actually my childhood dream, I agreed. That was my very first attempt to study the monkeys. Unfortunately, it wasn’t successful.
Presenter: Did you try again, then? I know you have written several books and filmed a few documentary films about your experience with the chimpanzees.
Sarah: That’s true. I started all over. In 1960 I went to Africa again together with my mum and an African cook. We established a camp on a lake shore. Can you imagine: crystal clear water, sand banks … Anyway, it took me two long years to get close to the monkeys, to the point when they allowed me to be a part of their group.
Presenter: Two years! You’ve got more patience than I have! How did you make them like you in the end?
Sarah: Bananas! For two years I offered them bananas until they actually began to accept me as their own. I came to the same spot every day at the same time and fed them bananas. After one year they stopped running away, after the second year they allowed me to climb trees with them and eat their food.
Presenter: What? Are you serious? You climbed trees with the chimps? That was probably lots of fun!
Sarah: You bet! I had to learn to use my arms and legs like never before. It only looks easy when you observe the animals. We as people are very limited in our abilities to use our limbs: our legs and arms aren’t designed to hang onto tree branches and plant leaves. The monkeys, on the other hand, don’t even have to think about what they are doing when they move. So, there was a lot I had to learn not to fall off those tall trees. That was a real challenge!
Presenter: Was it all worth it, though?
Sarah: Definitely, I still think of that time as one of the best periods of my life. I got so close to these animals that I was able to understand them. I was able to experience what it is like to be inside an animal world.

Пояснение . For two years I offered them bananas until they actually began to accept me as their own.

Presenter: Hello and welcome! This is Dogs Are Our Best Friends. Our guest today is Bentley, a 7-year-old golden retriever, well-known in our town as an "audience dog". Bentley is accompanied by his proud owner Mark Thompson. Good morning, Mark! Great to see you both in our studio today!
Mark: Hello! Great to be here! And thank you for the toy you gave Bentley  — it looks like he's having fun with it!
Presenter: My pleasure! Mark, while Bentley is playing with his new toy, could you tell us what exactly an "audience dog" is?
Mark: Sure! Audience dogs are used in speech therapy and public speaking practice. Some people jokingly call them "public speaking coaches", which is true to some extent.
Presenter: How can a dog help you learn to speak in public?
Mark: Well, as a radio host, you don't stand in front of your listeners, but you still know that thousands are listening to you. Do you remember your first day on the job?
Presenter: Will I ever forget it? I was so nervous, my hands were shaking the whole day! My tongue and lips wouldn't listen to me. It was a disaster.
Mark: Exactly! Public speaking is scary! Even practicing gives some people anxiety, especially if they're practicing in front of a teacher or even a mirror. But with a calm and quiet dog like Bentley as your listener, you feel more comfortable. Dogs create a low-stress environment. They give you a sense of non-judgmental presence that boosts your confidence.
Presenter: Have dogs been doing this for a long time?
Mark: I'm not quite sure. But I do know it began with little kids who had trouble learning to read. Some had emotional or psychological challenges, and reading out loud to dogs helped because they knew the dog wouldn't criticize or judge them if they made mistakes. The dog would simply sit there, listening and wagging its tail. That helped so many kids!
Presenter: How did Bentley become an audience dog?
Mark: We live next to a university, so, every morning Bentley and I jog on the campus grounds. Then, while I stretch, Bentley watches me. One day, a lady approached us asking if Bentley might like to volunteer in their audience dog program. I was curious, and I think, Bentley was too! We tried and loved it! And the students at the university loved it too!
Presenter: So, it's a volunteering program? You don't get anything from it?
Mark: If you mean money  — no, we don't. But students love bringing treats for Bentley. Treats and friends  — that's what he gets! As for me, it just gives me a warm fuzzy feeling that we are helping. One student had to give a speech in front of four thousand people on graduation day. She was terrified. But after practicing with Bentley, she did it beautifully! I watched the ceremony online and was happy for her. She later told me that during her speech, she just imagined there were four thousand Bentleys listening. That cracked me up! So, yeah, I get lots of laughs, too!
Presenter: That's wonderful! So, can any dog be an audience dog?
Mark: No. Bentley was chosen by the University Business School psychologist  — the lady who approached us first. She had seen us several times while on her way to work and noticed how focused Bentley was watching me do my exercises. Not every dog has that focus. I bet, a chihuahua or Jack Russel wouldn't have a long enough attention span! There's also a certification process. The dogs have to be safe for students. So, they need to obey commands, be calm in different situations, be focused even when there are distractions, and of course fully vaccinated. That sort of thing. (fades out)

1.  Growing together with the city.
2.  Mistakes must be corrected.
3.  As if flying over the water.
4.  Wonders of human creativity.
5.  A tale of two bridges.
6.  Water that saves lives.
7.  Marriages made closer to heaven.
8.  Bridging the gap of ideas.

A.  Bridges serve the function of connecting two points separated by a body of water, valley, or any obstacle. Bridges can also be architectural marvels. Throughout history, bridges have been symbolic of human achievement. Ancient civilizations, such as the Romans, Greeks, and Chinese, built impressive bridges that stand as a testament to their engineering capabilities. These historic structures not only connected regions but also reflected the technological advancements of their times.
B.  Some of the most iconic and recognizable bridges in the world are located in London: Tower Bridge and London Bridge. Tower Bridge with its unmistakable neo-⁠Gothic towers, was opened in 1894 and immediately became the symbol of London. London Bridge has a rich history dating back to Roman times. In the Middle Ages, many shops and houses stood on London Bridge, making it too narrow for the traffic. It has been rebuilt numerous times and has inspired songs and stories.
C.  Moscow, like any other city that developed along the banks of a river, boasts a diverse array of bridges that contribute to the city's architectural landscape. From the elegant Bolshoy Kamenny Bridge to the modern Zhivopisny Bridge, each structure tells a story of Moscow's evolution over the centuries. It isn’t easy to count all the bridges of Moscow. If you count all the automobile, metro and pedestrian bridges over the major rivers  — the Moskva, the Yauza and the Setun’  — you will end up with a list of well over a hundred bridges!
D.  Several bridges in Moscow symbolize the connection between the past and the future. One of them is the Rostokinsky Aqueduct, which is the oldest bridge in Moscow. The bridge is 356 meters long and 15 meters high, made of limestone, and was built in 1783−1784 in the current VDNKh area. The bridge represented the government's attention to the needs and aspirations of the people, as it was constructed as part of the first Moscow water pipeline, which was a vital construction during the Black Death epidemic in Moscow.
E.  The Luzhnetsky Metro Bridge spans over 2 km across the Moskva River. This bridge was the first in Moscow to have two levels  — the upper level is for cars, while the lower level is for the metro trains and pedestrians. The Leninskie Gory station, later renamed Vorobyovy Gory, was the first and longest station in the history of the Moscow Metro to be located on a bridge. However, due to construction errors, the station was closed for almost two decades from 1983. Eventually, it was reopened in 2002 after the bridge itself was practically rebuilt.
F.  The Zhivopisny Bridge is situated near Serebryany Bor and links it with Krylatskoe. The bridge was built in 2007, and its architect, Nikolai Shumakov, received the prestigious Auguste Perret Prize for it. The structure features a striking design: a red arch with steel cables extending from it to support the bridge. At the highest point of the bridge, there is a small glass observation capsule. Although there was a plan to conduct wedding ceremonies within it, this idea has not yet come to fruition due to technical challenges.
G.  There is an unusual pedestrian bridge called Soaring, situated in Zaryadye Park. The bridge has a boomerang shape and does not connect two banks but hangs over the water. The bridge is elevated 15 metres above the Moskva River and can accommodate up to 4,000 visitors at a time. It was opened together with the park in 2017 and immediately became popular. Even on weekdays and in overcast weather, it can be quite challenging to find a free spot on the observation deck of this Moscow bridge.

Subject: Welcome

...Our school administration is planning to introduce a new school uniform. Students and parents are welcome to come up with ideas. Personally I’m quite happy with the old one  — a white shirt or a blouse and a tie for both boys and girls. Do all school students in Russia wear a uniform? What's your idea of a good school uniform? Should it be the same for boys and girls?
Just imagine I am going on an exchange school program to France!...

Dear Lisa,
Thanks for your message. 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 skirts 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

Пошаговый разбор и решение:

38.1.  Many people believe that birthday is a special holiday for everyone. The purpose of the project I am currently working on is to find out more about it. As part of my project, I have found and analyzed some data on most popular birthday presents for teenagers in Zetland.
According to the data, there is quite a wide range of presents people traditionally give teenagers for their birthdays. It is clear that the majority of the respondents (46%) consider money the best gift. Moreover, a great number of people (23%) prefer buying gadgets for teenage birthday. It is worth mentioning that chocolate is the best present for 16% of the respondents.
Surprisingly, only 9% of the respondents think of buying soft toys as birthday presents for the adolescents. It is a bit more popular answer than jewellery. To my mind, push toys seem to be childish and jewellery are commonly interesting for girls.
One problem that can arise with choosing birthday present is that sometimes people buy the same things. Unfortunately, it happens and it is unpleasant for everybody. One solution to this problem is to use special appliance where a birthday boy can write his wish list and guests can choose present to buy and tick it.
In conclusion, I firmly believe that birthday presents are very important for teenagers. They are still waiting for this magic time like in their childhood. (232 words)

38.2.  Nowadays a lot of teenagers spend their free time visiting museums particularly there is a variety of museums and galleries. The aim of the project I am currently working on is to find out what museums teenagers like visiting in Zetland. As part of my project, I have found and analyzed some relevant data presented in the diagram.
According to the data, the younger generation in Zetland has quite a wide range of tastes when it comes to cultural enrichment. It is clear, that the vast majority of the respondents prefer visiting interactive museums, 70% of the teenagers have named them. Also, 18% of the interviewed adolescents like spending time going to science museums, whereas historical museums, art galleries and museums of local history appear to be the least popular places to visit.
It is worth mentioning that spending time learning local history is four times less interesting for the teenage visitors than learning history in general. To my mind, historical discoveries attract young generation more than things nearby.
One problem that can arise with visiting museums is that excursions are usually uninteresting owing to the visitors can only walk, look and listen to the guide. One solution to this problem is to organize interactive excursions so that the visitors can touch, try to use or try on copies of museums objects. It makes a visit to a museum become an adventure.
In conclusion, I firmly believe that visiting museums and art galleries plays a significant role in teenagers' life. It helps them learn something new and broaden their horizons. (261 words)

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.

Half the human beings who have ever died, perhaps as many as 45 billion people, have been killed by female mosquitoes. Mosquitoes carry more than a hundred potentially fatal diseases including malaria, yellow fever and elephantiasis. Even today, they kill one person every twelve seconds. Amazingly, nobody had any idea that mosquitoes were dangerous until the end of the nineteenth century. In 1877, the British doctor Sir Patrick Manson proved that yellow fever was caused by mosquito bites.
Seventeen years later it occurred to him that malaria might also be caused by mosquitoes. He encouraged his pupil Ronald Ross to test the hypothesis. Ross was the first person to show how female mosquitoes transmit the parasite. Manson went one better. To show that the theory worked for humans, he infected his own son  — using mosquitoes carried in the diplomatic bag from Rome.

Пояснение . 1.  Russian teenagers normally get pocket money from their parents. They can also find some part-time work in summer but it is not very wide-spread.
2.  I thought about getting a pert-time job. I wanted to get more pocket money but it was very difficult to find a decent job. Russian employers do not like hiring teenagers.
3.  I would prefer working in a cafe because you do not only get salary but also tips. And it is easier to find this type of job.
4.  I suppose, teenagers should start working at around 16. By this age their demands grow and they can do almost the same things as adults.
5.  To my mind, teenagers learn the real value of money. It is easy to waste money when you do not earn it. And it's a different thing when you spend your time and efforts to get this money.

Пошаговый разбор и решение:

Hey, Kate. You know what? I’ve just found two pictures suitable for our project "Exercising". Let me tell you a bit more about them.
These pictures are relevant to our project because there are people doing sports. In the first photo there is a group of people playing volleyball outside. They seem to be friends as they are smiling and having fun. In the second picture there is a young woman exercising in the gym. She is running on a treadmill. The woman is wearing special sportswear. Obviously, both of these pictures are related to sport and healthy lifestyle. But there are differences to illustrate our project better. In the first picture people are playing a game together, while in the second picture a woman exercising alone in the gym.
In my opinion, the both ways of exercising have their advantages. For instance, modern gyms provide quite a wide range of facilities, such as various exercise machines, group training or even swimming pool. As for playing sports games with friends in the park, it helps people relieve stress as well as keep fit. Of course, the two ways of exercising have disadvantages too. For example, going to the gym costs a lot, the membership fee is rather expensive. Meanwhile, playing outside is not possible if the weather is bad since it is not pleasant to get wet, for example.
As for me, I prefer going to a sports gym because there is a lot of things to do there. I like the atmosphere of sports clubs.
So, shall we use these photos in our project? Call me when you’re ready to discuss if we can use them. Bye-⁠bye.
