№2. Read and translate the text:

When we want to buy things, we usually say we are going shopping. We go to a store (American English) or shop (British English). If it is a group of shops together, we might say we are going to the shopping center. If we want to buy food, we may say we are going grocery shopping. A shopping mall is a large group of shops in a covered area in which you can walk around.

A large shop that sells all kinds of foods is called a supermarket. A hypermarket usually includes a supermarket and department store. A department store is a large shop with different sections or departments selling lots of different things. A delicatessen or deli sells cooked foods or prepared foods like salads, cold cooked meats and cheeses. A butcher sells different meat products. A fruit and vegetable shop or greengrocer sells fruit and vegetables. A bakery sells different kinds of bread. A florist is a shop or company that sells flowers, especially flowers that have been put together in a special way. A secondhand shop has things that are not new. A plant shop or garden center is a place where you can buy flowers and plants to grow in your garden. A boutique sells women's clothing and jewelery. Factory outlets are stores selling brandname clothes and shoes at discounted prices. A stall is a place in a market where you can sell things.

A store that sells milk, ice-cream, small amounts of groceries etc. and is often open longer than other stores has different names in different English-speaking countries: for example, convenience store, 7-Eleven (parts of Australia), dairy (New Zealand), corner store, superette or newsagent. You need to find the name that is used where you are living.

A store that has a drive-thru or drive-through part allows you to buy something without leaving your car.

The person who helps or serves you in a store is known as a shop assistant or sales assistant. If we need to see the person in charge, we ask to speak to the manager or a supervisor. A changing room is a place in the shop with a mirror where you can try clothes on. The checkout is the place where you pay for what you have bought. The till (British English) or cash register (American English) is the machine used to add up how much is spent and give change. At a supermarket you put your food in a cart known as a shopping cart or trolley.

If you want to exchange something, you want to change or replace it for something else because it's the wrong size etc. A receipt is a piece of paper that lists what you bought from a shop and the price. If you get a bargain, you think something is a cheap or good price. If you pay in cash, you pay in money in notes and coins. If something is on special, the price of something is lower than it usually is. When a shop has a sale, it is selling things at lower prices than it usually does. Fresh food is food that is not old and it has been made or picked not long ago.

Числительное – это часть речи, обозначающая количество или порядок предметов. В английском языке, как и в русском, есть два вида числительных, порядковые (ordinal) и количественные (cardinal). Количественные числительные обозначают число предметов (отвечают на вопрос «сколько?»). Порядковые числительные обозначают порядок предметов (отвечают на вопрос «который?»).

1	one	first	22	twenty-two	twenty-second
2	two	second	23	twenty-three	twenty-third
3	three	third	24	twenty-four	twenty-fourth
4	four	fourth	25	twenty-five	twenty-fifth

10	ten	tenth	40	forty	fortieth
11	eleven	eleventh	50	fifty	fiftieth
12	twelve	twelfth	60	sixty	sixtieth
13	thirteen	thirteenth	70	seventy	seventieth
14	fourteen	fourteenth	80	eighty	eightieth

19	nineteen	nineteenth	100 000	one hundred thousand	hundred thousandth
20	twenty	twentieth	1 000 000	one million	millionth
21	twenty-one	twenty-first	1 000 000 000	one billion	billionth

Цифра ноль в английском языке в зависимости от контекста может читаться по-разному: zero, o, nil.

Ноль произносится как «zero», когда ноль используется в дробях, процентах, телефонных номерах и в определенных выражениях.

O (читается, как английская буква o [əu]) – используется в обозначении годов, времени, в адресах, иногда в телефонных номерах.

Nil – используется в счете спортивных матчей.

Простые дроби (fractions) в английском языке часто пишутся словами и через дефис, если в числителе или знаменателе не используется свой дефис. Для того, чтобы правильно произнести дробь на английском языке, нам надо знать и порядковые, и количественные числительные. Для числителя (numerator) используются количественные числительные, а для знаменателя (denominator) – порядковые. Знаменатель, принимает окончание множественного числа -s, если числитель больше единицы.

Пример: 1/5 – one fifth, 4/7 – four sevenths, 2 ¼ - two and one fourth/quarter

Десятичные дроби (decimals) в английском языке читаются с помощью слова point (точка), после которой все цифры читаются отдельно. Это правило не относится к счету денег.

Пример: 0.5 – zero point five, 43.75 – forty-three point seventy-five

№6. Translate the words:

Для обозначения арифметических действий в английском языке используют следующие слова:

	Translation		Translation		Translation
addition		add		plus
subtraction		subtract		minus
multiplication		multiply		times
division		divide by		divided by
equality		is equal to		equals to

Lesson 4

Eating traditions

№1. Read the text "British Meals”

The usual meals are breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner. Most families have three meals a day. Breakfast is from 07.00 to 9.00. A typical English breakfast consists of а plate of cereals, a slice of toast, a glass of orange juice and a cup of coffee or tea. The traditional English breakfast consists of eggs, bacon, sausages, fried bread, baked beans and mushrooms. Many English people now take such a full breakfast only on Sunday evening.

They generally have lunch between 12.00 and 14.00. It usually consists of a light meal of soup, sandwiches or salad, cheese and fruit and a cup of coffee or tea.  The businessman in London usually finds it impossible to come home for lunch, and so he goes to a cafe or restaurant; but if they can make it home for lunch, they have cold meat (left over probably from yesterday's dinner), potatoes, salad and pickles, with a pudding or fruit to follow. Sometimes British have a mutton chop, or steak and chips, followed by biscuits and cheese, and some people like a glass of light beer with lunch.

Afternoon tea you can hardly call a meal, but it is a sociable sort of thing, as friends often come in then for a chat while they have their cup of tea, cake or biscuits. In some houses dinner is the biggest meal of the day. It is usually in the evening (at about 19.00). They begin with soup, followed by fish, roast chicken, potatoes and vegetables, a sweet, fruit and nuts, coffee. But in a great many English homes they make the midday meal the chief of the day, and in the evening they have simple dinner - an omelette, or sausages, sometimes bacon and eggs and sometimes just bread and cheese, a cup of coffee or cocoa and fruit.

In Egypt you can express your satisfaction and compliment the cook with a loud belch after a meal.

In Mexico it is considered rude to leave the table until a respectable amount of time has passed after a meal. You are expected to keep your hands above the table at all times

In Sweden, even on a date, it is customary to pay their share of the bill. This is calculated precisely, it isn’t enough to estimate it roughly.

In Crete people seldom eat the last meal of the day until 9 p.m. Restaurants will be largely empty during what is considered the dinner rush in America.

In Brazil people have their dinner very late- at about 10 o’clock at night. They never eat with their hands. They always use a folk and knife. They drink a lot of coffee and fruit drinks during the day. They like eating with their friends and family.

In Germany it is polite to have both hands above the table at all times. You shouldn’t rest your elbows on the table. It is considered impolite to leave food on the plate. Waiters expect a 5 to 10 percent tip after serving a meal.

In Italy people take food seriously. They prefer to dine in a leisurely fashion.

Lesson 5

Healthy or junk food

№1. Read, translate the text and answer the questions

It's important for people to eat as much as they need to give them energy. If they eat too little food or the wrong food, they won't have enough energy. If they eat too much, they will need to make more exercise; otherwise they will put on weight. When we eat the correct quantity of food for the exercise we take, we call this the energy balance.

Fat is very high in calories, and so is no help at all in keeping energy balance. Fat has also been linked with heart disease, and many experts believe that eating less would help to reduce it.

Sugar isn't good for the energy balance either. The only value of the diet is to provide energy, and you can get that from other foods. There's no doubt that too much sugar makes you fat and it doesn't do your teeth much good either.

Fibre, on the other hand is something that we eat too little of. One of the simplest ways of eating more fibre is to eat more bread, particularly whole meal, granary, or high fibre bread. It’s a good, cheap source of fibre and nutrients without too many calories. Potatoes are good, too. Like bread, they are underrated, but they're excellent for filling you up without making you fat, especially if you don't cover them with butter or fry them in fat. So, eat less fatty food (sweets, chocolate, cakes pudding, jam) and eat more fibre foods (bread, potatoes, pasta, fresh fruit and vegetables).

№9. Read and translate some ways of healthy life

Choose water as a drink

Water is the best way to quench your thirst – and it doesn’t come with the added sugar found in soft drinks, fruit juice drinks and other sweetened drinks. Reduced fat milk for children over 2 years of age is a nutritious drink and a great source of calcium. Give kids and teens whole fruit to eat, rather than offering fruit juices which contain less fibre. 

Eat more fruit and vegies

Eating fruit and vegies every day helps kids and teens grow and develop, boosts their vitality and can reduce the risk of many chronic diseases. Aim to eat 2 serves of fruit and 5 serves of vegies every day. Have fresh fruit available as a convenient snack and try to include fruit and vegies in every meal.

Eat fewer snacks and select healthier alternatives. Healthy snacks help kids and teens meet their daily nutritional needs. Snacks based on fruit and vegies, reduced fat dairy products and whole grains are the healthiest choices. Limit snacks that are high in sugar or saturated fats – such as chips, cakes and chocolate – which can cause children to put on excess weight.

Lesson 6

Healthy life

№1. Read and translate the text

So, it’s good to have healthy habits. Some people believe that the number thirteen brings bad luck. Instead, today, the number thirteen is going to bring your health!

The first healthy habit is to eat breakfast every morning. Eating breakfast can help people feel better through the day. Students who eat breakfast usually do better at college! A good breakfast includes fruits, vegetables, and grains.

The second healthy habit is to eat fish. The Health Association suggests eating fish two times each week.

The third healthy habit is to sleep enough. Poor sleep quality can affect our memory and learning. Experts advise getting at least seven hours of sleep a night.

The fourth healthy habit is to make social connections. Spending time with other people can also help reduce stress. An active mind is a healthy mind!

The fifth healthy habit is to exercise. Exercise is very important for good health. It helps control a person’s body weight. Exercising helps grow healthy muscles, bones, and joints. It reduces the risk of high blood pressure and diabetes. Exercising reduces the risk of death from heart diseases. Exercise helps people to think and move better. It helps manage stress, improves emotions, and gives people lots of energy!

The sixth healthy habit is to care for your teeth. Research shows that taking care of your teeth can add over six years to your life! So remember to wash, brush and clean between your teeth!

The seventh healthy habit is to have a hobby. A hobby is something that you enjoy doing. It could be running, reading or making something with your hands. Hobbies help people to relax and rest. Hobbies bring us joy.

The eighth healthy habit is to protect your skin. The sun produces ultraviolet, or UV rays. These rays can harm our skin.

The ninth healthy habit is to eat healthy between meals. Eating between meals is called snacking. Many people snack on unhealthy foods - foods that are high in sugar, salt or fat. Fruits and vegetables are a better choice. Remember an apple a day keeps the doctor away.

The tenth healthy habit is to drink water. Our bodies are made of mostly water. In fact, our bodies are sixty to seventy percent water! Water helps our bodies work right. Water helps to clear our bodies of harmful waste materials. Eight glasses of water a day does a body good! The eleventh healthy habit is to drink tea.
