1. Jessica is telling her schoolmate Anne about her summer holidays.

Did she have a good time? (Listening/reading for the main idea)

• Jess, how was your holiday?

• Oh, great, thank you. I went to Paris with my sister.

• Fantastic! You're lucky.

• I am. My sister asked me to join in the project in which she and her friend are involved.

• What project?

• It is called 'World Challenge.' It's when a group of people get together and plan a trip to a chosen (выбранную) country.

• Super! Anything special to do?

• Oh, simple. You help by doing the shopping for an elderly person or helping in a hospital. So, that you can raise some money for your trip. My sister and her friends formed a group called the Tidy Town Committee. We cleaned up the nearest park and planted trees at the playground. We also helped the local kindergarten by painting the hall. It was fun doing something useful. Both my sister and I really enjoyed the experience.

• That's a great idea! Any plans for the next year?

• Sure, I'd like to visit Russia someday. Would you join me?

• I'm all for it.

• This year I want to try babysitting or maybe delivering newspapers (разносить газеты). What do you think?

• Actually, I'm not keen on delivering newspapers. But I like babysit­ting a lot. Let's go and tell Kate and Susan about the project.

• I'd love to, but I (go) to a con­cert with my friends.

• Well, can we do something this weekend?

IV. Reading/listening for spe­cific information

• Would you like to go to Great Britain?

• Oh, I'd love to. I think it is a very interesting country.

• Why are you so sure?

• I've read a lot of books about Britain and I would like to go there and see green valleys, beautiful lakes and mountains.

• Then you should visit Scotland and see Loch Ness, where ac­cording to the legend a large monster lives.

• Do you really believe in legends? Anyway, it would be interesting to see this famous lake. Besides, Scotland is famous for its castles, and one of them is situated on the shore of this lake.

• By the way, Britain is said to be the garden kingdom. There are a lot of extraordinary gardens and parks there.

• Yes, the most famous of them is situated in Longleat. It is known for its wonderful Maze. I hope to go there some day and have a walk in the Maze.

• As for me, I'd like to visit Stonehenge and touch these famous stones.

• I'm afraid, you won't be able to do it, because this famous site is fenced off to protect it from damage.

• Really? Then I'll take a picture of myself on the background of this wonderful sight.

V. Reading/listening for spe­cific information

• Do you like travelling?

• Actually, I don’t. I can't stand long train or air journeys with heavy luggage. It's much better to stay at home and watch TV.

• But while travelling you can see a lot of interesting things that you can never see staying at home and watching TV. It goes without saying that travelling broadens the mind.

• I wouldn't say that. Most of tourist places are polluted and overcrowd­ed. Today tourists have no respect for the countries they visit. The beauty of many places has disappeared forever. So, who needs such holiday?

• I can't agree with you. You don't have to visit popular tourist places, but you may discover new faraway places and enjoy the scenery. Besides, while travelling you can also improve your knowledge of foreign languages.

• Well, thanks to computers and the Internet we have plenty of op­portunities to practise a foreign language at home.

• But you must admit that when you travel, you can try foreign food and make a lot of new friends.

• Perhaps, you are right. However, travelling is rather expensive nowadays.

• Not exactly! If you are short of money, you can have a working holiday. Why not go to Great Britain to help wildlife and improve the landscape?

• Well, it's a good idea! I'll think it over.

• Would you like a ticket to a football game? I bought it on the spur of the moment. I forgot I wouldn't be in the city this Sunday.

• Thanks. I'd like to. I haven't been to any games this year.

• You haven't missed anything. The good games have been few. Our team hasn't played very well.

• But they haven't done too badly. Remember, they won the last two games. I'm confident they'll win this game, too.

• I think so. At the moment they seem to be on their toes.

• Let's hope for the best. Good luck. Bye.

• Bye-bye. See you later.
