УРОВЕНЬ 2: INTERMEDIATE (СРЕДНИЙ УРОВЕНЬ СЛОЖНОСТИ)

Текст 2.1: "Rainbow of Seasons"

Задание: прочитай текст и составь план (на английском языке), озаглавив каждый абзац.

Text: There are four seasons in a year, and each one offers unique ways to spend your free time. In spring, nature awakens. The air is fresh, and the first flowers appear. This is the perfect time for long walks in the park, cycling, and having picnics with friends to enjoy the mild weather.

Summer, my favorite season, brings warmth and long holidays. It's the ideal time for travelling. Many people go to the seaside to sunbathe and swim. Others prefer active holidays like hiking in the mountains or visiting new cities and countries. The days are long, so you can do a lot of things.

Autumn is beautiful with its colorful leaves. The weather is cool and crisp. It's a great season for cultural tourism. You can visit museums, art galleries, and theaters. Some people enjoy gathering mushrooms in the forest or just walking through the rustling leaves in a park.

Winter, despite the cold, is a time of joy. In Russia, winter is associated with snow, skiing, and skating. It's also the season of holidays like New Year and Christmas. Many families travel to winter resorts or go to festive markets in big cities like Moscow and St. Petersburg.

Текст 2.2: "Should You Visit Russia? International Opinions"

Задание: заполни таблицу мнениями туристов (плюсы и минусы).

Text: People from different countries share their impressions of travelling in Russia.

Simon from England says: "My main reason to visit Russia was its unique culture and architecture. You will definitely find lots of things to do. However, living in Moscow is not cheap. Food and transport are more expensive there."

Laura from the USA adds: "While Moscow is busy, the villages are very quiet. Russian people are very hospitable and friendly."

Joan from Germany points out a problem: "English is not widely spoken, especially outside big cities. Without the language, it's difficult to travel. Also, some hotels are below European standards."

Hitomi from Japan disagrees: "Russia is definitely worth visiting! Moscow is a wonderful city, and where else can you see such beautiful landscapes?"

Текст 2.3: "Planning a Trip to St. Petersburg"

Задание: представь, что ты получил(а) письмо от друга. Напиши ответ, используя информацию из текста и отвечая на вопросы друга.

Prompt (Letter from a friend): "...Our school trip to Russia is planned for January. We are going to stay in St. Petersburg for only 2 days. Do you think we'll have enough time to see the most important places? What places should we see first? What museum will you recommend to visit?..."

Information to use in your answer:

• St. Petersburg has a lot of sights (museums, palaces, churches).

• Two days is not enough to see everything.

• Must-see places: Palace Square, the Winter Palace (Hermitage Museum), Nevsky Prospect.

• Recommendation: Definitely visit the Hermitage, one of the biggest art museums in the world.

• Weather in January: cold and snowy, so wear warm clothes.

УРОВЕНЬ 3: UPPER-INTERMEDIATE / ADVANCED (ВЫСОКИЙ УРОВЕНЬ СЛОЖНОСТИ)

Текст 3.1: "The Rise of Eco-Tourism"

Задание: Прочитай текст и кратко передай его содержание на английском (3-4 предложения), выразив свое отношение к данному виду отдыха.

In recent years, the tourism industry has witnessed a significant shift from mass-market beach holidays to more sustainable and responsible forms of travel, known as eco-tourism. This trend involves traveling to natural areas while conserving the environment and improving the well-being of local people. Instead of staying in large hotel complexes, eco-tourists choose small, locally-owned lodges. They participate in activities like wildlife observation, trekking in national parks, and learning about local cultures and traditions. For Russian travelers, destinations like Altai, Kamchatka, or Lake Baikal offer pristine nature and excellent opportunities for this type of holiday. Abroad, countries like Costa Rica and Iceland are pioneers in eco-tourism, offering volcanic landscapes, geysers, and unique biodiversity. The goal is not just to see the world, but to leave a positive impact on it.

Текст 3.2: "Is Overtourism Killing Our Favorite Destinations?

Задание: прочитай текст. Используя аргументы из текста и собственные знания, разыграйте в парах диалог между туристом и местным жителем европейского города (например, Венеции или Барселоны).

Text: The term "overtourism" refers to the situation when too many visitors flock to a popular destination, causing negative impacts on the local community and the environment. While tourism brings money, it also brings crowds, pollution, and rising prices. Locals in cities like Barcelona, Venice, and Amsterdam often complain that they can no longer afford to live in the city center because apartments are turned into short-term rentals for tourists. The narrow streets become impassable, and the authentic atmosphere of the city disappears. On the other hand, the tourist industry argues that it provides jobs and supports local businesses. The question remains: how can we find a balance between enjoying the world's beauty and preserving it for future generations?

Role-play:

• Tourist: You are excited to see the famous sights. You have saved money for a long time for this trip. You don't understand why locals seem unfriendly.

• Local Resident: You are frustrated. You can't sleep because of the noise at night. You have to walk through crowds just to get to work. All your favorite local shops have been replaced with souvenir stores.

Текст 3.3: "Seasonal Contrasts: A Siberian Winter vs. A Mediterranean Summer"

Задание: прочитай текст и сравни два типа отдыха, заполнив диаграмму Венна (в письменной форме).

For those seeking extreme experiences, a winter expedition in Siberia is unforgettable. Temperatures can drop below -40°C. The activities are unique: dog sledding, ice fishing on Lake Baikal, and observing the stunning winter landscape. It's a test of endurance, offering a special kind of silent beauty.

In stark contrast, a summer holiday on the Mediterranean coast of France or Italy is about relaxation and pleasure. The climate is hot and sunny. Tourists spend their days swimming in the crystal-clear sea, sunbathing on sandy beaches, and enjoying delicious local cuisine and fine wine in the evening. It's a holiday for the senses, focused on comfort and leisure. While one is an adventure, the other is a retreat. However, both offer a deep appreciation of nature—the raw power of cold versus the gentle warmth of the sun. Both also provide a break from routine and a chance to make lasting memories.
