Речевая зарядка
When the English tongue
we speak,
Why
is BREAK
not rhymed with WEAK?
Will you tell me why
it’s true,
We
say SEW,
but likewise FEW?
And the maker of a
verse
Can’t
rhyme his HORSE
and WORSE.
CORD
is different from WORD.
COW
is COW,
but LOW is
LOW,
SHOE
is never rhymed with TOE.
Wherefore
DONE, but
GONE and
LONE.
Is there any reason
known?
And in short it seems
to me
Sound and letters
disagree.

IV Speaking
Nowadays mobile
telephones and computers are more important in our life. Why are
they important for people?
I couldn’t
live without my computer at home. I use it all the time. It is like
a typewriter and address book for me. Besides I can go on the
Internet and discover everything about anything. It’s a brilliant
source of information.
Computers can
help you keep in touch with your friends writing and receiving
e-mails. It only takes a few minutes to get a reply.
Yes, I
completely agree with you. And what about mobile telephones?
I think mobile
telephones are the great invention in our world. I need a telephone
to get in touch with my friends.
And what’s
your opinion? (Sergei)
I have a
telephone to ring my parents and send and receive messages from my
friends. I think it is very useful thing of communication.
As for me
telephones and computers are the most fastest means of
communication.
But they say
that mobile telephones are dangerous for our health. The rays may
cause headaches and even more dangerous diseases. Do you agree with
it?
Yes, I agree
with it. But it is worth using it.

1. English is a
Germanic language. The Anglo-Saxons contributed to the formation of
English most of all. English grammar is still very similar to German.
There are also a lot of French words in English from when from when
William Duke of Normandy became the King of England in 1066. You can
find a lot of Scandinavian words in English too. They came from the
times when the Vikings raided Britain. The English alphabet came from
Latin. Christian monks, who spoke Latin, brought it to England from
Ireland.
2. “Do you speak
English?” – with this phrase begins the conversation between two
people, that speak different languages and want to find a common
language. It’s very good when you hear: “Yes, I do”, and start
talking. People of different countries and nations have to get along
well with the progress in world trade and technology as well as with
each other. So it is very useful to learn foreign languages.
Knowledge of foreign languages helps us to develop friendship and
understanding among people.
3. English is the
language of computers, science, business, sport and politics. It’s
spoken over the world. It is the official language of the United
Kingdom, Ireland, the United States of America, Canada, Australia.
There are more than 750 million speakers of English in the world.
4. They say English is
an easy language. But learning a foreign language is a long and slow
process that takes a lot of time and efforts. Nowadays it’s
especially important to know foreign languages. Some people learn
languages because they need them for their work, others travel
abroad, for the third studying foreign languages is a hobby.
Everyone, who knows foreign languages can speak to people from other
countries, read foreign authors in the original, which takes outlook
wider.
5. The world has to
understand America because it is one of the biggest and strongest
countries. Everybody wants to do business with America. These facts
are very interesting. Six out of ten richest people in the world are
Americans.The whole world eats in American restaurants: Mac Donalds,
Burger King and Pizza Hut.The whole world wears American jeans such
as Levis. Hollywood is the biggest film producer in the world. The
most popular films in the world are American. The USA is the world
leader in science and technology.
