ARIES (21.03---20.04)
The Aries language student is i'mpatient and always wants to know everything
at опсе. They are always the first to put their hand up in class and сап Ье so
talkative they often don't let the other students talk.
TAURUS (21.04---21.05)
Taurus students prefer drawing in their books to doing exercises. They are
lazy because they know they willlearn опе day (but does it have to Ье today?).
GEMINI (22.05....21.06)
Gemini lеаrпеrs love to make jokes in class апd they find languages easy to
learn, but sometimes don't do as well as they should because they miss а lot
of classes. In class, they never sit still and find concentrating difficult.
САНСЕА (22.06---22.07)
Cancer students cry in class when they don't understand. They don't really
want to Ье there, but they do want to lеаrп. They hate being corrected and
love being told they are impr ing. If they succeed, they are happy and
everyone knows it.
LEO (23.07---23.08)
Leo learners always bring their books to class. They are very well organised
and have separate vQcabulary books with ап A Z index. They will always сору
notes for other students.

VIRGO (24.08 23.09)
You'll find Virgo language learners sitting at the back of the class. They take
twice as long as other students to finish anything. They think they are по good
even though they do well in exams, and they worry about verb tenses at night.
Libra learners like classrooms that are quiet and comfortable. They rarely I
speak in class. They believe everything the teacher says is tru8, even if they
don't understand. They can't decide if 1hey really want to learn English.
SCORPIO (24. 10.....22. 11)
Scorpio students always pass their exams. For some reason, they don't need
to study very hard. They never cheat in exams.

SAGITTARIUS (23.11....21. 12)
Sagittarius language students do whatever а teacher asks them to. They tend
to smile even when they fail. They accept all homework without grumbling. со>

LEARNING FOREIGN LANGUAGES
Secondary schools in ( in J1 е to offer at least оп е
foreign language оп the curriculum. I think t is is t,)ecause
we need to communicate better with our nelghbours in
Europe and because people travel а lot these days. I'm
always iQ1pres;,ed whe I hear foreign politicians like the
German Chancellor speaking English or the Russian
President speaking German.
It is often said that 8ritish people are not good at learning
foreign languages. Perhaps we have Ьесоте lazy because
we know that people throughout the world learn English. If
this is true. we are missing а great opportunity.
I learn French at school but I don 't feel confident about
speaking it. If I could s end оте time in France wo-uld
soon Ьесоте more ttuent- . French grammar is ertainly
difficult, but there are not too тапу exceptlons to the rules.
If I could, I'd like to learn Spanish and Russian. Spanish
would help те to get а job in the tourist industry, as 50 тапу
British people go оп holiday to Spain. I would al50 like to
expand ту knowledge of Spanish customs and traditions,
and to understand he Spanish mentality.
Russian attract5 те because the language sounds 50
beautiful and I would really love to Ье able to read
Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy in the original. I al50 think it would
Ье really beneficial to understanding between our two
countries if more of us spoke Russian.

Making а conclusion
(coming back to
generalisation) .
n
То sum up, I believe that knowledge of foreign languages
helps to make а person educated and well rounded. It is not
only the language that counts, but also the fact that it is а way
of getting to know different cultures. You can't broaden your
mind if you see the world only from the perspective of your
own culture.

е Bongou people are ап ethnic minority in а
former British colony in Africa. They have
their own language, culture and traditions, all of
which are under pressure from the government's
policies and the movement of the population from
the CQuntryside to cities.
For decades now English has Ьееп the official
language of the country and the medium of
instruction in schools and in higher education.
Young Bongous are moving to cities to seek their
fortune and t опсе they do this, they leave their
identity behind. Fifty years ago J there were over 50,000 native
speakers 01 Bongou. Today there are fewer than 10,000.
There are only two Bongou primary schools left; four have
closed in the last decade. The only Bongou..language
newspaper went bankrupt in 1995. The radio station had Ьееп
shut down five years earlier. The prospects for the Bongou
language are not good. If the present trend continues , it will
probably die out Ьу about 2025. Even though there is now а
determined campaign to keep it alive, it won't survive without
commitment Ьу the younger gепеrаtiоп, most of whom seem
to Ье opting for English.

МУ АПIТUDЕ ТО LEARNING ENGLISH
If I could choose subjects, I would never study English at school.
There are а lot of reasons for that. First, English grammar is very
difficult. Verb times (1) make те 105e sleep. Second, the words
there are 50 much (2) of them and I can't remember all (З)! Third,
it is very difficult to read. If I not know (4) а word I соте across, I
try to find it in а dictionary and while I'm looking for it, I forget what
was the sentence about (5). Four1h, it's listening. English..speaking
people speak 50 quickly that I can't catch nothing (6). I work at
English very hardly (7). but nothing doesn't helQ (8). Myfriend says
те (9) that I must find something interesting to lеаrп and that he
has begun (1 О) with the same problems six years ago. But
I afraid (11), it is а bit too late for me to begin!
Isn't this sentence
negative?
(jj That' 5 why you
make so many
mistakes!
Оо you need two
negatives?
(9) 15 there anything
missing here?
1 О Look at the time
expression at the
end of the
sentence!

It is far from being а question of historic sites and
ceremonials important though these are. London is а
24 hour city with nightlife, clubs, restaurants and
iпtеrпаtiопаllу known events. lt (2) plays the role 01 апу
great city throughout the ages bringing together in оп е
place а critical mass of economic, scientific, cultural and
intellectual possibilities.
But а key question is how to unite these elements (3)
physically. What makes this (4) possible is London's
combination of tradition with its status as the world's most
internationalised. 80th (5) are rooted in the city's unique
history for several сепturiеs London was the world's
major part. This (6) made it possible to bring together
"trаditiоп", in the sense of а long uninterrupted historyJ and
the greatest multicultural centre in the world.
Since London Ьесате the greatest melting pot in
the world, diversity and the most modern forms of
communications are integral to London's character: That
(7) creates the city's unique character and аttrасtiоп.
If London is to continue to develop its tourist industry,
this (8) requires ап integrated approach in policing,
transport, culture, and business.
In short, strengthening London as one of the world's
greatest tourist centres, which (9) is а very conscious
palicy 01 the GLA, is not going to lessen the attraction of
the city for its inhabitants. What makes London а great
place for tourists is not only its (1 О) tradition, but that it
(11) is а mоdеrп, "Iivеd iп" city.

The /eader of Westтiпster City Couпcil J 5iтoп Mi/ton, respoпds to
ап artic/e Ьу Кеп Liviпgstoпe, in which he argued in favour of
streпgtheпiпg Loпdoп as а tourist ceпtre.
Кеп Livingstone claims that London's appeal to tourists is that it is а
Ilived..in city" ("London's а great international brand that has to Ье
mar eted carefully", 15 August). I agree with him. But if we want the
reality to match the rhetoric, we need to act now to save the city.
The ilaybrJs endorsement (подцержка) of the "24 hour city" sits
uneasily with his desire for а living city. То have а truly living city, YOU
need residents: local communities, such as the 6,000 people who
live in Soho and Covent Garden in the West End.
They live alongside about 350 bars and clubs that stay ореп,
up to 5 а.т. already. The capacity (BMeCT MO",C1:b) of such bars is
50,000 people, bringing with them noise, nuisance and crime. As
а result, the very residents who make up the "Iived..in city" are bei ng

We need to have sustainable tourism. 11 we don't act, we'll rip
the heart out of London and drive away business and tourists. I )
At Westminster, we've introduced policies to re t.rict new
licences. We want people to have а good night out. but the
community needs а good nightls sleep, and а genuine mix 01 uses
must Ье sustained. If the Mayor wants to deliver а living city, he has
to ensure that those who live in the centre of the city have а quality
of life that most 01 us take for granted (принять как должное).

RUSSIA'S LITTLE EMPТV OXFORD

'IHaving а lovely time. Wish you were here." I ат away
from Samotechny Lane, sending this postcard from
Suzdal. "11
Actually, it would Ье reassuring if anybody were here.

This ancient Russian city is ап architectural jewel,
comparable perhaps to somewhere like Oxford, yet at the
1,)1
height of the tourist season it is almost deserted. I arrived I J
"..\1
as the sun was setting 1 com.ring over а glorious plain with
а prospect not 01 dreaming spires but 01 dreaming onion
УJI domes. Suzdal being опе of the so called "Golden Ring"
religious centres of old Russia.
Now I ат staying in the Tourist Centre. А private
hotelier leapt into the road as I passed, trying to attract
те to his bed and breakfast, but I had already booked
the former state hotel. It is fine. The renov ted room
costs $20 (f12.50) а night. There is soap and toilet paper.
I have promised the private тап to dine at his guesthouse fJ
instead · \JJ}i. .J} VJ
} exp)ore the c.I .1thas а Krem\"ln tfor1ress), а convent,
two monasteries, dozens of churches l dating from the
12th to the 18th centuries and а nearly 200 year old
shopping arcade with traditional iron signs outside the
shops. Little wooden bridges take те back and forth
across the river Kamenka, meandering and thick with
water lilies.
There are по high--rise buildings here. The city is like
ап extended village of wooden houses, with lace curtains
and geraniums in the windows. Goats and geese stand
at the bus stops

GLOSSARY
The locals are poor. А! night. the treet lатрэ are по!
lit. The city budget latks funds. .-f:'!М{AJ f I .....,;?
Yet, there is а feeling of quiet dignity here. The statue
of Lenin in the central square is not overpowering.
Capitalism also seems to have touched Suzdal only
lightly. Absent are the kiosks that make other Russian
cities sleazy.
If onl y there were more road signs to encourage
tourists. If onl y: at the private Kuchkova guesthouse they
could do something about the fJjes. Then Suzdal would
indeed Ье а five star tourist destination. So why are
there so few visitors? Because rich Russians go
abroad and poor Russians do not have holidays, while
Westerners are scared off Ьу the country's instability.
Suzdal is distinctive, ап island of beauty in а sea
of mediocrity. Yet, closely linked to the rest of Russia, it
is dragged down to the соттоп level. 'П that sense,
it is an yt hin g but ап island and will only prosper when
Mother Russia herself finally flourishes.

ARE TOURIST GUIDEBOOKS ALWAYS RELIABLE?
05t Lопdоп guidebooks introduce visitors to the principal hotels,
ccommending а few good restaurants and the vir1ues of St Paulls
Cathedral. But (1) those who pick up the Loпe/y P/aпet Guide will
Ье educated in underground etiquette t and directed to the
Millennium Ооте for architectural inspiration.
While the guide is quick to pOint out the drawbacks of what it
describes as опе 01 the planet's most crowded cities 1 (2) i1 is also
keen to stress the positive aspects of London (3) which are rarely
celebrated.
London residents are controversially described as victims 01
increased pOllution and overcrowding, which makes them
.
aggresslve.
Visitors are told of the capital's residents: "Oon't try and Ье their
friend: they're too absorbed in (4) their оwп world 01 workmates,
school friends and family." The guide's authors Steve Fallon from
Boston, Massachusetts, and PatYale, from Bristol are particularly
exercised Ьу the underground system ("slow, unreliable , and
terribly ехрепsivе"). (5) !t does J however, have а 'Irigid etiquette'J
which visitors ignore. 'Where there's ап escalator you absolutety
must stand оп the right 80 that people in а hurry сап rush up or
down оп the left. This is ап extremely important rule апd should
you break (6) П, you risk getting pushed aside or verbally abused."
Responding to the guide, Louise Wood of the London Tourist
Board denied that the capital's citizens are difficult. "AII our surveys
indicate tourists think Londoners are very friendly. Four out of
five 01 (7) them thought people here were Quite friendly or very
friendly. And even the underground equals or exceeds (8) their
expectations J " she said.

Read what several people say about their professions
. Find who's who?
А. Ilook after all aspects of our company's campaign
to find new customers. "т not directly involved in
selling, but 1 have а team of а dozen representatives
who deal with our customers. 1 need to Ье very
organised. I often work long hours.
В. 1 suppose 1 ат lucky. 1 travel а lot in ту job: all over
Europe in fact. 1 deliver goods to customers and sleep
in ту lorry wherever 1 stop. The hours are very irregular
and 1 have to Ье flexibIe. Sometimes l' m away from
home for three or four weeks.
с. Му work is pretty boring. I work for ап office
cleaning сотрапу in London, which means night shifts
five times а week. Each office has to Ье clean and
bright Ьу 9 o'clock in the morning, so 1 have to work
hard and carefully.
D. I joined the palice force when Ileft school and after
а time in uniform, I moved into crime detection. It's ап
interesting job which is never the same from опе day
10 the next. You need to think quickly and read the
criminal's mind.
Е. I've always enjoyed working with children, though
they сап sometimes drive you crazy. They don't always
learn as much as they should and 1 have to Ье inventive \ \
to find new ways 01 motivating them. I also need to Ье
patient, especially with slower learners.
F. I'm good at communicating and quite creative 50 I
always wanted а job in which 1 could use ту language
skills. I have to work quickly to meet deadlines
tomorrow's newspaper won't wait! What I like best
about ту work is meeting people.

UNIT 3 Lesson 7

G. Holidaymakers are demanding people. Perhaps
that's not surprising since ап annual holiday is
expensive and they expect а lot. But 1 know а lot about
the part of Greece where 1 work and "т helpful and
patient Ьу nature, 50 I get оп very welJ with most of
ту guests.
Н. Caring for sick people takes а lot of patience and
. .IA
compassion. It's not well paid but it is rewarding. The
most satisfying part of ту job is seeing а patient get
well and leave the hospital. We work in teams оп shifts,
so 1 have to Ье flexibIe and co operative in ту work.
1. Dealing with customers is fascinating. 1 didn't pick
up тапу quаlifiс tiопs at school but I have а good
w \... '1 "{
head for figures and I'm naturally ореп and sociabIe,
50 working in а big supermarket suits те. I wish it was
better paid though.
J. Maths was ту best subject at school so I suppose
it was inevitabIe that 1 would get а job involving figures
or топеу. 1 had to pass а series of exams to qualify,
but now I have а pretty good salary and 1 enjoy helping
people with their financial problems.
К. I ат а good listener and I сап keep а clear head in
а difficult situation. 1 often need those qualities as 1
spend most 01 ту time working with families who are
going through а crisis. 1 also have to Ье аЫе to analyse
а situation objectivelYJ without taking sides, and Ье
persistent until а solution is found.

MARTIN'S STORV
I
.
..
ne November night , 1 happened to Ье at home GLOSSA RY
alone. It was nearly 11 o'clock and I was just
, ,
beginning to fall asleep, when I noticed а vague, musty
smell. First I thought it was ту imagination but it grew
.(
5 stronger and really nasty. I got out of bed and looked
around ту room, then I went out оп the landing, trying to
find where the smell was coming from. It seemed to Ье
all over the house. It was "weird , but 1 was tired and went
back to bed, still wondering about the smell. I thought
1 О I'd sort it out in the morning.
About 2 o'clock in the morning, I woke up suddenly to
а loud cfaning sound. Опсе , then again. 1 was sure 1
heard it coming from downstairs. Hesitating for а moment, I quickly ran downstairs
to see what it was. There was по опе there and the sound had stopped.
Slowly I went back upstairs, and only then I noticed that it was very cold in the
house. Му whole body was shaking frorj1 the cold, it was hard to breathe and
every breath made а little white mist in the freezing air. The musty smell in the
house was really horrible now. I could hear ту heart pounding loudly.
Му hand shook as Ileaned forward to ореп ту bedroom door and I suddenly
20 felt I wasn't alone in the house anymore. Му h ir s\2.gd оп end. Му first impulse
was to run away. Instead I quietly turned the handle and pushed the door ореп.
,
The sight I saw struck terror in ту hear1 and it nearly stopped. Standing оп ту
#, f
bed was the transparent form 01 а hooded monk . His back was turned towards
.Il
те and he made по sound or movement. f-v/
I was rooted to the spot Ьу fear and couldn't think or utter а sound. I was
dead scared ; апу movement or noise might make the monk turn and look at те.
What I feared most of all was his gaze. } а J.!
Then suddenly, the gRastiy figure started to fad awa y, first the feet, then the
rest When his head finally disappeared, the house wasn't cold anymore. I was
30 so relie ed ту legs felt like j fiy."1 had to sit down оп the floor for а while.
Later оп, still feeling weak at the knees, I went downstairs for а drink to calm
myself down. I switched оп all the lights in the house, and as soon as I got myself
together, I called а friend and went to stayat his place. Never again did I sleep in
that room!

n а recent research study an average of 48 per сеп of dog owners and
41:
ЗЗ per cent of cat owners said their pets responded to their thoughts.
Surprisingly, little research has Ьееп done оп these phenomena.
1,.1" .
I have Ьееп investigating some of these unexplained powers of animals,
powers 01 perception that сап Ье grouped into three categories: telepathy;
sense of direction; and premonitions. J'I. · '1'
То test these possibilities, you have to do experiments. I and ту colleagues
have concentrated оп the phenomenon of dogs that know when their owners
are coming home. Other kinds of animal telepathy сап also Ье investigated
experimentally, such as the ability of dogs to know when they are going to Ье
taken for walks. In these experiments the dogs are kept in а separate room
and videotaped. Their owner, at а randomly selected time, thinks about taking
the dog for а walk <t then fiv r linute later 9Qes so. Our experiments have
shown dogs exhiblting obviQuS exciterhent when their owner is thinking about
.. ...
taking them out, although they could not have known this Ьу normal sensory
means.
Animals' sense of direction is another unexplained power. Dogs and cats
сап make their way home from unfamiliar places тапу miles away. Even if
some э6есiеs have а compass sense. enabIing them to detect the Earth's
magnetic field. this cannot explain their ability to navigate.
Animals also exhi. }t.w at1.we might ca' lemonitions, for example, animals
that Ьесоте disturЬеdЪеfоrе earthqucfКes. J . I
AII three types of pe1'teptiveness; telepathy, the sense of direction and
premonitions seem better developed in non..human species than in people.
Although very little research has Ьееп done l such premonitions ,"'
,. 1 11.' .l
seem to occur in the human realm too. We might have lost
some 01 these abilities because we по longer need them:
telephones and television have taken the place of telepathy;
maps and global posffionihg systems have replaced
sense of direction...

he series La Feттe Nikita is оп е of the few that I attempt to
regularly tune into each week. Some friends talked те into
giving this show а try and I have never regretted it.
It is about а woman falsely accused of а murder and sentenced
to life in prison. Then people who belong to а counter terrorism
ШQ!!Q take her away and make her work for them. The lead
character Nikita (Peta Wilson) is beautiful tall J blonde J blue
eyed, well built. She сап also otfer а full range of acting ability and
tacial expressions.
I'm по! а die hard fan analysing every sentence, glance, or
breath of every character in every episode, but I certainlyenjoy
the show. Д person who sауs this show has poor acting or poor
character and plot development is most likely disappointed Ьу апу
ТУ series and not being fair to the genre. This show says more with
а moment 01 silence than most shows say in ап hour of dialogue. It
is impossible for а show that has run as long as this опе to dot
every "i" and cross every "1", and of course there will Ье holes.
But Ьу a"d large the show remains true to itself and at the top 01
its genre. The acting and action are appropriate, the plot works well
enough to create suspense and the character development is the
best that I.ve witnessed from апу long..term series.
11 you want to see а good drama / action show, watch La
Feттe Nikita. The next season begins January 9th.

D 00 children kno whic rogrammes are suitabIe and which are inagpropriate
for them ? Obvibusly, tliey don 't.
D These days, violent programmes are attracting bigger and bigger audiences,
especially among the young. Oid you know. for example, that 64% 01 all violence
takes place in cartoons? And how тапу parents would stop а child from watching
а cartoon? In апу case, few parents actually check up оп what their kids are
watching t especially now that 80 тапу of them have а ТУ in the bedroom. And
thatJs where the problems start . It's not always easy for children to determine
the difference between reality and fantasy, and some of them begin to imitate
the violent behaviour they see in their favourite programmes.

D Has апуопе heard about the experiment with dolls? 1 read about it recently. L
yJApparently, psychologists showed two groups of children separate versions of а
q i11/f ()t... . ч...
video. The first group saw а girl playing with а doll, whereas the second group
saw another girl kicking and hitting the same doll. Afterwards, the children ( IJm
not sure how old they were sorryt ) were left alone in а room with а dolllike the
оп е in the videos. The first group played normally with the doll and the other
toys, but ( you've guessed it! ) the econd group soon started behaving violently

APPEAL ТО HOLL YWOOD
D American parents today are deep l 'i worried about their children's exposure to
ап increasingly toxic popular culture.
D According to а recent CNN USA Today Gallup poll, 76 per cent of adults agree
that TV, movies and popular music are negative influences оп children. Moreover,
there is а direct link between our violent and dеgrаdiпg entertainment culture
and the horrifying new crimes among our young.
D Therefore we , the undersigned, call ироп executives of the media industry to
join with America's parents in а new social compact aimed at renewing our
culture and making our media environment more healthy for our society and
safer for our children.
D We .agpeal to industry leaders in all media to develop а new voluntary code of
conduct. The code we envision would:
1 state the industry's vital responsibilities for the health of our culture;
2 establish certain minimum standards for vlolent, sexual and degrading
material;
3 forbid the practice of selling adult oriented programmes to youth markets;
4 make the industry develop good family oriented entertainmentA
We strongjy urgg parents to express their support for а new voluntary code of
conduct Ьу signing this Appeal..
There are now over 10,000 signatories to the Appeal.

ou will probably laugh а little at that list J but there is а
clear relationship between the ar110un t f tv viewing опе -
does and 811 of the qualities I've described. After all, being
...
the audience for а tv is а passive act; scientists told the Los .
Angeles Times that оп average, а child watching television
slips into the passive brain state within 30 seconds of
beginning to watch television. Most adults I know seem to .
.
start out that way.
For те, watching television is ап exercise in observation; ..
I ат aware of camera angles, stage..setting J editing and
message--shaping more than of what tv tries to sell те ; J
indeed, it doesn't take much to Ьесоmе а sophisticated tv
viewer all you have to do is turn it off for а while to see
how empty and manipulative it is when you turn it оп again.
That unreality was never more painfully real than the time
I watched Mike Wallace recap key moments of the '70s
during а New Yearts Eve broadcast. The most powerful 01
the images was 01 the terrorists at the 1972 Munich Olympic
Games. I re..experienced the horror of the murders of the Israeli
athletes growing more deeply involved in the story with every
passing second.
With по warning, а Miller Beer commercial suddenly blared
onto the screen J and it was as though а fully...loaded garbaoo.
truck had plowed into ту gut. I almost vomited with the shock
and sense 01 violation.
Admittedly, I have spent а few great moments in front 01
the tube . Live [lalv] coverage 01 the Detroit riots in 1966, the
assassination 01 Lee Harvey Oswald Ьу Jack Ruby in 1963, and
the end of President ReaganJs first State of the Union address
might qualify, thougb. .
Each of those events, I would note, was broadcast live, free
01 commercial interruption. But I suspect that television
executives would decide whether to show Jack Ruby's act
today. That's another problem with tv: It'5 carefully controlled
and information is fed to Americans Ьу just а few huge
corporations, and they seem unable to understand п.
Apri123 29 is National TV--ТurпоffWееk, and I urge everyone
who wants to see another world in this lifetime namely, this

Fill in the gaps with опе of the relative clauses from the Ьох.
Children (1) .. о are less aroused Ьу violent scenes than those who only
watch а littleo Опе example: in several studies, those (2) 0'0 were slower to
stop the fight or to call for help when they saw younger children fighting or
playing destructively
Findings from the laboratory, (3) ..., are supported Ьу field studies
(4) о.. . Leonard Eron, Pho 00' and his associates а! the University of lIIinois,
found that children who watched тапу hours of тv violence when they were
in elementary school tended to show а higher level of aggressive behavior
when they Ьесате teenagerso Ву observing these youngsters until they
were 30 years old, Or Eron found that the ones (5) '0' were more likely to Ье
arrested for criminal acts аБ adults.
In spite of this accumulated evidence, broadcasters and scientists
continue to debate the link between the viewing тv violence and children's
aggressive behavioro Some broadcasters believe that there is not enough
evidence to prove that тv violence is harmful. Ви! scientists (6) о.. say that
there is а link between ТУ violence and aggression, and in 1992, the
