My name is Petrova Anna. I am Russian. I was born on May 5, 1992 in Bratsk, Irkutsk region, under the zodiak sign of Taurus. I believe that stars influence our fate and character. They say that Taurus is patient, practical, fond of art, stubborn, lazy and fond of money. I'm quite sociable and easy to deal with. I have many friends with whom we spend much time together. I can also add that I'm intelligent, calm and never lose my temper. I love animals and children. My hobby is collecting badges.

I live together with my parents. My father is a doctor, he works at a hospital. My mother is a housewife. She has much work to do about the house. We are five in the family. I have a younger sister and a brother. They are both pupils. Lucy is in the fifth form and Boris is a pupil of the ninth form. Our family is very united.

In May I finished school No 18 in Bratsk. I always did well at school and learned with great interest. I also took an active part in social life, attended sport sections and subject circles.

My favourite subject at school was Literature. Maths and Physics came easy to me too. I was on the top of the list in our class in these subjects but they were not so interesting to me. I also liked English. I'd like to learn some other European languages to communicate with people from different countries.

This year I've left school. Now I'm a first-year student of the Bratsk State University. I belong to the Faculty of Pedagogics and Psychology.

You see, my biography isn't long. I can only add that I'm fond of reading books on history and I'm keen on sports. I've got the first category in volleyball and have many friends among sportsmen. I also like shaping, it helps me to keep fit.3. Ответьте на вопросы.

15. Прочитайте текст. Запомните различные способы обращения к людям в Великобритании.

There are several ways of addressing people in English. The most universal ones that can be used when speaking to strangers as well as to people you know are:

Mr. -- to a man, Mr. Brown;

Miss -- to an unmarried woman, Miss Brown;

Mrs. -- to a married woman, Mrs. Brown;

Ms. -- to a woman whose marital status is unknown (mostly used in the written, e.g. Ms. Brown).

Mr., Miss, etc. are never to be used without the person's second name.

If you wish to attract somebody's attention (e.g. in the street, in an office, in a shop, etc.) it is nice to say: Excuse me, please...

People who have a scientific degree -- “a PhD, ScD” -- are to be addressed Dr (doctor) Brown, whereas doctors who cure people are simply “Doctors” (no name is necessary). Professors can also be addressed by the title only.

“Sir” and “Madame” are mostly used when speaking to the customers. You'd better use “Officer” -- addressing a policeman, “Your Majesty” addressing a King or a Queen, “Ladies and Gentlemen” addressing a group of people.

In fact people in the English speaking countries prefer calling each other by the first name: Peter, Ann, etc.

FAMILY HISTORY

My father was English, my mother Scottish, and I visited Scotland recently with the desire to discover what I could about my Scottish ancestors. My grandmother's name was Renton. Her husband, my grandfather, spent most of his working life in India. After he died she came back to Scotland and settled down with her sisters in an old house in a village called Gullance. As a small boy I was taken to visit her there.

I knew that my great-grandfather, my grandmother's father, had written a book about his experiences as a young minister in Canada so I went to the National Library in Edinburgh to find out if they had a copy. However, the visit was a disappointment. There were a number of Rentons in the catalogue. But I could find no reference to my great-grandfather's book.

I also knew that after my great-grandfather had returned to Scotland from Canada, he had spent twenty years or more as Minister of the Presbyterian Church at North Berwick and my mother had told me that he had six daughters, five-of whom had never married.

On a beautiful sunny Saturday morning I drove from Edinburgh to North Berwick. I found somewhere to park and asked the way to the church. My mother had told me of the minister's house and the minister's meadow, a small field, where my grandfather kept a few cows, and where my grandmother and her five sisters had played as little girls. But this was seventy years ago.

The street was narrow and busy with Saturday afternoon shoppers. I walked along and suddenly there it was in front of me. St. Andrew's Church. The main doors were locked, so I made my way to the back, found a small door that was open, let myself in and looked round the church. The sunshine flooded through the windows and shone upon the brass memorial plaques on the walls. But I looked in vain for the name Rentons. Then it struck me that Renton was my grandmother's married name. Before chat her name was... was... Sprott. Of course. No wonder 1 hadn't been able to find my great-grandfather's book in the library. I looked again and soon I found a plaque "In memory of the Rev. George Washington Sprott, Minister of this kirk..."

Behind the church, at the top of a small hill, the minister's house still stood and between the house and the church lay the small meadow where my grandmother used to play among the cows. There were no cows there now, but in one corner, standing in the shade of a tree, was a hot, grey, bored-looking donkey.

The following Monday I returned to the National Library in Edinburgh and there I found my great-grandfather's book. Reflections on the life of a Young Minister in Canada, by the Rev. G.W. Sprott. It was dedicated to "My children and their children's children".

2. Прочитайте и переведите текст.

On week-days I usually get up at 7 o'clock. I make my bed, open the window and do my morning exercises. Then I go to the bathroom where I clean my teeth and wash myself. If I have enough time I take a cold and hot shower. It really wakes me up and makes my body feel well. After bathroom I go back to my room where I dress myself and brush my hair. In 10 minutes I am ready for breakfast. It may be a cup of tea or coffee and a sandwich. I never eat cereal or corn flakes, and very seldom I eat scrambled eggs.

After breakfast I put on my coat, take the bag and go to the University. As I live not far from the University it takes me only five or seven minutes to get there. I don't want to be late so I come a few minutes before the lectures begin.

According to our time-table we have lectures and training lessons daily. Each week I go to the library to get ready for the seminars. There I take reference-books, text-books, magazines and newspapers which are advised by the teachers. By going to the library and by reading widely I can easily find the information I need. At our University students have an opportunity to take the information working with the Internet in the computer classes. When my studies are over I go home and have dinner. I usually have something substantial for dinner, for example, cabbage soup for the first course, hot meat or fish with some vegetables for the second. Then I drink a cup of tea or milk. Sometimes when I have to stay at the University I have dinner at the refectory.

After dinner I have a short rest, read newspapers, make some telephone calls, go to the supermarket. Then I do my homework. As a rule I have very little free time on my week-days. But when I have some spare time I do some work about the house: do the shopping and the cleaning.

Eight o'clock is supper time in our family. We all get together in the kitchen, then go to the sitting-room and watch TV, read books or discuss different problems. Then I go for a walk with my dog. Twice a week I go in for playing volley-ball.

At about eleven at night I go to bed. I like the proverb, “Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today”. So I try to do everything in time.

8. Переведите со словарем текст, в котором фотомодель Тина рассказывает о своем рабочем дне.

MY WEEK DAYS

Well, the first thing that I do as soon as I wake up is to go and have a shower. I start with a warm shower and then, just before I get out of the shower, I turn the water onto cold and for a few seconds I have a really cold shower and let the water run over me. It really wakes you up, you know. After that I usually go into my bedroom, open the bedroom window and breathe in some fresh air and sit on the floor and do a few exercises. I think it's really important that you do a few exercises in the morning: it makes your body feel good and keeps the muscles firm. I usually exercise my stomach muscles and my leg muscles. I also exercise my face muscles with my fingers for a few minutes and that keeps the skin of my face very firm, which is, I think, important for a model. Well, now, after I've brushed my hair, done my exercises and had my shower, I go and have my breakfast. Now I really believe that it's important to have a really good breakfast. I don't think you should just have a cup of coffee, like some of the girls do. Well, anyway, I have orange juice every morning ... and often I have an egg and toast. I also like yoghurt and grapefruit. By 10 o'clock I am ready to get dressed and go to work. I usually take a taxi to work. I usually arrive at about 11. I don't usually eat anything for lunch, but sometimes I have a sandwich and a glass of milk. Then I work for about four hours with the photographer and he takes pictures, a lot of pictures. Usually they are the sort of pictures that are used in the weekly magazines, women's weekly magazines. I finish work at about 5, so as you can see I've got quite good hours: I only work from about eleven to five and then it's time to go home. When I get home I make some telephone calls, watch the news on telly, have a bath and change my clothes. Every night I usually go out. I like dancing. I go dancing quite often. I can't cook very well, so I like to eat out as often as I can afford it. I'd say I have a good life really, and I am well paid when you think about the number of hours I work.

My Day Off

Most people in our country work five days a week, but students and pupils work six days. They have only one day off. It is Sunday. I like this day very much. You needn't hurry anywhere, and you may go wherever you like after your week's work. On this day I wake up later than usual. But sometimes I don't get up till 9 or 10 o'clock. I read morning newspapers or listen to the music.

As soon as I get up, I air the room, do my bed and do morning exercises. Then I have breakfast, clear away the dishes and wash up.

Two more hours for getting ready with my homework and I am free. I meet my friends, and we discuss our plans together. We can go to the theatre or cinema, to museums and parks. Last Sunday we went to the Botanical Gardens. There were many spring flowerbeds there: red, yellow and blue. People in light clothes were walking along the paths. The air was fresh and clean. It was pleasant to spend time there.

In fine weather we also like to be out of town. We find a nice place somewhere in the forest or on the bank of the river. We lie in the sun, play different games and swim.

In winter my friends and I often go to the skating-rink: skating is my favorite kind of sport, but I like to ski too. When the weather is bad my friends come to my place.

We listen to the music or go to the cinema. We like films about the life of the youth abroad. On the way home we usually discuss the films we've seen.

In the evening all the members of our family get together. We have our supper, make plans for tomorrow, watch TV or read books. Reading is my hobby. Sometimes we receive guests at our place or go for a walk. I enjoy my day off very much.

I'd like to tell you about Bratsk. Bratsk is a Siberian town on the river Angara. The history of developing the Angara goes back to the 17th century, when in 1631 the Cossacks with Maxim Perfilyev at the head built a small fortress on the right bank of the Angara. The Russian Cossacks called the local Buryat inhabitants “brotherly people” and hence the fortress became known as Bratsk.

Bratsk's new life began in the middle of 1950s. In December 1954 first builders came here to build a new town and Hydro-Power Plant. In 1961 the first generating units of the Plant were put on line and in 1967 the entire Station went into regular commercial service.

Now Bratsk is a modern town. More than 280000 people live here. The pride of inhabitants is the 50th Anniversary of October Hydro-Power Plant. It is the principal place of interest in Bratsk.

Bratsk is one of the industrial centres in Siberia. There are a lot of industrial enterprises here. The largest of them are Bratsk Aluminium Plant and Timber Industry Complex. The output of these enterprises is well known in the world.

Bratsk is also a cultural centre. There are two theatres in Bratsk: professional puppet theatre and drama theatre. There are a lot of cinemas and three big Palaces of Culture. If you are interested in history of Siberia and Bratsk you can visit museums. There is the Bratsk Museum of Regional Studies, Angara Village and the Museum of Labour Achievements.

Inhabitants of Bratsk have all opportunities to have a good rest. There is a great number of libraries, stadiums, swimming pools here. The Angara is also a favorite resting place. There are rest-homes, camps and boarding houses on its shores. Excellent bob-sleigh track in Bratsk is well up to the international standards.

The only trouble of Bratsk people is that Bratsk is among 10 the most polluted towns of Russia. Bratsk people hope that struggle for clean environment is the most important thing in our time.

So it is the short information about Siberian town Bratsk.

3. Where can you see the towers of Fort now?

There is a historical legend associated with the tower in Bratsk Fort. Bratsk Fort, like many other remote parts of Siberia, was a place of banishment. Rumour has it that it was in this tower that one of the most vident schismatics of the 17th century was imprisoned for a while - the indomitable archpriest Avvakum, unfrocked, anathematised, whipped but still a militant fighter for the old belief. The second of the two towers surviving those times was taken to the Kolomenskoye Estate - museum in Moskow.

What did old Baikal do to stop his daughter?

I'd like to tell you a legend about the Angara. According to a legend, old Baikal was brought gifts of water by his 336 sons - large, small and tiny mountain rivers (554 according to new calculations). To counterbalance her brothers Angara, Baikal's the only daughter, carried out into the world between her broad banks Baikal's precious water, which had settled in the Siberian lake for 4 centuries. The Angara is a restive river. The legend of old man Baikal and his wilful daughter Angara tells how Baikal threw the Shaman Stone after his daughter as she was running to her hero Yenisei, but he failed to stop her.
