excwrsiorts or guided coach tours. Some people however do not like organised
travelling and prefer to go on their own. Today there are many types of
package holidays and lots of different destinations. More British p"opi" are tak- ing holidays abroad now than in the 1990s. A traditional holiday abroad is spent at a seaside resort and many British people prefer to go on holidays to warmer countries.

too.

is a relaxing holiday, and the second is an "activity" holiday, such as climb- ing or winter sports somewhere in Austria or Switzerland. If you ask British holidaymakers

weather, various tourists attractions and wonderful resorts as the main reasons.

На данный момент единого мнения о том, каковы предпосылки распада СССР не существует. Однако, большинство ученых едины в том, что зачатки их были заложены в самой идеологии большевиков, которые, пусть и во многом формально, признавали право наций на самоопределение. Ослабление центральной власти спровоцировало формирование новых властных центрах на окраинах государства. Стоит отметить, что похожие процессы происходили и в самом начале 20 века, в период, революций и краха Российской империи.
Если говорить кратко причины распада СССР следующие:
кризис, спровоцированный плановым характером экономики и приведший к дефициту многих товаров народного потребления;
неудачные, во многом непродуманные, реформы, приведшие к резкому ухудшению уровня жизни;
массовое недовольство населения перебоям поставок продуктов питания;
все усиливающийся разрыв уровня жизни между гражданами СССР и гражданами стран капиталистического лагеря;
обострение национальных противоречий;
ослабление центральной власти;
авторитарный характер советского общества, в том числе жесткая цензура, запрет церкви и так далее.
Вот последствия распада СССР:
• резкое сокращение производства во всех странах бывшего СССР и падение уровня жизни населения;
• территория России сократилась на четверть;
• доступ к морским портам вновь осложнился;
• уменьшилось население России – фактически на половину;
• возникновение многочисленных национальных конфликтов и появление территориальных претензий между бывшими республиками СССР;
• началась глобализация – постепенно набирали ход процессы, превратившие мир в единую политическую, информационную, экономическую систему;
• мир стал однополярным, а единственной сверхдержавой остались Соединенные Штаты.

At the moment, there is no consensus on what the preconditions for the collapse of the USSR do not exist. However, most scholars are united in the fact that their beginnings were laid in the very ideology of the Bolsheviks, which, albeit in many respects formally, recognized the right of nations to self-determination. The weakening of central power has provoked the formation of new power centers on the outskirts of the state. It is worth noting that similar processes occurred in the very beginning of the 20th century, in the period of revolutions and the collapse of the Russian Empire.
In short, the causes of the collapse of the USSR are as follows:
a crisis provoked by the planned nature of the economy and leading to a shortage of many consumer goods; unsuccessful, in many respects unreasoned, reforms, which led to a sharp deterioration in the standard of living; massive discontent of the population with interruptions in food supplies; an ever-widening gap in the standard of living between citizens of the USSR and citizens of the countries of the capitalist camp; aggravation of national contradictions; weakening of central authority; the authoritarian nature of Soviet society, including strict censorship, the prohibition of the church and so on.Here are the consequences of the collapse of the USSR:
• a sharp decline in production in all countries of the former USSR and a drop in the standard of living of the population;
• the territory of Russia decreased by a quarter;
• Access to seaports has once again become more difficult;
• the population of Russia has decreased - in fact, by half;
• the emergence of numerous national conflicts and the emergence of territorial claims between the former Soviet republics;
• Globalization has begun - processes that transformed the world into a single political, information, and economic system were gradually gaining momentum;
• The world became unipolar, and the only superpower was the United States.

Look at the musical map of Britain. In Scotland that is in the north of Britain the national instrument is the bagpipe which is the most exciting to the Scots though some people outside Britain think it is tuneless. But for centuries, up to the First World War, Scottish pipers encouraged their soldiers by playing their music at battles. Here is Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. The Edinburgh festival is an annual festival of music and drama, it is held every summer.
Welsh romantic and sentimental bards were known even to the ancient world. They still meet every year at the Eisteddfod. And in Wales you can find the best choirs and the best choral music.
The north of England is sometimes called “the land of the brass bands”. Many people who don’t understand complicated music like their catchy tunes.
Aldeburgh is a small town in the south of England where the famous British composer, conductor and pianist Benjamin Britten lived.
London is famous for its opera houses and concert halls where famous musicians conduct the best symphony orchestras. In London Henry Purcell, a great British composer, lived.

Higher education plays an important part in the life of any country as it provides the country with highly-qualified specialists for future development and progress. It trains people to become teachers, engineers, doctors and other professional workers.
In all the industrial countries standards of living are steadily changing; this means that the kind of education, which was good enough thirty years ago, is not necessarily good for them today. The serious need to find ways and means of ensuring continuous and thorough adoption of the universities to contemporary needs in our rapidly changing world is widely recognized. And this means that styles of teaching, quality of learning materials and organization of the university itself have to be continuously brought up to date and improved.
Besides, knowledge and information which comes through the mass media must also be taken into consideration. This information explosion has affected every field of study, especially, of course, in the natural and applied sciences and in all other sciences as well. The increase of information requires new methods and new approaches to students’ training and instruction.
At present a new system of education is introduced in this country — a distance education system. This computer system of learning helps working professionals to continue their education while remaining at their jobs. This system enables people to get knowledge and a good foundation in the sciences basic to his or her field of study. Distance learning has developed over years5 from satellite video courses to modern videoconferencing through personal computers.
The academic year usually lasts 9 months and is divided into two terms (semesters). The first- and second-year students obtain thorough instructions in the fundamental sciences of mathematics, physics, chemistry and drawing as well as computer engineering and a number of others. The curricula are enriched and broadened6 by instructions in such subjects as foreign languages, history and economics.
At the third year students get more advanced knowledge and begin to concentrate on their special interests, so to say, their «major» subject and take many courses in this subject. Specialized study and courses will help students to become specialists and prepare them for their future work.
After four years students will get a bachelor’s degree. Then the students may go on with their studies and in a year or two of further study and research get a master’s degree. After graduating from the university they may go on with their study and research and may get a still higher degree.
About 75 percent of students receive state grants and 15 percent are sponsored by enterprises. Universities have their own students’ hostels and some of them have large and excellent sport centers.
Education is a process through which culture is preserved, knowledge and skills are developed, values are formed, and information is exchanged.
Education is the way to success.

Christopher was born in
1451 in Italy but he lived
in Spain for many years. Columbus was a seaman and made a
lot of sea voyages. In those days people in Europe were much
interested in India and other countries which were situated in
Asia because ships sailed east to Asia and brought gold and
other riches from those places. A lot of seamen sailed east
and came back rich people.
Like many people of his time Columbus knew that our planet
is round. He was sure he could also get to India if he sailed
west.
In 1492 the King and Queen of Spain gave Columbus money
and ships to make a voyage to India. So with three small
ships Columbus and his men sailed west. They sailed for three
weeks and then on October 12, they saw an island. It was
situated in Central America. But Columbus didn’t know that
then. He thought he was in Asia and gave the people he met
on the island the name of Indians. Altogether1
Columbus made
four voyages to America
before he died in 1506.
People began to speak
about the new land as “the
New World” saying that
Columbus’s disco very was
one of the most important
things in history. Many
people know these words:
“In fourteen hundred and
ninety two Columbus sailed
the ocean blue.”

Он был первым человеком из
Европа, чтобы туда добраться.
Кристофер родился в
1451 в Италии, но он жил
в Испании в течение многих лет. Колумб был моряком и сделал
много морских путешествий. В те времена люди в Европе были очень
заинтересованные в Индии и других странах, которые находились в
Азии, потому что корабли отплыли на восток в Азию и принесли золото и
другие богатства из этих мест. Многие моряки отплыли на восток
и вернулись богатые люди.
Как и многие люди своего времени, Колумбус знал, что наша планета
круглая. Он был уверен, что он может также добраться до Индии, если он плывет
запад.
В 1492 году король и королева Испании дали деньги Колумба
и корабли, чтобы совершить плавание в Индию. Таким образом, с тремя небольшими
корабли Колумбус и его люди отплыли на запад. Они отплыли на три
недель, а затем 12 октября они увидели остров. Это было
расположенный в Центральной Америке. Но Колумб не знал, что
тогда. Он думал, что он в Азии и дал людям, которых он встретил
на острове имя индейцев. Altogether1
Колумб сделал
четыре рейса в Америку
прежде чем он умер в 1506 году.
Люди начали говорить
о новой земле как о
Новый мир ", заявив, что
Дискотека Колумба была очень
один из наиболее важных
вещи в истории. Многие
люди знают эти слова:
«В четырнадцати сотнях
Девяносто два Колумбуса отплыли
синий океан. "

The weather is so changeable indeed that the English often say that they have no climate but only weather. The English also say that they have three kinds of weather: when it rains in the morning, when it rains in the afternoon or when it rains all day long. The weather is never too hot or too cold. Winters are very mild. Sometimes it snows and snow melts quickly and the English seldom have “white Christmas”. In fact in the South of England grass remains green all the year round. This humid mild climate is good for plants. The trees and flowers begin to blossom early in spring. Some of them have become symbols in the UK. You may know that poppy is the symbol of peace, the red rose is the national emblem of England, the thistle is the national emblem of Scotland. The daffodils and the leek are the emblems of Wales and the shamrock is the emblem of Ireland. The UK used to be a land of big forests, mainly oaks, elms and beeches in England, while Scotland had mainly pines and birches. But nowadays a lot of these territories are cultivated. The animal life of the UK is much like that of Europe, to which it was once joined. Many animals are now protected by law. About 50 land animals are found in the UK: foxes, hares, rabbits, and deer among them. Some 230 kinds of birds live in the UK. The most numerous are blackbirds, sparrows and starlings. Robin is the national bird of the UK. But wildlife in Britain is in great danger, because of pollution. Many British rivers have become “biologically” dead. There is no fish in them and wildlife around them is not growing the way it should.

A group of students came up with the idea of making a school club to help save the environment. Tanya Brunton, Alicia Morton, Gina Montgomery, Clive Forsyth, Jim O’Sullivan and Carl Johnson created the Nature Madness Club and won the award for the best student work.
At first their club only had 30 members, but word soon got around that Nature Madness was fun and less than a month later they had over 300 students. Now, they are thinking of asking for the help of students from other schools.
Nature Madness members took part in lots of after-school activities. They took classes to find out about pollution, recycling and conservation. The whole team helped to make the classes more interesting by using pictures and videos and so on. After that, the members organised different events and activities such as recycling or clean-up days, planting trees, and helping stray animals.
The mayor gave each student a gold medal for their good work. Their teacher, Barbara Mac Alpine, said at the ceremony, "I’m very proud of my students. They show that you don’t have to wait until you’re grown up to do important things."
