My Family

I was born on the fifth of March in 1987 in the town of Makiyivka. My name is Ann. My family consists of 4 members: my father, mother, my elder sister and me. As you see it is not large. We love each other very much. We are friendly and sociable.

My father is a businessman. He is 45. My mother is a good-looking woman of 42. She works at school, she is a teacher.

My sister is a pretty girl of 18. Her name is Lena. This year she has finished school and entered the Institute, the Department of Sociology. She is going to be a sociologist. As far as I know this profession is rather new, but to my mind it is very interesting. It seems to me sociology is the way of understanding the world, that’s why I decided to be a sociologist as my sister did. I believe this occupation is of vital importance and I’ll be able to help a lot of people.

When my sister has some spare time, she tells me about the students’ life, exams and credit-tests, about difficulties and problems on the way to her career development.

My mother is good at cooking. On Saturdays we invite our friends or relatives to enjoy tasty things and a pleasant talk.

My grandparents are pensioners. They live not far away. We visit them very often; help them with their house-keeping.

In the evening after the working day we usually gather in the sitting-room, watch TV and discuss our problems.

My Working Day

Usually my working day begins at 7 a.m. when the alarm-clock wakes me up. I do my morning exercises, take a shower and have breakfast. I am not an early riser that is why I can’t do many things in the morning. I only drink a cup of coffee and eat a little sandwich. After light breakfast I go to the Institute.

My Institute is not far away and I go there on foot if I am not short of time. It takes me 20 minutes to get to the Institute on foot. But when I am in a hurry I go by bus, though it is rather tiresome in rush hours.

I am a student of the Department of Sociology. My future occupation is a sociologist. Our teachers always say the speciality of a sociologist is rather new and interesting because we can relieve the burden of people, can help them to solve their problems. I understand the difficulties of this profession. But with the help of our teachers we realize that our future speciality is really necessary.

Our lessons begin at 8 o’clock in the morning and finish at about 3 p.m. After the lessons I feel hungry and go to the cafeteria to have a bite. Then I go to the library to get the necessary books and do my homework.

Then I go home. Being tired, I have a little rest, lying on the sofa or listening to music. In the evening I go on working. Late at night, at about 11 p.m., I go to bed.

I am a member of our amateur theatre and the students’ sociological club. That’s why twice a week I stay at the Institute longer.

I take part in the sittings of our club. We make reports on social problems of our society; discuss vital questions of the social development of our country.

Seasons and Weather

Pre-reading activity.

Seasons

Students of the Department of Sociology often work with a questionnaire. They know how to draft questions, how to frame questions, what for and how to carry out piloting. The beginners in sociology have interviewed many people and determined that some of responders like winter, some of them prefer autumn. But the majority thinks that spring is the best season in a year.

The four seasons of the year are: spring, summer, autumn and winter. Each season lasts three months. Winter begins in December and ends in March. We usually have many cold days in winter and it often snows. The rivers and lakes are frozen, and when the ice gets thick enough the children can go skating.

When spring comes, the days get warmer. The sun shines brightly in the blue sky. The snow melts quickly and turns into water. Grass grows in the meadows. The birds return from the hot countries and make their nests in the green woods.

In summer the days are very hot as a rule. School is over in June and most of the children go to the rest camps. Many people have their holidays in summer. They go to some place in the country or near the sea.

In summer we often have thunderstorms. We hear the thunder and see flashes of lightning. The wind begins to blow hard and the clouds approach quickly. It rains hard for a while. And soon the sun comes out again.

In autumn it gets dark. The weather is often unpleasant. It drizzles and it’s foggy. The leaves on the trees turn red and yellow, it often rains.

I think that every season has its own charm.

 

-5-

We enjoy spring days full of rays and warmth, when we smell green grass and the first flowers.

Summer makes us relax lying in the sun.

Autumn gives us piles of fruit and vegetables. We cannot help admiring luxuriant gold and red colours of this season.

Winter brings much joy, snowflakes, skating and skiing.

Environmental Protection

Pre-reading activity.

Energy.

-58-

At the moment, 94% of the world’s energy comes from fossil fuels. There’s enough coal for the next 300 years, but only enough gas and oil for next 50. What happens then? One answer is nuclear energy. But after Chernobyl disaster in 1986, many people think nuclear power isn’t safe.

Wildlife.

Animals are part of the environment too. Millions of them are killed or treated cruelly by man every year. These can be divided into five main groups:

 

animals used for scientific research (example: rabbits)

• animals killed for sport (example: foxes)

• animals killed for their fur or skin (example: squirrels or crocodiles)

• animals in danger because their habitats are in danger (example: monkeys)

• animals kept in cruel conditions on farm (example: some kinds of chickens and cows)

Rainforests

Before 1900 rainforests covered 14% of the word’s surface. Today they cover 7%. The reason for this is simple. They have been cut down to provide a) land; b) paper; c) wood; d) medicines; e) minerals; f) fuel. But it is not only trees which are disappearing. Every rainforest also contains millions of animals, insects and flowers. These are destroyed too. If man continues to cut down rainforests, more than one million species of plants and animals will become extinct by the year 2030.

Acid Rain

One of Europe and North America’s most serious pollution problems is acid rain. Factories send gases and chemicals into the air. There they mix with water molecules and are carried for hundreds of miles by the wind. Finally, they fall

back to earth when it rains. This acid rain kills fish and trees. It slowly destroys buildings too.

Green Solution a)

-59-

Groups like “Greenpeace” have already helped stop whale hunting. Now they want to stop fur-hunting too. Like many other organizations, they believe in animal rights. Their solution to all problems of wildlife cruelty is simple. Animals shouldn’t suffer. The cruelty must stop.

Green Solution b)

Industrial countries should control their levels of pollution. This is already happening in some parts of Europe. Several countries have cut their acid rain pollution by 30%.

Green Solution c)

There are four Green Solutions. They all use natural energy already in the environment: a) wind energy; b) solar energy; c) wave energy (from the sea); geothermal energy (from hot rocks under the Earth).

Green Solution d)

Governments in rainforest countries need to plan and work together. They should also protect certain areas and new forests.
