He was born in Russia but now lives in America with his father, Vadim. They live in a one-room flat in Brooklyn. Ivan doesn't go to school and his father doesn't have a job. They practise chess problems all day, every day, morning, afternoon, and evening. Ivan was different from a very young age: he could ride a bike when he was eighteen months old and read before he was two. He could play cards at three and the piano at four. When he was twelve, he was the under-20 chess champion of Russia. His father can't speak English and can't play chess, either! Ivan translates for him. Vadim says, “I know that I can't play chess, but I can still help Ivan. He and I don't have any friends – we don't want any friends. Other teenagers are boring! We don't like playing sports or watching TV. We live for chess!”

WEATHER AND CLIMATE Where can you go for a holiday? You have a lot of opportunities. Of course, most people would like to go to the south or to the seaside, but you must consider the weather and the season. You may want to go to Siberia, for example. The nature is wonderful there. You will never see such a lot of sparkling white snow. You will enjoy frosty fresh air if you go skiing or bear-hunting, but you should remember that it's very cold there in winter. The temperature may be about 50 degrees below zero. Some people prefer to spend their holidays in warmer places. There is no warmer place than Africa. It's warm there all the year round. The sun shines every day, but in summer it's too hot and sometimes it's humid there. And you won't be able to go lion-hunting until the sun sets. But when it starts raining, it may rain the whole week, if you want to get sunburnt it's the best place. You can get as sunburnt as the natives. Anyway choosing a place for your holiday you must consider the weather forecast.
UNIT 4. WORKING DAY

MY WORKING DAY I usually get up at half past six. I open the window, make my bed and do my morning exercises. Then I wash, clean my teeth and dress. In half an hour I'm ready for breakfast. I go into the kitchen and have breakfast. After breakfast I put on my hat and coat, take my bag and go to the Institute of Economics, Management and Law. I go there by bus. It takes me 25 (twenty-five) minutes to get to the institute. Classes begin at eight o'clock. We usually have six or eight classes every day. After the lessons I go home, have dinner and have a short rest. In the evening I do my homework. Sometimes I go to the cinema or visit my friends in the evening. At 7 o'clock I have supper. After supper our family get together in the living room where we talk, read newspapers and books and watch TV. At eleven o'clock I go to bed.

Then she had breakfast. Anna likes to go to work by bus; it takes her twenty-five minutes to get to work by bus. When she got off the bus she walked to her office. She got there at a quarter to nine. Fifteen minutes later one of the office girls opened the main door. The first customer arrived. The day's work began. Anna likes to take things easy, but Susan is always in a hurry, sometimes late and often absent-minded. Classes at the business college usually start at nine fifteen, except on Fridays when the first class begins at ten. Michael, her brother, usually bangs on her bedroom door at eight o'clock. He did so that morning. "All right," said Susan, but she just turned over and went to sleep again. At half past eight Michael went upstairs and banged on his sister's door again. Susan jumped out of bed, washed herself quickly and ran back to her room. She ran downstairs to the kitchen, but looked at her watch and understood that she didn't have time for breakfast. "Bye, mother," she said and ran out. Mrs. Bond did the washing up. She had ten minutes before she had to leave for work. She sat down and smoked a cigarette. Suddenly the house seemed very lonely. She was glad that she had a job. Not because she needed money but she did not want to be alone all day in her house.

MY DAY OFF I usually study 6 days a week. When my lessons are over, I'm very tired and I hurry home. I help my mother about the house. But when the weekend comes I try to enjoy it as much as I can. I'm fond of music and I listen to the songs of Russian and foreign composers. So when I have an opportunity I go to S. Sadykova's concert hall or to any other cultural palaces. There are often concerts, ballets, musical comedies, performances there on. I'm lucky because I've got a ticket for the Saturday concert. Oleg Gazmanov and the group "Lyube" will come to our town. I am sure I'll enjoy the music and the singing very well. On Sunday I am going to the picture gallery. There is an exhibition of famous Russian paintings there. So from Saturday afternoon till Monday morning students are usually free. We may go for a walk with our friends, go to the cinema, theatre or disco. If we stay at home we try to have a good time, too. We watch TV, read books and work on a computer. My parents like to relax after a hard week, too. They like to go out on Saturdays.

THE WEEKEND Many people in Britain work five days a week, from Monday to Friday. So, from Friday evening till Monday morning people are usually free. When Friday comes English people know where and how they are going to spend the weekend. Very many people plan to go away for the weekend. If young people are away from home they may go home to stay with their relatives or friends in different parts of the country. Some people go to the seaside and stay at a hotel there. Some people like to travel by plane or by train, but many families go to the seaside by car, as it is very comfortable and rather cheap. 4. Переведите текст со словарем:
PLANS FOR THE WEEKEND My days off are Saturday and Sunday. I never know how to spend them. On Friday night when I go to bed I think that I will get up very early on Saturday and I will have enough time to do a lot of things that I did not do during the week. I also plan that on Saturday I will have a good rest. But Saturday comes and all my plans change. I usually set my alarm clock for 8 o'clock, I did so last Saturday too, but I never hear it. I think it did not work. When I got up it was about 11, it took me an hour to cook breakfast. After breakfast I decided to go shopping because I looked into the refrigerator and saw that I had no food for the next week. I came back home only in the evening because Saturday was not the most convenient day for shopping. I forgot about it. Late in the evening I went washing and cleaning, and watched some TV programmes. I went to bed at 1o'clock. But before I fell asleep I made plans for Sunday. "I will have the whole day to myself tomorrow'' I thought.
UNIT 6. TRAVELLING Vocabulary
TRAVELLING I like to travel. First of all, the members of our family usually have long walks in the country. Such walks are called hikes. If we want to see country-side, we have to spend a part of our summer holidays on hikes. It is useful for all members of our family. We take our rucksacks, we don’t hurry up and we walk a lot. During such hike we see a lot of interesting places, sometimes we meet interesting people. I like to travel by car. It is interesting too, because you can see many things in a short time. When we go by car, we don’t take tickets too, we put all things we need in a car. We don’t carry them. It is comfortable to travel by train and by plane. When I travel by plane, I don’t spend a lot of time going from one place to another. But it is difficult to buy tickets for the plane. That’s why we take our tickets beforehand. I like to fly. If I travel by train or by plane my friends see me off at the railway station or in the airport. Sometimes we go to the seaside for a few days. As usual the weather is fine. It is warm, we can swim. It is a pleasure to watch white ships. I think that travelling is a very useful thing for us and I enjoy all kinds of travelling very much.
TRAVELLING BY SEA Almost all the people like to travel. When you have got holidays you can travel by car, by train, by plane and by sea. I like to travel by sea best of all. Some years ago we took a cruise along the Black Sea coast, from Sochi to Sukhumi on board the liner “Russia”. We came to Sochi by train. Then we went to the seaport and saw our ship. It was big. We liked it very much. I remember the ship and our cabin. Our cabin was comfortable. It had got two berths, a table, two chairs and one wide window, and the warm wind was blowing through it. There was fresh air in our cabin during all the voyage. We had breakfast, dinner and supper on board the ship. When it was time to have meals we went to the restaurant. The weather was fine. After breakfast we spent a lot of time on the deck sitting in deck-chairs or standing at the rail, watching the ships, passing not far from our ship. It was pleasant to watch the waves too. I remember the sunrise and the sunset well. It was unforgettable. In the afternoon I took a sunshade because the sun was shining brightly. It was hot in the sunshine. In the daytime we liked to watch the sea-scape. At four o'clock we entered the port of Adler. There were some ships there. We saw many people on the pier. We had some free time in Adler and we went for a walk while the ship was in the port. The water was clean and it was easy to swim in the sea. I like the Caucasus and that's why I was pleased. At 4 o'clock we came back. The liner was going to sail off. In the evening we watched TV, danced or stayed on the deck when the weather was fine. I enjoyed my trip to the South. This voyage impressed me for all my life.

MEALS IN AN ENGLISH FAMILY The usual meals in England are: breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner, or in simpler houses, breakfast, dinner, tea and supper. In England mealtimes are as follows: breakfast time is between 7 and 9 a.m., lunch time is between 12 and 2 p.m., dinner is between 7 and 10 p.m. Breakfast is generally the bigger meal than you have on the Continent. Usual breakfast is porridge, bacon and eggs, marmalade with buttered toast and tea or coffee. For a change they can have a boiled egg, cold ham or perhaps fish. Breakfast is often a quick meal, because the father of the family has to get away to his work, children have to go to school, and the mother has her housework to do. Englishmen generally have lunch at one o'clock p. m. The businessmen usually find it impossible to come for lunch and so they go to a café or a restaurant where they usually find a mutton chop, or cold meat, or fish with potatoes, salad, then a pudding or fruit to follow. Some people like a glass of beer for lunch. People often come in for a chat with their cup of tea. Some English families like to have the so called “high tea” which is quite a substantial meal. They have it between 5 and 6 o'clock. It usually consists of ham or tongue, tomatoes, salad or sausage with strong tea, bread and butter, then stewed fruit, or apricots with cream or a cake. The main meal of the day is called dinner. Dinner is eaten either in the middle of the day or in the evening. The midday meal usually consists of two courses – meat course with a lot of vegetables and a soup.

A BAD COOK I'm a terrible cook. I've tried hard but it's no use. I've got lots of cookery books, I choose a dish I want to cook, I read the recipe, I prepare all the necessary ingredients and follow the instructions. But the result is terrible, and I just have a sandwich or some other quick snack. So I often eat out. I don't like grand restaurants. It 's not the expense, it's just that I don't feel at ease in them. First the water gives me a menu which I can't understand because it's complicated and has lots of foreign words. At the end of the meal when I pay the bill I never know how much to leave as a tip. I prefer fast food places, like hamburger shops where you pay at once and sit down and eat straightaway. And I like take-away places, where you buy a meal in a special container and take it home.
MAUREEN'S DINNER PARTY Maureen often gives dinner parties at home. She loves entertaining. She lays the table: puts the cutlery in the right places, sets out the plates and puts a clean white napkin at each place. For the meal itself, she usually gives her guests some kind of starter first, for example, soup or melon. Next comes the main course which is usually meat (unless some of her guests are vegetarians or they're on a special diet) with a side-dish of salad. For dessert it's usually fruit or ice-cream and then coffee. When everyone has gone home, she must think about doing the washing up, as in the kitchen the sink is full of dirty cutlery.
