Diary of Camp Pineland 3 June London

Do you ever get the feeling that your life is just about to begin? I'm feeling like that right now as my younger brother Dima and I are standing in London's Heathrow International ' Airport. Dima and I are spending the summer at an American summer camp. Yes, that's right. London is just a stopover in our trip. It's also the meeting point for some campers who are flying to the USA from Europe.
At the moment we are waiting for our counsellor. He or she is going to come and take us to our plane to California. We are here sitting at the meeting point, wearing the T-shirts we have received from the camp so that the counsellor can recognize us easily.
The idea for our great trip started with a film I saw about a summer camp in America one winter evening. That's when I got the dream to go to one of those camps. Normally I do the same things every summer: I spend June with my granny in Saratov, then in July my parents and I go to Turkey and in August I get a lot of time to go out with my friends and get ready for the next school year. If you say, "That's not so bad," I'll tell you, "It's boring." It took me two years to make my dream happen — I found the camp, talked to my parents, saved up and then found out that I still didn't have enough money. Then I talked to my parents again. Finally, Dad offered to pay for most of the trip on condition that Dima could come with me! Dima is fourteen and this year our parents had nothing but trouble with him. He got involved with some bad kids at school, so no wonder Mum and Dad wanted to send him as far away from home as possible. Call me a bad sister, but I wasn't excited. I didn't want to spend this summer babysitting my bro, but that was the deal with Dad, so I had to live with it.
After all, it was going to be my perfect summer anyway, so I knew nothing could spoil it.

When we arrived in London two days ago, I was ready for my big adventure. I wanted to visit new places, improve my English and make new friends. Our mother's old friend works in London, so she gave us the opportunity to see this great city. We enjoyed every minute and didn't feel homesick at all. After all, London is only about a four-hour flight from Moscow. It's round the corner in comparison to California. But now as we are waiting in Heathrow, I'm starting to ask myself some scary questions. Will I be able to understand American English? What if I don't make any new friends? Will there be any wild animals in the woods around our camp? What if our counsellor doesn't turn up today?

Dima: Are you OK, Lisa? You're not acting like yourself.
Lisa: I know. I'm nervous. Where is our counsellor? Dima: Just relax. Somebody will come soon. Do you want to read my magazine? It's cool. Lisa: Thanks, little bro. I'm fine. I'm reading a very interesting book in English, but I just can't concentrate right now. Do you see those guys over there? They're wearing the camp T-shirts too. Dima: Yeah, I see them. And they are looking for somebody also. Oh, look! They are coming over here now. First boy: Excuse me, are you waiting for us? We are catching a flight to San Francisco.
Lisa: So are we. But we are waiting for our counsellor. By the way, my name is Lisa Korolyova. And this is my brother Dima. We are from Russia.

First boy: Pleased to meet you. I'm David Hunt.
I'm not your counsellor, I'm a camper just like you, but I'm responsible for taking you to California. And this is my friend Charlie Rose. Charlie: Hi, guys. Nice to meet you. Dima and Lisa: Nice to meet you too.

People in countries outside the
British Isles often call the inhabitants ' of the United Kingdom
English. This is incorrect, for there are at least four main
nationalities, the English, the Scots, the Welsh and the Irish. These
four nationalities each have their own language and culture.


The population of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is almost fifty-six
million. A little more than seven million people live in the London
area. Britain is mainly an industrial country, and most of the people
live in large towns. The lands which produce nothing, especially the
hilly country in Northern Scotland, have almost no population.

Great Britain is highly
industrialized, this was the country in which the earliest
developments of modern industry took place.

London, the capital, is one of many
important industrial centers. Lots of things such as clothes, food,
planes and cars are made in and around London.

Birmingham is the biggest town
in an important industrial area near the centre of England. Machines,
cars and lorries are made in this area. TV sets and radios are also
produced there.

Manchester in the north-west of
England is the centre of the cotton textile industry, one of
Britain's most important producers of computers and electronic
equipment.


Coal-mining is important in
South Wales, but many of the mines5 there have been closed. There is
much unemployment in South Wales today. A smaller industrial area is
situated in North Wales, where steel6 and chemicals are produced.



Ship-building is an important
industry in the United Kingdom. The main ship-building centers are
London, Glasgow in Scotland, Belfast in Northern Ireland and some
others.



Sheep can be seen in many parts
of England and Scotland, and there are a lot of cattle-farms and
farms where milk, butter and cheese are produced. But only half of
the food the country needs is produced by British agriculture.



Wheat is grown in the east of
England. Vegetables are grown in all parts of England, especially in
the south. Potatoes are grown everywhere on the British Isles.



Some kinds of fruit, especially
apples, can grow in the south where the temperature is higher and
there are more hours of sunshine than in the northern regions.

money?”

“How did you learn to type so fast?”

“She’s a lawyer and she doesn’t want money?”

“So how did you become a secretary?”

"Where did you meet Reggie?"

"You have to go to law school to be a secretary in a law office?"

“How’s the money?”

“Where does Momma Love live?”

At eleven, Mark sat down at Clint's desk and looked at the dictating machine. Reggie had a client and they needed to plan strategy for an hour. Clint typed on long paper and took the phone every five minutes.

Mark got bored asked, "How did you become a secretary?" Clint turned and smiled at him. "It was an accident." 1)________________________________?

"No. I wanted to build swimming pools." "What happened?" "I don't know. I almost failed my exams school, then went to college, then went to law school." 2)______________________________________?

"No. I failed the exams in law school, and Reggie gave me a job. It's fun, most of the time."

3)______________________?

"It's a long story. We were friends in law school. We've been friends for a long time. She'll probably tell you about it when you meet Momma Love, Reggie's mother. They live together, and she loves to cook for the kids Reggie represents. She makes all kinds of delicious Italian food. Everyone loves it. Reggie takes most of her clients home, especially the younger ones."

The phone rang. Clint took the message and returned to his typewriter. Mark watched carefully.

4)_________________________________ ?

The typing stopped, and he slowly turned and looked at Mark. He smiled, and said,”In high school. I had this teacher who was like a sergeant. We hated her, but she made us learn. Can you type?”

“A little. I’ve had three years of computer at school.”

Clint pointed to his Apple next to the typewriter. “We’ve got all sorts of computers around here.” Mar looked at it, but was not impressed. Everybody had computers.

5)_________________________?

“It wasn’t planned. When Reggie finished law school, she didn’t want to work for anybody, so she opened this office. It was about four years ago. She needed a secretary, and I volunteered. Have you seen a male secretary before?”

“No. Didn’t know men could be secretaries. 6)________________________________?”

Clint laughed at this. “It’s okay. If Reggie has a good month, then I have a good month. We’re like partners.”

7)_______________________?

“Not really. She doesn’t want a lot of money. A few years ago she was married to a doctor, and they had a big house and lots of money. Everything was lost, and she blames the money for most of it. She’ll probably tell you about it. She’s very honest about her life.”

8)________________?

“Unusual, isn’t it?”

“I’ll say. I mean, I’ve seen a lot of lawyer shows on television, and all they do is talk about money.”

There are four meals a day in an English home: breakfast, lunch, tea, and dinner.
Breakfast is the first meal of the day. It is at about 8 o'clock in the morning, and consists of porridge with milk and salt or sugar, eggs — boiled or fried, bread and butter with marmalade or jam. Some people like to drink tea, but others prefer coffee. Instead of porridge they may have fruit juice, or they may prefer biscuits.
The usual time for lunch is 1 o'clock. This meal starts with soup or fruit juice. Then follows some meat or poultry with potatoes — boiled or fried, carrots and beans. Then a pudding comes.Instead of the pudding they may prefer cheese and biscuits. Last of all coffee — black or white.Englishmen often drink something at lunch. Water is usually on the table. Some prefer juice or lemonade.
Tea is the third meal of the day. It is between 4 or 5 o'clock, the so-called 5 o'clock tea. On the table there is tea, milk or cream, sugar, bread and butter, cakes and jam. Friends and visitors are often present at tea.
Dinner is the fourth meal of the day. The usual time is about 7 o'clock, and all the members of the family sit down together.
Dinner usually consists of soup, fish or meat with vegetables — potatoes, green beans, carrot and cabbage, sweet pudding, fruit salad, ice-cream or cheese and biscuits. Then after a talk they have black or white coffee.
This is the order of meals among English families, But the greater part of the people in the towns, and nearly all country-people, have dinner in the middle of the day instead of lunch. They have tea a little later — between 5 and 6 o'clock, and then in the evening, before going to bed, they have supper.
So the four meals of the day are either breakfast, dinner, tea, supper; or breakfast, lunch, tea, dinner.
