school in Russia. They want to know how to learn English. Mr Grams: English isn't too difficult. Everybody can learn it. Your English, for example, is very good. Misha: Oh, thanks, Mr Grams. But I started to learn English when I was really young. A lot of my friends think that it's too late to start now. They have only four years left (у них осталось всего 4 года) before they finish school. Mr Grams: It's not too late. Four years is more than enough. If your motivation is good, you'll soon make progress. Misha: What will they have to do then? They don't have enough money for private schools and trips abroad. Mr Grams: They don't have to do those things. But they'll have to work on their English as often as they can. First of all, they should buy a good dictionary, because they will have to read a lot of books. But they shouldn't start with English newspapers or books which may be too difficult for beginners. They should ask their English teacher for adapted versions of English books When they read, they should start a vocabulary notebook and write down all the new words with the translations. It is very important to write down examples of the sentences with the new words too. When you do that, you can remember the place of the word in the sentence, which prepositions or articles go with it, and remember it in context. Misha: Should they watch films in English? Mr Grams: They can try, but they shouldn't get upset if they can't understand anything. They'll have to watch the same film again and again until they understand better. It is also a good idea to get a copy of the same film in Russian. Misha: Is that all? Mr Grams: Oh, no. They should listen to English cassettes and repeat things after the speakers. That will improve their pronunciation and their ability to understand. Misha: But they are always listening to our teacher. Her English is very good. Isn't that enough? Mr Grams: Unfortunately, it isn't. They have to listen to different accents. If they always listen to the same person, they won't be able to understand other people. So if they aren't able to talk to native speakers, they'll have to use the cassettes! Misha: And what about grammar? They learn a lot of grammar rules by heart. Mr Grams: You don't have to do that. Grammar is very important, of course, but they have to use it, not simply learn the rules. However, they should learn texts and songs by heart. Then they will have longer phrases, not only words in their memory. Misha: Thank you very much, Mr Grams. You're my favourite teacher. Mr Grams: That's very kind of you, Misha.

She said that I have got to stay in for a whole week.
Emma: For a whole week! What about going to the cinema tonight?
Helen: That`s out. I`m sorry, Emma. I have got to catch up on all of my maths homework and then my mum is going to test me at the end of the week. If I get all of her questions right, then I`ll be allowed out — but not on school nights.
Emma: But it`s Sarah`s birthday on Tuesday and she is expecting you at her party!
Helen: I will see Sarah at school on Monday and explain everything. She will understand.
Emma: That`s so bad. It was only because of that essay for English that you didn`t do your maths.
Helen: I know, but you try telling that to my mum. She said that there were no excuses and that I have got to study hard now to achieve success in the future.
Emma: Your mum is a tough one. She really makes you work hard. So I suppose I won`t see you until Monday at school then?
Helen: That`s right. But please phone me — I`ll be so bored at home.

is happiness? In many industrialized countries, it is often equated with money. But the small Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan has been trying a different idea. In 1972, concerned about the problems afflicting other developing countries 1____________, Bhutan’s leader, King Jigme Singye Wangchuck, decided to make his nation’s priority its GNH, or Gross National Happiness. Bhutan, the King said, needed to ensure that prosperity was shared across society and that it was balanced against preserving cultural traditions, protecting the environment and maintaining a responsive government. The King instituted policies 2____________. Now, Bhutan’s example is serving as a catalyst for broader discussions of national well-being. A growing number of economics, social scientists, corporate leaders and bureaucrats around the world are trying to develop systems 3 __________ but also access to health care, time with family, conservation of natural resources and other non-economic factors. The goal is partly to obtain a broader definition of the world happiness. “We have to think of human well-being in broader terms,” said Bhutan’s Home Minister. “Material well-being is only one component. That doesn’t ensure that you’re at peace with your environment 4 ____________. In the early stages of a climb out of poverty, for a household or a country, incomes and contentment grow together. But various studies show that beyond certain points, 5 ___________, happiness does not keep up. And some countries, studies found, were happier than they should be. One study found that Latin American countries, for example, registered far more subjective happiness than their economic status would suggest. But researches have had great difficulty in developing measuring techniques 6 ____________. And some experts question whether national well-being can really be defined. Just the act of trying to quantify happiness could destroy it, said one expert. “The most important things in life are not prone to measurement – like love. A. aimed at accomplishing these goals B. that can capture this broader sense of well-being C. and in harmony with each other D. whose focus was only on economic growth E. but there is not necessarily a relationship between wealth and happiness F. as annual income passes certain levels G. that measure not just the flow of money 1 2 3 4 5 6 помогите пожалуйста!!!! очень срочно нужно

Mother's advice!

Harry came to his mother one morning and said to her, 'No one at my school likes me, Mother. The teacher's don't, and the children don't. Even the cleaners and the bus drivers hate me". "Well, Harry," his mother answered. "It is such sad news. Perhaps you aren't very nice to them. If a few people don't like a person it may not be his fault; but if a lot of people don't, there is usually something wrong with such a person and he really needs to change. 'That's good advice, Mother,' Harry said. 'But I'm too old to change. I don't want to go to school.' "Don't be so silly, Harry," his mother said. "You have to go. You have things to learn. And besides that, you're the headmaster of the school.'
