Misha: Do you have magical holidays, Robin? Can you tell me about them?
Robin: Well, where do I start, Misha? I come from Scotland and my great-grandparents were the Druids. The Druids are magical people. They can speak to the trees and to animals. They can fly and see into the future. They say that a year has two halves: a light half (spring and summer) and a dark half (autumn and winter).
The weather in Scotland is usually cool, but spring and summer are often nice. It is never hot, but it can be quite warm. It sometimes rains, but we also get some sun. The nights are short and the days are long. People work in the fields. Children lie in the sun and play in the woods.
But autumn and winter in Scotland are very cold. The weather is bad. In autumn it often rains and in winter it snows and rains,

About a month ago I was at a lesson working with my textbook Suddenly I felt really ill.I felt very cold and I had a headache and my eyes hurt.My teacher phoned my mother.She came soon,took me home and called a doctor.
In the afternoon the doctor visited me.She examined me throat,listened to me heartan and lungs,looked at my eyes and ears.In the end she said,Well it`s a bad cold.You have to stay in bed for a week.She wrote me a prescription for some medicines.She told me to take pills three times a day.She also asked my mum to give me hot milk with butter and honey or hot tea with raspberries.
My mum went to the chemist`s and bought the medicines for me.I followed the doctor`s advice and soon I felt much better.My friends were glad to see me at school again.Переведите пожалуста!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!************пожалуста умоляю

2. What is the difference between them nowadays?
3. What do tabloids write about?
4. What do broadsheets focus on?



In the UK we have two main kinds of newspapers: broadsheets and tabloids.
Originally these names came from the size of the newspapers. A tabloid format newspaper was smaller and the broadsheet format newspaper was bigger.
But nowadays when we talk about tabloids and broadsheets, we talk about two different kinds of newspapers: easy reading and quality newspapers. Tabloids report news in a very condensed form. They write about celebrities, the British Royal Family, sport, crime stories and scandals.
Broadsheets give their readers long, detailed reports on the latest news and focus on more serious things: politics, economy, government, international events, business, culture.
