THERE IS NO FRIGATE LIKE A BOOK TO TAKE US LANDS AWAY (Unit 8) I. READING AND DISCUSSING THE TOPIC
London. Read her letter to Mary, her penfriend. 25 Station Road Los Angeles, California, 90023 June 23, 2002 Dear Mary, I’m sorry I haven’t written so long. I was very busy last month but now my studies are over and I can write a letter to you. Things are going well for me. I’m learning a lot in my French class and feel better about speaking French now. In your last letter you asked me to write a few words about my hobbies. Well, I’m fond of reading. I’ve got a very good collection of books at home and I’m really proud of it. I can’t say my collection is thematic. I’ve got different books: science fiction, poems, plays, love stories, psychological prose, books on sports, history and the arts. I’ve got many books about animals and birds. I also have books which can tell you about different countries and lands. I think many people can say that their hobby is reading, and I’m sure it’s easy to explain why. We learn when we read books. Whatever you do, whenever you go, you’ll always need a true friend and a good teacher. This friend and the teacher for you is the book. I’ve already read a

lot of books. Some of them are interesting indeed, some are boring. Some of them are easy to read, and some are difficult to understand. But I usually read all of them up to the end. As I have already said my collection of books at home is good, but I often borrow books from the library. We have a very good library at our college. There are plenty of books there on various subjects and in different languages. Not long ago I began reading French books in the original. I think that is much more interesting than reading books in translation, and very useful. But best of all I like historical novels, detective stories and adventure books. That’s why I prefer books by Agatha Christie, Jack London, Ernest Hemingway, James Hadley Chase and others. Now I really think I’m finishing. Sorry for such a long letter. Remember me to your parents. Love, Helen.

There are excellent catalogues and qualified librarians here. There is a public library in every town in Russia. Anyone may join a library and borrow books. At the lending department you may borrow three books at a time and keep them for a fortnight. If at the end of the period you haven’t finished reading a book, you may renew it. The librarians know a lot about literature. They can give you advice about literature and recommend you what books to take. Most public libraries also have a reading room and a reference library. In the reading room you can read the daily papers and all the other important periodicals. In the reference library there are encyclopedias, dictionaries, atlases and other books of reference on every possible subject.

The British Library is the greatest public library in Britain. It consists of the Reference Division, the Bibliographic Service Division and the Lending Division in Yorkshire. The Reference Division has its origins in the library department of the British Museum founded in 1753. There are more than 9 million books including original texts by Shakespeare, Dickens, da Vinci and many others. The collections of early printed books, of old English books and of books in all European languages make the British Library one of the finest libraries in the world. It is not only a collection of old books, it is also a rapidly growing modern research library. The British Library receives one copy of every book and every issue of every periodical or newspaper published in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. Now the collections are not only in many languages, but also cover all fields of human knowledge. The Reading Room of the British Library is a centre of serious study in all fields. University professors, lecturers and students use it.
39 The richness of the collection in different subjects makes the Library useful for journalists and writers. In summer the readers are the visitors from abroad. Well-known writers and historical personages worked here, Sir W. Scott, Ch. Dickens, W. Thackery, K. Marx, V. Lenin, Th. Hardy and G.B. Shaw among them.

41 HEALTH AND ILLNESSES (Unit 9)
Last spring Ann, my room-mate, was taken ill. The poor girl felt sick and giddy, she was running a high temperature and it was clear that she needed the services of a doctor. I rushed straight to our hostel health centre and made an appointment with the doctor. In an hour or so the doctor, a middle-aged woman in a white gown, came in. Before diagnosing the disease she asked Ann to strip to the waist, examined her throat, felt her pulse, sounded her heart and lungs and tested her blood pressure. The following dialogue took place between them. D.: I see you’ve taken your temperature. What is it? A.: It’s 38.7 (thirty-eight point seven). And I feel bad, I’ve got a headache and a sore throat. D.: Do you get colds very often? A.: Well, I had a cold about two months ago. I had a chest infection afterwards. The doctor gave me some antibiotics. D.: And did you complete the course of treatment as directed? A.: Oh, yes. By the way, it hurts me when I swallow. Besides, I’m afraid I’ve got a pain in my side. D.: Let me examine your side. Things do happen. A.: And what if it is appendicitis? It would mean an operation, Doctor, eh? Do say something. D.: There, there. No tears. Take it easy. Everything will be all right. A.: I hate being on sick leave and staying in bed. D.: Does it hurt when I press here? A.: Oh, yes. It’s terribly painful. D.: Well, my dear. I’m sorry to say you have flu and besides something is wrong with your appendicitis. If you have a new attack, you must be taken to hospital and operated on. A.: Oh, it’s too bad. Poor me. D.: Don’t worry. Let’s hope for the best. Now I’ll write out a prescription for some pills and a mixture. You are to take a tablespoonful of it three times a day. I believe that some injections of glucose will do you a lot of good. A.: And what should I take for my headache? D.: I’ll give you a tablet. Here it is. Good-bye, and cheer up. A.: Good-bye, Doctor. Thanks a lot. So, I went to the chemist’s to have the prescription made up. We followed the doctor’s directions and in a week my friend felt much better. Then I took her to the health centre where she had her chest X-rayed and her blood tested. Everything was all right and soon she recovered.

TRAVELLING AND HOLIDAY MAKING (Unit 10) I. READING AND DISCUSSING THE TOPIC Task 1.
Read the text “Holiday Making” and do the tasks following it.
I consider holidays the most pleasant time with so many possibilities to spend time. Actually, you have nothing to do but enjoy yourself. You can do it in many different ways – you can travel, you can go to the movies, you can go in for sports – it is all up to you to choose. Our family always looks forward to going on a holiday. There’s nothing like summer holidays. We usually make our plans beforehand. All of us are fond of travelling. I find it exciting to see mountains, rivers, and cities, meet new people and make friends with them. We like to go camping. We spend holidays in a tent on an organized campsite. A camping family has to buy and cook their own food, do their own washing, and look after their own accommodation. Some people say it is no rest when one must do so many things. But we are fond of camping and won’t change it even for going abroad on a tour. You know, many people prefer hiking. They love to leave broad highways and go along little lanes where cars can’t go. They take mountain paths; they walk by the side of quiet lakes and through the woods. They see the real country, the wild flowers, and the young birds in their nests. They feel the calm of nature. Many people prefer holiday centres. There are wooden houses with good beds, electric light, running water. Some holiday centers have large buildings with all modern conveniences and comfort, a large hall for dancing, a cinema, a bar, and rooms for games. The place usually has its own swimming pool and tennis courts. In fact, there is everything you need. The Black Sea is one of the most wonderful places which attracts holiday-makers all over the world. There are many rest-homes, sanatoriums and tourist camps there for travellers to live in. To stay in such holiday centers is too expensive, and our family cannot afford it. My parents say that a holiday in the country is not less interesting than at the seaside. You may go boating and fishing, or just go for a walk in the forest and pick flowers, berries and mushrooms. It is always pleasant in hot weather to go to the wood and walk in the shade of the trees and listen to birds’ singing. Winter holidays are the occasion that students always look forward to and enjoy greatly. They begin after all the exams are over and you are free. No doubt, winter is a great time for sports. I should say that every season is good for a holiday. But our life is not one long endless holiday. There should be time for work and time for leisure.
