LESSON 1
Правила чтения
Гласные в открытом типе слога читаются так, как называются в
алфавите. Открытый тип слога имеет две разновидности:
1) абсолютно открытый слог - слог, заканчивающийся на глас
ную, e.g. me, no, go, my;
2) условно открытый слог - слог, заканчивающийся на соглас
ную, после которой стоит нечитаемая, т.е. немая гласная, e.g. Pete, site,
made.
Слог, в котором за ударной гласной буквой следует одна или
несколько согласных (кроме "г"), называется закрытым. Гласная в за
крытом слоге передает краткий гласный звук:
а - [ж]; е - [е]; i, у - [I]; о - [о]; и - [л]; e.g. bad, bed, sick, myth,
knot, bud;
ph - [f], e.g. physics, telephone;
"с" перед "e'V'i'V'y" [s], в остальных случаях [k], e.g. case, cycle;
"g" перед "e'V'i’V'y" [d3], в остальных случаях [g], e.g. cage,
game;
kn - [n] knock, know.
Remember the alphabet:
А, В, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, 0, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X,
Y, Z.

MY FAMILY
My name is Alexander, Alec for short. My full name is Alexander
Semyonovich Ivanov. I am 18. I am a student. I study at the mechanical
faculty of the Seversk State Technological Institute.
My family is large. There are six of us1: my father, mother, brother
6
and grandparents. We all live together. My grandparents don't work, they
are pensioners. My mother and father work at the Siberian Group of
Chemical Enterprises. They are engineers. My younger brother's name is
Boris. He goes to school. He is a pupil of the 8-th form. Boris gets only
good and excellent marks. And my parents are very proud of5 their son's
success. As for me3 I was not a brilliant pupil and finished school with
some satisfactory marks. But I did my best4 to enter this higher school and
now I am very glad to be a student.
Besides brother I have an elder sister. But she does not live with us.
She is married and lives with her husband and two children in their own
three-roomed flat. They live not far from our house and we often visit each
other. Her husband, my brother-in-law, is a very kind and interesting man. I
like to discuss things with him. My niece and nephew are nice children and
all o f us love them very much. They are twins and look alike, they are 3
years old and go to the kindergarten. My sister graduated from the Medical
College. She is a children's doctor. And my brother-in-law graduated from
the University. He works at a Research Institute and besides he is a post
graduate student. I am sure he'll be a big shot one day.
We also have many relatives in our town. They are: my uncle, aunt,
cousins and even great-grandparents. Most of all I love two my cousins -
Helen and Mike. Helen is 17 and Mike is 22. We like to spend time to
gether, talking things over. We have much in common. Helen is a first-year
student and Mike works and studies at the same time. He is going to5 marry
soon. As for me, I think it's too early.
Our family likes to visit our relatives or to be visited by them. When
we gather together we have a very good time6. We enjoy ourselves7 dis
cussing the latest events, playing chess, singing songs, etc. Our grand
mother plays the piano very well and we like to listen to her. And our fa
ther plays the guitar. We like to watch TV too and discuss the programs.
That's wonderful to be together. In summer we like to spend our time in the
vegetable-garden we have not far from the town. All of us are fond of®
working there. This is our hobby. We are a happy family. We love each
other and are proud of each other.
Remember the following expressions:

2 to be proud of somebody - гордиться кем-то;
3 as for me - что касается меня...;

Text 1
ABOUT MYSELF
Let me introduce myself. My full name is ... . How old am I? Well,
it's not a secret. I am 30. In my opinion this is the best age, isn't it?
Where am I from? I'm from Russia, Siberia. I live in a beautiful Si
berian town Tomsk. As for my work I like it very much. I am a doctor. You
know it's a noble profession. I graduated from the Tomsk medical college
in 200....
In 2001 I married. Now we are four: my wife, son, daughter and me.
My wife's name is N. She is 28, she is an engineer. I should say my wife is
a pleasant-looking woman with light hair and soft dark-brown eyes. She is
kind and gentle, but she manages our house very well. Our son Alec, is a
schoolboy, and our daughter is only four and she goes to the kindergarten.
She is a lovely girl. She looks like her mother. And as for my son he is like
his grandfather. They are very much alike. My son and daughter are nice
children. Alec is strong both in body and character. He is a clever, hard
working pupil, a first-class footballer, boxer and runner. As for our daugh
ter, she isn't fond of studies of any kind, but she loves music and dancing
and she sings very prettily. She took part in the competition "Alisa" and got
many prizes. We were very proud o f her.
Our hobby is our vegetable-garden. We enjoy working there. Besides
we like to read, watch TV and discuss the latest events. We have some fa
vourite programs. On Sundays in winter we go to the cinema and some
times to the theatre. But in summer we prefer to be somewhere in the coun
try. Most of all we like to go to our country house. It is not a big but very
cosy two-storeyed cottage. Our vegetable-garden isn’t large but it is well
looked after. Our grandparents often go with us and enjoy themselves there.
Even my great-grandmother enjoys being there. We are also fond of going
to the forest to pick mushrooms. It's a real pleasure to find a boletus (a
white mushroom)! As for my father-in-law he prefers fishing. And in my
12
opinion it's a dull business.
My wife and mother-in-law knit all their spare time. And in general
they are as busy as a bee. As to our children they go in for sports.
Oh, I'd like to say a few words about our pets. We've got a cat and a
dog. Their names are Jinni and Joy. They are very clever and we adore
them. Our Joy took part in the TV dog-show and was the winner. We were
very proud of him.
Besides we have many relatives in our town: uncles, aunts, nieces,
nephews, cousins. We like to visit them on week-ends.
All of us follow the proverb: "Early to bed and early to rise makes a
man healthy, wealthy and wise". But in spite of this we are not wealthy and
not very wise. Still we believe it will happen in the future. Why not?
We also have many friends. Mostly they are our schoolmates or in-
stitute-mates. We usually meet together on holidays or week-ends. And of
course I am sure they will help us in case o f any difficulties. Well, you
know "A friend in need is a friend indeed". And certainly they may rely
upon me and my wife. We'll do our best to help them. A man can't live
alone, can he? As for me I just can't imagine that. And what about you?

A QUIET LIFE
John Smith is a typical resident of Siberia Avenue, Surbiton. He
looks gloomy, but in fact he is quite happy, and he leads a quiet life in this
suburb of London. He is, of course, a clever man, but a little unpractical. So
he needs Mrs. Smith to look after him. And Mrs. Smith on the other hand,
is very practical and full of common sense. His wife's name is Gertie. She
is a nice looking woman of about forty. She has long brown hair and won
derful blue eyes. Though she is not already young her figure is slim and
slender. And she loves her husband very much. Gertie looks after him care
fully; she cleans the house regularly and feeds him daily on well cooked
meat and tinned vegetables. There is always a supply of fresh water for his
whisky, and a plenty o f carpet space for putting practice, so he is very
comfortable and content with his suburban life. He is proud o f his wife and
his house. John and Gertie enjoy being together. They like to discuss home
and foreign policy.
John is very fond of his old dog, Sam. They go for walks together.
Today he is taking Sam to the local vet, because he is afraid that Sam is go
ing blind. However, the vet is confident of curing him by means of a small
operation. He is giving Sam an injection before operating on him, so that he
will sleep peacefully the whole time and not feel any pain. There is even a
pretty nurse standing by to comfort Sam in case he feels unhappy and
lonely in the strange surroundings. In general, both John and Sam think that
they don't have a bad life, and they have no desire to change it for anything
more adventurous.
I guess, we can say that he was born with a silver spoon in his
mouth.
As for Gertie, she knows very well that "men make houses but
women make homes". So she does her best their home to be a nice place.
Very often she invites their friends to discuss their favourite topic of con
versation. Guess, what.

WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONARE? I DON'T
Sixteen years ago, Charles was a college professor with a huge six-
bedroom house and a fortune of $2 million. Today he lives in a small cara
van where there is only second-hand furniture. There are certainly no signs
that Charles was a rich man! There is a small garden outside with a few
fruit trees. Charles grows some vegetables and a few flowers. He gets his
clothes and a lot of other things from charity shops.
But this change is not a tragedy. Charles was happy to give up the
lifestyle of a rich man. He was tired of being a person who had everything
21
in a world where many people have nothing. He made the choice to give all
his money away. And this, he says, has brought him happiness.
"A few years ago," says Charles, ”1 was a millionaire, but I knew
there were a lot of hungry people in the world." So he gave away all his
money to charities. When he had two thousand dollars left, he gave away
small bank notes in the streets of local poor areas. Did he feel like Father
Christmas? "It was a lot of fun," says Charles.
Charles believes that many people want to earn a lot of money so
that they will not have any worries. However, most people never make
much money. Charles Gray decided to drop out and he discovered that hav
ing only a little money makes you free. Are there any things he misses?
"No, I'm much happier now. I wouldn't go back to being rich for anything -
no way."
Now listen to the song
“Who wants to be a millionaire?”
Who wants to be a millionaire?
I don’t.
Have flashy flunkies everywhere.
I don’t.
Who wants the bother of a country estate?
A country estate is something I’d hate.
Who wants to wallow in champagne?
I don’t.
.
Who wants a supersonic plane?
I don’t.
'
Who wants a private landing field, too?
I don’t.
And I don’t ‘cos all I want is you.
Who wants to be a millionaire?
I don’t.
Who wants uranium to spare?
I don’t.
Who wants to journey on a gigantic yacht?
Do I want a yacht? Oh, how I do not!
Who wants a fancy foreign car?
I don’t.
Who wants to tire of caviar?
I don’t.
Who wants a marble swimming pool, too?
I don’t.
And I don’t ‘cos all I want is you.
