6.Read and say what kinds of tickets there are in Great Britain.
Going by Train in Britain.
A singleis a one-way ticket. If you ask for a return ticket, the clerk may ask you when you are coming back. This is because there are at least two types of return tickets: an ordinary return – the more expensive and valid ticket on any train for a period of three months; a cheap day return –valid only on the day you buy it, and usually only after a certain time in the morning.
If you are staying in a town near London, you may be able to buy a rail ticket which is also valid in the London Underground.
Always keep your ticket until the end of your journey, when your ticket may be collected at the barrier.

A
The captain was showing Danny the different controls and dials when suddenly the cockpit door burst open. A tall man with a scar on his left cheek, who was carrying a gun, grabbed Danny and yelled at the captain. “This is a hijack. I’m in control now.” Without thinking of the danger Danny bit the man’s hand as hard as he could. The hijacker screamed in pain. Quickly the co-pilot grabbed the gun while the captain knocked the hijacker unconscious.

Danny looked excitedly out of the window as the aeroplane was taking off into the bright sky. Then he smiled happily at his dad who was holding his soft hand tightly.

“This is going to be the best Christmas ever,” thought Danny. “I can’t wait to tell Granddad about what I did.” When the plane landed Danny was given a hero’s welcome. As a reward the airline gave Danny and his family free flights for the rest of their lives.
D
They had been flying for an hour when Danny’s father disappeared for a few minutes. He came back followed by a friendly looking stewardess in a blue and red uniform. “Would you like to see the cockpit, Danny?” she asked.

Among the passengers travelling home by train from Florence there was a certain Miss Bradley. I only noticed her when passing down the corridor, because of her really remarkable plainness. She was rather a large, awkward woman of about thirty-five with a big, red nose, and large spectacles. Later on, when I went to the dining-car, Miss Bradley was already seated, and the attendant placed me opposite her.
I think we may have exchanged half a dozen words at dinner, when passing one another the sugar or the bread. But they were certainly all we exchanged, and after we left the dining-car, I did not see Miss Bradley again until we reached Calais Maritime. And then our acquaintance really began, and it began entirely on my initiative. There were plenty of porters, and I called one without difficulty from the window of the train. But as I got off, I saw Miss Bradley standing on the platform with two large very old suit-cases. The porters were passing her by.
I am quite sure that had she been an even slightly attractive woman, I should not have gone up to her, but she was so ugly, and looked so helpless, that I approached her, and said: “My porter has a barrow. Would you like him to put your cases on it too?” Miss Bradley turned and looked at me. “Oh – thank you. It is very kind of you.”
My porter, without great enthusiasm, added her luggage to mine; and in a few minutes we found ourselves on board the Channel ferry. Before the boat had been under way for ten minutes, I realized that Miss Bradley was a remarkable bore. Shyly and hesitantly she kept on talking about nothing, and made no remark worth taking notice of. I learned that she had been in Italy a fortnight, visiting her sister who was married to an Italian. She had never been out of England before. I did not looked forward to travelling to London with her for another four hours, so excusing myself I went along to the booking-office on board the boat and booked myself a seat on the Golden Arrow.
Miss Bradley was travelling by the ordinary boat train, so this would mean that we should part at Dover. At Dover I hired one of the crew to carry our luggage. Normally, passengers for the Golden Arrow are dealt with by the customs first, as the train leaves twenty minutes before the ordinary boat train. When the boy asked if we were going on the Golden Arrow, I hesitated and then said “yes”. It was too difficult to explain that one of us was and one of us wasn’t, and then it would get Miss Bradley through the customs quickly. As we went towards the Customs Hall, I explained carefully to her that my train left before hers, but that I would see her through the customs; the boy would then take the luggage to our trains, and she could sit comfortably in hers till it left. Miss Bradley said, “Oh, thank you very much.” The boy, of course, had put our suit-cases together on the counter, and Miss Bradley and I went and stood before them. In due course the customs examiner reached us, looked at the four suit-cases in that human x-ray manner which customs examiners must practise night and morning, and said, “This is all yours?”
I was not quite sure whether he was speaking to me, or me and Miss Bradley. So I replied, “Well-mine and this lady’s.” The examiner said, “But you’re together?”
“For the moment,” I said rather foolishly, smiling at Miss Bradley.
“Yes,” said the customs man patiently. “But are you travelling together? Is this your joint luggage?’
“Well, no. Not exactly. We’re just sharing a porter.”
I pointed my cases out. I had nothing to declare, and declared it. Without asking me to open them, the examiner chalked the cases and then, instead of moving to my left and dealing with Miss Bradley, moved to the right, and began x-raying somebody else’s luggage. The boy took my cases off the counter. I hesitated for a moment, but then decided it was no use waiting for Miss Bradley since we were about to part, so I said:
“Well, I’ll say good-bye now, and go and find my train. I expect the examiner’ll come back and do you next. The porter will stay and bring our luggage up to the trains when you’re through. Good-bye.”
Miss Bradley said, “Oh…good-bye and thank you so much.” We shook hands and I left.
I found my seat in the Golden Arrow and began to read. It must have been about twenty minutes later that I suddenly realized the train was due to leave in five minutes and that the porter had not yet brought my luggage. I was just going to look for him when he appeared, breathing heavily, with my suit-cases. I asked him rather what he had been doing.
“The lady is still there,” said the boy, “and will be for some time, I think. They are going through her things properly.”
“But why?”
“Well, they’d found forty watches when I came away, and that was only the start, so I thought maybe you wouldn’t want me to wait.”
I have often wondered whether, when Miss Bradley stood so helplessly on the platform at Calais, she had already chosen me as the person to come to her rescue, or whether she was just sure that somebody would.
Looking back, I think she must have chosen me. I am fairly sure of that though exactly how, I have never been clear. I am quite sure she never made the slightest effort to make my acquaintance.

Kyiv is known for its attractive parks and famous Khreshchatyk Street.
Being an educational centre of Ukraine Kyiv has a number of colleges, universities and research institutes. Among them are the University of Kyiv (founded in 1834) named after Taras Shevchenko and the Ukrainian Academy of Science (founded in 1918).

- What do you think I ought to see first?
- Well, if you are interested in churches and historical places, you should go to the Church of St. Andrew, St. Sophia’s Cathedral, Golden Gates and Volodymyr Cathedral. Do you like museums?
- Rather.
- Then why not go to the Taras Shevchenko State Museum?
- I am told one ought to see the Museum of Ukrainian Fine Arts. Do you think I shall have time for that?
- Well, you might, but I would recommend you to leave that for some other day. You could spend a whole day there. It’s much too big to be seen in an hour or so.

- Since I don’t leave until tomorrow evening I have almost two days for doing the tour. What would you recommend me to see first of all?
- If you’re interested in architecture you shouldn’t fail to see the Kyivo-Pecherska Lavra in the first place. It’s an architectural monument of the 17-th century. Then St. Sophia’s Cathedral in St. Sophia square and Andriyvska Church which is not far from it are certainly worth seeing, too.
- What else should I see?
- You’ve never been to Kyiv, have you? Then I advise you to take a walking tour of the Dnieper slopes. They are very picturesque.
- I heard a lot about the Dnieper slopes and Kyiv parks. Unfortunately, I’m too short of time to see them all.
3.

Grammar: The Obligue Moods. The Synthetic and Analytical forms. Topic: Agriculture of Sumy Region Reading:Text. Successful Farming Depends on the Soil. Talking Points |
GRAMMAR
1.The Obligue Moods. The Synthetical and Analytical Forms
The function of the obligue moods is to represent something in the speaker’s mind not as a real fact, but as a wish, purpose, supposition, doubt or condition problematic or contrary to fact. There are four obligue moods in Modern English, of which two are synthetical and two analytical.
The synthetical moods are – Subjunctive I and Subjunctive II.
The analytical moods are – the Conditional and Suppositional.
Mood | Tense | Formation | Meaning | Example | Translation |
Subjunctive I | - | V (Infinitive without to) | an action as proble-matic, but not as contradic-ting reality | He de-mands that we be present. | ³í âèìàãàº, ùîá ìè áóëè ïðèñóòí³. |
Subjunctive II | present | Ved (2) (were for all persons) | an action as contrary to reality | I wish he were with us. | Øêîäà, ùî â³í íå ç íàìè. |
past | had Ved(3) | If he had been in town yesterday, he would have come. | ßêáè â³í áóâ ó÷îðà â ì³ñò³, â³í áè ïðèéøîâ. | ||
Suppositional | present | should V | an action as proble-matic, but not contra-dicting reality | I suggested that he should meet her. | ß çàïðîïî- íóâàâ, ùîá â³í ¿¿ çóñòð³â. |
past | should haveVed(3) | ||||
Conditional | present | should / would V | unreal action | I should call on him but I have very little time. | ß á çàéøîâ äî íüîãî, àëå ó ìåíå äóæå ìàëî ÷àñó. |
Past | should/would haveVed(3) | She would have bought a watch but the shop was closed. | Âîíà á êóïèëà ãîäèííèê, àëå ìàãàçèí áóâ çà÷èíåíèé. |
2.The Use of Subjunctive Mood in Simple Sentences
a) Smb had better + V. It means strong advice.
e.g. You had better go there again. Êðàùå á òîá³ ï³òè òóäè çíîâó.
You had better not tell her about it. Êðàùå á âàì íå êàçàòè ¿é ïðî öå.
b) Smb would rather + V. It means preference. (I prefer)
e.g. I would rather gothere again. ß êðàùå ï³äó òóäè çíîâó.
ñ) If only (oh, if) smb + Ved (II). It means regret or strong unreal wish.
e.g. If only he cametomorrow. Î, ÿêáè â³í ïðèéøîâ çàâòðà.
Oh, if it were not so hot now. Îõ, õî÷ áè íå áóëî òàê æàðêî.
d) in slogans, wishes, imprecations, set expressions.
e.g. Long live the Army! Õàé æèâå àðì³ÿ!
Be it so! Õàé áóäå òàê!

1.Read and translate the following text.
Kalynivka is a big and beautiful village. There is a cattle-farm, a pig-farm, a chicken-farm and a big garden in this village. There are many fruit trees in the garden.
In the centre of the village you can see a new club, a cinema, a school, a big hospital and many shops. The houses in the village are not high, but they are very nice. Near the houses you can see many trees and flowers. In the streets of the village there are buses and cars. There is a small river in this village too.
Kalynivka is a very nice village. I like living there, though it’s not easy to live in the country. My parents have to get up at 5 a.m. to milk the cows. Also they make most of our food - they make butter and cheese, we grow our own vegetables and my granny bakes our own bread. It’s great! Everything is fresh! The thing I like most about living in the village is the change of seasons. You can see them all come and go, and each one is completely different. In the city you can’t tell the difference. The air is clean in Kalynivka, because there is not much heavy traffic. You never have to queue in shops or banks. The village is clean - the people look after it and don’t throw their rubbish in the streets. People are friendly in Kalynivka, they help each other. One problem is that people gossip. Some of them are not worth knowing at all. Take, for example, my neighbour. She sits with her nose pressed to the window all day spying on everyone… If you say “Hello” to a girl in my village, it will get around to everyone in about 2 hours thanks to my neighbour, and the next day someone will come up and ask you when you are going to get married. But I still love my Kalynivka. I prefer village life to life in a big city.

Text B. The Brave Village.
1. Read and translate using the vocabulary.
George Viccars was a tailor in the Derbyshire village of Eyam. One day in September 1665 he received a parcel from London. The cloth in the parcel was damp, so George Viccars hung it in front of the fire. The next day Viccars was very ill and a few days later he died. There were large purple rings on his face and his body.
In London, thousands of people were dying from the plague. Now the terrible disease was outside the city, too. Nowhere was safe.
When they heard the news a few rich people left Eyam, but the other people stayed. ”Everybody must stay in the village,” said the local vicar William Mompesson. In the next 13 months nobody left Eyam and 262 of the 350 villagers died. But the disease did not spread to other places.
People from other villages brought food, clothes and medicine to places near Eyam. The people from Eyam collected the things and left money there. They left the money in small holes full of vinegar. One girl from Eyam, Emmott Sydall, had a sweetheart in the next village. When the plague started, they couldn’t meet each other. Every evening they came to a place between their villages and called to each other. Then one evening in spring 1666 Rowland waited and waited, but Emmott did not arrive. Rowland came back to the place every evening, but he never saw Emmott again. She, her father, brother and three sisters were dead.
The vicar of Eyam and his wife, Katherine, helped the villagers when their relatives died. One evening in August 1666, Mompesson and his wife were walking in the fields. Katherine said she could smell something sweet. This was the first sign of the plague. A few days later Katherine died. Mompesson, himself, lived for another 44 years.

Text A. Customs and Traditions in Ukraine
1.Read the following text.
Speaking about modern Ukrainian customs and traditions it is necessary to stress that the hardworking Ukrainians proudly maintain their colourful folk culture, with music and art playing an important role, and their distinctive literary traditions. Ukrainians in general are kind, open, generous, easygoing and hospitable. They love good food and drink and have a hearty zest for life.
A modern average Ukrainian family has two working parents and usually one or two children. Children tend to live with their parents long after they finish school to an unspecified point when they are regarded as independent and are able to provide for themselves and their families. Sometimes children even have to rely on their aged parents in financial matters as the unemployment rate among the young is very high. A newly married couple often lives with either of their parents because they have no money to buy a house or flat of their own.
At the same time there is a growing number of one-parent families usually headed by a woman rearing a child. While the marriage rate gradually declines, the divorce rate slowly grows. Like in many other European countries there are quite a lot of young unmarried people living together and sharing a household. Bringing up a child in Ukraine is very costly now, and many couples decide to have only one child, or no children at all, if they are not well established in life. This leads to a definite decline of the birth rate.
In the village the families are usually larger, and the whole family works on the farm (or a patch of land they have) together. Most parents who live in the country want their children to get a higher education, so they send them to study to big cities and towns. After 5 years of studies, the children get used to the city way of life and seldom go home. In this way the number of the city dwellers increases all the time while the number of rural workers gradually declines.
Within families people become less dependent on each other, they spend less time together. In their struggle for survival, they forget about each other’s feelings and bring home their irritation and despair. Still parents think it important to teach their children daily skills and basic values of life. The most important values are honesty, common sense, purpose, responsibility, good manners and obedience to parents.
Teenagers of today are different in their minds from their parents when they were the same age. They grow up too fast, and they are very independent. They face many problems, much cruelty and many stresses. Today they should be brought up to expect that they will have to struggle to succeed. They want to go their own way which their parents do not always understand. Sometimes parents realize that their children can be good teachers for grown-ups, because teenagers can adjust to the new conditions of life quicker and more easily. When this happens, parents and children create a family microworld where they live in respect, love and harmony.
Most of Ukrainian middle-class and lower class urban families live in flats in multi-storied houses, only rather rich people can afford to build cottages either inside or outside the city boundaries. Many families have small country houses where they grow fruit and vegetables which are usually canned in seasons to be used in winter. Few people can afford to have a full-time rest during their holidays and to go to the sea-side or travel abroad. Most people have two or more jobs to be able to provide for their families.
Like most other people Ukrainians like holidays and merrymaking. They usually try to cook many tasty dishes and invite a lot of friends and relatives to their homes, or go to the country and have picnics in the woods or somewhere near the water when the weather is fine.

Text B. Easter
Read and translate the text with the help of dictionary.
Easter is the most important festival in the Christian calendar and it holds the key to understanding Christianity. Easter has a very important religious meaning for Christians. The events that happened to Jesus Christ and his followers in the days before and during Easter 2000 years ago remain in the centre of Christian belief. Every religious holiday in Ukraine is marked by the ringing of church bells. But on Velykden the bells sound particularly majestically. They announce to the whole world glad news: Christ is risen! Why is it so important? Resurrection of Christ proclaims immortality of soul. Christ rises from the dead. Resurrection gives us hope. Resurrection is a victory over death.
The date of Easter changes each year. It falls on the first Sunday following the first full moon after March 21. The preparations for Easter begin 40 days before it, on Shrove Tuesday. This marks the beginning of a period of fasting, called Lent.
The main Easter celebrations take place during “Holy week”, which begins on Palm Sunday (the Sunday before Easter). Maundy Thursday (the Thursday before Easter) is traditionally the day when Christians do good acts. Good Friday is the most solemn day of Easter because this is the day when Christians remember Christ’s crucifixion. On Easter Saturday churches are closed to symbolise Christ lying in the tomb. But Sunday – the day of Christ’s Resurrection – is a joyful occasion and many Christians prepare for it with an overnight church service, or “vigils”.

LONDON. SIGHTS OF LONDON.
London, the capital of Great Britain, lies in the valley of the Thames. “Greater London” stretches for over thirty miles from the north to south and for over thirty miles from east to west. Its population is over eight million people. London is the biggest industrial and cultural centre of Great Britain. It is also a very big port, one of the greatest commercial centres in the world, a universal city, and the seat of the government of Great Britain.
The first mayor of London was elected in 1193 but for more than a thousand years before that London had been a place of some importance. The Romans, the Saxons and the Danes settled here in turn, and after them the Normans came. London survived the Plague, which killed nearly 100,000 people, and the Great Fire which followed. Little damage occurred during World War I, but World War II brought tremendous destruction. Many buildings of great historic value were laid in ruins and today the face of London is changed. Yet much was spared, including the Tower, St. Paul’s and Westminster Abbey.
One of the oldest buildings in London is the Tower. William the Conqueror, the first Norman king, built it in the eleventh century. For hundreds of years the Tower was used as a fortress, a residence of kings and a prison. The most popular sights in the Tower nowadays is the Jewel House in which the Crown jewels are on display.
St. Paul’s Cathedral is not very far from the Tower. The cathedral, the most striking building in the city, was designed by Sir Christopher Wren, an outstanding British architect.
The City of London is a very small part of the whole, it is only one square mile in area but it is the most important banking and commercial centre of the country. Every day over a million white-collar workers come to the city offices and banks.
If you walk westwards from St. Paul’s you reach Fleet Street. Here the most important newspapers and news-agencies have their offices.
Walking along the Strand you can reach the Houses of Parliament. The new building for the Houses of Parliament was built in 1840 on the site of the old Palace of Westminster. Big Ben, the most accurate clock in the world, is in the Clock Tower of the Houses of Parliament.
Opposite the Houses of Parliament stands Westminster Abbey, famous for its architecture and historical associations. Nearly all kings and queens have been crowned in the Abbey, since the time of the Conquest. Chaucer, Spencer, Tennyson, Dickens and many other famous men and writers were buried there. In the Poet’s Corner there are memorials to Shakespeare, Milton, Burns, Byron and other poets and writers.
One of the most beautiful places in London is Trafalgar Square. It was named in the memory of Lord Nelson’s great naval victory. Admiral Lord Nelson is the Britain’s national hero who defeated the French fleet in the battle of Trafalgar in 1805. A high column was built in his memory. It stands in the centre of Trafalgar Square. At the base of Nelson’s Column are four great lions. The square is usually full of visitors feeding pigeons or watching the traffic.
Buckingham Palace is the residence of the British monarch. When the queen is here the royal standard is flying on the roof.
One of London’s attractions is its parks, Hyde Park the most famous of them.
There are many other historical buildings and museums in London.

READING
Text A. A Day in London.
1.Read and translate.
Advice. If you are going to London for the day by train, try to buy a rail ticket that also includes travel on London buses and the underground. You will save a fortune on fares.
If you do not need your passport and other valuables, leave them at home. Like every other big city, London has pickpockets. They work wherever there are crowds – especially on the underground. Wear a money belt!
Try not to take 10 or 20 pound notes. It is safer to take 5 pounds notes. Check your change in shops as soon as you are given it.
Change money before you go to London. It will save time. Avoid “ exchange bureaux“ when you want to change money. A bank will probably be cheaper: Barclays, Lloyds, Midlands, National Westminster, Bank of Scotland, etc.
If you want to know what shows are on, where, and how much tickets cost, buy a copy of Time Out magazine at the bookshop in the station where you arrive. If you want to buy a ticket to a play, concert, or show, ask about ‘standby seats‘. These are cheaper but are usually only available on the day of the performance.
Plan your visit to London before you arrive! If you don’t, you will waste hours and risk being crushed in the crowds on the underground! London traffic is very busy. This can make taxis expensive. The tube is quicker than the bus, but you don’t see as much!
If you haven’t got much money, take your own sandwiches and drink, as food can be quite expensive.
You will have a very cheap day in London if you visit art galleries and museums. In Britain, they are usually free to every day of the week.
If you want to have a very frustrating day in London, join the queues at Madame Tussauds and the other most popular places. There is more to London than wax figures and Buckingham Palace! Good luck!
2.Explain which advice is the most important for you.
