England had very few roads in the past, so the Thames provided a major highway between London and many parts of the country.

What was built on the Thames after the industrial revolution? (Что было построено на реке Темзе после промышленной революции?)
Beautiful homes were built along the banks of the river (Красивые дома были построены по берегам реки).
How did the Thames help London at wartime? (Как Темза помогла Лондону в военное время?)
Castles and forts were built on the mouth of the river and they protected London. Etc (Замки и крепости были построены в устье реки, и они защищали Лондон)

Лондон не будет Лондоном без реки Темзы. Она протекает на 215 миль через английскую сельскую местность, а затем через сердце великого города, прежде чем она достигает (reaches) моря. Темза сыграла 1) чрезвычайно важную роль в создании Англии, какой она является сегодня.
Англия имела очень мало дорог в прошлом, поэтому Темза предоставляла (provided) главное шоссе между Лондоном и многими районами страны. Люди могут также отправить запасы (supplies) продовольствия и других товаров в Лондон и из него на лодке. Во время войны, Лондон был защищен от морских атак (attacks), потому что они строили замки и крепости в устье реки. Люди из Лондона получили разрешение 2) пить воду из Темзы, и 3) жаждущие коровы и овцы были обычным явлением на его берегах (banks).
С 4) промышленной революцией в 18 веке Темза стала одним из самых оживленных водных путей в мире. Фабрики делали и экспортировали (exported) товары всех видов. Таким образом, люди стали богатыми, и многие из них построили 5) красивые дома вдоль берегов реки. 6) Известный писатель Чарльз Диккенс провел часть своего 7) детства там, а позже написал о Темзе в своих книгах. Сегодня Темза стала символом (symbol) Лондона, так же, как и Биг Бен или Букингемский дворец. Если вы прогуляетесь вдоль ее берегов, у вас будет день, полный 8) приятных сюрпризов. Вы сможете полюбоваться мостами, построенными во многих 9) различных архитектурных стилях. Наиболее известным (famous) является, вероятно, Тауэрский мост, который фактически поднимается 1000 раз в год, чтобы проплыли корабли. Или вам, возможно, 10) посчастливится увидеть Лондонскую греблю, лодочные гонки Оксфорда и Кембриджа, которая проходит на реке каждую весну. Являетесь вы лондонцем или гостем, у Темзы всегда есть, что предложить вам.

The Kama River
The river Kama is an important river in Russia. Situated in west-central Russia, it is one of the longest tributaries of the Volga and 1, 805 kilometers long. It starts its journey in Udmurtia, near the town of Kuligi and flows north, then east, south and south-west until it reaches the Volga river. There are many cities situated on the banks of the Kama, such as Solikamsk, Berezniki and Perm.
The Kama is a valuable waterway to the Urals and Siberia and is, therefore, often used as a trade route. Its waters support a wide variety of industries and its floodplains are rich in salt and potassium. There are hydroelectric stations at Perm and petroleum is extracted in the Sylva and Iren valleys.
Although the Kama is mostly associated with industry, it remains a beautiful river nonetheless. During the winter months when the river is frozen, you can find people ice-skating and during the warmer months of the year many enjoy strolling along its banks.
Перевод:
Река Кама
Река Кама это важная река в России. Располагается в западно-центральной России, это один из самых длинных притоков Волги длиной 1, 805 километров. Река начинается в Удмуртии, рядом с городом Кулиги и течет на север, затем на восток, юг и юго-запад до тех пор, пока не достигнет реки Волга. На берегах реки Кама расположено много городов, таких как Соликамск, Березники и Пермь.
Кама это ценный водный путь в Урал и Сибирь, и поэтому часто используется как торговый путь. Ее воды снабжают широкое разнообразие отраслей промышленности, а ее пойма богата солью и калием. В Перми есть гидроэлектрические станции и добывают нефть в долинах Сильве и Ирен.
Хотя Кама в большинстве своем связана с промышленностью, она несмотря ни на что остается красивой рекой. В течении зимних месяцев, когда река замерзает, вы можете увидеть катающихся на коньках людей, а в течение теплых месяцев года многие наслаждаются гулянием вдоль ее берегов.

Вопрос: Imagine a day in your life without gadgets. How will your day be different from a normal day? What changes will you make? How will these changes make you feel? Tell your partner.
Категория: школьный раздел
Ответы:
My alarm clock wakes me up, not my mobile phone. I leave my mobile phone at home switched off. I feel lost without it! I have breakfast in the kitchen and instead of watching TV, I read the newspaper. I don't check my emails because I am not using the Internet today at all. I go to school and don't listen to any music on the school bus - I have left my MP3 player at home. After school, I do my homework but I don't type It up - I write It by hand. In the evening, I read a book instead of watching a DVD. I don't text my friends - I speak to my family instead. These changes would make me feel a little bit isolated from my friends and the world. I would feel a bit lost and lonely.
Перевод:
Мой будильник будит меня, а не мой мобильный телефон. Я оставляю свой мобильник дома выключенным. Без него я чувствую себя потерянным. Я завтракаю на кухне и вместо того, чтобы смотреть телевизор, я читаю газету. Я не проверяю почту, потому что я не использую сегодня интернет совсем. Я иду в школу и не слушаю музыку в школьном автобусе – я оставил свой MP3 плеер дома. После школы я делаю домашнюю работу, но я не печатаю – я пишу от руки. Вечером я читаю книгу вместо того, чтобы смотреть DVD. Я не пишу сообщения своим друзьям – вместо этого я разговариваю со своей семьей. Эти изменения сделали бы меня немного изолированным от моих друзей и мира. Я бы чувствовал себя немного потерянным и одиноким.

Вопрос: Special schools 
The Italia Conti Academy is no ordinary school. It is Britain's oldest theatre arts school. For those who dream of a life in showbusiness, getting accepted at this school is the first step on the ladder to success as an actor, dancer or singer. 
It is a private school which means the students have to pay to go there. All the students must wear a uniform and have to attend the same kind of lessons as other students do. The students have to work very hard in order to pass their GCSE* exams. 
Apart from their ordinary lessons, students can choose from a wide range of classes in the performing arts. These can be anything from taking traditional ballet to modern dance, or learning to act on the stage or for television. Whatever type of show business the pupils want to work in, they are encouraged to develop as many performing skills as possible. The Italia Conti Academy, with some of the best teachers in the country, gives them the opportunity to do this. Many students perform professionally while still studying and some begin a successful career before they finish school.
