Тext 11. My Favourite Animals

I like animals. I can see wild animals at the Zoo. It is interesting to watch monkeys, elephants, crocodiles, foxes, bears and other animals.
I like films about animals. I have read a lot of books about bears because I like bears most of all.
Bears are huge. They can be white and brown. The white bear eats fish. It lives in the Arctic. The brown bear lives in the woods. It likes honey and sleeps in the lair (берлоге) sucking its paw in winter.

Text 12. My Favorite Book

I like reading because I learn a lot of interesting things from books. But most of all I like adventure stories.

My favourite book is «The Adventure of Tom Sawyer» by Mark Twain. It is a story about an American boy and his friends. Tom is inventive and brave. He is always full of ideas. He has a lot of adventures on the Mississippi River.

The book teaches us to be kind and friendly, honest and brave, to be a true friend.

I really enjoyed the book.

Reading Comprehension

He Went with Magellan

On the twenty-second of March, 1518, Magellan, his wife Beatriz and Faleiro were still in Valliadolid – waiting for the king’s decision about exploration in the South Seas . They had finished dinner and now were sitting round the fire. It was cold outside. Magellan was studying a chart. Faleiro was thinking about something. Suddenly Faleiro got up from his chair and walked up to the window. For a minute he looked at the sky. Then he began to walk up and down the room. He did not speak, and no one spoke to him. Once he stopped and looked very angrily down at the chart. He said something in a low voice, but no one could hear him. Magellan paid no attention to the astronomer. Faleiro was a strange person, but he was clever. He measured longitude so well that Magellan felt sure Faleiro could tell the exact place of a ship in the sea. Neither Columbus nor Vasco da Gama had been able to be sure how far east or west a ship had travelled. With Faleiro’s tables of longitude. Faleiro stopped near the table and said, “What chart is that?” “A copy of a chart which the great Admiral Christopher Columbus used in his voyage,” Magellan said. Faleiro said gloomily: “Columbus didn’t know where he was going. When he got to the New World he didn’t know where he was, and when he got home he didn’t know where he had been.” “He was the greatest navigator the world has ever seen,” Magellan said quietly. “But he would have been still greater if he had had Faleiro with him.” Faleiro made this modest statement and gloomily returned to the window. Suddenly they all heard a knock at the door, a very loud knock. Then they heard voices and people coming upstairs. The courier came into room. “To Ferdinand Magellan and to Ruy Faleiro from our most noble king Don Carlos,” he said and handed a packet to Magellan. It was a great day for Magellan: he learned that Don Carlos gave them ships and money to explore the South Seas.

HOW TO TAKE CARE OF HEALTH?

I am sure that health is a very impor¬tant thing for all people. If you have good health you are in a good mood. I think it is necessary to take care of health. I know a very useful proverb: «Good health is above wealth.»
Everyone has one’s rules about how to be in good health. First of all one must get up early, do¬ morning exercises all the year round. Usually I wash myself in the morning and in the evening with cold or warm water. I clean my teeth twice a day. To spend a lot of time in the open air is a very important fact for everybody. We must walk a lot, play active games, and spend a lot of time outdoors in the fresh air. It is useful to go for a walk before going to bed. We should keep our flats clean. Every day I sweep up the room.
It is necessary to take care of our food. We must eat fruit and vegetables. They say “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”. If you are overweight you should keep to a diet. I believe that we have to eat low fat food. We must not eat a lot; we can’t eat much sugar or plenty of sweets.
If you want to keep fit you must go in for one kind of sport or another. In summer we can ride a bicycle, go camping and swimming. In winter one can go sledging, skating, playing hockey or skiing. You can swim in the swimming-pool all the year round. I am sure that sport helps people to keep in good health. If you go in for sports, you have good health and don’t catch cold. Sport makes people strong, healthy and cheerful.
There are some facts which have influ¬ence on our health. First of all it is bad mood and physical inactivity. Eating a lot can make you fat and not active. Drinking much alcohol is not useful for our health either. It is a terrible fact when we eat at night, don’t follow a diet, use high-calorie foods and don’t move a lot. Smoking is not useful for our health either. If a person smokes a lot he (she) will be ill. To smoke is to live at the risk of one’s life. I suppose that it is necessary to go to bed till 11 o’clock and get up at 7 o’clock.
I like the proverb: «Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.» I am sure that our health is connected with our nerves system. I think that we must not be nervous. As people say “A merry heart is a good medicine.” I am sure that children and grown-ups must take care of their health.

Falling Ill
I am sure that health is a very important thing for all people. If you have good health you are in a good mood. I think it is necessary to take care of health.
There are certain laws of keeping health which are so simple that even a little child can learn them.
Fresh air is very important to good health. Besides, every room in the house, especially bedroom should be properly cleaned. The whole body should be washed regularly. We like to look at someone who is tidy and clean. Some exercises are also necessary to keep us fit. The old and the young should do morning exercises. Rest is also important to the health of both body and mind. Plenty of food rich in vitamins is very useful for our health, too. If one of these rules is broken we may fall ill.
When I have a headache, a stomach ache, a sore throat, a cold or pain in some other parts of my body, I call a doctor and he examines me. He takes my temperature and my pulse. He examines my heart; my lungs, my stomach or the part where I have a pain, and tells me what the matter with me is. The doctor prescribes a medicine, and gives me a prescription. I take it to a chemist’s and buy the medicine. If I follow the doctor’s orders, I get better.
If some people are seriously ill, they go to hospital by ambulance. When I have a toothache, when a tooth hurts me, I go to a dentist.
Last winter I fell ill. I caught a bad cold. I had a bad cough and was running a high temperature. I had also a cold in my head and a terrible sore throat. It hurt me when I swallowed. I was constantly sneezing.
My mother called the doctor. When the doctor came in she examined my throat and tongue, felt my pulse, listened to my heart and lungs and tested my blood pressure. Then she took my temperature. She said there was no need to worry as it was neither flu nor quinsy. It was just a bad cold.
The doctor told me to stay in bed for a week to avoid complications after the illness. Then she prescribed me some medicine for my headache and told me to drink warm milk with honey and butter. I was to take the medicine twice a day.
I followed all the doctor’s advice and in a week I felt much better and soon I recovered.
