A Matamata
В Long-horned beetle
С Poison-arrow frog
D Leaf toad
 In the depths of the tropical rainforest of French Guiana live some
strange and wonderful animals rarefy seen by humans.
A Matamata
This is a type of turtle which is about 50-70cm
long. It lives in the tropical
marshland and it is orange-
brown or grey-brown in
colour f which helps it to
blend in to its
surroundings. It has a
large body, a thick neck
and a broad triangular-
shaped head with a long thin
snout. It feeds on fish which it attracts by
wiggling a strange-looking piece of skin that
hangs down from its neck.When a fish comes
close enough, the matamata sucks up the fish
and the water and swallows it in one big gulp.
Its name was given to it by the south American
Indians and it means'I kill'.
B Long-horned beetle
Hard to distinguish from a piece of bark due to
their brown and grey camouflage, these beetles
are 2cm long.They have six jointed legs and
two long antennae which is how they get their
name because they look like horns.They live in
trees and eat wood.The female lays her eggs in
a dead branch and the strong teeth of the larvae
burrow into the wood.When
they are mature, they tunnel
their way outThey usually
live for about two years.
C Poison-arrow frog
Indians used the poison
from certain frogs to tip their arrows.
However, they
didn't use the
poison from this
particular species
despite its name.
The toxins from this
frog are not actually
deadly, but they can cause an allergic
reaction. It
secretes its poison through its skin and it is
strong enough to kill insects, which are what the
frog preys on. It is quite small, only about 2cm
and unlike most frogs it hasn't got webbed feet.
It is brightly coloured with a black and yellow
body and blue legs and it has shiny skin.This
warns other animals that it is not good to eat
so very few animals eat them. It lives on the
floor of the rainforest and likes moist, shady
places.
As its name suggests, this toad lives on leaves in
the undergrowth of the rainforest. It has brown,
yellow and orange patterned skin with a raised
line down its back which looks exactly like
the vein of a leaf. It positions itself in the
centre of a large leaf and uses its amazing
camouflage to hide from its predators which
are snakes, birds and spiders. It can only
usually be seen if it moves.They are usually 3-
4cm long but can grow as big as 8cm.

10. Answer the following questions.

1 What is your favourite sport?

As for me my favourite sport is biathlon.

2 Do you enjoy travelling?

Frankly speaking I enjoy travelling, and now I’m waiting my vacation to go to foreign country.

3 If you could live anywhere in the world, where

would you choose?

If I could live anywhere in the world, I would choose Prague. This is a special place, with a measured

rhythm of life, here no one chases a lot of money, people value communication, so after work they go to a

cafe and talk about life.

4 How many hours per day do you study English?

I try to find one hour per day to study English.

11. a. Below are two photographs showing different

functions of the law. Compare and contrast the
two pictures, saying which situation is more
stressful.

First of all, in these two pictures we see how people representing the law act in real life. Obviously, in
the picture A policeman catches a criminal, and this is a really dangerous situation and the most
stressful, because no one ever knows how the detention of a criminal can end. So this can be a serious
threat to the policeman himself. In picture B, we see a court hearing where a lawyer asks questions to a
 witness. Of course, this is also stressful, but less than the detention of a criminal.
b. How strict do you think laws should be?

Nowadays, laws should be strict, and maybe they are strict in different codes. To my mind, laws must be
strict because otherwise in a society begin devastation and anarchy. The laws allow you to introduce
structurality in society, to establish order. But the most important thing is that these laws apply equally
to all citizens. Because now we see that thieves who devastate the budget calmly walk free or receive
suspended sentences, and people who stole less receive 7-10 years in prison. It is unfair and only creates
tension in society and its stratification even more.

c. Below are two photographs showing friends together. Compare and contrast the two photographs,
saying what you think the situation in each one.

Obviously, in two pictures we see friendship at different ages. In the picture A we see a group of teenagers, they
are walking together, they have common interests, they are now having fun and they are not thinking about the
future. Of course, there are conflicts, misunderstandings between them, and they quarrel, do not communicate
with each other. But friendship is very emotional at this age. In picture B we see friendship in adulthood. This
friendship went a lot, such as quarrels, conflicts, and joy and support of each other. At this age, friendship is not
just talking, it is an internal feeling of reliance on a person where you feel without words that they will
understand, support, and help you.

d. What makes a good friend?

Probably for everyone there is a concept of friendship. As for me, a good friend is a person with whom I
feel comfortable. A good friend is a support. He/she can tell you the truth, even if it is painful, but not
with the aim of humiliating you, but so that you can understand yourself. A good friend supports you in
your endeavors, believes in you, is in touch with you. In fact, there are few good friends in life, so if you
have met one, value his friendship.
