Of course we have a garage and enough parking space. In the basement there’s some kind of a recreation cen-: tre. | mean, it has everything you need not to feel bored.

There’s also a huge living room with the dining room. So we can gather together with all the family to watch a film or just chat. And for that there are comfortable sofas with lots of cushions there. The dining room has a big oval table, so there’s place for everyone. | want to have a gym on the ground floor, too, because | love sport. The utility room is not far from the kitchen. On the first floor everyone can enjoy their private time. There’s a bedroom with a shower for me and bedrooms for each member of the family and two or three small rooms for guests. | also want to have a library upstairs. You know, a real library with high bookshelves and big armchairs where you can sit and enjoy a book. Outside there’s a big garden. And somewhere near the corner of the land there’s a small fireplace for barbecue. With a loving view of the mountains this place is the nicest part. Well, that’s my dream house.

A Day in the Life of the Queen Many people think that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has an easy life. She stays in her beautiful palace, travels abroad and does nothing else. Actually, it’s not true. The Queen’s day is very busy. The Queen begins her day like many people — with a good breakfast. That is usually cornflakes and porridge, yog- hurt and marmalade. The Queen’s working day begins at her desk. She reads the daily British newspapers and checks her correspondence. It's hard to believe but she gets over 300 letters a day. Of course Her Majesty cannot read them all, so she just reads some of them and tells her staff members how to answer them. Then the Queen sees her Private Secretaries who bring her the official papers and documents to read and sign. All wrMODULE 3 ; MODULE 3 this takes about an hour. Together, they also go through the day’s programme - receiving a new ambassador, visits to hospitals, other public events. Later comes the time for official meetings, or “audi- ences”: the Queen sees some important people, like foreign ambassadors, ministers, or judges. Each meeting lasts 10 to 20 minutes, and usually the Queen and her visitor meet alone. Then it’s lunchtime. Her Majesty prefers to have lunch privately. However, every few months she and the Duke of Edinburgh (her husband) invite guests to an informal lunch. Every afternoon at 2.30 pm, the Queen goes for a walk in the palace grounds. The rule is that if anybody is in the garden, they must leave. Nobody can talk to her. It’s possible only if she speaks first. She likes walking alone, because it’s her thinking time. The rest of the afternoon is devoted to the Queen’s so- cial duties and public engagements. She visits schools, hos- pitals, factories, homes for elderly people, hostels for the homeless, and other different organisations. The Queen often goes to open events and buildings, and make speeches. If the engagement is outside London, the Queen travels by air, using a helicopter or a plane. All in all there are about 430 engagements every year. If there is no public visit, the Queen spends the evening at the palace. She fills in a crossword, often watches televi- sion with supper on a tray, and goes to bed at around 11 pm. But quite often the lights are on until midnight. The Queen studies confidential documents and reads other official papers. 1. The Queen receives lots of letters every day. 2. The Secretaries decide which letter the Queen reads. 3. The Queen has lunch with many important people. 4. An official meeting doesn’t have a time limit. 5. The afternoon walk is a private time for the Queen. 6. The Queen has dinner in the places she visits. 7. Ifthe engagement is inside London the Queen travels by car. 8. The Queen meets the Prime Minister every week. 9. The Queen doesn’t have receptions at the palace. 10. The Queen usually works in the evening. | 2.

It is, perhaps, the biggest celebration in Scot- land and nowadays people throw parties at home or join in the street parades. There are some very old traditions around Hogmanay and here are some of them. Firstly, people prepare for the wMODULE 4 new year by cleaning their houses and throwing away any- thing old or unwanted. They do this because they believe it brings good luck for the coming year. Immediately after mid- night it is traditional to sing “Auld Lang Syne”, a song written by the national Scottish poet Robert Burns. Another Hogmanay tradition is the “first-foot”. This is the first person who comes into your house after midnight on the first of January. People say it should be a dark-haired man. It’s even better if the “first-foot” brings a gift with them and traditionally this could be a coin, bread, salt, coal for the fire, or a drink. These represent the money, food, flavour, warmth and happiness that you get in the coming year! Outside there is live music everywhere and a lot of fireworks displays. Everybody sings, dances to music and has fun. 1. Where and when do people celebrate Hogmanay? 2. What are Hogmanay traditions? 3. Whatis the traditional song for Hogmanay? 4.

And at weekends the square became a vibrant and colourful place as it was market time. Of course we had a su- permarket, clothes shops and even a huge department store. But shopping at a street market was a special experi- ence. It was a big event for the whole town and a time to meet friends, talk and mix with different people. There was a great choice of entertainment, too. We had a cinema, two theatres, a football pitch and a small music hall. |always had something interesting to do or somewhere to go to.

Mark’s home town had very little traffic. Mark liked buying fresh bread. All the shops opened very early in the morning. Mark loved reading books in the library. Mrs. Andrews was Mark’s teacher.

It stands on Salisbury Plain in the south-west of England. It consists of a group of huge stones that stand on the ground in two circles. In some cases, there is another stone on top of them. There is a big stone in the very centre of Stonehenge. Archaeologists believe it was built between 4,000 and 5,000 years ago. B. Stonehenge hides a lot of secrets. Like, it’s still not clear who built it. One legend says that the Devil placed the stones there. Another legend tells us that the great magician Merlin created the monument. And there’s one more theory that thousands of years ago giants turned into these stones. However, these are not scientific explanations. Maybe it was the aliens? C. The stones of Stonehenge are different but all huge and heavy. The largest stone is about 7 m tall (taller than a giraffe) and weighs about 25 tons (heavier than 5 elephants). The builders of Stonehenge cut them from the rock more than 200 km away and carried to the site. We don’t know exactly how they moved these large stones. This is another mystery of the place. D. Another big question is why people built Stonehenge. This is one of the great mysteries of Britain. Some people think it yarn was a place for religious ceremonies to worship the sun, oth- ers say it was an ancient calendar. Archaeologists believe that the ancient builders had some knowledge about astron- omy. On 21st June (the longest day), the sun rises directly above the central stone.

John: Musicals? They're not for me, for sure. Liz: Listen, John! | just remembered one film that came out last week. It’s a detective and it has a little romance and some action, too.
