Дорогий друже!

В твоїх руках не звичайний шкільний підручник. Забудь про довгі нудні тексти та незрозумілі завдан-
ня! Пора відмовитись від застарілих “сухих” підручників. Ти тримаєш книгу, на кожній сторінці якої ве-
деться живий діалог вчителя з  учнем. Я  вважаю, що саме в  такому спілкуванні криється секрет
успіху наших учнів на тестах ЗНО.
Давай познайомимось! Мене звати Дмитро Бондар. Я  – генеральний директор освітньої компанії
ZNOUA, головне завдання якої – дати кожній дитині в Україні можливість вступити до навчального закла-
ду своєї мрії, тим самим змінити своє майбутнє на краще! Нашій групі компаній в цьому році виповнилося
вже 10 років! ZNOUA – це наша нова компанія, з якою ми прагнемо змінити майбутнє кожної дитини!
Навіщо я звертаюсь до тебе? Перш за все, я хочу особисто познайомитись. Бо мені важливо знати
твою думку! Що  б це не було: порада, зауваження, критика чи пропозиція  – сміливо можеш
ділитися зі мною. Саме з твоєю допомогою команда ZNOUA буде змінювати та удосконалювати цей під-
ручник. Адже навчаючи інших, ми вчимося самі!
Створення компанії ZNOUA  – це моя відповідь на питання “Якщо не я, то хто?”. Зараз поясню, що
мається на увазі. Неймовірно, але факт – система освіти в тому вигляді, в якому вона представлена зараз
в Україні, була сформована ще у 17 столітті! Уяви собі, ці застарілі методи та підходи досі застосовуються
у наших школах. Однак час летить, і у 2004 році в Україні почала формуватися система зовнішнього неза-
лежного оцінювання – ЗНО.
Я вважаю, що це крок назустріч новим можливостям для українських школярів. Однак невирішеним
лишилось одне питання: система контролю за освітою модернізується, то чому ж сама система освіти стоїть
на місці? Щоб вирішити цю проблему, я звернувся до сучасних технологій, а також зібрав по-
зитивну команду найкращих викладачів! Так з’явилась компанія ZNOUA. Наші підходи реально
працюють, і це підтверджується високими результатами наших учнів на тестах ЗНО!
Я розумію, яка величезна відповідальність лежить на наших курсах. Успішне завершення школи та
вступ до омріяного вузу – це перші важливі кроки в твоєму дорослому житті. Ми обіцяємо тобі ефективну
підготовку та високі результати, однак якщо під час навчання у нас ти відчуєш будь‑які незручності чи
проблеми, будь ласка, зв’яжись зі мною!
Я гарантую, що особисто вислухаю твої зауваження та ідеї. Адже моє головне завдання ‑ полегшити та
прискорити процес твоєї підготовки до ЗНО.
Ти завжди можеш написати мені на пошту bondar@znoua.com або подзвонити на прямий телефонний
номер (050) 462‑84‑14. Також мене легко знайти в Skype: bondardmitriy.
Щиро дякую тобі за зроблений вибір та довіру до компанії ZNOUA. Я з нетерпінням чекаю можливості
особисто поспілкуватися з тобою!

Генеральний директор компанії ZNOUA

We may have 750 friends online, but we are lonely
He spends his life emailing, texting and
tweeting. So why does Andy Jones feel
so isolated?
1. Whatever I`m doing, wherever I am, I`ll tell
you about it. My phone and my laptop are
within constant touching distance, whether
I’m eating, drinking, in the shower, at a
gig or watching the football. Before I get up
every morning, I check my email, my texts
and my Twitter feed. By the time I’ve got
out of the shower, it’s time to do it again.
2. I have a constant drip-drip of information
from any of the 750 online friends and
followers that I associate with. Yet I have
never felt lonelier. How does a 28-year-old
man get like this? I am a rational profes-
sional man with a beautiful girlfriend and
long-standing mates.
3. I am not alone in feeling like an Island. In
a recent survey of young people, 60 percent
said they found it difficult to make friends
in real life compared with online. I’m way
beyond being an awkward teen but I am
wired up most of the day, as are most of my
friends. I go to parties, pubs and dinners,
but I am there only in spirit. Far from
bringing me closer to people, my phone
drives me further away. I can tell you how
many followers I have on Twitter, but
cannot remember the last time I saw my
housemates from university.
10 (044) 390 70 71, (099) 403 36 26
4. Social networking and the internet has
made me need to scroll through something
constantly. I`ll be due at the pub at 9p.m.
At 8.50 p.m. I`ll still be sitting on my bed
thumbing online. Then it’s 9.30, then it’s clos-
ing time and I’m still in my flat. Alone in the
dark, I download albums, then another, but
barely listen to them; the thrill is looking for
things to listen to rather than the listening.
When my long-suffering girlfriend comes
round, she has to prise me from my phone
or the internet. The moment she’s gone, my
mind wants the hyperactivity that the inter-
net and social networking provide.
5. I feel isolated. During work hours, I chatter
away on social-networking sites, delaying
tasks. I am in a constant state or distrac-
tion. Paradoxically, I no longer see the very
people I want to see because I have been
‘talking’ to them all day.
6. Last weekend, I threw a dinner party. The
moment that the food arrived, one best
mate aged 26 got up to make a phone call.
My other best mate, 27, sat through dinner
checking Twitter for football scores. What’s
worse is that I didn`t think either was being
rude. Social networking dominates. At the V
festival last year, we spent half a day looking
for somewhere so that one of our party could
charge phone. Once charged, he spent all of
Rihanna’s headline set reading updates from
Twitter about a gig that he was already at.

7. The terrifying thing is that none of us can 2. “We must___________ as much as we

go cold turkey. I dropped Facebook for six
months last year, but came back because
I was missing invitations. It was as if I
didn’t exist. If you’re an alcoholic, you can
avoid booze, but how do I avoid the inter-
net or my phone? I need it to do my job,
because my employers demand that they
can contact me at any time.

Reading Comprehension
Task 1
Read the text below.  
Match choices (А–Н) to (1–5).
Love it or hate it, utilizing the morning hours
before work may be the key to a successful and
healthy lifestyle. That’s right, early rising is a
common trait found in many CEOs, government
officials, and other influential people. Margaret
Thatcher was up every day at 5 a.m.; Frank
Lloyd Wright at 4 am and Robert Iger, the CEO
of Disney wakes at 4:30am just to name a few.
I know what you’re thinking - you do your best
work at night. Not so fast. According to Inc.
Magazine, morning people have been found to
be more proactive and more productive. In addi-
tion, the health benefits for those with a life
before work go on and on. Let’s explore 5 of the
things successful people do before 8 am.
1. ___________. Most people that work out daily,
work out in the morning. Whether it’s a morn-
ing yoga session or a trip to the gym, exercising
before work gives you a boost of energy for the
day and that deserved sense of accomplishment.
Anyone can tackle a pile of paperwork after 200
ab reps! Morning workouts also eliminate the
possibility of flaking out on your cardio after a
long day at work. Even if you aren’t bright eyed
and bushy tailed at the thought of a 5 am jog,
try waking up 15 minutes earlier for a quick
bedside set of pushups or stretching. It’ll help
wake up your body, and prep you for your day.

MODULE 1. My life. Daily routine 
2. ___________. Maximize your potential by
mapping out your schedule for the day, as well
as your goals and to dos. The morning is a good
time for this as it is often one of the only quiet
times a person gets throughout the day. The
early hours foster easier reflection that helps
when prioritizing your activities. They also
allow for uninterrupted problem solving when
trying to fit everything into your timetable.
While scheduling, don’t forget about your men-
tal health. Plan a 10 minute break after that
stressful meeting for a quick walk around the
block or a moment of meditation at your desk.
3. ___________. We all know that rush out the
door with a cup of coffee and an empty stomach
feeling. You sit down at your desk, and you’re
already wondering how early that taco truck sets
up camp outside your office. No good. Take that
extra time in the morning to fuel your body for
the tasks ahead of it. It will help keep you mind
on what’s at hand and not your growling stom-
ach. Not only is breakfast good for your physical
health, it is also a good time to connect socially.
Even five minutes of talking with your kids or
spouse while eating a quick bowl of oatmeal can
boost your spirits before heading out the door.
4. ___________. These days we talk about our
physical health ad nauseam, but sometimes our
mental health gets overlooked. The morning is
the perfect time to spend some quiet time inside
your mind meditating or visualizing. Take a
moment to visualize your day ahead of you, fo-
cusing on the successes you will have. Even just
a minute of visualization and positive thinking
can help improve your mood and outlook on
your work load for the day.
5. ___________. We all have that one item on our
to do list that we dread. It looms over you all
day (or week) until you finally suck it up and do
it after much procrastination. Here’s an easy tip
to save yourself the stress - do that least desir-
able task on your list first. Instead of anticipat-
ing the unpleasantness of it from first coffee
through your lunch break, get it out of the way.
The morning is the time when you are (general-
14 (044) 390 70 71, (099) 403 36 26
ly) more well rested and your energy level is up.
Therefore, you are more well equipped to handle
more difficult projects. And look at it this way,
your day will get progressively easier, not the
other way around. By the time your work day is
ending, you’re winding down with easier to dos
and heading into your free time more relaxed.
A. Make Your Day Top Heavy
B. Eat a Healthy Breakfast
C. Visualize Your Day
D. Exercise
E. Map Out Your Day
Task 2
Read the texts below. Match choices
(A–H) to (1–5). There are three choices
you do not need to use.
Tips on Being Happy
1. Free yourself from negative emotions such
as, guilt, anger, doubt, fear, resentment,
and worry. Your goal in this area should be
to constantly examine, and then eliminate
the negative emotions you find in your own
life. This is, quite possibly, the largest part
of finding true happiness.
2. Imagine yourself as perfectly healthy. Good
health is another huge key to achieving
true happiness. You become what you
think and imagine. Imagine yourself eating
the right things, exercising, and being hap-
py when you look in the mirror.
3. You need to take the time to examine your
past experiences in order to fully under-
stand your current thoughts, feelings,
and behaviours. You must learn to forgive
others and embrace all the experiences,
good and bad, that have shaped who you
are today. Only then can you move forward
to becoming the best you possible.
4. A true measure of your personality is the
loving and intimate relationships you
www.zno.ua

 MODULE 1. My life. Daily routine
have. If you are involved in relationships
you know are unhealthy, it’s time to make
a change. Strive to be around people who
love you, build you up, and whom you look
up to.
5. This is about living on purpose. You need
a commitment to something greater than
yourself if you want to find happiness.
Start thinking about how you can use your
talents, personality, and skills to make the
world a better place.
A. Try to be physically fit
B. Spend more time going out
C. Don’t discuss your private life
D. Analyze what you have lived through
E. Improve other people’s lives
F. Develop harmony and peace of mind
G. Review your contacts
H. Read humorous books

choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D).
(1)____________well last night? Or did you

Getting a good night’s sleep requires more

sure every night is a good night for sleeping.
“Sleep is a behaviour and, like all behaviours,

the house more than they did in the past, but
in the UK for example, men do an average of
just six hours a week compared to their wives,
who do over eighteen hours. No wonder that
the vast majority of working women in the UK
say they are stressed and exhausted!
According to the latest research by supermar-
kets, the average British family spends just
eleven minutes preparing the main evening
meal, and prefers ready meals’ and takeaways to
home-cooked food. Almost half of all families in
the UK eat together only once a month or less.
More than half of young people in the UK have a
full-time job by the age of nineteen, but the ma-
jority of young Spanish and Italian people do not
start full time work until they are twenty-four.
The average American fourteen-year-old spends
only half an hour a day doing homework, and
less than a fifth of young people participate in
sports, clubs, music or other traditional hobbies.
Instead, sixty-five percent say they spend their
time chatting on their mobiles and hanging out
with their friends in shopping malls.
In the UK pensioners are almost twice as ac-
tive as teenagers, according to recent research.
People over sixty-five spend nearly two hours a
day doing physical activities such as walking,
cycling, gardening or sport, while teenagers
spend only seventy-five minutes. However, sur-
prisingly, people who use the Internet regular-
ly do more sport than people who never use it.
Mark the following phrases S (if they both
mean the same) and D (if they are different).
a. two thirds / sixty-six percent S
b. the main share of the work / most of the

c. an average of six hours / exactly six hours

The Swedes and Finns are the sportiest nation-

kind of sport at least once or twice a week.

People may spend more time at work these

days, but are they always working? The latest
research reveals that each day the average
British employee spends fifty-five minutes
chatting, sixteen minutes flirting, fourteen
minutes surfing the Internet and nine minutes
sending e-mails to friends!

Reading Comprehension
Task 1.
Read the text below. For questions (1–2)
choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D).
Can you feel the rhythm?
’Routine’ is usually seen as a negative term
nowadays, largely because we no longer belong
to a society of nine – to – fivers. We live in a
world that is fast becoming a 24-hour society,
where everything is open all hours. You can
buy groceries at midnight, book your holiday
on the Internet at 3am, and do business online
at the crack of down. Before you join the 24-
hour revolution, however, take a minute to
listen to what your body is trying to tell you
– that a round-the-clock lifestyle is not what
nature intended.
In an area in our brains called hypothalamus,
we have a ’body clock’ that controls our body’s
natural rhythms. It tells us when it’s the right
time to work, sleep, play, eat. It plays an im-
portant part in our physical and psychological
well-being. It is, in fact, what makes us tick and
it controls many things including our hormones,
temperature, immune functions and alertness.
It synchronises all these like a conductor with
an orchestra; it regulates tempo and brings in
all the different instruments on time to make
music rather than a random noise. If we try to
ignore our body clocks, or even to switch them
off for a while, we not only deprive ourselves of
much needed rest but we also run the risk of
seriously damaging our health.
Ignoring your body clock and changing your
body’s natural rhythms can not only make you
depressed, anxious and accident prone, it can
lead to much more serious health problems.
For example, heart disease, fatigue, ulcers,
muscular pain, and frequent viral infections
can all result from trying to outsmart our
body clocks. Altering our patterns of sleeping

and walking dramatically affects our immune
system. While we sleep the body’s repair
mechanism are at work; when we are awake
natural killer cells circulate around our bodies
and cause more damage. Our digestive system
is affected, too – high levels of glucose and fat
remain in our bloodstream for longer periods
on time and this can lead to heart disease.
Unfortunately, we were not designed to be
members of a 24-hour society. We can’t ignore
millions of years of evolution and stay up all
night and sleep all day. We function best with a
regular pattern of sleep and wakefulness that is
in tune with our natural environment. Nature’s
cues are what keep our body clocks ticking
rhythmically and everything is working in har-
mony. So, next time you think a daily routine is
boring and predictable, remember that routine
may well save your life in the long run.

British Family Today

vowel + y + ed
The model of a traditional British family – with
a working father and a housewife mother rais-
ing two children – has changed greatly over the
past 20 years.

The biggest change has been caused by the

growing divorce rate. As many as two out of
three marriages now end in separation, which
brings about the situation where many chil-

44 (044) 390 70 71, (099) 403 36 26

www.zno.ua
 MODULE 2. Describing people
dren live with one parent and only see the oth-
er at weekends or holidays.
The number of working mothers has also in-
creased. The large rise in divorces has meant
many women need to work to support them-
selves and their children. But even when there
is no divorce, many families need both parents
to work in order to survive. This has caused
an increase in childcare facilities, though they
are very expensive and can be difficult to find
in many areas. Besides, women are no longer
happy to stay at home bringing up children,
and many make careers earning as much as or
even more than men.
However, these changes have not had a total-
ly negative effect. For women, it is now much
easier to have a good job and good salary. Al-
though it is difficult to be a working mother, it
has become normal and it’s no longer seen as
a bad thing for children. As for children them-
selves, some people argue that modern children
grow up to be more independent and mature
than in the past. From an early age they have
to go to nurseries, and so they are used to so-
cial behaviour and dealing with new people.
So, in spite of the fact that the traditional pic-
ture of a family may no longer be true in mod-
ern Britain, the contemporary family continues
to raise happy, successful children.
1. According to the author, the traditional
British family ___________________
A. means a working father and a house-
wife mother.
B. means a working father and mother.
C. has never existed.
D. has changed greatly over the past 20

Reading Comprehension
Task 1
Read the text below. For questions (1–5)
choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D).
Marie Curie was born in 1867. She is one of
the greatest scientists ever to have lived. She
was a pioneer in the field of radioactivity and
discovered the chemical elements radium and
polonium. Curie is the only person ever to win
two Nobel Prizes in two different sciences.
Other achievements include being the first
female professor at the University of Paris.
Curie was born in Warsaw, Poland. Her father
was a Maths and Physics teacher and was a
big influence on Marie’s early education. From
an early age Marie was an exceptional student
with an amazing memory. She often went
without food and sleep to study. Her brilliant
mind led her to Paris to study and to conduct
her research.
She met her future husband Pierre Curie at
the university. He considered Marie to be a
genius and instantly wanted to work with
her. They got married and spent most of their
time together in their laboratory studying
radioactive materials. Their research led to
the discovery of radium, for which they were
honoured with the Nobel Prize for Physics in
1903.
Pierre was killed in 1906 and Marie was
devastated and extremely lonely. She threw
herself even deeper into her work and won the
Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1911. She spent
the 1920s raising funds for more research into
radium. In 1934 she died from a condition
caused by decades of exposure to radiation.
Before that no one knew how deadly radium
could be.

Reading Comprehension
Task 1.
Read the text below. Match choices
(А–Н) to (1–5). There are three choices
you do not need to use.
Overcoming Shyness
Excessive shyness is a sign of insecurity, lack
of confidence, an incorrect self-image and low
self-esteem. When you are shy, you feel unsure
of yourself and in the company of others. Some
bad experiences during childhood could have
caused you to become timid and withdrawn.
When you are uncomfortable among others,
you can’t talk, express your opinions or ask
for favours. Timidity can affect the outcome of
your goals, your success with relationships and
your life.
(1)___________ There is a positive intention in
your behaviour. Most likely you are trying to
protect yourself from looking and feeling like a
fool. Listen to yourself. Your words are power-
ful. Stop focusing on your lack. The more often
you label yourself as a shy person, the more
your subconscious mind will agree and prove to
you that you are right.
(2)___________ Another great way to over-
come shyness is to imagine the best possible
outcome of a situation. In your mind, you can
do anything including making the first move,
talking in public and being assertive. Consist-
ently practice becoming the person you want
to become in your mind. Through practice and
repetition, you are able to “act as if” you are
confident and soon will become good at it.
(3)___________ You must refuse to give in to
fear and self doubt. The past is over with faults
and mistakes. You are a grown up and can act
differently. List down on a piece of paper why
you are shying away from people and why you
are afraid to speak up. Look at your list and
98 (044) 390 70 71, (099) 403 36 26
question yourself if what you have written is
true. What can you do to improve? You can
learn new skills, like how to improve your com-
munication, enhance your self‑image and how
to become more confident.
(4)_____________ You must fight your resist-
ance to socialize. You should put in the effort to
connect with others, especially those who have
positive qualities. Listen, observe and learn.
These people will subtly influence your behav-
iour and your thinking. Go out and join their
company. Sitting home and shying away won’t
help you become bold.
(5)______________ The trouble with self con-
scious individuals is that they think that other
people are concerned about how they look and
perform. Yes, there are judgmental people. But
do you know that most of them are insecure
and look for the weakness in others to validate
their own worth? If you can keep that in mind,
you’d go about living your life and not become
bothered.
A. Become Aware of Your Inner Chatters
B. Connect and Interact with Others
C. Imagine a New Self-Image
D. Work on Yourself
E. Strive to Become a Better Inner and
Outer Person
F. Remove Self-Doubt and Overcaution
G. Understand that People Are Caught up
in Their Own World
H. Look for Role Models
Task 2.
Read the text below. For questions (1–5)
choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D).
GROWING UP UNHAPPY?
In recent years evidence has been collected
which suggests that the proportion of British
www.zno.ua
 MODULE 3. Food
children and teenagers who are unhappy is
higher than in many other developed countries.
For example, a recently published report set
out to measure «well-being» among young peo-
ple in nineteen European countries, plus the
United States and Canada, and found that the
United Kingdom came bottom. The report was
based on official statistics and surveys in which
young people answered questions on a wide
range of subjects. With regard to «material
well-being» it concluded that when comparing
developed countries, there is no clear relation-
ship between GDP (gross domestic product)
per head and happiness, but that economic
inequality within those countries is linked with
unhappiness. The United Kingdom is a rela-
tively unequal country with a relatively high
proportion of children and teenagers living in
households with less than half the national
average income, and this seems to have a nega-
tive effect on how they feel about themselves.
Young British people also seem to have less
healthy family and peer relationships. The
report found that relatively few British fif-
teen-year-olds sit down with their parents to
regularly share the main meal of the day — an
event seen by the researchers as an indicator of
family togetherness.
More worrying was the fact that fewer than
half of British eleven-, thirteen- and fif-
teen-year -olds said they generally found their
peers «kind and helpful» (compared with more
than 70 % in most of the countries near the
top of the well-being table) and that almost 40
% said they had been bullied by other young
people in the previous two months. As for
«risk behaviours», the report suggested that in
Britain a higher proportion of fifteen-year-olds
have been drunk on alcohol, smoked cigarettes
and taken illegal drugs than in most other
developed countries.
More recently, another study has produced
similar findings, concluding that young peo-
ple’s lives in Britain have become «more diffi-
cult than in the past» and that more of them
(044) 390 70 71, (099) 403 36 26
www.zno.ua
are «anxious and troubled». This report blames
factors such as family breakdown, too much
competition in education, income inequality,
and even the construction of houses and other
buildings in open spaces where children used
to play. Its authors also argued that what lies
behind most of these things, directly or indi-
rectly, is an individualistic society in which
adults are too concerned with their own objec-
tives and insufficiently concerned with looking
after others, including children.

MODULE 3. Food 
Reading Comprehension
Task 1.
Read the text below. For questions
(1–5) choose the correct answer
(A, B, C or D).
Friends considered Michael Redford to be a
rather boring person. However, Michael thought
he was quite interesting. After all, he collect-
ed coins. What could be more interesting than
coins? It was true that he didn’t have any other
hobbies or interests, but that didn’t matter for
Michael. And what is more, he had a very inter-
esting job. Everybody else said that his job was
boring. But he was a bank manager! Michael
thought his job was fascinating. Everyday he
went to his office, switched on his computer and
spent seven and a half hours looking at spread-
sheets, and moving numbers around on them.
What could be more interesting than that?
Well, Michael was unhappy because people
thought he was uninteresting. He tried to talk
to people about his coin collection, but they
mostly didn’t share his interests.
Thus Michael thought about how to make him-
self more interesting. He decided that he needed
to be famous for something. He thought about
his coin collection, and decided that perhaps his
coin collection could make him famous. Perhaps
he had the biggest coin collection in the world,
or perhaps he had some very valuable coins.
Yes, this was it, he decided. He wrote a letter
to a local newspaper, and asked them if they
wanted to come and write an article about a
local man with the biggest coin collection in the
world. The local newspaper wrote a letter back
to Michael telling him that actually the Gover-
nor of Maine had the biggest coin collection in
the world. Michael was very sad to learn this,
but wrote back to the newspaper telling them
that he thought he had the most valuable coin
in the world. The newspaper wrote back to him
telling him that the most valuable coin in the
world cost 5,000,000 dollars, and asking him
102 (044) 390 70 71, (099) 403 36 26
if he was sure that he had it. Michael wasn’t
sure that he had it. In fact, he was sure that
he didn’t have it. Perhaps his whole collection
was very valuable thoughts it worth 10 million
dollars?” asked the man from the newspaper on
the telephone when Michael called him.
“Erm, no, I don’t think so“
“Forget it then”, said the man from the news-
paper. Michael thought about other things to
make himself famous. Perhaps he could be the
best bank manager in the country! Yes, this
was it, he decided. He told a friend that he was
the best accountant in the world.
“How do you know?” asked his friend.
“Well”, thought Michael, “I have a good job, I
like it- it’s very interesting – spreadsheets –
numbers – taxes – finance“. He saw his friend
going to sleep. “Hmmm”, he thought.
“Perhaps I’m not the best or the most interest-
ing accountant in the world.” “Listen, Michael”,
said his friend when he woke up again. “Per-
haps you don’t have the biggest or the most
valuable coin collection in the world. Perhaps
you aren’t the best or the most interesting
bank manager in the world. But there is one
thing – Michael, you are probably the most
boring man in the world.” Yes! Of course! This
was it. Michael could be famous because he
was the most boring man in the world. Now he
saw that his friends were right. He phoned the
newspaper again.
“Hello!” he said. “Would you like to do an inter-
view with the most boring man in the world?”
“The most boring man in the world—?” said the
journalist. “Now that’s interesting!”
Next week there was a big article in the news-
paper. “The Most Boring Man in the World!”.
There was a picture of Michael in his office.
There was a picture of Michael with his coin
collection. There was an interview with Mi-
www.zno.ua
 MODULE 3. Food

chael, and interviews with his friends. His
friends said they went to sleep when Michael
talked about his job or his coin collection. The
next day the BBC and CNN called Michael.
They wanted stories about the most boring
man in the world. “The most boring man in the
world!” they said. “That’s so interesting!”
5. There’s no Michael’s name in the Guinness
Book of Records because___________
A. Michael isn’t boring enough.
B. Michael is a very interesting person.
C. Michael didn’t want such popularity.
D. nobody can actually determine the
grade of dullness of a person.

And so, finally, Michael Redford became the

official Most Boring Man in the World.

You won’t find his name in the Guinness Book

of Records, because they said that it was im-
possible to decide exactly how boring somebody
is, but it was no problem for Michael. Now he
was famous, now he was so boring that he was
interesting.

100 places to visit before you die
Natural wonder
1st The Grand Canyon, USA
Known to native Americans as the ‘Mountain
tying down’, the Grand Canyon stretches for
443 kilometres where the Colorado River cuts
through northwest Arizona. The canyon is a
baby by geological standards - only five or six
million years old, although the rocks at the
bottom are almost two billion years old. It is
the incredible colours of these different layers
of rock that delight visitors - over five million
of them every year. Surprisingly though, after
making the long journey there, the average
visitor spends only fifteen minutes looking at
the Canyon. Even so, visitors should still be
careful: every year an average of five people
fall over the edge,
A viewer’s opinion: ‘It’s just incredible, you feel
as if you have died and gone to heaven’
2nd Iguazu Falls, Argentina/Brazil
3rd Great Barrier Reef, Australia
4th Rocky Mountains, Canada
5th Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe

 MODULE 4. Travel and tourism
Ancient wonder
1st Petra, Jordan
The location for a number of Hollywood films,
including Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade,
the city of Petra was built in rocky cliffs more
than 2.000 years ago, and was once an impor-
tant commercial city. Temples, palaces, and a
huge amphitheatre were all cut out of the cliffs,
whose amazing colours give the city its rose-
red appearance. Historians believe that the
citizens of Petra had to abandon it around 551
AD and this incredible archaeological site was
forgotten by the West, until a Swiss traveller
‘rediscovered’ it in 1812.
A viewer’s opinion: ‘It`s very difficult to im-
agine how enormous and how splendid it is
from photographs - you just have to see it in
person. It’ll blow your mind’’
2nd Machu Picchu, Pery 3rd The Pyramids,
Egypt
4th the Great Wall of China 5th Angkor Wat,
Cambodia
Modern city
1 Las Vegas, USA
st
A surprising choice as your favourite city, Las
Vegas means the ‘meadows’ in Spanish, but
meadows are probably the only thing you cant
find here. Even for those who aren`t interested
in gambling, Las Vegas is one of the most excit-
ing cities in the world. «The strip’, in the centre
of town, is five kilometres of the most extrava-
gant hotels you will ever see, including replicas
of the Eiffel Tower, the Egyptian Pyramids
and ancient Roman Palaces. It uses almost
24,000 kilometres of neon lights! Famous for
its ‘quickie’ weddings (both Elvis Presley and
Richard Gere were married here) you can even
arrange a ‘drive through wedding’ and be back
in the casinos in an hour!

world.’

Romantic city
1st Venice, Italy
What could be more romantic than going down
a Venetian canal in a gondola? No wonder Ven-
ice is the favourite of lovers all over the world.
This unique city is located on 118 flat Islands,
and has over 200 canals and 400 bridges.
Visit the Piazza San Marco, one of the most
beautiful squares in the world with its 500
year-old buildings, and marvel at the Basilica
of St Mark, and the Doge’s Palace, the home of
many of Venice’s most famous paintings and
sculptures.
A viewer’s opinion: ‘Imagine going back in lime
to a life without cars, where magnificent art
and architecture were all around you - this is
what you experience when you go to Venice.’

1st Koh Samui, Thailand
A tropical paradise located in the warm blue
waters to the southeast of Thailand. Although
it is the kingdom’s second largest island after
Phuket, it was unknown to tourists until a few
years ago. Easy to reach from Bangkok, it is
covered with coconut trees and brightly-colour-
ed flowers and is surrounded by white sandy
beaches and turquoise seas. Whether you want
remote beaches, great shopping, first-class res-
taurants or an exerting night-life, you’ll find it
on Koh Samui.

5 TIPS FOR BACKPACKING
1 _________________
This may seem fundamental to most but I, like
many others, set off on my first backpacking Eu-
rope trip with just a one way ticket. When the
money ran out sooner than expected it was a ma-
jor hassle getting back home. Make sure you have
a (preferably open dated) return ticket with you.
2 _________________
Do some research and have an outline of your
backpacking trip and possible places to stay
(hostels are the best for meeting up with other
backpackers and like-minded travellers) but aim
to go with the flow and don’t pre plan your trip
too much. Don’t try to pack in too many places.
Backpacking Europe does not mean you have to
visit every European capital in four weeks, or
even four months. Relax, taste and feel the differ-
ent culture, get to know the locals and immerse
yourself a little.
3 _________________
Backpacking is hard work! Whatever you take
with you on your backpacking trip will be carried
on your back for the duration. Obvious? Yes
but it’s amazing how heavy that backpack can
become after you’ve lugged it on and off buses
and trains numerous times. Travel light. Really
really light. Wear a pair of comfy shoes and pack

Is this ___ road to San Francisco?
Yes, it is.
• Do you know the name of ___ artist who
painted this portrait?
• Yes, it’s Henri Matisse.
We’ll never make it on time!
Sure we will! I know ___ shortcut.
one more pair. One jacket, a couple of jumpers
and T shirts, an extra pair of jeans, shorts,
swimwear, towel. You shouldn’t need much else.
4 _________________
You’ll meet lots of new people, other backpackers,
travellers, locals, and you’ll most likely end up
chatting easily to strangers. Most of them will be
good people, but not all of them. Girls should be
particularly vigilant. Stay in touch with family.
If immediate strangers ask, always tell them
L9 M4
that your family or friends at home know exactly
where you are, i.e. which city you are in and the
address where you are staying.

This from a female backpacker (me again!)
who hitched thousands of miles in the 80’s
across France, Italy and Greece. Yes, there are
plenty of weirdos out there. You may feel there
is safety in numbers but that’s not always so.
Catch the bus or the train, really it’s worth it!
A. Don’t travel alone
B. Be aware of personal safety at all times
C. Avoid hitchhiking
D. Don’t put too many things into your backpack
E. Try to enjoy every minute of it
F. Don’t plan to visit too many places

Reading Comprehension
Task 1
Read the text below. For questions (1–5) choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D).
A week in the Amazon Jungle
As I stand atop the thirty-foot muddy bank of
the Amazon River, I look across the tall grass
towards a Bora tribal village. I am about to
spend a life-changing week free from the com-
plexity of city life. Down the narrow dirt path
walks a young girl, no more than ten years old,
stopping long enough to give me a look that
shows innocent curiosity. Following her lead,
an elderly lady leisurely walks by and greets
me with a smile — her face covered in bright
white powder from a recent healing ceremony.
Lifting the two large drums of water onto my
shoulders, I hike towards the small wooden shel-
ter that would be my home for the coming week.
The rusty brown path radiated with intense heat,
and the sweltering humidity made every touch of
my clothing against the skin a reminder of how
grubby I felt. The eleven-hour overnight river-
boat journey, which had only ended hours ear-
lier, had left a mark on me, both physically and
emotionally. Seeing the lush, peaceful surround-
ings before me, the fears of not reaching our
destination gradually fades from my immediate
thoughts. The wooden-slat hut rested upon stilts
nearly four feet high, and provided a much-need-
ed, although ineffective, barrier against the
countless bugs and insects who would also call
these tropical grounds their home.
The young family welcomed me into their
home, standing together quietly, watching.
Sharing no common language, I smiled and
waited as Orlando stepped forward, speaking
their native tongue. Orlando, my guide, was an
ex-commando who seemed to be comfortable
in any unpleasant situation. With a machete
always at his side, he was ready for anything,
and was instrumental in escorting me well past
my usual comfort zone.
118 (044) 390 70 71, (099) 403 36 26
Two days earlier, as I sat uncomfortably in Or-
lando’s pale green office, I was suddenly struck
by his tough demeanour when he asked, «For
the next week, would you like me to bring my
shotgun and we only eat what we hunt — may-
be caimans and monkeys?»
The hut consisted of three open areas — a
main room that was large enough for several
hammocks and an eating table, a smaller room
for a teenage girl with her daughters, and a
walkway that connected to a cooking area that
buzzed with activity. The roof was covered
with tied palm leaves, allowing small hints of
skylight (or rain) to stream down upon me. The
large window gave my room a very airy feel,
full of every imaginable irritating flying insect.
The air was fresh with the smell of wet grass
after the daily thunder and downpour. A pair
of blue iridescent Morpho butterflies chased
each other past my window into the field. With
more than ten feet of rainfall a year, the lush
surroundings come as no surprise. My ham-
mock attached to a sturdy beam, I fell into
the handmade webbing and searched for some
essence of relaxation. Unfortunately, the salty
sweat beading down my face and the constant
swarm of tiny flesh-seeking flies negated any
of the relaxation that a hammock in the shade
might have offered.

Exercise 1.
Read the following passage and answer
the questions that follow. Refer to the text
to check your answers when appropriate.
Chess
Chess is called the game of kings. It has been
around for a long time. People have been
playing it for over 500 years. Chess is based on
an even older game from India. The chess we
play today is from Europe.
Chess is a two-player game. One player uses
the white pieces. The other uses the White
Chess Pieces black pieces. Each piece moves
in a special way. One piece is called the king.
Each player has one. The players take turns
moving their pieces. If a player lands on a
piece, he or she takes it. The game ends when
a player loses his or her king. There are a few
more rules, but those are the basics.
Some people think that chess is more than
a game. They think that it makes the mind
stronger. Good chess players use their brains.
They take their time. They think about what
will happen next. These skills are useful in life
and in chess. Chess is kind of like a work out
for the mind.

www.zno.ua
You don’t always have lots of time to think
when playing chess. There is a type of chess
with short time limits. It’s called blitz chess.
In blitz chess, each player gets ten minutes to
use for the whole game. Your clock runs during
your turn. You hit the time clock after your
move. This stops your clock. It also starts the
other player’s clock. If you run out of time, you
lose. Games of blitz chess are fast-paced.
Chess is not just for people. Computers have
been playing chess since the 1970s. At first
they did not play well. They made mistakes.
As time went on they grew stronger. In 1997, a
computer beat the best player in the world for
the first time. It was a computer called Deep
Blue. Deep Blue was big. It took up a whole
room. By 2006 a cell phone could beat the best
players in the world. Chess sure has come a
long way. Don’t you think so?

Reading Comprehension
Task 1.
Read the text below. For questions (1–5)
choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D).
Shaun Baker has two equally crazy ways of
descending through the torrents of a waterfall
in a small kayak. He either paddles through
a series of boulders that could smash him and
his boat to pieces, or pushes his boat out into
the air so that he freefalls through the air into
the water below.
He calls this extreme kayaking. Others may be
tempted to translate this as sheer lunacy. How-
ever, everyone agrees that it is a high-risk sport.
When Baker, a 32-year-old professional white
water rodeo champion from outside Maidenhead,
explains what he does, it sounds impossible.
When he actually shows you, it is truly amazing
how he emerges from the waters below, a little
bruised, but in one smiling, triumphant piece.
One of his favourite areas to perform these
daredevil feats is a valley or waterfalls on the
edge of the Black Mountains in central Wales.
A breathtakingly beautiful but dangerous spot,
it provides Baker with as a nerve-wrecking
challenge as any he has faced in the 20 years
he has been in some kind of canoe.
“It’s in my blood,” he explains, preparing
himself both physically and mentally for the
challenge ahead. “I don’t do this for any ma-
cho reasons, I do it for myself. If I am honest,
L13 M5
it scares the life out of me, especially when I
start to tip over the edge and I know there is
no turning back.”
“The trick is to turn the fear into positive ener-
gy. You are frightened at the top of the fall, but
this changes into a survival instinct. You need
every ounce of mental energy and reaction to
survive. The real kick is when you hit the bot-
tom and reappear from under the water. That’s
161
MODULE 5. Leisure Time 
when you know you have made it, and that is
the moment when you have a sense of elation.”
Apart from various national white water rodeo
championship wins, Baker also holds the re-
cord for the highest free-fall waterfall drop in a
kayak, as well as the world speed altitude drop
of 50 metres. He is just about the only regular
extreme kayaker in the world.
“The reason why I still do this”, he says, “is
that I have the ability to work out whether I
can survive or not. If I think something is too
risky, I won’t do it.”
‘Too risky’ in Baker’s language is, of course, to-
tally different to my or your interpretation. As
he steadies himself for his first descent, a slide
down a fall of around 60 feet, with dangerous
rocks at the bottom, you are left wondering just
how he is going to succeed. In his tiny, 2.2-me-
tere-long ‘eskimo kayak’, the smallest in the
world, Baker begins.
It is all over in a few seconds. He drops, like a
stone, down the fall, and is then forced to his
left and onto a totally different route that he
had planned.
Then he moves downstream to his second chal-
lenge in order to perform an actual free fall.
“The trick here is to punch the water with the
nose of the kayak”, Baker explains. “If you
have a flat landing, it could kill you.”
Barker holds his arm in the air, shoots his
thumb up, and then leaps out into the sky
before falling down and under the river. There
is a second’s silence before he emerges again –
wet, a little bruised, but safe.
“It’s a whole way of life for me”, he explains,
as we climb our way out of the valley and back
to the cars. “It’s not that I go out to impress
anyone, or try to say I’m better. It’s just the
wonderful experience of testing myself against
nature and the elements. And each night I look
162 (044) 390 70 71, (099) 403 36 26
back on a day like today and realise there is
nothing I would rather be doing with myself.”
1. What does the passage suggest about the
two methods Baker uses to kayak down
waterfalls?
A. One is much safer than the other.
B. Both involve free-falling from the top of
the waterfall.
C. One is called ‘extreme kayaking’.
D. Both are very dangerous.
2. Why does Baker enjoy kayaking in the wa-
terfalls on the edge of the Black Mountains?
A. It’s very beautiful there.
B. It offers him a great challenge.
C. He has lived there for 20 years.
D. Kayaking is very easy there.
3. What does “it” mean in the following sen-
tence: “If I am honest, it scares the life out
of me, especially when I start to tip over the
edge and I know there is no turning back.”
A. Baker’s kayak
B. a waterfall
C. extreme kayaking
D. feeling frightened
4. When does Baker feel best about a descent?
A. Before he starts kayaking.
B. At the top of the waterfall.
C. During the descent.
D. When he emerges at the bottom of the
fall.
5. Baker still does extreme kayaking because
A. he doesn’t take any risks.
B. he is always able to work out if a de-
scent is too dangerous.
C. he will do anything no matter how
dangerous it is.
D. he doesn’t care if he survives or not.
6. Baker enjoys his sport because
A. he is very good at it.
B. it impresses other people.
C. it doesn’t scare him at all.
D. he enjoys testing himself.

Task 1.
Read the texts below. Match choices (A–
H) to (1–5). There are two choices you do
not need to use.
MEXICO’S BEST PLACES FOR FAMILY BEACH
HOLIDAYS
Mexico offers a great chance to combine resort
amenities, beautiful beaches, plus cultural
interest. Families love to have a vacation at
beach resorts in Mexico, especially at all-inclu-
sives that offer water sports, kids programmes,
entertainment, and of course meals, snacks,
and drinks. Below find several of Mexico’s best
spots.
1 Mexico’s Best: Mayan Riviera
The 130 km stretch of coast south of Cancun
extending to Tulum is arguably Mexico’s best
destination for family beach holidays. All-in-
clusive resorts dot the coast, with all the usual
amenities plus some elaborate pool complexes.
Outings are terrific: snorkelling on the second
largest barrier reef in the world; visiting the
extensive ruins at Tulum and Coba, where kids
learn about Mayan history; day-trips to the
unique «eco-archeological» theme park, Xcaret,
or sister park Xel-ha, or to «cenotes»... So much
to do.
2 Mazatlan for Families
Moving over to Mexico’s west coast: Mazatlan
has been one of Mexico’s best tourist draws
for decades, and has long stretches of beach,
a historic downtown, a busy tourist zone, an
aquarium, water park, and reputation for sport
fishing. Families can find a couple of «playas»
(beaches) with calm waters, in other areas,
kids can learn to surf.
(044) 390 70 71, (099) 403 36 26
www.zno.ua
3 Puerto Vallarta for Families
South of Mazatlan and north of Acapulco,
about mid-way on Mexico’s Pacific coast, Puer-
to Vallarta has nearly 30 miles of golden sand.
Watersports include snorkelling and surfing,
plus kayaking, windsurfing, parasailing, sport-
fishing. Visitors can explore an old town with
cobblestone streets, and ogle the mansions that
belonged to Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Bur-
ton back in the days when they put «PV» on the
map. Jungle and canopy tours are nearby.
4 Riviera Nayarit
Until recently, the stretch of Mexico’s west
coast north of Puerto Vallarta was an off the-
beaten-path area where surfers might go for
an unspoiled break. Now, this 130-mile stretch
of coast and lush tropics is called the Riviera
Nayarit, and more visitors are coming to enjoy
its white-sand beaches, many of which have
good surfing. Some resorts have been built, but
development is still at an early stage — which
may be just what some families want. (And you
can find serious pampering, plus kids’ club, at
the Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita.)
5 Los Cabos
The long Baja California peninsula extends
about half-way down the west side of Mexico,
and at the bottom tip sits this popular vacation
spot. Los Cabos has two «Cabos» («Capes»):
San Jose del Cabo, and (the party town) Cabo
San Lucas, connected by a 17-mile «Corridor»
with resorts and golf courses. Los Cabos offers
whale-watching in winter; some good snor-
kelling; horse-riding; and sightseeing in the
artists’ town of Todos Santos. Currents can be
strong at the beaches, so choose your resort
carefully if you want a swimmable beach.
6 Merida
Kids interested in the «lost» Maya civilization
will be delighted to find the culture thriving
in a modern city. The zocalo is always a spot

of family activity, and the city sponsors night-
ly cultural events around the historic centre,
from traditional Yucate can dancing to guitar
trovas (trios) to folkloric ballet to serenades;
every Sunday, downtown streets close for a full
day of concerts, feasts, puppet shows and danc-
ing. The anthropology museum, in the ornate
Palacio Canton, is small enough to keep kids
engaged with its displays of limestone jaguars,
skulls with jade-encrusted teeth, stelae and
sacrificial instruments.
This place is ideal if____
A. you want to indulge in the world of nation-
al music and dancing.
B. you are crazy about fishing.
C. you are a very skilful swimmer and aren’t
afraid of a strong water tide.
D. your task is to learn about the race of

Dear Emily,

I am sorry I haven’t written for such a long time but I was very busy with my exams. How are you?
I like your choice to be an actress. I know that you are very talented and you’ll become a famous
actress.

As for my plans I always wanted to be a singer. You know that I love singing. Unfortunately I often
have a sore throat, and the doctor said that it was impossible. So, I decided to be a teacher of Eng-
lish. I study English and German and I also like singing.

To be ready for my future profession, firstly, I listen to English songs and watch English movies.
Secondly, I learn words when I’m walking along the street or even cycling. However, the most
important thing is language practice. I try to speak to native speakers if I have such an opportunity
wherever I am.

If I want to be a successful teacher I have to be communicative. Moreover, I must love children and
love to work with them and, of course, I have to understand children’s behavior.

Sorry, I have to finish as my mom asked me to help her. Hope to hear from you soon. Drop me a
line, please. Give my regards to your family.

Best wishes,
Anna

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to express my strong dissatisfaction at the disgraceful treatment I received at the Wal-
ford branch of Stimpson`s Electronics yesterday afternoon.

Firstly, the product I was given was not the model I had asked for. The new X-401 calculator was
demonstrated to me be the sales assistant, and I agreed to buy it. However, on unpacking my pur-
chase, I saw that I had been given the smaller X-201 model instead.

Furthermore, this calculator was much cheaper than the model I requested and paid for. It did not
have many of the features I needed and was much more basic than the one I was shown.

To make matters worse, I was deeply offended by the behaviour of the sales assistant when I went
back to the shop to complain. He was not only impolite, but also unhelpful. He refused to contact
the manager when I asked to speak to him about the incident.

As you can imagine, I am extremely upset. I must insist on a full refund, in addition to a written
apology from the local manager, or else I will be forced to take further action. I expect to hear from
you as soon as possible.

Yours faithfully,
Caroline Adams

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing with regard to an article that appeared in your newspaper recently. This article
claimed that computer games are a waste of teenager`s time and lead to crime. I strongly disagree
with this point of view.

First of all, it is not true that all computer games are violent. Many games, including sports games,
puzzle games and adventure games, contain no violence. In fact, some of these games can be very
educational.

Secondly, there is no proof that playing video games leads to an increase in the crime rate. Most
young people who play these games are normal, honest teenagers.

Finally, the writer of the article calls for a ban on these games. In my view, this would be a mis-
take. Instead, we should educate young people about the problems of a small number of these
games.

I would be grateful if you would consider the information I mentioned. I look forward to hearing
other readers` views.

Yours faithfully,
James Powell

Mobile phones at school

Nowadays, more and more students bring their

mobile phones to school. While I believe that
students should carry mobile phones in case of
an emergency, I am strongly opposed to phones
being used at school, particularly in the class-
room.

Firstly, many students travel to and from

school without their parents. Therefore, it is
important for them to have a mobile phone in
case they need help or have an accident on the
way to school or home.

Furthermore, parents who work may need to

contact their children. For example, if a parent
has to work late, the student has to be told if
arrangements have been made for a relative or
neighbor to look after them.

On the other hand, nothing is more disruptive

during a lesson than the sound of a mobile
phone ringing or playing an annoying tune.
Moreover, students who send and receive text
messages in class are not paying attention to
the lesson.

In conclusion, I feel that students should be

allowed to take mobile phones to school for use
in an emergency. However, all phones should
certainly be turned off during lessons.
