Shopping

When we want to buy something, we go to a shop. There are many kinds of shops in every town or city, but most of them have a food supermarket, a department store, men’s and women’s clothing stores, a grocery.

I like to do shopping at big department stores and supermarkets. They sell various goods under one roof and this is very convenient.

A department store is composed of many departments: ready – made clothes, fabrics, shoes, sports goods, toys, electric appliances, cosmetics, linen, curtains, cameras, records, etc.

The things for sale are on the counters. You pay for your things to the cashier and get your change.

SHOPPING IN LONDON

John tells us a hit more about shopping in London... " When I visit London one of my favourite things to do is shopping! I really enjoy hunting around for a bargain in the sales, buying something new to wear out on a Saturday night. Or alternatively, a bit of window-shopping — it doesn't cost a penny. Sometimes I'll spend hours just wandering around a market having a chat with my friends.

There are loads of different places to go shopping in London. You can go to Oxford Street, but be warned, it gets too busy sometimes; it can be difficult to go anywhere! Alternatively for a less crowded, more relaxing shopping experience, go to Covent Garden, you can have an expensive cappuccino, and watch some (free) street theatres at the same time.

Some people like shopping in department stores, the most famous one in London is 'Harrods', but for me, it's not modern enough, and too expensive, the sort of place your parents shop. But just down the road is 'Harvey Niсs', much more up-to-date, but not cheap. The best of all the big department stores is 'Selfridges' in Oxford Street, it's a shopper's paradise, nice clothes, and the prices. Well I can look, can't I?

You can also try Camden, it's busy, exciting, trendy, and there are lots of bargains! You can buy cheap jeans and cool second hand clothes in the morning and then get a tattoo and a body piercing later on! If all that shopping is too tiring, you can get some Chinese or Thai food for 2 or 3 pounds, sit by the canal and have a drink. What could be better?

If Camden is not cultured enough, you might prefer a day in Greenwich — a world heritage site. This is a much more relaxing day out. You can have a walk round the market and shops, and then take in a bit of London's history — it was the birthplace of Henry VIII, Queen Mary and Elizabeth I. There's also the park, the 'Cutty Sark' (an old tea clipper ship), the meridian line (where east meets west), and the old observatory... so much to do, but don't forget the shopping! "

Магазины Лондона

Джон рассказывает нам еще немного о магазинах Лондона… «Когда я посещаю Лондон, одно из самых моих любимых занятий - это ходить по магазинам! Я просто получаю удовольствие от охоты на выгодную покупку при распродаже, покупая что-нибудь новое на выход субботним вечером. Или, как альтернатива, рассматриваю витрины магазинов - это ничего не стоит. Иногда я провожу часы, гуляя по рынку и болтая с друзьями. В Лондоне множество разных мест, куда можно пойти за покупками. Можно пойти на Оксфорд стрит, но будьте осторожны, там может быть слишком многолюдно; может быть трудно куда-либо пройти. Как альтернатива меньше народа и более спокойно на Ковент гарден, где можно попить дорогого капуччино и посмотреть бесплатно уличный театр.

Некоторые люди любят делать покупки в больших универмагах, один из самых известных в Лондоне - «Гарродс», но для меня он недостаточно современный и слишком дорогой. А вниз по дороге находится «Харви Никс», намного современнее, но не дешевый. Самый лучший из всех универмагов – это «Селфридж» на Оксфорд стрит, торговый рай с красивой одеждой и ценами.

Также можно попробовать Камден, шумный, волнующий, трендовый, где можно совершить много выгодных покупок. Можно купить дешевые джинсы и классную одежду «секонд хэнд» утром и затем позже сделать тату и пирсинг! А если шопинг слишком утомительный, можно взять какую-то китайскую или тайскую еду за 2 или 3 фунта, сесть у канала и выпить. Что может быть лучше?

Если Кэмден не достаточно культурное место, можно предпочесть один день в Гринвиче-мировой достопримечательности. Так можно отлично отдохнуть. Можно прогуляться по рынку и магазинам, а затем немного прикоснуться к истории Лондона- это место рождения Генри VIII, королевы Мери и Элизабет I. Здесь также находится парк, »Катти Сарк», проходит линия меридиана( где встречается восток с западом), и старая обсерватория… столько всего…, но не забудьте про магазины!

Speaker 1: Throw away gas or electric cooker. Also throw away salt. Get as many fruit and vegetables as you can. Try to drink as much water as possible as it increases the rate at which you burn calories. Cut out soda and limit fruit juices, most of which are high calorie. Carry on normal work. I followed diet continuously for six months. In the end I lost 23kg. I did morning walks, cycling, but no other physical exercise.

Speaker 2: You should know there is no safe way to lose weight quickly, the mistake is if you lose weight very quickly, you will be a lot less likely to keep it off. So, definitely try to lose weight gradually, but don’t plan on losing overnight. This is the most important and the first aspect of getting your perfect body shape. If you have a lot of weight to lose, try for 5 pounds, relax a bit, then go foe 5 more.

Speaker 3: The first thing I would suggest is to believe in yourself and love yourself. The key to weigh loss is simple – you should burn more than you take in! Walk the dog, join a health club, take up jogging. Whatever you do, you’ve got to move your body as much as possible if you want to lose weight.

Leisure time

When we have time for leisure, we usually need something that can amuse and interest us. There are several ways to do this.

People use radio or television or computers. They switch them on and choose the programme they like best. Some people like music. They listen to various concerts of modern and old music, new and old songs and see dances. Those who are fond of sports listen to or watch football and hockey matches. These are the most popular kinds of sports. There are a lot of fans among people. Everybody likes to see skating and dancing on the ice. Radio, television and computer extend our knowledge about the world in which we live. Television and computer helps us to ‘ visit’ different lands, see new plants, animals, unusual birds, fish, insects, mountains and valleys, lakes, rivers and seas.

If you want to go out, there are a lot of cinemas, theatres, museums and clubs where we can spend our free time.

It goes without saying that there are many interesting ways in which leisure time can be spent.

UNIVERSITY CELEBRATES

One of the world's leading universities has just begun to celebrate its 800th anniversary.

Cambridge University, in the UK, was founded in 1209. On 17th January it held a special outdoor celebration to launch a year of events marking its 800th birthday.

The University was founded by scholars from another English university, Oxford. Nobody is exactly sure why they moved to Cambridge. One record shows it happened when two Oxford scholars were arrested and then convicted of murdering a local woman. Other students protested their arrest by leaving the university and going to other towns. It was a group of these scholars that set up a university in Cambridge.

Originally only men were allowed to study at Cambridge. From 1869 women were permitted to study there, but they were not awarded degrees. Women at Cambridge were first awarded degrees in 1947.

Some of the most important discoveries in history have been made by people studying at Cambridge University. The jet engine was invented there. Scientists at Cambridge discovered the structure of human DNA. More than 80 winners of the Nobel Prize, and 15 of Britain's prime ministers, have been graduates of Cambridge University.

Many students from Cambridge University have become famous for becoming among the best in their fields of work. Authors C. S. Lewis, who wrote the Narnia books, and A. A. Milne, who wrote Winnie-the-Pooh, also studied at the university.

On 17th January about 7, 000 people gathered in the centre of Cambridge to watch a light show celebrating the anniversary. Images and illustrations were projected onto one of the famous university buildings, the Senate House. A piece of music containing exactly 800 notes was played from the nearby Great St Mary's Church.

Cambridge is usually ranked among the top five universities in the world for its standard of research and teaching. Today, around 18, 000 students study at Cambridge University.

Университет празднует

Один из ведущих университетов мира только что начал праздновать 800 летие.

Кембриджский университет в Соединенном Королевстве был основан в 1209 году. 17 января проводилось специальное открытое празднование, чтобы открыть год мероприятий, посвященных 800- летию. Университет был открыт учеными другого английского университета, Оксфорда. Никто точно не уверен, почему они переехали в Кембридж. Один документ показывает, что это случилось, когда два Оксфордских ученых были арестованы и они были признаны виновными в убийстве местной женщины. Некоторые студенты протестовали против ареста, уходя из университета, и уезжали в другие города. Это была группа ученых, которые организовали университет в Кембридже.

С самого начала только мужчинам позволялось учиться в Кембридже. С 1869 стали разрешать женщинам учиться, но им не присваивали степени. Впервые женщинам Кембриджа были присвоены звания в 1947.

Некоторые самые важные открытия в истории были сделаны студентами Кембриджского университета. Реактивный двигатель был изобретен здесь. Студенты Кембриджа раскрыли структуру человеческой ДНК. Более 80 победителей Нобелевской Премии, 15 британских премьер- министров являются выпускниками Кембриджского университета.

Многие студенты Кембриджского университета обрели известность, став лучшими в своей области. Авторы Люис, который написал книги о Нарниа, Милн, который написал про Винни-Пуха, также учились в этом университете.

17 января около 7000 людей собрались в центре Кембриджа, чтобы посмотреть шоу празднования годовщины. Изображения и иллюстрации были спроектированы на здания известного университета, Сенат. Фрагмент музыки, состоящий из 800 нот, был сыгран в соседней великой церкви святой Марии.

Обычно Кембридж стоит среди самых лучших 5 университетов мира по исследованию и преподаванию. Сегодня около 18000 студентов учится в Кембриджском университете.

Sara has always wanted to be famous. When she was only four years old, she said to her parents “ I am going to be a star when I grow up.” Her parents laughed. Sara’s dreams were just dreams for years, but now those dreams are coming true, thanks to the power of television.

Sara is lucky: she is an attractive young woman, and she can sing. She has taken singing and dancing lessons since she could walk. When she was seventeen, Sara’s big chance came. She saw an advertisement in a national newspaper. “ Singers wanted for a new musical band. This is going to be bigger than the Spice Girls! “ Sara rang the number straight away. The first audition was in London, and she was there at six o’clock in the morning, practicing her song. She had been to auditions before but this one was different – it was on TV! People all over the country watched Sara singing. She didn’t mind the cameras – she was too excited about being on NV. Sara was the viewer’s favourite.

Some people think that the band will never be successful.” It’s not a real band, ” they say. But Sara isn’t worried about her future. “ I’ m famous now, and it doesn’t matter how I got here. I’m here to stay! ”
