(Reading to overall meaning.)

A trip to the Geyser Valley.

Kamchatka is a peninsula of 470 sq. km. (about the size of Japan) washed by the Pacific Ocean and the Bering and Okhotskoe Seas. It is a spectacular region of ice, fire and wildlife. The region includes Karaginsky Island and the Commander Archipelago. The mountain ridges Sredinny, Valaginsky, Ganalsky and Kumroch stretch from the North to the South giving the peninsula the shape of a giant fish.

In 1990 the Kamchatka Peninsula was opened to the world. Before 1990 it was known to

westerners as a closed military area. Nowadays tourists can ski, bathe in hot volcanic springs, go river rafting, go rock climbing, see salmon spawning, watch geysers erupt and see sea lions and caribou in their natural environment. Fishing, hunting and photo safaris are also very popular.

The annual festival of the Kamchatka indigenous people is well worth seeing. These people are reviving their culture and history with performances of native Itelmen and Koryak dances, songs and rituals.

So, if you are tired of the city and you are looking for an exciting holiday in striking, mixed scenery – come to Kamchatka. It's a country that is still being born with 29 active volcanoes out of a total of 160. The volcanoes are part of the great scenery and are responsible for the numerous thermal pools in the area. Also part of the scenery are steaming geysers, mountains, tundra, forests and rugged coastline.

The Passive Voice.

- It's time to work again.

In the text we have met some verbs in the Passive Voice.

Have you studied it at school?

So, let's revise it and do some exercises.

Рассказывая о действиях и событиях, мы употребляли различные грамматические формы в Действительном (Активном) залоге.

Пассивный (cтрадательный) залог потребляется, когда неважно или неизвестно, кто произвел действие. Passive Voice образуется при помощи вспомогательного глагола to be + смысловой глагол в 3 форме. В английском языке он употребляется значительно чаще, чем в русском языке. В русском языке в страдательном залоге употребляются только переходные глаголы (требующие после себя прямое дополнение), а в английском языке как переходные, так и непереходные.

Tense Active Passive
Present Simple Я говорю –

Present Progressive Он помогает –

Past Simple Мы пригласили –
