T: Now I want you to do the task for the texts and prove that the content of these passages is clear for you.
I. Learning Foreign Languages
Learning foreign languages is becoming more and more popular in our country. It helps us to gain a better appreciation of our own language.
It goes without saying that English is the most popular foreign language now. It has become the standard language for all kinds of international communication, a global language, dominating the world's trade, computers and media.
Nowadays English is the most popular foreign language in Russia. If you know English, you can get a better job, more money and people will respect you more. As for young people, they learn English because it expands their horizons and prepares them for a successful career. Besides, English attracts them because it's the language of business and computers. English is also very useful when you travel abroad. More than that, it's a good exercise for the intellect, though, it's a tricky language to learn because there seems to be more exceptions than rules.
Some students think that being able to communicate is the most important in learning a language and they do not care that they make many mistakes in speaking. In my opinion, the efficient language learner should be concerned with communicating. In addition, the good language learner independent, organized and active.
In my opinion, learning foreign languages is extremely useful. I would like to learn English. It will help me to get a job in the tourist industry, as so many people go on holiday to Britain. I would also like to expand my knowledge of British customs and traditions.
I believe that knowledge of foreign languages helps to make a person educated and well-rounded. But you can't broaden your mind if you see the world only from the perspective of your own culture.
English is also the international language of businesspeople, pilots, diplomats and politicians, sportsmen and scientists, doctors and students, musicians and singers.
One of the most attractive professions for young people is an interpreter or a translator. It is very interesting because you work with people, communicate with them learning more about their culture, their national character and improving the foreign language.
To be a good interpreter means to be a highly educated person and to know a lot.
But if you want to be a skilled interpreter you should practice the language daily, reading English newspapers, looking through magazines and speaking with Englishmen.

Teenager David Bolton has just put ?9.000 in the bank - after only six months of part - time job as a computer consultant. The electronics expert from Croydon, South London, is fast establishing a reputation as one of the country's top troubleshooters.
For David, 15, his first steps to fame and fortune began when he was only nine, when his parents bought him a computer. "I soon learned to program it. I needed something bigger, so I had to save for ages to buy an Amstrad". It was only about a year ago, however, that he decided to get serious about computing. He went to night school to learn how to write business programs and did a correspondence course with an American college.
He got in touch with a computer seller, Eltec, who were so impressed they gave them a monthly report saying what he has done and what his plans are.
He helps companies by suggesting which computers they should buy and by writing individual programs for them.
He can work more quickly than many older professionals. In one case, he went to a company where a professional programmer worked for six months and
couldn't find the problem. David finished the job in five days. It is because of work of this standard that in the short period he has been in business. David has made about ?9.000 with it he has bought more equipment. How did he do it? "You have to be ambitious, and you have to really want to get to the top. Believe in yourself, and tell yourself that you are the best".

III. Hero of the Mines
(After K. Prichard)
The mine in the bush was lifeless.
Yesterday the place had been full of men and boys, laughing and talking to each other as they went to work in the mine. Now you could not hear anything. There was tragedy in the air.
"What has happened?" I asked an old miner.
"A boy has been killed in the mine," he said. "Young Ken Mills. A very fine boy. I've known him for a long time."
"How did it happen?"
The old man looked at the skips as they stood on the rail and said, "Those six skips are old and mustn't be used any more. Two back skips tore off and ran down. Ken tried to stop the skips, knowing there were men working there. He jumped in front of the skips to stop them and was killed."
Every miner knows what death means and faces it daily. When a man is killed underground, his comrades stop their work for a day*'But there was more than usual in the way the men of North Wall followed Ken Mills to the cemetery. They knew this boy had given his life for some of them.'
A few days later I went to see the boy's mother.
I saw the strong face of a working woman. Her eyes, strange beautiful eyes, still held the shock of her son's death.
There's always danger in the mines, but I never thought it would get my Kenny. He was so full of life, just eighteen. Such a good-looking boy, tall and strong."
"Everybody says that."
"Why did it have to happen?" asked Mrs. Mills. "Why don't they take better care of boys working in the mines?"
I asked myself the same question.
"I've thought Ken was working too hard," Mrs. Mills went on. "He'd come in, and fall down on a chair to rest, and I'd say: "You're working too much, son."
"If only people knew how hard a miner's life is," I said.
"Yes, the miners are always in danger, and I think that other people will be killed like my boy."
The mine in the bush is working again. Those old black skips still go in the darkness of the mine, and stand out in the sunshine among the trees, when the day's work is done.
The men of North Wall do not forget the boy who was killed because the mine-owners do not take care of people working in the mines. Men's lives are nothing for them. The most important thing for the mine-owners is profits.
This boy's death meant nothing to them.
mine - шахта
tear (tore) - рвать, разрывать
profit ['profit] - прибыль,
death - смерть
skip - опрокидывающаяся вагонетка
cemetery ['semitri] - кладбище
Complete the following sentences using the text:
- Those six skips are old and mustn't:
- Ken tried to stop the skips, knowing:
- He jumped in front of the skips to:
- The miners are always in danger and:
- The most important thing for the mine-owners is:
