2) Reading.Read the story First Day at School in Year Five and give titles to the paragraphs (1-8).

First Day at School in Year Five

1. History of Magic was the most boring subject ever. Professor Binns, their ghost teacher, had such a boring voice, that everyone could fall asleep within ten minutes, five in warm weather. He never changed the form of their lessons, but lectured them without pausing. And they took notes or more often looked sleepily into space. Harry and Ron had passed everything in this subject only because they copied Hermione's notes before exams. She alone could resist the sleepy power of Binns's voice. Today they suffered an hour and a half's lecture on the subject of giant’s wars.

2. In the first ten minutes Harry understood that in another teacher's hands this subject could be interesting, but then he spent the hour and twenty minutes playing "Hangman" on a corner of his parchment with Ron. Hermione looked furiously at them out of the corner of her eye. "How will it be," she asked them coldly as they left the classroom for break (Binns disappeared through the blackboard), "if I do not give you my notes this year?" They did not stop arguing all the way down to Snape's dungeon.

3. Harry came into the Potions classroom behind Ron and Hermione and followed them to their usual table at the back, where he sat down between Ron and Hermione. "Settle down," said Snape coldly shutting the door behind him. There was no real need for that; the moment the class had heard the door close, all movements stopped. Snape's presence was usually enough to produce a class's silence. "Today we will be mixing a new potion. The ingredients and method are on the blackboard. You will find everything you need in the cupboard. You have an hour and a half ... Start. "At the end of the lesson Snape said," Fill a flagon with some of your potion, label it clearly with your name and bring it up to my desk for testing. Homework: twelve inches of parchment on moonstones. I want it on Thursday. "

4. Divination was Harry's least favourite class after Potions, because Professor Trelawney spoke of her death every few lessons. A thin woman in shawls and strings of beads, she always reminded Harry of some kind of insect with her huge glasses which made her eyes very big. She was busy putting copies of old books on each of many little tables. When Harry entered the room she did not notice him, because the room was not light with lamps under scarves and the low fire with a strong smell. He took a seat in the shadows. The rest of the class arrived over the next five minutes.

5. "Good day," said Professor Trelawney in her usual dreamy voice. "And welcome back to Divination. You will find on the tables before you copies of the "The Dream Oracle" by Inigo Imago. "Turn, please, to the introduction, and read what Imago says on dream interpretation. Then, divide into pairs. Use the Dream Oracle to interpret each other's latest dreams. Carry on. "By the time they had all finished reading the introduction of the book, they had only ten minutes left for dream interpretation. It was dull work and in the end Professor Trelawney set them the task to keep a dream diary for a month as homework. Harry was not happy about that at all.

6. When they entered the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom they found Professor Umbridge at the teacher's desk. The class was quiet as it entered the room; Professor Umbridge was new and nobody knew yet, how strict she was. "Well, good afternoon!" She said when finally the whole class had sat down. A few people murmured "Good afternoon" in reply. "Tut, tut," said Professor Umbridge. "That will not do, now, will it? I should like you, please, to replay, "Good afternoon, Professor Umbridge." One moretime, please. Good afternoon, class! "" Good afternoon, Professor Umbridge, "they chanted back at her.

7. "There, now," said Professor Umbridge sweetly. "That was not too difficult, was it? Wands away and quills out, please. "Many of the class exchanged dark looks; the order "wands away" had never promised an interesting lesson. "Copy down the following, please," said Professor Umbridge. She touched the blackboard and a message appeared on it:

For a couple of minutes the room was full of the sound of quills writing on parchment. When everyone had copied down, Professor Umbrigte said, "Good. I should like you to turn to page five and read chapter one "Basics for Beginners". There will be no need to talk. "Professor Umbridge left the blackboard and settled herself in the chair behind the teacher's desk observing them all closely with her little eyes.

8. After that they had double Charms. Professor Flitwick spent the first fifteen minutes of their lessons lecturing the class on the importance of OWLs - The exams that they had to sit in June. "We shall be working harder than ever to make sure that you all do well," said little Professor Flitwick, sitting as usual on a pile of books so that he could see over the top of his desk. It was the same, if not worse, in Transfiguration with Professor McGonagall. Now panicking slightly about how much homework they had to do, Harry and Ron spent their lunch hour in the library.
