1) Dining out is one of life’s great pleasures. What could be nicer than going to a fancy restaurant with family and friends? Nowadays, there are restaurants to suit every taste, from Indian to Chinese to Thai. The huge variety ensures that friends can easily find somewhere they all want to go for dinner with an exciting difference.
2) To many people, living on a farm, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, would be a dream come true. And in many ways it is. In rural areas, there is plenty of fresh air to breathe and one is never too far from the wonders of nature. On the other hand, schools and work places could be many miles away from where you live.
3) It has recently been proven that pet owners are happier and less anxious than those people who do not have pets. The study has also shown that people with dogs, cats or other animals in their homes may even live longer. It seems that having an animal around has far more advantages than anyone had ever expected.
4) The popularity of home-schooling is increasing in parts of the US and Canada. Years ago, children who lived in isolated rural areas had no choice but to study at home, taught by their parents or a tutor. Times have changed, however, and now there are also children living in cities who do not go to school, but receive their schooling from their parents or online.
5) In some societies, sharing food with others goes hand in hand with friendship. Thanksgiving, a North American holiday, and the dinner which goes along with it, is a good example of this. This holiday originates from the first meal shared by the Native Americans and the white settlers, and has long been a celebration of peace and friendship.
6) The lion, commonly called the King of the Jungle, is a beautiful animal. The male, with his huge mane of fur around his face, is indeed majestic. The female, although she has no mane, is also wonderful in her own way. Lions tend to mate for life, and they raise their young together.
7) City life is not for everyone. Of course, if you live in a big modern city there are lots of opportunities to get a job or find a school for your children. On the other hand, there is a lot of crime in cities and, in addition, pollution from cars and factories is steadily getting worse.

| 1) Sharing a special meal Dining out is one of life’s great pleasures. What could be nicer than going to a fancy restaurant with family and friends? Nowadays, there are restaurants to suit every taste, from Indian to Chinese to Thai. The huge variety ensures that friends can easily find somewhere they all want to go for dinner with an exciting difference. |
Особенная еда вместе Еда в кафе является одним из больших удовольствий в жизни. Что может быть приятнее, чем посещение замечательного ресторана с семьей или друзьями? Сегодня имеются рестораны на любой вкус, от индийского до китайского и тайского. Огромное разнообразие гарантирует, что друзья могут легко найти место, куда пойти поесть, которое великолепно отличалось бы от других. |
|
| 2) Schooling could be difficult To many people, living on a farm, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, would be a dream come true. And in many ways it is. In rural areas, there is plenty of fresh air to breathe and one is never too far from the wonders of nature. On the other hand, schools and work places could be many miles away from where you live. |
Обучение в школе может быть затруднено Для многих людей проживание на ферме вдали от городской суеты является несбыточной мечтой. И во многих случаях так и есть. В сельской местности имеется много свежего воздуха для дыхания и ты не так далеко от красот природы. С другой стороны, школы и место работы могут находиться за много миль от того места, в котором ты живешь. |
|
| 3) Animals help It has recently been proven that pet owners are happier and less anxious than those people who do not have pets. The study has also shown that people with dogs, cats or other animals in their homes may even live longer. It seems that having an animal around has far more advantages than anyone had ever expected. |
Помощь животным Недавно было доказано, что владельцы домашних питомцев более счастливы и менее тревожны, чем те, у кого нет питомцев. Исследование также показало, что люди с собаками, кошками или другими животными в доме могут даже жить дольше. Кажется, что иметь рядом животное имеет более преимуществ, чем кто-либо мог ожидать. |
|
| 4) An educational option The popularity of home-schooling is increasing in parts of the US and Canada. Years ago, children who lived in isolated rural areas had no choice but to study at home, taught by their parents or a tutor. Times have changed, however, and now there are also children living in cities who do not go to school, but receive their schooling from their parents or online. |
Вариант получать образование Популярность домашнего обучения возрастает в некоторым частях США и Канады. Много лет назад у детей, которые жили в изолированных сельских районах, не было иного шанса учиться, кроме как дома, получая образование от родителей или репетитора. Однако, времена изменились, и сегодня есть дети, живущие в городах, которые не ходят в школу, но получают образование от родителей или онлайн. |
|
| 5) A tradition of sharing food In some societies, sharing food with others goes hand in hand with friendship. Thanksgiving, a North American holiday, and the dinner which goes along with it, is a good example of this. This holiday originates from the first meal shared by the Native Americans and the white settlers, and has long been a celebration of peace and friendship. |
Традиция разделять еду В некоторых сообществах разделять еду с другими идет рука об руку с дружбой. Хороший пример этому — День Благодарения, северо-американский праздник и обед, который его сопровождает. Этот праздник происходит от первого приема пищи, разделенного коренными американцами с белыми поселенцами, и уже долгое время является празднованием мира и дружбы. |
|
| 6) Loyal animals The lion, commonly called the King of the Jungle, is a beautiful animal. The male, with his huge mane of fur around his face, is indeed majestic. The female, although she has no mane, is also wonderful in her own way. Lions tend to mate for life, and they raise their young together. |
Преданные (друг другу) животные Лев, обычно называемый Королем джунглей, — это красивое животное. Самец со своей огромной гривой вокруг лица, по-настоящему величественен. Самка, хотя у нее и нет гривы, также удивительна своим образом. Львы обычно спариваются на всю жизнь и заботятся о детенышах вместе. |
|
| 7) Plenty of school places City life is not for everyone. Of course, if you live in a big modern city there are lots of opportunities to get a job or find a school for your children. On the other hand, there is a lot of crime in cities and, in addition, pollution from cars and factories is steadily getting worse. |
Большое количество школ Городская жизнь не для всех. Конечно, если вы живете в большом современном городе, то есть много возможностей найти работу или школу для детей. С другой стороны, в городах большая преступность и, кроме этого, загрязнение от машин и фабрик становится хуже. |

Новое начало
| Jake had been working for the same company for over thirty years. One day, when he was a week away from retiring, his boss said, laughing loudly, “You know you’ll never leave this place. You’ll be working here long after we all leave.” | Джейк проработал в одной и той же компании более тридцати лет. Однажды, когда у Джека оставалась неделя до ухода на пенсию, его начальник сказал, громко смеясь: «Знаешь ли, ты никогда не покинешь это место. Ты будешь работать здесь еще долго даже после того, как мы все уйдем». | |
| Then Jake’s boss left and went down the hall to his office. | Затем начальник Джейка ушел и отправился по коридору в свой кабинет. | |
| Jake’s secretary looked at him and said, “You will really be missed. You did some amazing things for this company.” “I think I will make you a nice cup of tea. I’m sure that will cheer you up a bit.” |
Секретарь Джейка посмотрела не него и сказала: «Вас действительно будет не хватать. Вы сделали такие удивительные вещи для компании». «Я думаю сделать для вас отличную чашку чая. Я уверена, что это вас немного взбодрит». |
|
| Jake thought to himself, “What a nice woman she is, always taking the time to make others feel better.” | Джейк подумал про себя: «Какая замечательная женщина, она всегда находит время, чтобы ободрить других (дословно: заставить других чувствовать себя лучше)» | |
| Jake looked at her and suddenly asked, “Ms Smith, would you like to come for dinner with me next Friday to celebrate my retirement?” | Джейк посмотрел на нее и вдруг спросил: «Госпожа Смит, вы бы хотели пойти со мной на ужин в следующую пятницу, чтобы отметить мой уход на пенсию?» | |
| Ms Smith then said to him that she wasn’t busy that night and that she would love to. Jake smiled and thought that perhaps retirement might not be so bad after all. | Госпожа Смит сказала ему, что в тот вечер незанята и что охотно бы пошла. Джейк улыбнулся и подумал, что, вероятно, пенсия может быть не такой уж и плохой, в конце-то концов. | |

A Dream Come True — Заветная мечта
| To Stella Madison, the date 25 May 2007 would stand out in her mind forever. People remember certain dates for a variety of reasons. Maybe it is because they were promoted, or they got married, or even because they won a lot of money. None of these things, however, was the reason why Stella remembered her red-letter day | Для Стеллы Мэдисон дата 25 мая 2007 года останется в памяти навсегда. Люди помнят определенные даты по разнообразным причинам. Может быть, потому что их продвинули в карьере или они бракосочетались, или даже потому что они выиграли много денег. Однако, ничего подобного не явилось причиной, чтобы для Стеллы данный день стал красным днем в календаре. | |
| On 25 May 2007, Stella graduated from university. Of course, it is not unusual for people to complete university. For Stella, though, it was something truly special because nobody thought she would ever do it. As a young student in primary school, Stella often misbehaved in class and she rarely got good marks on her exams, but she did much better in secondary school. | 25-го мая Стелла окончила университет. Разумеется, для людей нет ничего необычного в том, чтобы окончить университет. Однако, для Стеллы это было поистине нечто особенное, потому что никто не думал, что она когда-либо это сделает. Будучи ученицей начальной школы, Стелла часто вела себя нехорошо в классе, и она редко получала хорошие оценки на экзаменах; но в средней школе ела у нее были гораздо лучше. | |
| Not too long after that Stella got married. She had two children and the years just seemed to fly by. Before Stella knew it, she was almost fifty and had three wonderful grandchildren. Her house was empty, though, and Stella was often sad and alone. Boredom seemed to be her constant companion. | Через некоторое время после этого Стелла вышла замуж. У нее родилось двое детей, и года, казалось, просто пролетали на крыльях. Не успев опомнится, ей исполнилось почти пятьдесят лет и у нее появилось трое замечательных внуков. Однако ее дом был пуст, а Стелла была часто одна и грустила. Казалось, скука была ее постоянным спутником. | |
| One morning Stella woke up and realised she could not face another day with nothing to do but wash the dishes and mop the floors. She contacted the local college and asked about taking classes. The guidance counsellor helped Stella fill in all the application forms and she was accepted at a well-known university in the city. After three years and a lot of very hard work, Stella had done it. On 25 May 2007, she received her degree. | Однажды утром Стелла проснулась и поняла, что она не может больше вынести еще один день, в котором нет ничего кроме мытья посуды и пола. Она связалась с местным колледжем и спросила насчет посещения занятий. Консультант помог Стелле заполнить все бланки заявлений, и она была принята в известный в городе университет. После трех лет обучения и упорной работы Стелла окончила обучение. 25-го мая 2007 года она получила свой диплом. | |
