Ромео и Джульетта - величайшая история любви всех времён.




С момента изобретения кино в 1894 году, Ромео и Джульетта была одной из самых популярных историй в фильмах. Многочисленные фильмы были основаны на известной истории любви Шекспира, самый первый появился в 1900. Многие режисёры брали эту известную пьесу и снимали фильм, пытаясь сохранить темы оригинальной истории.

Одним из них является фильм База Лурманна. Его версия Ромео и Джульетты, была снята в 1996 году, является оригинальной, постмодернистской версией трагической истории любви Шекспира.

С этим чрезвычайно успешным фильмом, Лурманну удалось обновить историю - путем объединения современного места действия и персонажей с почти оригинальными репликами. История происходит в Майами. Изменения в языке, вместе с драматическими перестрелками и страстными любовными сценами, сделали сюжет более доступным для современной аудитории.

В версии фильма Лурманна, главные герои, Ромео (Леонардо ди Каприо) и Джульетта (Клэр Дэйнс), подростки Майами из девяностых. Даже если место действия фильма очень нетрадиционно, он содержит все темы оригинальной версии, поэтому это не меняет историю.

Билет № 12 1.Чтениe IT’S ONLY ME After her husband had gone to work, Mrs Richards sent her children to school and went upstairs to her bedroom. She was too excited to do any housework that morning, because in the evening she would be going to a fancy dress party with her husband. She intended to dress up as a ghost and she had made her costume the night before. Now she was impatient to try it on. Though the costume consisted only of a sheet, it was very effective. Mrs Richards put it on, looked in the mirror, smiled and went downstairs. She wanted to find out whether it would be comfortable to wear. Just as Mrs Richards was entering the dining-room, there was a knock on the front door. She knew that it must be the baker. She had told him to come straight in if ever she failed to open the door and to leave the bread on the kitchen table. Not wanting to frighten the poor man, Mrs Richards quickly hid in the small store-room under the stairs. She heard the front door open and heavy footsteps in the hall. Suddenly the door of the store-room was opened and a man entered. Mrs Richards realized that it must be the man from the Electricity Board who had come to read the meter. She tried to explain the situation, saying 'It's only me', but it was too late. The man let out a cry and jumped back several paces. When Mrs Richards walked towards him, he ran away, slamming the door behind him.

Чтение MANUSCRIPTS When Martin Eden returned to San Francisco, he began to write. He sent his works to newspapers and magazines, but the editors sent his manuscripts back. Martine continued to write and study at the same time. Martine slept five hours: only a man in very good health could work for nineteen hours a day. The weeks passed. All Martin’s money was spent and publishers continued to send his manuscripts back. Martin sold his coat, then his watch. One morning the postman brought him a short thin envelope. There was no manuscript in that envelope, therefore, Martin thought they had taken the story. It was The Ring of the Bells. In the letter the editor of a San Francisco magazine said that the story was good. They would pay the author five dollars for it. And he would receive the check when the story was published. Martin thought that five dollars for five thousand words was very little. After a few weeks the story was published, but the check didn’t` arrive. Martin had waited for about a month before he decided to go and get the five dollars from the editor. He entered the office and said that he wanted to see Mr Ford – the editor. “I`m Martin Eden,” Martin began the conversation. He wanted to ask for his five dollars, but it was his first editor and he didn’t` t want to make a bad impression on him. To his surprise Mr Ford quickly stood up with the words “You don` t say so!” and the next moment, with both hands was shaking Martin`s hand. by Jack London РУКОПИСИ Когда Мартин Иден вернулся в Сан-Франциско, он начал писать. Он посылал свои работы в газеты и журналы, но редакторы возвращали рукописи обратно. Мартин продолжал писать и учиться в одно и то же время. Мартин спал по пять часов: только человек с очень хорошим здоровьем может работать в течение девятнадцати часов в день. Прошли недели. Все деньги Мартина были потрачены, и издатели продолжали посылать его рукописи обратно. Мартин продал пальто, потом часы. Однажды утром почтальон принес ему небольшой тонкий конверт. Рукописи в конверте не было, поэтому, Мартин думал, что они приняли рассказ. Это был «Колокольный звон». В письме редактор журнала Сан-Франциско сказал, что рассказ хороший. Они заплатят автору пять долларов за него. И он получит чек, когда рассказ будет опубликован. Мартин подумал, что пять долларов за пять тысяч слов это очень мало. Через несколько недель рассказ был опубликован, но чека не было. Мартин ждал около месяца, прежде чем он решил пойти и получить пять долларов у редактора. Он вошел в кабинет и сказал, что он хотел бы видеть мистера Форда - редактора. "Я- Мартин Иден", начал разговор Мартин. Он хотел попросить пять долларов, но он был его первым редактором, и не хотел произвести плохое впечатление на него. К его удивлению мистер Форд быстро встал со словами " Да что вы!» И в следующий момент, обеими руками пожал руку Мартина..

Билет № 14 1. Чтение FLIGHT For many centuries people watched birds and dreamed that they could fly. We cannot fly like birds: we don`t have enough strength in our arms to move wings up and down. We also really need the power of an engine to drive up forward. Many people died learning these lessons, before controlled flight became possible. The first flying machine which could carry a human being was built in Spain in 875. Reports tell us that the inventor flew some distance, but the landing was hard: the man hurt his back badly and was never able to fly again. It was possible that the news of his flight reached England, carried there by men returning from war in the Middle East. Whether this is true or not, in 1010 a man called Oliver jumped off a church roof in Mulmesbury. This time we know the distance of his flight - 125 steps. In the last years of the 15th century, the Italian Leonardo da Vinci studied the flight of birds and made a number of drawings of flying machines. His early machines tried to copy the movement of birds` wings, which he didn’t fully understand. But less than 10 years before his death in 1519, he drew a machine with wings that didn’t move. One of the machines was built and it did fly. In 1536 in France, Denis Bolor returned to the idea of moving wings. He tried to fly using wings that were moved up and down. The idea didn’t` t work and he fell to his death. Inventions That Changed the World Полёт На протяжении многих веков люди наблюдали птиц и мечтали, что они смогут летать. Мы не можем летать, как птицы. У нас нет достаточной силы в наших руках, чтобы двигать крыльями вверх и вниз. Также нам действительно нужна сила двигателя, чтобы подняться вверх. Многие люди погибли в результате полученного опыта, прежде, чем стал возможным управляемый полет. Первая летающая машина, которая смогла поднять человека была изобретена в Испании в 875. Отчеты говорят нам, что изобретатель прилетел некоторое расстояние, но посадка была трудной: человек повредил очень сильно спину и никогда больше не летал. Известие о полете долетело до Англии, перенеся мужчин, которые вернулись с войны на Ближнем Востоке. Правда или нет, в 1010 году человек по имени Оливер спрыгнул с крыши церкви в Мальмсбери. В этот раз мы знаем расстояние его полета - 125 шагов. В последние годы 15-го века, итальянец Леонардо да Винчи изучал полет птиц и сделал ряд рисунков летательных аппаратов. В своих первых аппаратах он попытался скопировать движения крыльев птиц, которые он не мог понять в полной мере. Но менее чем за 10 лет до его смерти в 1519 году, он нарисовал машину с крыльями, которые не двигались. Одна из машин была сконструирована и летала. В 1536 во Франции, Денис Болор вернулся к идее движения крыльев. Он пытался летать при помощи крыльев, которые двигались вверх и вниз. Идея не сработала, и он упал и разбился на смерть.

She had her own shop where she sold bread, both fresh and stale which was cheaper. There was a customer who called at her shop two or three times a week. The man was not young but he was very pleasant. He wore cheap clothes but they always looked nice on him. He always bought stale bread and never fresh. Miss Martha decided that he was very poor. She often thought of him and was always sorry that she couldn’t invite him to have dinner with her. She wanted to talk to him, to know more about him. She liked the man and began wearing her best dress. She wanted to help the poor man but didn’t know how to do it. Once when her customer called on her to buy stale bread, Miss Martha had an idea and a good one, as she thought, to help him. She put some butter in the stale bread. The next day two men came into the shop. One of them was her customer and the other – a young man. The customer was very angry and couldn’t speak to her. So the young man told Miss Martha everything. “We work together in the same office”, he said. “We use stale bread to take away to pencil lines from our plans. We have worked at a plan of a new district for six months. We finished it this morning and began taking away pencil lines from it with your bread. You see, as there was butter in the bread the plan is good for nothing, and we can’t show this plan to anybody now.” When the men left, Miss Martha went to her room, took off her best dress and put on her old one. O`Henry   ХЛЕБ НАСУЩНЫЙ Мисс Марте было 40 лет, но она не была замужем. У нее был собственный магазин, где она продавала хлеб, свежий и чёрствый, который был дешевле. У неё был покупатель, который приходил в магазин два - три раза в неделю. Человек не был молод, но был очень приятным. Он носил дешевую одежду, но она всегда выглядела на нём опрятно. Он всегда покупал черствый хлеб и никогда не покупал свежий. Мисс Марта решила, что он был очень беден. Она часто думала о нем и всегда жалела, что не может пригласить его на ужин. Она хотела поговорить с ним, чтобы узнать побольше о нем. Она полюбила этого человека и начала носить своё лучшее платье. Она хотела помочь бедному человеку, но не знала, как это сделать. Однажды, когда ее покупатель позвал её, чтобы купить чёрствый хлеб, у мисс Марты появилась, как она думала, хорошая идея, чтобы помочь ему. Она положила немного масла в черствый хлеб. На следующий день двое мужчин пришли в магазин. Один из них был ее покупателем, а другой - молодой человек. Покупатель был очень зол и не мог говорить с ней. Таким образом, молодой человек рассказал мисс Марте все. "Мы работаем вместе в одной конторе», сказал он. "Мы используем черствый хлеб, чтобы вытирать линии от карандаша на наших планах. Мы работали над планом нового района в течение шести месяцев. Мы закончили его сегодня утром и начали убирать карандашные линии при помощи крошек хлеба. Вы видите, так как в хлебе было масло, план никуда не годится, и мы не можем теперь показать этот план никому". Когда мужчины ушли, мисс Марта пошла в свою комнату, сняла своё лучшее платье и надела старое.

We all know that Christmas is a religious holiday which marks the birth of Jesus Christ. But did you also know that some of the traditions are adapted from rituals dating back to the time before Christianity? Many pagan peoples regarded the winter solstice as a time of celebration. Anticipating the return of spring, people decorated their homes with evergreen plants, a symbol of eternal life. Mistletoe was especially popular, as it was believed to have magic powers. People hung sprigs of mistletoe in their homes and kissed beneath them as a gesture of friendship. At pagan festivals there was also a lot of singing and dancing going on – “dancing in a circle” is the original meaning of the word “carol”. Still now we keep these traditions up: we sing Christmas carols and dance around in circles, we kiss beneath the mistletoe and we decorate our homes with Christmas trees. By the way, did you know that it was a German who set the trend of decorating Christmas trees in England? It was Prince Albert, Queen Victoria’s husband. When he moved to England, Christmas trees had already been popular in continental Europe, but not in England. In 1841, Prince Albert put up a Christmas tree at Windsor Castle. The event was reported in the press; and as the whole country was very keen on the royal family, people enthusiastically took up the custom of decorating a tree at Christmas. Рождество, пожалуй, самое праздничное время года, сезон подарков и празднований. Мы все знаем, что Рождество является религиозным праздником, который знаменует рождение Иисуса Христа. Но вы также знаете, что некоторые традиции взяты из ритуалов, которые были до христианства? Многие языческие народы считали время зимнего солнцестояния временем празднования. Встречая приход весны, люди украшали свои жилища вечнозелеными растениями, символами вечной жизни. Омела была особенно популярна, так как считалось, что имеет волшебные свойства. Люди вешали веточки омелы в своих домах и целовались под ними знак дружбы. В языческих праздниках было также много песен и танцев - "танцы в хороводе" первоначально означало значение слова "гимн". Тем не менее в настоящее время мы продолжаем эти традиции: мы поем колядки и танцуем хороводы, мы целуемся под омелой и украшаем наши дома елкой. Кстати, знаете ли вы, что первым, кто установил тенденцию украшать рождественские елки в Англии, был немец? Это был принц Альберт, супруг королевы Виктории. Когда он переехал в Англию, елки уже были популярны в континентальной Европе, но не в Англии. В 1841 году, принц Альберт поставил елку в Виндзорском Дворце. О событии было сообщено в прессе; и так как вся страна была очень интересовалась королевской семьёй, люди с энтузиазмом приняли обычай украшать ёлку на Рождество.     1.This is a non-fiction story. 2.It introduces us with the history of Christmas. 3.At the beginning of the text the author tells us about pagan customs to celebrate the return of spring, when people sang and danced in circles. 4.Now people sing Christmas carols and dance around in circles and kiss beneath the mistletoe. 5.Christmas is the most festive time of the year. 6.Prince Albert, Queen Victoria’s husband was the first who brought the tradition to decorate homes with Christmas trees in England. 7.I like this story because it’s interesting.

Sometimes, wearing a tattoo can be a sign that you belong to a certain group. Gangs often use special clothes and tattoos to identify their particular group. For example, in one gang all the members may wear green army jackets and have large 'Xs' tattooed on their arms. It is not only gangs that have this type of special 'uniform'. Young people often belong to a certain group of friends. For example, some wear only black clothes. Others wear tattoos. When a person's friends are all doing something, such as getting a tattoo, that person is more likely to do the same thing, and get a tattoo too. The media is another big influence behind the popularity of tattoos in North America. A wide variety of media images show tattoos. Famous sports heroes with tattoos are shown in magazines. Fashion models are often seen in magazines and on TV wearing designer clothes that show their bodies tattooed with detailed and colourful patterns. These media images link tattoos to ideas of wealth, success, and status. As a result, many people decide to get a tattoo for its fashion and status value. It is not always the influence of other people or the media that results in a person getting a tattoo. Many people decide to wear tattoos in order to express their artistic nature, their beliefs, or their feelings - in other words, to show their individuality. A musician in a rock band may get a tattoo of a guitar on the arm. Some environmentalists may tattoo pictures of endangered animals on their shoulders. Lovers may tattoo each others' names over their hearts. A tattoo can be a public sign to show what is important in a person's life.   Почему люди делают татуировки Желание быть частью группы, быть принятым своими друзьями или коллегами, могут иметь большое влияние на то, что человек делает. Иногда, ношение татуировки может быть признаком того, что вы принадлежите к определенной группе. Банды часто используют специальную одежду и татуировки, чтобы определить их конкретную группу. Например, в одной банды все члены могут носить зеленые армейские куртки и имеют большой "крест" -татуировку на руках. Не только банды имеют это как тип специальной 'униформы'. Молодые люди часто принадлежат к определенной группе друзей. Например, некоторые носят только черную одежду. Другие носят татуировки. Когда друзья все делают что-то, например, татуировку, то человек, скорее всего сделает то же самое, и сделает татуировку тоже. СМИ имеют еще большее влияние в популяризации татуировок в Северной Америке. Широкое разнообразие медиа изображений отражают татуировки. Известные спортивные герои с татуировками изображаются в журналах. Модных моделей часто видят в журналах и на ТВ, одетых в дизайнерскую одежду, которые показывают свои тела с татуировками с подробными и красочными узорами. Эти медиа -образы делают татуировки признаком богатства, успеха и статуса. В результате, многие люди решают сделать татуировку, чтобы быть модными и подчеркнуть свой статус. Не всегда влияние других людей или средств массовой информации приводит к тому, что человек делает татуировку. Многие люди решают носить татуировки, чтобы выразить свой творческий характер, свои убеждения, или свои чувства, - иными словами, чтобы показать свою индивидуальность. Музыкант в рок-группе может сделать татуировку с гитарой на плече. Некоторые экологи могут делать татуировку изображения исчезающих видов животных на плечах. Влюблённые могут делать татуировку имён друг друга на их сердцах. Татуировка может иметь публичный знак, чтобы показать, что важно в жизни человека. 1.The title of the text is WHY PEOPLE GET TATTOOS. 2.The author gives us the reasons why people get tattoos. 3.Gangs often use special clothes and tattoos to identify their particular group. 4.Young people often belong to a certain group of friends and wear tattoos. 5.The media is another big influence behind the popularity of tattoos. 6.Fashion models often show their bodies tattooed with detailed and colourful patterns. 7.Some environmentalists may tattoo pictures of endangered animals. 8.Lovers may tattoo each others' names. 9.To sum it up I should say that any people decide to wear tattoos in order to show their individuality. 10.I like this text because it’s interesting.

Чтение THE SPIDER Have you ever seen a small animal with four pairs of legs, a body that is divided into two parts? This is a spider. Spiders live all over the world. They do not live only in the coldest places. You may find them on land: on grass, bushes, trees, and on pools, rivers, seas. There are 15,000 different kinds of spiders. The smallest spider is less than 1 mm in body length, and the biggest one can have body length up to 90 mm. The spider spins its web to catch insects for food. It spins its web all its life. The process of spinning a web is very long. People say that the spider is very persistent in its work. If you destroy its web, a spider will begin to spin a new web. There is a story about a spider and a Scottish hero Robert Bruce (1274-1329). Robert Bruce was at the head of the Scottish army in the fight for the independence of Scotland against the English kings, Edward the First and Edward the Second. Once Robert Bruce was watching a spider spinning the web. Robert Bruce destroyed the web, and the spider began to spin a new web. Several times Robert Bruce destroyed the web, and each time the spider began its work from the beginning. Watching the persistent work of the spider, Bruce decided to be as persistent as the spider and continue the fight for the independence of Scotland. And he defeated the English. It was many years ago, but Scottish people still remember their great victory, and their great leader Robert Bruce. First Science   ПАУК Видели ли вы когда-нибудь маленькое животное с четырьмя парами ног, телом, которое разделено на две части? Это паук. Пауки живут по всему миру. Они не живут только в самых холодных местах. Вы можете найти их на земле: на траве, кустах, деревьях, и в бассейнах рек, морей. Есть 15000 различных видов пауков. Самый маленький паук менее 1 мм в длину, и самый большой может иметь длину тела до 90 мм. Паук плетёт свою паутину, чтобы поймать насекомых для пищи. Он плетёт свою паутину всю жизнь. Процесс прядения паутины очень долгий. Люди говорят, что паук очень настойчив в своей работе. Если вы уничтожите паутину, паук начнет прясть новую паутину. Существует история о пауке и шотландском герое Роберте Брюсе (1274-1329). Роберт Брюс возглавлял шотландскую армию в борьбе за независимость Шотландии против английских королей, Эдуарда Первого и Эдуарда Второго. Однажды Роберт Брюс наблюдал, как паук плетёт паутину. Роберт Брюс разорвал паутину, и паук начал плести новую сеть. Несколько раз Роберт Брюс рвал паутину, и каждый раз паук начинал свою работу с самого начала. Наблюдая за упорной работой паука, Брюс решил быть стойким, как паук, и продолжить борьбу за независимость Шотландии. И он победил англичан. Это было много лет назад, но шотландцы до сих пор помнят свою большую победу и их великого лидера Роберта Брюса.

He had travelled sixty miles to Liverpool and back on business, and was very tired. “Look what I have brought you!” he said. His children, Catherine and Hindley, were expecting presents and they rushed eagerly to see what it was. They were very disappointed to see only a dirty, black-haired gipsy child. “I found him all alone in the busy street of Liverpool”, MrEarnshaw explained to them, “and I couldn’t leave him to die. He can sleep in your room, children.” But Catherine and Hindley were very angry because they hadn` t received any presents, and refused to let the strange child share their room. However, MrEarnshaw insisted and, and little by little the boy became accepted by the family. He was called Heathcliff, as a first and last name. No one ever discovered who his parents were. Catherine and he became great friends, but Hindley hated him, and was often cruel to him. Old MrEarnshaw was strangely fond of that gipsy child, and frequently punished his son for behaving badly to Heathcliff. Hindley began to be jealous to his father’s feelings for Heathcliff, and saw them both as enemies. This situation couldn’t last. As MrEarnshaw grew old and ill, Heathcliff became even more his favourite, and Hindley often quarrelled with father. When Hindley was sent away to study, everybody hoped that they would have peace in the house.     Однажды г-н Эрншо вернулся из долгого путешествия.
