| Hi, Jessica! Guess what! I am not unemployed any more! I am e-mailing you to tell you about my new job at an architectural consultancy firm. As you remember, I hold a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from Nosov Magnitogorsk State Technical University and can apply for a job in a construction firm. So I’ve found a good one. Three weeks ago I sent them my CV and a letter of appliance, had a job interview and now I am working here. I’ve been working in the design department since I started. The atmosphere among the staff is really relaxed and everyone wears casual clothes like jeans and trainers. We even call supervisor by her first name! We have lots of coffee breaks too – in fact, I think I’ve been drinking too much coffee! This is a full time job, so I am excited. I’ve been getting up every day at seven o’clock – and you know how much I hate getting up early! The time passes really quickly, however, because there is a lot to do. This week I’ve been working on a new project of a residential building. We work as a team, so it is important to get on well with the other people in the department. The only thing which I don’t like here is the necessity to work overtime. When you work overtime, you have less spare time and can’t relax and push into the background all the problems, though compensation for staff who work overtime is flexible. What about you? Have you been studying hard for your degree? Why don’t we go out next weekend? I want to celebrate the payment of my first salary. I will be in my account on Friday, and we have the day off on Monday because it’ a bank holiday. Let me know which day is best for you. I am writing this at home because it is Sunday. Luckily, I don’t work at weekends! Contact me soon. Ivan | 1. What is Ivan’s new job? 2. Where does he study? 3. When does he get up? 4. What doesn’t he like about his job? 5. When and why does he want to his first salary? | a) the state of being out of work _________________ b)the 1st degree at a university __________________ c) cause strong feeling __________________ d)time spent in working after the regular hours __________________ e)show that an event is important by doing something __________________ |

| Here are 20 things you did not know about Russia. Here we’ll mention some of them. 1. Its greatest museum - The Hermitage, in St Petersburg - is home to around 70 cats, which guard its treasures against rodents. The tradition dates back to a 1745 decree of Empress Elizabeth, the daughter of Peter the Great, founder of St. Petersburg. The museum also has almost 14 miles of marbled corridors. 2. Subbotnik is the day when residents of Russian cities volunteer to sweep up and tidy the streets. It started after the revolution but still happens today. 3. The name Red Square has nothing to do with communism, but derives from the word "krasnyi", which once meant "beautiful". 4. There is a bronze sculpture of a dog with a shiny nose at PloshchadRevolutsii metro station - it is shiny because it's good luck to touch it. 5. That isn't the only sculpture of a dog in Russia - there's also this monument to Laika, the hound that went to space in 1957. 6. Giving flowers to residents can be a delicate point of etiquette. You should always make sure you give them in odd numbers, unless going to a funeral, when even numbers are the rule. 7. In St. Petersburg, next to the bridge to reach the Peter and Paul Fortress, is a statue of a hare which commemorates the large number of hares that used to live on the island, and their battle against the floods that plagued the city during the 18th and 19th centuries. It's considered good luck to hit it with a coin. 8. Moscow's underground is perhaps the world's most beautiful. 9. There's a restaurant in Moscow staffed entirely by twins. 10. It's not all tundra and taiga - you can go trekking on volcanoes. 11. It has more time zones (11) than any other country. 12. Vasilevskiy Island in St Petersburg offers a bizarre selection of attractions, including a pair of 15th-century sphinxes from Egypt on the river side and a museum of biological oddities where you can see the skeleton and heart of Peter the Great’s gigantic personal servant. 13. It is home to Europe’s longest river, the Volga, at 3,690km (2,293 miles). It has more than 200 tributaries that, if counted with the main river, would add up to 357,000km (221,800 miles). 14. Around 10,000 British tourists visit the country each year, and over 90 per cent of them go only to Moscow and/or St Petersburg. 15. It is home to the coldest inhabited place on the planet - Oymyakon. On February 6, 1933, a temperature of −67.7 °C was recorded at its weather station | 1. Who guards the Hermitage? 2. Why is the main Russian square “red”? 3. What can you see next to the bridge to reach the Peter and Paul Fortress? 4. What are Europe’s longest rivers? 5. How many British tourists visit the country each year? | a)a building in which objects of all kinds are collected and displayed _________________ b)a person who lives in a place permanently _________________ c)the rules of behavior among polite people _________________ d)keep or honour the memory of somebody or something _________________ e)one hundred years __________________ |
