D. The speaker describes the dining area.
E. The speaker expresses his admiration of the village.
F. The speaker tells us about his hobbies.
G. The speaker talks about American meal and about preparation for guests.
Speaker 1
When guests arrive, they find a table beautifully decorated with candles and fine china, because a meal is more appetizing when it is served in pleasant surroundings. When guests sit down to eat, they eat heartily, and when it is time to clear the table, they feel good. For many Americans, food that is cooked at home is most scrumptious of all.
Speaker 2
It was a long, narrow, and low-ceiling room of adobe, with white-washed walls, and it had the only plank floor among the town's three eating houses. The tables were neat, the dishes clean, and the food looked good.
Speaker 3
I enjoy reading, visiting my friends around the village and writing to my relatives. I also enjoy playing cricket and football. I enjoy listening to reggae music. The night life is not expensive for a visitor, but not many Dominicans can afford it.
Speaker 4
Everyone knows each other and helps out when needed. Everyone is really friendly, and extremely hard-working. The whole village, from young children to adults, take pride in their surroundings, looking after their own gardens and animals.
Speaker 5
For years now, this city has been my favorite good-time town. I even like to regard myself as something of a city veteran, having visited there regularly over the past decade. It is the city that never sleeps and I am a woman who doesn't seem to sleep much.
Speaker 6
We arrived on Saturday morning after fourteen hours on the bus from Belguim. We stayed at the top hotel. But we arrived and immediately complained about the size of our rooms and our furniture. My wife was unpleased with the toilet room too.

A. An important discovery
B. Expensive discovery
C. Advanced means of transportation
D. Racial discrimination
E. Introduction with strange culture
F. Former Britain's colony
G. East or West home is best
H. Movement is our life
7. The United States is a multicultural country with laws that guarantee fair and equal treatment of all people. However, it is easier for some groups of people to succeed than others. People with racial differences often suffer from unequal treatment. People with different religious backgrounds (Catholics, Jews, and Moslems) may face unfair treatment. And people who speak English with a foreign accent sometimes receive unfair treatment.
8. Fitness in the service of an aesthetic ideal is no difference from athletic competition or prescriptive exercise. Eventually it becomes an obligation rather than an opportunity. We need both a Kinesthetic innocence — the challenge to muscle, nerve, and heart in meeting a new goal.
9. A measure of the energy produced by a given food, the calorie had been discovered more than a century earlier, but the average American knew nothing about it. Atwater, a chemist at. Wesleyan University, was the first advance man for the calorie.
10. When it comes to cellular phones, talk is never cheap. Add the cost of a mobile phone, the average monthly, service charge and fees for outgoing and in coming calls, and you'll easily ring up an annual expense.'
11. Mobility is an essential part of our life and helps unify our world. Air transportation plays a vital role in bringing the peoples of our planet together for face-to-face meetings, for cross-tertilisation of ideas and traditions, and for developing respect of the Earth's cultural and ecological diversity. Despite the challenges ahead, there are unlimited opportunities for regenerating humanity and our world.
12. Glockenspiel and Tannenbaum may be the only German words you know, but many more aspects of German culture will strike a familiar note if you visit any of the markets of the country, during November or December Frankfurt's Christmas market dates back to 1393. This year it runs from 22 November to 21 December.
13. Hong Kong is a city of contrasts, a place where East meets West and ancient tradition meets modern living — the legacy of Britain's 150 years of colonial rule, which ended at midnight on 30 June 1997 when power was returned to the People's republic of China. This is also a city of life where nothing and no one seems to stand still for long.

Mat: What are your styles in hair and clothing in Dublin?
Ron: There are a lot of different styles. The hippy-psychedelic movement has returned, and there are still punks. But one aspect of life in Dublin that I don't like is the fact that some people put you into categories according to the way you dress. There is quite a bit of hostility between the hippies and the punks.
Mat: How about you recreation time? What do you do for fun?
Ron: In my free time I play a lot of soccer. On Saturday nights, I go out with my friends to discos or concerts. The biggest disco in my area is called the 'Grove'. It has been in existence for about twenty years and is still as popular as ever.

Задание № 4
Прочитайте рассказ о Гайд парке в Лондоне и выберите правильный вариант ответа, который соответствует тексту. Занесите ответы в таблицу.
I once took a foreign friend of mine who thought the English a restrained and silent race to Hyde Park Corner on a Sunday morning. With its old, spreading trees, its wide stretches of carefully mown grass and asphalted paths, Hyde Park is like many other London parks, but there is a corner of it, near Marble Arch, the like of which is not to be found any where else in England, or anywhere else in the world for that matter.
Here, on wooden stands and soap-boxed and even on ordinary park chairs (if the park-keeper doesn't spot them) all kinds of men and women stand up and give their views on subjects that range from politics and religion to cures for rheumatism and the best way of getting on with your mother-in-law. When we arrived, a lady of about forty, quite well dressed, was explaining to a knot of onlookers why she had never been understood by her parents, a story that began when she was about five years old. Not far away a dark gentleman with flashing eyes was expounding the principles of some obscure eastern religion.
A century ago this little corner of London's largest park used to be a favourite place for duelling. When it was that Englishmen gave up settling their differences with sword and pistol and decided to use their tongues instead, the historians do not tell us. Probably the tradition became established at the end of the last century, when the great political movements of the time had spread the desire for debate to all classes of the population. Writers differ about the usefulness of Speakers' Corner to democracy. Some regard it as a "safety valve" for releasing discontent, others say the "safety valve" should become a more effective instrument for political action. Certain it is, that Hyde Park Corner shares with Trafalgar Square the honour of being the gathering place for many great meetings of protest against injustice and war.
21. The narrator decided to visit Hyde Park because
1) he was interested in all London parks
2) of his foreign friend
3) it was a Sunday morning
22. People in Hyde Park stand up and give their views on
1) political subjects only
2) various subjects that range from policy to personal conflicts
3) weather forecast
23. A lady about forty tells about
1) her mother-in-law's childhood
2) her relations with her parents
3) well dressed women
24.A century ago this corner of the park was
1) a place for dueling
2) a place for settling ones differences with tongues
3) a favourite place for walking
25.Narrator considers that the tradition to express thoughts is connected with
1) the desire for debate
2) the desire to fight
3) the desire to govern
26.The usefulness of the Speakers' Corner was expressed by
1) the narrator
