The bald Knight

Once upon a time, a long time ago, there was a knight who, as he grew older, lost all his hair. He became as bald (b/b) as an egg. He didn’t want anyone to see his bald head so he bought a beautiful, black, curly wig.

One day some lords and ladies from the castle invited him to go hunting with them, so, of course, he put on his beautiful wig. “How handsome I look”, - he thought to himself as he was dressing in front of his mirror. Then he set off happily for the forest.

However a terrible thing happened. He was riding along, singing merrily to himself, when he passed under an oak tree and his wig caught on a branch and fell off in full view of everyone. How they all laughed at him! At first the poor knight felt very foolish but then he saw the funny side of the situation, and he started laughing, too.

They were all still laughing when they arrived back at the castle. The knight never wore his wig again.

У студентов иностранных языков есть твердое правило /an unbreakable rule/: регулярно посещать семинары по профилирующим дисциплинам /предметам/. Комплекс предметов педагогического цикла состоит из курсов лекций по теории педагогики, истории педагогики и методики. Каждый студент проводит много времени, занимаясь индивидуально и читая книги в оригинале. Магнитные записи помогают подготовиться к практическим занятиям. Такие занятия помогают расширить запас слов и развить навыки устной речи. Студенты изучают не только основные предметы, на которых данный университет специализируется. Они имеют возможность изучать дополнительные предметы на свой выбор, пользоваться аудио-визуальным оборудованием, визуальными вспомогательными средствами, обсуждать свои проблемы с преподавателем.

По окончании университета они могут получить степень бакалавра или магистра. У студентов младших курсов /первого и второго/ обычно более напряженное расписание. Лекции сопровождаются семинарами. У студентов старших курсов, будущих учителей, больше самостоятельной работы и творческих заданий. Ну, а для студентов, не привыкших к скучной жизни, есть спортивные секции, дискотеки и клубы.

3.Write about the word “profession” and its synonyms. Give examples.

The Farmer and His Sons

There was once an old, dying farmer who had worked hard in his vineyard (b/b) all his life. Before he died he wanted to teach his three sons how to be good farmers. So he called them to him and said: “My boys, before I die I want you to know that there is a great treasure buried in the vineyard. Promise me that you will look for it when I am dead”.

The sons promised and as soon as their father had died they began looking for the treasure. They worked very hard in the hot sun and all the time as they were working they wondered what their father had left for them. In their minds they pictured boxes of gold coins, diamond necklaces and other such things. Soon they had dug up every inch of the vineyard. But they found not a single penny. They were very upset. They felt that all their hard work had been for nothing.

But then the grapes started to appear on the vines and their grapes were the biggest and best in the neighborhood and they sold them for a lot of money.

Now they understood what their father had meant by the great treasure and they lived happily and wealthily ever after.
