Opinion

I am Alice. I am in my sitting room at home, talking to my teacher on the radio. Yes, I am at school!

I live in the middle of Australia, a long way from any towns or cities, so I belong to the School of the Air. Students from all over Australia belong to such school. Every day, I start at half past eight. I have two hours of radio lessons and sometimes I watch lessons on TV. After that, I have three hours of homework, then I have free time.

I don't mind going to school in the sitting room — it's fun! I like using the radio. I like Geography because I'm interested in learning about foreign countries and I like talking to my Geography teacher about her visits to Europe, Asia and America. I also like History lessons. Unfortunately, we don't have sport lessons.

I am Magnus. I go to Green Street School in Portland, the USA. We get to school by bus.

Our school is quite big. There are about 1,500 students. I don't mind going to school. The lessons aren't very difficult for me. Our lessons start at half past eight. We usually have five or six 45-minute lessons. I am interested in science and computer studies. I usually get good grades in these subjects and I don't mind having tests in English and Literature.

I like my school. I am good at sport. I like playing ball games, especially baseball, football and basketball. We don't have uniform in our school and we don't study foreign languages. Some schools in Portland teach Spanish and German. I would like to study German.

I usually come home after 3 p.m. and go to the local stadium to play baseball with my friends.

Russia is a unique country, which preserves the national traditions deeply rooted not only in the Orthodox religion but also in paganism. Christianity gave Russians such great holidays as Easter and Christmas, and Paganism – Maslenitsa. Old traditions are passed on from generation to generation.

New Years is the biggest celebration for Russians. It is believed that the way you celebrate the New Year indicates how your year will be. On New Year’s eve, a huge meal is prepared with an abundance of dishes.

Easter is the day of the resurrection of Christ. The main tradition at Easter time is the painting of hard-boiled eggs. Red is the predominant colour, as it signifies new life. Russians exchange eggs and kind wishes for the Easter celebration.

Christmas is the holiday of the birth of Jesus Christ, which is celebrated on the 7th of January. Before Christmas Eve, people tidy their houses. The food for Christmas is prepared some days in advance, with turkey, stuffed pork, pies, pastries and sweets for children.

Maslenitsa is one of the most cheerful holidays in Russia. It marks the end of the winter and the opening of new spring festivals and ceremonies. Maslenitsa is celebrated during the week preceding the Lent. Every day of Maslenitsa is devoted to special rituals.

There are some interesting family traditions. For example, when a new baby is born, the father should plant a tree, wishing the child to grow up strong and healthy.

Among the traditions connected with wedding is blessing. When a bride and groom are ready to go to the church, the oldest member in their family takes a religious icon from the wall. While the bride and groom kneel, the family member crosses them both with the icon, blesses their union, and wishes them a long and happy marriage. At the wedding reception, the husband and wife take a big loaf of bread and bite it at the same time, without the use of their hands. Whoever gets the larger piece, it is said that they will be the leader of their family.

Traditions and holidays

British calendar is flashy with all kinds of holidays: national, traditional, public or bank holidays. The formation of some of them dates back hundreds of year, and it is not great surprise for such country as Great Britain loving its culture and history.

Public or bank holidays require all business and other bank institutions to close for the day and to give the employees a paid day off. They are: Christmas, New Years Day, Easter, St. Patrick’s Day, etc. Traditions respected on these days are various and interesting: for example, on the President’s Day girls are to ask boys off for a date, or invite them to a party or to the cinema, or even ask him to marry her. On the St. Patrick’s Day people use to wear something green and attend parades.

National holidays are also rich in their traditions and customs. On the Memorial Day people use to invite friends and relatives to a dinner and remember the dead together.

The Midsummer Day, on the 24th of June gives a possibility to visit the Stonehenge – the biggest stone circle, dating back to the 1st century BC, built by Druids, and is considered their calendar, used to count months and seasons.

If you visit UK on the 31st of October, you can meet witches, wizards, ghosts and different types of evil spirits appearing on Halloween. It is common for people to spend thousands of dollars on dresses, masks and other types of Halloween attributes. The celebration begins long before the 31st. People decorate their houses with pumpkins – they cut out the middle of the pumpkin, cut holes for eyes and mouth and put a candle inside. Some cities make a whole competition and parade of the best pumpkins of all. Children have a special tradition to go to their neighbors and play “Trick or Treat!” . If people give them money they will go away, otherwise they will play a trick on you by drawing something dreadful on your house or your car.

SIBERIAN OIL GIANT

Until Surgut’s vast oil reserves began to be exploited in the late 70s, the territory bordering the river Ob saw only Khanti tribes, that camped on patches of dry land and survived on fish and berries. Now Surgut is a town of 260,000 people, most of whom work for one of the Russia’s biggest oil companies.

At the time when production is collapsing at other oil companies, during the financial crisis, they manage to have stable, low-cost production and look much better positioned than most competitors in the field of oil production. Today Surgut is the Russian oil industry’s lowest-cost profitable producer.

Most investments go toward improving existing oil fields, rather than making new ones. The company has invested much in horizontal drilling which can increase fivefold the flow of an old well. Half of the horizontal wells worked out in Russia at the end of the 20^th century are drilled in Surgut. Millions have already been invested in roads, power lines and pipelines in the area. Analysts recognize Surgut’s power and say it is the best oil company in Russia today.

But the labour conditions are rather hard in Surgut. In Canada, drilling platforms are enclosed in concrete walls, which enable the workers to be protected from cold. In Surgut, which is situated near the Arctic Circle, the platforms are open, and at temperatures of minus 50 degrees, the eyes of the workers are sometimes shut with freeze.

But most people in Surgut are true Siberians who don’t want to live and work anywhere else.

CARBON DIOXIDE EMISSION

Some gases in the atmosphere allow visible light to pass through, but they block much of the heat which is reflected from the Earth’s surface – in the same way as the glass windows in a greenhouse. Without this greenhouse effect, temperatures in the world could be lower by 35 degrees Celsius, most of the oceans would freeze, and life would cease or be totally changed. According to the theory of global warming, an increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere will produce too high temperature increases.

Aside from water vapour, the main greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide. Of these, carbon dioxide is the most important.

The most dramatic consequence of the warming would be a rise in the sea level from the melting of polar ice and glaciers, a rise that the Environmental Protection Agency projects to be 20 feet in the year 2300. And the large parts of territories along sea and ocean coasts will be under water.

Scientists don’t think that mankind alone is responsible for the melting of glaciers and the rise of sea levels up to 25 centimetres this century. But we have created conditions that accelerate the process.

The majority of climatologists feel that a risk of global warming exists, although there is much disagreement about the extent and timing. At the 1992 United Nations Conference on the Environment and Development, more than 150 countries signed the Convention on the Climate Change for the control of emissions of greenhouse gases.

In the early 1990s, the United States produced 23 per cent of global emission, Western Europe 14 per cent, Japan 5 per cent and China 12 per cent. Although emissions have grown much for the past 40 years, they began levelling off in the late 1980s and the early 1990s.

In December 1997 about 160 nations took part in the conference in Japan which was to limit emission of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the future.

GRAVITATION

Gravitation is a very important force in the universe. Every object has a gravitational pull which is like magnetism. But, unlike magnetism, gravitation is not only in iron and steel. It is in every object large or small; but large objects, such as the earth, have a stronger pull than small ones.

Isaac Newton, the great scientist of the seventeenth century, first studied gravitation. When he was a boy, he often saw how apples fell to the ground. He wondered why they fell towards the earth and why they did not fly up into the sky.

According to the law which he later produced everything in the universe attracts everything towards itself. The sun attracts the earth and the earth attracts the sun. The earth attracts the moon and the moon attracts the sun. Although the bigger object has the stronger attraction, all objects, in fact, have some attraction too but we do not notice the gravitational pull of a book because the pull of the earth is much greater.

Why does the earth always move round the sun, and not fly off into the cold space? The sun's gravitation gives the answer. The earth always tries to move away in a straight line, but the sun always pulls it back. So it continues on its journey round the sun.

The sun is one of the stars in the galaxy, in which there are about 100,000 million stars. It is not in the middle of the galaxy, but rather near one edge.

There are millions of galaxies in the universe and so there are thousands of millions of suns. Many astronomers believe that some of these suns have planets as our sun does.

Gravitation is the force which holds all the atoms of a star together. It holds the sun together and it holds the atoms of the earth together. It holds us on the earth.

Einstein produced a new law of gravitation. Its main results are the same as the results of Newton's law; but in very small and fine matters Einstein's law gives different results. One of these is that gravitation bends light a little; but according to Newton's law gravitation has very little effect on light. Einstein showed this fact by means of mathematics and not by experiment. And astronomers later proved by experiments that Einstein was right.

1. Who studied gravitation first?

b) Albert Einstein

c) Ernest Rutherford

2.What did he observe when he was a boy?

a) stars in the sky

b) apples, falling to the ground

c) two magnets attracting each other

3. How many stars are there in the galaxy?

a)about 50,000 million

b) about 100,000 million

c) about 200,000 million
