Climate in Great Britain
Лексический блок
The British Isles which are surrounded by the ocean have an insular climate.
There are 3 things that chiefly determine the climate of the United Kingdom: the position of the islands in the temperate belt; the fact that the prevailing winds blow from the west and south-west and the warm current — the Gulf Stream that flows from the Gulf of Mexico along the western shores of England. All these features make the climate more moderate, without striking difference between seasons. It is not very cold in winter and never very hot in summer.
So, the British ports are ice-free and its rivers are not frozen throughout the year. The weather on the British Isles has a bad reputation. It is very changeable and fickle. The British say that there is a climate in other countries, but we have just weather. If you don't like the weather in England, just wait a few minutes.
It rains very often in all seasons in Great Britain. Autumn and winter are the wettest. The sky is usually grey and cold winds blow. On the average, Britain has more than 200 rainy days a year. The English say that they have 3 variants of weather: when it rains in the morning, when it rains in the afternoon, and when it rains all day long. Sometimes it rains so heavily, that they say «It's raining cats and dogs».
Britain is known all over the world for its fogs. Sometimes fogs are so thick that it's impossible to see anything within a few meters. The winter fogs of London are, indeed, awful; they surpass all imagination. In a dense fog all traffic is stopped, no vehicle can move from fear of dreadful accidents. So, we may say that the British climate has three main features: it is mild, humid and very changeable.
Questions:
1. Does the Gulf Stream flow from the Gulf of Mexico along the western shores of England?
2. What kind of climate does Great Britain have?
3. Why does the United Kingdom have an insular climate?
4. What are three main features that determine the climate of Great Britain?
5. Why are the English ports ice-free?
6. Are the English rivers frozen during winter?

Travelling
Лексический блок
I like to travel. First of all, the members of our family usually have long walks in the country. Such walks are called hikes.
If we want to see countryside we have to spend a part of our summer holidays on hikes. During such hikes we see a lot of interesting places, sometimes we meet interesting people.
It's useful for all members of our family. We take our rucksacks. We don't think about tickets and there is no need to hurry up.
As for me, it's more comfortable to travel by train and by plane. But it's difficult to buy tickets for the plane. That's why we buy our tickets beforehand.
When I travel by plane, I don't spend a lot of time going from one place to another, I like to fly. If I travel by train or by plane my friends see me off at the railway station or in the airport.
I like to travel by car. It's interesting too, because you can see many things in a short time. When we go by car, we don't take tickets. We put all things we need in a car. We don't carry them.
Sometimes we go to the seaside for a few days. As usual the weather is warm and we can swim. It's a pleasure to watch white ships.
So I can say that I enjoy all kinds of travelling very much.
Questions:
1. Do you like to travel?
2. How do you like to travel?
3. Do you prefer to travel by sea or by plane?
4. Whom do you like to travel with?

Past Simple
Прошедшее неопределенное время (анг. Past Indefinite, Past Simple) передает действия, происходящие в прошлом, при этом время действия точно не определено и не ограничено. Такое действие происходило обычно или постоянно. Также данное время употребляется для изложения последовательных событий.
Образование форм глагола
Форма большинства глаголов в данном времени (т.н. 2-я форма глагола) образуется путем прибавления окончания -ed к инфинитиву глагола без частицы to (т.е. к 1-ой форме глагола). Кроме этого, есть глаголы, которые имеют особую форму для данного времени. Такие глаголы называются неправильными.
При образовании 2-й формы правильных глаголов применяются следующие правила орфографии:
- если в конце глагола стоит буква -e, то она выпадает при добавлении окончания -ed
- если глагол заканчивается на согласную с последующей буквой y, то конечная буква y меняется на i при добавлении окончания -ed
- если глагол заканчивается на краткую гласную с последующей согласной, то конечная согласная удваивается при добавлении окончания -ed
Для образования вопросительной и отрицательной форм смысловых глаголов используется форма прошедшего времени вспомогательного глагола to do - did, при этом сам глагол ставится в 1-ю форму. Ниже представлены повествовательные, вопросительные и отрицательные формы глагола to work.

Sport in Great Britain
Лексический блок
Sport plays such a large part in British life that many idioms in the English language have come from the world of sport. For example, «that's not cricket» means «that's not fair» and «to play the game» means «to be fair».
The most popular sport in England is football. A lot of people support their local clubs at matches on Saturday afternoons or watch the matches on television.
The football league in England and Wales has four divisions. Each division contains twenty teams. There are two main prizes each season. The football league championship is won by the team that is top of the first division. The final of this competition takes place every May at the famous Wembley stadium in London.
Some of the best-known clubs in England are Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal. But many clubs have problems with money at the moment. Some people say that the league is too big and that the players get paid too much. Others say that television is making the crowds stay at home.
Sport has for a long time been a very important part of a child's education in Britain, not just — as you may think to develop physical abilities, but also to provide a certain kind of moral education.
Team games encourage such social qualities as enthusiasm, cooperation, loyalty and unselfishness.

Shopping
Лексический блок
When we want to buy something, we go to a shop. There are many kinds of shops in every town or city, but most of them have a food supermarket, a department store, men's and women's clothing stores, grocery, a bakery and a butchery.
I like to do my shopping at big department stores and supermarkets. They sell various goods under one roof and this is very convenient. A department store, for example, true to its name, is composed of many departments: readymade clothes, fabrics, shoes, sports goods, toys, china and glass, electric appliances, cosmetics, linen, curtains, cameras, records, etc. You can buy everything you like there.
There are also escalators in big stores which take customers to different floors. The things for sale are on the counters so that they can be easily seen. In the women's clothing department you can find dresses, costumes, blouses, skirts, coats, beautiful underwear and many other things. In the men's clothing department you can choose suits, trousers, overcoats, ties, etc.
In the knitwear department one can buy sweaters, cardigans, short-sleeved and long-sleeved pullovers, woollen jackets. In the perfumery they sell face cream and powder, lipstick, lotions and shampoos.
In a food supermarket we can also buy many different things at once: sausages, fish, sugar, macaroni, flour, cereals, tea. At the butcher's there is a wide choice of meat and poultry. At the bakery you buy brown and white bread, rolls, biscuits.
Another shop we frequently go to is the greengrocery which is stocked by cabbage, potatoes, onions, cucumbers, carrots, beetroots, green peas and what not. Everything is sold here ready-weighed and packed. If you call round at a dairy you can buy milk, cream, cheese, butter and many other products.
The methods of shopping may vary. It may be a selfservice shop where the customer goes from counter to counter selecting and putting into a basket what he wishes to buy. Then he takes the basket to the check-out counter, where the prices of the purchases are added up. If it is not a self-service shop, and most small shops are not, the shop-assistant helps the customer in finding what he wants. You pay money to the cashier and he gives you back the change.
Questions:
1. What do we do when we want to buy something?
2. What kinds of shops are there in every town?
3. Where do you like to do your shopping?
4. What departments is a department store composed of?
5. Where are the things for sale?
6. What can we buy in the knitwear department?
7. What can we buy in a food supermarket?

О построении предложения
Теперь несколько слов о построении предложений в английском языке. Слова в предложении должны располагаться в строгом порядке. Это связано с почти полным отсутствием падежных окончаний у существительных и прилагательных, а также неизменностью форм глагола. При этом, надо заметить, что порядок слов, так же как и семантический строй английского языка сильно отличается от русского. Особенно это касается вопросительных предложений. Поэтому мы не будем тратить время на повествовательные, восклицательные, и прочие предложения (которые иногда можно перевести даже буквально), а просто зададим несколько вопросов:
What are you talking about? - О чем вы говорите?
Who is this young lady? - Кто эта девушка?
What are you waiting for? - Чего вы ждете?
Why do you leave? - Почему ты уходишь?
What are you going to keep the water in? - В чем ты собираешься хранить воду?
А вот и вовсе шедевр построения предложения (хотя и здесь с точки зрения английского синтаксиса все правильно):
What are you going to keep the thermostat set to? - На какой температуре ты собираешься держать терморегулятор?
Если вам встретились незнакомые слова, возьмите словарь и переведите эти предложения дословно. Почувствуйте разницу. Именно поняв и почувствовав эту разницу, вы очень скоро заговорите на английском.
