Fact or myth?
It’s difficult to ignore your mother when she tells you to “wrap up warm” or “dry your hair or you’ll get a cold”- but colds are not caused by the cold: they are caused by viruses! Walking around with wet hair or a T-shirt in winter may look silly, and will make you feel cold, but you will only get a cold or the flu, if you come into contact with an infected person. The best way to avoid viruses like these is to wash your hands regularly when there’s a bug going around.
Despite the huge medical advances that have been made over the last century, the common cold is still incurable and medicine does little for the symptoms either. Antibiotics won’t help as your cold is caused by one of over 200 viruses. The only time you may need them is if you develop a throat or ear infection. Otherwise, go to bed and drink lots of fluids and wait till you get better.
Exercise 6. Answer the questions.
a) What do mothers often tell their children?
b) What is the best way to avoid catching a cold?
c) When may you need antibiotics?
d) What is the best way to deal with a cold?

Exercise 3.Read the text and translate it.
Being the eldest
The way I am today is a complete reflection of my position in the family.
When people ask me questions, I always feel I have to know the answer, because my brothers always assumed I knew everything.
I was the one who did everything first, like learning to read. I didn’t always
want to be the first, but I felt I had to. I always helped with the housework. As I was
the only girl, my mom often used to say “Jane, could you wash up? Jane, can you
make the supper?”. Of course, my brothers were never asked.
I was completely aware of the power I had being the eldest, and in retrospect I
think I was probably very bossy, and in a way selfish, because I did everything myself and didn’t give the others the opportunity. When my brothers grew up, it took me ages to accept that they were independent adults – I still think of my brother Michael as twelve years old, and in fact he’s a father himself now!
Exercise 4.Answer the questions:
1 Why does she feel she has to know the answers to all the questions of people?
2 Why does she always have to be the first?
3 Did she always help with the housework?
4 Why does she think that she was probably very bossy?

| 3. | The oldest children get maximum attention from their parents. | ||
| 4. | The famous Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, was a second-born child. | ||
| 5. | The oldest children often get the top jobs too. |
Exercise 6. Retell the listened text.
Exercise 7.Write the missing letters:
