THE
ENGLISHMAN’S GARDEN
The English like (1)
flowers. (2) a useful occupation because
it doesn't harm anyone. In winter the most romantic thing (3) some people is to
pick up a seed catalogue and look at the brightly (4) pictures of summer
flowers. Even people with a tiny patch of ground in towns like growing plants,
and people who (5) never seriously tried to speak any foreign language
carefully learn the Latin names of the flowers they plant, so that they can
tell (6) friends.
If you (7) to please an
English person, be very polite about his garden. He will probably tell you about his garden. So you listen and say: «How
(8)! How clever of you!»
The English gardens are
internationally famous. Some of (9) are
very beautiful, especially the big (10) that are open to the public.

THE

Two men (1) travelling in a

They saw no modern houses and no traces of civilization for (2) days. What they
saw were only a few huts made of (3) or tents where Indians lived. One day they
met an old Indian; (4) did not work but hunted animals and ate them as his
food. He was very (5) and knew everything about the forest and the animals
living in it and many other things. He could also (6) English quite well.
"Can you tell us what the

him. "Oh, yes," he said. "Rain is coming, and wind. Then there
will be snow for a day or two, but then the sunshine will come again and the
weather will be fine." "These old Indians seem (9) more about Nature
(10) we with all our science," said the man to his friend. Then he turned
to the old Indian.
"Tell me," he said,
"how do you know all that?"
The Indian answered, "I heard it on the radio."

BERNARD
BERG
Bernard Berg started as an
English language teacher. He was always good (1) languages at school, so he
decided to take his degree (2) French and German first. When he finished his
university studies in Oxford, he began (3) in a secondary school in England.
Two years later, however, he met someone (4) chance who offered him a job —
teaching English to foreign students during the long summer holidays. His
students were adults and he (5) the work greatly. He soon (6) he was interested
in languages of different countries. Since then he (7) specialized in this
work.
First he went to Africa for
two years and then he (8) a year in Spain . After that he went to Italy
where he worked for three years. He hasn't been to South America (9), but he
plans to go there next. He has taught men and (10) of all ages and of all
nationalities. He has also learnt to get on with people of all walks of life.
Now he is a writer, but his interest in foreign languages never lessens.

WHERE
THERE'S A WILL, THERE'S A WAY !
We say all these things to
balance our emotions and gain (1). But it is not as easy as it seems. So,
what's the answer? We cannot go and live on a desert island. There are lots (2)
things we can do of (3). We can take more exercise. We can (4) less, smoke
less, we can have a well-organized rest.
But perhaps the most important thing we can do (5) to learn to relax.
Stress (6) very slowly. It is made up of all the little things that make us
tense, day after day, year after year. Every time we relax, every time we put
our feet up, every time we have a cup of tea and a chat with an old friend we
take away some of the tension that (7) stress.
Americans worry about
relaxing. They take classes to learn (8) to relax. They read books that tell
them how to "take it easy". Relaxing is a multi-dollar industry in
the U.S.A. So, why not master this skill and do it on your own (without paying
(9) money)?
But before you start think of
what doctors say nowadays, "Too much relaxation is bad for you (10)".

INTERVIEWS ...
There was a talk on
ecological and other (1) in our studio. Here are some quotations that were used
(2) our writer. Who do you think the author is? Do his ideas sound up-to-date
or out-of-date? What does the author mock at If he does?
We are (3) of the sun, we
men and women. We love light and life. That is why we crowd into the towns and
cities, and the country (4) more and more deserted every year. In the sunlight
— in the daytime when Nature is alive and (5) all around us, we like the open
hill-sides and the deep woods well enough, but in the (6) when our Mother Earth
has gone to sleep and left us (7), oh! the world seems so lonesome and we get
frightened, like children in a (8) house. Then we sit and sob, and long for the
gas-lit streets, and the sound of human voices and the answering throb of human
life. We feel so helpless and so little in the (9) stillness, when the dark
trees rustle in the night-wind... Let (10) gather together in the great cities,
and light huge bonfires of a million gas-jets, and shout and sing together and
feel brave.

SHE
DID NOT EVEN LOOK UP
Last week (1) a dinner
party, the hostess asked me to sit next to Mrs Smith. Mrs Smith was a large,
unsmiling lady in a tight black dress. She did not even look up when I took my
(2) beside her. She was busy (3). I tried to make conversation.
"A nice day, (4) it?"
I said.
"No, I don't think
so," the (5) answered.
"A new play is coming to
"The Globe" soon," I said. "Are you going to see it?"
I asked. "No!" she answered.
"Will you be (6) your
holidays abroad this year?" I asked. "No!" she answered.
"Will you be staying (7) England ?" I
asked. "No!" she answered.
In despair, I asked her if she
was (8) her dinner. "Young man," she answered, "if you (9) more
and talked (10), we would both enjoy our dinner."

tomorrow." "Oh," said the young man, "I'll send you fresh
roses, one rose (3) each year of your life."
The same evening he went to

roses and asked the florist (5) them to the girl the next day.
The florist knew the young

TRAVELLING
IN THE LAKE DISTRICT
The Lake
District is very popular for holidays all year round. Roads
leading into the area have been improved in (1) years. Inside the area itself,
however, many roads are (2) and winding with steep hills and it may not be safe
to drive (3) roads like this when they are (4) in ice. For the mountain walker
a word of warning — every season visitors (5) lost or are injured and (6) to be
rescued by the Mountain Rescue teams. This kind of problem can be (7) by
following a few simple rules. When exploring the mountains, wear warm clothing,
sensible boots, take a map, compass and whistle and a small (8) of food. Don't
go (9) alone and always tell someone where you (10) to go to.

WHY I
WAS LATE
It was raining (1) as I was
walking towards the Metro station. There were very few people in the street.
The road was slippery.
Just as I was crossing the (2)
near the Metro station, a car came round the corner. It was travelling very (3)
at the speed of 80-—90 km. It was clear the driver was having difficulty in
controlling (4). Suddenly it hit a lamp-post and turned over.
At (5) I ran to the car. No
doubt the driver needed help. I tried to help the driver. But I could do very
little. The (6) eyes were closed, there was a lot of blood on his face.
Then I saw a young (7). She
hurried into the station. She phoned for an ambulance while I was taking care
(8) the driver. A lot of people gathered round the car.
Miliciamen arrived a (9)
minutes later and asked me a (10) of questions.
