LIVING IN THE ICE AGE
I'm a scientist and I arrived here in Antarctica three months ago in December. The temperature is cold but not unpleasant yet. Since arriving, I've worked with about sixty other people getting everything - ready for the Antarctic winter. It's been a lot of hard work, but it was fun, too. However, a few days ago the ship left taking most of the staff with it, and it won't be back to fetch us until next December. So the hardest thing to get used to is that there are now just fourteen of us because I'm used to working in a large company.
I'm living on the same work station I was ten years ago. It was new then and it's still in good condition and unchanged. The dried food we get is also the same — you forget what real food tastes like after a few weeks. The people working-here with me are all different from then, but I'm always happy getting to know new people. Ten years ago, we were able to send faxes to friends and families once a month, but today we can send e-mails and talk on the phone so we don't feel so far away.
Last week we went out exploring for a few days. We slept in our very thick sleeping bags to keep the cold out. We always have to wear the right clothes and boots for walking on ice and snow. We were joined together by a rope all the time in case we fell into any holes in the ice. They're too deep to climb out of. The skies were clear and I was reminded how lucky I am to be here. Soon we will get amazing sunsets, too.
1. What is the writer trying to do?
A. Persuade people to work in the Antarctica.
plain about his life in Antarctica.
C. Describe his own experience in Antarctica.
ggest ways of improving life in Antarctica.
2. What is difficult to the writer at the moment?
A. He is working with a small number of people.
B. There is too much work to do.
С The weather is too cold.
D. The ship won't return for months.
3. In the writer's opinion, what had improved since ten years ago?
A. The living accommodation is better.
B. The food is tastier.
munications have improved.
D. His colleagues are easier to work with.
4. What particular danger was there when they were exploring?
A. The cold.
B. The holes in the ice.
C. Getting lost.
D. Slipping on the ice.
5. Which of the following e-mails did the writer send to a pen-friend?
A. I'm getting used to being in Antarctica. Although people had told me what it was like, it's still a shock to experience it myself.
B. There hasn't been much to do here yet, so I've spent the time getting to know my colleagues and relaxing.
C. It's good to be back here. I've forgotten how beautiful it is. I'm looking forward to seeing some wonderful sunsets.
D. I'll send you my news as often as I can. It won't be long till I'm home, as I've already been here nearly a year.

ТЕКСТЫ ДЛЯ АУДИРОВАНИЯ
ЗАДАНИЕ 1
Speaker 1
Most of the homework that we get is pretty boring. A lot of it is just repeating what we've done in lessons. I usually don't have any problems in any subjects at school and get quite high marks in tests, so I don't see the point of spending hours doing it. I do the minimum so that I don't get into trouble, but that's all. I think it's more important to pay attention in lessons and ask questions if there's anything you don't understand.
Speaker 2
For homework teachers normally ask us to finish off work that we've started in class. I work pretty hard in lessons and so I don't usually have a lot to do when I get home. Sometimes though, I copy up the work again neatly, so that it looks better and is easier to revise from for exams. I like my work to look tidy and in fact my teachers always comment that it's well presented.
Speaker 3
I usually stay on at school after lessons and do my homework in the resource centre. There's plenty of space there and I can use the school computers as well. On some evenings the school also organizes a homework club and one or two teachers stay behind to help you if you need it. At home it's difficult for me to concentrate. I don't have a room of my own. I share a room with my younger brother and he wants to listen to music all the time.
Speaker 4
My friend says I'm a real 'boffin' and I suppose it's true really. I'm a bit of a perfectionist. I spend a lot of time on my homework. I always want to be the best in the class. I don't like wasting time either. I usually do any learning or reading homework on the bus on the way home and then I go up to my room and stay there till I've done everything. I can't relax until I've finished it all.
Speaker 5
I don't like doing homework on my own, so I always go round to my friend's house and we work together there. Both her parents work late, so we have the house to ourselves till about seven o'clock. I like being able to talk about the homework together before we do it. This seems to work out well for both of us. We understand the work better now and both of us have improved our grades. We also do the work a lot quicker together and have time afterwards for a chat about other more important things!
Speaker 6
I hate doing homework. I prefer to go out with my friends in the evening. That's much more fun. My bus usually gets to school about half an hour before lessons start and so I copy up the maths and science homework from my best friend. Those teachers are pretty strict so it's best not to upset them too much! Most of the other teachers don't seem to care if I do the work or not. I don't like school much and I'm looking forward to leaving soon.
ЗАДАНИЕ 2
Ann: So, Bob, are you watching the finals of the tennis this weekend? Bob: Um... no, I don't think sо.
Ann: Don’t you like tennis, then?
Bob: No. I can't stand it. Sorry to sound so miserable! I just hate it.
Ann: I don't watch it very often. But I watch the Wimbledon finals and the finals of the American Open. They're only once a year after all and it's really world-class tennis.
Bob: I-can't play although it has always been my dream, that's my problem. I'm hopeless at it! I've had lessons, of course but they were a disaster. You know, if I'm not very good at a sport, I don't like watching it. I just don't feel any real involvement at all.
Ann: So what do you like, then?
Bob: I'm a member of a golf club. I play golf once or twice a week.
Ann: Oh right. My father plays golf as well. The problem is we hear about it 24 hours a day. It's his main topic of conversation. In fact, it's probably his only topic at the moment.
Bob: You don't play, then?
Ann: No. I've tried a few times. I used to go to the club with my father and I had a few lessons with one of the golf professionals, but I'm not interested in it, really. It's... not my cup of tea. I prefer to go horse riding.
Bob: Oh, right. So you have your own horse?
Ann: Well, not exactly! I go to a riding club not far from where I live and ride one of the horses there. It's a lot cheaper than owning your own horse and a lot less work as well. You don't have to brush it and clean it. And it's all ready for you when you arrive. You just get on the horse and ride it for an hour. That's all. You haven't got any other responsibilities.
Bob: Yeah, that sounds good fun. I like the idea of just getting on the horse and then handing the horse back when you've finished riding. You know, I think I'd like to have a go at it.
Ann: Well, why don't you come with me the next time I go? They organise special classes for beginners most days.
