Americans like to think the United States is a young country, but really it has a long and interesting history. You can see some of its history in the styles of the houses. The lovely pueblo houses of Native American villages, the old pioneer log cabins, the plantation houses in the South, the beautiful colonial homes of the Northeast - they are all a part of American history. They are part of modern America too, because people copy the old styles in new houses. The history lives on.

The traditional American family consisting of a husband, wife and children is becoming less and less frequent. More people who are illegally married are living together. More and more children are being raised in single-parent families, by both poor women and by women who are professionally employed. Others postpone marriage and childbirth and as a consequence bear fewer children than women who marry earlier. Among the educated more and more couples are deciding to have fewer and fewer children. An exception to this trend occurs among blacks, hispanics and among the very poor. In 1990 the size of the average American family was 3.2 individuals.

While young people are getting married later in life, the divorce rate is increasing. Roughly 50% of all marriages in the United States now end in divorce. In cases of divorce the financial support required from the breadwinner will vary from case to case and if agreement is not possible between the two parties the court will decide. The cheapest way of getting a divorce is through the no-fault system, that is, two parties come to an agreement between themselves about the distribution of property. If there is no agreement then each hires a lawyer and the divorce will be very costly, up to $25,000 and more for legal fees alone.

Great attention is paid on keeping oneself physically fit. Companies spend money on building gyms and arranging sports facilities for their employees. A company staff may have an option of going to a swimming pool, a training centre or a golf course for a symbolic fee. The companies are pragmatic doing this. If a person goes in for sports he or she will be healthier and more energetic, and this will do good for the company he works for. Besides, medical care is very expensive, and it is often easier to prevent a disease by giving a person an opportunity to look after oneself than to pay the insurance afterwards.

Football in particular has a vast and enthusiastic number of supporters; during football season total attendances at matches between Football League clubs is ____________.
Britain was the originator of many sports such as football, rugby, golf, hockey, lawn tennis. Other sports, whose origins were much earlier, were first organized in Britain in the form they are played today - athletics, boxing, horse racing, for example. Some sports, such as cricket and squash, although very popular in Britain and many Commonwealth countries, have not spread much wider. All these sports attract very large numbers of people in Britain, both as participants and as spectators. Football in particular has a vast and enthusiastic number of supporters; during football season total attendances at matches between Football League clubs is about 25 million.

Sports in America take a variety of forms: organized competitive struggles; athletic games, played for recreation anywhere; and hunting and fishing. Most sports are seasonal. Some sports are called spectator sports, as the number of spectators greatly exceeds the number playing in the game. Other sports are called participant sports, drawing a crowd of onlookers only on special occasions, such as tournaments. Some sports are commercial and professional, with players who are paid for their participation and with audiences who pay for the tickets to watch.

Baseball is the most popular sport in America. It is played throughout the spring and summer and professional baseball teams play well into the autumn. Not only boys, high school and college teams play baseball in the spring, but it is played by grown men as amateurs and by professionals organized into major and minor leagues. Every autumn there is the World Series, a play-off for the professional championship between the two top-ranking teams of the nation, one the winner of the National league competition and the other of the American league. Heroes in baseball are talked about and remembered as perhaps in no other sport.

In Britain, the word “sport” is used generally to describe such activities as organized outdoor games, athletics, field or country sports, indoor games, aquatic sports, and such popular pursuits as horse-racing, dog-racing, show jumping, riding, boxing, rock climbing, motor racing, cycling and rifle shooting as well as those (for instance, archery, fencing, gliding and ice-skating) which, although less popular judged by the number of participants and spectators, all have their own devotees. Those who engage in sport may be professionals (that is, paid players) or amateurs. Professionals keep up the technical standards of the sports in which they take part and spectators make a vital contribution by their enthusiasm and their financial support; but the sporting life of Britain derives its character principally from the amateur element - people who devote time and energy to organising sport and to teaching and training, as well as the many thousands of all ages who engage in sport for pleasure alone.

The cloak-room is much less used in English theatres than in those in the Northern Countries. Generally there is only one cloak-room, which is for the people in the stalls and the dress circle, as in these seats evening dress is customary, especially on first nights and at the opera. Many ladies wear evening cloaks, which they keep on during the performance, while men put their hats and over-coats under the seat on the carpeted floor.

Some people think English is easy to pronounce, in contrast to Chinese, for example. However, the spelling of some English words is not easy. Also, many common things have different names in British and American English, for example "pavement" and "side walk". And one of the problems is phrasal verbs.

This school year, nearly half of all American elementary students are expected to learn math the way children do at Fernangeles Elementary: not in neat rows of desks, repeating times tables and memorizing theorems, but through trial-and-error problem solving, often in groups with little direct instruction and almost always with a calculator nearby. Advocates call it “interactive” or “inventive” math and insist that it sets American schoolchildren on the way to becoming “mathematically powerful”.

It all started in 1989, when the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, in response to the consistently poor math scores of U.S. children, issued new standards overhauling math education. Out went the stalwarts of traditional math: the rote memorization drills, the droning chalkboard lectures. In came the cool stuff: calculators, open-ended problems, exercises that encourage kids to discover their own route to the right answer.

The most convincing defense of new whole math would be evidence that it works. In a few states that have emphasized new-new math, such as Connecticut, there are early indicators of improved student performance. Critics in California, on the other hand, point to test scores in cities like Santa Barbara and Palo Alto that show at least temporary dropoffs after new math has been introduced.

Speakers of European languages expect that their verbs will always tell them something about time, that there will be a relation between tense and time, and that we shall have at least a future, a present and a past tense referring to a future, a present and a past time. But there is no natural law that says that a verb in any language shall be concerned with time. Indeed there are plenty of languages in which time relations are not marked at all and there are some languages which are concerned with spatial rather than temporal relations. Even in languages where time seems to be dealt with in the verb it is not always a simple matter of present, past and future.

English does not handle present, past and future as a trio in the category of tense; we shall not be referring to future tense at all in spite of having past and present tenses. In English the verb may indicate that an action took place in a period preceding, but continuing right up to, the present moment, as well as simply in the past. In other languages such as Slavonic languages, what is important is whether or not the action has been completed. “I read a book last night” will be translated into Russian in two different ways - depending upon whether or not I finished the book.

Running is excellent exercise. Before you start running, you should warm up first, using slow movement that makes all your muscles work. But be careful! If you stretch when your muscles are cold, you might do yourself an injury. Always wear comfortable clothing and make sure your trainers are in good shape. If you wear shoes that give good support to your whole foot, you will put less pressure on your knees. You should start exercising slowly, at a pace you can keep up for about 15-20 minutes. Try to exercise on soft ground as this will protect your knees and hips from too much stress.

We study one of the modern languages at school. It is English. It’s my favourite subject. At the lessons of English we learn to read, write and speak.

I like stories after Alan Milne, Donald Bisset, Lewis Carroll, Mark Twain and others. I want to be clever at English because English will help me in my future life. I will read books in English, watch films and listen to the songs and understand them. But what is more important, I will speak with people from other countries and we’ll understand each other. We’ll make friends and will live in peace.

It’s difficult to speak about music in general, because it will either take a lot of time or just one sentence to explain our attitude. Music is an integral part of our life. It is varied because it reflects different human emotions. If we ask several people what kind of music they like, all of them will give different answers. Tastes differ. But the world of music is boundless and everybody can find there something that satisfies his tastes and demands. And all the people will agree that our world will be dull without music.

Music is an integral part of our life. We enjoy music because it influences our mood and imagination, reflects our inner state and character, arouses deep emotions and makes us think. It helps us to remove from tiredness and tension or find new strength, get new energy and optimism. That’s why we can say that all kinds of music are popular with public: classical and pop music, folk music and jazz, operas, musicals, orchestral performances, chamber music, rock and roll, heavy metal, rap, rock, hard rock, rave and so on. For this reason music festivals which are held annually gather large audience.

It helps us to remove from tiredness and tension or find new strength, get new energy and optimism.

I should say that it is impossible not to love theatre. It shows us how beautiful, strong and clever people are, how wonderful and interesting life is. That’s why it is almost impossible to get tickets when a good play is on. You have to buy tickets beforehand either at the box-office of the theatre itself or at one of the agencies.

When you go to the theatre you should know that the best seats are those in the stalls, the circle and the upper circle. Then comes the pit and last of all the gallery where the seats are the cheapest. Boxes, of course, are the most expensive. It is true to every theatre where you can see opera, ballet, comedy, drama, musical comedy or a variety show. Most theatres and music-halls have good orchestras with popular conductors. So if you have chosen a good play you will enjoy it thoroughly from the moment the curtain goes up to the end of the last act.

William Shakespeare was one of the greatest and famous writers in human history. He was born in Stratford-upon-Avon a small town in the middle of England. His father wanted his son to be a well-educated person and William was sent to the local grammar school. Studying at school the boy actually did not have any free time. But he spent his rare spare hours walking in the forest or watching the river Avon. Soon he went to London and there he became an actor. At that time he began to write plays too. Shakespeare was at the same time an actor and a playwright. His plays were staged in many theatres, translated into many foreign languages.
That made Shakespeare a very popular man. He produced thirty seven plays at all. William Shakespeare wrote also a lot of poetry including his unbeatable sonnets.

It is difficult to live without music. You can hear music everywhere: in the streets, in the marketplaces, in the shops, in the parks and in the concert halls. You can even hear it at the seaside and in the forest. We can’t live without music. Modern researches discovered that a human puts music in the third place after the family relations stability and comfort and the job satisfaction. Even sexual realization means less to a human. We like to listen to music, we enjoy to dance to music, we play music instruments. For some people music is their hobby.
