1. Dancing helps to overcome difficulties 5. Hip-Hop movement

2. Boy"s talents 6. Senseless Life

3. Youth"s life in Bronx 7. Youth"s hobbies in Belafonte"s film

4. Popularity of breakdance 8. Personal view of the film
A. These three young men belong to "Hip-Hop". This movement developed during the seventies in the USA , especially in the New York Bronx. It includes rap-songs, graffiti paintings as well as breakdance. For young boys and girls this movement is becoming more and more a kind of expression. They see it as a way to achieve something. Here they can express their longing for admiration, their desires and their disappointments.

B. For too many young people in the USA - especially those living in slums such as the New York Bronx-life seems to be without sense. "Only living people are able to cry. People murder people. A world without sense." This is their reaction sung in a rap-song.

C. The film isn"t a copy of usual breakdance films. Belafonte shows more. He shows the life of youth in the Bronx and their thrilling joy of life. And he demonstrates breakdance in nearly acrobatic pictures. Little Lee, whose feet seem to be of gum when the rhythm of breakdancing not only as a means of earning some cents. For him it is more than just dancing. In it he expresses his disappointments and his longing for something better.

D. Those young people-Black and White-create a world of their own-a wild, crazy, colourful world, and the rhythm of their music is their pulsation. For a short time they forget the cruelty of daily life in a world without illusions and without pity. The film tries to seize light and darkness of that life.

E. So it is understandable why little Black Lee is breakdancing in the streets of New York, why Ramon-an unemployed white boy who is painting the white trains of the New York subway-considers himself to be an artist. And Kenny, who is unemployed, too, as a disc jockey produces his own music , mixing it with the help of things like dropping watertaps or brushes, thus producing a truly fascinated music. The reaction of his audience speaks for itself.

F. My first impression was that the problem dealt with is not presented as cliches, everybody gets a lot background information. In an interview Harry Belafonte said: "I"ve followed break-development attentively. It is an outcry of a youth we all have forgotten. A shriek of a youth without future in reality, with true "no future"..."

G. Breakdance, graffiti-painting, rap-songs, Hip-Hops... - fascinating words, but what about their background? What make Black youth in the USA engage in such admittedly impressive hobbies? "Beat Street", a film produced by Harry Belafonte, provides some information. There a lot of pros and cons about this film , a lot of different opinions about it.

If money was not an issue and you could choose any job you wanted, what would it be? Actor? Model? Or a footballer like David Beckham? A new survey by adult education specialists, Learndirect, asked people across the UK what their dream job would be.

The results suggest that not only do people aspire to modest professions such as working for a charity or gardening, but often at the top of their list of dream jobs are the very professions others are leaving in droves - such as nursing or teaching.

The survey also reveals that there are striking parallels between men and women"s dream jobs , and that they have an equally similar list of nightmare occupations. While day-dreaming about the perfect vocation is common among people of all ages and professions, very few people fantasize about having glamorous jobs.

The Guardian newspaper teamed up with Learndirect to send a few volunteers into their dream job for a day.

One of the volunteers, Michael Mutton, used to work in sales, but found this was not making him happy. He felt the high demands and targets made for an unattractive atmosphere to work in. He had always dreamed of running his own pub, so he went to work at a pub in Hertfordshire for a day.

"I didn"t realize how much behind the scenes work there was. I knew the obvious things like pouring a pint, and I had an idea what it would be like meeting people you didn"t know. But there was more to it than I"d imagined," he says.

Changing beer barrels wasn"t as easy as he"d anticipated and within minutes he found himself covered in beer.

Now we are ready to start.
Maria: Hi, Steve. How are you?

Steve: Good, thanks Maria. I"m fine. I was going to ring you tonight so it"s a good thing I"ve run into you. I wanted to remind you about the field trip next week.

Maria: What field trip?

Steve: The Geography field trip to the Warragamba Dam and the Water Treatment Plant. It"s a

compulsory part of the first year Environmental Science course. Didn"t you know about it?

Maria: No! I must"ve missed that piece of information ; this is news to me! But give me the

details, please.

Steve: Sure! Well, we have to meet outside the Library next Monday at 7 in the morning or

you can meet us at 7.45 at the bus station in time to catch the coach which departs at 8 o"clock.

Maria: Oh,.alright. And how long does it take to get to this place?

Steve: Well, once we"re on the coach, it will take about two hours... Er, no! Actually more like

two and a half at that time of day. And it could take as long as three hours to come back the next day because of the evening traffic.

Maria: And what"s the purpose of the trip?

Steve: Didn"t you get the course outline? You don"t seem to know anything about this course!

Maria: Well, remember, I only started at the university a month ago, so I joined the course two weeks late and I"ve been trying to catch up ever since!

Steve: Oh, of course! Well, we spend the first day visiting the dam. I believe we actually go inside the wall of the dam, which is really quite interesting - to see the dam functioning , you know, how much they regulate the water supply each day, depending on how much water is needed downstream in Sydney.

Maria: Oh. OK. And um, so, if this is a two day trip, where are we staying? Not camping by the dam, I hope!

Steve: No, no. Not camping. They do actually some overnight cabins near the dam for visiting groups, but we"re spending the night in a youth hostel, in a town nearby. That"s all been arranged by the university.

Maria: And what about meals? Should we take our own food along?

Steve: No, you won"t need to do that. The hostel provides two meals, breakfast and an evening meal and we can find a cheap place to buy lunch.

Maria: Great! So, is this the only dam that supplies water for Sydney?

Steve: There are a couple of others too, but this is the main one.

Maria: Well, with a population of over four and a half million people , I suppose we do use

thousands of litres each day.

Steve: Absolutely! In fact, according to my notes here, they pump the water through something like 20,000 kilometres of pipes and canals and store the water in 262 service reservoirs. And each day we use enough water to fill 600 Olympic swimming pools...

Maria: OK, then. See you on Monday, and thanks very much for letting me know.

1. Our never sleeping part 5. Pre-sleep activities 2. Influence on academic results 6. Sleeping classes 3. Advantages of bedtime routine 7. A negative effect on health 4. Good sleeping conditions 8. The mechanism of dreaming A. Recent research shows that lots of teenagers are suffering from lack of sleep which is causing problems with their behaviour and learning. As a result schools have introduced a new lesson where students are given more of an idea of the importance of sleep. According to medical data, they should get at least nine hours" sleep a night. Young people should realise that sleep is very important if they want to do well at school and enjoy life. B. It’s common knowledge that people sleep best in a dark room that is slightly cool. It"s important to close your blinds or curtains and make sure they"re heavy enough to block out the light. You can add extra blankets or wear pyjamas if you"re cold. Note that an uncomfortable bed, heat and noise can ruin a good night"s sleep. A TV is also a distraction. C. If you don’t sleep enough or have a disturbed sleep you can get heart disease, high blood pressure and even diabetes. People who don"t sleep enough get colds and flu more often than those who do. Moreover, recent research proves that poor sleepers gain weight more easily than people who sleep well. Extra kilos are the reaction of the body to the stressful sleepless situation. D. Think twice before watching a movie late at night. Don’t spend sleeping time on endless computer games. The thing is that by getting up and going to bed at the same time every day, even on weekends, you teach your body to follow a healthy regime. You"ll quickly fall asleep, will have a good night’s sleep and will wake up at the expected time feeling fresh and active. E. Some easy steps can prepare your body for going to sleep. You probably have some regular bedtime habits, even if you don’t realise it. Brushing your teeth, taking a shower, reading a book and setting your alarm clock may all be part of your evening routine. Remember that you should perform these activities in the same manner and in the same order every night. Английский язык. 9 класс вариант 2 2018 г. - 6 / 11 F. Sleepless nights at exam time are very bad for students. If you prepare for your exam late at night, it will not improve your performance during the exam. On the contrary, it will affect your ability to concentrate, to react quickly and to analyse information. Recent research shows that the results of the tests written after sleepless nights are lower than usual grades. G. If you think that during sleep, the brain rests, you"re mistaken. It"s a common myth about sleep. Sleep is definitely needed – but it"s not your brain that needs to rest, it"s your body that needs to relax. Your brain is still working when you"re asleep, controlling physical functions like breathing and your heart beat. However, because the brain does not have to go through the constant stress of thinking, you get up refreshed and recharged.

April Fools" Day

April Fools’ Day, or All Fools’ Day, is an odd holiday which encourages us to play tricks and fool our family and friends. There is some uncertainty about when and where this bizarre tradition began. Popular belief says that April Fools’ Day started in the 16th century in France but there are not enough facts to confirm it.

Anyway, according to legends and a small number of facts, the story seems to be as follows. Before the 16th century, the New Year was celebrated in spring, around April 1st. In 1564 King Charles IX of France declared that the country would start using a new calendar, which changed New Year"s Day to January 1st. In those days, with no communication technologies, news travelled slowly and new ideas were often mistrusted. Many people still celebrated the New Year the old way. These people were called "fools" and became a target for jokers.

Playing jokes on April 1st became a custom and was later transported across the Atlantic to the American colonies. Nowadays, April Fools’ Day has developed into an international festival of fun.

Today in France, people who are fooled on April 1st are called Poisson d"Avril, which literally means the April Fish. Children stick paper fish to their friends’ backs. There are different fish souvenirs in the shops and chocolate fish of all shapes and sizes are sold in supermarkets. In England, if a trick is played on you, you are a noodle. Remember that in this country you should observe the time limit - tricks can be played only in the morning. People playing jokes after midday are April fools themselves.

April Fools’ jokes should not harm anyone. The best jokes are when everyone laughs, especially the people the joke was played on.

One of the great April Fools’ jokes happened on April 1st, 1957. BBC TV did a documentary on "spaghetti farmers" growing "spaghetti trees." The report showed a family from Switzerland carrying out their annual spaghetti harvest. It showed women carefully pulling long thin pieces of spaghetti from a tree and laying them in the sun to dry.

The joke was an enormous success. A lot of people were fooled - the BBC began to receive hundreds of calls from puzzled viewers. “Did spaghetti really grow on trees?”, they wanted to know. Others were eager to learn how they could grow their own spaghetti tree. To this the BBC replied that they should "place a piece of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best."

Another famous April joke was played by the Burger King Company in the USA in 1998. They ran an advertisement about launching a “twin brother” of their most famous sandwich Whopper. Along with the traditional Whopper they were going to sell a Left-Handed Whopper, which was specially designed for the company’s

left-handed customers. According to the advertisement, they rotated all the ingredients 180 degrees. Amazingly, thousands of customers requested the new sandwich at their restaurants.

7. A fan society

8. The drink varieties

A. Coca Cola appeared in Atlanta, Georgia, 1886. Doctor John Pemberton made a special syrup, but he kept its components secret. He added some mineral water to it and took the new product to the chemist"s. There the syrup was sold for five cents a glass. Pemberton told everyone that Coca-Cola cured many illnesses, including headaches, stomachaches, and nervous breakdowns.

B. Coca Cola was first sold in ordinary bottles. In 1915, the company held a competition to create a new bottle for their drink. They said it should be a bottle that would make Coca Cola different from all other drinks. Even today the shape of Coca Cola bottle is one of the most recognized packages on the planet..."even in the dark!".

C. The famous Coca Cola symbol was created by John Pemberton"s colleague, Mr. Robinson. He thought that two letters "C" would look great in advertising. Besides, the red and white colours were simple and effective. Red was energetic and bright and so would attract young people. As for the style, of writing, it was just popular in the United States during that period.

D. Before the 1930s, Coca Cola was only considered to be a drink for warm weather so the company started a campaign to remind people that Coca Cola was a great choice in any month. For this a talented artist drew pictures of a happy Santa Claus enjoying a drink of Coke. The pictures were published in magazines and made Cola even more popular.

E. Coca Cola was one of the first companies that invested money in public projects. For example, the company is proud to be an old and devoted partner of the Olympic Games. This connection began in 1928 with the Games in Amsterdam. Since then the company has sponsored lots of football, hockey, and basketball competitions.

F. The Coca Cola Collectors Club was formed in 1974 by a small group of people. Today it has become international with more than 5,000 people from 28 countries. Club members collect everything connected with Coca Cola: bottles, posters, newspaper articles, postcards - everything. They sometimes meet to exchange their treasures.

G. Today there are 16 special variants of the original Coca Cola recipe. Some have less sugar or no sugar at all. Such Coke is chosen by those who want to keep fit. Children may prefer a cherry or a vanilla flavour. The drink also changes from country to country, reflecting national preferences. For example, if you travel to France, you can try the unusual orange Coca Cola.

You can travel almost anywhere in the world, and you will probably see graffiti. Although graffiti is more common in big cities, today you may find it in almost any region or district, big or small. It"s everywhere: on trains, walls, bridges and

buildings. Love it or hate it but graffiti is part of the everyday urban world. Some people consider it art while others think it"s vandalism. However, few of them really know how old graffiti is.

The word graffiti itself probably comes from the old Greek verb which means "to write". Writings on walls already existed in ancient Rome. The Romans cut graffiti on walls and monuments. What was it like, you may ask? Ancient graffiti was absolutely different from today"s. It showed phrases of love, political ideas, simple thoughts, magic spells, alphabets, and famous quotations from literature.

Modern graffiti dates back to the US of the 1960s. At that time for young people it was a form of self-expression and a political protest. Teenage groups in New York, for example, painted graffiti to mark their territory. Later, there started competitions between different groups. That meant that the quality of graffiti became more important than just the amount of it.

Today graffiti has travelled all over the world. However, it is still an illegal art. It has been always painted on private or public property, like cars, trains, fences and house walls. As a result most people see it as vandalism. Besides, it"s rather hard to clean graffiti paints, and cities spend millions every year on it. So, in most countries graffiti is forbidden. On the other hand, modern graffiti is, by its nature, a form of painting. After all, the artists use the same methods and materials. However, instead of paints a graffiti artist prefers sprays, markers, and crayons. Some of their works are really impressive and fascinating; they are powerful and have a deep meaning. Graffiti often makes grey walls look cheerful.

The purpose of some graffiti is to spread and declare social ideas. That"s why a lot of graffiti paintings have political topics. Some cities have special places where the walls of different buildings can be used to create pieces of graffiti art.

Probably, the most famous graffiti artist is Banksy, who comes from Bristol, England. He strongly believes that writing graffiti on buildings is an effective way to communicate with people. His works are very often aggressive, provocative and even rude. In his graffiti he expresses personal political and social views, which are against war and capitalism. Banksy is known not only for his graffiti works. He also likes playing "jokes". He sometimes unofficially hangs his works in the main art galleries. He doesn"t want to be paid for them because he"s sure art should be free. He says he wants to see how long it will take people to notice it. Once Banksy went into the Tate Gallery dressed as an old man, and glued a picture to the museum wall in protest of the Iraq War.

A7. There are opposite opinions about graffiti.

A8. Graffiti appeared only in the 20th century.
