Task 1.
Read the text and mark the statements True (T), False (F), Not Stated (NS).
History of the Rouble.
The rouble has been the currency in Russia for 500 years. The name “rouble” is thought
to come from the Russian for “chop”, literally referring to the way a section was cut off
a silver ingot, each section had a different value according to its weight.
Since December 2013 the official symbol of the Russian rouble is the Cyrillic letter P
with a single added horizontal stroke.
In 1710 the rouble was first divided into kopeks, 100 of which made up a rouble. Ten
roubles are sometimes referred to as chervonets. Historically, it was the name for the
first Russian three-rouble gold coin issued for general circulation in 1701. The current
meaning comes from the Soviet golden chervonets issued in 1923. All these names are
no longer in use, however.
In the 18
th
century half a kopek or a single kopek were made from copper, while five
kopeks up to 50 kopeks and one rouble coins were originally made from gold.
After the Russian civil war, silver was used for lower value coins with gold chervonets
minted in 1923. In 1961 new materials such as aluminium and bronze were introduced,
along with nickel and zinc.
Between 1769 and 1917 there were only Imperial issued bank notes, or assignats. After
1917 the provisional government issued bank notes, called kerenki. Soon after, in 1918
state credit notes were issued, followed by currency notes the following year.
1. Russian rouble has a long history.
2. Several centuries ago one of the tsars introduced rouble as Russian currency.
3. In old times only merchants used roubles.
4. The symbol of the rouble is double “P”.
5. In the 18
th
century rouble was divided into kopeks.
6. The names are still used when shopping.
7. Gold, silver and bronze are used to make coins nowadays.
8. Banknotes appeared in the Soviet period for the firs time.
Task 2.
Read the text and mach the titles to the paragraphs. One title is extra.
1. Modern versions.
2. The day to mark records.
3. The origin of the name.
4. A collection of records.
5. The talented brothers.
6. The beginnings.
A. Guinness World Records, known until 2000 as The Guinness Book of Records is
a reference book published annually, containing a collection of world records,
both human achievements and the extremes of the nature world. The Guinness
Book of Records was first published on 27 August 1955 and in 50 years it sold
more than a hundred million copies.
B. On an unknown date in November 1951, Sir Hugh Beaver (1890-1967) was out
shooting. That evening it was realized that it was not possible to confirm in
reference books whether or not the golden plover was Europe’s fastest game bird.
It occurred to Sir Hugh, managing director of the Guinness Breweries, that there
must be numerous other questions debated in Britain and in Ireland, but there was
no reference book with which to settle arguments about records. He realized then
that a book supplying the answers to this sort of question might prove popular.
C. On 12 September 1954, Sir Hugh invited the twins Norris and Ross McWhirter to
see if their agency in London could help. After founding The Guinness Book of
Records at 107 Fleet Street, London, the first 197-page edition came out on 27
August 1955 and went to the top of the British bestseller lists by Christmas. The
McWhirters continued to publish it for many years. Both brothers had an
encyclopedic memory on the TV series Record Breakers, based on the book,
they were asked questions by children in the audience on various world records
and could usually give the correct answer.
D. Recent editions have focused on record feats by human competitors.
Competitions range from obvious ones such as weightlifting to the longest egg
tossing distance. Besides records about competitions, the book contains such facts
as the most poisonous plant, the shortest river, the longest running drama in the
USA, etc. Many records also relate to the youngest person who achieved
something.
E. In 2005, Guinness designated 9 November as International Guinness World
Records Day to encourage breaking world records. For many records, Guinness
World Records is the effective authority on the exact requirements for them.
Guinness World Records sells about 3.5 million copies a year in 23 languages in
a hundred countries.

Tapescripts.
Speaker 1 (woman)
Many people often plan their summer holidays months ahead. To make the most of them, make sure
you chose the holiday that is right for you. For example, if you just need to relax and not do much, a
beach holiday would best suit you. If you like to explore new cultures and visit museums, you can sign
up for a guided tour. If you are going away with your family, make sure your destination includes
activities that people of all ages can enjoy.
Speaker 2 (man) My last business trip was a disaster! I rushed to the airport, only to realize that I had
forgotten my briefcase with my presentation at the office. There was no time to go back, so I boarded
the plane without it. During the flight I tried to get some sleep, but this annoying man next to me was
talking all the time, which was very frustrating. When I finally got to the hotel? My secretary had left a
note telling she had emailed all the documents I would need. Finally, some good news!
Speaker 3 (woman) Tow years ago, I visited Paris. It was amazing! There were countless things to see
and at the end of each day I was exhausted by all the walking! I visited many museums and famous
landmarks. The language difference was a little hard, but many people spoke English. I also bought
some things. They were really expensive, but of excellent quality. However, I was shocked to find out
that the food was no so good as people say. But, all in all, I had a wonderful time!
Speaker 4 (man)
One of my favourite things to do after my holidays is to develop my pictures. I take dozens of snaps
when on holiday and it sometimes takes me days to put them in order and in albums. I have pictures
from my visit to Kenya, China, Bali and Italy. At the beginning, I used to take pictures of all the
landmarks, but then I realized that those were boring. I have since started to take pictures of the strange
things that make each country unique. Also, if I do decide to take pictures of landmarks, I make sure
people are standing in front. Who knows, may be some day I can create a picture book with all my
snaps.
Speaker 5 (girl)
Last year, my friends and I participated in a school exchange programme. For two weeks, we had the
opportunity to live with a family in another country. We were sent to three different host families in
Boston. My host family was nice, but their daughter was a bit strange. She hardly spoke to me, and
kept looking at me in a curious way! Also, while my other friends went on exciting excursions with
their host families, I had tow dull weeks, sitting inside a house watching American television. Let’s
just say I was happy to return home.
