3.Работа с учебными текстами.
Teacher: You must read different opinions of the books: Pamela’s opinion, Andy’s opinion
and Margaret’s opinion.
Pamela
You asked me why I like reading books, didn’t you? I should say books have been my best
friends for many years. You know, I’m the only child in my family. My parents were always
busy with their work and I used to spent a lot of time playing with my toys. But from time to
time, especially on holidays, they used to present me with wonderful new books: fairy tales,
fantasy books, science fiction. Some of them were written ages ago. But I enjoyed them very
much. And they are still interesting for people of my generation. That’s why I believe books
are the most ancient media.
Andy
I didn’t like reading when I was a little boy. It was boring to sit for hours with a book in my
hands trying to learn what happened to the characters. I used to play football and basketball
with my friends. I have to confess, I read very slowly. At school we are given a lot of
homework, so I have to read anyway: history and literature, biology and geography. So much
reading! Not long ago the situation changed. My father bought me my first CD book. It’s
fantastic! It’s like a computer game. Turning the pages over you can see what’s happening in
pictures, in colors and in action! It’s really amazing. I think CD books will be much more
popular with teenagers of my generation than printed books.
Margaret
Lots of my friends are not keen on reading books. They prefer going to discos, playing
computer games, watching TV and videos. I’m shy and not very sociable and I don’t spend
much time going to noisy parties. But I don’t feel lonely thank’s to the books I love. When I
was a little girl, I loved turning the pages over and over, looking at the beautiful pictures and
guessing what the characters would say and do. I started reading when I was only five. I
imagined myself travelling everywhere, speaking different languages, climbing mountains
and flying to other planets. I believe that nearly all I know I learned from books. Those of
my friends who read a lot are smart and interesting to talk to. As a rule they are very good at
English. Reading is a special world full of adventures and joy.
Teacher: You have red different opinions of the books: Pamela’s opinion, Andy’s opinion
and Margaret’s opinion. Read the questions and try to answer the questions.

5.Работа с текстами.
Teacher: Read the four separate parts of the text below. Arrange them to make up one text.
1. Radio, television and the Internet, the great inventions of the 20
th
century, have not
made the importance of printing lessened. Books keep alive for us the knowledge of
the past, and they teach us what we need to know for the present and what we must
know to build a still better future.
2. Books, newspapers, tabloids and magazines are so common these days that we cannot
imagine the world without them. But five hundred years ago, there were no such
things: most of the people in one place knew almost nothing about what was
happening a hundred miles away, and nothing about foreign countries. Information
was mostly transferred by travelers who used to tell stories about the place they had
seen.
3. These days you can read books on CDs. Of course they are different from printed
books, they are animated, moving and well illustrated. The Internet provides us with
access to any library in the world. But books are still loved by people.
4. Ivan Fyodorov in Russia, Gutenberg in Germany and Caxton in England began to
print books in the 15
th
century, the same century in which Columbus discovered
America. Columbus discovered a new world; but the printers opened new world of
thoughts and knowledge that changed the lives of millions everywhere.
Teacher: Work in pairs. Interview each other. Find out which of the facts were to your
partner.
a) Books were first printed in the 15
th
century.
b) Printers started printing books in three countries at the same time.
c) These days anyone can read books on CDs.
d) Columbus discovered America five centuries ago.
e) The Internet provides us with access to any library all over the world.
f) Not long ago people living in one part of the world didn’t know much about the life
of people in their neighbouring countries.
