1. Speak about the most striking traits of peoples character

During our life we get in touch with many people. We all know a

password: “So many characters, so many people “ and it is really true.

Character is the most important thing in a person which attracts or

repulses other people. Each of us has his or hers good and bad features

of character, but some of them come to the fore that’s why we can say :

“He is a bad man , because he is rude or impertinent . And he is a good man

because he is courageous, generous, kind-hearted . I have many friends &

a lot of acquaintances and they are all different . Some of them are very

kind-hearted and friendly some are not so kind but they are devoted

friends and always help me and their friends, but they can be very cold or

indifferent to other people. Also some feature have a double nature

example: modesty or perseverance and others. Modest people are usually

polite, quite, but sometimes they tend to be too reticence. Persevering

people can become obstinate. As for me I like devotedness , wittiness ,

kindness, friendliness , in people. I think that there are 2 sorts of kind

people. The first sort is really ,kind-hearted people who are always

ready to help all people in the world no matter what social position they

have The other sort who only try to look kind and friendly. But they are

friendly only with people whom they interested in. I hate such people

because you don’t know if they are really good or only want to look

friendly and I cannot trust them. A lot of things can change a person’s

character. If you are a kind man and you has grow up with rude, cruel

people you can become the like them or vice versa a bad man can become

kind. Some people have a strong character and they can try to change and

become good. For example people why often let of their steam it is

necessary to control themselves and so on. Every character forms in the

society therefore in the society determines one’s character. Also I

believe that Signs of Zodiac influence one’s character. Every Symbol has

own features common for all people born under this symbol. For example I’m

Libra ,in my Horoscope it says that in me there are 2 persons. And other

good and bad features. But I also believe that everyone can change his

character, adding more good or bad features.

2. Travelling by air .Give your counter reasons in fever of flying.

It is very interesting to travel. You can see other countries,

continents, you acquainted with other people , their traditions and

customs. You can travel by car , by train, by air, by sea. If you like to

see the nature, and you enjoy the process of travelling and you have a

route it will be easier if you travel by car. Travelling by train is

usually chosen by people who have enough time to get from one place to

another . Travelling by air usually preferred by people who haven’t got

much time and they must quickly get to another city, country or continent.

Nowadays there are a lot of businessmen who have to communicate with people

from other countries. Every day they must sign a lot of contracts.

Sometimes they have to sign several contracts within one day ,for example

in France and in Spain .And if there were no planes it would be impossible.

Each of us has a lot of relatives and friends. Some of them live in other

countries. For example you live in Russia, Moscow and you have some

relatives in France or in Britain. You certainly can get to GB by train ,

and by sea but it will take you a lot of time. It would be easier if you

choose a plane. Imagine that something has happened to your friends and you

are need very immediately. The plane will help you in this case. Nowadays

we try to use fast means of travelling such as a modern high-speed railway

in France and certainly planes. As for trains there are railway stations ,

for planes there are airports. In every airport there are some formalities

without which you cannot come or leave the country .At first it is

Customs. Every country has it’s regulations. Then you are given luggage

tags and boarding passes. The last is the Passport control. When you decide

to travel by air you can buy first and economy class tickets. The first

class is more comfortable than economy and it is always more expensive .In

spite of first class tickets being very expensive have some advantages over

economy. At first it is more comfortable seats. The dinner is much better

then in economy class , and if you have bought a first class ticket you can

have 30 kg luggage free of charge. Also you have a private emergency exit

for the first class passages only. You have one more advantage : you can

take any drinks free. Although flying by plane is very fast it has some

inconveniences. There is a jet-lag, a difference between the time you are

accustomed to and the new time. At first you won’t be very well because of

it , but don’t worry – it won’t take you long to get used to it. As a

whole to fly by planes is pleasant and convenient

3 . Speak about airport formalities

Passengers are requested to arrive at the airport 2 hors before

departure time. They must register their tickets, weigh in and register the

luggage. Most airports have at least 2 classes of travel, first class and

economy class, which is cheaper. Each passenger of more than 2 years of age

has free luggage allowance. Generally this limit is 20 kg for economy class

passengers and 30 kg for first class passengers, excess luggage must be

paid for except for some articles that can be carried free of charge. The

rules for passengers who are going abroad are similar in most countries but

sometimes there might be a slight difference in formalities. If , for

instance , you are supposed to begin with going through the Customs, you’d

better fill in the customs declaration before you talk to the customs

officer. He may ask any passenger routine questions about declare the

things, spirits , tobacco , presents. Then you do to the check – in counter

where your ticket is looked at, your things are weighed and labelled. The

next formality is filling in the immigration form and going through

passport control. The form has to be filled in block letters . You write

your name, nationality, permanent address and the purpose of your trip. In

most countries there is also a security check when your carry-luggage is

inspected. This is an anti-hijacking measure, and anything that might be

dangerous or disturbing to other passengers must be handed to one of the

crew and only returned to the owner after the plane has reached its

destination. After fulfilling all these formalities you go to the

departure lounge where you can have a snack , read a paper buy something in

the duty-free shop and wait for the announcement to board the plane. Some

of these formalities are repeated when you arrive at your destination. The

customer declaration and the immigration form are often filled in on board

the plane. At the airport you may be met by a specially trained dog who’ll

make sure that you are not earring drugs, and the immigration officer might

want to know on whose invitation you are coming and whether you have a

return ticket. There is one inconvenience you have to be prepared for when

you travelling long distances by plane. It’s a difference between the time

you are accustomed to and the new time. At first you won’t be feeling very

well because of it, but don’t worry – it won’t take you long to get used to

it.

4. Staying at the hotel. Speak about everyday services available at the

hotel.

When you come to another country or city you can stay at your friend’s

house or flat. But if you haven’t got any relatives or friends you may stay

at a hotel. There are 2 sorts of hotels: at the seaside and in city The

hotels at the seaside usually occupied big territory . And the services

and facilities are usually better there then in city hotels. You can get

more things free. Also at the seaside hotels food is served usually 2 of 3

times a day and in city hotels you can get only breakfast . Before you

arrive somewhere you can make arrangements about a room of the hotel you’ll

choose. You can call at the hotel of send them a fax or telegram which

numbers you can find in the advertisement. If you haven’t done it , when

you arrive at the hotel it is necessary to come up to the reception desk

.There a person can order a room. First of all you must fill in an arrival

card. In this card you must gave information about yourself. Your name and

surname, telephone number and address besides it is necessary to point out

how long are you going to stay here. Also among the seaside hotels the best

with club system . Usually on the territory of such hotels there are 4-5

storied building with single rooms, double rooms, and suites and separate

there are family cottages. The area of such hotels is usually very big

about 50hectores . Club system allows to take free any , soft drinks, food

24 hours a day, because everything is included into the price of the tour.

There are all day room services , dry cleaners, laundries. In the rooms

there is a refrigerator, bathroom, a satellite TV and direct dial phone.

Also such hotels have their own place on the beach with comfortable sun

beds .You can spend time riding horses, playing tennis, golf, polo,

visiting shops, which are usually situated in the territory of the hotels.

In the evenings you can go to the disco or to the restaurant . The menu in

the restaurants including different cuisine’s such as :French, Spanish,

Chinese, Turkish, Russian and so on. You can order a yacht tour to some

historical places (if any) or something like that. After visiting such

hotels you’ll return home happy and refreshed.

5. Speak about foods you like and dislike. Describe any recipe.

Meals play an important role in human life. Because it contained

indispensable ingredients for life activity of our organism. Such as

dioxides, fats, minerals and vitamins. They are contained in fish,

vegetables, fruits, meat and other food stuffs . To be healthy man should

eat 3 times a day. For lunch people usually eat buiscuits, toasts,

sandwiches, cheese and drink coffee or tea with cream and sugar accordingly

to your taste . For dinner we eat some soup, salad and fowl, fish or meat

with garnish. Many people have to eat out of home in restaurants or in

cafes . In such places you can order French fries, hamburgers,

cheeseburgers, crisps, pizza and many others, but these meals are very

harmful for our health. There are people who like salty and spicy or sweet

food. Also we all like roasted and grilled food , but such it is also very

harmful . Nowadays a lot of people believe that only healthy food must

be eaten. They don’t eat spaghetti, chops, sausages, grilled meat fish,

fowl. They prefer to eat boiled and stewed vegetables such as cabbage,

cauliflower, egg-plants, carrots. They certainly eat meat and fish but

only boiled. Also there are people who don’t eat meat or fowl at all . They

are vegetarians. But it isn’t good, because in fish and in meat there are

some ingredients without which our health won’t be strong. In all big

cities you can find Indian, Chinese Japanese and other oriental

restaurants . Nowadays you can order you favourite meals by telephone, but

despite it a lot of people like to cook themselves .Before cooking

something you must buy some food stuffs. In big cities there are

supermarkets and department stores where you can buy everything you need

in daily life: from a tooth brush up to cars and furniture. Certainly you

can buy there any you food stuffs. like Also there are food shops and

markets. In markets it is better to buy greens, vegetables and fruits.

Meat, fowl and fish it is safer to bay in shops because they must be kept

refrigerator. As for me I like salty and spicy food . For example I’ll

never refuse to eat grilled meat or stuffed egg-plants. I like caviar,

shrimps, pate, bacon, cold pork.

6.Speak about shopping in GB.

centre of fashion. But in the last century her place was occupied by GB.

At that time a lot of new modern shops appeared. Now their branches are
