A Smart Lesson
Harry was always making excuses for forgetting to do things. His usual excuse was "I was too busy" or "I didn't have time". Harry's parents were worried about him. "He mustn't go through life making excuses all the time", his father said. "No one will trust him to do anything. He won't be able to keep a job. No sensible girl will want to marry him".
"I don't know what we can do", his mother said.
"I have an idea", his father said. "If this doesn't work, nothing will".
The next day was Harry's birthday. He was really looking forward to getting exciting presents. He woke up expecting his parents to wish him "Happy Birthday!" but all they said was "Good morning. Harry. Hurry, or you'll be late for school". There were no presents, not even a card. He was very disappointed. "Never mind", he thought. "There'll be a surprise for me after school". But there wasn't. Sadly he said to his parents at dinner, "Today's my birthday". "Oh!" his father said. "So it is. I forgot.'
"So did I", his mother said. "How could you forget?" Harry asked. "There must be a reason". "Well, yes", his father said. "We have a really good excuse for forgetting your birthday, Harry. We didn't remember your birthday because we were too busy". Poor Harry. He never had a silly excuse for not doing something again.

My favourite writer
My name is John, I am thirteen years old. I iive in England, in Nottingham. I am fond of reading English literature. We've got a big home library. My favourite writer is Charles Dickens. He was born in 1812 and lived till 1 870. He is one of England's greatest writers. At a young age Dickens was forced to work in a factory under terrible conditions. The boy's childhood was very hard and sad. Then Dickens worked as a reporter in law courts and later for London newspapers. In 1837 he published his comic novel "The Pickwick Papers" which made him popular. A long line of successful novels followed: "Oliver Twist" (1837), "A Christmas Carol" (1843), "A Tale of Two Cities" (1859) and "Great Expectations" (1861). Dickens saw all the social evils of the English society and they worried him greatly. I'd like to point to the most favourite books of mine written by this famous writer. The first one is a novel "David Copperfield" which he wrote in 1849 - 1850. This novel is partly based on Dickens's early life and his struggle to become a writer. The characters in the book were actual people Dickens knew while many adventures of the hero, David Copperfield, were part of his own experience as a young boy. Another novel which is worth reading is "A Christmas Carol". It's a wonderful story written by Dickens more than a century and a half ago. The writer wanted to show that love, care and patience: were much, stronger that greediness, anger and hatred. People of all generations and of all times should remember about it.

1812_____1837_______ 1843_______ 1849-1850________

II. Read the text Entertainments
There is a plenty of entertainments in the world and people can choose them according to their tastes, mood or maybe opportunities. Entertainments include films, TV. books, concerts, cinemas, theatres, discos, travelling and different parties. Some families prefer to take their children to museums, art galleries or parks at the weekend. It's a nice way of spending free time together for the whole family. It is quite normal for British families to visit theme parks in summer. The amusements on offer at such parks include a range of rides in various ways, some of them can bathe you in the water. The really adventurous rides turn you upside down at great speed. It's very exciting for all visitors. And this must be how the British enjoy themselves most because last year the nine most famous theme parks attracted more than twenty million visitors. The British Museum is another place which attracts people in their free time. It is officially described as the National Library and Museum of History, Archaeology, Art and Ethnography. Here it is possible to find great collections, including exhibits from the Pacific islands (ancient Polynesian idols) and America (the Aztec sculptures).
