1. Did Martin Eden begin to write when he returned to San Fransisco?

2. Martine continued to write and study at the same time, didn’t he?

3. Had Martin wait for about a month or a week before he decided to go to the publisher?

4. How many hours did Martin sleep?

5. Who thought that five dollars for five thousand words was very little?

Переводить «One morning the postman brought him a short thin envelope. There was no manuscript in that envelope, therefore, Martin thought they had taken the story. It was The Ring of the Bells. In the letter the editor of a San Francisco magazine said that the story was good. They would pay the author five dollars for it. And he would receive the check when the story was published.»

My favorite English writer is Agatha Christie. She was born on 15 SEPTEMBER 1890 in Ashfield. The name of Agatha Christie is a synonym for high-class detective story. According to Agatha Christie herself, she began to write just to imitate her sister whose stories had already been published in magazines. During the First World War she was a nurse, then she studied pharmacology. Twenty years later she worked in a military hospital at the beginning of the Second World War. The favourite personages of the "queen of detective story" are the detective Hercules Poirot and Miss Marple who carry out investigations in noisy London. The composition of her stories is very simple: a comparatively closed space with a limited number of characters and everyone is suspected. Agatha Christie's novels are very popular now. People of all continents read and reread her novels. She is known as the "queen of detective story".

FLIGHT

1. Did people for many centuries watch birds and dream that they could fly?

2. Reports tell us that the inventor flew some distance, but the landing was hard, wasn’t it?

3. Did the Italian Leonardo da Vinci or German Albert Einstein study the flight of birds and make a number of drawings of flying machines

4. Where was the first flying machine build?

5. Who drew a machine with wings that didn’t move?

Переводить «In the last years of the 15th century, the Italian Leonardo da Vinci studied the flight of birds and made a number of drawings of flying machines. His early machines tried to copy the movement of birds` wings, which he didn’t fully understand. But less than 10 years before his death in 1519, he drew a machine with wings that didn’t move. One of the machines was built and it did fly.»

All state schools in Britain are free, and schools provide their pupils with books and equipment for their studies. Education is compulsory from 5 till 16 years. Parents can choose to send their children to a nursery school or a pre-school playgroup to prepare them for the start of compulsory education. Children start primary school at 5 and continue until they are 11. Most children are taught together, boys and girls in the same class. At 11 most pupils go to secondary schools. At 16 pupils take a national exam and then they can leave school if they wish. Some 16-year-olds continue their studies in the sixth form at school or at a sixth form college. The sixth form prepares pupils for a national exam called «A» level, wich you need to enter the university. Other 16-year-olds choose to go to a college of further education to study for more practical diplomas relating to the world of work, such as hairdressing, typing or mechanics. Universities and colleges of higher education accept students with «A» levels from 18. Most students graduate at 21 or 22.
