Read the text and mark the statements True (T), False (F), Not Stated (NS). My Holidays. After each term at school we have holidays. It’s fun to have holidays, you can do whatever you like, you don’t have to get up too early, do your homework or think of troubles at school. Most of all I like summer holidays, they are the longest ones, though, when winter is snowy and frosty, I enjoy my winter holidays. I like skating and skiing, sledging and making a snowman or having a fight with snowballs. Last summer we went to Sochi. First, we travelled to Odessa by plane and from there we got to Sochi by boat. We stayed in Odessa for three days. Our relatives live there and we stayed with them. We had an excellent opportunity to go round the city, to see beautiful monuments to famous people, museums and the Odessa Opera House. We enjoyed our trip from Odessa to Sochi. The Black Sea was calm. We sat on deck looking at the sea. I liked Sochi very much. We went boating and swimming, lay in the sun on the beach. In the evenings we went for a walk or dropped in at a cafe to have ice cream or juice. My father showed us the famous Botanic Gardens, we went hiking in the mountains, and we saw the magnificent Augura Waterfalls. Katya Sokolova, 12 Summer holidays noware as long as winter ones. ____

Не especially enjoys taking long rides through the city. То my surprise, I found he never wears а helmet. I began to wonder why а person who spends so much time and money developing his mind doesn’t wear а helmet. Riding а bicycle without а helmet greatly increases his risk of brain injury (черепно-мозговая травма). Each year, over 50,000 people in the United States suffer some form of brain injury from а bicycle accident. Unfortunately, many of them have long-lasting effects. Getting medical treatment (лечение) can cost much money and can take many years. Compare this waste of time and money with the $40 you spend оn а bicycle helmet. It is not always easy to get а friend to wear а bicycle helmet. Ве patient! Give your friend time to come to his or her own decision about wearing one. Invite your friend to take а bicycle ride with you. Without saying anything, put your helmet оn quietly. If you stop at а store during your bike ride, keep your helmet on. This will send а message that you are comfortable wearing а helmet both оn and off your bike. If you remove it too quickly, your friend may think wearing а helmet is not very nice. Buying your friend а helmet as а present may not be such а good idea. Your friend may feel you are pushing too hard. Each person needs to reach his or her own conclusions (выводы) about safety and how to protect the body. Bicycle helmets as birthday presents are very popular._____

Some go hunting, others prefer to climb mountains. A lot of people have holidays relative to sports activities, such as hiking, cycling, horse-back riding, rowing and canoeing, as well as scuba diving or even bungee jumping. Others choose a resort or a spa. A good idea is to go somewhere abroad to see another country. When you begin thinking and dreaming about the sun and the sea you are ready for a holiday. It’s good to go somewhere quiet where the climate is pleasant. For the first couple of days you should rest and sleep as much as you can. Eat local food. Try to learn local customs and traditions. A little sightseeing is a good thing. Always have a dictionary of the local language and pick up a few words. It’s not a bad idea to get to know the place as well as you can. Be sure to take the necessary clothes and dress according to the climate. Remember that the sun is good for some people and very bad for others. Protective oils and creams are necessary for a holiday. Don’t forget about your camera and take pictures. They will help to remember the most enjoyable moments!

The animal is cute and non-aggressive, but it’s difficult to see a koala in the Zoo and no one ever keeps them as pets. Why is it so? The main reason why people shouldn’t try to take koalas out from their natural home is their diet. It’s a strict diet of eucalyptus leaves as koalas practically never eat anything else. In Australia there are over 600 types of eucalyptus, but koalas eat only 40–50 varieties with only about 10 being preferred. And even if you find the koala’s most favourite tree and plant it in your backyard, you won’t be able to supply your koala-pet with food anyway. The thing is that koalas eat only fresh young leaves, and the tree has few of them. So, to keep a koala happy and healthy, you would have to plant about 100 eucalyptus trees! It’s difficult to explain why koalas love eucalyptus leaves so much. The leaves are tough and feel like rubber. They have very few calories and they are poisonous to most animals. Koalas, however, cope with such a diet easily. Nature has equipped them with specialised adaptations. Each koala eats approximately 200 to 500 grams of leaves per day. They are very slow eaters and they manage to get the maximum amount of energy from such a small amount of food. They also sleep for up to 18 hours per day in order to conserve energy. Koalas spend all their lives on eucalyptus trees and they don’t have any need to leave them. Normally the animals don’t drink water as they receive it from the leaves. For this reason the koala got its name from an ancient Aboriginal word meaning “no drink”. Koalas live in societies, just like humans, so they need to be able to come into contact with other koalas. They live in suitable eucalyptus forests which are large enough to support a healthy koala population and to allow for expansion by maturing young koalas. In spite of their peaceful and sleepy look, koalas are highly territorial animals and don’t allow strangers to approach their “home trees” and “food trees”. A female koala gives birth to only one baby in one or two years. It's hairless, blind and very little – about 2 cms long! It gets into the mother's pouch – a special pocket of skin on the stomach – and stays there for six or seven months. Then it gets out of the pouch but stays with the mother until it's about one year old. Koalas are slow-breeding animals and their population can't grow fast. The animals were in danger of extinction at the beginning of the 20th century when the koala was hunted for its fur. Fortunately, the population has been restored and today the Australian government doesn't consider the koala as endangered.

Education in England and Wales There are four types of schools in the English and Welsh education system – nursery, primary, secondary and private schools. Scotland has its own education system, which is different. Children start school at the age of five, but there is some free nursery-school education before that age. The state nursery schools are not for all. They are for some families, for example for families with only one parent. In most areas there are private nursery schools. Parents who want their children to go to nursery school pay for their children under 5 years old to go to these private nursery schools. Primary school is divided into infant school (pupils from 5 to 7 years old) and junior school (from 8 to 11 years old). In some areas there are middle schools instead of junior schools, which take pupils from 9 to 12 years old. Primary schools have from 50-200 pupils. Secondary schools are usually much larger than primary schools and most children - over 80 percent - go to a comprehensive school at the age of 11. These schools are for all. Pupils do not need to pass an exam to go to these schools. These schools are large. They have from 1.200 - 2.500 pupils. School lasts all day in the UK, so there is only one shift. In some areas there are grammar schools. Pupils must pass special exams to go to these schools. Some parents prefer private education. In England and Wales, private schools are called public schools. They are very expensive. Only 5 per cent of the school population goes to public schools. Public schools are for pupils from 5 or 7 to 18 years old. Some public schools are day schools, but many public schools are boarding schools. Pupils live in the school and go home in the holidays.
