The Earl of Sandwich lived long ago in England. He was a fanatic about playing cards. He didn't even want to stop playing long enough to eat a meal and refused to put his cards away. So his servant invented a quick meal for him. He put some meat between two slices of bread, so that the Earl could hold his meal in one hand and play cards with the other. Sandwiches were great favourites in Victorian England. It was a tradition to take an afternoon tea at about 5 o'clock, and many rich families ate sandwiches at that time. Cucumber sandwiches were very popular. The servants always cut the crusts off the bread, so the sandwiches were very small and delicate. Sandwiches are less elegant now and often much bigger. The American comic strip character Dagwood Bumstead is famous for his "Dagwood" sandwiches which have up to ten slices of bread packed with different fillings all one on top of the other. The English eat millions of sandwiches every day. They are a typical 'snack' meal because they are easy and quick to prepare. You can buy sandwiches if you don't want to make them yourself. There are thousands of sandwich bars and cafes and even some restaurants that sell them. 1. What kind of meal did the Earl's of Sandwich servant invent? a) Quick and convenient. b) Very delicious. c) Very good for health. d) Junk food. 2. What was one of the great traditions in Victorian England? a) Make cucumber sandwiches. b) Cut the crusts off the bread. c) Have 5 o'clock tea. d) Eat lots of sandwiches. 3. What kind of sandwiches do people have today? a) Very elegant. b) Very big. c) With many slices of bread. d) Much bigger than they used to be. 4. Why do people like to have sandwiches for their meal? a) Because sandwiches are a typical 'snack' meal. b) Because people can do sandwiches themselves. c) Because sandwiches are easy and quick to cook. d) Because people can buy sandwiches almost everywhere.

Прочитайте текст и отметьте какие из утверждений соответствуют содержанию текста – True, какие не соответствуют – False Baseball is one of the most popular American team games. The first American baseball match was held in 1839 in New York. Baseball is a bat-and-ball game played by two teams of nine players each. The aim is to score runs by hitting a thrown ball with a bat and touching a series of four bases arranged at the corners of a ninety-foot square. Every player and coach must wear a particular uniform: a shirt, pants, baseball cleats (specific shoes worn by the player for better traction with the earth) and a baseball cap designed to shade the eyes from the sun. Cricket is a popular summer sport in Britain. There are many cricket clubs in the country. Cricket players wear a certain uniform — white boots, a white T-shirt and white trousers. One cricket game takes a terribly long time. There are two teams of 11 players each and test matches between national teams can last up to 5 days. The rules of the game have changed over the years. It is a game which is associated with long sunny summer afternoons, the smell of new-mown grass and the sound of leather ball beating the willow cricket bat. Ice hockey is a favorite sport in Russia. Ice hockey is very popular because Russia is cold with lots of frozen lakes in the winter. The Russian national hockey team has always dominated the world championship and has also won several times in the Winter Olympics.

Read the text and choose the correct statements. Japan: A traditional Japanese breakfast includes a bowl of soup and some steamed rice. People serve these with some fish and vegetables, together with a cup of green tea. Good manners are very important at the table; the rice should always be on a person's left-hand side and the soup on the right. The United Kingdom: The typical English breakfast is a "fry-up" that includes a lot of fried food, like eggs, mushrooms, bacon, sausages and tomatoes with baked beans! They serve it with a few slices of toast and some butter and a cup of tea to finish. Not many people eat a "fry-up" every morning. When they wake up tomorrow, most Brits are probably going to eat a bowl of cereal. Poland: Polish people like a breakfast spread with a lot of choices. Fresh bread and creamy butter are essential. They prepare scrambled eggs, cold meats, sliced tomatoes and many different types of cheese for the breakfast table. They even have a soup made from milk. These days people can also have some yoghurt or cereal. Strong coffee or a pot of tea is always available.

Read the text and choose the correct answer to the following question. What is true about the people in Beihai Park? This month in Art Around the World, Fiona Hitchens visits China. My first introduction to Chinese art was an early morning walk in Beihai Park in Beijing. There, I saw elderly people writing on the pavement with paintbrushes which were a metre long! I soon learned that they were doing water calligraphy − writing in water. The words have meanings, but they are also art. The calligraphy quickly disappears, of course. But tomorrow, the old people will be back. Temporary art like this is very popular in China. Every winter, Harbin, in northern China, is visited by sculptors and tourists from around the world. They come for the Harbin Ice Festival, when the city has huge sculptures made out of ice. The sculptures are bigger than houses, and they take weeks to make. Harbin’s freezing winter temperatures make it very difficult for the artists to work outside. But the weather also means that the sculptures will be protected until the spring. A few days later in Tibet, western China, I watched artists make sand paintings. The pictures are full of symbols, and they have important religious meanings for Tibetan people. They look amazing, but the paintings are soon destroyed by the artists who make them. It is important for Tibetan culture to make these paintings, then have them destroyed. Of course, not all Chinese art is temporary − some of it has been around for a very long time! Near the city of Xi’an, I visited the amazing terracotta warriors, or soldiers. In 200 BCE, 8,000 statues of soldiers were made by sculptors out of a material called terracotta. They are as big as real people and they all have different faces. An important king had the statues produced to protect his body after he died. They stayed under the ground with the dead king for over 2,000 years, until they were discovered by a farmer in 1974. At the China Art Museum, in Shanghai, I saw wonderful 16th-century Chinese paintings of tall mountains, trees and cliffs. The paintings were beautiful, but they didn’t look very realistic to me at the time. ‘Mountains aren’t like that,’ I thought. But that was before the last stop on my trip: the mountains of Zhangjiajie National Park. These mountains were used by film director James Cameron in his sci-fi film Avatarbecause they look like something from another planet. On my last weekend in China, I took a cable car up into the mountains there. Trees grew on the sides of hundred-metre cliffs, and strange towers of rock appeared out of the morning fog. It looked just like the pictures in the China Art Museum. For a moment, I felt like I was inside a Chinese painting!

Changed from ancient times 2. First played in England 3. Appeared in the 19th century 4. Based on the children’s game 5. Played on pastures 6. Driven by 2 games 7. Highly arguable for Scottish people 8. Developed by the principal A. The origins of golf are highly debated. The Scots take total credit for it, and they are kind of right. The modern foundation of the game started in the mid-15th century in Scotland. However, there is evidence that the roots of the game sprouted in the small town of Loenen aan de Vecht in the Netherlands when it was played there in 1297. Besides the mention of colf in 1297, there is other evidence of golf-like games being played throughout the Netherlands centuries before the game of golf first appeared in Scottish literature in 1636. B. Canadians are gleefully boastful about their ice hockey heritage. According to them, it’s their game. However, according to a book that was published in 2014, hockey was probably invented in England. There are references to the game all the way back to as early the 1790s, and beyond that, it is unclear who created the game. Notable people who played included King Edward VII and Charles Darwin. Why Canada is often associated with hockey is that the first organized public game was played in Montreal on March 3, 1875. Before that, games were just played casually. C. Rugby supposedly got its start in 1876 when 16-year-old William Webb Ellis was playing soccer at the Rugby School in Warwickshire, England, and he picked up the ball and ran with it. Unfortunately, the story can’t be true because Ellis died in 1872, four years before he was credited with inventing rugby. The real story is that the game did grow out of the Rugby School and it was promoted by the school’s headmaster Thomas Arnold. The rules were first written in 1845 and it’s believed that the game grew out of soccer, but it’s unclear who was the first person to pick up the ball and run with it. D. Cricket is beloved in many countries around the world and watched by billions of people. In fact, it is the second most popular sport in the world. Cricket is believed to have gotten its start in the 13th century in rural England, where it was played by shepherds. The wicket gate of the sheep paddock was used as a target and then a ball of rags or wool was pitched at the target. An opposing player would use a shepherd’s crooked staff to prevent the ball from hitting the target. E. It’s believed that the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans all played some form of tennis. However, the linage of modern tennis starts around 1000 A.D. when it was played by French monks in a monastery. They would play with their hands and a wooded ball. The net was usually just a rope that stretched across a courtyard. This is also where tennis got its name. While playing, the monks would yell "tenez", which is French for "to take", while they served the ball. Over the next two centuries, the game gained popularity throughout Europe. F. Dr. James Naismith of Almonte, Ontario was born in 1861, he got his degree in physical education. After graduating, he moved to the United States, where he got a job at the Training School in Springfield. There, he was tasked with finding a suitable activity for a group of “incorrigibles.” The winters were cold in New England and the boys had to stay inside and became bored with all the games of the day. Naismith developed basketball remembering the game he played as a child called Duck on a Rock. G. The most common legend of the start of baseball is that it was invented in Cooperstown, New York, during the summer of 1839 by Abner Doubleday. After inventing the game, Doubleday went on to become a hero in the American Civil War. The only problem is that none of that is true. In 1839, Doubleday would have still been at West Point. Baseball probably descended from two games from England. The first is a game called rounders that was a children’s game that came to New England with the colonists, and the second is cricket.

Inside Shanghai’s World Chocolate Wonderland, everything from the BMW to the sushi, is made of chocolate! To celebrate the opening of this unusual theme park that is situated inside the city’s Himalaya Art Museum, organizers held a fashion show where models were wearing chocolate creations. There are a lot of other works of art to admire. That’s because the theme park shows the treat in every imaginable way. There are porcelain vases, classical paintings, Louis Vuitton purses, trainers and even Shanghai’s Huangpu River, flowing with liquid chocolate. However, the most impressive is the army of China’s warriors - scores of soldiers molded completely from chocolate. Visitors to the park can also try their hand at chocolate making or ask experts to create something original to take home. This is not the first time China has created this amazing Chocolate Wonderland. In 2010, a similar one in Beijing attracted over 500,000 visitors during the three months it was open. Wonderlands like this don’t last long. After about three months people take them down and melt into one big giant bowl of hot chocolate-Yummy!

Sometimes we put on a sweater and then find that the weather has become hot. We do not always know what weather to expect. On TV and radio there are daily weather forecasts. Sometimes, the forecast is not quite right as the weather is not an easy thing to forecast. All day and night, weathermen collect information from ships, planes, weather stations, and space stations. With the help of this information, they can understand what the weather will be like during the next few days. Although no two days will have exactly the same weather. Some types of weather people can forecast. When a barometer shows high pressure, the weather will be calm. In winter it will be cold and frosty. In summer it usually means misty mornings and hot sunny days. When the barometer shows low pressure, look out for rain and strong winds. As a result of the weathermen’s work, we learn about the weather.

Mediterranean diet A Mediterranean diet is based on the traditional healthy living habits of people from countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea. Mediterranean cuisine is mostly based on vegetables, fruits, beans, whole grains, olive oil and fish. The Mediterranean diet is associated with a better quality of life and good health, including a healthier heart, a longer lifespan and good weight. People on a Mediterranean diet have a 30% lower risk of heart disease and stroke. You can make your diet more Mediterranean by: - eating more bread and pasta, - eating more fruit and salad, including tomatoes and vegetables, - eating more fish, - eating less meat, - choosing products made from vegetable and plant oils, such as olive oil. The diet is similar to the doctor’s healthy eating advice that shows the foods needed for a balanced and healthy diet. The eat-well plate shows how much you should eat of each food group. This includes everything you eat during a day, including snacks. So, try to eat: - plenty of fruit and vegetables, - plenty of bread, rice, potatoes, pasta – choose wholegrain varieties if you can, - some milk and dairy products, - some meat, fish, eggs, beans and other non-diary sources of protein. Just a small amount of foods and drinks high in fat and/or sugar. It’s a good idea to try to get this balance every day, but you don’t need to do it at every meal. It’s easier to get the balance over a longer period, such as over a week.

Teen Enjoys Snowboard Success Local teenager Bonnie Williams has just become the champion of the Perisher snowboarding competition, which takes place every year in August. Bonnie, who has been a member of the Snow Mountain Local Club for the last two years, took part in the national event at just 14 years and three months. She was competing against much older girls, who are among the best in the country. But that isn’t all that this young girl has achieved. At the age of ten, she was signed up by the sportswear designer label, Booyong. ‘That was really important,’ she says. ‘After that, I was certain that I could be really good because people outside my family believed in me. It was fantastic.’ Her parents, Johnny and Kath, who live in the Snowy Mountains, own a shop that sells new sports equipment. Bonnie started snowboarding at the age of four, after her father gave her a snowboard. ‘I let her watch her older brother, who never took snowboarding very seriously! Bonnie knew just what to do. She had real talent from the start!’ her proud father Johnny told the Snowy Gazette. But Bonnie has worked hard. She began with lessons from local snowboard instructor, Jim Higgins. Then, two years ago, international coach Millie Furilly started working with Bonnie and was much more demanding of her, both in the amount of training they did and in improving her technique. “There were days when it was so hard to keep going, you know, I was so tired and so cold. But I’m so grateful to Millie!’ Bonnie has also competed in the USA, including in a competition in Copper Mountain, Colorado where she finished in first place. We asked her how she managed that, because there is a lot of strong competition in the States. “I know, there are a lot of really good boarders out there. I don’t know how I did it. I just always try my best!’ she told us. Bonnie attends her local school, but aims to get a grant to go to the Australian Institute of Sport. ‘I dream of going to the Winter Olympics and the X-trail Jam, an Asian competition held in Japan. It’s really hard, but I believe that if you want something like that then you’ve got to go for it. I can definitely see myself as a champion!’ We think she already is a champion. Well done, Bonnie!

Read the text and choose the correct options. The In-front-of-the-camera job, Behind-the-scenes Work ... Have you ever dreamed of a varied job which would involve presenting the Olympics on TV or interviewing celebrity figures like Paris Hilton or Jude Law? You do? Then why not become a TV or radio presenter? As a presenter, you’ll be working on a wide variety of projects. You may be interviewing guests on chat shows, hosting quiz and game shows, introducing sports or music programs, or presenting specialist programs like travel or gardening. If you prefer the serious stuff, you can specialize in current affairs or make documentaries. Although a presenter’s main job is done in front of the cameras, there’s a lot to do behind the scenes as well. You’ll be expected to plan each show with the producer or director, do research and rehearse the script. You may get to write your own material, and you’ll probably be involved in online broadcasting, too. Personality is important in this profession. You’ve got to be confident and outgoing and be able to interact with the audience. Ambition and motivation are very important too, along with excellent presentation skills and a good voice. Problems are bound to arise while you’re on air and quick decisions will be called for. You’ll need to think on your feet and stay calm under pressure. Life as a presenter can have its downsides. If you’re on a short contract, as is normal, you’ll be in and out of work quite frequently. Hours are sometimes unsociable, too. Getting up at 4 a.m. is tough, as is working late at night while your friends are out partying! And working conditions can be trying at times: while most TV studios are comfortable, working outside often involves spending time in all kinds of weather and situations. But these are minor worries, according to presenter Emma Johnson. "I host a radio breakfast show and it’s really exciting", she says. "I never know what to expect. I leave for work with my day planned out, but often something big will have happened by the time I get to the studio. I just say, Ok, I’ll change my plan and report on that instead. There are some nerve-racking situations but it’s what I like best about the job". She meets plenty of celebrities, too. "I’m interviewing a top boy band later today and this time tomorrow I’ll be flying to Hollywood to meet actor Russel Crowe," she explains. Although Emma loves her job, her big ambition is to work in TV. "My present contract runs out next month," she says. I’m going to have a holiday, and then I’ll be knocking on the door of my local TV company". Emma got into presenting through her acting background, but there is no set route into the profession. Some presenters have university qualifications, while music show hosts have often been performers themselves, or may have worked as DJs in clubs. For entertainment shows, presenters often have an acting background and audition to present the show. Competition is stiff in this field, so if you’re starting out and you want to get noticed ahead of other applicants, proof of practical work experience is essential. Producing a student newspaper is one way to get experience, as is volunteer work on a hospital or student radio station. Specializing in a certain area, like sport or music, can be useful, too. It looks good on your CV and marks you from the rest of the crowd. Want to know more? GetFamous.com is running a one-day TV presenter course next month. Experts will teach you all about the world of TV presenting while you try out your skills in front of the cameras.

Changed from ancient times 2. First played in England 3. Appeared in the 19th century 4. Based on the children’s game 5. Played on pastures 6. Driven by 2 games 7. Highly arguable for Scottish people 8. Developed by the principal A. The origins of golf are highly debated. The Scots take total credit for it, and they are kind of right. The modern foundation of the game started in the mid-15th century in Scotland. However, there is evidence that the roots of the game sprouted in the small town of Loenen aan de Vecht in the Netherlands when it was played there in 1297. Besides the mention of golf in 1297, there is other evidence of golf-like games being played throughout the Netherlands centuries before the game of golf first appeared in Scottish literature in 1636. B. Canadians are gleefully boastful about their ice hockey heritage. According to them, it’s their game. However, according to a book that was published in 2014, hockey was probably invented in England. There are references to the game all the way back to as early the 1790s, and beyond that, it is unclear who created the game. Notable people who played included King Edward VII and Charles Darwin. Why Canada is often associated with hockey is that the first organized public game was played in Montreal on March 3, 1875. Before that, games were just played casually. C. Rugby supposedly got its start in 1876 when 16-year-old William Webb Ellis was playing soccer at the Rugby School in Warwickshire, England, and he picked up the ball and ran with it. Unfortunately, the story can’t be true because Ellis died in 1872, four years before he was credited with inventing rugby. The real story is that the game did grow out of the Rugby School and it was promoted by the school’s headmaster Thomas Arnold. The rules were first written in 1845 and it’s believed that the game grew out of soccer, but it’s unclear who was the first person to pick up the ball and run with it. D. Cricket is beloved in many countries around the world and watched by billions of people. In fact, it is the second most popular sport in the world. Cricket is believed to have gotten its start in the 13th century in rural England, where it was played by shepherds. The wicket gate of the sheep paddock was used as a target and then a ball of rags or wool was pitched at the target. An opposing player would use a shepherd’s crooked staff to prevent the ball from hitting the target. E. It’s believed that the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans all played some form of tennis. However, the linage of modern tennis starts around 1000 A.D. when it was played by French monks in a monastery. They would play with their hands and a wooded ball. The net was usually just a rope that stretched across a courtyard. This is also where tennis got its name. While playing, the monks would yell "tenez", which is French for "to take", while they served the ball. Over the next two centuries, the game gained popularity throughout Europe. F. Dr. James Naismith of Almonte, Ontario was born in 1861, he got his degree in physical education. After graduating, he moved to the United States, where he got a job at the Training School in Springfield. There, he was tasked with finding a suitable activity for a group of “incorrigibles.” The winters were cold in New England and the boys had to stay inside and became bored with all the games of the day. Naismith developed basketball remembering the game he played as a child called Duck on a Rock. G. The most common legend of the start of baseball is that it was invented in Cooperstown, New York, during the summer of 1839 by Abner Doubleday. After inventing the game, Doubleday went on to become a hero in the American Civil War. The only problem is that none of that is true. In 1839, Doubleday would have still been at West Point.

Write down and revise 3. Information and technology 4. Never put off till tomorrow 5. Set realistic targets 6. Study plans per week 7. Find a place to your liking 8. More important at college A. Today’s young generation will also need to master a new skill – digital literacy. Digital literacy can be defined as “the ability to find, evaluate, utilize, share, and create content using information technologies and the Internet”. Digital literacy, by this definition, encompasses a wide range of skills, all of which are necessary to succeed in an increasingly digital world. Students who lack digital literacy skills may soon find themselves at a disadvantage. As technology changes, students also need to keep updated. B. The key to becoming an effective student is learning how to study smarter, not harder. This becomes more and more true as you advance in your education. An hour or two of studying a day is usually sufficient to make it through high school with satisfactory grades, but when college arrives, there aren’t enough hours in the day to squeeze all your studying in if you don’t know how to make your study efficient without skipping sleep or meals. The vast majority of successful college students achieve their success by developing and applying effective study habits. C. Ever find yourself up late at night expending more energy trying to keep your eyelids open than you are studying? If so, it’s time for a change. Successful students typically space their work out over shorter periods of time and rarely try to cram all of their studying into just one or two sessions. If you want to become a successful student, then you need to learn to be consistent in your studies and to have regular, yet shorter, study sessions, with periods of rest in between. That will give your brain time to process the new information. D. Successful students schedule specific times throughout the week when they are going to study – and then they stick with their schedule. Students who study sporadically and whimsically typically do not perform as well as students who have a set study schedule. Сreating a weekly routine, where you set aside a period of time a few days a week, to review your courses will ensure you develop habits that will enable you to succeed in your education long term. You won’t get stressed or overwhelmed by portioning your workload. E. It is very easy, and common, to put off your study session because of lack of interest in the subject, because you have other things you need to get done, or just because the assignment is hard and needs effort and perseverance. Successful students do not procrastinate studying. If you procrastinate your study session, your studying will become less effective and you may not get everything accomplished that you need to. Procrastination also leads to rushing, and rushing is the number one cause of errors. F. Always make sure to take good notes in class. Before you start each study session, and before you start a particular assignment, review your notes thoroughly to make sure you know how to complete the assignment correctly. Reviewing before each study session will help you remember important subject matter learned during the day, and make sure your studying is targeted and effective. Successful students also look through what they have written down at their lectures and seminars during the week over the weekend. G. Everyone gets distracted by something: TV, or maybe family. Some people actually study better with a little background noise. When you’re distracted while studying you lose your train of thought and are unable to focus – both of which will lead to very ineffective studying. Before you start, find a place where you won’t be disturbed. For some people this is a quiet cubical in the recesses of the library. For others it is in a common area where there is little background noise. For some it may be a park or a garden – there are so many options to choose from!

You have to make a summary of the article from the Ecology magazine to retell it in the lesson. Choose the right options to convey the main ideas of the article. Do you believe in climate change? This may seem like an odd question for a climate scientist to ask, but it is one I am constantly asked now. The typical discussion starts: "I know that the climate is changing, but hasn't it always changed through natural cycles?" Then they will often give an example, such as the medieval warm period to prove their point. Those asking the question include a wide range of people I meet in the pub, friends, politicians and, increasingly, even some of those active in sustainable development and the renewable energy businesses. What I find interesting is that I have known many of these people for a long time and they never asked me this before. Recent studies show that public acceptance of the scientific evidence for man-made climate change has decreased. However, the change is not that great. The difference I find in talking to people is that they feel better able to express their doubts. This is very hard for scientists to understand. The scientific evidence that humanity is having an effect on the climate is overwhelming and increasing every year. Yet public perception of this is confused. People modify their beliefs about uncomfortable truth, they may have become bored of constantly hearing about climate change; or external factors such as the financial crisis may have played a role. Around three years ago, I raised the issue of the way that science can be misused. In some cases scare stories in the media were over-hyping climate change, and I think we are paying the price for this now with a reaction the other way. I was concerned then that science is not always presented objectively by the media. What I don't think any of us appreciated at the time was the depth of disconnect between the scientific process and the public. Which brings me to the question, should you believe in climate change? The first point to make is that it's not something you should believe or not believe in – this is a matter of science and therefore of evidence – and there's a lot of it out there. On an issue this important, I think people should look at that evidence and make their own mind up. We are often very influenced by our own personal experience. After a couple of cold winters in the UK, the common question was: "Has climate change stopped?" despite that fact that many other regions of the world were experiencing record warm temperatures. And 2010 was one of the warmest years on record. For real evidence of climate change, we have to look at the bigger picture. You can see research by the Met Office that shows the evidence of man-made warming is even stronger than it was when the last report was published. A whole range of different datasets and independent analyses show the world is warming. There is a broad consensus that over the last half-century, warming has been rapid, and man-made greenhouse gas emissions are very likely to be the cause. Ultimately, as the planet continues to warm, the issue of whether you believe in climate change will become more and more irrelevant. We will all experience the impacts of climate change in some way, so the evidence will be there in plain sight. The more appropriate questions for today are how will our climate change and how can we prepare for those changes? That's why it's important that climate scientists continue their work, and continue sharing their evidence and research so people can stay up to date – and make up their own minds. 1.

We will all experience the impacts of climate change in some way, so the evidence will be there in plain sight. The more appropriate questions for today are how will our climate change and how can we prepare for those changes? That's why it's important that climate scientists continue their work, and continue sharing their evidence and research so people can stay up to date – and make up their own minds. 3. What is meant by “uncomfortable truth” in paragraph 4?
You have to make a summary of the article from the Ecology magazine to retell it in the lesson. Choose the right options to convey the main ideas of the article. Do you believe in climate change? This may seem like an odd question for a climate scientist to ask, but it is one I am constantly asked now. The typical discussion starts: "I know that the climate is changing, but hasn't it always changed through natural cycles?" Then they will often give an example, such as the medieval warm period to prove their point. Those asking the question include a wide range of people I meet in the pub, friends, politicians and, increasingly, even some of those active in sustainable development and the renewable energy businesses. What I find interesting is that I have known many of these people for a long time and they never asked me this before. Recent studies show that public acceptance of the scientific evidence for man-made climate change has decreased. However, the change is not that great. The difference I find in talking to people is that they feel better able to express their doubts. This is very hard for scientists to understand. The scientific evidence that humanity is having an effect on the climate is overwhelming and increasing every year. Yet public perception of this is confused. People modify their beliefs about uncomfortable truth, they may have become bored of constantly hearing about climate change; or external factors such as the financial crisis may have played a role. Around three years ago, I raised the issue of the way that science can be misused. In some cases scare stories in the media were over-hyping climate change, and I think we are paying the price for this now with a reaction the other way. I was concerned then that science is not always presented objectively by the media. What I don't think any of us appreciated at the time was the depth of disconnect between the scientific process and the public. Which brings me to the question, should you believe in climate change? The first point to make is that it's not something you should believe or not believe in – this is a matter of science and therefore of evidence – and there's a lot of it out there. On an issue this important, I think people should look at that evidence and make their own mind up. We are often very influenced by our own personal experience. After a couple of cold winters in the UK, the common question was: "Has climate change stopped?" despite that fact that many other regions of the world were experiencing record warm temperatures. And 2010 was one of the warmest years on record. For real evidence of climate change, we have to look at the bigger picture. You can see research by the Met Office that shows the evidence of man-made warming is even stronger than it was when the last report was published. A whole range of different datasets and independent analyses show the world is warming.
