I. Read the paragraphs of a Russian fairy tale and put them in order (1 – 7).

aOnce upon a time there lived a rich man who had many servants. One of the servants was Ivan. He was a hunter. One day the rich man sent the hunter into the darkest part of the forest. He wanted Ivan to hunt some animals and birds.

BShe was very upset and began to cry. Ivan was sorry for her. He stepped from behind the stone and returned the shoes to the maiden. She looked into Ivan’s eyes and understood he was in love with her. She liked the young man too. They got married and lived a happy life. …And as for the rich man, he is still waiting for Ivan to return.

CThe next day the rich man sent Ivan to the forest again. Ivan set out for the Crystal Lake. He came to the lake and hid behind a large stone. Some minutes later the twelve swans flew down and began to splash and play on the water. Ivan couldn’t kill the beautiful birds and returned home empty-handed again. And again he was punished.

DIvan set out early in the morning. After walking for a long time, he heard the sound of water. Just as the sun cut through the trees, Ivan saw the most beautiful sight he had ever seen. A lake. The lake was as clear as if it was made of glass. He called it “Crystal Lake”.

EWhen the maidens finished the dance, they took off their shoes and went for a swim in the lake. Ivan crawled to the shoes and took the shoes of the youngest maiden. Then the maidens stepped ashore, put the shoes back on, turned into white swans and flew away. Only the youngest maiden couldn’t find her shoes and fly away.

FTwelve snow-white swans were peacefully swimming in the lake. Ivan was so impressed with the beautiful birds that he couldn’t kill them. He came home empty-handed. The rich man was very angry. He ordered punishment for the hunter.

GTwo days later Ivan was given the final chance to hunt. He came to the Crystal Lake again and hid behind the stone. Some time passed and the swans appeared again. They touched the ground and turned into beautiful maidens. The youngest maiden was the most beautiful. The maidens began singing and dancing in a circle. Ivan was very surprised.

Konstantin Eduardovich Tsioikovsky (1857-1935) was a brilliant Russian scientist and inventor, a pioneer in rocket and space research. He played an important role in the development of the Soviet and Russian space programmes. He was a truly great thinker. He was born on 17 September, 1857. His family was not rich, but it was very large. Konstantin had 17 brothers and sisters. At the age of 10, he lost his hearing as the result of scarlet fever. After that he couldn’t go to school, and he educated himself at home. His books were his teachers, and he read every book in his father’s library. For some years Konstantin lived in Moscow. His visits to the main Moscow libraries helped his education too. At the age of 17, while living in Moscow, he first dreamed about spaceflights. The novels of Jules Verne inspired him. Konstantin not only thought about going into outer space, but also about living in space. After passing his exams, he received his Teacher’s Certificate and began working as a maths teacher. At that time he began his scientific research. From 1892 to 1935 he lived and worked in Kaluga. There in Kaluga he became a well-known scientist and wrote and published his theories of spaceflights and interplanetary travel. His first article on rocketry appeared in 1903. He wrote over 500 scientific papers. He never created any rockets himself, but he influenced many young Russian engineers and designers. Among them was Sergey Korolev, the “Chief Designer” of the Soviet space programme. Konstantin Tsioikovsky, the father of cosmonautics, died in

I. Read the stories (1 - 6) and mark the sentences (1 - 8) TRUE or FALSE.

Travel Agents’ True StoriesWe asked travel agents to write in and tell us about their funniest moments. Here are some of the stories.1) I had a client once who called from the airport, saying, “How do I know which plane to get on?' I asked him what he meant and he said, I was told my plane was flight 554, but none of these planes have numbers on them.”2) A woman phoned me from Detroit. She wanted to know how it was possible that her flight from Detroit left at 8:20 a.m. and arrived in Chicago at 8:33 a.m. I explained that Chicago was an hour ahead of Detroit, but she didn't understand the idea of time zones. Eventually, I just told her the plane was very fast. She was happy with that.3) A man who was travelling to Namibia via London's Heathrow Airport asked if he could rent a car at Heathrow. I noticed that he only had a one-hour stopover in Heathrow Airport, so I asked him why he wanted to rent a car. He said he'd heard that the airport was really big, so he needed a car to drive to his next flight.4) One customer was booking a seat on a plane. She asked for an aisle seat so that her hair wouldn't get messed up by being near the window.5) A businessman called me about travel documents for Colombia. I told him he needed a passport and visa. He said he didn't need a visa. I checked again and I was definitely right. I called back to explain that he needed it, and he said, “The last time I was there I didn't need a Visa. They took American Express.”6) I booked a customer on a long haul flight from Oslo to Mexico. He asked if it was a non-smoking flight, and I told him it was. He asked if it would be OK to smoke on the plane if he opened the window.

THE LEARNING REVOLUTION[9] Learning is not confined to the classroom, as millions of people have recently discovered. It can happen at any time or in any place. It doesn’t matter how old you are either. “Open learning”, “lifelong learning” and “distance learning” have all become part of modern educational vocabulary. But what do these words mean exactly?

[10] Any kind of education meant to make learning available to more people is often referred to as “open learning”. It means that people can decide for themselves what to learn, at what pace, who will teach them and when the results of their learning will be assessed.[11] When the tutor could be in Cambridge, in the UK, and the learner on a farm in Australia on the other side of the world, this is truly distance learning. Distance learning uses the postal system, television and the computer. E-mail and the Internet, which have been around for two decades now, offer exceptional new opportunities. The idea isn’t new, of course. In UK the first Open University (OU) was started in 1969, although long before that at the end of the 19th century there were correspondence courses for people who wanted to learn shorthand and other practical subjects.[12] Distance learning is not always as easy as it might seem at first. It requires a lot of support for the practical aspects of how courses are organised. It is also important to remember that people need a sense of community as much as they need food and clothing, which means they also need a kind of community for effective learning. That’s where new technology can play a key role. Many distance learning programmes include computer-based packages and require e-mail and Internet facilities. A lot of textbooks include a CD which is not just an electronic version of the textbook but provides access to a website so that learners can get more information and advice.

[13] Although printed books and materials and face-to-face contact are definitely bound to survive as major ways of learning, it will not be long before multi-media resources and e-mail communication with tutors will become prevalent. [14] Large companies like Coca-Cola and IBM are already investing in distance learning. The advantage is obvious because the company does not need to find a substitute for a worker who

стр. 4 из 11

is away on a course. Growing numbers of schools and colleges around the world are also offering courses by distance learning. [15] Normally courses like these take a year. Course work for assessment is sent out and returned by e-mail or by post. Quite a number of courses, however, are mixed and include a face-to-face component at the start or at the end. Meeting at the start of a course helps students to make friends with each other and keep in touch during and after the course, although some educators think it is more useful for students to make contact when they have completed the bulk of their work. By the time the students meet they have plenty of ideas to share and questions to ask, so they make better use of the time together. [16] More and more colleges and universities now offer courses with a mixture of traditional and open learning. Only twenty-five years ago distance learning would typically be the last choice for people who couldn’t attend college or university. Now it is slowly but surely becoming the first choice for people who want high quality education on flexible terms.

III. Read the interview with a college student called Sophie and complete the sentences

(17 - 24) with the correct ending (A, B or C).

When you first went to college what was it like? Really strange, I felt as if I was on another planet. At home I live in the country; at college I lived in a hostel, on the third floor. It was so noisy - people shouting and laughing all the time, and outside on the street non-stop noise all night: cars, buses, police sirens.What are the differences between high school and university classes?

The biggest difference is the size of classes: in some classes there were only 10 students, in others there could be as many as 300 of us. I preferred the smaller classes because in the large ones no one talks much except for the professor giving the lecture. Sometimes someone asks a question, but that’s usually just to try and make an impression.

What is your favourite class?

That’s easy to answer. It was a writing class. It was very relaxed and friendly, and we all knew each other’s names, which doesn’t happen so often at college. It was the students

who did most of talking there. We swapped lots of ideas about the books or articles we were reading to find out about different writing styles. Sometimes we read out things we had written. There was some reading about theory, style, of course, but it was all interesting.

What do you think about the teaching in the college?

Most professors are extremely well-educated. They don’t just base their lectures on textbooks. They do real research work and tell us about it. These people are superhuman. Yet at times it seems like none has any real-world people skills. They were taught to study and be brilliant, but not how to teach a group of 20-year-olds. Many are out of touch with students.

What is your major subject?

I’m majoring in sociology, which means I study groups of people, how they behave with each

стр. 5 из 11

other, and what theory and policy says about these groups. My main areas of interest are mass media and women’s issues.

I feel I have lots of choices for a career. You don't have to follow a career in your major subject, so I may choose to do something else, maybe not social work.

What do you plan to do after college?

Right now I don’t plan to do a master’s, so I’m thinking about what job I’d like to do. Maybe I shall work in advertising - it sounds interesting and I think it would be fun, but then I thought of being a journalist last week. It changes every day!

Do you have any advice for people planning to attend college?

You have to do enough research to find out for yourself what subjects you can study, but think for yourself and follow your dreams! People at home can give you useful advice, but it’s your decision, it’s your life. It’s not only the smartest who achieve; it’s those who work the hardest. If you work hard, you can make chances for yourself.

“Yes, I will,” replied the student. He then took a seat and began writing. After two hours the students handed the exam paper in. all except the late student, who continued writing.
