Затем ознакомьтесь с материалом по грамматике и выполните упражнения по грамматической теме. Задание № 1. Read and translate the text My Family and My Life My name is Boris. I am 18. I study at the University and do my best to get as much knowledge as I can. My favourite subject is mathematics. In fact I am very good at it. I am a regular visitor to University’s library where I spend a lot of time. When I'm free I enjoy doing different things with my friends and alone. I am fond of reading interesting books. I am also interested in music, mostly rock-music. I like sport very much. I go in for basketball and always take part in sports competitions. As a rule I go to the gym in the evenings. There is a photo from my family album. This is one of the latest photos. My whole family is in it. There are four of us. My parents are in the centre. To begin with, I am going to talk about my father. He is neither old nor young and works as a businessman at the office. He is a handsome man with dark hair just beginning to go grey. As he is a bread-winner in the family, he often works overtime. He is sociable, sincere and reliable. I can rely on him in any situation. My mother is a few years younger than my father. She looks slim and pretty in the photo, so she is in life. She is an elegant and an intelligent woman. She loves my father and the whole family. She does a lot for us. Shopping and cooking for the family are among her every-day chores. She is a university teacher and is respected both by her students and colleagues. I must admit, she is a very understanding person and often is the first to give a helping hand in a difficult situation. My parents have been married for twenty-three years. They have much in common, but they have different points of view on sports and music. For example, my father is fond of sports and my mother doesn't go in for sport at all. In front of my parents sits my grandmother, my mother’s mother. I do not have other grandparents. She is retired now. To tell you the truth, I do not feel the generation gap between us. She would listen to my endless stories about my friends and my university life. I do not always follow her advice, but I should say, my granny is a wise person and an easy-going one. I look similar to her. Maybe, that’s why I’m sitting near her. Here four of us are happy and smiling. To cut a long story short, we are a united and friendly family. Перевод Моя семья и моя жизнь Меня зовут Борис. Мне 18. Я учусь в университете и стараюсь получить как можно больше знаний. Мой любимый предмет – математика. На самом деле я очень хорошо разбираюсь в этом предмете. Я постоянно посещаю университетскую библиотеку, где провожу много времени. Когда я свободен, мне нравится заниматься разными делами с друзьями и в одиночестве. Я люблю читать интересные книги. Я также интересуюсь музыкой, в основном рок-музыкой. Я очень люблю спорт. Я занимаюсь баскетболом и всегда принимаю участие в спортивных соревнованиях. Как правило, я хожу в спортзал по вечерам. Есть одно фото из моего семейного альбома. Оно из последних фото. На нем вся моя семья. Нас четыре. Мои родители в центре. Для начала я расскажу о своем отце. Он и не преклонных лет и не молодой, он работает бизнесменом в офисе. Он красивый мужчина с темными волосами, которые только начинают седеть. Поскольку он является кормильцем в семье, он часто работает сверхурочно. Он общительный, искренний и надежный. Я могу положиться на него в любой ситуации. Моя мама на несколько лет моложе отца. Она стройная и миловидная на фото, такой она является и в жизни. Она элегантная и интеллигентная женщина. Она любит моего отца и всю семью. Она очень много делает для нас. Покупки и приготовление еды для семьи входят в число ее повседневных обязанностей. Она преподаватель в университете и пользуется уважением как среди студентов, так и среди коллег. Надо признать, она очень понимающий человек и часто первой протягивает руку помощи в трудной ситуации. Мои родители женаты двадцать три года. У них много общего, но разные взгляды на спорт и музыку. Например, мой отец увлекается спортом, а мама вообще не занимается спортом. Напротив моих родителей сидит моя бабушка, мама моей мамы. У меня нет других бабушек и дедушек. Сейчас она на пенсии. Честно говоря, я не чувствую между нами разницу поколений. Она слушает мои бесконечные рассказы о моих друзьях и моей университетской жизни. Я не всегда следую ее советам, но должна сказать, что моя бабушка мудрый человек и легкий на подъем. Я похож на нее. Может быть, поэтому я сижу рядом с ней. Нас четыре, и мы все счастливы и улыбаемся. Одним словом, мы сплоченная и дружная семья.

Family is the dearest and closest people. For me, my family starts with my mother. Mother's caress, tenderness, warmth surround us from the first days of life. They say that a woman can achieve brilliant results in any field. She can bring many benefits to society, but the most important and hardest work of her life is the creation of a family. Mom is the keeper of the hearth. The whole house rests on her fragile shoulders: after work, she needs to cook, feed, clean, help with her homework and still do a lot of things. Sometimes I wonder how my mother manages to do everything! In our house it is always warm and cozy for me, and dad, and guests, and even animals. I have a small but very friendly family. There are five of us in the family: mom, dad, older sister, brother and me. We are very close-knit family. My older sister's name is Katya, she is thirty-four years old. And brother Stas, he is twelve years old. Katya studies and works in Moscow. She teaches chemistry and biology. Stas is only in his third year. Mom is a nurse and dad is a veterinarian. It is always warm, cozy and comfortable in our house, because our family is very friendly and cheerful. Each family should have its own traditions, its own family holidays. As a family, we often remember funny events that happened to us. These memories create a warm and cordial atmosphere in the house. We love to spend home holidays. / 256 с) Read the text again and mark the sentences true (T) or false (F). Correct the false sentences. 1. Boris is a pupil of the eleventh form of a secondary school.
