Text “Askania Nova Nature Reserve”

      Askania-Nova nature reserve is one of the most ancient in Ukraine and even in the world and has been a base of wide scientific research for about one hundred years. It is located in the southern steppes of Ukraine in the driest part of the Black Sea lowlands between the Dnieper and the Molochna. In the times gone nomadic tribes moved along its vast territory — Tavrichny steppe. Some of them left behind stone statues called “baby”. At the end of the 18-th century large manors became to appear there. One of them was a manor of a German duke Angalt-Ketensky called “Askania-Nova” in the memory of his estate “Askania” in Germany. Then it was sold to a highly- educated biologist Phalts-Phein who did his best for preserving fauna and flora in the area. He established a unique zoo and dendropark. In 1898 he selected a new plot of virgin lands and proclaimed it to be “defended forever”. This year is considered to be the year of founding the steppe nature reserve Askania-Nova.
      The climate of the reserve is continental with hot dry summer and changeable mild winter.
      The virgin reserve steppe is the centre of Askania-Nova. It stretches for 20 km. from west to east and 9 km. from north to south. It is divided into three separate parts: Southern, Northern and Big Chapelsky.
      Cereals prevail in the zone crop of grass though their number isn’t more than 15 species. The feather grass defines the most colourful and typical aspect of the reserve virgin land. But the most beautiful and the brightest steppe is undoubtedly in spring. It is the time of tulip flowering.
      A part of the reserve territory is covered with parks: Old Park, New Park and the Ornithological park: we can observe various kinds of trees and shrubs in the reserve. The old dendrological park was founded in the landscape style where trees and shrubs alternate with picturesque glades everywhere. There is a pond surrounded by oaks, willows and poplars in the centre of the park. The main types of trees in Askania-Nova parks are ashes, black locusts and conifers (Crimean pine and Virginian juniper). Among shrubs the lilacs predominate.
      Fauna of the steppe is unique. It is influenced by plain relief, plants and climate. But conditions are not favourable for amphibians. Almost the only their representative is a green frog. 21 species of birds have their nests in the virgin steppe. Larks are the most numerous. In the period of migrations many birds stay for rest in the area. The most numerous representative of the predatory animals is a steppe fox. Marten and weasel feel comfortable as well. Not a long time ago the roe deer and the noble deer appeared in the steppe reserve again. The rarest animals are concentrated in the zoo. They are the horse of Pryzhewalsky, the European bison, the fallow deer, the zebra, the ostrich, etc.
Askania-Nova is a place where complex study of nature is carried out and a great number of flora and fauna species are preserved for future generations.

Text “ Safety in Relationships ”

 

During your teen years, you will have relationships with a lot of people. This information will help you to see the signs of an unhealthy or abusive relationship.

 

In healthy relationships, you and your friend feel good about each other and yourselves, there is respect and honesty between both of you. You do activities together, like going to movies or out with other friends, and you talk with each other about how are you feeling about each other. These relationships can last for a long time. Healthy relationships are fun for both people.

 

Be honest and srtick to your decision. Tell your friends you like spending time with them but you also want to spend time with other friend and family.

 

In a risky relationship, you and your friend do not usually feel good about each other and yourselves. You may feel afraid or pressured to do something that you don’t want to do.

 

Your friend is jealous or possessive of you, bosses you around, makes all the decisions, tells you what to do, tries to embarrass you in front of other people or even hurts you physically.

 

There are many reasons why a person could be rude or abusive to their friends.

Tell them why you think the relationship is unhealthy and exactly what the other person has done (hit, pressured you to do something, tried to control you). With help, you can get out of an unhealthy relationship. Remember: you deserve to be in a relationship that is healthy and fun.

 

Vocabulary :

 

• abusive – образливий;
• a relationship – відношення;
• srtick- точний, вимогливий;

      Text “How to Shop” 

(After George Mikes)

              In America, just as in England, you see the same shops with the same boards and windows in every town and village.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Shopping, however, is an art of its own and you have to learn slowly where to buy various things. If you are hungry, you go to the chemist’s. A chemist’s shop is called a drug-store in the United States. In the larger drug-store may be able to get medicines, too, but their main business consists in selling stationery, sweets, toys, belts, fountain-pens and other things. Every drug-store has a food counter with high stools in front of it, and there they serve various juices, coffee, ice-cream, sandwiches, omelette and other egg dishes.
             If you want cigarettes, go to the grocer’s; if you want your shoes cleaned, go to the barber’s; if you want a radio, go to a man’s shop; if you want a suit, go to the chemist’s. On the other hand if you want to send a telegram, avoid the post-office. The post-office has nothing to do with the telephone either, as telephone service is supplied by the American Telephone and Telegraph Co.                                                                                                        Whatever you buy, it may be exchanged later for something in the same shop. This is a great pleasure with the Americans. A great many people do really buy things — they only get material for later exchangers. It is unusual at all to see a lady bringing back a hat with a lot of fruit on it exchanging it either for real fruit or a real hat.

Form 10                                                 Listening   ( the Second Term )

Text “Medicine and Health (At the Doctor)”

                 “Medicines are not meant to live on”, an English proverb says. That is true and I can add that good health is the best medicine. And if your health is good you are always in good mood. You have “A sound mind in a sound body”, as an old Latin saying goes. Taking medicine is an unpleasant thing, of course, and if you want to avoid it, you should go in for sports and keep yourself fit.
                  But, if something is wrong with our health, we must consult a doctor who will examine you. He will ask you to strip to the waist, listen to your heart and chest, feel the pulse, take the temperature and measure your blood pressure. But if the illness is serious and you need an operation, the doctor will advise you to get a specialist in a hospital where they have all the necessary equipment.
                  If your teeth need attention, you go to the dentist. If something is wrong with your eyes, you visit an ophthalmologist. The common illnesses are: cough, cold, flue, sore throat, headache, earache, stomach-ache, rheumatism, heart troubles, abnormal blood-pressure and others. Some diseases are infectious and contagious. Great care must be taken by people, who have these illnesses so, that they don’t pass them on to other people.
                  Some traditional things used to prevent or cure illnesses are medicines, pills, powders, injections, massage, antiseptics, tablets, drops and others.

Form 10                                Reading   ( the Second Term )

 Text “How to Shop” 

(After George Mikes)

              In America, just as in England, you see the same shops with the same boards and windows in every town and village.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Shopping, however, is an art of its own and you have to learn slowly where to buy various things. If you are hungry, you go to the chemist’s. A chemist’s shop is called a drug-store in the United States. In the larger drug-store may be able to get medicines, too, but their main business consists in selling stationery, sweets, toys, belts, fountain-pens and other things. Every drug-store has a food counter with high stools in front of it, and there they serve various juices, coffee, ice-cream, sandwiches, omelette and other egg dishes.
             If you want cigarettes, go to the grocer’s; if you want your shoes cleaned, go to the barber’s; if you want a radio, go to a man’s shop; if you want a suit, go to the chemist’s. On the other hand if you want to send a telegram, avoid the post-office. The post-office has nothing to do with the telephone either, as telephone service is supplied by the American Telephone and Telegraph Co.                                                                                                        Whatever you buy, it may be exchanged later for something in the same shop. This is a great pleasure with the Americans. A great many people do really buy things — they only get material for later exchangers. It is unusual at all to see a lady bringing back a hat with a lot of fruit on it exchanging it either for real fruit or a real hat.
