                      6-th form, unit “Sports and Games”

Dear Olena,

I enjoyed your letter in which you told me about sports in Ukraine. I will try to tell you about the games we play in England

First of all I must say that the schoolboys play football in England in winter, not in summer. Football is the most popular game in our country, besides England is the home of football. Every school, college, university and town has its football teams.

We do not play ice-hockey much in England, because winters are not very cold. But we play hockey on grass; it is very popular among girls. There are women and men’s teams, and our school has a team, too.

Other games that are played in England are tennis, basketball and volley­ball. We have gymnastics in our school gym every week, we run and jump, play volleyball, basketball and other games. In summer we have gymnastics in the playground.

Well, I shall finish my letter for today.

With best wishes to you and your family

Your English friend,

Mary Smith.

Task 20. Spring ts Coming

The winter is over. There is no more ice in the ponds, rivers and lakes. There is almost no snow on the ground. The days are longer and warmer, and the nights are shorter.

Everything begins to waken from its winter sleep. Spring is coming. The spring months are March, April and May.

The sky is blue and the sun is shining brightly. The wind often blows very hard in spring, especially in March. Sometimes the wind is cold, but more often it is warm. After the rain you can see streams of water in the streets and in the gardens.

The buds on the trees and bushes are opening. The birds are coming back from the south and begin to build their nests.

Children make green corners in their classrooms. They plant flowers in the pots. Every day the pupils on duty water the plants. The schoolchildren like their little kitchen garden in the classroom and take care of it. They put the flowerpots on the windowsills, because flowers cannot live without sun.

Some of the pupils work in the school gardens, they take care of the trees and bushes, sweep in the schoolyard and clean the grass in the stadium.

bush [buj] — кущ bud — брунька pot — глечик
