Seasons

Students of the Department of Sociology often work with a questionnaire. They know how to draft questions, how to frame questions, what for and how to carry out piloting. The beginners in sociology have interviewed many people and determined that some of responders like winter, some of them prefer autumn. But the majority thinks that spring is the best season in a year.

The four seasons of the year are: spring, summer, autumn and winter. Each season lasts three months. Winter begins in December and ends in March. We usually have many cold days in winter and it often snows. The rivers and lakes are frozen, and when the ice gets thick enough the children can go skating.

When spring comes, the days get warmer. The sun shines brightly in the blue sky. The snow melts quickly and turns into water. Grass grows in the meadows. The birds return from the hot countries and make their nests in the green woods.

In summer the days are very hot as a rule. School is over in June and most of the children go to the rest camps. Many people have their holidays in summer. They go to some place in the country or near the sea.

In summer we often have thunderstorms. We hear the thunder and see flashes of lightning. The wind begins to blow hard and the clouds approach quickly. It rains hard for a while. And soon the sun comes out again.

In autumn it gets dark. The weather is often unpleasant. It drizzles and it’s foggy. The leaves on the trees turn red and yellow, it often rains.

I think that every season has its own charm.

-5-

We enjoy spring days full of rays and warmth, when we smell green grass and the first flowers.

Summer makes us relax lying in the sun.

Autumn gives us piles of fruit and vegetables. We cannot help admiring luxuriant gold and red colours of this season.

Winter brings much joy, snowflakes, skating and skiing.

X. Read and translate the text about the climate in Great Britain. Make a summary.

There are many jokes about English climate. One of them is that there is no climate in England, only weather.

- 10 -

One of the most striking things about the British Isles is the rapidity with which the weather changes from day to day or even during the day. The climate is mild and strong frosts are rare. Due to the moderating influences of the sea, the January temperature is higher and the July temperature is lower than in any other country of the same latitude. That is why the British ports are ice-free and the rivers are not frozen throughout the year.

There is an abundance of rainfall in the west. As a result, there are thick fogs which last for days and weeks at a time during autumn and winter. The winter fogs of London are awful. In a fog the air is hardly fit for breathing.

The outstanding features of the climate of Britain are its humidity, mildness and variability.

XI. Sort out the words and phrases given below alphabetically into the corresponding column. The first is done for you.

XII. Read the text about the names of the months in a year and decide if the statements given after it are true of false.

Names of the Months

The English names of the months all come from Latin. January, March, May and June were names of gods taken from Roman mythology. The god Janus, could look in two directions at the same time because he had two faces. He was the god of endings and beginnings. The name February comes from a Roman celebration called Februa, a celebration of cleaning. March is named after Mars, the mythological god of war. March is usually a month of storms and windy weather.

The origin of the word April is not known exactly. Probably the word comes from the Latin word “aperiri” – “to open”. In April the skies open and it rains very often. The trees and flowers also begin to open. The month of May is named after Maia, the mythological goddess of the fields.

The month of June was named after the goddess Juno. July is named after Julius Caesar, the Roman Emperor. Before the time of Caesar another calendar was used. The year began in March instead of in January. Caesar changed that. He made the calendar we use at present. After Julius Caesar came his son Augustus. The eights month August is called after him.

The months of September, October, November and December need little explanation. In the old calendar they were the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth months. The names for the months September, October, November and December therefore came from Latin words for seventh, eight, ninth and tenth.

Statements

1. Five English months were named after Roman gods and goddesses.

2. There are more months named after men than after women.

3. The names of autumn months show there place in the year cycle.

4. All summer months were called after Roman Emperors.

-13-

5. Before Caesar introduced his own calendar all months had different names.

6. The origin of one month’s name is still unclear.

7. One month’s name is connected with an English holiday.

XIII. Translate the following text into English. Pay attention to the words and expressions given below.

Кожен знає, що в році чотири пори року: весна, літо, осінь і зима. Кожна з них триває три місяці. Весна починається в березні і закінчується в травні. Навесні часто йдуть дощі, особливо в квітні.

Літо – найжаркіша пора року. Воно починається в червні і закінчується в серпні.. Влітку небо ясне і безхмарне.. Дні довгі, а ночі короткі і темні. Літо дарує багато фруктів та овочів. Приємно провести цей час біля моря.

Осінні місяці – вересень, жовтень і листопад. Дні стають коротшими, сонце втрачає свою силу. Часто йде дощ. Це час збирання врожаю.

Зима також триває три місяці: грудень, січень і лютий. Стає холоднішим день від дня. Рідко світить сонце, і часто йде сніг. Але все виглядає так красиво, покрите снігом.

Отже, у кожної пори року є свої хороші і погані сторони. Але ми повинні бути вдячними будь-якій погоді.

Vocabulary:

Everyone knows кожен знає

To last тривати

Cloudless безхмарний

I. Read the text. Define the main idea.

Shopping

Shops play an important role in our life. Some people go shopping when they are short of food or goods. For other people shopping is a pleasant hobby.

There are different types of shops: special shops for men and women where they can buy boots, shoes, underwear, dresses, costumes, coats, jackets, blouses and shirts.

Shop assistants are at your service. They help you to choose the right thing that can suit you perfectly. You may go to the fitting-room and try a thing on. After that you go to the cash-desk and pay.

There are shops that can help you to make your flat or house comfortable and cosy. They provide us with modern furniture, TV sets, tape-recorders and other necessary things.

Many people prefer to go shopping at the supermarkets where everything is sold, beginning from sugar up to fur coats, carpets and furniture. There you can roam hours and hours even have a cup of coffee with cakes and sandwiches.

Sugar, tea, coffee, bacon, salt and pepper are sold at the grocer’s. Bread is sold at the baker’s, meat and poultry – at the butcher’s. We go for vegetables and fruit to the greengrocer’s. Cakes and sweets are sold at the confectionery.

It is very interesting to characterize shopping from the point of view of sociology. Sociology is a way of understanding behaviour of people and human social life. Sociologists have carried out an interesting sociological research. They have determined that people like to go shopping best when it gets warm, the trees begin to bud and flowers begin to bloom. Buyers prefer to do shopping in summer because there are a lot of vegetables and fruit, all shop assistants are very polite and ready to please you and prices on foodstuffs are rather low.

-23-

My mother usually goes to the market to buy food.

At the market we can buy everything we need. But the prices are very high. And in the nearest future we can hardly expect the reduction of prices.

Meals in Britain

The names of meals in Great Britain are: breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper. Breakfast in the morning may be cornflakes, taken with milk and sugar, bacon or

- 35 -

ham with or without eggs, or some kind or fish. Toast of bread and butter with marmalade and a cup of tea or coffee is also a popular breakfast.

Some people have toast, butter and cheese with tea or coffee for breakfast. English people usually drink tea with milk and this tea is called “English tea”.

In the middle of the day people have different meals. It depends on their jobs and wages. It also depends on what part of the country they live in. People in the North have different tastes from those in the South. Their main cooked meal, whether it’s at midday or in the evening, is called dinner. Those who have their dinner in the middle of the day have supper in the evening. Those who have dinner in the evening, have lunch in the middle of the day. For dinner there’s always a main dish, consisting usually of meat or fish with potatoes and cooked vegetables.

Lunch or supper is a lighter meal. Many families living in the north eat something like bread and butter with perhaps fried eggs or fried fish and tea in the evening.
