The names of the months in English come from the Romans. The name of the first month, January, comes from Janus (the Roman god of doorways and bridges!). Janus has two faces, because he looks back at the old year and forward to the new year. The second month, February, is the month of Februa, a special festival. The third month, March, (the first month in the Roman calendar) is the month of Mars, the god of war.

The fourth month, April, comes from the Latin word aperire (opening), and the fifth month, May, comes from Maia, the goddess of plants and animals. Juno, the goddess of marriage and birth, gives us the name of the sixth month, June.

The names September, October, November and December come from the Latin numbers for seven, eight, nine and ten, but in fact they are the ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth months of the year. The seventh and eighth months are, of course, July and August. They take their names from the Romans rulers Julius Caesar (the dictator) and Augustus Caesar (the first emperor of Rome).

Foxwood is a great school and we all like it. We think some of the school rules are OK, but some are terrible. Why do boys have to wear ties? Girls don`t have to wear ties! Why must girls wear skirts? Why can`t we all wear jeans at school? And most important of all – why aren`t there any rules for teachers?

1.31. Прочитайте и переведите текст. Design

Design is the planning that lays the basis for the making of every object or system. It can be used both as a noun and as a verb and, in a broader way, it means applied arts and engineering. As a verb, "to design" refers to the process of originating and developing a plan for a product, structure, system, or component with intention. As a noun, "a design" is used for either the final (solution) plan (e.g. proposal, drawing, model, description) or the result of implementing that plan in the form of the final product of a design process. This classification aside, in its broadest sense no other limitations exist and the final product can be anything from clothing to graphical user interfaces to skyscrapers. Even virtual concepts such as corporate identity and cultural traditions such as celebration of certain holidays are sometimes designed. More recently, processes (in general) have also been treated as products of design, giving new meaning to the term process design.

The person designing is called a designer, which is also a term used for people who work professionally in one of the various design areas, usually also specifying which area is being dealt with (such as a fashion designer, concept designer or web designer). Designing often requires a designer to consider the aesthetic, functional, and many other aspects of an object or a process, which usually requires considerable research, thought, modeling, interactive adjustment, and re-design. With such a broad definition, there is no universal language or unifying institution for designers of all disciplines. However, serious study of design demands increased focus on the design process.
