Different types of houses
In many towns of England cottages, or homes are built one near another, in one long row. There is a small garden at the back of the house and still a smaller one in front of it.
On the first or ground floor there are usually two rooms, and on the second, or upper floor, also two. In the bigger of the lower rooms the family cooks meals, eats and lives. It’s a kitchen, or a living – room. It usually has three doors, one of which leads out to the street. There is a table and some chairs in the room. On the wall near the fireplace you can see a large calendar with a bright-coloured picture. A lamp hangs over the table.
In the suburbs of big cities we can see a lot of pretty, clean country houses, detached and semi-detached. Fine gardens and well-kept lawns, and flowers are everywhere.
In the miles of heavy industry the air is thick with the smoke of factories, the houses are old and dirty, and look all alike: two stories high, a smoky bay-window in front, a few steps leading into a poor tiny garden, a half-dead tree in it and some sad-looking flowers covered with dust, and grey with smoke.

Family history
"Researching family history is a true passion rather than just a hobby for many people", says Julie Mason. "It is wonderfully exciting when you learn more about the ancestors."
Julie began researching her family's past in order to find out her roots. She says: "When you discover your roots, it gives you understanding who you are." John Paul Thompson, has a different reason for wanting to research his family's history. "After my father died I found myself with photo albums full of old photographs with no labels. 1 wanted to find out more about the others." Some of the things that people discover about their families can be very surprising. When Jean Sandwell researched her family history she had a very big shock. She found out that she had been adopted as a baby. After she had accepted this situation, Jean tried to find her real parents. "I discovered that my mother emigrated to Australia in 1966," says Jean. "In 1982 I went to Australia to meet her. It was a very emotional experience for both of us."
So what is the best way to start researching your family history? "Interview all your family members before it is too late," says Julie Mason. "Make a basic family tree of your close family and step by step make it bigger. Of course, it is not easy to have accurate information from relatives about things that happened in the distant past. It is quite normal for different family members give different versions of the same events. It is very important to check everything."
Public records in local libraries and in national archives are also important to the family historian. Old newspaper reports are often kept on in local libraries. Sometimes, researching your family history can be lonely work. Remember that you can find a lot of help on the internet. Of course, it is not easy to trace your family history a long way back and you must be very patient. Believe me, in the future, your children, and their children may be very grateful to you for recording it.
Jean Sandwell made a shocking discovery. Read aloud the extract which says about it.

Семейная история
Изучение истории семьи для некоторых людей является настоящей страстью, даже больше , чем хобби», говорит Джули Мейсон .» Это действительно здорово, когда ты узнаешь все больше о своих предках.»
Джулия стала изучать прошлое своей семьи, чтобы выяснить корни своей семьи. Она говорит:» Когда ты узнаешь свои корни, ты начинаешь понимать, кто ты.» У Джона Пола Томпсона другая причина изучить свою семью. « После смерти отца я нашел альбом, полный старых фотографий без подписи. Я хотел выяснить больше о других.»
Некоторые вещи, которые люди открывают о своей семье , могут стать сюрпризом. Когда Джин Сэндуэл изучила историю своей семьи, она была шокирована Она выяснила, что она была приемным ребенком. После того, как она оценила эту ситуацию, она стала пытаться найти своих настоящих родителей. «Я выяснила, что моя мать эмигрировала в Австралию в 1966 году», - говорит Джин. «В 1982 я поехала в Австралию, чтобы встретиться с ней. Это было очень волнительно для нас обеих.»
Итак, с чего же лучше начать изучение своей семьи?»Пока не слишком поздно, спрашивайте всех членов семьи,», - говорит Джулия Мейсон. «Создавайте семейное древо своих близких родственников и шаг за шагом увеличивайте его. Конечно, это не легко получить достоверную информацию от своих родственников о том, что было в далеком прошлом. Это довольно нормально от разных членов семьи услышать разные версии об одном и том же событии. Очень важно все проверить.»
Публичные записи в местных библиотеках и национальных архивах также являются очень важными в истории семьи. В местных библиотеках часто хранятся старые газетные статьи. Часто изучение семьи может быть уединенной работой. Помните, что вы можете многое найти в интернете.
Конечно, нелегко проследить историю своей семьи на много лет назад, но вы должны быть терпеливыми. Поверьте мне, что в будущем ваши дети и внуки будут вам очень благодарны за вашу проделанную работу.

Mike: Well, Jane, we’ve only got two weeks left before the run so I really think we have to finalise the route of the race today.
Jane: Yes, Mike. Now, how many runners do you estimate will register for the race?
Mike: Well, it’s hard to say what the final number will be – at the moment we have 150 applicants but I fully expect there will be 200 by the race itself.
Jane: Fine. I’ll make a note of that.
Mike: Where will the starting line be?
Jane: I think you have to start somewhere that has a place to warm up. How about the Town hall as the car park there is a big enough for the runners to do their exercises?
Mike: Actually, that’s a good point. Let’s start there and then we could have the first aid point nearby. But look, we should have another first aid point somewhere on the route in case the runners have problems.
Jane: You’re probably right! Em, do you think the athletes need somewhere to take a break if they are feeling tired? We could use the entrance to the library. It’s ideal as it has such a huge portico where the athletes could relax in the shade.
Mike: Good idea.
