Imagine: You won a lot of money, how will you spend it? For beginning, I must say that I will be very happy. It will be amazing, because I never won in lottery or another game a lot of money. I think, that word "spend" is not convenient for me. In my opinion, money must do (make) money, and then you may spend, but very small quantity. But if I won a lot of money, for example, 100 million dollars, I do next: 1. As you know, I have three children (two daughters and a son), and the first, I will buy a flat for everyone. I think, it is a big problem in our life, if you have not a flat, and you must pay a lot of money every month for rent a flat. 2. I with my wife and with my favorite friend will go to trip around the world. 3. May be, I will buy two big houses (villa) in Spain, one for my family, one for my parents. 4.

Topic for discussion

Are you patriot or not? Do you want to change your nationality? The firstly, I would like to say some words about term «patriot». Patriot – its a man, who likes his motherland and native culture. I think that patriotism was brought up when there was USSR. However, patriotism begins to grow up now in the young generation, although it will be difficult to do in this economic situation. I am, like a man, who grew up in ninetyes of the twentieth century, and saw three crisises in our country, perhaps, don’t consider me a patriot. I think, that patriotism will grow up in the people, when they see a good, positive attitude to the citizens of this country, when they feel proud of own country or may be town. It is impossible to demand from citizens patriotic sentiments, when the government is indifferent or does some actions, that cause people to leave the country. What about me, I don’t consider that I am a patriot, although I love my country and Russian culture. And I don’t understand why our big country is rich in many natural resources so poor and can not become the leading countries of the world. What about nationality, I consider, that it doesn’t matter. It depends on how you feel in this or another country. I am Russian, but it doesn’t mean to live or to work only in Russia.

Complete the sentence using the correct form «be allowed to»

In Britain you are allowed to drive a car when you're seventeen. You have to get a special two-year driving license before you can start. When you're learning, someone with a full license always has to be in the car with you because you are not allowed to take the car on the road alone. You have to go to a driving school or a friend can teach you. The person with you is not allowed to take money for the lesson unless he's got a teacher's license.

Before you must have a full license, you have to take a driving test. You can take a test in your own car, but it has to be fit for the road. In the test you have to drive round for about half an hour and then answer a few questions. If you don't pass the test, you will be allowed to take it again a few weeks later if you want to. In 1970 a woman passed her fortieth test after 212 driving lessons!

Britain's oldest driver was a Norfolk man who drove in 1974 at the age of 100.

Before 1904 everyone was allowed to drive, even children. Then from 1904 motorists ... have a license. But they had to take a test until 1935. In the early days of motoring, before 1878, cars were not allowed to go faster than four miles an hour.
