READING (10 min.)

Task 1. Read the text and translate the 1st paragraph of the text. (Time for preparation-5 min., time for answering- 2 min.).

Titanic is the biggest film in history--simultaneously the most expensive and the most successful movie ever made, costing $200 million and grossing over $3.7 billion worldwide as of January 1999. Such a successful movie has spawned vocal critics in addition to its legions of fans. The plot has been criticized for being implausible, and the dialogue has been called preposterous. So why is Titanic the biggest box office success of all time? Is it because people are indiscriminate sheep, who will flock to see whatever Hollywood tells them to see?

Much of the criticism of Titanic has focused on the unlikely love story. Unless you've been out to sea or living under an iceberg for the past year, you probably know that Leonardo DiCaprio plays Jack Dawson, a penniless young man who finds his way onto the Titanic. Once aboard, he falls for upper-class society girl Rose DeWitt Bukater (Kate Winslet), who is reluctantly engaged to marry the odious but rich Caledon Hockley (Billy Zane). Jack wins Rose's heart, which drives Cal to seek vengeance. When the Titanic collides with an iceberg and begins to sink, Jack and Rose must struggle to survive while Cal continues to pursue them.

Titanic isn't just the tale of Jack and Rose. It's a story of humanity presuming to tame the forces of nature. The largest ocean liner ever built, the Titanic was a highly-publicized symbol of humanity's modernity and progress. Titanic seemed almost to be inviting its grim fate. Over 1500 of the 2207 passengers died when the ship sank.

Task 2. Write a suitable heading to each paragraph. (Time for preparation- 2 min., time for answering- 1 min.).
