Ex. 15 Read and translate the text “The First Voyage round the World”.
THE FIRST VOYAGE ROUND THE WORLD
1. Preparation for the voyage
Magellan lived from 1480 till 1521. The first voyage round the world was
made by him over 400 years ago. He thought that by going west he could travel by
sea round the world and come to the same place again.
In those early days many people in Europe were interested in India. They
knew it was a very rich country whose culture was older than theirs. Magellan
wanted to find a new way to India. His country, Portugal, did not help him, but he
got money, ships, and all things necessary for the voyage
from Spain.
At last the great day came and the voyage began.
That was in September of 1519. Some people thought that
nothing would come of it, that Magellan and his men
would get lost and never come home again; others were
sure that the whole thing would be a success. Who would
be right, it was difficult to say at the moment. Magellan
belonged to those who stop at nothing and always do their
best to get what they want.
2. An unknown land
One day, after a voyage of many months, Magellan’s crew saw land. It
turned out to be South America. As the travelers were badly in need of food and
water, Magellan decided to stop there. With some of his sailors he went to see what
the country was like. They were soon met by a
crowd of men and women, who looked quite different from them.
These people were dark and had neither
shoes, nor clothes. They soon made friends. They
could not speak, of course, but understood one another well enough. Then these people went off, but
soon returned, bringing with them many different
things to eat. In his turn Magellan and his men gave them things which were not
dear but looked beautiful. Everyone was well pleased.
Magellan did not stay long in South America: he was in a hurry to get to India. This voyage was long and difficult. Islands were few and far between, and the
32 Section 2:Marine Voyages
travelers were often in need of food and water. Many of them fell ill, but at last,
after many months of travelling, they reached the Philippine Islands. People used
to get to India going east, while Magellan wanted to get there by travelling west.
In the Philippine Islands Magellan and his men were well met by the people.
They stayed there for some time and took part in a war between two different peoples of the islands. Magellan was killed in this war.
Of Magellan’s five ships which started for India in 1519 only one returned
three years later, after making the first voyage round the world.

Ocean between North America, Europe and Africa 12 000 years ago. And one day
Atlantis disappeared in the waters of the ocean because of a violent earthquake.

Ex. 25 Read the text “The Sea” and render its content in short in Russian.
THE SEA
What do we know about the sea? We all have distinguished it. Most of us
have swum or played in it. We know that it looks very pretty when the sun is shining on it. We also know that it can be less pretty when it is rough. What other
things do we know about it?
Unit 2.Magellan’s Voyages round the World 35
The first thing to remember is that the sea is very big. Look at the map of the
world. There is less land than sea. The sea covers ¾ of the world. The sea is also
very deep in some places. There is one spot near Japan, where the sea is nearly 11
kilometers deep! The highest mountain in the world is about nine kilometers high.
The sea water is very salty. You can taste the salty than other ones. In most parts of
the sea there are plenty of fishes and plants. Some live near the top of the sea. Others live deep down. The sea is full of wonders.
