– Oh, I'm tired with the Customs formalities. Let's take a short rest now. Shall we sit
here?
– It's a good idea and the armchairs look cozy. Let's enjoy fresh air.
– Certainly. Well, that's what La Manche looks like.
– You mean the English Channel.
– Why? What's the difference?
– Oh, no difference between ourselves, because you are Polish and I'm German,
but when you speak to a Frenchman, call it La Manche. On the other hand, British
people prefer the English Channel.

Text 14. Ice hockey
Ice hockey is one of the most action-paced of sports, demanding skillful
skating, expert stick-handling, and masterly puck control.
The game developed in the frozen expanses of North America, and a hun-
dred years ago became the national winter sport of Canada.
It also became very popular in the northern states of the United States, and
later spread to Europe, Japan, and even to Australia.
The game probably arose from boys playing on the ice. The kids probably fashioned pucks from frozen «horse apples» and adapted tree branches as hockey sticks,
and played on cleared stretches of frozen lakes and rivers, and backyard rinks.
Soon it was inevitable that teams began to play against each other and
leagues were formed.
The earliest mention of the team ice hockey game is a newspaper description of the game played at the Victoria Skating Rink in Montreal in 1875.
Originally the leagues and national competitions in Canada were amateur. In
1917 the first professional league was formed, the National Hockey League (or
NHL), with four clubs – Montreal Canadians, Montreal Wanderers, Ottawa Senators, and Toronto Arenas.
Later clubs were formed in American cities, and the NHL spread to the United States. In 1972 a rival professional organisation was formed, the World HockeyAssociation (or WHA).
204
In 1893 Lord Stanley, the Governor-General of Canada, presented a silver
trophy, the Stanley Cup to the winners and play-offs for the Stanley Cup began,
which then became the symbol of professional hockey supremacy. Canadian-style
ice hockey spread rapidly in Europe between the two World Wars.
In the northern countries it had to compete against bandy. Hockey is a team
game played on an ice surface, known as a rink. Six players – a goalkeeper, two
defence-men, and three forwards – constitute aside. The game is divided into three
periods, each lasting twenty minutes of actual playing time with-10-minute intervals.
There are five face-off spots where by the puck is dropped by the referee
between the sticks of two players. After a goal is scored, the puck is brought back
to center ice for another face-off.
The playing area (rink) is 188 to 200 feet long, and about 85 feet wide. The
playing area is subdivided into three zones – defensive, neutral and attacking – by
two blue lines (called off-side lines) teams defensive zone is that zone where the
goal cage, which it is defending, is located.
The zone at the opposite end of the rink is known as the teams attacking zone.
The area between is known as the neutral zone and is divided at the centre
by a red line. This line plays an important role in the game's bodychecking regulations.
Players are subject to a variety of penalties leading to their dismissal from
the ice for two minutes or more, thus giving the other team a oneman advantage for
the duration of the penalty or until a goal is scored.
Ex. 3. Read the dialogue. Roleplay it.
Dialogue
Fay: Hi Jerry. I'm thinking of applying for a job with a multinational company, but I'm
worried about having an interview in English. Can you give me any good tips?
Jerry: Hmmm. That's a tough one. I guess the first thing is to try to make a good
impression. We often say, «you never get a second chance to make a first impression». You really need to get off to a good start.
F: That sounds like good advice. Maybe I could sing and dance for them, ha ha ha!
Then they'd really be impressed! But seriously, how do I make a good first impression?
205
J: To begin with, you should firmly shake the interviewer's hand while greeting him
or her with a smile. Be sure to keep eye contact, especially when listening to the
interviewer.
F: Ah, «body language» is really important, isn't it?
J: Yes, it is. The second thing is to have confidence. You get confidence from being
prepared. You should learn a little bit about the company before the interview. Find
out what they do, how long they've been in business, what their business motto is,
that kind of thing. You should also anticipate possible questions, and think about
how you will answer.
F: Should I memorize my answers beforehand?
J: No! Definitely not! That sounds very mechanical. You should be natural when you
speak. Just think about how you want to answer, and choose the right words at the
time of the interview. That way, you can use the interviewer's own words in your
answer, which shows you've been listening. Then you're sure to make a good impression.
F: I never thought about that before. You're really smart, Jerry! But what should I do
if I can't remember an English word when I'm answering a question?
J: In that case, you have to paraphrase. In other words, you have to explain what
you want to say. For example, if you forget the word «manufacturing», you can say
«making a product» instead. Or instead of «statistics» you could say «using many
big numbers to describe something».
F: That's very helpful, Jerry. Thanks so much. Ah, one more thing. Should I ask
about the salary during the interview?
J: No, either let them bring up the topic of money, or else wait for a second interview. If you prepare well, make a good first impression, have confidence, and use
English naturally, you're almost certain to be interviewed again. Good luck!
