To the day to day obstacles of life—
Facing new challenges, seizing new opportunities,
Testing our resources against the unknown and in the process,
Discovering our own unique potential.
Some grammar rules about life:
Did is a word of achievement,
Won’t is a word of defeat,
Might is a word of bereavement,
Can’t is a word of defeat,
Ought is a word of duty,
Try is a word of each hour,
Will is a word of beauty,
Can is a word of power.
I can’t is a coward,
I’ll try is a soldier,
I will is a king.
If you listen, you will hear,
If you look, you will see,
If you touch, you will feel,
If you try, you will be.
If you want 1 year of prosperity, grow grain.
If you want 10 years of prosperity, grow trees.
If you want 100 years of prosperity, grow people.
(Old Chinese Proverb)
“If one advances confidently in the direction of their dreams,
And endeavours to lead a life which they have imagined,
They will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.”

I. Read and translate the following text:
Different nationalities have different languages. The total number of languages is more than 2,500. The most wide-spread are English, Chinese, Spanish, French and others. Those languages are living languages. There are also dead languages (Latin, ancient Greek) which are no more means of communication.
With the development of communications the Earth becomes “the global village”. Distances shorten and we are able to communicate with the most distant countries easier than ever. That’s why the problem of common language becomes so urgent. One of the most wide-spread languages now is English. It is spoken all over the world. It is the state language in five countries: Great Britain, Canada, the USA, Australia and New Zealand. English is a very democratic language. It isn’t afraid to adapt new words from other languages and create new ones for new
