So school these days is easy?

Think again.

People and politicians complain that school is getting easier. Damian Whitworth, a 35-year-old journalist, decided to see for himself. He spent a week as a pupil at a British secondary school, Brentwood Country High School. It’s a large state school and has about 1,800 pupils, girls and boys, aged between 11 and 18.

French My first lesson is French. I am in a class of 13 year olds. Outside the classroom some girls start interrogating me. 1) Are you really in our class? ―How old are you?‖ ―how old do you think I am?‖ I reply. ―Well… you’re not 13!‖ First we have a listening test which I find difficult. I get 14 out of 20. Not bad.

Maths As we wait outside the maths classroom a teacher tell me to do up the top button of my shirt. The maths teacher uses interactive whiteboard which has graphics and video, but the pupils don’t look very interested in the lesson. A mobile rings and the owner hurries to switch it off. 2) Phones that ring in class are confiscated until the end of the week.

Lunch In the canteen we can choose between traditional and fast food. Burger and chips is the most popular meal. 3) It’s a magical moment and the most effective class I have seen.

History Mr Fishleigh is the history teacher. He doesn’t have any problems controlling the noise level (other teachers do). 4) He’s friendly with the pupils but not too friendly. He talks to them as if they were adults and gets attention in return.

Religious education The teacher introduces us to meditation. We sit cross-legged on our desks and try to fill our minds with blackness and think positively about people who thought negatively about us. For 15 minutes the children sit, eyes closed, in total silence. 5) One boy says he has chips every day.. The bell goes. End of school for the day. So…has school got easier? It’s difficult to say… All I can say is that being back to school for a week was very tiring. Being a pupil today is very, very hard work.

Задание 10. Прочитайте и ПИСЬМЕННО переведите текст. 

Taking our diet more seriously Many people believe that health is very important and, because of this, many are trying to eat more healthily. For example, people in the UK are eating less salt and more low fat margarine and milk; fruit is now America‘s favourite snack and Japan is currently promoting cocoa because it is healthy alternative to soft drinks like Coca Cola. These changes in eating habits are also having an effect on the food market. Global sales are increasing for soy drinks and drinkable yoghurts more than any other food and sales of bread, pasta, and cereals are growing much more slowly. People are also becoming interested in fresh fruit and vegetables and farmers‘ markets‘ are getting more popular throughout Europe. When they can, people often opt for natural goodness‘, and they are buying more products that are healthy, like fruit, salads, and nuts. They are also buying products that help to protect environment, like organic vegetables. So it‘s clear that things in the food world will never be the same again.

Нужно более серьезно относиться к нашей диете

Многие люди считают, что здоровье очень важно, и поэтому многие пытаются питаться более здоровой пищей. Например, люди в Великобритании едят меньше соли и больше обезжиренного маргарина и молока; фрукты сейчас являются едой  в ​​Америке, а Япония в настоящее время любит какао, потому что это здоровая альтернатива безалкогольным напиткам, таким как кока-кола. Эти изменения в пищевых привычках также влияют на рынок продуктов питания. Мировые продажи соевых напитков и питьевых йогуртов больше, чем любых других продуктов питания, а продажи хлеба, макаронных изделий и крупы растут гораздо медленнее. Люди также проявляют интерес к свежим фруктам и овощам, а фермерские «рынки» становятся все более популярными по всей Европе. Когда есть возможность, люди часто выбирают природные дары и покупают больше полезных для здоровья продуктов, таких как фрукты, салаты и орехи. Они также покупают продукты, которые помогают защитить окружающую среду, например, органические овощи. Итак, ясно, что ситуация в мире продуктов питания никогда не будет прежней.

Задание 11. Прочитайте предложения и напишите T(True— верно) и F(False— неверно) после предложения.

1. Americans eat more fruit than any other food. True.

The secret to a long and happy life… being lazy! Joggers who get up early and run through the park, executives who try to work off stress with a game of squash, and people who do bodybuilding may all be shortening their lives. According to Peter Axt, a German researcher and exmarathon runner, laziness is good for you.

‘No top sportsman,’ says Axt, ‘has lived to a very advanced age.’ Among the examples of athletes who have died young, he mentions Jim Fixx, the author of The Complete Book of Running, and the man who almost single-handedly launched the American fitness revolution. He died at the age of 52. As Axt says, ‘Better not to start’.

With his daughter Michaela, a doctor, he has written a book called The Joy of Laziness. It says that there are three keys to long life: to play less sport, to reduce stress, and to eat less food. He gives the example of an Italian village with an unusually high number of centenarians which seems to owe its communal good health to following the Axt principles. No one runs, siestas stretch through the afternoon from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., and the main activity seems to be sitting in the shade or gossiping.

The Axt‘s ideas are based on research which argues that animals have only a limited amount of energy. Those who use up energy quickly live for a shorter time than those who conserve energy. So an executive who wants to compensate for a stressful day by going to the gym is in fact multiplying his problems.

However, Peter Axt believes that light exercise is beneficial. ‘I jog gently for 20 minutes three or four times a week,’ he said, ‘but I have no time for men over 50 who insist on running several kilometres a day.’

Секрет долгой и счастливой жизни… лениться! Бегуны, которые рано встают и бегают по парку, руководители, которые пытаются избавиться от стресса игрой в сквош, и люди, занимающиеся бодибилдингом, могут сокращать себе жизнь. По словам Петера Акста, немецкого исследователя и бывшего марафонца, лень идет  вам на пользу.

«Ни один выдающийся спортсмен, — говорит Акст, — не дожил до очень преклонного возраста». Среди примеров спортсменов, умерших молодыми, он упоминает Джима Фикса, автора «Самая полная книга о беге» и человека, который почти в одиночку начал американскую революцию в фитнесе. Он умер в возрасте 52 лет. Как говорит Акст, «лучше не начинать».

Вместе со своей дочерью Микаэлой, врачом, он написал книгу «Радость лени». В нем говорится, что есть три ключа к долгой жизни: меньше заниматься спортом, уменьшать стресс и есть меньше еды. Он приводит в пример итальянскую деревню с необычно большим количеством долгожителей, которая, кажется, обязана своим общим хорошим здоровьем соблюдению принципов Axt. Никто не бегает, сиесты растягиваются днем ​​с 13:00. до 16:00, и кажется, что основное занятие — сидеть в тени или сплетничать.

Идеи Axt основаны на исследовании, в котором утверждается, что животные обладают лишь ограниченным количеством энергии. Те, кто расходуют энергию быстро, живут меньше времени, чем те, кто ее экономит. Таким образом, руководитель, который хочет компенсировать напряженный день походом в спортзал, фактически умножает свои проблемы.

Однако Питер Акст считает, что легкие упражнения полезные. «Я бегаю легкими пробежками по 20 минут три или четыре раза в неделю, — сказал он, — но у меня нет времени на мужчин старше 50, которые настаивают на беге по несколько километров в день».
