Time: 20 minute

        Task 1. Read the article about George Orwell. For questions 1-5 choose the answer

 A, B or C.

George Orwell was born in India in 1903. When he was four years old, his mother took him and his sister back to England but his father stayed in India.

In England, the young boy had a private teacher but it was difficult for his parents to find the money to pay for it. He was lucky later -when he was thirteen he won a scholarship to Eton College but he was not a very good student.

He always thought of becoming a writer. When he was eleven, he wrote a poem about World War I. This poem was very good and it appeared in the local newspaper.

George had a difficult but interesting life. For a long time he couldn't find a well-paid job. He lived in Paris and London but he didn't have much money and he had to stay in poor parts of these cities. In London he even lived in the street for some time. These years helped him to write his first book called Down and Out in Paris and London, published in 1933. In 1936 George went to Spain to write for newspapers about the Civil War. Three years later he wanted to join the army to fight in World War II but he was very ill and couldn't become a soldier. He decided to work for the BBC and in 1945 he published Animal Farm. After the war he moved to Scotland where he wrote his final book, Nineteen Eighty-Four.

He died in London in 1950. He was only forty-seven.

Task 2.

Read the article about the London underground and the Moscow metro.

For sentences 6-10,choose True(А) if the sentence agree with the article and False (В) if it doesn’t agree with the article.

The London Underground and the Moscow metro

The London Underground is the oldest one in the world. In 1870 there was the opening of the first line. It was like a tube, that's why English people call the old lines the Tube, the new lines the Underground.

The London Underground is very long. It’s about 300 kilometres long and it has about 300 stations. Some of them are closed on Sundays. The other stations are closed on  Saturdays and  Sundays. The price of tickets isn't low (низкий). It depends (зависит) on the distance. There are comfortable seats in the carriages at the Underground. The walls are white or grey. There are a lot of ads (реклама) on them.

So the word "Underground" in London shows you where the stations are. When you want to find the metro stations in Moscow you look for the letter "M".

The Moscow metro began its work on the 15th of May, 1935. There were 13 stations at that time. Now it has more than 190 stations. A metro ticket costs 28 rubles. Our metro is one of the most beautiful, comfortable and the cleanest metros in the world. We are proud of it.

6. The name of the old London lines is the Tube.

a) True        b) False

7. Some stations in London don’t work at weekends.

a) True        b) False        

8.        The price of the tickets in the Tube is the same.

a) True        b) False        

9.        The Moscow Metro is older than the London Underground.

a) True        b) False        

10.        The Underground carriages are comfortable.

a) True        b) False
