Напутствие автора
Мой учебник подойдет как для самостоятельного изучения (из-за простой подачи
материала, разъяснений тонкостей экзамена и ключей), так и для работы учителя в
рамках подготовки школьника к экзамену (я включила в пособие перевод,
упражнения на выведение грамматики в речь и задания в формате экзамена). Ключи
находятся в отдельном файле, который становится доступен для скачивания вместе с
этой книгой.
Успехов в подготовке!

Количественные местоимения
Обратите внимание, что местоимение many не всегда изменяется на much, оно также
имеет формы сравнительной и превосходной степени. Подробнее об этом можно
прочитать в главе про степени сравнения прилагательных.
Подробнее про то, как отличить исчисляемое существительное от неисчисляемого, можно
прочитать в соответствующей главе.
Местоимения a little и a few отличаются от little и few тем, что они обозначают большее
количество предмета. Например, I have a little money, I can buy something to eat значит, что
у меня все-таки есть некоторое количество денег. А предложение I have little money, I can't
even buy a ticket значит, что денег у меня недостаточно. Экзаменационных заданий на
трансформацию few в little, а также на разницу между a few/few или a little/little не
встречала, и вы вряд ли встретите.

Как видим, это время образуется с помощью глаголов have или has и третьей формы
глагола. Так как третья форма правильных глаголов образуется путем прибавления
окончания –ed, рассмотрим правила его прибавления:
Обычно к глаголу прибавляется просто окончание –ed: walked, talked.
Если у глагола было свое окончание –e, оно пропадает: live – lived, move – moved.
После согласной –y меняется на –i: fry – fried, study – studied. А после гласной –y не
меняется, например: stay – stayed.
Если глагол заканчивается на одну согласную, а перед ней стоит краткая гласная,
то после согласная удваивается: ban – banned, travel – travelled, stop-stopped (как и в случае
с добавлением –ing).

Уверена, что когда вы читали про Present Perfect Continuous, то думали: а чем же оно отличается от
Present Perfect? На самом деле, одно и то же предложение можно сказать и в том, и в другом
времени, и оба будут правильны грамматически. Только акцент будет немного на разных вещах.
Вот например:
I have worked on this project since 9am. Мы просто приводим информацию, что уже с 9 утра
работаем над этим проектом.
I have been working on this project since 9am! А здесь мы хотим подчеркнуть, что уже с 9
утра работаем над этим проектом и мы устали/проект надоел/это очень долго. То есть,
концентрируемся на том, что эта работа заняла у нас именно очень много времени или
сил.

Теперь посмотрим, как отличаются эти два времени, которые оба используются для
описания прошедшего времени. Разница в том, что Present Perfect не указывает точного
времени, когда это произошло, и оно нам не важно. Либо это действие еще не
закончилось. А действие Past Simple всегда остается в прошлом и есть указание на то, что
оно было именно в прошедшем времени. Вот сравните:
I have gone to the dentist this morning. (Утро еще не прошло)
I went to the dentist that morning. (Утро уже закончилось)
I have gone shopping. (Важен результат – продукты в холодильнике, а время не важно)
I went shopping in the morning. (Важно время, когда я ходил в магазин – сегодня утром)

Past Continuous
+ - ?
Как и в Present Continuous, в Past Continuous нужно добавлять –ing к глаголу, так что не
забываем про правила орфографии:
Обычно к глаголам добавляется просто окончание –ing: studying, playing, reading
Если глагол оканчивается на –e, она отбрасывается: dance-dancing, take-taking
Если глагол заканчивается на одну согласную, а перед ней стоит краткая гласная,
то после согласная удваивается: ban – banning, swim-swimming, stop-stopping
Если глагол заканчивается на –ie, то эти две гласные меняются на –y: die – dying, lie
– lying.

tree trunks …

eight finishers – and the first and only woman.
Это время очень похоже на Past Perfect Continuous, только в прошедшем времени.
had + been + V(ing)
+ - ?
Как понятно из названия времени, Past Perfect Continuous показывает процесс, который
произошел в прошлом до какого-то другого действия, выраженного, как правило, Past
Simple. Чтобы было понятно, о чем я, приведу пример. I had been waiting for an hour before
you finally came!
Exam tip. Время это редкое, и в экзаменационных заданиях я его никогда не видела. Но
так как оно есть в кодификаторе к ЕГЭ, я его включила в этот справочник.

ниже, пригодится вам скорее где-то еще, но не в разделе «Грамматика и лексика».

Sequence of tenses
В английском языке много времен. Гораздо больше, чем в русском. И для того, чтобы их
как-то упорядочить и внести в систему логику, англичане придумали так называемое
«Правило согласования времен». И его очень любят составители ОГЭ и ЕГЭ.
Оно заключается в том, что если в предложении встречаются времена группы Present, то
там вряд ли окажется Past. И если мы захотим в этом предложении использовать будущее,
то мы сможем использовать только will.
Например, в предложении He doesn’t know where he has put his glasses мы не можем
использовать Past Simple во второй части, относящейся к прошлому, по этому самому
правилу.
Конечно, это правило нарушается. Например, при использовании прямой речи. “I will go
to the cinema”, he said. Но для ОГЭ и ЕГЭ оно нам пригодится. И пригодится в изучении
таких разделов грамматики, как косвенная речь и сослагательное наклонение, о которых
мы поговорим прямо сейчас.

1) Transformation
a) It __________ (be) clear how the accident ______________(happen).
b) I ___________ (not know) your sister. I ____________ (not meet) her before yesterday.
c) He ____________ (understand) that if he ___________ (tell) his wife about it, she never
_______________ (forgive) him.
d) My secretary ______________ (talk) so quietly so that nobody _____________
(understand) that she ________________ (not work).
e) The policemen ______________ (not know) how the criminal _______________(escape)
from the prison.
f) By looking at him it ___________ (be) impossible to tell that he ____________ (be) a
serial murder in the past.
g) Mike _____________ (not go) to the party because he ____________(be) afraid that
Megan, his ex, ___________ (be) there.
h) I don’t know who ______________ (do) it! But it definitely isn’t me!
i) Yesterday I ___________(be) ashamed when I met my classmate in the street. I
______________(tell) him wrong homework the previous week and he got a bad mark in
his test!
j) Sam ______________(not tell) anybody the truth as he _________(be) afraid nobody
_____________ (believe) him.
Косвенная речь
Самый часто встречающийся случай правила согласования времен - косвенная речь. Это
пересказ того, что кто-то сказал, своими словами. Например, Света сказала, что хочет
мороженое. И по нашему правилу согласования времен, все времена в косвенной речи
будут меняться. Внизу представлена таблица времен, которые мы встретим в ЕГЭ.
Обратите внимание, я добавила строчку с Future-in-the-Past.
Стрелочками показано, как времена сдвигаются в косвенной речи. То есть, если у нас
было предложение в прямой речи:
“I want some ice-cream”, Sveta said.
В косвенной речи оно будет звучать вот так:
Sveta said that she wanted some ice-cream.
1) Transformation. Transform direct speech into indirect. Pay attention that pronouns will
change with this transformation. For example: “I am going shopping” he said – He said he was
going shopping.
a) “I will go to the dentist’s tomorrow”, Sheena said.
b) “She has lived here all her life”, said John.
c) “We are going to the party tonight”, Mike and Anna said.
d) “Sheila can read the book”, her Mom said.
e) “I have a problem”, my little brother said.
f) “I have a strange feeling I saw him before”, Simon said.
g) “I am meeting Sean after school”, my sister said.
h) “You may not like what I am going to say”, Jim told me.
i) “If you don’t like my food, you may not eat it”, Dad said.
j) “I must finish this task today”, Keira told Hannah.
k) “Kyla isn’t speaking to me because we have had an argument!” my brother complained to
my Mom.
Обратите внимание, что if здесь переводится не как «если», а как «ли». Джемма спросила
меня, люблю ли я печенья.
Еще одна частая ошибка – учащиеся во второй части предложения оставляют обратный
порядок слов вместо прямого.
Если же вопрос начинается с вопросительного слова, например Why do you like cookies?
Jemma asked. В косвенной речи он будет звучать вот так: Jemma asked me why I liked
cookies. И снова не забудьте, что при преобразовании вопроса во второй части
предложения идет прямой порядок слов.
Не пугайтесь, в ЕГЭ вам не надо будет преобразовывать вопрос в косвенную речь, все
приведенное выше (как и упражнение на практику ниже) – просто для вашего
ознакомления.
4) Exam task
In the past, when explorers arrived in a strange place, they put up their tents or
cooked a meal. But nowadays, when explorers arrive in a new place, they log
on to their social networking site using a satellite phone. I wrote that I just
(1)________________. And I (2)____________ to relax for a few hours. LAND NEED
Explorers in the past wrote about their adventures in books which were
published months or years later. Nowadays, I post a message in seconds.
Sites like Facebook and Twitter also help if we have a problem. Someone in
our group touched a strange plant and suddenly his skin was red and painful. I
said on Twitter that my hand (3)____________ a strange plant. It TOUCH
(4)___________ red and hot. I asked if people (5)____________ any advice for BE
me. Minutes later, someone who knew the region replied that it (6)__________ HAVE
be a Pushki plant. And added that if it (7)____________ a Ouski plant, it CAN
(8)_________________but it (9)_____________ you!’ In the age of the BE
modern explorer, communication like this really helps to make decisions and HURT
sometimes it even saves lives. NOT KILL
Conditionals
Предложения условия.
В английском языке есть несколько видов предложения условия, и для ЕГЭ нам нужно
будет познакомиться с тремя из них.
Conditional 0
Или нулевое предложение условия. Оно всегда обозначает общеизвестный факт.
Например, If you don’t water flowers, they die. Если не поливаете цветы, они вянут.
В английском языке в двух частях предложения стоит Present Simple, как и в русском
переводе.
Обратите внимание, что вместо Present Simple в предложении без условия (то есть, без if)
может стоять повелительное наклонение или модальный глагол. Например, If you don’t
water flowers, they can die. Или When you make the dog angry, better keep away from it!
Кроме if в предложениях условия еще могут встретиться – if, when (когда), as soon as (как
только), before (перед тем, как), after (после того, как), unless (пока не). Будьте
внимательны, когда увидите их в тексте! Многие ученики не замечают их их и пишут
будущее время после этих союзов.
h) When Tom ___________ too much coffee, he can’t _______ at night. (drink, sleep)
i) Our teacher _______ angry if we _________ our homework. (get, not do)
j) If there ____ a fire, __________ the lift! (be, not use)
Conditional 1
Первое предложение условия обозначает возможное действие, которое произойдет при
каком-то условии в будущем. Например, if the weather is good, we will have a picnic. Обратите
внимание – после if стоит Present Simple, в отличие от русского перевода «Если погода
будет хорошая, мы пойдем на пикник», где будущее время стоит в обеих частях
предложения. Это – самая распространенная ошибка на экзамене в предложениях условия.
3) Transformation
Example: If you speak more slowly, it will be much easier to understand you. (speak, be)
a) If you ____________ me before 3pm, I ____________ the phone because I will be at
school. (call, not answer)
b) If you ___________, I ____________. (cook, wash up)
c) If our neigbours _________ noise again, I ____________ the police. (make, call)
d) When Max ____________ the exams, he __________ to university. (pass, go)
e) I ____________ you all the gossips if you ______________ me later. (tell, call)
f) Unless the taxi _______________ on time, Maya ____________ her plane. (come, miss)
4) Speaking. Make chain sentences with the 1st Conditional as in the example:
a) If I pass my exams well. I will go to university.
b) If I go to university, I will choose the profession of an engineer.
c) If I choose the profession of an engineer, ...
You can start with: If I don't go to school tomorrow, ...
Conditional 2
Второе предложение условия обозначает нереальное действие, которое ну никак не может
произойти в настоящем или будущем. Например, If I Mike was rich, he would buy an island.
Если бы Майк был богат, он бы купил себе остров. Обратите внимание – в переводе таких
предложений на русский мы вставляем частицу «бы», чтобы показать нереальность
ситуации.
Раньше вместо was после if всегда ставили were: If Mike were rich, he would buy an island.
Чтобы показать, что мы имеем дело не с обычным временем, а с сослагательным
наклонением.
Остатки этой фразы можно увидеть и в английском варианте «на твоем месте …» - If I
were in your shoes ...
В ЕГЭ допускаются оба варианта – и was, и were.
Снова обращаю ваше внимание, что после if не может быть никакого будущего времени.
5) Transformation
Example: If Carry had enough money, she would buy those shoes. (have, buy)
a) If you _________ in the country, you ___________________ every day. (live, cycle)

For thousands of years, humans have explored the Earth. Nowadays, we are
exploring space. Currently, many astronomers are looking for new planets and
new places for humans to live in the future.
First of all, astronomers look for a star. That’s because our own Earth orbits a
star (the Sun). More importantly, it is good if the planet
(1)__________________ the correct distance from the Sun for heat and light. HAVE
So if an astronomer (2)______________ the star, he looks at the planets around FIND
it. In recent years, astronomers have found nearly 400 new planets with stars.
Unfortunately, many of these planets are either too near to the star or too far
away. BE
However, if the planet (3)____________ in a good position, astronomers look
for three key things: water, air and rock. Water is important because all life
needs water. If there is no water, people won’t be able to live there.
After many years of looking, astronomers have found a planet that is similar to
Earth. It’s Gliese 581g and it’s near a star. The astronomers think it has water HAVE
and rock on it. If people ever (4)____________ a big catastrophe, they could
come and live on it.
I wish
Предложения после I wish также относятся к категории сослагательного наклонения и
выражают желания, чтобы что-то произошло или не происходило в настоящий момент. В
ОГЭ и ЕГЭ используется только один тип структуры после I wish – Past Simple, например,
I wish I could sing well – Я хотела бы хорошо петь. Существуют и другие времена, которые
можно поставить после I wish и поменять смысл предложения, но так как они не
включены в кодификатор, их мы рассматривать не будем.
1) Transformation.
Example: Sarah wishes she were more attentive. (be)
2) I wish I ____________ a celebrity. (be)
3) I wish we ______________ still on holiday. (be)
4) I wish I _______________ angry so easily! (not get)
5) Masha wishes she _____________ say sorry to Miguel. (can)

e) Мои родители хотели бы, чтобы у нас были деньги на новую кухню.
f) Жаль, что Коля сейчас не дома.
g) Я хотела бы, чтобы ты была повнимательнее.
h) Жаль, что я узнал об этом так поздно.
i) Я бы хотела, чтобы меня не критиковали так сильно.

Meet the Watts. They are a three-car family in the near future which uses
electric vehicles.

engines. If everybody nowadays (4)__________ electric cars, the roads would USE
be quieter and there would be less pollution!
I wish I (5)___________ an electric car too! HAVE
Модальные глаголы
Единственное, где вам может понадобиться знание неправильных глаголов на ЕГЭ – когда
вы будете их ставить в прошедшее время в рамках согласования времен, косвенной речи
или предложений условия.
Так что вся информация ниже – скорее для развития кругозора в английской грамматике.
Еще советую не забывать, что после модального глагола никогда не ставится частица to.
Нельзя сказать I can to swim.
И модальному глаголу не нужен вспомогательный. Он сам образует и вопрос, и
отрицание. Например, can you swim? I can’t swim.
Исключением из этого списка является have to, который не является в полной степени
модальными, и в предложении ведет себя, как обычный глагол. Например, You don’t have
to do all this. Do I have to do this?
Can/could/be able to
Если мы посмотрим на модальный can с точки зрения согласования времен, то по
временам он может изменяться следующим образом:
Present Simple – can
Past Simple – could
Future Simple – will be able to
Все эти глаголы обозначают возможность, что что-то произойдет в настоящем,
прошедшем и будущем соответственно. Также can и could могут использоваться для
вежливой просьбы.
1) Multiple choice.
a) If you want, I can/could/will be able to call you today after 9pm.
b) Sorry, I can’t/couldn’t/won’t be able to meet you at the airport tomorrow – I’ll be at
work.
c) I can/could/will be able to cycle when I was 7.
d) Can/Could/Will be able to you explain this rule to me once again, please?
e) Can/Could/Will be able to you sing well? – No, I’m afraid I can’t/couldn’t/won’t be able
to.
f) I hope I can/could/will be able to go to the gym tomorrow.
g) Can/Could/Will be able to you open the window, please? It’s so hot!
h) Soon you can/could/will be able to speak English pretty well.
2) Speaking
Say what you could and couldn’t do when you were 5, what you can or can’t do now and what
you will or will not be able to do when you are 30. These phrases will help you:
write, read, draw, play computer games, ride a bike, win a competition, play the guitar, play
chess, take photos, play cards, speak English well, play football, cook.
Example: I couldn’t cook when I was 5.
Еще хочу рассмотреть отдельно отрицательные формы этих глаголов, потому что по
смыслу они немного отличаются от своей утвердительной формы.
Mustn’t мы используем для запретов. You mustn’t smoke here.
Don’t have to мы используем, когда хотим подчеркнуть отсутствие необходимости что-то
делать. You don’t have to wash up. I can do it later.
Should мы используем, когда что-то советуем или говорим, что необходимо сделать. You
should wear read, you look beautiful in it!
4) Speaking. Imagine you are a headmaster of a school. Write a list of rules for your school using
must, mustn't, have to, don't have to. Think about these things:
mobiles and gadgets
homework
arrival at school
school duties
dress code
security
behaviour
cafeteria and food
For example, You mustn't smoke at at school.
5) Translation
a) Сильвии приходится носить униформу, потому что она медсестра.
b) Генри приходится носить очки для чтения.
c) Кэролин должна больше заниматься, чтобы сдать этот тест.

h) Здесь нельзя курить. За это штрафуют.
i) Тебе необязательно приходить в школу, если ты себя плохо чувствуешь. Можешь
остаться дома.
j) Вам нельзя сюда входить, это вход только для персонала!
May/ might
May и might существуют в настоящем времени. В прошедшем may меняется на might.
May и might используются для обозначения будущего в этой же форме, поэтом особой
формы будущего времени для этих глаголов не существует.
Present Simple – may/might
Past Simple – might
May используется для предположений или просьб – He may still come later. May I go out?
Might также используется для предположений, но тут менее вероятно, что действие
произойдет. Также might может обозначать упрек или совет. You might be more polite! He
might not come, it’s too late.
Need показывает необходимость что-то сделать.
Speaking. Say what you might/may or may not/might not do in 5 years. These phrases will help
you: go to university, fall in love, learn to drive, speak English fluently, get married, have
children, write a book, be on TV, live abroad, become a millionare
Example: In five years I might fall in love.
8) Multiple choice for can, could, be able to, must, have to, should, may, might, need and their
negative forms.

говорить на разных языках.
d) Извините, мне нужно позвонить. Это не займет много времени.
e) Я не хочу, чтобы кто-то знал о моем секрете. Тебе нельзя о нем рассказывать.
f) Вам следует пить много воды, около 5 стаканов в день.
10)Exam task
Lots of people do sport in their free time, but these people do extreme sports!
Cliff diving
Cliff diving is a very exciting extreme sport and Cyrille Oumedjkane is an expert
cliff diver. In this photo, he is in Kragero, Norway at the cliff diving world series.
He can jump between twenty and thirty metres into the water feet first. (Normal
divers (1)________________ do it only if someone helps them.) He CAN
(2)_______________ jump from any high place already when he was a teenager. CAN
‘I cliff dive because I like the adrenaline,’ he says.
Highlining
You can ‘highline’ in lots of different places, but to do it well, you must go to the
mountains. You (3)_______________ put a line between two high places and HAVE TO
walk across if you want to highline. In this photo, American Andy Lewis walks
Paragliding
In this photo Justin Ferrar flies above Fronalpstock in the mountains of
Switzerland. The weather is perfect for paragliding and today it’s very peaceful.
But paragliding isn’t normally relaxing! Last week he HAVE TO
(5)__________________fly over 3,000 metres high and very long distances MAY
(over 300 kilometres). He (6)__________________ have a crash, but he did it!
Инфинитив/Герундий
Когда два глагола стоят рядом в английском языке, перед вторым глаголом может стоять
to (want to eat) или ко второму глаголу нужно будет добавить –ing (like reading). В
некоторых случаях два глагола просто стоят рядом, без изменения. Это происходит, если
первый глагол – модальный (can swim) или make/let/let’s (например, let’s go).
Exam tip. Часто ученики на экзамене ставят вместо неличной формы глагола
полноценный глагол во времени. Чтобы избежать таких ошибок, я советую всегда искать
в предложении подлежащее и сказуемое. Если сказуемое уже есть в составе предложения,
а вам для преобразования дан глагол, – повод задуматься, что в пропуске нужна неличная
форма глагола – инфинитив, герундий или причастие. Также дословный перевод
предложения на русский может оказаться очень полезен.
Чтобы глаголы, после которых идет окончание –ing или to + infinitive, было удобней
запомнить, я их классифицировала и свела вот в такие таблицы:
Verb + -ing
likes and dislikes can’t help, can’t stand, dislike, I love playing volleyball.
enjoy, fancy, feel like, hate, like,
love, (not) mind, prefer
ideas and opinions admit, be worth, consider, imagine, I suggest going out tonight.
recommend, suggest
verbs that mark begin, continue, finish, keep, start, Let’s start reading!
beginning/continuation/ stop
end of an action
phrasal verbs break up, bring up, eat out, find I gave up eating fast food.
out, give up, grow up, look after,

Verb + to
likes and dislikes want, wish, would + hate, like, love, I want to go home now.
prefer
ideas and opinions agree, appear, choose, decide Do you agree to help me?
mental activity arrange, ask, expect, forget, help, I expect you to do my task.
hope, learn, manage, offer, prepare,
plan, pretend, promise, refuse
other verbs afford, fail, help, seem I can’t afford to buy this car
yet.
Есть глаголы, после которых можно вставлять инфинитив или герундий, без особых
изменений значения: begin, continue, hate, like, love, prefer, start.
После глагола help глагол может стоять в инфинитиве с частицей to или без неё.

and women live a long time there, the air is not (4)______________________ WORK
and there are more doctors (5)________________ per person than anywhere
else in the world.
However, there was another survey of the happiest countries in the world and INCLUDE
Iceland was not near the top. The (6)________________questions on this
survey were: How much do you earn? How healthy are you? How safe do you VISIT
feel? After (7)______________ 155 different countries, the researchers decided
that Denmark feels happier than other countries.
So does happiness equal money and good health? Not according to the artist
Erik Krikortz. In his home city of Stockholm, Krikortz shows the results of his COLOUR
survey as different (8)______________ lights on the side of a large building in
the city. For example, red means the people of Stockholm are very happy,
green is OK and purple means many people are sad. ‘A lot of people look at the
building every day and see how “we” are,’ Krikortz says.

Once upon a time there lived in Germany two brothers who loved a good story.
At school they (1)____________ a wise man who led them to a treasure – a MEET
library of old books with tales more enchanting than any they
(2)_____ever_________. The brothers began collecting their own stories HEAR
listening to the folktales people told them. Soon they produced their own
treasure – a book of fairy tales that would charm millions in faraway lands for
generations to come.
The brothers Grimm, Jacob and Wilhelm, named their story collection
Children’s and Household Tales and published it in Germany in 1812. The
collection (3)________________ into more than 160 languages. TRANSLATE
Although the brothers implied that they were just keeping records of tales,
Wilhelm continued to polish and reshape the stories up to the final edition of
1857. In an effort to make them more acceptable to children and their parents,
he stressed the moral of each tale.
Yet despite all Wilhelm’s additions, the core of (4)____________ stories was THIS
left untouched. The cruel treatment of (5)______________ (Hansel and Gretel CHILD
are put in a cage by a witch and then fattened ready for eating), the violent
punishments handed out to the stories’ villains (in the original Snow White the
evil stepmother (6)______________ to dance in red-hot iron shoes until she MAKE
falls down dead), are too much for some parents.
So what accounts for their popularity? Some (7)______________ it is because SUGGEST
the characters are always striving for happiness. But the truth probably lies in THEY

tradition without boundaries of age or culture. The brothers’ skill was to
translate these into the (10)_________________ style of writing that seems to UNIVERSAL
mirror whatever moods or interests we bring to our reading of them. And so it
was that the Grimms’ fairy tales lived happily ever after.

The regular world presented to us by our five senses – you could call it reality

why not try the (2)_____________ version: augmented reality (AR) or reality IMPROVE

Early forms of AR are already here. With the right downloads, a smart phone

This is where the next revolution in computing (4)_____________ place: not TAKE

Let’s jump ahead to ten years from now. A person (5)___________ to fix their TRY

The window onto the AR world (7)_________ be a smart phone or special CAN
video glasses that look like wraparound (8)___________. But in ten years’ SUNGLASS

The question is: while we (10) _____________ in our new augmented reality ABSORB
worlds, how will we be interacting with each other?

You probably don’t like the term ‘staycation’. Me neither. But you mustn’t be
put off. As a concept, it is quite attractive. Perhaps you already (1)____________
one, but weren’t aware that’s what it was called. Staycations don’t just mean HAVE

They involve getting out more by taking day trips from your home to see local

example, camping at a local campsite.
Staycations originally (4)______________ popular after the financial crisis of BECOME
2008, when people were looking for ways to cut back on their spending. Apart
from the savings, let’s not ignore the other benefits: you don’t have any of the
problems associated with travel, such as packing, long drives, delays at airports
and so on; and you bring money to the local economy, by eating out, for example.
The only people who hope this kind of holiday won’t catch on are the holiday
companies (5)_________________. THEY
Some staycationers who base themselves at home like to follow a set of rules,
such as setting a start and end date, planning their (6)________________ ahead ACTIVITY
of time and avoiding routine. You don’t have to do these things, but it helps to
create the feel of a traditional vacation. Others take it a step further. A recent
example was Karen Ash, whose story appeared in the Wall Street Journal.
A resident of New York, Karen Ash decided not to go to Japan, as she originally

own city. This included buying postcards and souvenirs at a Japanese market,
admiring bonsai plants, eating the (8)___________ ramen (and even speaking GOOD

also involved joining in at a traditional Japanese tea ceremony, attending a taiko SHE

PRISON HOTELS
(1)____________ in 1905, Karosta naval jail in Latvia was originally home to BUILD
mutinous Russian sailors. In the 1970s it housed political prisoners. According
to their website this is ‘an opportunity to stay overnight on real prisoners’
(2)____________ and mattresses’. In direct contrast to (3)__________ hotel BENCH
publicity, the website goes on to describe Karosta proudly as ‘unfriendly, MANY
unheated and uncomfortable’. They are not lying. This is more a reality jail
experience than a hotel. ‘Reception’ is a dark corridor where a former prison
guard explains the rules to you and then fires (4)_____________ gun in the air HE
to show you he is serious. After a meal of bread and sweet Russian tea,
‘guests’ (5)________________ five minutes to wash before making up their GIVE

Mind you, for $12 per night, what do you expect?
CAVE HOTELS If you had more primitive accommodation in mind, why not
try the caves of Sassi di Matera on the toe of Italy, which (6)________________
since the Bronze Age? During the Renaissance they developed into INHABIT

Although visitors to Le Grotte Della Civita must do without television or
fridges, the rooms (9)_______________ with antique furniture and period FURNISH

Prices start at $300 per night.

One thing you do not expect an oil minister to do is to block the development of
his own (1)______________ oil fields. But that is exactly what Alberto Acosta COUNTRY
did when he was appointed Ecuador’s Oil Minister in 2007.
For a relatively poor country whose main income is from oil exports, this
proposal seemed like madness. But if Ecuador is not rich by economic standards,
in terms of biodiversity, it is one of the (2)__________ places on Earth. When RICH
scientists (3)______________ trees in the Yasuni National Park in Ecuador’s STUDY
unspoiled rain forest, they found over 650 different species of tree in just one
hectare – (4)__________ than the total number in all of the US and Canada MANY
combined.
Mr Acosta said he (5)___________ rather the oil companies did not destroy WILL
these natural riches. His innovative idea was to leave the oil reserves beneath
Yasuni Park untouched, in return for compensation of half their value. The oil is
worth more than $7 billion, so Ecuador asked the international community to
pay $3.6 billion not to extract it.
But the plan (6)___________ with problems, both from within Ecuador and MEET
from outside. The state oil company, Petroecuador, opposes the scheme and
many suspect that President Correa now wishes he had never supported it. At

Ecuador is not the only country trying to get richer nations to pay for not
exploiting (8)__________ forests. Both Nigeria and Guatemala are hoping they THEY
will (9)______________ make similar deals. A spokesperson for local CAN
environmental groups explained, ‘This is a fantastic initiative. If only people in
developed countries appreciated that these forests absorb a lot of the CO2 that
their industries produce. If we (10)___________ something to protect NOT DO
biodiversity and prevent climate change, we will all be losers – with
consequences I’d rather not even think about.’

The photographer, Steve McCurry, remembers the moment too. It was 1984
and he was recording the lives of Afghan refugees in a camp in Pakistan. She
(4)_____________ out of the school tent and he thought at the time that the STARE
picture (5)_____________ be nothing special. Yet the ‘Afghan girl’, as the WILL
portrait (6)_____________ now, became one of the most iconic images of our KNOW
time. McCurry used her intense expression, so untypical of an average,
carefree twelve-year-old girl, to warn us not to ignore the victims of war,
especially its young victims.
In 2002 National Geographic persuaded McCurry to return to Pakistan to look
for the girl. After (7)_____________ her photo around the refugee camp, he SHOW
found a man who had known her as a child and knew where to find her. He
offered to fetch (8)_____________ from her home in the Tora Bora mountains SHE
and after three days returned with Sharbat Gula, a woman perhaps 29 years
old. McCurry knew at once that this was her.
Time and hardship had erased her youth. Her skin was weathered. Yet her eyes
still burned with the same intensity. Her brother explained the story of their LIFE
(9)____________, blaming the war for forcing them and many other Afghans
out of their homeland. When Sharbat was six years old, they fled to the
mountains, hiding in caves and begging people to give them food and blankets.
She married when she was sixteen and now her time is occupied with bringing
up her three children, cooking, cleaning and caring for them. Yet she does not AMAZINGLY
complain about having a hard life. (10)___________, she is not aware of the
impact that the photo of the young Sharbat with her sea-green eyes had on the
world.

been called the ultimate professional. He was hired to do a job. He did the job
and then he (2)___________ home and kept quiet about it. In 40 years, he gave GO

a hero to millions of people, remain such a mystery?
People like Armstrong often develop their interests at a young age. He followed
a career built on a passion for (4)____________ that he developed in his FLY

school in Wapakoneta, Ohio. He then did a course in aerospace engineering at
Purdue University in Indiana, sponsored by the United States Navy, which

Korea.
He (7)_____________ for a space plane pilot training programme in 1960 but SELECT
shortly after news began to circulate that NASA was looking for astronauts for
their Apollo programme. Incredibly excited, he applied for the job and in 1962
was accepted. The rest, as they say, is history.
When the astronauts returned from the Apollo 11 Moon landing of July 1969,
Armstrong was a worldwide celebrity and could have done ANY

became a teacher at the University of Cincinnati and at the weekend went
flying to get away from all the attention. He subsequently worked for two COMPANY
