Exercise 1
Films play an important role in the life of any society. The cinema has become part of the
modern (1) way of life.
The capabilities of films are unlimited. In the past, their power to show modern (2) events
was appreciated. That’s why watching films has become a new form of entertainment and is
considered to be one of the best ways of spending one's (3) leisure time.
There are a lot of different kinds of films: action films, horror films, thrillers, science-
fiction (sci-fi) films, adventure films, mystery films, documentaries, animated cartoon films.
Besides, films may be color or (4) black and white, full-length or short, sound or silent, three-
dimensional (3D) or wide-screen.
We can see films either in the (5) cinema or on TV. As I am often short of time, I have
almost no time for going to the cinema. For this reason, I see films on television more often. I
prefer action films and amusing comedies. Life is so difficult nowadays and I want to relax a
little and sometimes laugh.
Sometimes I become excited watching (6) animated cartoon films. I especially like Walt
Disney’s cartoons “Duck Tales” and “Winnie-the-Pooh's Adventures”. In my opinion, animated
cartoon films are popular both with children and adults, while educational films are mainly for
schoolchildren and students.
In Great Britain and the USA films (“movies” as they often call them) sell more than one
billion tickets a year. Movies are also shown on television and can be rented or purchased as a
(7)DVD-copy.
All in all, attending movies is quite an inexpensive leisure time activity that is very
popular.

Объяснение:
Привет мику!
There are hundreds of mosquitoes, scorpions, poisonous spiders and snakes in the Everglades swamps ( дело в том, что я пишу о Эверглейде. Это по сути национальный парк, но это по сути джунгли). Their bites and sting can be very dangerous and sometimes fatal! You have to look where you walk, wear long trousers, strong boots and lots of insect repellent.
It can rain a lot in the jungle and flash flood are a real danger. A flash water is a wall of water that can travel at 96 kmph. Is the ground snaking? Can you hear a strange noise like an airplane engine? Climb up a cliff or a tree. You have to the highest place you can quickly!
More than a million alligators live in the swamps. So how can you see where they are? Well, bubbles on the water can be an alligator ready for lunch! These reptiles can run up to 48 kmph. They can't turn quickly, though, so if you see an alligator, you must run away as soon as you can.
Джунгли полны опасных грязевых болот. Они могут поглотить машину или человека за несколько минут. Если вы упадёте в один, вы не должны паниковать! Чрезмерное движение только потянет вас ещё глубже! Вытягивайте каждую ногу медленно, а затем вам следует лечь ровно и осторожно выползти.
В Болотах сотни комаров, скорпионов, ядовитых пауков и змей. Их укусы и жало могут быть очень опасными или даже смертельными! Вам следует всегда смотреть где вы ходите, носить длинные брюки, высокие сапоги и средства против насекомых.
В болотах могут идти дожди, и внезапные наводнения — настоящая опасность. Внезапные наводнения — это стена воды, которая может двигаться со скоростью 96 км/ч. Землетрясение? Вы слышите странный шум, который похож на двигатель самолета? Забирайтесь на скалу или дерево. Вам необходимо добраться до самого высокого места, которого вы можете и очень быстро!
Более чем миллион аллигаторов живет в болотах. Итак, как вы сможете увидеть, где они? Ну, пузыри на воде могут означать, что аллигатор готовиться к обеду! Эти рептилии могут бегать со скоростью 48 км/ч. Они не могут быстро поворачиваться, поэтому если вы увидите аллигатора, вы должны убегать прочь так быстром насколько вы можете.
