Задание 1. Прочитайте и письменно переведите следующий текст. Составьте 5 вопросов к тексту. WAVES AND WAVE – MOTION
We see water waves almost every day, we make use of light waves to see the water waves; we hear sounds by means of sound waves. Wave – motion is everywhere. Water waves, light waves, sound waves, any kind of waves, have one thing in common. They transmit energy through a medium by means of vibrations of the particles, but the medium as a whole is not changed or displaced. The number of complete vibrations per second is called the frequency of the wave-motion. The distance between the top of one wave and the top of the next (or between the bottom of one wave and the bottom of the next) is called the wave-length. To find the speed of the wave-motion we multiply the frequency by the wave-length. This important equation is true for any kind of waves.
On this day in the morning my parents come into my room and say, "Happy Birthday!" And, of course, they don’t forget about presents. They usually know beforehand what my secret wish is. I enjoy surprises but still it’s better to know what I am going to get.
My telephone keeps ringing all the day, people are calling to say “Happy birthday!” and this really great to feel that people remember about you.
Usually we go for a picnic on my birthday, but his year I want to have my birthday party at home. I will celebrate my birthday on Saturday so everybody can come. We have invited my friends and relatives to the party. There will be 12 people. We usually have big parties at home and like to meet guests. My parents help me organize this party. My father and I go shopping to buy food and everything we need for the party and my mom stays at home to start cooking. She also lays the table, she does it perfectly. When we come back I start helping my mom with cooking in the kitchen. We cook a lot of tasty food. When everything is ready we dress up, make our hair and wait for the guests.
At five o'clock my relatives and friends arrive to congratulate me and I am happy to see them. They bring a lot of flowers, presents, postcards and sweets. I have got a lot of nice presents - a computer, a couple of DVD’s, a yo-yo, postcards and money. I thank them all.
I usually enjoy my birthday parties. We have a good holiday dinner and everybody is merry. We dance, make jokes, sing karaoke, play games, speak about different things and don’t forget about tasty things on the table. My mom brings the birthday cake and I blow the candles out.
Everyone enjoys the party very much. After the party we go for a walk. This is one of the best holidays for me.
