Report what the girl an the boy said:

"I think the future will be cool. When the weather is not good, all you need to do is push a button and your house would be up above the clouds. All the schools would have computers. And whenever you want to go somewhere you'll have a flying board to take you there. Also, when your house is messy, you just call your maid, Rose." Rose, 6 years old

"Computers and CD Roms will change the future of education because the CDRom will be like a textbook stored on a disk. So instead of carrying loads of heavy textbooks, you carry a couple of disks that you can read the material from. Learning would be made easier and less of a burden." Mark, 8 years old

I was in the bank at 12.30. I saw two men and a girl run into the bank. A tall, white man with a gun ran up to the window and shouted something like “Give me all your money”. He had short, dark hair. A second man, with a suitcase, went up to the window and helped the first man to put money into it. He was a 30-year-old, black man wearing jeans and a black sweater. He was very tall . the girl was about 25 with long blonde hair, wearing red trousers and a white shirt. When the suitcase was full I saw all three of them run out of the bank.

2. Read the following information about the Great Pyramid and underline the passive verbs:

The Great Pyramid was built in Egypt about 5,000 years ago. It was constructed to the west of the River Nile. This area was called “The Land of the Dead”. The Great Pyramid was made from huge blocks of limestone*. The wheel hadn’t yet been invented, so the blocks of stone were pulled from the quarry* by hundreds of men on a path of wooden logs. The pyramid was designed with the solid core* of limestone with four sides, and gaps were left for corridors and various rooms. It is not known exactly what the pyramids were used for, but burial* chambers (where the bodies of dead pharaohs and their families and servants were placed) have been found deep inside the pyramids. It is thought that the pyramids were designed to help the pharaoh’s spirit rise up to the sun after death. The pyramids are visited by millions of people each year.

* limestone- [‘laim stǝun]-известняк

* quarry-[kwɔri]- каменоломня

* solid core-[‘sɔlid kɔ:]- цельная часть

* burial-[beriǝl]- похороны

Unit 9

Put the paragraphs in order and do the task below:

____Scientists believe that the Solar System appeared from a giant cloud of dust and gas. They believe that this dust and gas began to collapse under the weight of its own gravity. As it did so, the matter contained within this could begin moving in a giant circle, much like the water in a drain moves around the center of the drain in a circle.

_____At the center of this spinning cloud, a small star began to form. This star grew larger and larger as it collected more and more of the dust and gas that collapsed into it.

_____The creation of our Solar System took place billions of years before there were any people around to witness it. Our own evolution is tied closely to the evolution of the Solar System. Thus, without understanding from where the Solar System came from, it is difficult to comprehend how mankind came to be.

_____Further away from the center of this mass where the star was forming, there were smaller clumps of dust and gas that were also collapsing. The star in the center eventually ignited forming our Sun, while the smaller clumps became the planets, minor planets, moons, comets, and asteroids.

1. The creation of our Solar System took place billions of years before there were any Russian people to witness it.__________

2. Scientists believe that the Solar System appeared from a giant cloud of dust and water.__________
