O my luve’s like a red, red rose
Поэзия также является примером аутентичной разговорно-литературной речи.
«Поэзия - … сила, заключенная в некоем словесном потоке, который, соединяя смысл того, о чем говорится в тексте, с ритмом, лексическим своеобразием, звучанием строк, образует словесную ткань, несущую нечто большее, чем литературный пересказ; а именно – определенную духовную энергию, заставляющую нас волноваться, превращающую, подчас, небольшой отрывок текста в ценность, которую народы хранят веками». (Петр Брандт)
Бесспорно, лучшие образцы британской поэзии являют собой «возвышенный до совершенства» язык. Послушайте народную шотландскую песню “ O my luve’s like a red, red rose” (слова поэта Роберта Бернса)
Let it Be - The Beatles
Песни – это богатейший аутентичный материал для изучения английского языка. Выучивая тексты песен, вы без особых усилий осваиваете полезные выражения, расширяете и активизируете свой словарный запас, на подсознательном уровне усваиваете грамматические структуры, а также улучшаете свое произношение и понимание английской речи на слух.
Я советую вам слушать и обязательно петь хорошие песни на английском языке. А начать можно с легендарной британской группы “Beatles”.

theatres and museums, cinemas and libraries, parks and gardens in Moscow.

STAYING HEALTHY
We
should all have a healthy life-style. But sometimes we get ill. So when you are
ill follow these simple rules:
1. If
you have a cold, you should stay in bed, take some aspirin or cough syrup. But
it’s better to go to the doctor’s at once.
2. If you have a stomachache, drink some tea
or go to the doctor’s.
3. If you have a rash, skin cream can help
you.
4.
Don’t eat many sweets. They’re bad
for your teeth. If you have a toothache, you should go to the dentist’s right away.
But
there are some golden rules how to stay always healthy:
1. We should eat lots of fruit and
vegetables. They have Vitamins A, B and C.
2. We should sleep and exercise a lot. It
helps to keep the body strong and fit.
And
always remember these English proverbs:
1. “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”
2. “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man
healthy, wealthy and wise”

MEALS IN RUSSIA
The
food we eat influences our health and our mood.
In
Russia people have 3 or 4 meals a day.
I
think breakfast is a very important meal. In Russia people usually drink hot
tea or coffee to start the day. There are a lot of different kinds of bread to
eat. Brown bread is very traditional in Russia. We eat bread with butter and
jam. Blini (pancakes), sausages and fried eggs are also typical things to eat
for breakfast. Kasha (porridge) is also very popular, especially for children.
We like tvorog (a kind of cottage cheese) with sugar.
As
for dinner it’s another important meal during the day. All people in Russia
like shchi. Shchi is a cabbage soup with meat, carrots, onions and green
pepper. A lot of Russian proverbs talk about this soup. For example, Shchi da
kasha pishcha nasha means Shchi and kasha are our food.
As
for me my favourite food is __________________________ .
