1. read the text about Kenneth. Mark the sentences "TRUE" or "FALSE" according to the context. "My dream job" My dream job would be becoming a professional baseball player. I grew up playing little league baseball. I was never the best player on the team; yet, playing baseball was something I
would look forward to doing every day and just have fun doing it. I haven't played baseball for the
last four years. I really miss the times when I would just have that happy feeling when my dad would drive up to the park, when I would get a base hit, when I would catch a fly ball, or just the fact that was a part of a team.
So many baseball players these days take their jobs for granted. Many play baseball not just because they are good at it, but because of the money. Alex Rodriguez signed a $252 million contract for the Texas Rangers in 2000. Anybody in the entire world would love to be in his shoes. After all, what would you do with $252 million? For myself, I would love to be in Alex Rodriguez's shoes, not because of the money, not because of the fame, but because if I were in his shoes, I would just treasure every moment of every second that I am on the field.I would feel like the luckiest person alive every time I an reminded that I am living the dream, a dream that many people like myself would die to get the chance to do.

Как и все,что относится к древности и вызывает диспуты ученых по поводу своего происхождения, происхождение названия «Лондон» имеет несколько версий:
Современное название города — Лондон — восходит к его латинскому наименованию «Лондиниум» (лат. Londinium) - «место,принадлежащее человеку по имени Londinos,» предположительно Кельтское имя,означающее «дикий.»Название — латинского происхождения, и происходит от слова Lond, что означает «Дикое (то есть заросшее лесом) место».Название — кельтского происхождения, и состоит из двух слов: Llyn (озеро) и Dun («дун», укрепление): в кельтский период город назывался Llyndid.Город Лондон был основан Римлянами в первом веке н.э.на месте уже существовавших туземных поселений. Корни Londin-и Lundin-являются самыми распространенными в названиях, используемые римлянами в те времени касаемо новых земель.London (Engl. London) - the capital of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and England.
As with everything that relates to the ancient disputes and causes of scientists about their origin, origin of the name "London" has several versions:
The modern name of the city - London - goes back to its Latin name "Londinium" (lat. Londinium) - «place belonging to a man named Londinos,» presumably Celtic name meaning "wild."Name - Latin origin, and comes from the word Lond, which means "wild (ie, forested) place."Name - of Celtic origin, and is composed of two words: Llyn (lake) and Dun («tung", strengthening) in the Celtic period, the city was called Llyndid.The city of London was founded by the Romans in the first century ADBut already existing place of native settlements. Londin-roots and Lundin-are the most common in the names used by the Romans in those regards to time of new lands.
