Reading Task 1. Read the text and answer the questions. Fast food is the food of the future It is difficult to imagine our life without fast food. It is gradually forcing out the traditional cuisine, and many people are sure that fast food will dominate in the future. In my opinion, fast food is really the thing of the future. First of all, people's life is getting faster, and in the future it will reqire much quicker solutions in almost every sphere. People will have to do things more quickly, including meals. The schedule of most people is becoming tougher, so, eventually, they will not have enough time to eat properly. Fast food will be the best suited for a quick meal. Sandwiches and burgers of various kinds are advertised and sold on every corner, so people cannot resist a temptation of buying one. In the future, the temptation will definitely grow on. But there are people who believe that fast food will never dominate home-cooked meal because of its harm to the health. It is common knowledge that this kind of food causes serious illnesses, because it is made mostly from artificial substances. Nevertheless I cannot support the opposing opinion because food production is being perfected at a high rate, and future fast food is overwhelmingly likely to consist of healthy ingredients. In conclusion, I would like to emphasize the fact that the future is born in the present. If we want to predict what our life will look like in the years to come, we should pay attention to the modem tendencies. As regards our meal, fast food is booming today, which means it will be our basic food tomorrow. 1. Many people aren't sure that fast food will dominate in the future. 2.

Odessa is an eternally young and hospitable city on the Black Sea coast. I love so much this tart smell of the sea, this Odessa dialect, which cannot be confused with any other. This subtle Odessa humor.
It seems that Odessa has always been. Meanwhile, she is a little over two hundred years old. The empress herself, Catherine II, was directly involved in its foundation.
The city in the most miraculous way stood in a bare steppe - uninhabited, wild and deserted. The Turks, who used to live there, did nothing on this land. She seemed to be waiting for caring, hardworking hands. And finally she waited. On the site of the ancient fortress Khadzhibey, like a giant from a fairy tale, a wonderful city began to appear - my dear Odessa.
For its construction, a fabulous sum for those times was allocated from the state treasury - 26 thousand rubles.
For these two hundred years, Odessa had to go through so much! But it arose from a fortress, and became a fortress itself, in spite of any adversity. Both wars and revolutions have gone through it. And the eternal Duke condescendingly looks at all human adversity from his pedestal, and the most beautiful Potemkin Stairs still descends to the sea. On its almost two hundred steps, funny races are often arranged not only by desperate daredevils, but also by experienced athletes.
The Odessa Opera House is recognized as one of the most beautiful in Europe, and the artists claim that it is a pleasure to sing in it, such good acoustics there.
You can walk around Odessa endlessly, enjoy its quiet streets and beautiful avenues.
And of course, my dear Odessa cannot be imagined without its beaches, without the best market in the world - Privoz.
Come to Odessa, you will understand that there is simply no better place in the world
1. Джеймса Кука всегда отличался терпимостью, но и это не ему от беды. Несмотря на это, память о нем живет в сердцах потомков. Кроме пролива, его именем назван крупный архипелаг в Тихом океане. В честь названия судна, на котором ходил капитан, назвали командный модуль корабля «Аполлон-15».
2. Главное дело жизни Джеймса Кука – организация 3 кругосветных путешествий. Первое длилось с 1768 по 1771 гг. Капитан судна «Индевор» Джеймс Кук отплыл от берегов родного королевства, чтобы найти загадочный Южный континент. За эти годы корабль обогнул: Гаити, Новую Зеландию, Австралию, новую Гвинею – и вернулся к берегам Англии
3. Вторая экспедиция Джеймса Кука. Уже через год (в 1772 г.) Кук вновь ступил на палубу корабля «Резолюшн». «Эдвенчер», второе судно экспедиции, также было направлено в плавание для открытия Южного материка. Антарктиду в ходе этого путешествия открыть не удалось, зато на карте появились новые острова Тихого океана.
