A)  Kamchatka is one of the most interesting diving destinations in Russia. It offers an opportunity to dive in a unique underwater world with more than 350 species of fish, seals, sea lions, sea otters, walruses, orcas, and whales. Avachinsky Bay, Starichkov Island, and Russian Bay are just a few of many diving sites popular among local divers.

B)  Ben's Fish Café might look like a Mediterranean tavern from the outside, but it offers some of the tastiest fish in London. Take your pick from a wide variety of grilled, steamed or deep-fried fish, accompanied by a side of potatoes served in either chip, new potato or mash form at this south London location. Ben's Fish Café is really worth visiting.

C)  The new Sea Life London Aquarium is home to one of Europe's largest collections of global marine life. It takes visitors on an interactive journey along the Great Oceanic Conveyor. There is plenty of interaction along the way from feeding the fish to touch pools and discovery zones. You will see seahorses, octopus, zebra sharks and the popular clown fish.

D)  Becoming a professional swimmer is more of a lifestyle choice than a career. In order to be successful, you will need to keep your body fit at all times. You will have to manage your diet, train every single day, and have serious drive and ambition. The majority of professional swimmers compete in pool swimming competitions.

E)  The mola, also called the giant ocean sunfish, is gigantic. These huge sunfish can grow to weigh 5,000 pounds. That's almost as much as a small pickup truck. The mola has an unusual look. It's round. They are not dangerous, but they are rather curious. They often approach divers and snorkelers  — just to investigate.

This text deals with …

1)  clothes;

2)  a famous team;

3)  a geography;

4)  school activities;

5)  the history of things;

6)  a traditional sport. 

A.  Lapta is a Russian folk game that is played with a bat and a ball. The game has similarities to baseball and cricket, though it has been found that Lapta is much older than baseball. It is played on a big field, between two teams with six players on each team. The aim is to hit a ball with a bat as far as possible, then run across the field, and if possible come back.

B.  Vancouver is a big city on the Pacific Coast of Canada. It is a seaport city. The city is surrounded by mountains and water. It is famous for its amazing location. It has different weather conditions from the rest of the country. Vancouver is the third largest city in Canada after Toronto and Montreal. The population of the city is more than 630 000 people.

C.  If you go to Vancouver in May, be ready for rainy weather. It is cloudy much of the month. You won't need a winter coat and lots of warm sweaters. Take an umbrella and a raincoat. Pack a pair of shoes because it is too cool and wet in Vancouver in May for wearing sandals. Don't forget long-sleeved shirts, jeans and pants. You will need a light jacket to wear when it's not raining.

D.  Umbrellas first appeared in ancient Egypt over 3 thousand years ago. They were created to protect rich people from sunlight. The Chinese were the first to make leather umbrellas for rain protection. This invention was discovered in China in the 11th century BC. In the 16th century umbrellas became popular in the western world, especially in the rainy climates of northern Europe.

E.  Many students find learning interesting, but quite difficult. They have to read a lot of books on different subjects, such as History or Geography. They must learn many names and dates to pass the tests. They need to compare facts and express their opinion to get a good grade for their essay. It is good that there is a PE lesson when they can play sports and get some exercise.

B. Yesterday afternoon a 35-year-old housewife escaped death when a tree blew and fell onto her house, completely destroying it. It was windy. She heard a strange noise coming from the tree. Suddenly the wind blew a little stronger, and she watched it crash onto the roof. The Bonnet family are staying with their friends while their house is rebuilt.

C. The third largest city in the United States, Chicago, is on the shore of Lake Michigan. Two rivers, the Chicago and the Calumet, run through the city, and canals link them with the Mississippi River, which flows down to the Gulf of Mexico. Ships can also sail from Chicago through the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean. The climatic conditions of the city are very specific, because strong winds blow through it.

D. An American jet pilot took off from Fort Worth, but the jet’s engines went wrong. The pilot ejected, but the plane didn’t crash. The engines began working again. The jet flew for more than one hour over three states. Finally it crashed near Lincoln, Nebraska. It hit some trees in a field where a farmer was working. Fortunately, no one was hurt.

E. Last year I went to Spain for my holiday. I spent the first week in Seville, and then I took a train to Barcelona, where Г spent another ten days. It is a beautiful city and I had a marvellous time. I stayed in a very expensive hotel right in the centre, but I didn’t mind spending a lot of money because it is a wonderful place and very convenient. My brother recommended it; he goes to Spain a lot and he never stays anywhere else.
