So I've chosen photo number 2. This photo was taken last summer when I and
my father went to our favourite lake to do some fishing during the weekend. In
the foreground of the picture we can see me and my dad smiling as we caught the
biggest fish I have ever seen. Here I am wearing light clothes as the summer
was extremely hot. In the background of the picture you can see an almost
deserted beach as only local people know about this place. In this picture my
father is sitting on his knee while I am standing behind him. We are holding
the fish we have caught several minutes before. The sun is shining so brightly
that my father is wearing sunglasses. I decided to keep this photo so that I
could remember that amazing weekend and that great fishing experience. I know, you
are choosing what to do on the forthcoming weekend, so, I decided to show you
this picture. Maybe you will be inspired to do something like that. That is all
I wanted to say .

HOW TO WRITE AN ESSAY
(a video and a sample)
Задание для учащегося
Comment on the following statement.
My parents say the way they lived in the past was
more secure. However, I believe that young people are given a lot more life
opportunities nowadays.
What is your opinion? Which way of life will be more
satisfying for future generations?
Write 200–250 words.
Use the following plan:
− make an introduction (state the problem)
− express your personal opinion and give 2–3 reasons for your opinion
− express an opposing opinion and give 1–2 reasons for this opposing
opinion
− explain why you don’t agree with the opposing opinion
− make a conclusion restating your position

So, these are the stories:
11A- an article about a curious bird
Would you think
someone was serious if they asked you about bird nesting during winter in
our hinterland, where the snow is deep, the weather is stormy, and
the temperature sometimes drops lower than 40 below zero?
11B & C a story "University Days" (just the beginning)
I liked physics
and chemistry when I was at the university, but I wasn’t very good at
economics. There was another student, whose name was Jim Green, who was even
worse. He was one of the star players on the football team, but he couldn’t
continue to play if he didn’t pass all his examinations. That was very
difficult, for though Jim used his big feet very well
on the football field, he couldn’t make any goals in the classroom.

I’ve chosen photo number … (обязательно начинаем с этой фразы!)
I took this photo during my holidays (travelling, two years ago) when I was in …. (любой город или страну)Отвечаем на вопрос what/who is in the photo и what is happening (4-5 предложений)
In the foreground of the picture you can see… (кого мы видим и что они делают)
You can’t see me because I’m taking the photo.

In the background of the picture you can see… (Можно также использовать конструкцию there is/are…)Отвечаем на вопрос why you keep the photo in your album
I keep this photo in my album because looking at this photo makes me go back in that time. Moreover, I used this photo for my school project (название проекта в зависимости от темы, например My family, My travelling, My hobby и так далее)Отвечаем на вопрос why you decided to show the picture to your friend
I decided to show this photo to you because it carries pleasant memories.That’s all I wanted to say. (Закончите Ваш ответ этой фразой)
ТЕПЕРЬ ОТВЕТ:
I've chosen photo number 1.
As you know I like taking photos. It is my hobby and I can't miss an opportunity to make photo of an interesting event. Now I want to show you one of my best photos.
I took this photo two months ago when my parents and I went to Moscow to visit my elder brother’s family. Recently they have moved into a new flat and invited us to a house-warming party. This was one of the most exciting moments in my life.
In the foreground of the picture you can see my brother Maxim, his wife Julia and their daughter Anna. You can’t see me because I’m taking the photo. They are sitting on a comfortable white sofa in the living room. They are very happy because at last their dream came true.
In the background of the picture there is a white bookcase with open shelves. I like their decision to furnish the room in white colour because it makes the room look wider. As my brother works as a journalist for a local newspaper you can see a lot of books and magazines on the shelves.
I keep this photo in my album because looking at this photo makes me go back in that time. Moreover, I used this photo for my school project called “My Family Tree”.
I decided to show this photo to you because it carries pleasant memories.
That’s all I wanted to say.

Here's an abstract for reading in the RNE format.
First, study the story thoroughly, pick out the new words and phrases, learn to read them correctly, and only then, record the story (time limit is 1,5 minutes)
№ 2947.
There is an established stereotype among foreigners that Russia is a country of eternal frost and snow-covered streets. This is all because for many years foreigners have been frightened by the phrase "Russian winter". But it's not all that simple, Russia is a vast country and the weather in different areas can be completely different. Russia consists of several continental zones. For example, in the north winters are long and harsh, in some places there is lots of snow and temperatures fall below -40 degrees Celsius . These winters are normal, not only in the northern regions of the country but even in the Far East. Summers in these areas don't even see three warm months out of the year.
The closer you get to the south the warmer the Russian climate gets. In the central part of the country summer becomes warm--even hot--which makes it possible for a good harvest of grain, fruit and vegetables. Winters here are not extremely cold and the average winter temperature does not fall below -15 degrees Celsius. By the way, in Russia the real warmth does not start until the middle of April. And only at the end of May does everything start to bloom and people go without their warm clothing.

Task 1 Reading
Task 1. Imagine that you are preparing a project with your friend. You have found some interesting material for the presentation and you want to read this text to your friend. Read the text silently, then be ready to read it out aloud.
There aren't many birds around in winter. Most have left your area. Those that stay are not as active. Activity uses energy that is needed to keep warm. The worst problems for birds in winter are getting enough heat and holding on to the heat once it is made. These are problems for all birds. But it is especially true for very small ones. They cannot find enough food. The weather stays so cold for so long that they cannot eat enough to keep alive. But birds have many ways of fighting the cold.
You shiver to keep warm. The heat that you make is made mostly in your muscles. The muscles make more heat when they are active. So one way of keeping warm is to move about, use your muscles. Another way is to shiver. When your body needs heat, the muscles tighten and loosen quickly. They become active. Just as you shiver to keep warm, so do birds.
Task 2 Direct questions on the pictorial situation (Variants 1-2-3)

As soon as spring brings a new growth of bushes and
berries, bears start feeding. They eat and eat. All through the spring and
summer their feeding goes on. The bears build themselves up. They store food
and fats that they will need in the fall when they start their long sleep.As days grow shorter, and the temperature begins to
fall, bears hunt for a sleeping place. It may be a shallow cave, or a deep
crack between rocks. Some bears end up sleeping in hollow logs. Logs seem to be
bears’ favourite places. Bears seem to choose small spaces. They can keep
warmer in a cave that’s just large enough to hold them than in a larger cave.
They often line their sleeping place with leaves and dried grass.All through their winter naps, bears will not eat.
Often they will sleep for 7 months, moving only now and then.

I believe that public transport is very important in our everyday life because it is a convenient way to get to your destination. It is especially helpful for those who work in the city centres where taking a car is sometimes impossible. It is also very useful for teenagers since they do not have a driver’s license. It allows them to have some independence and not always rely on a parent or another adult to drive them around. While not always perfect, public transport is quite reliable. There are timetables which tell you when the means of transport run and since the same routes are followed, you have a rough idea of how long it will take to get to your destination. Many people have their own cars, and while it might be easier to use them in the evenings and at weekends, I believe that public transport is the best alternative for everyday life. It is less expensive to use public transport than pay for petrol and car maintenance. What is more, if more people used public transport our city streets would be less congested and there would be less pollution. So public transport is not only more economical, it also helps us protect our environment.

Thank you for your letter. At our college there is a Career’s Advisor, who helps us to decide which occupation to choose. I have made an appointment to see her next week. I am hoping that she can give me some advice about training to become an engineer. I would like to work at the aircraft factory that is in my town. My favourite subject at school was Science so I would teach that, but I think I would be a very bad teacher!

GERUND or INFINITIVE?
Герундий или инфинитив? / GERUND OR INFINITIVE?
The two
groups of verbs below can be followed either by the gerund or by the
infinitive. Usually this has no effect on the meaning, but with some verbs
there is a clear difference in meaning. Verbs marked * can also be followed
by a that-clause.
I prefer living in an apartment. Я предпочитаю проживаниие в квартире
А. Verbs where there is little or
no difference in meaning:
allow позволять
attempt пытаться
begin начинать
bother беспокоить
cease прекращать
continue продолжать
deserve заслуживать
fear* бояться
hate* ненавидеть
intend* намереваться
like
любить (нравиться)
love
любить (кото-то)
neglect
пренебрегать
omit
опускать, пропускать
permit
позволять
prefer*
предпочитатть
recommend* рекомендовать
start
начинать
Notes:
Прмечания:
- Her parents allowed her to
go to the party.
- Её
родители разрешили ей пойти на вечеринку
b. Allow
+ gerund:
- Her parents don't allow smoking in
the house.
- Её
родители не разрешают её курить дома (= ....курение дома)
2. Deserve +
gerund is not very common, but is mainly used with passive constructions or
where there is a passive meaning:
- Your proposals deserve being considered
in detail.
- Ваши
предложения заслуживают подробного рассмотрения
- These ideas deserve
discussing. (=
to be discussed).
- Эти
идеи заслуживают обсуждения (= того, чтобы их обсудили)
3. The
verbs hate, love, like, prefer are usually followed
by a gerund when the meaning isgeneral, and by a to-infinitive when
they refer to a particular time or situation. You must always use the to-infinitive with
the expressions 'would love to', 'would hate to', etc.
3. После глаголов hate (=ненавидеть) , love(=любить),
like(=мне нравится) , prefer(=предпочитать) ставят герундий,
если эти глаголы имеют общий смысл. Если же они
относятся к конкретному времени и месту, то после них ставят to-инфинитив. После
выражениий 'would love to' (= очень хотел бы...), 'would
hate to' (= совершенно не хотел бы...) всегда
используйте только инфинитив
- I hate to tell you,
but Uncle Jim is coming this weekend.
- Очень
не хочется говорить тебе об этом, но на выходные к нам приезжает дядя
Джим
- I hate looking after
elderly relatives!
- Очень
не люблю ухаживать за престарелыми родственниками
- I
love dancing.
- Я
люблю танцевать
- I would love to dance with
you.
- Я
хотел бы (с)танцевать с вами
B. Verbs where there is a clear difference in meaning:
Глаголы , после которых употребление инфинитива и
герундия даёт разный смысл
Verbs marked with an asterisk* can also be followed by
a that-clause.
Напомним, что после глаголов, помеченных *, может также идти
that-придаточное (придаточное в сложносочинённом предложении, начинающееся с that)
come приходить
forget* забывать
go on продолжать(ся)
mean*
означать, иметь в виду
regret*
сожалеть
remember* помнить
stop останавливать(ся)
try пытаться
Come: Глагол "приходить":
Come
+ gerund is
like other verbs of movement followed by the gerund, and means that the
subject is doing something as they move:
- She came running across
the field.
- Она
(по)бежала по полю
Come
+ to-infinitive means that something happens or develops, perhaps outside the
subject's control:
- At first I thought he was
crazy, but I've come to appreciate his sense of
humour.
- Поначалу
я принял его за сумасшедшего, но (со временем) стал понимать и
ценить его чувство юмора
- How did you come to
be outside the wrong house?

же ты оказался перед не тем домом (,что тебе нужен)
- This word has come to
mean something quite different.
- Это
слово стало означать нечто совершенно другое

door (= I
remember now, I locked the door earlier)

помню, что запирал дверь (= Помню сейчас, что запирал
ранее)
- He regretted speaking so
rudely. (= he regretted at some time in the past, he had spoken rudely
at some earlier time in the past.)

что ранее грубо говрил)
Forget is frequently used
with 'never' in the simple future form:
- I'll never forget meeting my
boss for the first time.
- Никогда
не забуду свою первую встречу с боссом
When
these verbs are followed by a to-infinitive, the infinitive
refers to an action happening at the same time, or later:
- I remembered to
lock the door (= I thought about it, then I did it.)
- Я
не забыл закрять дверь (= Я подумал , что нужно закрыть дверь, а потом закрыл)
- Don't forget to buy some
eggs! (=
Please think about it and then do it.)
- Не
забудь купить яиц! (=Пожалуйста, вспомни об этом и потом купи)
- We regret to
announce the late arrival of the 12.45 from Paddington. (= We feel sorry before we
tell you this bad news.)
- С
сожалением объявляем, что поезд отбытием 12.45 из Пэддингтона прибыл с
опозданием (=Сначала сожалеем, а потом сообщаем
плохую новость)

two hours.

продолжал говорить в течение двух часов
- I can't go on working like
this - I'm exhausted.

a process:

proposal, she went on to explain the benefits for the
company.

своё предложение, она затем объяснила его выгоды для
компании
- John Smith worked in local
government for five years, then went on to become a
Member of Parliament.
- Джон
Смит пять лет проработал в местных органах власти, а затем стал членом
парламента
Mean: означать
(в результате) , иметь в виду (намереваться) :
Mean
+ gerund expresses
what the result of an action will be, or what will be necessary:
- If you take that job in
London it will mean travelling for two hours every
day.
- Если
ты поступишь на эту работу в Лондоне, то придётся ездить по
два часа в день
- We could take the ferry to
France, but that will mean spending a night in a
hotel.

them because the wages were so low.
- Я
бросил работу у них потому, что заработок был очень
маленький
Stop tickling me!

меня щекотать!

+ to-infinitive means
to interrupt an activity in order to do something else, so the infinitive
is used to express a purpose:

travelling, and I interrupted what I was doing in order to eat.)

прекратил (работать), чтобы пообедать (= Я работал/ехал, но
остановился, чтобы поесть)

So I've chosen photo number 2. This photo was taken last summer when I and
my father went to our favourite lake to do some fishing during the weekend. In
the foreground of the picture we can see me and my dad smiling as we caught the
biggest fish I have ever seen. Here I am wearing light clothes as the summer
was extremely hot. In the background of the picture you can see an almost
deserted beach as only local people know about this place. In this picture my
father is sitting on his knee while I am standing behind him. We are holding
the fish we have caught several minutes before. The sun is shining so brightly
that my father is wearing sunglasses. I decided to keep this photo so that I
could remember that amazing weekend and that great fishing experience. I know, you
are choosing what to do on the forthcoming weekend, so, I decided to show you
this picture. Maybe you will be inspired to do something like that. That is all
I wanted to say . Источник:http://lizasenglish.ru/ekzameny-na-anglijskom/kak-opisyvat-kartinki-dlya-ege.html

HOW TO WRITE AN ESSAY
(a video and a sample)
Задание для учащегося
C2.You have 40 minutes to do this task.
Comment on the following statement.
My parents say the way they lived in the past was
more secure. However, I believe that young people are given a lot more life
opportunities nowadays.
What is your opinion? Which way of life will be more
satisfying for future generations?
Write 200–250 words.
Use the following plan:
− make an introduction (state the problem)
− express your personal opinion and give 2–3 reasons for your opinion − express an opposing opinion and give 1–2 reasons for this opposing opinion − explain why you don’t agree with the opposing opinion − make a conclusion restating your position |

A lot of people, especially of older age, claim that life in their youth
was much quieter and they were more sure of tomorrow than young people
nowadays. But there are many things I do appreciate today. Among them is a
great variety of opportunities we have in life.
Firstly, the life has cardinally changed and at present young people, using
Internet and traveling abroad, are more and more informed about the world and
other cultures. Secondly, there is a wide choice of activities in which we can
take part now, starting from leisure clubs up to political and volunteer
programmes. Another thing to mention is a different range of job vacancies
offered to young people to earn their own money. This gives us more
independence from our family but, on the other hand, it teaches us to be
responsible for decisions we make.
However, our society now faces some serious problems such as high crime
rate, drug, game and smoking addictions, AIDS, poor environment, etc. They say
the society was kinder, the tempo of life was slower. They were not afraid of
unemployment. These are the reasons for the parents’ concern about our future.
And though I share their worries, I would rather risk than have uneventful,
monotonous, predictable life.
To sum up, I believe, modern life gives more opportunities and challenges
to the youth. There is more freedom, life is more exciting. That is why I hold
an opinion that the way of life of today is more satisfying.
So, these are the stories:
11A- an article about a curious bird
Would you think
someone was serious if they asked you about bird nesting during winter in
our hinterland, where the snow is deep, the weather is stormy, and
the temperature sometimes drops lower than 40 below zero?
Yet this is the
only time you would be likely to find the nest of the happy-go-lucky Gray
Jay or the Whiskey-Jack as it is more often called. Before it used to be called
the Canada Jay, for it is a true Canadian and never grumbles about the
weather, nor goes south to avoid it, but stays here and knows how to live with
it and enjoy it.
It is difficult
to find a reason for the unusual nesting behaviour of the Gray Jay. It is a
bird of the lonely hunter’s, camp, and shortly after the sound of a rifle
or axe, the inquisitive bird is on hand to see what can be
had. So intent are they in carrying off as much as they can, they seem to have
complete disregard for humans, If the pickings are good they awkwardly attempt
to carry an extra morsel in their feet to save time. One has to see this to
believe it.
11B & C a story "University Days" (just the beginning)
I liked physics
and chemistry when I was at the university, but I wasn’t very good at
economics. There was another student, whose name was Jim Green, who was even
worse. He was one of the star players on the football team, but he couldn’t
continue to play if he didn’t pass all his examinations. That was very
difficult, for though Jim used his big feet very well
on the football field, he couldn’t make any goals in the classroom.
All his professors
were very good to Jim and helped him. But especially good to him was our
economics professor, a quiet little man whose name was Bassum. He always asked
Green the simplest questions, but they didn’t seem easy to Jim. One day, when
we were studying transport, Professor Bassum called onGreen. “Name
one means of transport,” the professor said, but Green looked helpless.
“Something that takes us from one place to another,” the professor explained.
Green opened his mouth, but nothing came out of it. “Perhaps, Mr Green,” the
professor continued, “you can name the means of transport that we use when we
go on long trip.” It was very, very quiet in the room, but suddenly the
professor made a strange sound: “Choo-choo-…” and his face became red. He
looked at class hopefully. All of us agreed with professor Bassum that Jimmy Green
must not fall behind, because the Chicago game, one of the most
important of the season, was not far away.

I've chosen photo number 1.
As you know I like taking photos. It is my hobby and I can't miss an opportunity to make photo of an interesting event. Now I want to show you one of my best photos.
I took this photo two months ago when my parents and I went to Moscow to visit my elder brother’s family. Recently they have moved into a new flat and invited us to a house-warming party. This was one of the most exciting moments in my life.
In the foreground of the picture you can see my brother Maxim, his wife Julia and their daughter Anna. You can’t see me because I’m taking the photo. They are sitting on a comfortable white sofa in the living room. They are very happy because at last their dream came true.
In the background of the picture there is a white bookcase with open shelves. I like their decision to furnish the room in white colour because it makes the room look wider. As my brother works as a journalist for a local newspaper you can see a lot of books and magazines on the shelves.
I keep this photo in my album because looking at this photo makes me go back in that time. Moreover, I used this photo for my school project called “My Family Tree”.
I decided to show this photo to you because it carries pleasant memories.

Dear friends,
there are two pairs of pics to be compared: the picture in the right corner goes to the students of 11b & 11c-mind the feelings, emotions, body signs;
the pic in the left corner-that of the beasts-goes to 11a students-you pay attention to the surroundings, objects, atmosphere ... just seek for details to find the difference.
good luck to everybody!

A spacesuit is really three suits worn at the same
time. The inner suit is made of fabric woven of plastic tubes and nylon thread.
Water pumped through these tubes cools the spacesuit.
The next layer is a pressure suit. This garment
prevents the astronaut’s blood from boiling when there is no air pressure. Air
inflates the suit like a balloon. Special joints help the astronaut move in
this stiff suit.
The outer suit repels tiny bits of flying rock. These
particles might damage the pressure suit. The outer suit also protects the
astronaut during the extreme temperatures of lunar days and nights.
Like a snail, an astronaut carries his or her home- in
a spacesuit.

Here's an abstract for reading in the RNE format. First, study the story thoroughly, pick out the new words and phrases, learn to read them correctly, and only then, record the story (time limit is 1,5 minutes)
№ 2947.
There is an established stereotype among foreigners that Russia is a country of eternal frost and snow-covered streets. This is all because for many years foreigners have been frightened by the phrase "Russian winter". But it's not all that simple, Russia is a vast country and the weather in different areas can be completely different. Russia consists of several continental zones. For example, in the north winters are long and harsh, in some places there is lots of snow and temperatures fall below -40 degrees Celsius . These winters are normal, not only in the northern regions of the country but even in the Far East. Summers in these areas don't even see three warm months out of the year.
The closer you get to the south the warmer the Russian climate gets. In the central part of the country summer becomes warm--even hot--which makes it possible for a good harvest of grain, fruit and vegetables. Winters here are not extremely cold and the average winter temperature does not fall below -15 degrees Celsius. By the way, in Russia the real warmth does not start until the middle of April. And only at the end of May does everything start to bloom and people go without their warm clothing.
September, 10 Reading Practice for the RNE
  *******************************************  Task 1 Reading
Task 1. Imagine that you are preparing a project with your friend. You have found some interesting material for the presentation and you want to read this text to your friend. Read the text silently, then be ready to read it out aloud.
There aren't many birds around in winter. Most have left your area. Those that stay are not as active. Activity uses energy that is needed to keep warm. The worst problems for birds in winter are getting enough heat and holding on to the heat once it is made. These are problems for all birds. But it is especially true for very small ones. They cannot find enough food. The weather stays so cold for so long that they cannot eat enough to keep alive. But birds have many ways of fighting the cold.
You shiver to keep warm. The heat that you make is made mostly in your muscles. The muscles make more heat when they are active. So one way of keeping warm is to move about, use your muscles. Another way is to shiver. When your body needs heat, the muscles tighten and loosen quickly. They become active. Just as you shiver to keep warm, so do birds.

As soon as spring brings a new growth of bushes and berries, bears start feeding. They eat and eat. All through the spring and summer their feeding goes on. The bears build themselves up. They store food and fats that they will need in the fall when they start their long sleep.As days grow shorter, and the temperature begins to fall, bears hunt for a sleeping place. It may be a shallow cave, or a deep crack between rocks. Some bears end up sleeping in hollow logs. Logs seem to be bears’ favourite places. Bears seem to choose small spaces. They can keep warmer in a cave that’s just large enough to hold them than in a larger cave. They often line their sleeping place with leaves and dried grass.All through their winter naps, bears will not eat. Often they will sleep for 7 months, moving only now and then.
Samples of speaking and writing (tasks on page 98)I believe that public transport is very important in our everyday life because it is a convenient way to get to your destination. It is especially helpful for those who work in the city centres where taking a car is sometimes impossible. It is also very useful for teenagers since they do not have a driver’s license. It allows them to have some independence and not always rely on a parent or another adult to drive them around. While not always perfect, public transport is quite reliable. There are timetables which tell you when the means of transport run and since the same routes are followed, you have a rough idea of how long it will take to get to your destination. Many people have their own cars, and while it might be easier to use them in the evenings and at weekends, I believe that public transport is the best alternative for everyday life. It is less expensive to use public transport than pay for petrol and car maintenance. What is more, if more people used public transport our city streets would be less congested and there would be less pollution. So public transport is not only more economical, it also helps us protect our environment.

Thank you for your letter. At our college there is a Career’s Advisor, who helps us to decide which occupation to choose. I have made an appointment to see her next week. I am hoping that she can give me some advice about training to become an engineer. I would like to work at the aircraft factory that is in my town. My favourite subject at school was Science so I would teach that, but I think I would be a very bad teacher!
Why is your grandfather staying with you? Does he live a long way away? My grandparents live very near to me so I see them every day. How long is your grandfather going to stay with you?

right.
Interviewer: OK. And what relevant experience do
you have?
Sarah: Well, I haven’t worked in the
tourist industry before, but I’ve got a lot of experience of working with people.
I’ve been working as a hotel receptionist for the last two years.
Interviewer: Oh right! Well, I’m sure the skills
you’ve acquired as a receptionist would be very useful for this job. So what
other qualities do you have that would make you a good flight attendant?

common sense and communication skills. People say that I’m reliable too and I’m
also a really good organiser. Yes, I’m really organised.

for a flight attendant to be organised. There can be a lot to do in a very
short time on a flight! Now, if you are selected, you will have to complete a
two-month training
course.

employer one month’s notice, so I would be available from about 1st April.

thank you for coming, Miss Hodgkins. You’ll receive a letter in about a week to
let you know if you have been successful.
Sarah: Thank you very much. Goodbye.

сложносочинённом предложении, начинающееся с that)
Example: to
prefer Пример: предпочитать
[Здесь смысл не меняется]
I
prefer to live in an apartment. Я предпочитаю жить в квартире
I prefer living in an apartment. Я предпочитаю проживаниие в квартире
А. Verbs where there is little or
no difference in meaning:
В . Глаголы, после которых употребление герундия или
инфинитива (почти) не меняет смысла
Notes:
Прмечания:
1. Allow is
used in these two patterns:
1. Глагол Allow (=позволять,
допускать) используется в двух конструкциях :
a. Allow
+ object +
to-infinitive:
а. Allow + дополнение + to-инфинитив:
b. Allow
+ gerund:
b. Allow
+ герундий:
2. Deserve +
gerund is not very common, but is mainly used with passive constructions or
where there is a passive meaning:
2. Deserve = заслуживать, быть достойным
чего-то. Конструкция Deserve +герундий
встречается нечасто, в основном со страдательным (пассивным) залогом или в страдательном
смысле:
3. The
verbs hate, love, like, prefer are usually followed
by a gerund when the meaning isgeneral, and by a to-infinitive when
they refer to a particular time or situation. You must always use the to-infinitive with
the expressions 'would love to', 'would hate to', etc.
3. После глаголов hate (=ненавидеть) , love(=любить), like(=мне нравится) , prefer(=предпочитать) ставят герундий, если эти глаголы имеют общий смысл. Если же они относятся к конкретному времени и месту, то после них ставят to-инфинитив. После выражениий 'would love to' (= очень хотел бы...), 'would hate to' (= совершенно не хотел бы...) всегда используйте только инфинитив
Compare: Сравните:
B. Verbs where there is a clear difference in meaning:
Глаголы , после которых употребление инфинитива и герундия даёт разный смысл Verbs marked with an asterisk* can also be followed by a that-clause. Напомним, что после глаголов, помеченных *, может также идти that-придаточное (придаточное в сложносочинённом предложении, начинающееся с that)

so, here are the two stories to read, enjoy, analyse to enrich your practical skills and experience
A CUP OF COFFEE ON A HOT DAY.
The other day I happened to finish work earlier than usual. The weather was charming, so I decided to take a walk. Passing by one of the numerous cafes, it occurred to me that I could do with a cup of coffee and entered “the Golden Bar”, just an ordinary one with not so many customers in it. Several men and women were seated at the tables having their lunch, others were standing at the bar, drinking coffee.
I took a seat at one of the tables and ordered coffee. It was served soon but I was in no hurry and took my time drinking it
By and by the place filled with visitors and soon almost every place was occupied.
Presently I finished my coffee and was almost to leave the bar when it began to rain. I waited a few minutes but the rain didn’t stop. The strange part in it was that there were no clouds in the sky and yet it was raining cats and dogs.
I could not possibly go out as I had no umbrella or water- coat with me-so I changed my mind and ordered a substantial lunch. I noticed that many people did like me, so the waiter had plenty of work to do. The rain was falling with cruel persistence, though the sun was shining brightly. I was through with my meal, finished my cigar and yet the rain would not stop. It was beginning to get on my nerves. I saw it was no use waiting any longer, so prepared for the worst I went out.
I walked a few steps in a hurry and then stopped in surprise. There was no rain .In fact there had been no rain! What did I see, may you ask? Just a few yards from the front door of the bar there was an elderly woman comfortably seated on a chair, holding a nose and watering the pavement in front of the bar.
A clever dog , that barman was!
Once upon a sunny morning a man who sat in the kitchen looked up to see a white unicorn with a golden horn quietly eating the roses in the garden. The man went up to the bed-room where his wife was still asleep and woke her.
“There’s a unicorn in the garden”, he said. “Eating roses”.
She open one unfriendly eye and looked at him.
“The unicorn is a mythical beast”, she said, and turned her back at him. The man walked slowly downstairs out into the garden. The unicorn was still there; he was eating slowly the tulips. ”Here, unicorn,” said the man, pulled up a lily to him. The unicorn ate it seriously. With great happiness because there was a unicorn in his garden, the man went upstairs to his wife again. ”The unicorn,” he said, ate a lily.”
His wife sat up in bed and looked at him, coldly. ”You are a booby,” she said,” and I am going to have you put in the booby-hatch”.
The man who had never liked the word “booby”, especially on a shining morning when there was a unicorn in his garden thought for a moment: ”We’ll see about that” and walked to the garden to watch the unicorn. But the unicorn had gone away. The man sat down among the roses and went to sleep.
As soon as the husband had gone out of the house, the wife telephoned the police and the psychiatrist to hurry up and bring a strait-jacket. When they arrived, the wife said, “My husband saw a unicorn in the garden this morning. He told me it ate a lily. He told me it had a horn in the middle of the fore-head”. The police looked at the psychiatrist and the psychiat-rist looked at the police. The next moment the husband came in “Well, the unicorn is a mythical beast”/ he said. The police and the psychiatrist took the wife away, all screaming to an institu-tion. The husband lived happily ever after.

McQuillan walked into a bar
and ordered martini after martini, each time removing the olives and placing
them in a jar. When the jar was filled with olives and all the drinks
consumed, he started to leave.
"S'cuse me," said a customer, who was puzzled over what McQuillan had done. "What was that all about?" "Nothing," he replied, "my wife just sent me out for a jar of olives." |
Like the warmth of the sun
And the light of the day, May the luck of the Irish shine bright on your way.
May the good saints
protect you
And bless you today And may troubles ignore you Each step of the way |
A cop pulls up Barty and
Joey-Jim, both the worse for drink, and says to the first,
"What's your name and address?" "I'm Barty O'Day, of no fixed address." The cop turns to the second drunk, and asks the same question. "I'm Joey-Jim O'Flaherty, and I live in the flat above Barty." |
May good luck be your friend
In whatever you do And may trouble be always A stranger to you. |
Lucky stars above you,
Sunshine on your way, Many friends to love you, Joy in work and play-
Laughter to outweigh each care, In your heart a song- And gladness waiting
everywhere All your whole life long!
|
|
Ireland It’s the one place
on earth That Heaven has kissed With melody, mirth And meadow and mist.
|
|
May the lilt of Irish
laughter Lighten every load, May the mist of Irish magic Shorten every road,
May you taste the sweetest pleasures That fortune ere bestowed, And may all
your friends remember. All the
favors you are owed.
|
May you always have these
blessings A soft breeze when summer comes- A warm fireside in winter- And
always- the warm, soft smile of a friend.
|
|
May the roads rise to meet
you. May the wind be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; The
rain fall soft upon your fields And, until we meet again, May God hold you in
the palm of His hand.
A GAELIC BLESSING |
|
May you have all the
happiness And luck that life can hold- And at the end of your rainbows May
you find a pot of gold.
|
|
May your troubles be less
And your blessing be more And nothing but happiness Come through your door
| |
The Harp that once through
Tara’s hills The soul of music shed, Now hangs as mute on Tara’s walls As if
that soul were fled So sleep the pride of former days, So Glory’s thrill is
o’er- And the hearts that once Beat high for praise Now feel that pulse no
more.
|
|
Whenever there is happiness
Hope you’ll be there too, Wherever there are friendly smiles Hope they’ll
smile on you, Whenever there is sunshine, Hope it shine especially For you to
make each day for you As bright as it can be.

As you might know, Th-Day in the USA is famous for its traditional elements of celebration: a football match on TV, a lovely family reunion dinner(pumpkin pie and pudding included), th-day cards and fancy -ball parties at schools, and... Macy Parade in New York. Still, one can hardly imagine Thanksgiving without the traditional Speech, piloted at the WHITE HOUSE (generally by US President). Here is an episode to listen to Barak Obama greeting the nation.

“My girl friend”
First she gave up
smoking
Then she gave up gin
Then she gave up
chocolate cake.
She wanted to be
thin.
Then she gave up
breakfast
Then she gave up
lunch
On lazy Sunday
morning
She even gave up
brunch.
No matter what she
gave up,
Her skirts were very
tight.
‘cause she ate twelve
cans of tuna fish
For dinner every night.

Hello, dear!
Missing your English
classes while on holidays?
Here is a set of poetry to learn some grammar
with a
pinch of salt and a spoonful of
humour.
Here we go:
*MY BOY FRIEND
Well. He eats like a
pig,
He can’t get enough.
He works like a dog,
He looks real tough.
He smokes like a
chimney-4 packs a day.
He sleeps like a
log-what else can I say?
He drinks like a
fish- scotch-on-the-rock.
When he gets real mad
He hardly talks.
He cries like a baby
When he’s feeling
sad.
But he’s the dearest
friend
I’ve ever had.

Hi everybody,
Are you still interested in motivating your learning English? Here is an episode/ or two / just to support our actual topics: Teens and Food, Teens and Money.
Mind some useful phrases and idioms to enrich Ur vocabulary and to sound very topical ( I'd say to "show-off" with Ur English):
* you are what you eat
*skip breakfast=avoid eating early in the morning
*to become sullen and withdrawn (because of poor eating)
* an ideal body image (look like a model in a glossy magazine)
"burn calories" but- "lose weight"
a recipe of happiness in terms of healthy food ( health benefits, low in calories, sugary drinks,
three money categories: bank account, credit card, saving up,
* to quarrel with Ur money,
* waste not, want not (proverb)
*lend/borrow money
* in for a penny, in for a pound (proverb)....
There is still so much to be learned...
Best wishes,...

Hello again,
Some of you admitted the other day that they find difficulty learning and recognising the meaning of such things as "ing-forms" (gerund, in particular). well, try to remember the universal notes and signs at the airport or railway station, on the bus, or in the park. They read:
* No parking!
**No smoking!
*** No crossing!
**** No talking (in class), stop thinking(get down to work) and suchlike.
Watch an episode from "My Best Friend's Wedding" (intro) and you'll feel the grammar patten better ( wishing and hoping, planning and dreaming...)
