The Shores
Scientists have found indubitable evidence that in the Early Middle Ages no single archaeological culture existed on the contemporary territory of Kemerovo Oblast. It was part of a historical area that, in its origin, is closely connected with the population of today's Tomsk and Novosibirsk Oblasts. However, the fate of the Kuzbass Turks is intertwined with the fate of the Ugro-Samodian people living in the middle reaches of the Ob and Irtysh rivers, in South Ural and along the Kama river.

Education in
Siberia
There are 1,053 institutions
of general education in Kemerovo Oblast attended by nearly 313, 000
children. Currently, Kuzbass can offer
children quite a wide variety of schools and curricula so that they can make their
own choices. About 16% of schoolchildren study in specialized schools
('lyceum', 'gymnasia') and innovative schools and classes specializing in some
particular disciplines.
Kemerovo Oblast is one of the first
regions in Russia that started introducing the health component into education.
There are already sixty-seven health improvement centres for schoolchildren in
Kuzbass. In 2005 Governor Aman Tuleyev has launched a regional targeted program
'Education and Health'.
Many educational institutions in Kuzbass
are developing and introducing innovative teaching methods and curricula.
Perhaps, this is the reason why over 100, 000 schoolchildren in the Oblast have
but excellent grades. Every year about 150 children finish school with honours
and are awarded gold medals. Over 800 schoolchildren take part in annual
regional competitions in various disciplines showing their first research
skills. For a few years now gifted children have been receiving targeted
assistance (scholarships and grants) under the program 'Kuzbass is Proud of
You'.
The educational system of Kemerovo Oblast
is comprehensive and versatile. It covers children of all age groups and takes
in account their individual needs. The system includes nearly 1000 pre-school
institutions accommodating over eighty thousand children. There are also 166
centres of optional education in Kuzbass offering children various activities
in such areas as technology, ecology and biology, tourism, sports and arts. The
regional festival 'Young Stars of Kuzbass' has discovered the whole galaxy of
gifted children. Thirty centres of children's art have been awarded 'The Model
Children's Centre' title.
The system of vocational education
includes over 100 technical schools and colleges training specialists for the
national economy, education and health, culture, construction and other
sectors. Ten state educational institutions provide higher education. In
addition to them, there are sixty-five branches of other Russian Universities
and institutes in Kuzbass. In recent 3 years, Kuzbass universities have
introduced over 40 new specialities.
The core objectives of the educational
policy in Kuzbass are the accessibility of high-quality education and a social
support to the teaching staff and students.
The educational institutions of Kemerovo Oblast employ about 70,000 people. The teaching staff in Kuzbass is highly competent and qualified. Every fifth teacher is a teacher of the highest rank. Over 2,000 teachers working in colleges and universities have PhD degrees.

TEXT 2 CHILDREN OF NATURE
The forefathers of the
Shors were pagans and shamen. The ancient belief in spirits, the worshiping of
animals, the ancestors cult and witchcraft made them real children of nature.
They were helpless against the forces of nature although clever and experienced
in their own way. Their moon calendar was a great achievement using which they
were able to make amazingly accurate weather forecasts. 
The Shors worshiped the hill from where
the water ran and on which his yurta stood. Moreover the hill was considered as
a living being and had its character, sometimes capricious, sometimes angry and
revengeful.
The worshiping was done by the
kam-shamen, using several tambourines. This noisy and extremely emotional
ritual not only captured imagination but it also called the gods, ensured their
help, and cherished the beliefs of people in a happy future. Due to this ritual
the Shors became aware of the fact that the soul was connected with a string to
the god who created the soul.
Everyday wisdom and experience of the
forest people could be seen in everything. Their skills were then passed on to
subsequent generations. The Shor hunters would never shoot a sleeping animal,
it had to be woken. Making clay crockery the Shors would add wool to make it
strong. Fishing nets were made of horse hair, which was never caught by the
frost in winter. Hunting was available only to men. Women were strictly
forbidden to hunt. This was a tabu: the one who gives birth must not kill. If a
Shor died in winter, he would be wrapped into a birch bark and hung to a tree
deep in the taiga. This was done not because of barbarism, but for the reason
of “deep snows”. The winter would “step away” and allow the man to be buried.
The local people were turned into
Christianity at the same time as the Kuznetsk city was founded. It was done
slowly, without haste. The Russian missionaries kept the old principle: “by
care not brutality”. According to the tsar’ decree, in 1858 near the river
Kondoma the so-called Altai mission (church) was established. Turning into Christianity was beneficial to
the Shors. Gradually families with several wives disappeared, “kalim” ransom
was no longer demanded for the daughter to be married, and the girls were no
longer sold to grown up husbands.
The Christian missionaries considered
the study of the folk customs to be very efficient in learning the secrets of
the pagan aborigines, their religious reception of the world. They were the
first who used the opportunity to record the folk customs. But their “kondoba
people’s” stories were never published, never reached the contemporary time.
The Shors didn’t have the written
language, one of the reasons why the people’s oral inspirations were well
developed, passing their roots deep into centuries. Among these were songs,
legends, fairy tales, stories about warriors and their heroic deeds, sayings.
The research works by V.V. Radlov, V.I. Verbitsky, N.P. Direnkova contributed
greatly to the preservation of the Shor folklore.
b) Choose the right answer:
1. The moon calendar
was a great achievement because
a) it helped the local tribes to worship
animals.
b) was created by children of nature.
c) helped the local tribes survive in severe
winters and hot summers.
2. The worshiping
ritual was extremely emotional because
a) it was done by sharmen.
b) it inspired the idea of the unity with
gods.
c) it was done with tambourines.
3. The dead bodies of

a) of their barbarism.
b) of the climate.
c) they lived in the taiga.
4. The local tribes
were turned into Christianity because
a) Kuznetsk city was founded.
b) they didn’t want to pay “kalim” ransom.

government.

a) of the research works by V.V. Radlov,

with the fate of the Ugro-Samodian people living in the middle reaches of the
Ob and Irtysh rivers, in South Ural and along the Kama river.
1. Fill in the articles
where necessary:
1.One of … biggest indigenous ethnic communities in … Kuzbass is …
Shors.
2. They speak … Turkic language and live in … south of … Kuzbass, in…
area that at … beginning of … 20th century was called … Gornaya Shoria
('Mountain Shoria'). 3.Various groups of Shors' ancestors, in their time, were
called after … place where they lived (the Black Tatars, the Mras - living
along the Mras-Su river, the Kondoms - along … Kondoma river, or the Uppertom -
along the Upper Tom river) or after their kin (Obins, Shors, Kalars and
Kargins).
The fist national
eco-museum in the south of Siberia, 'Sgol', is established in a taiga village
of Ust-Anzas. It is a base for the Shor Centre of Ethnic and Ecological
Studies.
There is a Museum of
Ethnography and Nature of Gornaya Shoria in Tashtagol City holding unique
expositions regarding the traditional culture of Shors and Old Russians.
According to the 2002
Census, there are 11 500 Shors in Kemerovo Oblast, of which over 40 % live in
Tashtagol City and around.
The second largest
Turkic-speaking community after the Shors is the Teleuts living in Belovo and
Novokuznetsk areas. Like the Shors, the Teleuts are considered northern people though they have always
inhabited the Southern Siberian steppes and the Altai foothills. Until
recently, the Teleuts were officially considered an
ethnographic group of
Southern Altais, but then were recognized as an independent ethnic group.
The Teleut ethnic
history goes back as far as many ages ago. The Teleuts descend partially from
the local Turks who lived near the Tom river in Kuznetsk Basin and partially
from the medieval cattle-breeders
'Tele'.
One can learn about
the Teleut way of life and culture in an eco-museum 'Cholkoy' in the village of
Bekovo in Belovo Raion.
According to the 2002
Census, there are 2500 Teleuts in Kemerovo Oblast, two thirds of which are
concentrated in Belovo City and around.
There is still a small
number of the Kalmaks living in some villages of Yurga and Yashkino rural
areas. They descend from a small group of the Teleuts. Close conjugal or
religious ties between the Kalmaks and the Kazan and the Siberian Tatars led to
the formation of an ethno-territorial group of the Iskitim Tatar-Kalmaks. The
Tatars, in their turn, both Siberian and Kazan Tatars, live in Prokopievsk,
Kemerovo, Novokuznetsk, Anzhero-Sudzhensk, Yurga and other cities in Kuzbass.
Under the agreement
between Kemerovo Oblast Administration and the Government of Tatarstan Republic
on the economic, scientific, social and cultural co-operation, many schools and
libraries in the areas with high concentration of Tatars have received books
and textbooks in the Tatar language. Quite traditional in Kuzbass are
celebrations of Tatar national holidays and different folk events.
According to the 2002
Census, there are 51 000 Tatars and only 21 Siberian Tatars residing in
Kemerovo Oblast.
1.
Fill in the verbs in proper forms:
1.Kemerovo Oblast …(to be) currently implementing a programme 'The
Priority Measures of Supporting Indigenous Peoples of Kuzbass'. 2. Kemerovo

language. 4. An increasing number of indigenous people… (enter) technical
colleges and universities. 5. Today, over 10% of Shors and Teleuts … (have)

The indigenous peoples
make a lot of effort to preserve their customs, traditions, culture and
language. Some of their representatives are famous all over Kuzbass and Russia:
the founder of Shor literature F. Chispiyakov, the author of the Teleut
Dictionary L. Ryumina, the members of the Russian Writers Union L. Chulzhanova,
V. Boriskin and S. Totysh, the Shor poets S. Torbokov and N. Belchegeshev, the

Kuzbass
Kuzbass, which is formally known as the Kuznetsk Coal
Basin (the Kuznetsk), lies in the south of Western Siberia,
namely in the Kemerovo region. It covers the area of 100,000
square kilometers. It borders on the Altai territory the south- west, on the Novosibirsk region
in the west, on the Tomsk region in the north, on the Krasnoyarsk territory in
the east
Kuzbass is one of the oldest and largest
industrial complexes in Siberia. Kuzbass occupies the territory of the Kuznetskaya Lowland. It is surrounded by mountain chains
on the west, on the east and on the south. These mountain chains, like
walls, defend our region from dry, southwest winds.
They influence the weather of this territory. The climate in Kuzbass is
continental. We have four seasons of the year, but winter lasts 5 months
here, it begins in November and ends in March.
Summer is short and rather hot. July is the hottest month of the year. The
temperature is sometimes 25°-35°
above zero. It's a big contrast with low winter temperatures, which are sometimes 30-40' below zero. This contrast
influences badly the people's health.
There is hardly a territory in Siberia where so much
interesting mountains arrangement can be found. It is united
with the West Siberian Lowland just only on the north. Its total area is about
30.000 square kilometers.
The biggest river on
the territory is the Tom. It flows into the Ob. Its length is over 839 kilometers . The Tom and its tributaries supply fresh water
practically for every city in Kuzbass. There are also some
other big and little rivers in Kuzbass ,for example , the Kondoma, the Mras-Su, the Kia, the
Aba but most of them are polluted because Kuzbass is an industrial zone and the ecological
situation is poor.
Metallurgical, coal - mining, machine - building
industries are highly - developed here. There are many forests in
Kuzbass. 1/7 of wood in Russia is produced here in Kuzbass. There are a lot of
kinds of trees. The forests are concentrated in Gornaya
Shoria, Kuznetsky Alatau and Salair. They cover all Kuznetskaya
Lowland. The foliage trees are concentrated in the lowlands. The coniferous forests
are situated in the highlands. The pine-trees, fir-trees can be found there. A
lot of animals such as bears, wolves, foxes, elks live in
them.
Now Kuzbass is one of the largest developed industrial
regions. It is known as one of the Russian and (in some branches)
world's largest producers and exporters of coal, steel, iron ore and other mineral
resources. No wonder, there are a lot of plants, factories and mines. That's why Kuzbass is said
to be a region of coal miners and metal workers. There are some large cities
and small towns in Kuzbass. The largest city with the population of 600,000
people is Novokuznetsk. Kemerovo is less than Novokuznetsk but it's a
regional center. Mezhdurechensk is situated in the most beautiful place
of Kuzbass. It’s a small town but it is famous for its coalmines. Tashtagol is
the capital of Gornaya Shoria where the aborigines of
Kuzbass live. Kiselevsk, Belovo, Leninsk-Kuznetsky, earlier
had well - developed coal- mining industry, now they are degrading. The
ecological situation in Kuzbass is very poor. Kuzbass is called
«the zone of ecological disasters». It is an industrial region and
its enterprises throw thousands of tons of different wastes. The air, water,
soil here is polluted. We all hope for the better future, we hope that Kuzbass
with its great potential and resources will become one of the richest and best
regions in Russia.

Dostoyevsky
Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky was a Russian
novelist, short story writer and essayist. He began writing in his 20s, and his
first novel, Poor Folk, was published in 1846 when he was 25; his major works
include Crime and Punishment (1866), The Idiot (1869), and The Brothers
Karamazov (1880). 1) … , his output consists of eleven novels, three novellas,
seventeen short novels and numerous other works. Many literary critics rate him
as one of the greatest and most prominent psychologists in world literature.
Born in Moscow in 1821, Dostoyevsky was introduced to
literature at an early age through fairy tales and legends, and through books
by Russian and foreign authors. His mother died in 1837, when he was 15, and
around the same time he left school to enter the Nikolayev Military Engineering
Institute. 2) … graduating, he worked as an engineer and briefly enjoyed a
lavish lifestyle, translating books to earn extra money. In the mid-1840s he
wrote his first novel, Poor Folk, which gained him entry into St. Petersburg's
literary circles.
In 1849 he was arrested for his involvement with the
Petrashevsky Circle, a secret society of liberal utopians that also functioned
as a literary discussion group. He and other members were condemned to death,
but at the last moment, a note from Tsar Nicholas I was delivered to the scene
of the firing squad, commuting the sentence to four years' hard labour in
Siberia. His seizures, which may have started in 1839, increased in frequency
there, and he was diagnosed with epilepsy. 3) …., he was forced to serve as a
soldier, before being discharged on grounds of ill health.
4)… , Dostoyevsky worked as a journalist, publishing
and editing several magazines of his own and, later, A Writer's Diary, a
collection of his writings. He began to travel around western Europe and
developed a gambling addiction, which led to financial hardship. For a time, he
had to beg for money, but he eventually became one of the most widely read and
highly regarded Russian writers. His books have been translated into more than
170 languages and have sold around 15 million copies. 5)…. , Dostoyevsky
influenced a multitude of writers, from Anton Chekhov and James Joyce to Ernest
Hemingway and Jean-Paul Sartre.

Dostoyevsky and
Siberia.
Most observers have agreed that the years Dostoyevsky
spent in Siberian imprisonment were beneficial to his development as a man,
writer and thinker, transforming him into a serious and confident artist. What
Dostoyevsky gained in prison - a remarkable tragic vision - he later injected
into the novels he started writing soon after returning to civilization:
''Crime and Punishment,'' ''The Possessed,'' ''The Idiot'' and ''The Brothers
Karamazov.''
One of the most famous
places that still keep the spirit of the legendary writer is the F.M.Dostoevsky Literary-Memorial Museum in
Novokuznetsk.
1)…. Dostoevsky spent little more than twenty
days in Kuznetsk, a small provincial town in the province of Tomsk, located 530
kilometers from Semipalatinsk. On February 6, 1857, Fyodor Mikhailovich
Dostoevsky and Maria Dmitrievna Isaeva were married in the Odigitrievsk Church.
Their two-year love affair, complete with drama and suffering, culminated in
marriage. Dostoevsky left Kuznetsk in a new position - in one day he had become
a husband and a father. By marrying Maria, Dostoevsky had also taken on the
responsibility of her six-year-old son Pavel (from her first marriage to
Alexander Isaev). 2)…. since he had left his parents' home, Dostoevsky had a
family. It seemed to him that now he would never be lonely. 3) … the Siberian
cities where Dostoevsky had spent time, Kuznetsk was the only one marked by joy
and a sense of true freedom. Here Dostoevsky had decided his own fate.
Dostoevsky wrote nothing
about Kuznetsk. The small, unremarkable city left no concrete imprint on his
memory: it was significant and attractive for the writer only because his
beloved lived there. 4) …all his hopes for their future life together were
connected with Kuznetsk itself.
|
5) … , on May
18, 1980, the F.M.Dostoevsky Literary-Memorial Museum opened in Novokuznetsk
(as Kuznetsk has come to be called). Located at 40 Dostoevsky St., the
residence where from 1855-57 Maria Isaeva had rented lodgings from the tailor
M.D.Dmitriev, the museum was originally an affiliate of the Museum of Regional
Studies. On March 1, 1991, it received the status of an independent cultural
institution, as well as an additional building across from the historical site.
The Kuznetsk events of Dostoevsky's life form the basis for the literary
exhibit here. Its designers devised a tri-part presentation of the writer's
life, his creative process, and his philosophy. The Museum's exhibit, by
breaking away from mundane notions of time, shows the writer's "Kuznetsk
collision" in its timeless, eternal significance.

along
with
Yevgeni Grishkovetz is one of the most famous Siberian
people of modern time. He is a popular writer, dramatist, stage director,
and actor. 1) …….he was a sailor. 2) ……… he is called “a one man theatre”,
and “a one man band”: he is widely known as the author of witty
plays, which he stages and performs himself. For a surprisingly short
period (just about three or four years) Grishkovetz managed to rise
from a provincial film director known only in close theatre circles to a
crowd-puller praised by mass media and distinguished by juries of the
most prestigious awards.
Grishkovetz has made nearly a cult figure of
our time, a sort of a mouthpiece of modern Russian intelligentsia.
He speaks about things which are quite clear and kindred to those who still can
refer themselves to this almost extinct class. It is quite
understandable why Grishkovetz as a story teller is so minimal and primitive in
style. 3) …….. his writings seem to be intended for children, or rather,
look like school compositions: in simple words and simple sentences, with lots
of repetitions.
Yevgeni Valerievich Grishkovetz was born on February
17, 1967 in Kemerovo. In 1984 he entered the Philology Faculty of Kemerovo
State University and graduated only in 1994 as in between the university
studies Yevgeni found himself serving in the Pacific Navy - the
experience lasting for three years. 4) ……… demobilization he returned to the
university, where he played in the students’ theatre of pantomime
and took part in various theatre festivals. In 1990 Grishkovetz founded the
independent theatre “Lozha”
(translated as ‘theatre-box’) that staged ten play productions within seven
years of its existence. In 1998 Grishkovets moved to Kaliningrad city.
November 1988, when his play How I Have Eaten a Dog was performed for seventeen viewers in the
smoking room of the Russian Army Theatre in Moscow, became the turning point
in life of Grishkovetz: the doors to the capital audience opened wide.
Grishkovetz has staged authorial plays OdnovrEmEnno (Simultaneously), Planeta (The planet), Osada (The Siege), Titanic, po Po and
published a number of his books: collected plays Gorod (City) (2001), Kak ya
syel sobaku (How I have eaten a dog) (2003), the novel Rubashka (A Shirt) (2004), the story Reki (Rivers) (2005), and collected stories Planka (2006).
5) ……. his
success in literature and theatre Grishkovetz has shown his talent as a
narrator by recording two albums of his own texts recited to the
accompaniment of the Bigoudi band.
The albums were titled Seichas (Now)
(2003) and Pet’ (To Sing) (2004).
Grishkovets comments on this creation as follows: “I am not good at singing. More than that, I do not sing at all. I like
the way others sing, and I wish I could sing myself, but both of the albums with
Bigoudi reproduce a non-singing man’s voice, just the one which
can set at ease thousands of people who want to sing but will never be able to
sing”.This versatile actor has
6) …… played some supporting
roles in a number of remarkable Russian films, such as The Stroll, Not by Bread Alone, and The First Circle.
Grishkovetz lives in Kaliningrad and tours a lot with his theatre productions which have become classical within just a few years. He tours both in Russia and in Europe where he has turned into a welcome guest at many prestigious festivals. When taking the stage Yevgeni Grishkovetz always thanks the audience: “Thank you for having bought the tickets. You pay the money I live on”.

Writers and Poets of Siberia
1)… that Russia is one of the most beautiful countries
in the world. The nature of Russia has always been an inspiration for a lot of
gifted people. Among them there are, of course, our poets and writers. When we
think about Russian poets and writers, we always link them to either Moscow or
Saint Petersburg. But the land that has probably the most interesting connection with the world of
literature is, of course, Siberia.
2)…, Siberia has been the motherland of poets and
writers for quite a bit of time. Even though a lot of them were actually sent to Siberia as prisoners, they still
found the land to be unique and inspiring. 3) … , one of the most famous
Russian authors, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, was sent to Omsk for four years. Most
observers have agreed that the years Dostoyevsky spent in Siberian imprisonment
were beneficial to his development as a man, writer and thinker, transforming
him into a serious and confident artist.
4) … , when Siberia stopped being a prison rather than
a beautiful land, more and more authors from this region gained popularity. A
lot of Siberian authors created their best and most piercing poems during the
Great Patriotic War. Boris Bogatkov, Evgeni Bereznitsky, Georgy Doronin,
Konstantin Bryansky, Vladimir Chugunov and many other Siberian poets are famous
for their war poems. \
5) … Siberian authors have a lot of opportunities to
publish their works due to rapid development of the Internet and Siberian
media. The authors from Kuzbass, for example, even have their own Union.
Members of the union often organize a lot of festivals for both adults and
children. Moreover, there are at least two Literary Studios in Kuzbass – “Az”
and “Svoi Golos”. These studios help young poets and writers become more professional
and inspired. These studios were organized by such experienced and talented poets as Boris Burmistrov, Alexander
Ibragimov and Iosif Kuralov.
6)… , the future of Siberian literature seems to have
a great potential. More and more authors become popular, including the youngest
ones. The vast and beautiful Land of Siberia has always been a source of
inspiration for many creative people, and the history of Siberian literature
will be continued with the younger generation of great poets and writers.

here's a story for our future class "A virtual library"
Task 2 Read the text and add information to
your tables:
A virtual
library is a digital space that keeps and organizes virtual books and their
associated documents. It also can refer to a space where the books can be read.
These spaces can include computers, mobile devices and the Internet. Some
virtual libraries can be accessed for free, and others require subscriptions.
An
advantage of using a virtual library is that it is able to store many books in
a small amount of space. Physical books can take up a lot of space. By using a
digital library, readers can access their entire personal libraries in one
location, on either a computer or a mobile device. The need for physical books
diminishes by using a virtual library, so digital libraries also have the
benefit of helping to conserve paper resources.
The term
"virtual library" also can be used to refer to a collection of books
that are readily available to be read on the Internet. These books often can be
read for free and are available under public domain. Any users who find a book
under one of these circumstances can read it and use it within the terms set
forth by the organization providing the books. They must also follow any laws
connected to reading the book.
In the same
way, virtual libraries can exist within book subscription services. Some
institutions, such as colleges and universities, can provide access to a
virtual library. Libraries can have content licenses in place, so patrons might
have to authenticate themselves through the use of accounts set up through the
library before they can access these materials, however.
Although a
virtual library can be, hypothetically, used without the need for the world
wide web, the Internet is often tied to digital libraries. Certain websites
offer users the ability to catalog and organize their digital libraries. They
can also provide users with suggestions for new books to read, based on the
content of their libraries, can give them the opportunity to connect with other
users who share the same tastes. Some websites can implement community-based
features, such as those that enable users to participate in virtual book clubs
and read peer reviews of books.
Some mobile
devices offer their owners the ability to purchase and download books directly onto their devices. These books
can be organized by means of a virtual bookshelf, which can come bundled with
the program used to purchase the book. When a user wants to read a book that
has been purchased, he or she can simply access the program's interface and choose
the book from a virtual bookshelf.

Use the Internet.
Additional
information:
Definitions
What is a
virtual library? The term has been defined by many different people in many
different ways. It is a library in which the holdings are found in electronic
stacks. It is a library that exists, without any regard to a physical space or
location. It is a technological way to bring together the resources of various
libraries and information services, both internal and external, all in one
place, so users can find what they need quickly and easily.
When they
work, virtual libraries can be very useful and very diverse in what they
contain. The options for what they can include are virtually endless, and
become more and more boundless as technology advances. Some of the content of a
virtual library may include, but certainly is not limited to, CD-ROM, Internet
subscriptions, lists of annotated web links, internal work products (such as brief
banks), proprietary databases (such as LexisNexis or Westlaw) and even web
spiders or push technology that deliver targeted research to the user.
Advantages
As you can
probably already tell, there are many advantages to going virtual. Some
of the advantages include the following:
- It saves and/or reduces the
physical space taken up by library materials.
- The library materials are
available at the user's desktop, regardless of where the user is
physically located.
- It allows for the inclusion of
materials only available on the Internet or in digital format.
- It provides the user with the
capability to download and manipulate text.
- It eliminates the problem of a
book being missing or off the shelf.
- It is less labor intensive.
BUT it
takes a lot more time from a librarian, and/or possibly someone in the IT
department, to learn how to install, maintain and use the product.
Disadvantages
For now,
the disadvantages include the following:
- Every product has its own
distinct user interface.
- Users need to remember different
passwords for different products.
- The scope of coverage and
available archives is often limited.
- There are often difficulties
with downloading or printing.
- Often there is no cost savings,
especially when both the virtual and print products are maintained.
- Everything is NOT available in
digital format.
- The virtual library relies on
power and computer networks in order to be available for use.
- Users can't spread everything
out in front of them and use it all at once.
- Users are most comfortable using books.
October 9Here's a new story to read and comprehend---LIBRARIES
Libraries
- What is a library?
Task I.
Read the text about libraries and answer the questions after it:
The Word
library comes from the Latin word ‘liber’, meaning ‘book’. This is a place
where information in printed (book, manuscripts, periodicals and musical
scores) and in other forms is collected. Libraries can be found in many places.
There are libraries in small towns and large cities and there are libraries at
schools, universities, colleges. People go to the library to read, look,
listen, search, inquire, relax, discuss, learn and think.
The largest
and the best known libraries in the world are: the British National library in
London, the Library of Congress in Washington and The Russian State Library.
The British Library is the largest state library in Britain and is one of the
finest libraries in the world. It is a rapidly growing modern research library
with all its current publications. People who want to read for higher degrees
and who are engaged in research in their spare time visit this library. Another
library which is known throughout the world is the Library of Congress in
Washington D.C. It was established as a reference library in 1600 and gradually
would come a world famous institution that now occupies three huge buildings.
the British Library (London)
the Russian State Library (Moscow)
A great number
of items of books, newspapers, periodicals, manuscripts, films, maps and works
of drama, music, art and important and exciting documents are kept in library’s
archives. There are materials on practically every subject.
Of
course there is a catalogue of books. The titles and authors of all the books
in the library can be found in a card catalogue or a computer listing. Each
card in catalogue gives very helpful information about the book. Most libraries
have a professional staff whose first duty is to help you.
Librarians
also select books and other materials, organize materials so that you can
easily use them, answer questions about facts, people, events, or advise you
how to find the information you need. The library today is a center for all
kinds of communication: printed, pictured, recorded and even electronically
stored.
The

dear friends,
there are some photos of the city and a model how to describe them. just follow it.
and here's a sample to help in describing pictures
·
I took this
photo during my winter holidays when
we went to the ski resort in the Caucasus. After the Winter Olympic Games 2014,
Sochi attracts lots of tourists both from Russia and from around the world.
·
In the foreground
of the picture you can see two
children: a boy and a girl. They came here from Novosibirsk. They told me that
they had started to ski when they were only three years old, that's why they
look very confident on the snowy mountain slopes. The children are wearing bright ski
suits made of special fabrics that protect them from cold and at the same time
are very light that helps them move quickly. They also have all the necessary
skiing equipment for this kind of sport such as alpine skis, plastic boots with
special bindings, helmets, ski poles and goggle mounts.
·
In the background
of the picture you can see mountain
peaks covered with snow and some kind of pines. You can't see the mountains
quite well from behind the clouds but it is a common phenomenon in this
area.
·
At the very
particular moment the children
are learning a new downhill technique. And now they stopped for a while to take
breath. Sometimes I saw them landing in a fall but they went to square one
again and again. They didn't give up, so I should admit that they have got
strong willpower. As you can see they look very healthy and happy. I believe
that it's very useful to take up to sport from childhood. This will teach you
to overcome difficulties in life, will teach you to win or to lose.
·
I took this photo
because we made friends with the family from Novosibirsk
and their cute kids and I want to remember the beautiful moments of my
vacation.
·
I decided to show
you this photo because I want you
to appreciate these two young sportsmen and the beauty of the Caucasus Mountains.
That
is all I wanted to say.

Task 5 Read Ann’s letter about her native city. Compare her native city with the place where you live, answer her questions, write 100-120 words. Don’t forget the rules of letter writing.
Dear Lisa,
…. I’d like to tell you about the city where I live. I was born in Novokuznetsk and I love it very much. It is a big city in southwest Siberia. It stands on the river Tom. It is a long and wide river, which flows through many towns and cities of our region. I live in the center of the city. This part of the city is modern and very beautiful. There is the circus and the Museum of Fine Arts there. I like walking along the streets of the city with my friends or parents.
People call Novokuznetsk “a garden city”. My native city is a beautiful place and it is very important for me. What is your native city like? Where can you entertain yourself? Where do you like to go in your free time?
Love,
Ann
