Как празднуют Новый год.... в США

За месяц до Нового года улицы Нью-Йорка, Лас-Вегаса, Лос-Анджелеса, Майами зажигаются праздничными огнями.

В Нью-Йорке на Таймс-сквере происходит традиционный торжественный спуск знаменитого Шара, сверкающего тысячами неоновых лампочек.

Главное место празднования Нового года в Нью-Йорке – площадь Таймс-Сквер. Она расположена в центральной части Манхэттена. Здесь в новогоднюю ночь собирается около 1 млн человек. Новогоднюю трансляцию с Таймс-Сквер будут смотреть в прямом эфире телезрители со всего мира.

По традиции, еще с 1907 года здесь с небоскреба спускается большой хрустальный шар Waterford Crystal, который касается земли ровно в полночь. Это символизирует начало Нового года. Он сверкает более 16 млн цветных узоров и миллиардами разноцветных капель. В небе в полночь будут сверкать фейерверки. А в воздух сверху выпустят ровно тонну разноцветных конфетти.

На площади Рокфеллер-Плаза в Нью-Йорке стоит самая высокая главная ель в США. Высота американской лесной красавицы составляет 22,5 м, а её вес – около 12 тонн.

Американцы — нация, которая едва ли не больше всех получает и дарит подарков в рождественский сезон. Их складывают под елку в течение всей праздничной недели, в ночь Рождества дети получают сюрпризы и от Санта-Клауса. Ребятня оставляет ему под елкой различные лакомства, на случай, если дедушка будет голоден. Дети получают подарки утром. Им говорят, что ночью приходил Санта-Клаус, он спустился по дымоходу и принес подарки. В небольших городах Америки принято ходить друг к другу в гости и всем вместе распевать рождественские песни.

Дом Санта Клауса стоит на аллее Святого Николая на Аляске; он полон сувениров, рождественских украшений и игрушек. При въезде в город виден окрашенный, словно леденец в красный и белый цвета, столб, с надписью «North Pole», и огромная 12-метровая статуя Санты

Happy New Year!

О некоторых словах

VM — Sun, 22 Sep 2013 09:51:50 GMT

An ombudsman

An ombudsman is someone who investigates complaints made by people against the government or any public organization. He is an independent official who represents the common man in his fight against the government.

• All complaints must be made in writing to the banking ombudsman by three this afternoon.

The word is Swedish in origins and it means representative or agent. I understand that the word was borrowed into English in the 1960s. The word is being slowly replaced by ombudsperson.

Magazine
The word magazine has several different meaning. A publication containing articles, ads, stories and photo graphs that comes out on a regular basis is called a magazine.
The part of the gun which contains the bullets is also called a magazine.
How did this word acquire such different meaning?
According to scholars, the word magazine, the original magazine was a place where grain and other goods were stored. I guess this explains why the part of the gun which contains the bullets is called a magazine – it is a storehouse for the ammunition. Did you know that before the 19th century even ordinary books were called magazine? Afterall books are storehouse of knowledge, aren’t they? It was only in the 19th century that the word magazine began to refer to periodicals.

Magazine and Journal

When first used, the word journal referred to a daily publication which gave an account of the events that happened the previous day. It was like a newspaper. Nowadays, the word is used to refer to any publication that is brought out at regular intervals.
For example, a journal can be a monthly, quarterly etc. The articles contained in a journal can be a monthly, quarterly, etc. The articles contained in a journal are usually scholarly serious in nature and deal with a specialized area. For example, we have the journal of linguistics, journal of writing, etc.
A Magazine on the other hand doesn’t limit itself to one area. It deals with various subjects – politics, entertainment and sports. Since the articles are about sports and since the articles are meant for the general public, they are much shorter and are usually accompanied by photographs. Outlook, Frontline, and Sport star are all magazines, not journals. And like the journal, they too are brought out at regular intervals.

An Article About Thomas Edison

VM — Tue, 29 Jan 2013 08:21:18 GMT

"Thomas Edison" from Voice of America.

Welcome to the VOA Special English program, PEOPLE IN AMERICA. Today, Sarah Long and Bob Doughty tell about the inventor Thomas Alva Edison. He had a major effect on the lives of people around the world. Thomas Edison is remembered most for the electric light, his phonograph and his work with motion pictures.

(MUSIC)

Thomas Edison’s major inventions were designed and built in the last years of the eighteen hundreds. However, most of them had their greatest effect in the twentieth century. His inventions made possible the progress of technology.

It is extremely difficult to find anyone living today who has not been affected in some way by Thomas Edison. Most people on Earth have seen some kind of motion picture or heard some kind of sound recording. And almost everyone has at least seen an electric light.

These are only three of the many devices Thomas Edison invented or helped to improve. People living in this century have had easier and more enjoyable lives because of his inventions.

Thomas Alva Edison was born on February eleventh, eighteen forty-seven in the small town of Milan, Ohio. He was the youngest of seven children.

Thomas Edison was self-taught. He went to school for only three months. His teacher thought he could not learn because he had a mental problem. But young Tom Edison could learn. He learned from books and he experimented.

At the age of ten, he built his own chemical laboratory. He experimented with chemicals and electricity. He built a telegraph machine and quickly learned to send and receive telegraph messages. At the time, sending electric signals over wires was the fastest method of sending information long distances. At the age of sixteen, he went to work as a telegraph operator.

He later worked in many different places. He continued to experiment with electricity. When he was twenty-one, he sent the United States government the documents needed to request the legal protection for his first invention. The government gave him his first patent on an electric device he called an Electrographic Vote Recorder. It used electricity to count votes in an election.

In the summer months of eighteen sixty-nine, the Western Union Telegraph Company asked Thomas Edison to improve a device that was used to send financial information. It was called a stock printer. Mr. Edison very quickly made great improvements in the device. The company paid him forty thousand dollars for his effort. That was a lot of money for the time.

This large amount of money permitted Mr. Edison to start his own company. He announced that the company would improve existing telegraph devices and work on new inventions.

Mr. Edison told friends that his new company would invent a minor device every ten days and produce what he called a "big trick” about every six months. He also proposed that his company would make inventions to order. He said that if someone needed a device to do some kind of work, just ask and it would be invented.

Within a few weeks Thomas Edison and his employees were working on more than forty different projects. They were either new inventions or would lead to improvements in other devices. Very quickly he was asking the United States government for patents to protect more than one hundred devices or inventions each year. He was an extremely busy man. But then Thomas Edison was always very busy.

He almost never slept more than four or five hours a night. He usually worked eighteen hours each day because he enjoyed what he was doing. He believed no one really needed much sleep. He once said that anyone could learn to go without sleep.

(MUSIC)

Thomas Edison did not enjoy taking to reporters. He thought it was a waste of time. However, he did talk to a reporter in nineteen seventeen. He was seventy years old at the time and still working on new devices and inventions.

The reporter asked Mr. Edison which of his many inventions he enjoyed the most. He answered quickly, the phonograph. He said the phonograph was really the most interesting. He also said it took longer to develop a machine to reproduce sound than any other of his inventions.

Thomas Edison told the reporter that he had listened to many thousands of recordings. He especially liked music by Brahms, Verdi and Beethoven. He also liked popular music.

Many of the recordings that Thomas Edison listened to in nineteen seventeen can still be enjoyed today. His invention makes it possible for people around the world to enjoy the same recorded sound.

The reporter also asked Thomas Edison what was the hardest invention to develop. He answered quickly again -- the electric light. He said that it was the most difficult and the most important.

Before the electric light was invented, light was provided in most homes and buildings by oil or natural gas. Both caused many fires each year. Neither one produced much light.

Mr. Edison had seen a huge and powerful electric light. He believed that a smaller electric light would be extremely useful.He and his employees began work on the electric light.

An electric light passes electricity through material called a filament or wire. The electricity makes the filament burn and produce light. Thomas Edison and his employees worked for many months to find the right material to act as the filament.

Time after time a new filament would produce light for a few moments and then burn up. At last Mr. Edison found that a carbon fiber produced light and lasted a long time without burning up. The electric light worked.

At first, people thought the electric light was extremely interesting but had no value. Homes and businesses did not have electricity. There was no need for it.

Mr. Edison started a company that provided electricity for electric lights for a small price each month. The small company grew slowly at first. Then it expanded rapidly. His company was the beginning of the electric power industry.

Thomas Edison also was responsible for the very beginnings of the movie industry. While he did not invent the idea of the motion picture, he greatly improved the process. He also invented the modern motion picture film.

When motion pictures first were shown in the late eighteen hundreds, people came to see movies of almost anything -- a ship, people walking on the street, new automobiles. But in time, these moving pictures were no longer interesting.

In nineteen-oh-three, an employee of Thomas Edison’s motion picture company produced a movie with a story. It was called "The Great Train Robbery.” It told a simple story of a group of western criminals who steal money from a train. Later they are killed by a group of police in a gun fight. The movie was extremely popular. "The Great Train Robbery” started the huge motion picture industry.

(MUSIC)

Thomas Alva Edison is remembered most for the electric light, his phonograph and his work with motion pictures. However, he also invented several devices that greatly improved the telephone. He improved several kinds of machines called generators that produced electricity. He improved batteries that hold electricity. He worked on many different kinds of electric motors including those for electric trains.

Mr. Edison also is remembered for making changes in the invention process. He moved from the Nineteenth Century method of an individual doing the inventing to the Twentieth Century method using a team of researchers.

In nineteen thirteen, a popular magazine at the time called Thomas Edison the most useful man in America. In nineteen twenty-eight, he received a special medal of honor from the Congress of the United States.

Thomas Edison died on January sixth, nineteen thirty-one. In the months before his death he was still working very hard. He had asked the government for legal protection for his last invention. It was patent number one thousand ninety-three.

About Mass Media

VM — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 13:47:16 GMT

Mass Media

Mass media (that is, press, radio and television) play an important role in the life of society. People are united into one global community with the help of mass media. They inform, educate and entertain people. We can learn about what is happening in the world very fast using mass media. They also influence the way people look at the world and make them change their views. Mass media mould public opinion. Millions of people in their spare time watch TV and read newspapers.

The earliest kind of mass media was newspaper. Newspaper is a publication that presents and comments on the news in much detail in comparison to radio and TV newscasts. Newspapers play an important role in informing people of current events, they can cover much more events and news.
There are daily newspapers and weekly newspapers. Daily newspapers print world, national and local news. Many dailies are morning papers, others are afternoon papers. Sunday issues of the dailies are usually larger than the weekday ones. They may include special sections on such topics as entertainment, finance and travel, a guide to TV programmes, colored comics. Weeklies report of weddings, births, deaths and news of local business and politics. Most weeklies do not print world or national news.

Magazine is one of the major mass media. Magazine is a collection of articles and stories. Usually magazines also contain illustrations. Magazines do not focus on daily, rapidly changing events. They provide more profound analysis of events of proceeding week. Magazines are designed to be kept for a longer time so they have cover and binding and are printed on better paper.

The most exciting and entertaining kind of mass media is television. It brings moving pictures and sounds directly to people's homes. Commercial TV stations broadcast mostly entertainment programmes because they must attract larger numbers of viewers in order to sell advertising time at high prices. These programmes include light dramas called situation comedies; action-packed dramas about life of detectives, police officers, lawyers and doctors; shows featuring comedians, dancers and singers; movies; quiz shows; soap operas; cartoons. There are also sport programmes and brief summaries of local, national and international news. Advertising is an important part of TV. Commercials appear between and during most programmes. They urge viewers to buy different kinds of products — from dog food to hair spray, and from cars to insurance policies. Sometimes it’s quite annoying.

Radio is widespread for its portability. It means that radios can easily be carried around. People like listening to the radio on the beach or picnic, while driving a car or just walking down the street. The main kind of radio entertainment is music.
There is a lot of advertisement on mass media. Some of the TV and radio stations and newspapers are owned by different corporations. The owners can advertise whatever they choose. But it is hardly fair to say that mass media do not try to raise cultural level of the people or to develop their artistic taste. Mass media brings to millions of homes not only entertainment and news but also cultural and educational programmes.

About Informal Letters

VM — Sun, 14 Oct 2012 11:15:13 GMT

An informal letter

– to friends and relatives we know well, or to people our own age.

An informal letter should include:

- an informal greeting such as Dear / Hi + person’s name or just Hi!

- An introduction with opening remarks, e.g. How are you? I’m fine but I’ve been really busy , etc. and your reason for writing.

- A main body containing the main point(s) of the letter.

- A conclusion with closing remarks, e.g. That’s all for now. Write back soon.

- An informal ending, e.g. Love from / Lot’s of love / See you soon/ Best wishes/ Yours + your name or just your name.

- Each paragraph should have a topic sentence followed by appropriate supporting sentences.

- Informal letters should be written in an informal style.

That is:

everyday vocabulary (e.g. It’s taken me a while to…), short forms (e.G. I’d, I’ve, there’s), colloqual expressions / idioms (e.g. I thought I’d drop you a line…), - Phrasal verbs (e.g. settle in, getting on).

Old-modern Tales

VM — Sat, 13 Oct 2012 14:36:04 GMT

Очень интересный проект, в котором мы можем поучаствовать.

What to do:

Choose your favorite (or your least favorite) traditional tale from your country.

Think about the characters, the theme, and the supporting details. You might want to reread the story so that you are familiar with all of the elements. Now, rewrite the tale updating the setting. The setting is the time and location in which a story takes place. Use modern times and your town or country as the setting. Include important buildings, sites and physical features from your location in the plot. It might help if you ask yourself "What if…?” questions as you are brainstorming what changes to make to the traditional tale.

For example:

What if Cinderella lived in New York City (population over 8 million people)? How does changing the setting to a large urban area change the other elements of your story? What sites in New York City will you include as key parts of the story? What type of technology and transportation will the characters have access to and use in this setting? Be creative and original—your tale should be all yours and not a copy of a tale that is already published.

Three Little Pigs

Country of origin: USA
Kind of tale: modernized traditional fairy tale
By Stephen G

This story is about the three little pigs and how the Big Bad Wolf just wanted some friends. One day the pigs packed up all their belongings and said goodbye to their mother. "Goodbye,” they all said at once.
"Goodbye,” wept their mother. "I’ll miss you; be careful of the wolves!”
Off they went down the road and to their new property. The youngest pig, Porky, built his house out of straw. The middle pig, Piggy, built her house out sticks. And finally the oldest pig, Bacon, built his house out of bricks. When they were all finished Bacon and Piggy headed over to Porky’s house for a cup of tea and a batch of cookies. "These cookies and the tea are fantastic!” said Piggy. "It’s too bad mother isn’t here.”
A few hours later, right as Piggy and Bacon were leaving, there was a knock at the door. "Who is it?” asked Porky. "My name is Wolfy,” the stranger said. "I am from the outskirts of town, can you help me?”
"It’s a wolf; we have to go to Bacon’s house because it is the strongest,” said Piggy.
So all three pigs headed over to Bacon’s house right as the wolf blew down Porky’s house. "Wait, I have to retrieve some things from my house,” said Piggy. So the pigs stopped by Piggy’s house and she retrieved her things. While they were there the wolf heard them. As they were leaving the house almost collapsed on them. They finally got to Bacon’s house. "Oh no!” shouted Bacon. "I forgot my house key.”
"I can help you,” said the wolf. "I’ll blow down the door but not the house.”
"Really?” asked Bacon. "We thought you were trying to eat us.”
"No, I just want some friends,” said the wolf. "There aren’t any wolves living around here.”
"Okay then blow the door down,” said Bacon.
And so the wolf did, he blew down the door only. All three pigs ran inside, still afraid of the wolf. But Bacon thought this was cruel because the wolf helped them. So he invited the wolf inside for a cup of coffee and they all lived happily ever after.
