A good night's sleep
Host: At exam time it is important to sleep well. Today we have Doctor Baker with us in the studio and he is
going to give us five top tips for getting a good night’s sleep. Welcome to the show, Doctor Baker.
Dr Baker: Thank you. It’s great to be here. Let’s start with tip one. Don’t go to bed with the television on. Some people think they can sleep well with the TV on, but the noise and lights mean you don’t really sleep well, so turn it off!
Tip two: Don’t think too much before bedtime. Do your hardest homework earlier in the evening. Do easier homework later. If your brain is too busy and full of ideas it takes longer to get to sleep.
Tip three: Don’t play video games for an hour before you go to sleep. They also make your brain too busy and active.
Tip four: Turn off your cell phone when you go to bed. What is so important that it can’t wait until the morning? If possible, leave your phone in another room.
Tip five: Play music if you like. But don’t play it too loud. Turn the sound down low.
Host: Thank you, Doctor. That is very useful advice for our young listeners.

There are many Islands on the Volga river. Why is this Island my favorite place? Well, I like it because there are no people. It is very quiet and green. There are some sea-gulls there. What do we do there? We have picnics, play badminton, swim a lot. We go by boat early in the morning, and come late in the evening. We enjoy our picnic very much.
Мое любимое место это не город. Это небольшой остров на реке Волга. Я езжу туда с моей семьей летом.
На реке Волга есть много островов. Почему этот остров мое любимое место? Ну, мне нравится потому что здесь нет людей. Тут очень тихо и зелено. Здесь есть несколько чаек. Что мы делаем там? Мы устраиваем пикники, игрем в бадминтон, много плаваем. Мы едем на лодке рано утром и приезжаем поздно вечером. Мы очень наслаждаемся нашим пикником.
Secondly, it is the global warming as well as the environmental pollution. Every day the climate of the planet is changing more and more, reserves of fresh water are depleted, the environment is being polluted. All this is the result of human's activities, and if we continue to do this, the death of humanity within a few generations is inevitable.
Poverty, famine and homelessness are the causes of death for many years. To date, the number of people suffering from hunger and malnutrition has reached 1 billion people. It creates a serious threat to the international security.
The last thing I would like to say is about endangered species of animals and plants. Their habitats are being destroyed. This is due to global warming, logging, fire, mining. To sum up, it is necessary to make conclusions about the global problems of extinction of organisms.
