Draw a timetable of activities for holidaymakers according to the text
Good morning everyone. My name’s Ethan and I’d like to tell you about the different activities on offer on board this fantastic cruise ship.
First of all, there are lots of sports facilities. There’s the swimming pool on deck 3. I’m sure you’ve seen it already. Near there, there is a hot tub, sauna and steam room. You can use the pool and hot tub between seven in the morning and eleven in the evening. The sauna is available from one in the afternoon until nine in the evening. You don’t have to book or pay extra to use any of these facilities.
There’s a gym on deck 4, and you can go there whenever you like. No need to book. It’s open from 6 am until 10 pm. There are also four squash courts. You can book these at the desk in the gym.
If you’re not sporty, there are lots of other interesting things to do. If you’d like to learn to paint, there is an art class every morning at ten o’clock, which lasts two hours. There’s a cooking class every afternoon at three. There’s a different theme every day. Today it’s Indian cooking, and tomorrow it’s Italian cooking. You don’t have to book for these classes, just arrive. But there is a maximum number of people in the class, so make sure you arrive early, or there may not be enough space for you.
In the evening we have lots of entertainment on offer. There’s a show every night in the theatre. Tonight there’s a jazz band, and tomorrow night there’s a comedy show. These shows are all free, but you need to get a ticket from the ticket office at the theatre. In the afternoons, you can hear lectures about the different places we visit on the cruise. Today, there’s a lecture about the wildlife of North Africa. This is at two o’clock and four o’clock, in the theatre. It’s the same lecture both times. Tomorrow’s lecture, which is at the same two times, is about the Roman Empire in North Africa.
So, that’s all for now. On Wednesday, I’ll tell you about the different activities happening later in the week. Until then, I hope you have a great time.

Hi, (Имя друга)
How are you? We will celebrate the New Year soon and so I want to tell you about our traditional family dish.
Olivier salad is a traditional salad dish in Russian cuisine. It is also very popular in other European countries.Traditionally it is made with diced boiled potatoes, carrots, pickles, green peas, boiled eggs, onions,and diced boiled chicken (or, sometimes, ham). The salad is dressed with mayonnaise.
The original version of the salad was invented in the 1860s by a Belgian chef, Lucien Olivier. At that time he worked in Hermitage, one of Moscow’s most celebrated restaurants. The salad very quickly became a specialty dish which everyone wanted to try.
The exact recipe, particularly that of the dressing, was kept a secret. Today’s popular version of Olivier salad only faintly resembles Olivier’s original creation. It is known as a version of Ivanov’s "Stolichny salad".
