Task 1 Read the text. My name is Luke. My favourite hobby is photography. When I have time I take my camera and take lots of pictures. I photograph the world around me. I take photos when I’m at my grandparents’. They live in the country, near the forest and have a big garden. It’s an ideal place for me. I get up in the morning and go to the garden or the forest. Sometimes I encounter some animals. I try to take a picture of them. At home, my Dad helps me to chose the best photos. I send them to magazines. I won a photo competition once. I’ve got a beautiful album called “wonders of the World”. Dad says we are going to our grandparents’ for the weekend. I can’t wait! I will be able to take lots and lots of photos.
I also like both computer games and board games. We have one computer at home but sometimes Dad brings home his laptop and we can play a network game.
My favourite computer games are strategy, sport and adventure games. I got my first computer two or three years ago and my first game was FIFA 2003. This is a game where you play different football teams. It was great. My favourite adventure game is Broken Sword III. As for strategy games, I like Command Conquer best.
Sometimes I have enough of my computers. But I have my board games. I can play Monopoly or Scrabble with Dad or Mum. I also have Trivia quizzes or the Millionaire. These re my favourite games that have cards with lots of questions about sport, people and the world around us. They are great!
When I’m outside with my friends we also play certain games. Not the silly games for little children, like hide-and-seek or piggy-in-the middle, but more serious things. We play pirates, who fight with each other to get the treasure or the Lord of Ring – I like to be Aragon best. And of course there is nothing better than good game of football played with your friends!

Храм Василия Блаженного.
Храм Василия Блаженного — самая красивая церковь во всей России. Считается, что людей, которые ее создали лишили зрения, а постройку не позволил снести сам Сталин. Во время войны храм прятали от обстрелов. Верхний ярус собора напоминает лабиринт, а основание — восьмиконечную звезду. Мы собрали все самое важное о храме, по которому иностранцы безошибочно опознают Россию.
Это культовая постройка времена Ивана Грозного, по которой до сих пор любой иностранец узнает Москву. Это — самый узнаваемый русский храм. Мало кто знает его истинное название — Собор Покрова Богородицы.
