Task1. Read the text about Charles Dickens. Answer the questions True ( T ) False ( F ) Charles Dickens was a very popular and talented English novelist of the Victorian Era. He was born in 1812 in a poor English family. Charles had many brothers and sisters but he preferred reading to playing with children. His father had many books so young Dickens learned to read very early and spent most of his time reading them.
When Charles was 10 years old, his family moved to London where his father got into debt. Soon his father was put into prison that’s why Charles had to start working. He worked at a small factory in London, pasting labels on bottles. The boy had to work in dreadful conditions for 2 years.
Then Dickens managed to go to school for some time, however he didn’t learn much there. He liked studying at home by his own or with the help of his father. Later Charles worked as a clerk in a lawyer’s office and at the age of 25 he wrote his first sketch which was soon published by a magazine. Then the magazine published nine other sketches all of which had a great success. The sketches became Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club.
Since then Charles Dickens devoted himself entirely to literature. He wrote such famous novels as Oliver Twist, Dombey and Son, David Copperfield and Great Expectations. All of his books are interesting and humourous even if they often describe the hard life of poor people.
Charles Dickens died in 1870. He was one of the greatest English novelists whose books are still read all over the world.
XXI век можно считать переломным в плане использования технологий, так как в нынешнее время ни один современный человек не может обойтись без гаджетов
Чем больше мы становимся зависимыми от гаджетов, тем больше мы утрачиваем к стратегическому мышлению, просчету многоходовых комбинаций. Новое поколение, не мыслящее жизни без современных технологий, не переносит одиночества и старается восполнить недостаток общения гаджетами, постепенно вытесняя живое общение и заменяя его виртуальным

Gadgets are becoming extremely popular these days. They can be really handy in many ways like helping in studying, searching for information, chatting online or just killing your time when bored. So their popularity sounds reasonable, if you look at it from this point. But on the other hand they take so many person's time offering almost any services you can imagine that those who can't control themselves might loose connection with the reality beeing stuck in the digital world. They also can affect your sight in a negative way and lower your social skills. So are gadgets actually that good as we usually see them?
Сейчас гаджеты набирают всё большую популярность. Они могут быть полезны во многих вещах, как учёбы, поиск информации, общение онлайн да и просто чтобы убить время когда становится скучно. Так что, смотря с этой стороны, их популярность вполне разумна. С другой же, они забирают настолько много времени, предлагая почти любые услуги, какие только можно представить, что люди, не имеющие контроля над собой, могут потерять связь с реальностью, будучи запертыми в цифровом мире. Они также могут негативно влиять на зрение и уменьшать социальные навыки человека. Так на самом ли деле гаджеты такие хорошие какими мы обычно их видим?
