Текст к этому заданию -Imagine standing alone on an open plain under a clear blue sky. A grass ocean stretches for miles as far as the eye can see and there is not another person in sight. This is the stunning view of the most recognisable landscape of Kazakhstan - the steppe. The Kazakh steppe covers almost 804,500 square kilometres and makes up one third of the country. One of the most extreme environments in the world, this wild, harsh grassland has no natural shelter from the strong winds and bitter cold that come from the north. Temperatures in the winter drop to a freezing -35° C and in the summer it can get as hot as 35º C. Despite the difficult climate, the steppe is a treasure of agricultural products and natural resources. From meat, milk, grain and vegetables to the raw materials for industry such as coal, zinc and lead, it provides everything necessary for Kazakhstan's cities. The steppe is also the habitat of a lot of different unique species of wildlife, from the steppe pika to the critically endangered Saiga antelope. The steppe winds even bring fresh clean air that clears away the pollution in the cities. The steppe is the birthplace of Kazakh culture. The difficulties people faced throughout the years living on the steppe and adapting to its environment and temperatures shaped their deep respect for nature. But like a lot of places in the world, the steppe now faces the challenge of climate change. However, the importance of the steppe to their identity continues to inspire the Kazakhs to preserve it for future generations.
Every day Tim wakes up at five thirty when his alarm clock rings. He gets up and then goes to the bathroom and has a long, hot shower. After that he makes breakfast for him and his wife, Betty. Tim has coffee and two slices of toast and Betty drinks a cup of tea and eats a bowl of cornflakes. At six o'clock Tim brushes his teeth, always before he gets dressed because it is very important that he doesn't get toothpaste on his clothes - Tim is a train driver and he wears a uniform! Finally, he kisses his wife and baby son and leaves his house in Watford at a quarter after six.
Tim starts work at seven o'clock and drives trains on the London Underground. He usually works in the mornings from Monday to Friday, but he sometimes works on the weekends too. At noon he stops work for half an hour to have his lunch. He eats cheese and tomato sandwiches which Betty makes for him, and drinks a bottle of milk. After lunch he works until four o'clock and then he goes home. In the evening he plays with his baby son, Ben, and watches TV with Betty. At ten thirty they all go to bed because they are very tired - and because they get up so early in the morning!
The cult novel "Crime and Punishment" introduces us, first of all, to the black side of St. Petersburg. These are black staircases with traces of slops, and courtyards-wells, which are more like gas chambers - all this is shown against the background of peeling walls, indicating that the city is stifling and fetid. It is emphasized that in St. Petersburg one cannot always be healthy, strong and cheerful. The city crushes and even strangles to some extent. It is Petersburg, as shown in the novel, that it is an accomplice in malevolent crimes, theories and ideas that are more reminiscent of delirium than common sense. It is Petersburg that reflects human tragedies and nightmares.
Dostoevsky directed special attention not only to a banal description of the squalid rooms of houses, but also directed the reader's thought to symbolic colors and smells. There are explanations for this. For example, the author marked diseases, squalor of life, poverty in yellow. In the novel, you can see the yellow furniture and wallpaper in the house of the old woman-usurer; yellow face of Marmeladov from regular drunkenness; Raskolnikov's yellow “chest-like or cupboard-like” room; the houses of Petersburg are yellow-gray; Sonya Marmeladova went “on the yellow ticket”; the suicidal woman had a yellow, dry face; Sonya's wallpaper in the room is yellowish; yellow furniture fills Porfiry Petrovich's office; on the ring of Peter Luzhin you can see a yellow stone.
