Task 2
You are going to take part in a telephone survey. You have to answer the six questions. Give full answers to the questions. Remember that you have 40 seconds to answer each question.
Electronic assistant: Hello! It’s the electronic assistant of the Dolphin Sports Club. We kindly ask you to take part in our survey. We need to find out how people feel about doing sports in our region. Please answer six questions. The survey is anonymous – you don’t have to give your name. So, let’s get started.
Electronic assistant: How old are you?
Student: I am 16 years old.
Electronic assistant: Do you do your morning exercises regularly? Why, or why not?
Electronic assistant: Why more and more people starting to do sport?
Student: I think that people do more sports because they have realized that it’s absolutely necessary nowadays. A lot of people have jobs where they have to spend all their time in an office, sitting in a chair and in front of a computer. In some cases this physical inactivity can cause different medical problems.
Electronic assistant: What would you recommend to a teenager to help them stay fit and healthy?
Electronic assistant: This is the end of the survey. Thank you very much for your cooperation.
What Kind Of Person Do You Want To Be?
The hardest thing for me to write about is happiness. Not because it eludes me, but because it is so many different things to so many people.
For some, happiness is a state that we never speak of but naturally yearn for. “Ask yourself if you are happy,” John Stuart Mill said, “and you cease to be so.” For others, it is a north star — the guiding principle of every decision we make in life.
For the majority of us, though, it seems to be the elusive feeling that’s always just over the hill. Maybe if I get this house, be with that person, get this promotion, or go to that school, I will finally be happy.
I used to think along these lines, but it ended up making me deeply unsatisfied with life. Ironically, not making ‘happiness’ the goal has led me to be happier than I’ve ever been.
Is happiness the answer?
The central lie of Western life is that success leads to happiness.
Worse, to be unhappy, we are told, is to be broken. Something is wrong if we aren’t happy, we need to ‘fix’ ourselves, get back to the ‘correct’ path. But the ancient Greeks knew too well that in order to understand happiness we need to understand suffering.
More importantly, the ancients viewed happiness in a different light to the way we seem to understand it today. For Aristotle, true happiness is achieved by cultivating eudaimonia, which scholars translate as the notion of ‘flourishing.’
Happiness, Aristotle believed, is not a state but a habit. Eudaimonia is not a goal but a way of living that could, and often did, involve suffering.
Related to this idea is the Chinese notion of yin and yang — the ebb and flow of nature corresponding to the volatile temperaments of our human nature.
In our pursuit of happiness we have become restless and unsatisfied, a civilization addicted to dopamine and drugs that too often only fuel our discontent.
Shifting perspective
I don’t think happiness is the meaning of life. More valuable than being happy is being fulfilled.
Today we are bombarded with more information than ever before. We look down at our screens for the fleeting pleasure incurred from the added ‘like’ or ‘follow’. We look around us for inspiration, but in response we are told we are not pretty enough, smart enough, or successful enough.
Fulfillment is the ability to find peace of mind with one’s existence. So I ask myself each day, What kind of person do I want to be? How shall I live my life?
Joseph B. Soloveitchik, in his book, The Lonely Man of Faith, provides an answer.
He outlines two characters, Adam 1 and Adam 2. Adam 1 is worldly, ambitious and hungry. He asks how things work, and his motto is success.
Adam 2 is humble, understated and giving. He asks why we are here, and his motto is love, redemption, and return.
Neither is the ‘correct’ path. But their goals give us an idea of which one the wise Greeks would have chosen.
Adam 1 seeks happiness through success; Adam 2 cultivates an inverse logic:
But there is little harm in worldly ambition steered by a moral compass. The trick is consider what it is we truly value.
Our friend Aristotle said there are 4 levels to happiness:
I can’t help but believe that for us to shake our modern discontent, we must collectively move from happiness in material pleasures to fulfillment through giving and purpose. We choose to be a society dependent on material pleasures. It doesn’t have to be that way.
Small change, big difference
There’s no modus operandi for life, but one place to start when looking for inspiration is with those we look up to.
We might seek fulfillment through the pursuit of reason and knowledge, stirred by the beauty of learning. “Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth,” said Henry David Thoreau, and the search for truth is a noble mission.
Or perhaps it is a deeper appreciation of those around us, our friends and family, that adds true meaning to our lives. The writer David Brooks describes what he calls a ‘galaxy of warm places:’ reading a good book, playing the piano, cooking dinner with friends, admiring an artwork — those physical spaces in life that coalesce with a spiritual space of peace, and joy.
And when fate comes around to deal us a bad hand, we are better prepared to get back up, and grow as a result. “Out of suffering comes a depth of character,” writes Brooks.
Or, finally, we could embrace the collective wisdom of each of these ideas. A profound appreciation of the present, seeking value in what we have rather than what we lack, and cultivating our own galaxy of warm places.
“Life on this earth, with all its mystery and beauty and pain, is then to be lived far more intensely: we stumble and get up, we are sad, confident, insecure, feel loneliness and joy and love. There is nothing more; but I want nothing more.” — Christopher Hitchens
We could do worse than to heed these words.

6a. Reading & Vocabulary — Чтение и словарь
3. Read the texts and match the each text (A-G) with its heading (1-8). You can only use each heading once. There is one extra heading. — Прочитайте тексты и сопоставьте каждый текст (А-G) с заголовками (1-8). Вы можете использовать каждый заголовок только один раз. Есть лишний заголовок.
4. Make a list of all the animals mentioned in the text. Spend three minutes adding as many animals as you can.

cats, dogs, horses, sheep, goats, chickens, ducks, llama, pony, guinea pig

6. Complete the gaps with the verbs below in the correct form. — Заполните пробелы глаголами, данными ниже, в корректной форме.

7. Imagine you work at an animal shelter. Use the information in the texts to persuade your partner to join you at the shelter. — Представьте, что вы работаете в приюте для животных. Используйте информацию из текстов, чтобы уговорить вашего партнера присоединиться к работе в приюте.
Возможный ответ: К сожалению, задание сформулировано не очень понятно. Предполагаем, что нужно составить монолог с различными аргументами и примерами в пользу работы волонтером в приюте для животных. Хотя мы понимаем, что любой разумный человек при выборе любой работы добровольцем будет руководствоваться лишь собственными понятиями о социальной ответственности и моральном выборе, а никак не описаниями того, как хорошо бесплатно работать, мы постараемся сделать убедительный монолог.
Listen, I’m not trying to persuade you that volunteering at a shelter is the work of your dreams. I know that volunteering means working without adequate payment and you may consider me a fool who does it. But it was my own choice. I understand that helping out in the community is necessary as the breath of one’s nostrils. My work makes our life better and I can proud of it. As for my suggestion, you can volunteer to work there after school. If you love animals you’ll be happy to help shelter’s staff members feed, clean and train animals. You get to work with a lot of different kinds of animals. I even fed a llama once. I think volunteering at the animals shelter is extremely interesting and useful work. I’ve already known far more about animals than at school. I know it is all worth it. Think about it and let me know.
Слушай, я не пытаюсь убедить тебя, что волонтерство в приюте — это работа твоей мечты. Я знаю, что работа волонтера подразумевает работу без адекватной оплаты, и ты можешь считать меня дураком, раз я этим занимаюсь. Но это был мой собственный выбор. Я понимаю, что помощь обществу необходима как воздух. Моя работа делает нашу жизнь лучше, и я могу гордиться этим. Что касается моего предложения, ты можешь добровольно работать там после школы. Если ты любишь животных, ты будешь рад помочь сотрудникам приюта кормить, чистить и тренировать животных. Тебе придется работать со множеством различных видов животных. Однажды я даже кормил ламу. Думаю, волонтерство в приюте для животных — чрезвычайно интересная и полезная работа. Я уже узнал о животных гораздо больше, чем в школе. Я знаю, что это того стоит. Подумай и дай мне знать.
8. Imagine you have just started doing some volunteer work after school. Write an email to your English pen friend persuading him/her to do some volunteer work too. Say: what kind of volunteering you are doing, when & how often, what kind of jobs you do, why you think your friend should join you (60-80 words). — Представьте, что вы только что начали работать волонтером после школы. Напишите емейл своему англоговорящему другу по переписке уговаривая его тоже заняться волонтерством. Расскажите: чем вы занимаетесь, когда и как часто, какую работу вы делаете, почему вы думаете, что ваш друг должен присоединиться к вам (60-80 слов).
Возможный ответ: Мы будем использовать идеи из нашего ответа к упражнению 7.
Hope you’re well. I’m writing just to tell you about my after school volunteer work. Don’t worry, I’m not trying to persuade you that volunteering is the work of your dreams. I know that volunteering means working without adequate payment and you may consider me a fool who does it. But it was my own choice. I understand that helping out in the community is necessary as the breath of one’s nostrils. My work makes our life better and I can proud of it.
So, I’ve just started doing some volunteer work after school. I volunteer at the local animals shelter twice a week after school. I never thought that it may be so interesting and useful. I love animals and I’m happy to help shelter’s staff members feed, clean and train animals. I get to work with a lot of different kinds of animals. I even fed a llama once. I’ve already known far more about animals than at school.
What do you think about it? Do you want to come with me to the shelter next time. I’m sure you’ll be impressed.
That’s all for now. Write me soon.
Your friend, Dan
Надеюсь, у тебя все хорошо. Я пишу тебе, чтобы рассказать о моей работе волонтёром после школы. Не волнуйся, я не пытаюсь убедить тебя, что волонтерство — это работа твоей мечты. Я знаю, что работа волонтера подразумевает работу без адекватной оплаты, и ты можешь считать меня дураком, который делает это. Но это был мой собственный выбор. Я понимаю, что помощь обществу необходима как воздух. Моя работа делает нашу жизнь лучше и я могу гордиться ею.
Таким образом, я только что начал заниматься волонтерской работой после школы. Я работаю волонтером в местном приюте для животных дважды в неделю после школы. Я никогда не думал, что это может быть так интересно и полезно. Я люблю животных и рад помочь персоналу приюта кормить, чистить и тренировать животных. Мне приходится работать со множеством различных животных. Однажды я даже кормил ламу. Я уже узнал о животных гораздо больше, чем в школе.
Что ты думаешь об этом? Хочешь пойти со мной в приют в следующий раз? Уверен, ты будешь впечатлен.
