Mount Everest is cited as the highest peak in the world. However K2 (8,616 metres), the second peak in the Karakoram Mountain rang on the borders of China and Pakistan is considered to be the most challenging mountain to summit. Also known as Savage Mountain thanks to numerous failed climbing attempts, it was not until almost 100 years after it was first discovered that anybody managed to reach the summit. Of all the peaks exceeding 8,000 metres, K2 has the second highest fatality rate. On average, one in four climbers die trying to reach the summit.

The K2 peak resembles a Pyramid—a very distinctive profile which presents only very treacherous climbing options. Each slope leading to the summit rises steeply more than 3,000 metres above the glacier base. On the north and steepest side the climbing gradient can reach 73%—an almost vertical wall.

There are a number of different climbing routes on K2, all of which share the same difficulties. Firstly, the extreme high altitude means that there is one third the amount of oxygen available as at sea level. This makes movement slow and exhausting.

Also K2 suffers from extreme storms which can last for several days. These have been the cause of many deaths. The routes to the summit are steep and are very exposed to the natural elements. If thе weather changes suddenly, there is no way of finding shelter and there is no way of turning back.

Most expeditions choose to climb the south east ridge of the peak which rises above the Godwin-Austen glacier. This is known as the Abruzzi Spur, and was first attempted in 1909 by Luigi Amedeo, Duke of the Abruzzi. The spur begins at 5,400 m, and the climb involves crossing snow and ice fields, rock climbing two vertical faces before reaching a corridor of seracs which form an ice cliff. A serac is a big block of ice often the size of a house. Seracs are formed as a result of ice fall and are extremely unstable. Seracs were responsible for the deaths of 11 climbers in an attempt to reach the summit in August 2008.

1. What is K2?
A a series of mountains between Pakistan and China
B the highest mountain in Pakistan
C a steep slope
D a pyramid-shaped mountain

2. Why is K2 also called Savage Mountain?
A It is one of the highest mountains in the world.
B It wasn’t climbed for 100 years after discovery.
C Many climbers are not able to reach the summit.
D Most climbers die climbing it.

3. What does the pyramid shape mean for climbers?
A all access routes to the peak are steep and dangerous
B there are very many climbing options
C there is nowhere to find shelter
D you can only rock climb to get to the top

4. Why does climbing take a long time?
A because the slopes are very steep
B because there is not enough oxygen in the atmosphere
C because of the distance
D because there are always snow storms

5. What do all the climbing routes have in common?
A level of danger and distance
B number of deaths and exposure to the elements
C the same gradient and lack of shelter
D air quality and poor weather conditions

6. Why are seracs so dangerous?
A because they are as/big as houses
B because they are like an ice wall
C because they are unpredictable
D because they are very high up

Текст 1

— Good afternoon, Mrs Cohen. How was your holiday?

— I’ve come to make a complaint, actually.

— Oh! Right. Nothing major, I hope.

— Oh, only enough to spoil our whole holiday.

— Just give me two seconds to get a complaint form. I’ll need it for our records.

— Don’t bother. I’ve made a list that you can have. Firstly, the brochure claimed that the apartments were only two minutes’ walk from the beach. They were one hour more likely! When we finally got there the beach was filthy. It was covered in rubbish. The water… well, I couldn’t let the children near it!

— But you didn’t have to go all that way to the beach. There is a luxury Olympic-size swimming pool in the apartment complex.

— Oh, you’re right! There is! But they haven’t finished tiling it yet. The owner said it would be finished this winter for next season.

— There must be some mistake, madam.

— Oh, no! And that’s not all. The own-suite bathroom didn’t exist. We had to share a bathroom and toilet with two other families!

— That’s disgusting. I do apologize.

— As for the children’s play room, it’s non-existent. There was also no horse riding. And the baby-sitting service was far too expensive.

— I’m so sorry, Mrs Cohen, but this is the first we’ve had such a complaint.

— I’m not finished! To top it all, they’ve constructed a disco just over the road from the apartment block. We couldn’t sleep! It closed at 5 a.m. every morning!

— Well, I want my money back!

— Well, I’m afraid that is impossible, Mrs Cohen. It’s not company policy to refund money as compensation. What we could offer you as you are one of our regular clients is a 20 percent discount on your next holiday.

— All right, I suppose that’s better than nothing. Anyway, we are thinking of visiting my family in Australia this Christmas and a 20 percent discount on that trip would be a large saving.

Текст 2

Second-hand shops have been around for years. They offer a wide range of second-hand or ‘used’ goods. There are second-hand shops that just sell one sort of product, such as bookshops or antiques shops. There are vintage clothing shops where you can find all kinds of unusual clothes and accessories in popular styles from your favourite decade — original 50s rock’n’roll fashion, mini skirts from the 60s or the disco craze and punk rock fashions of the 70s. Whatever your taste may be, you’re sure to find something original. Another kind of second-hand shop is the charity shop. There are some important differences between this and other second­hand stores. Firstly, charity shops are operated by charity groups in order to raise money for worthy causes — they do not exist for the purpose of making money for an owner. Another difference is that charity shops mainly sell goods that have been donated by members of the public. In fact, more than 90% of items sold have been donated. You can donate anything to a charity shop — books, clothes, toys, games, appliances, furniture — the list is endless. Just make sure that what you donate is in good condition. A third difference is that the staff members at charity shops are often volunteers. These volunteers come from all walks of life. Many of them are retired but want to do something useful with their time. Some are students who want to support something they believe in. The items in charity shops are sold at very low prices because these shops don’t have to pay for the goods that they sell, and they don’t have to pay their staff for the work that they do. Of course, there are other costs such as rent, telephone and electricity, but once these are paid, all of the remaining money is used to benefit the charity. What sort of people buy goods at charity shops? All sorts! They’re very popular with pensioners and people on low incomes, that is, people who can’t afford the much higher prices charged for brand new goods in other shops. But that’s not all. Charity shops are also popular with collectors who can sometimes find rare and unusual items for sale. Some lucky collectors have paid peanuts for items that are worth much, much more! Those who want to be fashionable for less head for charity shops in expensive areas, where donations from the wealthy residents include designer clothing and accessories. Then there are the eco-warriors, who are concerned about the environment. They have very good reasons for buying second-hand goods. If you buy secondhand, fewer natural resources need to be used to make and transport new products, and it’s also a great way of recycling.

. This summer I`m going to a sports camp in the mountains with my elder brother and two cousins. Where would you like to spend your summer, if you could choose, and why? What`s special about this place? Who would you choose as your companion, and why?

Write a letter to Robbie.

The 29th of April, 2020

Thank you so much for writing back so soon. I`m happy to get a letter from you again.

Your plan for summer is great. I`d like to spend summer in Mongolia because I`m in love with its nature. This country is special due to friendly people there. I`d choose my dad as my companion because we love spending time together.

You told me that you got a new bike.

What`s the colour of it? What`s the highest speed of your bike? Who gave it to you?

Sadly, I`ve to go to help my sister with her homework. Keep in touch.

Большое спасибо, что ты так быстро ответил. Я счастлива снова получить от тебя письмо.

Твой план на лето просто великолепен. Я хотел бы провести лето в Монголии, потому что я влюблен в ее природу. Эта страна особенная, потому что там живут дружелюбные люди. Я бы выбрала своего отца в качестве компаньона, потому что мы любим проводить время вместе.

Ты сказал мне, что у тебя новый велосипед. А какого он цвета? Какая максимальная скорость у твоего велосипеда? Кто тебе его подарил?

К сожалению, я должна пойти помочь сестре с домашним заданием. Будем на связи.

С наилучшими пожеланиями,
