Тема: У ресторані (кафе).

Three of the restaurants are real places, but one is invented. Which one do you think isn't real?

DRACULA'S RESTAURANT • Melbourne, Australia

Dinner is different at Dracula's. Start your evening with an interesting cocktail in the Graveyard Bar, then get on the ghost train for the dark, terrifying journey into Dracula's Restaurant. There you can enjoy a four-course meal and a two-hour cabaret, followed by dancing in the Graveyard Disco. Dracula's is great for just two people but also for birthday parties, office parties - even wedding parties. Dress: black is best!

RED SEA STAR RESTAURANT • Éclat, Israel

Do you enjoy eating by the sea? How about under the sea? The Red Sea Star Restaurant lies seven metres under the sea and 35 metres from land, and is surrounded by coral and colourful fish. The restaurant is lovely inside, too, with its strange, flowing windows, and fantastic fishy furniture. This is a wonderful place to have a meal. And the best thing on the menu? The fish, of course.

COLOURS RESTAURANT • London, England

Colours Restaurant has a different colour for each night of the week. Friday is Yellow Night, and all the food is yellow or orange. You might have carrot soup, then fish in a lemon sauce, then a fruit salad. Other things change, too. On Saturday the food is red, and so are the waiters' jackets, the tablecloths and even the flowers. On Wednesdays, everything is blue and purple. So find out the day's colour before you go, as most guests like to choose clothes that go with their meal.

TWINS RESTAURANT • New York, usa

All 80 people who work at Twins Restaurant are identical twins. They work together at the same tables, and they wear the same clothes. The owners are twins, too. Lots of other things here are in pairs: there are double lamps, double mirrors and, of course, double bar stools. You don't have to be a twin to eat here, but if you are, come along together: you can sign our twin guest book, we'll put your photo on the wall - and you get two drinks for the price of one!

Робота над текстом за профілем спрямування: The environment and Homo sapiens

Every species other than Homo sapiens adapts its form and behavior to the Pressures of its environment. Homo sapiens, on the contrary has achieved he remarkable feat of being able to adapt the environment instead, overcoming many natural limitations, through the development of technologies and cultures. If we do not learn to live in harmony with our environment, we shall experience the laws of nature in full force. While nuclear warcould readily kill two billion people, at least as many could die through freezing and starvation.

Environmental degradation is like a cancer, or many forms of cancer, spreading silently, unseen, through the body of our planet. If it were like a heart attack, its effect would be all too apparent, and we would swiftly take steps to remedy the problem. But it isn't answer don't. At the present rate of "progress", and unless something is done quickly, disaster stares us in the face. Erosion, desertification and pollution have become our lot.

10) Our silly behavior causes great damage not only to our planet, but also to ourselves as such. Environmental changes are often the rea­son of many incurable illnesses, mental disorders, and the stress we ex­perience.
