Предисловие

Дорогие читатели,

Я рада представить вам это учебное пособие по английскому языку, разработанное специально для учащихся средней и старшей школы. Цель данной книги – помочь школьникам эффективно развивать навыки чтения, обогащать словарный запас и учиться понимать тексты на английском языке в реальных, жизненных ситуациях.

Каждая глава книги посвящена конкретной теме, близкой подросткам: повседневная жизнь, школа, здоровье, путешествия, культурный обмен и многие другие. Особое внимание уделено лексике и устойчивым выражениям, которые регулярно повторяются в текстах и упражнениях. Это позволяет учащимся постепенно закреплять новые слова и фразы, а также научиться использовать их в речи и письме.

Работа с пособием предполагает последовательное освоение материала: сначала изучение новых слов и выражений в разделе Word Power, затем чтение текстов, где лексика используется в контексте, а также выполнение заданий на понимание и анализ. Разделы Check Your Understanding и Build Your Vocabulary помогают школьникам проверять понимание текста, развивать критическое мышление и самостоятельно расширять словарный запас.

Я рекомендую работать с этой книгой систематически: читать тексты, выполнять упражнения письменно, обсуждать темы с одноклассниками или преподавателем. Такое сочетание чтения, анализа и практики способствует развитию уверенности в английском языке, навыков самостоятельного обучения и критического мышления.

Желаю успехов!

Reading Text

Every day, my routine is quite simple but important. I wake up at 7 a.m., even on weekends. The first thing I do is wash my face and brush my teeth. After that, I get ready for school, which usually takes about twenty minutes. I choose my clothes, pack my bag, and make sure I have everything I need.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so I always have breakfast before leaving home. Sometimes I eat cereal and fruit, other times eggs and toast. While I eat, I like to listen to music or check the news on my phone.

School starts at 8:30 a.m., so I leave home at 8. During the day, I study, attend lessons, and spend time with my friends. After school, I usually go to a club or play sports to stay active.

In the evening, I have dinner with my family. We talk about our day, share stories, and sometimes watch TV together. After finishing homework and some free time, I prepare for bed. I usually go to bed at 10 p.m., feeling tired but satisfied with my day.

This routine helps me stay organized, healthy, and ready for new challenges every day. Following a routine may seem boring to some people, but I find it very useful and calming.

Besides lessons, students often take part in school activities. There are many clubs and sports teams, from music and drama to football and chess. Taking part in these activities helps students develop new skills and make friends.

After school, many students do homework to complete assignments or revise what they learned during the day. Homework may sometimes feel difficult or boring, but it is important for learning and improving.

School is also a place to make friends. Students spend a lot of time together, and friendship makes school life more enjoyable. Friends help each other, share ideas, and have fun during breaks and activities.

Some days are very busy, but students learn to manage their time and responsibilities. School life teaches not only subjects but also teamwork, discipline, and independence. Following a routine and staying involved in lessons and activities helps students succeed and feel confident.

Being healthy is very important for teenagers. To feel good and have energy, students need to exercise regularly. Sports like running, swimming, football, and basketball are great ways to stay active. Exercise helps the body grow strong, improves mood, and reduces stress.

Another key to good health is to eat healthy. Teenagers should eat a variety of foods, including fruits, vegetables, grains, and proteins. Eating healthy provides energy for school, sports, and other activities. Eating too much fast food or sweets can make students feel tired and weak.

Sleep is also essential. Teenagers should get enough sleep every night. Sleep helps the brain and body recover, improves memory, and allows students to focus better at school. Without enough sleep, it is harder to study, play sports, and stay active.

Finally, it is important to stay active during the day. Walking, cycling, or playing outside keeps the body moving. Staying active is not only good for the body but also for mental health.

A healthy lifestyle combines exercise, healthy eating, enough sleep, and regular activity. Following these habits helps students feel strong, happy, and ready for school and life challenges.
