Cossacks
The word "cossack" means a free and independent man. First Cossacks appeared many
centuries ago in Ukraine. But the biggest glory belongs to Zaporizhian Cossacks. They were very
brave and courageous people who loved freedom very much. Cossacks didn't want to be neither
under the Turkish-Tatar yoke nor under the Polish one. And they didn't like Russian tsars. That's
why they united in a single organization Zaporizhian Sich. The leader was called 'koshovyi
otaman'. The braviest one was Ivan Sirko who won many victories over the Turks and Polish
magnates. The main idea of Zaporizhian Sich was to fight for independence of the native land. It
was Russian Empress Catherine II who ruined Zaporizhian Sich. She didn't want Ukrainian
cossacks to be free and independent people.
Many historians say that Zaporizhian Sich with its structure and rules was a good example
of a democratic state. Due to many legends and songs we remember the names of these national
heroes: Bohdan Khmelnytsky and Petro Doroshenko, Ivan Mazepa and Petro Sahaidachny... Their
names will live in memory and hearts of true Ukrainians.
1. The word "cossack" means a free and independent man.
2. First Cossacks appeared two centuries ago in Ukraine.

READING AND SPEAKING. PAIR WORK
1. Read the most common stereotypes about Ukrainians and match them with the descriptions
from a European expert.
1) Ukrainians are
somewhat
reserved.
A. There is a grain of truth in this. However, the so-called individualism
is nothing but self-esteem.
2) Ukrainians
are individualists.
B. In fact, the majority of the population knows (more or less) this
language, but due to the lack of practice, Ukrainians are just shy of

talking to foreigners. There is a bigger chance of meeting those who
know English in the big cities and among the youth.
3) Ukrainians are
often indifferent.
C. Nowadays, the majority of Ukrainians are good-tempered and open,
and get along with people quickly. Sometimes, even too quickly: some
may call yesterday's stranger their best friend!
4) ) Ukrainians do
not know English.
D. This is true. You will often see a person in Ukraine who looks in the
mirror after returning to the house to pick up something forgotten; or,
who goes out of his way if a black cat crosses the street in front of him.
5) Ukrainians are
superstitious.
E. A popular saying in Ukraine, 'this is not my headache,' creates this
belief. In fact, if they can give a helping hand, Ukrainians never deny
assistance.
2. Foreigners know little about Ukraine and its residents. And this lack of information has given
birth to several stereotypes. In pairs, discuss which of them are true and which are false. Explain
why.
3. You can see these typical images (stereotypes) about Ukraine in pictures and cartoons. What
stereotypes do these pictures show? Say if they are true.

(1900-1961)
A) She was a world famous singer (dramatic soprano). Her
opera repertoire numbered about 60 roles. She combined a

temperament and enormous acting ability. She made her debut
in the Lviv Opera Hose which is now named after her.

B) His strong determination led him to become the first
cosmonaut from Ukraine. Born in 1951, to a family of village
teachers, he was taught to read many books. In one of them he
found some wise Latin words: "It was my ambition - it has
become my fate – do it and you will win." This became his

READING
Read and answer the questions.
Prehistoric Britain
Stonehenge was built after 3000 BC and was the centre of religious, political and economic
power. In the 7th century, the Celts came and they were technically advanced - they had good
weapons and were successful farmers. They were very clean and neat. Many town names have
Celtic origin (Avon, Thames, Landen).
Roman Britain
Britain was a Roman colony for 350 years (43-410). They brought the skills of reading and
writing in Latin to Britain. They also built walls, towns, forts, aquaducts, Roman baths, large
farms, long straight roads for easy travel, brought the calendar, the census (count of all the
people) and many words related to literature, law, religion and education acme into the English
language (school grammar, paradise, encyclopedia critic, prosecute). They built Hadrian's wall
as a protection against the Scots. There was more peace and a better economic life.
Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms
Around 450 Angles, Saxons and Jutes from Germany invaded Britain, after the Romans had
left. The legend of King Arthur says that he fought the Saxons with his Krights of the Round
Table in the early 6th century. He became the king by removing sword Excalibur from a stone.
The Saxons created institutions which made the English state strong for the next 500 years. The
Vikings from Norway and Denmark also invaded Britain but they didn't cause problems to the
locals. Some Viking words: get, give, fake, sky, window.
The Middle Ages
William of Normandy (the Conqueror) was a French king who became the king of Britam in
1066 and the ruling class spoke French until the 13th century. A plague (the Black Death) in the
14th century killed millions of people. Feudalism started, which meant that the king gave the
land to people who needed to give him goods and serve him. With “Magna Carta” the king
promised the right to a fair and legal trial. Both rich and poor married mainly for financial
reasons and the church taught that women should obey their husbands. The English language

has lots of words that come from French (parliament, prince, mail, judge, terrace, beef, blue,
lemon, cinema).
Tudor Renaissance
Tudor kings and queens created peace and national self-confidence. While Henry VIII was the
king, Britain stopped being a Catholic country and became Protestant, they had their own
church-the Anglican Church. He closed all the monasteries. He also joined Wales. The kings
and queens sent people to explore the New World because they had a strong navy. Arts and
learning became important, and Shakespeare was a famous writer who brought many words and

How Arthur became King
After King Uther's death there was a lot of fighting about who should become King of
Britian. So Merlin the wizard went to the Archbishop of Canterbury and said, "We must stop this
fighting because the people of Britian are suffering”. The Archbishop agreed and sent an invitation
to all the lords and knights to come to St. Paul's Cathedral in London on Christmas Day.
On Christmas morning the church was crowded with British knights and noblemen. When
they went out into the churchyard, they saw a big stone. Sticking out of it was a sword. The words
on it said: "Whose pulleth out this sword is by the right of birth King of England". Of course
everyboy tried to pull the sword out, but it never moved.
On New Year's Day there was a tournament in London. Kay, Arthur's brother, wanted to
take part in it, so all the family went there. But Arthur was so excited that he had forgotten his
foster-brother's sword. So he went off to find another one. When he came past the churchyard, he
remembered the sword in the stone. Quickly he ran to the stone and pulled the sword out easily.
When he gave it to his brother, Kay couldn't believe his eyes. He raced to his father and cried,
“Look, Father, this is the sword from the stone, Arthur gave it to me". Sir Ector turned to Arthur
and asked. "How did you come by it?” “Sir, when I was looking for a sword for my brother, I
thought of this one and pulled it out".
At first, nobody believed Arthur's story. So everyone went to the churchyard. Sir Ector told
Arthur to put the sword back into the stone. Then all the knights tried to pull out the sword, but
they could not move it. “Now it is your turn, boy”, Sir Ector said to Arthur, and Arthur pulled the
sword form the stone easily. Arthur had to do that over and over again until everybody was
convinced that he was the rightful king of England.
But in the end, rich and poor fell on their knees before him and cried out, “Long live Arthur,
our King!”

READING AND VOCABULARY
1. Read the text.
The stereotype prevailing around the world portrays the British as dressing in inconceivably
formal clothes, eating tasteless food, doing boring and leisurely sports, and having a specific sense
of humor incomprehensible to foreigners. And also as a conservative, reserved and cold person.
Indeed, the British are not the most open and spontaneous people. Undoubtedly, the unstable
climate of the British Isles had a great influence on the formation of the British national character.
Weather has been the gain theme for centuries for "small talks" and for family conversations.
Popular descriptions of British weather: "cold grey, warmer grey, gorgeous short burst of summer,
grey again" or "gloom-gloom-hope-gloom".
The unpredictability and variability of British weather made them so different from all of
continental Europe. For comparison. Rome has an average of 2,500 hours of sunshine per year,
London has 1,500 hours, and Glasgow only 1,250! The English coldness is a consequence of the
cold climate. The inhabitants of the British Isles simply did not have and do not have the
opportunity to communicate as much outside the home as southerners do, who have developed a
café - culture. Bad weather largely explains the natural restraint and gloom of the British, the lack
of unnecessary excitement in solving problems.
2. Match the adjectives to the nouns.
1. formal a) sense of humour
2. tasteless b) character
3. boring c) climate
4. specific d) restraint

The Englishmen
In Britain traditions play an important part in the life of the people. Englishmen are proud of
their traditions and carefully keep them up.
Almost every nation has a reputation of some kind. The English are cold, reserved people.
They are steady, easy-going and fond of sports. The English are naturally polite and are never tired
of saying “Thank you” and “I am sorry”. They are generally disciplined, you never hear loud talk
in the street. They don’t rush for seats in buses and trains, but they take their seats in queues at bus
stops. English people do not shake hands when meeting one another, they do not show their
emotions even in tragic situations. They seem to remain good-tempered and cheerful under
difficulties.
The English are a nation of stay-at-homes. There is no place like home. English people prefer
small houses, built for one family. The fire is the focus of the English Home.

The British people like gardens. They like growing plants in a window-box outside the
kitchen or in the garden near the house. They love flowers very much. Britain is a nation of animal
lovers. They have about five million dogs, almost as many cats, 3 million parrots and other cage
birds, aquarium fish - and 1 million exotic pets such as reptiles. In Britain they have special dog
shops selling food, clothes and other things for dogs. There are dog hair-dressing saloons and dog
cemeteries. In Britain pets can send Christmas cards to their friends, birthday cards. There are
special animal hotels at the airports. The English people believe that they are the only nation on
the earth that is really kind to its animals.
There are some traditions concerning food. English cooking is heavy and plain. The
Englishman likes a good breakfast. A good breakfast means porridge with fish, bacon and eggs,
toast and marmalade, tea or coffee. Tea is a part of the prose of British life, as necessary as potatoes
and bread. Lunch consists on weekdays of stew, fried fish, chops, liver or sausages, vegetables.
Then goes an apple tart, or hot milk pudding. Sunday dinner is a special occasion, it is a joint of
beef or lamb with vegetables. From 4 to 6 there is a very light meal called 5 o’clock tea. It is a
snack of thin bread and butter and cups of tea with small cakes. This became a kind ritual. At this
time everything stops for tea. Dinner (usually at 6 p.m.) is much like lunch and is in many families
the last meal of the day. Supper is a snack of bread and cheese and cocoa. The English have a
popular tradition known as fish and chips. They are bought at special fish and chips shops.

Shops and shopping
There are different kind of shops. Some of them sell bread. Others have tea, sugar, coffee,
butter, cheese, sausages, meal and fruit.
When we want to buy something, we take our shopping-bag and go to a shop. There we can
see shop-girls and shop-men who sell things.
Many people do their shopping at the market. There the farmers sell the vegetables and fruit
which they grow themselves. They sell meat, milk and other things too.
Large shops with many departments are departments stores. In these stores we can buy
almost all we want. In the windows we see all the things which they sell there – food, suits, dresses,
coats, boots, shoes, radio and TV sets and many other things too.
In the past there were no supermarkets in Great Britain, but there were a lot of small shops.
Fifty years ago people went to the shops almost every day. They went to the buther’s to buy
meat. They went to the grocer’s for tea, sugar, flour and cheese. They bought butter and milk at
the diary. They bought bread at the baker’s. They bought fruit and vegetables at the greengrocer’s.
Customers pointed to all the packets, bottles, boxes, cans, cartons, jars and tins they wanted
to buy.

Shopping at the supermarket
Here I am at the supermarket. I’m Sara and I’m with my daughter Claire. She loves
supermarkets and I like them, too. My husband doesn’t like supermarkets. That’s why he is at
home reading the newspapers.
Let me see… I like apples and coke. Claire prefers grapes and orange juice. For breakfast I
like milk because it’s very important for our bones, especially for children! And you, do you like
milk?
