Hurricane Harvey 🗞
In the US, the strongest storm in 12 years is coming to Texas. Scientists named the storm Hurricane Harvey, and it could grow to be a Category 3 hurricane, which means that its winds could reach 210 kilometres/hour.
Along the ocean, the government gave mandatory evacuation orders and inland, people reinforced their homes. A sheriff warned people that they needed to follow the orders and that he would not send boats to help them if they stayed.
Once the hurricane hits land, there could be many days of rain.
Difficult words: mandatory (you must do something mandatory), inland (away from the ocean), reinforce (make protections, make stronger).

😂A woman selling apples in New York...
A woman selling apples in New York is puzzled by a man who always comes by, pays a quarter, but never picks up an apple. This goes on for some time until, one day, the woman runs after the man as he walks away. ' I know why you are chasing after me... you want to know why I always pay a quarter but never take an apple,' the man says. The woman replies: 'No, I wanted to tell you that the price has just gone up'.

Holes in Swiss Cheese 🗞
After old stories about hungry mice, many random guesses, and a hundred years of research, we now know why Swiss cheese has holes in it. And mice are not responsible.
There are holes in cheese because of hay. Very small particles of hay get into the milk and create holes when the milk turns into cheese.
Over the last 15 years, the holes have been getting smaller, or are gone completely. This is thanks to modern milking systems –milk is much cleaner than before. The amount of hay dust added to the milk can control the number of holes.
Difficult words: random guess (when you say that something could be true, but you do not really know why), research (scientific study), hay (dried grass which is fed to animals).

5. Переходите к просмотру фильмов. Попробуйте сначала посмотреть фильм на английском языке с английскими субтитрами. Ни в коем случае не с русскими – от такого просмотра не будет никакого толка в плане изучения языка. С английскими субтитрами “непонятная слитная речь” сразу превратится в легко понимаемую.
6. Играйте только в образовательные игры🕹 на английском языке с озвучиванием. С помощью игр у вас проявится способность воспринимать живую речь на слух. Если понимаете речь мультипликационных персонажей, то проблем с языком не будет.
Еще будет продолжение. Не забывайте следить за каналом и подписываться и на следующей неделе . А вы прочитали предыдущую часть?

😂 Mr. and Mrs. Wilson
Mr. and Mrs. Wilson lived in a big crowded city, and one summer they took a vacation in the country.
They enjoyed it very much, because it was a quiet,clean place and very different from the city.
One day they went for a walk early in the morning and met an old man.
He lived on a farm, and he was sitting alone in the warm sun outside his front door.
Mr. Wilson asked him, "Do you like living in such a quiet place?"
The old man said, "Yes, I do."
Mr. Wilson said, "What are the good things about it?"
The old man answered, "Well, everybody knows everybody else. People often come and visit me, and I often go and visit them. And there are also lots of children here."
Mr. Wilson said, "That's interesting. And what are the bad things?"
The old man thought for a minute and then said, "Well, the same things,really."
