Vitamin D helps our bones to grow strong and hard, and we are able to make it for ourselves if our skin gets enough sunlight.

Please translate the text about meals.
There are four meals a day in an English home: breakfast, lunch, tea, and dinner.
Breakfast is the first meal of the day. It is at about 8 o'clock in the morning, and consists of porridge with milk and salt or sugar, eggs — boiled or fried, bread and butter with marmalade or jam. Some people like to drink tea, but others prefer coffee. Instead of porridge they may have fruit juice, or they may prefer biscuits.
The usual time for lunch is 1 o'clock. This meal starts with soup or fruit juice. Then follows some meat or poultry with potatoes — boiled or fried, carrots and beans. Then a pudding comes. Instead of the pudding they may prefer cheese and biscuits. Last of all coffee — black or white. Englishmen often drink something at lunch. Water is usually on the table. Some prefer juice or lemonade.
Tea is the third meal of the day. It is between 4 or 5 o'clock, the so-called 5 o'clock tea. On the table there is tea, milk or cream, sugar, bread and butter, cakes and jam. Friends and visitors are often present at tea.
Dinner is the fourth meal of the day. The usual time is about 7 o'clock, and all the members of the family sit down together.
Dinner usually consists of soup, fish or meat with vegetables — potatoes, green beans, carrot and cabbage, sweet pudding, fruit salad, ice-cream or cheese and biscuits. Then after a talk they have black or white coffee.

Stress: What is it?
Although we all talk about stress, it often isn't clear what stress is really about. Many people consider stress to be something that happens to them, an event such as an injury or a promotion. Others think that stress is what happens to our bodies, minds and behaviours in response to an event (e.g. heart pounding, anxiety, or nail biting). While stress does involve events and our response to them, these are not the most important factors. Our thoughts about the situations in which we find ourselves a re the critical factor.
When something happens to us, we automatically evaluate the situation mentally. We decide if it is threatening to us, how we need to deal with the situation, and what skills we can use. If we decide that the demands of the situation outweigh the skills we have, then we label the situation as "stressful" and react with the classic "stress response". If we decide that our coping skills outweigh the demands of the situation, then we don't see it as "stressful".
Everyone sees situations differently and has different coping skills. For this reason, no two people will respond exactly the same way to a given situation.
Additionally, not all situations that are labeled "stressful" are negative. The birth of a child, being promoted or moving to a new home may not be perceived as threatening. However, we may feel that situations are "stressful" because we don't feel fully prepared to deal with them.
Some situations in life are stress-provoking, but it is our thoughts about situations that determine whether they are a problem to us.
How we perceive a stress-provoking event and how we react to it determines its impact on our health. We may be motivated and invigorated by the events in our lives, or we may see some as "stressful" and respond in a manner that may have a negative effect on our physical, mental and social well-being. If we always respond in a negative way our health and happiness may suffer. By understanding ourselves and our reactions to stress-provoking situations, we can learn to handle stress more effectively. We hope that this booklet will help you to build better coping skills for managing stress.

'Oh, thank you very much,' says the crocodile. Now you know why crocodiles never eat hens!

'Oh, Mr. Wolf, sing for me. I know you can do it well. I want to dance,' says the Lamb.
The Wolf likes the idea. He thinks he can sing well. So the Wolf sings a song and the Lamb dances. Then the Lamb asks, 'Can you sing louder?' 'Of course, I can sing louder. Listen.' So the Wolf sings louder and makes so much noise that the dogs hear him and run after him. When the Wolf sees the dogs, he runs away.

Marionettes
Puppet shows
Stories about Pinocchio
There are many kinds of puppets: hand puppets, rod puppets, shadow figures and marionettes. They are little figures operated by strings and wires from above, by rods, or hands from below.
Puppets are as old as the theatre itself. The first puppets were made in India or Egypt. Puppet theatres thousands of years old have been found in both of these countries. Marionettes, which are animated by string from above, got their name in Italy. During the early Christmas celebrations, small figures including the Christ Child and the Virgin Mary were made to move by strings. This kind of puppet became known as a marionette, or little Mary.
In China, Japan and Java puppet showmen have made figures to represent the heroes, gods, and animals of their legends and stories. In Java, Siam and Greece they showed shadow plays. They moved cut-out figures against a vertical sheet lighted from behind.
Puppet shows were so popular that even great composers like Mozart, Haydn, and Gluck wrote special operas for them.
There are many stories for puppet theatres too. One of the best loved by children stories tells about the adventures of Pinocchio, a puppet who came to life. You will find the same puppet characters famous in different lands. Punch, the famous English puppet, is known in Italy as Punchinello and in France as Polichinelle.
Puppets can be any size needed. There arc some marionettes that are only 15 centimetres tall, and some have been made 100 metres tall! Also, it is possible to make puppet animals and they can be just as good actors as people.
Exercise 2. Are the sentences true (T) or false (F)?

1.1 spent eight months in Edinburgh. I had really a great time. I met a lot of different people, not only from Scotland, but also from many other countries. I lived with a Scottish family and went to a college. It was a completely different way of studying from my school in Italy, but it was a great experience and it helped me with my English. I can even sing a few Scotch national songs. Marco, 18, Italy
2.1 went to London for a month. It was so different from home! At first I couldn't get used to many things. Then I felt much better. My host family was very nice and they helped me a lot. They even taught me to cook some British dishes. I learned English in the morning at a summer school and met a lot of students from different countries there: Spain, France, and even China. I made a lot of friends and my English is quite fluent now. Katya, 15, Russia
3.1 was quite nervous when I left home for a year and went to study in a foreign country. But after one year in Britain I can say I really feel at home. I love living in this capital city. I meet people from different countries and have a chance to learn about their culture. We celebrate different festivals, talk about their countries, politics, sports and music. It's really great. Madhu. 16, India
