Задание 1. Установите соответствие между заголовками A-F и текстами 1-5. Занесите свои ответы в таблицу. Используйте каждую букву только один раз. В задании есть один лишний заголовок.
A. What communities can do
B. The number of languages in danger
C. The last speaker of his language
D. The most important reason why languages are dying out
E. Language and natural disasters
F. What happens when languages die
1. Maluerindi (a name which means ‘Running Water’) is lonely because he has nobody to talk to, but his loneliness won’t change – he is the last person in the world who can speak his Aboriginal language. ‘It’s sad,’ he says, ‘but there’s nothing we can do about it now.’
2. Experts who study languages say that there are 51 other languages with just one speaker left – 28 of them in Australia. These languages are so close to dying out that nobody can save them. The experts tell us that out of the world’s 6.000 languages, 3.000 will disappear in the next 100 years.
3. There are many reasons why languages die out. Sometimes natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods or hurricanes suddenly destroy small groups of people who live in faraway places. Sometimes the weather changes and there isn’t enough food, and sometimes strangers bring new diseases.
4. But disasters like these are not the biggest danger, and do not tell us why languages are disappearing faster than ever before. The real problem comes from the big world languages such as English, Spanish, Portuguese and French. Today, mainly because of America, English is the first world language, and it is very hard for smaller languages to survive.
5. We should care about languages that are in danger just as we should care about rare plants and animals. When a language dies out it is not like when a civilization such as the ancient Greeks or Egyptians die. They leave behind buildings like the pyramids in Egypt and the Parthenon in Greece – there is always something to show that they were there. But a spoken language leaves nothing behind – when it dies, there is only silence.

Turn Off TV Week Blog
by Bob Martin on February 25, 2011
The annual Turn Off TV Week starts today. The idea is to live without TV for a whole week. The people who organize it say that television is a bad thing. Personally, I’m not sure that they’re right. First of all, the organizers say that the kids of today are lazier and in worse physical condition than kids of the past because they spend all their time in front of the TV. But a recent study of 10.000 US children aged 10 to 15 found no connection between TV and physical fitness. Children who don’t watch TV don’t always do more physical activity. And even the world’s biggest TV addict can find an hour in the day to do exercise. In my case, soaps always make me want to turn off the TV and go down to the gym!
I agree that there are lots of terrible programmes on TV. But I don’t agree with saying ‘No TV’. I just think we need some more intelligent programmes. TV can be informative, funny and moving. And, yes, it can be awful too. The most important thing is to think about what we watch and be more selective. Another thing that is not black and white is the idea that TV only stops us from communicating with others. An American professor found that parents in homes with no TV have an hour of conversation with their children every day. In other homes, there was only 38 minutes of conversation…. a week! That’s bad. But TV can also bring people together and help to start conversations. Is there a better way to begin a conversation than by chatting about the latest episode of your favourite series?
Turn off my TV? OK. But I also plan to continue turning it on when there’s something good on.

I agree. You can’t say that all TV is bad. It’s as stupid as saying that all books are good, or that all pop music is bad. Maybe a lot of TV is bad. But the idea is to look for the good programmes. I always read the TV guide and decide what I’m interested in watching. I watch my favourite programmes and I also try some new programmes too. I watch them and then I switch the TV off.

OK, I agree there are some good programmes on TV. But we all know that the most popular programmes are awful. Unreal reality shows, boring football matches, stupid soaps. That’s why Turn Off TV Week exists, and that’s why I like it. It tells people that there are more important things in life than knowing what’s happening on Big Brother.
