Задание №1 Reading activity Read the text about Geoffrey Chaucer and decide if the sentences below true or false.

Chaucer is the earliest great writer of English literature. He was born in London inl340, the son of wine merchant. When he was 16 he became a soldier and fought in the wars against the French. He returned to London in 1360 and became the civil servant at the court of King Edward III. Because Chaucer could speak French and Italian the king made him a diplomat and sent him for many trips abroad. While he was travelling Chaucer read a lot of French and Italian literature. The works of the Italian poets Dante and Boccaccio made an important influence on him. 1 Chaucer’s first works were translations of Latin and French books. But Chaucer’s greatest work was written just before he died in 1400, in fact he never finished it. It is “The Canterbury Tales”. In the middle ages many people went on pilgrimages to Canterbury to visit the tomb of Thomas a Becket in the cathedral. Chaucer’s book tells us about a group of pilgrims who travel from London to Canterbury and tell each other stories to pass the time during a long journey. The stories are full of excitement romance and comedy. The pilgrims come from all levels of society and show us many weaknesses of humanity. “The Canterbury Tales” show us that people who lived six hundred years ago were really no different from people today.

Задание №3 Listen to Robinson Crusoe autobiography before he became a sailor.

MY FIRST SEA JOURNEY

Before I begin my story, I would like to tell you a little about myself. I was born in the year 1632, in the city of York in the North of England. My father was German, but he came to live and work in England. Soon after that, he married my mother, who was English. Her family name was Robinson, so, when I was born, they called me Robinson, after her. My father did well in his business and I went to a good school. He wanted me to get a good job and live a quiet, comfortable life. But I didn’t want that. I wanted adventures and an exciting life. “I want to be a sailor and go to sea”, I told my mother and father. They were very unhappy about this. “Please, don’t go”, my father said. “You won’t be happy, you know. Sailors have a difficult and dangerous life”. And because I loved him, and he was unhappy, I tried to forget about the sea. But about a year later, I saw a friend in town. His father had a ship, and my friend said to me, “We’re sailing to London tomorrow. Why don’t you come with us?” And so, on September 1,1651,1 went to Hull, and the next day we left for London.
