Read the text. answer the questions. you can give short answers. money today when i was young, i got 50p a week pocket money from my parents. that’s about fifty-eight cents today. to get this money i had to help my parents in the house. i usually spent some of my money on sweets but i also saved some. when i was sixteen, i got a part-time job. it was what you did in those days. i worked 13.5 hours a week in a local shop and loved it. today, many of my friends give their children ten euros a week pocket money. this is not to spend on big things like mobile phones but for new cds, going out and daily life. their children have tvs and computers in their bedrooms and always want money to follow the latest fashion. although their parents’ wages might not go up much each year, pocket money always does. as a society, are we spending more and why? some people think we are richer now, others think the products we buy are cheaper and we buy more of them. i’m not sure. i never had a computer as a child, but now, most children i know have one. a computer is necessary for school and modern life – in the same way that mobile phones and mp3s are. but, are we really richer now? we may earn more money but we spend a lot more too and generally, things cost more, especially large electrical products. perhaps it’s because we follow fashion more and don’t want to wait and save. it’s good to have the latest new products. my parents had to wait until they had enough money to buy something new. my parents also never spent money they didn’t have. perhaps this is the biggest difference with money these days. it doesn’t have to be cash. we don’t have to have the money at this moment, either in the bank or our pocket. today many people live on credit and use credit cards. it’s a ‘spend now and pay later’ society. 29. what did the writer do with his/her pocket money? 30. what does the writer say children spend their pocket money on? 31. what do most children have now, which the author didn’t have? 32. what did the writer’s parents have to do when they wanted to buy something? 33. how do people often pay for things these days?

The writer spend his/her money on sweets and saved up some of it as well.

The writer says that the kids spend their money on useless stuff, and the parents buy them all of the other things. For example, TVs in bedrooms, latest trendy clothes and so on.

Children nowadays have a lot of pocket money they can spend however they want, but she/he didn’t. Because a little before, people did not have as much as money as today.

Mostly these days, people carry credit cards and pay with them. Not only it is easier, but also more comfortable to use.

Существует два рас определения времени.

1) Сказать сначала сколько часов, а потом сколько минут. (Hour + Minutes)

6:25 - It's six twenty-five

8:05 - It's eight O-five (the O is said like the letter O)

9:11 - It's nine eleven

2:34 - It's two thirty-four

2) Наоборот. Сначала сколько минут, а потом часов.  (Minutes + PAST / TO + Hour)

Для минут от 1-ой до 30-ой мы используем PAST после минут.

Для минут от 31-ой до 59-ой мы используем TO после минут.

2:35 - It's twenty-five to three

11:20 - It's twenty past eleven

4:18 - It's eighteen past four

8:51 - It's nine to nine

7:15 - It's (a) quarter past seven

Когда 15 минут до кого-то часа, нормально сказать: a quarter to

12:45 - It's (a) quarter to one

Когда 30 минут после кого-либо часа, нормально сказать: half past

3:30 - It's half past three (but we can also say three-thirty)

O'clock

Мы используем o'clock когда НЕТ минут.

10:00 - It's ten o'clock

5:00 - It's five o'clock

1:00 - It's one o'clock

12:00

Для полдня в английском есть три варианта.

twelve o'clock

Общие формы во которые мы используем, чтобы с время которое сейчас это:

What time is it?

Более вежливый с о времени, особенно у незнакомца:

Could you tell me the time please?

Обычные формы во которые мы используем, чтобы задать, в какое время произойдет конкретное событие:

What time...?

When...?

When does the bus arrive from Liverpool?

When does the meeting begin?

Отвечать

Мы используем It is или It's чтобы ответить на во которые задают для времени right now.

It is half past five (5:30).

It's ten to twelve (11:50)

И мы используем AT + время при указании времени конкретного события.

The bus arrives at midday (12:00).

The flight leaves at a quarter to two (1:45).

The concert begins at ten o'clock. (10:00)

Мы также можем использовать предметные местоимения в этих ответах.

It leaves at a quarter to two (1:45).

It begins at ten o'clock. (10:00)

AM и PM

В английском языке обычно не используют 24 формат времени как в России.

Используют a.m. (am) для утра (до обеда) и p.m. (pm) для после обеда.

3am = Three o'clock in the morning.

3pm = Three o'clock in the afternoon.
