B2 A. Facilities B. Reservations C. Location D. History E, The Ice Hotel F. Construction 1, People often choose to have holidays in strange and unusual places. But there can be few places stranger than the Ice Hotel in Sweden, which is visited by almost 37000 people each winter. Built entirely of snow and ice, the hotel is the very opposite of the centrally heated buildings we normally associate with northern countries. Rather than insulate itself from the cold subzero environment all around it, the hotel embraces the wintry surroundings and makes them into part of its attraction. 2. The Ice Hotel is situated in the small village of Jukkasjarvi, next to the river Tomealven. Jukkasjarvi lies 200 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle in Saamiland (formerly known as Lapland), the most northerly part of Sweden. Before the arrival of the Ice Hotel there were almost no tourists in this sparsely populated region, where the local people speak Saami, not Swedish, and there is no industry or pollution, 3. The Ice Hotel is not @ permanent building but is rebuilt each winter. Construction of the 5000 square metre building starts in late October when special snow cannons shoot tons of snow onto steel sections. After two days the steel sections are removed leaving solid snow arches five or six metres wide. Over the following weeks the sections are reused to make more arches. Huge ice blocks are carved from the frozen river to make walls and pillars. . 4. The story of the Ice Hotel began in the winter of 1988—90. There was an exhibition of ice art in the local village and a cylinder-shaped igloo made ofice was built for an exhibition by French artist Jannot Derid. Some of the visitors decided to sleep on reindeer skins fi the igloo and found it surprisingly relaxing. Other people wanted to’ share this unique ‘experience and the concept of the Ice Hotel was'born. 5. (ors to the Ice Hotel are sometimes nervous about stay- ing in a place where the outside temperature in winter is often minus forty degrees Centigrade. But, of éodrse, conditions inside the Ice Hotel are reasonably comfortable. The guests are provided with sleeping bags and their beds are lined with reindeer skins, To keep visitors amused in the evenings the hotel includes an ‘ice cinema’ and an ‘ice bar’, During the day the hotel company organises sports activities such as white water rafting, dog sledding and fishing and ‘safaris’ to observe reindeer in their natural habitat.

My opinion about new technologies. They are simply necessary in our daily life! Now it is difficult to see a person without a phone, a computer. Of course, phones and computers are good, but they have their disadvantages. Well, I am one of them, but still. I noticed how I began to go out with friends less often, we are already dependent on them, we cannot live without them. But under these circumstances, we need to learn through the phone!

ну вот,не расстраивайся если не получается или не хочется!

Internet appeared not so long ago, but now we can’t imagine our life without it. It has entered many spheres of our life and simplified it so much that we will refuse this invention under no circumstances.

We use the internet in many ways: we communicate with people, even with those who live abroad; we share our knowledge, emotions, feelings and experience by means of blogging or microblogging; we find any information in less than a minute; plan our trips, book flight tickets, and hotels; purchase clothes and other items, too.

In other words, we have a wide range of online activities which help us to get in touch with people, learn something new every day and be aware of all happening in the world. We have got used to this level of information accessibility due to which we feel more confident and free to express our viewpoint.

However, the internet is not always a blessing as we become extremely addicted to it and may lose our communication skills. The fact is that we now tend to get stick to our smartphones and other electronic devices and neglect real communication.

This may lead to loneliness and difficulties building real relationships with people. That’s why we should control the amount of time we spend online and not to forget about our families and friends. We won’t become closer if we keep in touch only virtually.

The internet can be a blessing, but we should use it carefully in order not to turn the blessing into a curse.

Перевод:

Интернет появился не так давно, но сейчас мы не можем представить нашу жизнь без него. Он стал частью многих сфер нашей жизни и упростил ее так сильно, что мы ни за какие деньги не откажемся от этого изобретения.

Мы используем интернет по-разному: мы общаемся с людьми, даже с теми, что живут за границей; делимся знаниями, эмоциями, чувствами и опытом с блогов и микроблогов; мы находим любую информацию меньше чем за минуту, планируем поездки, бронируем билеты на самолет и отели, покупаем одежду и другие товары тоже.

Иными словами, мы имеем широкий спектр онлайн деятельности, которая нам связываться с людьми, учиться чему-то новому каждый день и быть в курсе всего происходящего в мире. Мы привыкли к такому уровню доступности информации, из-за которой чувствуем себя увереннее и свободнее в выражении своей точки зрения.

Однако интернет – это не всегда хорошо, так как мы становимся очень зависимыми от него и можем потерять наши навыки общения. Дело в том, что мы сейчас склонны прилипать к своим смартфонам и другим электронным приборам и пренебрегаем живым общением.

Это может привести к одиночеству и сложностям в выстраивании отношений с людьми. Поэтому нам следует контролировать количество времени, проведенное в сети и не забывать о семье и друзьях. Мы не станем ближе друг к другу, поддерживая отношения лишь виртуально.
