Скласти 2 спеціальних запитання до тексту. A Family Tree Project
One day Tom told his class his family story. He made a nice family tree. His classmates were interested in the project.
Tom said, "It's always been my dream to learn more about my family. So, I had a talk with my parents and grandparents. My aunts and uncles helped, too. They gave me interesting photographs. My grandparents found some old letters."
"What did you do after that?" Betsy asked him.
"I used my notes to make a chart. I started with my birthplace and my date of birth. Then I drew connecting lines to my parents, then my grandparents and so on. I wrote their birthplaces and dates of birth."
Mrs Tyler said, "On Monday you'll draw your family trees and tell us your family story. I think it will be very interesting. Please, bring some of your family photos and your notes."

New lands have always attracted people. Some geographical discoveries were made by chance or even due to mistakes. The travellers of the past did not have any reliable navigation devices. Maps were often inaccurate and incomplete which made mistakes unavoidable. The dangers, however, didn't stop the adventurers. They used every possibility for exploring the world. Lots of unfortunate travellers lost their lives, but those who survived kept searching for new lands, new goods, and new knowledge. The knowledge was, obviously, the most valuable of these things.

Новые земли всегда привлекали людей. Некоторые географические открытия были сделаны случайно или даже из-за ошибок. В у путешественников не было никаких надежных навигационных устройств. Карты часто были неточными и неполными, что делало ошибки неизбежными. Опасности, однако, не останавливали авантюристов. Они использовали каждую возможность исследовать мир. Многие несчастные путешественники погибали, но те, кто выжил, продолжали искали новые земли, новые товары и новые знания. Знание было, очевидно, самым ценным из этих вещей.
