Task 1. Read the text. True or False. Seven tips for a tidy desk. 1. Only keep things you really need on and near your desk.
Use a tray for any papers you have to read. Have a jar for pens and pencils and have a bin near your desk. 2. Don’t keep any drinks on your desk. Go to the kitchen when you want to have a drink or, if you prefer, keep a drink on a small table near your desk.
3. Reduce the amount of paper that you use.
Try to keep as much information as possible in folders on your computer. Before printing a document, ask yourself, ‘do I really need to read this on paper?’
4. Scan your notes.
If you have a lot of paper (magazine articles, notes, worksheets, etc.), use a scanner and keep a digital version as a PDF on your computer.
5. Use your smartphone to take photos of things you need to remember.
For example, take photos of notes to yourself, the name and address of a place you need to visit or diagrams you need to study for school.
6. Get a noticeboard.
If you really do need to keep small bits of paper, use a noticeboard on the wall. Check it every day and throw old notes in the bin.
7. Clean your desk at the end of every day.
Choose a time to tidy your desk and do it! If you do it every day, it will only take five minutes and you can start each new day with a clean and tidy space.

1. You should put everything you will possibly need on your desk.
2. You should only have one pen or pencil.
3. It's a good idea to have a bin close to your desk.
4. It's better to keep information on your computer than on paper if possible.
5. If you have written notes on paper you should type them into the computer.

Объяснение:

nowadays, such a phenomenon as traffic jams is often found in large cities. People have to stand for several hours and wait for their turn to go further. I think this is a very urgent problem for many people, so I suggest several solutions that the local government can take.

First, the government could normalize public transport trips and make it more convenient and comfortable for people. Then there will be many times fewer cars on the roads and, accordingly, traffic jams.

secondly, the government could add traffic lights on the streets so that they regulate traffic and traffic jams would not be such a big problem.

thirdly, the government could lay shorter access roads so that people could use another road if there was a traffic jam on the first one.

To reduce the number of traffic jams, there are many different ways that the government could take and take advantage of for more comfortable use of the car, especially in large cities.

Read and practise saying the dialogues.

1) Receptionist:Good evening, what can I do for you?

Guest:I'd like to book a room.

R: When for?

G: I want to come on the 3rd of May and stay for three nights.

R: I'm really very sorry, but we are fully booked at that period.

G: Well, what about next week?

R: Oh, next week is OK, but what kind of room would you like?

G: A double, if possible.

R: I'm not quite sure, just one moment. Oh, I'm afraid we don't have any vacant double rooms for that moment, but never mind, I can offer you two nice single rooms.
