1. How can you define “the standard of living”?
2. What does it depend on?
3. What are its important factors?
4. What is your family budget?
5. What is your parents’ monthly salary? (How much do they earn a month before (after) tax)
6. How much does your family spend on rent and the bills, on their car, book, entertainment, clothes, food, tuition, holidays, etc.
7. Do you think your family’s standard of living is high or low?
Words and expressions to be used in answers to the questions:
living standard, the balance between, monthly, salary, a salary before tax, a salary after tax, to spend money on smth, rent, public transport fees, foodstuffs, consumer goods, family budget, to pay the bills).
C. Hospitality
1. The Russian people are considered to be very hospitable. What hospitability is? Are you a hospitable host?
These words characterize a hospitable person: A hospitable person is always:
| cordial warm-hearted neat, tidy friendly | sincere open-hearted kind tactful | sociable easy-going generous |
A hospitable person is always ready:
- receive guests
- to give them a hearty welcome
- to make the quests feel at home
- to encourage the guests
- to entertain the guests
- to treat the guests to smth tasty
- to keep the ball rolling
Besides, a hospitable person must show:
| consideration tact encouragement cordiality generosity | kindness understanding hospitality friendliness |
That’s why in the presence of a hospitable person you never feel:
| ill at ease out of place | awkward uncomfortable | undesirable discouraged |
You never find a hospitable person:
| annoyed untidy indignant | in low spirits displeased |
No matter how a hospitable person feels and how busy she/he is, you always find a hearty welcome and generous reception.
2. Do you agree with these rules of hospitality? What other qualities of a hospitable person can you mention? Are the laws of hospitality the same or different in different countries. Can you give any examples? Here are some prompts to you.
- In my country usually we invite guests home at the weekend, in the early evening, about seven o’clock. The guests usually bring presents. You can see that in our country you should try to be modest and you shouldn’t show off too much. When we have foreign guests we try to serve traditional meals like sushi, tempura, or sukiyaki. When guests leave, the host and hostess see them out of the house.
- I usually invite my friends for an informal meal. I cook Spanish omelette, which is made with potatoes, onions and eggs, fried in olive oil. Then we have things like cheese, ham which is called Jabugo. And then things like olives, anchovies, mussels. We drink wine or beer. Some people may bring a bottle of wine or something for pudding. We usually meet late in the evening. Of course we dress casually” we just want to be relaxed and comfortable, and talk and laugh together.
- I’m from Texas. Sometimes when our family gets together with other families, we have what is called a ‘pot luck supper’, which can take place in the evening or even at lunchtime. This is an informal occasion held perhaps in the garden, so people dress casually but nicely. Invitations can be written or made by phone, and each person is asked to bring a dish of food. Guests are given a choice of salad or vegetables, or dessert. The hostess doesn’t know exactly what the guests will bring. It is a lovely surprise – to hold a dinner party without knowing what you are going to feed your guests. As the guests arrive, they put their dish on the table and drinks are provided. Some guests might bring a bottle of wine as a present. I really enjoy this kind of entertaining – it’s fun.
D. Watch the film “Family Album” (Episodes 7 “Man’s Best Friend”, 11 “A Place of one’s own”). Follow the directions in the Appendix “Traditions and Habits of American People.”

A. Read the text and do the given tasks.
Get acquainted with Henry!
Henry is a clerk in an office in town. He’s also a health freak. He wants to live to be a hundred, so health is very important to him.
He gets up at five o’clock in the morning and lifts weights for thirty minutes. For breakfast he eats spinach and a raw egg with garlic and chilli pepper. It tastes disgusting, but he thinks it’s good for him. Then he runs for an hour in the park, even if the weather is bad. He leaves for work at seven o’clock/ he never goes by bus or by train and he thinks that cars are extremely dangerous. So he walks everywhere – with a mask over his nose and mouth. He also wears a uniform which he designed to protect himself from dust and dirt.
At the office he washes his hands ten times a day and he wears gloves to pick up the telephone in case it’s dirty. He takes his lunch to work with him. He eats fifteen sunflower seeds and one onion. He is sure that the lunch which the firm provides isn’t good for him.
After work he rushes home to water the plants. He has hundreds of plants because they provide oxygen. In the evening he sometimes listens to the radio, but he never watches television because it might damage his eyesight.
On Monday he goes to a deep breathing class and on Thursdays he goes to a vegetarian cookery class. He rarely goes to the cinema or to the theatre – there are far too many germs (a small living thing which can make you ill). He goes to bed early. In summer he sleeps in a tent in the garden. At the weekend he goes camping in the country, but he never sits in the sun. on the first day of every month he goes to the doctor’s, just to make sure that he isn’t ill. After all, he doesn’t want to find himself in hospital.
Task 1. What about you? Make a list of ten differences between your lifestyle and Henry’s. The example below can be helpful:
I don’t lift weights before breakfast.

HEALTH & WELLNESS
Ask people what they mean by “being healthy” or “feeling well” and you probably will get different answers depending on whom you ask. Most people usually think of health in terms of disease; that is, people who are well have no disease. But what about someone who has a relatively harmless genetic disorder such as an extra toe? Is this individual less healthy that a person with the usual number of toes? Different perhaps, but not necessarily less healthy. Are you less well when you are struggling with a personal problem than when you are out having fun? Finding an acceptable, generally useful definition of health or wellness is not a simple task.
It is true that not feeling sick is one important aspect of health. Just as important, however, is the idea that health is a sense of optimum well-being – a state of physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual wellness. Contained in this view is the idea that health can be obtained by living in harmony with yourself, with other people, and with the environment. Health is gained and maintained by exerting self-responsibility for reducing exposure to health risk and for maximizing things such as good nutrition and exercise.
Wellness is dynamic and continuous, no dimension of wellness functions in isolation. When you have a high level of wellness or optimal health, all dimensions are integrated and functioning together. The person’s environment (including work, school, family, community), and his or her physical, emotional, intellectual, occupational, spiritual, and social dimensions of wellness are in tune with one another to produce harmony.
Experts commonly refer to six dimensions of health and wellness: emotional, intellectual, spiritual, occupational, social, and physical. We will discuss each briefly.
v Emotional wellness requires understanding emotions and coping with problems that arise everyday life.
v Intellectual wellness involves having a mind open to new ideas and concepts. If you are intellectually healthy you seek new experiences and challenges.
v Spiritual wellness is the state of harmony with yourself and others. It is the ability to balance inner needs with the demands of the rest of the world.
v Occupational wellness is being able to enjoy what you are doing to earn a living and/or contribute to society, whether it be going to college, working as a secretary, doctor, construction manager, or accountant. In a job, it means having skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, and communicating well.
v Social wellness refers to the ability to perform social roles effectively, comfortably, and without harming others.
v Physical wellness is a healthy body maintained by eating right, exercising regularly, avoiding harmful habits, making informed and responsible decisions about health, seeking medical care when needed, and participating in activities that help prevent illness.
