I. Reading
The US researchers are building a robot which is sensitive to emotional states of humans and is able to understand what people are feeling. But the problem is that different people express the same emotion differently.

Wearable sensors are fit while people play video games. They monitor their emotional reactions and capture information about heart rate to measure stress and anxiety levels. They also measure changes in skin conductivity and the amount of facial muscle movement.

By combining the results of measurements the researchers can get a rate of a person's stress level.

II. Writing
Dear Mum and Dad,
I am writing to you from England. Everything is fine. The language school is perfect - good learning facilities and qualified teachers. I enjoy every minute of my stay here.
I am staying with the Smiths. They are a family of four: Mr and Mrs Smith, their son William, aged 9, and their daughter Mary, 15. They are very kind and friendly.
I get on well with the kids. We talk about our life and studies a lot. It's so interesting to learn about the British way of life. Mrs Smith is fond of collecting porcelain dolls. There are more than 50 of them in the living room.
Mr Smith loves gardening. William is interested in computer games and photography. Mary likes sailing and boating.
We go sightseeing every day. On Saturday we are visiting London.
As you see, I am really enjoying myself.
Thank you for the wonderful possibility you gave me.
Love,
Diana

III. Speaking
People can't be happy without friends. We all need someone with whom we can share our lives, thoughts, feelings, and frustrations. We need to be able to share our deepest secrets with someone, without worrying that those secrets will end up on the Internet the next day! What does the word 'friendship' mean to me? For some people, friends are just people you go out and have fun with. For me, however, the ideal friendship is much more than that.

Firstly, a true friend should be honest and trustworthy. Without these characteristics, you cannot have a good relationship with anyone. What is more, both partners in a friendship should have these qualities. A proper friendship is one based on equality. Secondly, I believe that it is important to share similar interests with your friend. It would be very difficult to keep a friendship going if the two people had nothing in common. Thirdly, an ideal friend is one who you can turn to in times of trouble. Friendship is not only about having a good time, but being able to give or ask for support whenever it is needed. Some of the closest friendships have developed under very difficult circumstances.

Friendship is one of the few kinds of relationship we have control over. Although, we can't choose our relatives or teachers, we can choose our friends. Friendship takes time: time to get to know each other, time to build shared memories, time to invest in each other's growth. Real friendship looks at the heart, not just the "packaging".

I am lucky to have a good friend. Her name is Yevhenia. She is a university student. My best friend is fun-loving, cheerful and kind-hearted. She is outgoing and active, but she can be moody at times. She doesn't like it when something goes wrong.

My friend is a person I can always rely on. She can keep a secret and usually helps me decide what to do in a difficult situation. My friend knows all positive sides of my character and my drawbacks. But nevertheless, she still likes me.

Genuine friendship is both challenging and exciting. It risks, it overlooks faults, and it loves unconditionally, but it also involves being truthful, even though it may hurt.

"The way to have a friend is to be one," one saying goes. So it is really important to be a friend to others if you want to have a lot of friends.
