I. Reading
Arion was a wonderful musician who lived in the city of Corinth. He could play the lyre and sing very well. The king of Corinth was his friend.

One summer he went to Italy, visited several cities, got a lot of money for his music and wished to return home. The captain of the ship, which was ready to sail to Corinth, agreed to take the musician as a passenger.

The sailors and the captain of the ship were dishonest people and they decided to throw the musician overboard and take all his money. Arion asked the sailors to let him sing his latest and best song before he jumped into water. He sang a wonderful song and jumped overboard as he had promised.

The sailors divided Arion's money among themselves; and the ship sailed to Corinth. The king sent an officer to bring the captain and his men to the palace to ask them about his friend Arion. They answered that he had been well and happy in Italy. Just after they had said this Arion appeared.

Arion was saved by a dolphin which had been charmed by his music and was swimming near the ship.

III. Speaking
Let me introduce myself. My name is... I am a 17-year-old student of the school No...,... (city / town / village). I was lucky to become an exchange programme student. I think it's going to be a really valuable experience which will help me develop my personality.

We all are just common people. But everybody of us can succeed in his/her life. We can do our best to become personalities. Our life is ruled by three basic choices: what moral values to have, what people to be with and what aims to achieve. First of all, we have to think about our inner world. People say, "When a man begins to understand himself, he begins to live." In my opinion, it's good to be easy-going, fun-loving, well-wishing and reliable. I can say that I'm a sociable person because I can easily communicate with others. That's why I'm always surrounded with friends. Furthermore, I'm responsible because I know all my duties I'm in charge of and I try to fulfil them. So, both my parents and my friends can rely on me. I'm helpful when my friends face either difficulties or hardships. Finally, I'm ambitious because I want to be successful in life.

However, I have character traits I would like to get rid of. I think that my serious fault is being too moody at times when I feel unhappy and impatient without a reason. What is more, I often make critical remarks about other people's work or behaviour. In addition, I can be obstinate at times. I don't like to change my ideas and opinions even when other people think I'm unreasonable.

All things considered, none of us is perfect. But we have to be optimists in everything we do. I try to do my best to discover my own personality. I want to change myself and to become better. The person who thinks positively and tries hard to be sensible, honest, kind and caring will be wiser tomorrow than he or she is today.

In a few years I'll have to make important decisions in my life by myself. My life will be enlarged with my own responsibilities. I'm sure that I'll make the right steps in my personal growth.
