Most people know something about dolphins. For example, almost all of us can say that dolphins (1) ... for being intelligent and friendly. But if we are asked what colour dolphins are, how many people (2) ... ‘pink’? Hardly anybody! It might sound like a joke, but a pink dolphin has recently been spotted in Lake Calcasieu in Louisiana, USA. The animal, whose eyes are red, is a bottlenose dolphin. His body is pink all over and this is how he must have looked from birth: he is an albino, which (3) ... he has a med cal condition that causes pale skin. The dolphin (4) ... several years ago, although it is only very recently that he (5) ... to appear almost every day. Walt Furneaux, a local sailor, says he (6) ... the animal on numerous occasions. ‘I remember the first time I spotted him. Before that day I (7) ... anything so extraordinary in my life. He looked unreal,’ explains Walt.

We had been staying at (1) ... holiday resort on mainland Greece for nearly (2) ... week when we decided to visit one of the nearby islands.

(4) ... first, the weather was good and the sea was calm. However, after about fifteen minutes, dark clouds filled the sky, and it was clear that a storm was about to start. Ten minutes later, it was pouring (5) ... rain and the sea was extremely rough. It was absolutely terrifying! The captain of the boat explained (6) ... us that he couldn’t approach (7) ... the island  — he was worried that we might hit the rocks if we went too close! All we could do was wait for the storm to pass. All of the passengers were feeling very ill as well as frightened. But finally, the storm passed, the sea became calm once more and we finished our journey. I’ll never forget being (8) ... sea during a storm.

A.  No need to worry about that either. The advantage of living and working in a foreign country is that you learn the language quickly.

B.  True, but the trouble with that is more pressure and stress. A big disadvantage of the position I’ve been offered is that I’ll have too much to do.

C.  I suppose so... Another problem with this job offer is that I’ll need to improve my French  — and fast!

D.  No wonder! One good thing about it is the higher salary. It’s basically a promotion.

E.  Come on, one of the best things about you is how you respond to a challenge.

F.  You know, I’m seriously thinking of taking this job in Paris.

1.  Му day at the vet’s office was amazing. Not only did I learn a lot about veterinary medicine but I met Casey, the umbrella cockatoo (боль­шой бе­ло­хох­лый ка­ка­ду). This is not an ordinary bird. Casey speaks in short sentences having the intelligence almost equivalent to your five-year-old brother or sister. Unfortunately though, he has developed a personality disorder which results in rather strange behaviour. Strange repetitive body actions cause him to hurt his body, which constantly worries his owners.

2.  I met Dr Markus Luckwaldt, a small animal veterinarian practitioner who specialises in birds and exotic animals. Not only is Casey apparently in excellent hands but so is his owner, Paul Smith, who is immediately put to ease by the compassion and understanding demonstrated by this veterinarian.

3.  Watching the interactions with pet, owner and doctor, I was immediately struck by the high standard of communication skills required by the veterinarian in dealing with both humans and animals. Animals pick up insincerity and uncertainty faster than humans. The vet’s role reminded me of a quarterback’s (иг­ра­ю­щий тре­нер) job who determines the strategy and game plan for all the players who are part of the same team.

4.  So you think you’d like to be a veterinary doctor and you love animals? That’s a start but it is only a start if you are interested in a career in veterinary medicine. Veterinarians are much more than people with a fondness for animals. A veterinarian is a doctor of animal health who has trained at a university for at least six years and is licensed to provide medical and surgical care for animals.

5.  The day to day work of veterinarians involves examining animals, making diagnoses, doing blood tests or X-rays, treating diseases or injuries, performing surgery and preventing animal illness through vaccinations. Vets can specialise in the care and treatment of either small or large animals. Those who deal with small animals such as dogs, cats, birds or reptiles usually work in cities and have owners bring their animals to a clinic or office. Veterinarians who usually work with horses, cows, pigs and other farm animals often have a mobile practice visiting farms and going all over the countryside.

6.  The demand for veterinarians in all fields will continue. The veterinarian of the future will need to adapt and keep pace with technology and the many new advances in medical research. Veterinary medicine, similar to human medicine, is continually confronting change and exploring alternative methods of treatment for animals.

2) Finds it easier to work with small animals.
3) Is a very capable vet.

According to the writer, animals

1) have excellent communication skills.
2) are good at recognising dishonesty and doubt.

When Usain Bolt was a young boy growing up in Jamaica, his parents took him to the doctor because he couldn’t keep still. He was gifted at cricket, his first love. ‘But I just happened to run fast. It was easy and I was winning. And my dad said I should concentrate on running because it’s an individual sport and, if you do good, you do good for yourself.’

Nobody can hold a light to Usain Bolt  — he is a one-off (уни­кум). There’s the size, for a start: 1.96 metres (ideal sprinters are thought to be no more than 1.85 metres). Then there’s the scoliosis, a curved spine which means one leg is shorter than the other. (1)__And the attitude  — at warm-up his rivals look as if they will explode with tension, but Bolt smiles, even dances. And, of course, Bolt is said to be the fastest man ever.

Bolt maintains that he isn’t quite as cool and laid-back as he appears to be. There are things that bother him. (2)__For example, he says he was so uptight before the junior World Championships final  — where he became the youngest gold medallist at the age of fifteen  — that he put his shoes on the wrong feet.

(3)__That’s when Jamaica turned on him. His own people said he was undisciplined, he partied too much.

And yes, he did; but the truth was he was suffering with his spine. People, he says, are quick to criticise.

Bolt arrived in athletics at a time when the profession had lost a lot of respect over drug-taking. Here was a man who looked and acted differently. In 2008, though, he had to beg his coach to let him run the 100 metres at the Beijing Olympics. (4)__Despite that, not only did he win gold but he broke the 100 metre world record. He broke his own record at the 2009 World Championships and went on to win gold in the 2012 London Olympics in the 100 metre and 200 metre races and the relay.

‘The image on the track is that he just turns up and runs but it isn’t true,’ says his manager. ‘He’s very competitive.’ And the thing is, says Bolt, if he weren’t easy-going, he wouldn’t run so fast. He looks a little blank when I ask him what makes him such a good runner. Perhaps his height help., and those huge strides, he suggests. (5)__‘The way his feet move, the way the mechanics are so perfect. Everything is perfect for running.’

I’ve never met a sportsman quite like Bolt. He is opinionated, funny and grounded. I ask him about his ambitions. Eventually, he says, he’d like to make a go of playing football professionally. (6)__‘People say I’m a legend but I’m not until I’ve fulfilled my potential.’

In 2008, though, he had to beg his coach to let him run the 100 metres at the Beijing Olympics. (4)__Despite that, not only did he win gold but he broke the 100 metre world record. He broke his own record at the 2009 World Championships and went on to win gold in the 2012 London Olympics in the 100 metre and 200 metre races and the relay.

‘The image on the track is that he just turns up and runs but it isn’t true,’ says his manager. ‘He’s very competitive.’ And the thing is, says Bolt, if he weren’t easy-going, he wouldn’t run so fast. He looks a little blank when I ask him what makes him such a good runner. Perhaps his height help., and those huge strides, he suggests. (5)__‘The way his feet move, the way the mechanics are so perfect. Everything is perfect for running.’

I’ve never met a sportsman quite like Bolt. He is opinionated, funny and grounded. I ask him about his ambitions. Eventually, he says, he’d like to make a go of playing football professionally. (6)__‘People say I’m a legend but I’m not until I’ve fulfilled my potential.’

1  — But when he trains, he trains very hard.

2  — «I try not to let them, but they do.»

3  — This condition should have made it impossible for him to have a career in sport.

4  — Winning that race changed his whole life, but for much of the next three years he was injured.

When Usain Bolt was a young boy growing up in Jamaica, his parents took him to the doctor because he couldn’t keep still. He was gifted at cricket, his first love. ‘But I just happened to run fast. It was easy and I was winning. And my dad said I should concentrate on running because it’s an individual sport and, if you do good, you do good for yourself.’

Nobody can hold a light to Usain Bolt  — he is a one-off (уни­кум). There’s the size, for a start: 1.96 metres (ideal sprinters are thought to be no more than 1.85 metres). Then there’s the scoliosis, a curved spine which means one leg is shorter than the other. (1)__And the attitude  — at warm-up his rivals look as if they will explode with tension, but Bolt smiles, even dances. And, of course, Bolt is said to be the fastest man ever.

Bolt maintains that he isn’t quite as cool and laid-back as he appears to be. There are things that bother him. (2)__For example, he says he was so uptight before the junior World Championships final  — where he became the youngest gold medallist at the age of fifteen  — that he put his shoes on the wrong feet.

(3)__That’s when Jamaica turned on him. His own people said he was undisciplined, he partied too much.

And yes, he did; but the truth was he was suffering with his spine. People, he says, are quick to criticise.

1  — It took a lot of persuasion because Bolt had been running the distance for less than a year and was surviving on a diet of junk food.

2  — But before that he has more to achieve on the track.

3  — I ask him what’s it like to run so fast, to race the wind.

4  — His manager says he runs like a cheetah.

I’ve been studying French for six years and it’s still such quite difficult to understand native speakers, who often talk too quickly for me. One thing I find it useful is watching French films, which I enjoy doing. The English subtitles help me to pick up the French dialogue.

But when it’s a film that I’ve seen before, I already know how more or less what people are saying so I don’t use the subtitles. I find that the more you listen, the easier it gets. You really know you’re getting somewhere when you just hear the words both and don’t have to translate all the time.
