Task 1
Charlie Chaplin, the world-famous actor, was born in London in 1889. His father died when he was still a child. His mother's life was so hard that she finally went mad.
Chaplin left England for America in 1913. At that time he was only a poor music-hall artist. His future was uncertain, but he was sure it could be better than his past. Not long after he came to America he was working first as a comedian and then as a film director. In 1918 he founded his own studios in Hollywood and began to make his own films. As an independent producer, he planned and put on more than a dozen screen comedies (funny plays) , in which he also played the leading parts.
When he was on a visit to Britain, the American government refused to give him a reentry, for he was considered too left-winged. So in 1948 he decided to make his home in Switzerl
and.
It was not until 1972 that Chaplin was invited to receive an apology and the reward of an Oscar. He was given a hero's welcome and deeply moved by it. Then in 1975, the 86-yearold Chaplin returned to London.

Task 2
Many of the world's population problems have been caused by the crowding of large groups of people into the cities. Supply for the needs of the people leads to further pollution by industry.

It is expected to double by the year 2005. If the population continues to grow at the same rate, there will be 25 billion people in the world a hundred years from now!

The Chang, jiang River is not the longest, the widest, or the most powerful river in the world. But in one sense it is the most important river, because it serves more people than any other river. In every way the Changjiang River is China's life stream.
The Changjiang isn't just a trade river, a high way along which goods are picked up and sent. It is an agricultural river as well. A lot of irrigation ditches go out from it to millions of tiny garden-size farms. There men and women work endlessly with very old hand tools -p
