of the best-known art galleries in the world. It was founded in 1824 and houses one of the most important collections of Italian paintings outside Italy. It is
also famous for its Dutch collection, particularly for paintings by Rembrandt.
The National Portrait Gallery is situated near the National Gallery. It is Britain’s leading art gallery of portraits of famous people in
British history. The National Portrait Gallery is
noted for representing various kinds of portraits - from traditional oil paintings to
photographs. Founded in 1856, in 1984 it contained over 800 original portraits and more than
500 000 photographs.
The famous Tate Gallery was
opened in 1897 with the financial
support of Sir Henry Tate. He also gave a collection of 65
paintings. The Gallery contains a
unique collection of British painting from the 16th century to
the present day. Turner and Blake are particularly

and modern sculpture.
Victoria and Albert Museum is
a collection of fine and applied
arts. It contains a great collection of miniature,
too. It was opened in 1857 and was
named after Queen Victoria and her husband, Prince Albert.
The British Museum was
founded in 1753. It contains one of the
world’s richest collections of antiquities. It also houses the main
collection covering the history of plants,
minerals and the animal world. There is also the Reading room of the British
Library in the museum.
There is a number of museums
in London which are neither art museums or galleries. Nevertheless, they attract tourists from different
parts of Great Britain and of the world. You are sure to know about Madame
Tusseau’s Museum. It contains hundreds of wax
figures which are sculpture
portraits of famous
personalities - political
figures, painters, musicians, sportsmen and even criminals. The Museum of London

the history of cinema.
In other words, any visitor
can find a museum to his taste in
London.

Shortly after that, she left for New

some time and then began to get interested in pop music. She learned to play
the guitar and write songs. She began to develop her own musical style, mixing
the sounds and rhythms of rock'n'roll, pop and dance music. Then, in 1983, she
produced a record of her own. It was called "Madonna".
The first album attracted the
attention of disc jockeys and dance clubs. By 1984, it was known across the
USA. She quickly became recognized as one of the top talents in popular music.
More successful records followed, as well as national and world tours. Young
people around the world loved her songs, like "Vogue" and "Like
a Player" and they bought millions of copies. Since then, Madonna has

Aisha
I love clothes and shopping. I would describe my look as 'stylish'. I like
designer labels and I would never wear torn or baggy clothes — too scruffy! My
favourite clothe are my black, knee-length trousers, my striped shirt and my
flat, pointed boots. They're really cool. Lots of people my age wear jeans,
T-shirts and woolly hats — no way!
Eddie
I like clothes, but I don't buy designer stuff, I suppose my style is
'casual'. I wear jeans most of the time when I 'm not at school. I like
T-shirts and sweatshirts, but I don't wear a hoodie very often. My favourite
clothes are my jeans, a T-shirt my brother brought me from New York, trainers
and my leather jacket. I think it's a cool look — not formal.
Lynn
I love sports and being outside, so I never wear formal clothes. I'm a
skateboarder, so my favourite clothes'are skater fashion. I wear baggy T-shirts
and baggy, torn jeans, and boots. I never wear coats or jackets because I live
nin my hoodie. When it's really cold, I also wear a blackwoolly hat. I think
it's very cool and trendy. My mum says I look scruffy, but I like my look.
Vikram
People at my school say I 'm trendy. I'd say I have an alternative style. I
like street fashion more than designer labels. At the moment my favourite
clothes are my tight black denim jeans, pointed boots, a white shirt and a
striped, silk waistcoat. I sometimes wear hats, too, but never baseball caps or
woolly hats. My parents would like me to be smart, but I think clothes should
be fun.

Нове правило...
Irregular Verbs
Неправильні дієслова в англійській мові
Неправильні дієслова англійської мови
відрізняються від правильних тим, що мають свої особливі форми для Past Simple (простого минулого
часу).
Таким
чином, загальновживаним способом утворення форми минулого часу стало
додавання закінчення -ed до основи дієслова. Тим не менш,
деякі дієслова не піддалися мовним змінам та протистояли спрощенню, тому зберегли
свої старі форми відмінювання навіть у сучасній англійській мові. Саме цьому
такі дієслова й назвали неправильними дієсловами
англійської мови.
На
жаль, не існує єдиного правила для утворення форм неправильних дієслів, тому
їхні форми слід запам'ятовувати.
Тому
пам’ятаймо про таблицю
неправильних дієслів!
Past Simple шукаємо у другій
колонці!
Коли
утворюємо заперечення або питання, неправильне дієслово рухається з другої
колонки в першу.
Пам’ятаймо про допоміжне
дієслово did у питальній формі, яке
ставиться перед підметом.
А
також did not (didn’t) у заперечній формі,
котре ставиться після підмета.
Вчимося:
He played football yesterday.
(play – правильне дієслово, тому додали
закінчення –ed)
Did he play football yesterday?
Yes, he did. (No, he didn’t)
He did not (didn’t) play football yesterday.
She went to school last week.
(went – неправильне дієслово, дивимось у
табличку неправильних дієслів (ІІ колонка), початкова форма go)
Did she go
to school last week?
Yes, she did. (No, she did not.)
She did not (didn’t) go to
school last week.
