Make up your own sentences using the words. Text A The Pyramid of the Sun is the most impressive construction on the site of Teotihuacan in Mexico. Built around two thousand years ago by a people whose origins have not been clearly established by archaeologists. Teotihuacan was already in ruins when the Aztecs found it. They gave it the name Teotihuacan, which means ‘place of the gods’, because they believed that only gods could have constructed buildings of such size and magnificence. The centre of the city was formed by a group of temples on either side of a wide, straight road nearly two kilometers long, which the Aztecs called ‘the street of the dead’. The Pyramid of the Sun used for human sacrifice by the Aztecs, who killed as many as 80,000 prisoners a year on the altar to the sun god, tearing their hearts from their bodies, is over 60m high; it has asquare base 220m long on each side. At the other end of ‘the street of the dead’ is the Pyramid of the Moon, built in a similar style but rather smaller (about 40m high and with a base 120m by 150m.) Text B This is the Pyramid of the Sun. It’s the most impressive construction on the site of Teotihuacan. It was built around two thousand years ago but archaeologists haven’t clearly established the origins of the people who built it.
The Aztecs gave it the name Teotihuacan. That means ‘place of the gods’. It was already in ruins when they found it, but they thought that only gods could have constructed such magnificent buildings. The wide road you can see is nearly two kilometers long. It’s absolutely straight, isn’t it? The buildings on either side were temples and this was the center of the city. The Aztecs called the road ‘the street of the dead’. They used the Pyramid of the Sun for human sacrifice. They killed as many as 80,000 prisoners a year on the altar to the sun god. They used to tear their hearts out of their bodies! Horrible, don’t you think? The Pyramid is over 60m high, and the base is square. It’s 220m long on each side. At the other end of ‘the street of the dead’ is the Pyramid of the Moon. It was built in a similar style but it’s not quite so large. It’s about 40m high and its base is 120m by 150m. Exercise 2 Write out all irregular verbs, give their forms and learn them by heart, use them in your own sentences. Exercise 3 Prepare the highlighted words for a dictation. Use them in your own sentences. Exercise 4 Translate into English. Теотиуакан Город Теотиуакан возник на том месте, где, по преданию родился бог Солнца. Над священной пещерой в Iв.н.э. построили огромную пирамиду Солнца, а вокруг нее вырос культовый ансамбль. В период наивысшего рассвета в Теотиуакане жило около 200 тыс. человек. Это был один из самых крупных городов в мире. Богатые люди селились ближе к храму, а земледельцы и ремесленники жили на окраине, в хижинах. Теотиуакан был разрушен в 750 г.н.э., а все его жители покинули город. Но храм солнца остался местом паломничества. Несколько веков спустя на этом же месте вырос ацтекский город Теночтитлан.

Unit 2 Seven Wonders of the Ancient World Exercise 1 Do you know the Seven Wonders of the World? What are they? Exercise 2 Test your general knowledge! 1. Who built the Great Pyramid? 2. Where is the Great Pyramid? 3. What is the city of Babylon famous for? 4. Why did King Nebuchadnezzar plant the gardens on the tops of the walls? 5. Who built the statue of Zeus? 6. What was the temple to the goddess Diana remarkable for? 7. What is the Tomb of King Mausolus? Exercise 3 Read the text and name the Wonders. Check your answers. *1* In ancient times, long before there were great machines to help him, man showed that he was a clever builder. Some of the things built long ago were so remarkable that they are called the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The Seven Wonders were the Great Pyramid, the Handing Gardens of Babylon, the Statue of Zeus at Olympia, the Temple of Diana, the Tomb of King Mausolus, the Colossus of Rhodes, and the Lighthouse of Alexandria. First to be built of the Seven Wonders was the Great Pyramid. The Pyramid was a tomb which King Khufu of Egypt had built for him self. It was made of more than 2 million huge blocks of limestone, each weighing about 3 tons. The Pyramid was as high as a 40-storey building. Many thousands of slaves worked to pull the big blocks to their proper places. After the blocks had all been set in place, the Pyramid was covered with a facing of fine white limestone. Although it was the first of the Seven Wonders to be built, the Great Pyramid is the only one of the seven still standing. A large part of the limestone facing has been removed, but the main part of the Pyramid is as solid as when it was built more than 4,500 years ago. It is at Giza, not far from the present big city of Cairo.
*2* Twenty-five hundred years ago, the city of Babylon, in the land of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, was famous for its towering walls. The whole city was surrounded by walls. Other walls surrounded the palace of the king. Ancient writings tell that on the tops of the walls protecting the king's palace there were gardens even more wonderful than the walls themselves. The gardens were called the Handing Gardens of Babylon. King Nebuchadnezzar, it is said, had them planted to please his wife, who missed the trees and flowers around her former home in the mountains. *3* Zeus was one of the Greek gods. At Olympia in Greece the famous sculptor Phideas built a statue of him some 24 centuries ago. The statue was covered with thin sheets of ivory and gold. The eyes were jewels. This statue lasted for hundreds of years. *4* About 400 BC a marble temple was built at Ephesus, in Asia Minor, to the goddess Diana. The temple was remarkable for its great pillars. After standing for about 600 years it was looted and badly damaged by barbarians. *5* When Mausolus, the king of a part of Asia, died, a tomb was built for him at Halicarnassus in Asia Minor. This tomb was not nearly as large as the Great Pyramid, but it is supposed to have been the most beautiful tomb built in ancient times. It was more than 100 feet high. At the top there was a statue of a chariot drawn by prancing horses. Two figures in the chariot were supposedly King Mausolus and the queen. This tomb built in 353 BC remained standing for about 1,900 years. It was then destroyed by an earthquake, but it was so famous that the word «mausoleum» came to be a word for tomb. *6* In 280 BC the people of Rhodes, a city on an island in the Aegean Sea, had a great statue built to celebrate a victory. The statue, called the Colossus, was at the entrance to the harbour at Rhodes. Some claim that the statue stood astride the harbour entrance. The Colossus of Rhodes was destroyed by an earthquake in 224 BC, after it had stood only 56 years. *7* The Lighthouse of Alexandria in Egypt guarded a harbour, too. It was a stone tower about 400 feet nigh. On its top bonfires burned to warn sailors that there were rocks near by. The Lighthouse, built before 250 BC, lasted for more than 1,500 years.
Exercise 4 Use English words instead of Russian ones. Translate into Russian. 1. Many thousands of (рабов) worked to pull the big blocks to their proper places. 2. The whole city was (окружен) by walls. 3. The statue of Zues was covered with thin sheets of (слоновой кости золота) 4.

At Olympia in Greece the famous sculptor Phideas built a statue of Zues. 3. It was made of more than 2 million huge blocks of limestone. 4. Two figures in the chariot were King Mausolus and the queen. Exercise 6 Replace the underlined words and phrases in the postcard with a word or phrase from the list.

The weather is not good, but there are plenty of things to do. There are a few cafés near the hotel where I play cards and chat with other tourists. I’ve met a lovely girl from Madrid who is taking me to a great new club tomorrow. The nightlife is interesting – so different from at home. I’m always really tired in the morning after so much going out – I’ll need a holiday after this! Best wishes
