Чтение с разной направленностью - одно из важных умений, которое мы, учителя английского языка, стараемся развить у ребенка в процессе изучения языка. 
Тексты могут содержать некоторое колическтво незнакомыз слов, что позволяет развивать дополнительно языковую догадку, исходя их контекста. Целесообразно предлагать намеренно тексты с некоторым количеством незнакомых слов, тем самым показывая ребенку необходимость аналитически подходить к грамматическому строю языка, в том числе... 

 

Weather can affect the people's lives greatly.  The article below describes an extreme natural event.

EUROPE

Deep Freeze

The harshest winter weather in a decade lashes Europe, disrupting travel by air, land and sea — and claims the lives of hundreds.

 

By David Gordon                                                                  

The new year made a stormy entrance last week, lashing the  Continent with  the severest cold snap in a decade. Snow, ice and subfreezing   temperatures   spelled chaos, and sometimes deaths, from the Mediterranean to the Urals. More  than  220 deaths mostly among the home-less and the elderly,  were reported as far south as Valencia, Spain.

Travel became a Homeric task. In the Caucasus, an avalanche  (лавина) sealed  (окру жить кольцом) 300 people in a mountain tunnel connecting Russia and Georgia for days. Air  traffic  was  disrupted  as was   train   travel.    A   Paris bound Eurostar train carrying some 500 passengers got stuck in the Chunnel for more than two  hours,  its  engine stalled(останавливать) by snow.  Ice clogged river traffic   on   the   Loire,   Elbe, Main  and Danube.  Even Eng land's Thames* froze in plac­es  for   the   first   time   since 1963.                                      The   brutal   weather   put   a damper on New Year celebrations. Those who booked holiday trips to resorts on the Adriatic found snow,    not   sun,    on   beaches. Parisians ice-skated in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower early in the  week,  but  by  New  Year's   Day the city was a ghost town as its citizens hid from the chill.    In    London,    the freeze even muzzled the chimes of Big Ben for a few hours on New Year's Eve. cold  snap didn't spoil all the fun.  In London, brave bathers  still  took  the  annual New Year's Day dip in   Hyde  Park's  Serpentine. 

And in the   Netherlands, some 16,000   Dutch   donned   (надевать) ice skates Saturday for a 200-kilometer race  across  the frozen   lakes   and   canals   in Friesland. That's marking the best of a bitter situation.
