No pain, no gain David Simmons comes from London, but he is in China now for three months. He's a
student at the Dengfeng Kung Fu School. David speaks Chinese a little but he has no problem
with this because teachers can speak English too. At this school he gets up at five o'clock and
starts training immediately. First they train their legs, arms and stomachs. They run up and
down 1,0000 steps and do press ups. The training is very, very hard. They practice hitting
with their hands and kicking with their feet. Then they have lunch and a long rest. In the
afternoon they train with sticks and swords. At six o'clock they have dinner - rice and soup –
then they go to bed. When David goes back to Britain he wants to teach people Kung Fu. He
also wants to appear in films as Kung Fu fighter!
Task 1. Read the text below and answer the questions.
1. Where did David come from?
2. What time does he wake up?
3. During training, which parts of the body are trained first?
4. How does he train on the afternoon?

when the time for the next elections came, it was clear that the most important question would be slavery. there were four candidates, but a northerner called abraham lincoln won the election. in his inaugural address lincoln warned the southerners that they shouldn't destroy the union of the states, but they didn't listen. in february 1861 eleven southern states formed their own union, which was called the confederacy, but abraham lincoln wouldn't let them split up the country. and so the civil war began.  the north (their army was called the union army) was actually more powerful than the south: as you remember, they had more men, and their factories produced weapons and supplied the northern army with everything it needed. but the confederacy had one big advantage: they didn't have to invade the north, they just had to protect their own land and homes. at that time a lot of people thought that it would be possible. so at first, the  confederacy had more luck; their men were better trained and fought with more spirit. just as in the revolutionary war, americans from the south were once again fighting for their independence. the union soldiers were getting tired. after they lost some important  battles, the anti-slavery idea wasn't enough to inspire them any more. the southerners felt that just one more big victory would be enough to win the war.
