___ Task 1 Reading. Read the text about transportation.

Transport played and plays a great role in people’s life. It helps move from one country to another for different needs.

In the past, people didn’t have cars, trains, and other transport, so they walked everywhere, carried goods and things on themselves. They were tired of heavy bags, but then they started using animals to carry objects. They used such animals as horses, donkeys, camels, and elephants. Then they invented wooden carts and used animals to carry them.

But there were not only land ways of travelling, but also water ones. Until the 19th century, the main way between Asia and the Western world was through oceans and seas. People build and developed ports and harbours. They used amazing ships to travel to different countries, to move from one fascinating country to another, and to exchange goods with other countries. But those ships hadn’t got engines, they used the power of the wind. Now we can read a lot of frightening stories about pirates and monsters from that time.

Nowadays we continue using ships for the same purposes, but now they are safer and much more developed. Modern ships have engines and comfortable conditions. We use the old-fashioned ships as museums or sights.

Of course, we like our means of transportation as they are comfortable and save our time. But transport system in the past was eco-friendlier than in the present.

Robin Hood is a legendary hero of England. He lived in the twelfth century. The legend said Robin Hood lived in Sherwood Forest with his merry men.

Robin Hood and his merry men took money from the rich and gave it to the poor. There are many stories about them. Here is one of them.

One day Robin Hood was walking through the Forest with his men when he saw a young man. The young man was wearing a very fine red coat and singing merrily. The next morning Robin Hood saw the same young man without his fine coat. The young man was looking very sad. Robin Hood sent Little John to bring the young man. When the young man came to Robin Hood the latter asked him, "What is your name?" The young man answered that his name was Allan-a-Dale. Then Robin Hood asked:"Have you any money?" AIlan-a-Dale answered, "I have only five shillings and a ring that I have kept for seven years. I wanted to marry a nice young girl. Yesterday I went to marry her, but her father is against it. He wants to marry her to a rich old man. Now I am unhappy."

Robin Hood asked the young man: "What will you give me and my merry men if we help you to get your girl back again?" Allan-a-Dale had neither money nor gold, but he promised to be Robin Hood's true servant. So Robin Hood decided to help Allan-a-Dale and they all went to the town where the girl lived. When they came to the town they saw the girl Allan loved. She was going into the church with the rich old man. Robin Hood and his men went into the church and asked the priest to marry the girl to Allan-a-Dale.

When the priest refused, Robin Hood pulled off the priest's coat and put it on Little John. So Little John married the young people and they returned together to the merry Greenwood.
