Task 1. Read about a famous writer, the author of The hobbit and The Lord of the rings. Then do the task below.
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was a famous British writer. He is best known for his fantasy books ‘The Hobbit’ and ‘The Lord of the Rings”. Tolkien was born on 3rd January 1892, in South Africa. When he was four years old, the family moved to England in 1900 He was very good at languages. He studied not only Latin and Greek, but also Gothic and Finnish. After the war, Tolkien taught English language and literature at the University of Leeds.
Later he became a professor at Oxford University. There he started a writing group called The Inklings. One of the members of this group was C.S. Lewis (‘The Chronicles of Narnia’), who became one of Tolkien’s closest friends. They shared great enthusiasm for the myths, sagas, and languages of northern Europe.
In 1937, Professor Tolkien published “The Hobbit”, with his own drawings. He wrote it as bedtime stories for his own children. The book became immediately successful and the publisher asked Tolkien if he had more material. It took him seventeen years to publish “The Lord of the Rings,” in1954. The Lord of the Rings was written for older children, the same audience who had grown up since “The Hobbit” was published. As it was quite a big story it had to be published in three parts. It became a global bestseller at once.

7. No, I didn't
I have got a robot. Its name is Robert, or Rob for short.
My robot has got a silver-grey head, arms and legs. Its body and hands are white. It hasn't got any feet. He has got small wheels instead. Rob isn't very tall, but its arms can reach even the highest shelves in our home.
Rob can understand our speech and respond our commands. It helps us save a lot of time because it does the housework. Rob can wash the dishes, clean the rooms, vacuum rugs and carpets and serve food.
Rob also plays games with me and helps me to study. So my robot is a great helper!
