‘My life is my message’ Gandhi
In India he is remembered as ‘the father of the nation’ and he is famous the world over for his belief in peace and non-violent protest. Gandhi believed that people have the power to achieve positive change by walking the path of peaceful resistance. It’s a path Gandhi walked all his life..
Gandhi was born Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi in India on 2nd October, 1869 into a merchant family. When he was 19, Gandhi broke with tradition and left India to study Law in London. Then, in 1891, he accepted a job at an Indian law firm in Durban, South Africa, where he remained for twenty years. Gandhi was shocked by the discrimination against Indian immigrants in South Africa and headed a campaign for their civil rights. During this time, Gandhi developed his principle of ‘satyagraha’ which means ‘devotion to truth’ through non-violent action. Gandhi was sent to prison many times for leading peaceful campaigns of civil disobedience. Before he left the country, though, the South African government made many of the changes he had called for. In 1914, Gandhi returned to a troubled India which was occupied by the British Empire. Gandhi felt that India could never truly be free as long as it remained under British rule. He wanted to work towards Indian independence and create greater understanding between all classes and religious faiths across the country. In 1919, he joined the new Indian National Congress Party and launched a policy of peaceful noncooperation with the British, including a boycott of British goods and institutions. One of Gandhi’s most famous protests was against the tax on salt imposed by the British authorities. He led thousands of people on a 320 km ‘march to the sea’ to make their own salt from seawater. Because of his various campaigns, Gandhi was imprisoned four times: in 1922,1930,1933 and 1942.
Nevertheless, as a result of Gandhi’s talks and negotiations with the British government, India won independence in 1947. However, there remained fierce tension between different religious groups in the country. On 30th January 1948, Gandhi, then aged 78, was assassinated. The assassin could not accept Gandhi’s belief that all faiths were of equal value. Gandhi was on his way to a prayer meeting when he was shot three times in the chest.
Gandhi maintained his life-long belief in peace, non-violence and that all people were created equally. His beliefs informed all areas of his life; in meetings he always wore the simple clothes of an Indian villager, while the politicians around him dressed in formal suits. He also followed a vegetarian diet and lived a simple life. In India, he was called ‘Mahatma’ Gandhi which means ‘great soul’. There, his birthday is celebrated as an official holiday and also as an international day of non-violence. Gandhi spoke to everybody, everywhere when he said, «Be the change you want to see.» And indeed, his achievements remain an inspiration to people all over the world; his life truly was his message.

Текст аудирования:
Presenter: Now, if you’re thinking about taking a gap year but you’re not sure what to do with it, our next guest may be able to help you. Welcome, Amy.
Amy: Hello.
Presenter: First of all, Amy, why did you decide to take a gap year?
Amy: Because I felt like I’d had enough of formal education, in short. By the time I’d sat my high school exams, I needed a break from studying. Also, I’d never had a job, so I wanted to get some work experience. Presenter: So did you go abroad for that, like most gap year students?
Amy: Not straight away. I knew I wanted to go to Africa to work as a conservation volunteer. I had a friend who did it and she said that it was the best experience of her life, so I wanted to do the same thing. The problem was, the programme was pretty expensive, so I decided to fund myself by working for a while in the UK first.
Presenter: Was it easy to find something?
Amy: Reasonably. I registered with an employment agency. I said I would be happy to do any kind of office work. Before long, I was getting work covering for sick office workers: answering telephones and data entry work — that sort of thing. It was quite tedious but it was good for my CV, definitely.
Presenter: And did you succeed in saving enough money to get you to Africa?
Amy: It took more than half of my gap year, but I got there in the end!
Presenter: And did you enjoy it as much as your friend?
Amy: Oh, for someone like me who loves wildlife, it was a dream come true. Just living on a South African game reserve is an experience. We’d wake up to the sound of so many birds and often we’d hear lions roaring while in bed at night. The work involved following and observing big cats like lions and cheetahs. I even helped to fit a monitoring collar on a cheetah one day.
Presenter: Wow! What was the downside to it?
Amy: The accommodation was quite basic and there wasn’t much privacy. The volunteers on the project lived in a farmhouse and nobody has their own room. There was no electricity and the showers were always cold. But actually all those things did me good. Now I really appreciate everything I have here in the UK. Presenter: What would you say you learned from the experience?
Amy: So many things! A lot of teamwork skills, in particular. I also learnt how to use technology I’d never even seen before, like walkie talkies and a GPS. I learnt basic first aid, too. Oh, and I even got a little teaching experience at a local school.
Presenter: It sounds wonderful. If you’d like to learn more about the project Amy took part in, visit our website.

Grammar & Vocabulary — Task 2
Swimming is much easier to learn as a child than as an adult. Children are better able to relax and float in the pool, whereas grown-ups have had more time to develop a fear of the water. However, swimming teachers often say that teaching adults is the most rewarding part of their job. That’s because they’re so grateful of what the teacher does for them after so many years of unease around water. Not surprisingly, people who have suffered frightening water-related experiences like near-drownings usually take longer to become confident in the water than others. Swimming teachers need to ensure they teach such pupils at their own pace and that they never feel forced to do something that makes them feel uncomfortable.
Writing
Dear Jerome,
Thanks for your letter. I’m not studying a foreign language at the moment, but I used to learn English and I’d like to improve it again soon.
I think it’s better to study a language in a classroom with other students because you can practise speaking, ask questions and learn from each other. However, a tutor at home can also be useful if you need more individual help.
If I had the chance to live abroad for two years, I would go to Spain. I love the language, the culture and the weather there.
Write back soon!
Best wishes,
[Your name]
Speaking — Task 3
People study foreign languages for many reasons. First of all, it helps them communicate with people from other countries when they travel, work or study abroad. It also gives them better job opportunities and helps them understand other cultures.
Today young people are more interested in learning foreign languages than in the past because the world is more connected. They use the Internet, watch films and listen to music in different languages, so they see the practical value of language learning every day.
I once realised how useful a foreign language can be when I was on holiday and needed to ask for directions. Thanks to my English, I could speak to local people and solve the problem quickly. That made me understand that knowing a language is really important in real life.
