Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Комарова, Ларионова 9 класс, Русское слово: Reading
1 Read the text. Why is 16th June a significant day? Give three reasons.
James Joyce
Ireland’s literary hero
If you ever find yourself in the centre of Dublin on 16th June, you might be surprised to see a lot of people wearing very old-fashioned clothes. That’s because this is ‘Bloomsday — an annual celebration of the life of James Joyce. Joyce was a famous Irish author who wrote poems, short stories and autobiographical novels. On this day every year, people from all around the world come to Dublin to remember him.
One of Joyce’s most famous books is Ulysses. The protagonist of this novel is called Leopold Bloom, and that’s why people celebrate ‘Bloomsday’. The novel describes in detail the events of one single day: 16th June 1904. In real life, this was a very important day for James Joyce. It was the day he met the woman who later became his wife — Nora Barnacle. Although James Joyce wrote all his books about Ireland, he and Nora didn’t stay there. Their spirit of adventure took them to Italy, Switzerland and France. They were living in Paris when the Second World War began. James Joyce died about a year later, in 1941. Joyce’s work has inspired writers of every generation since then, and Ulysses is considered to be one of the great classics of 20th century literature.

Текст аудирования:
Well, now that we’ve seen James Joyce’s famous places in Dublin, here we are outside the house of another well-known Irish writer. This is where Bram Stoker was born — the author of the famous horror story ‘Dracula’. As well as writing ‘Dracula’, Stoker also wrote short stories and non-fiction, as well as more than ten other novels.
Bram Stoker was born here in Dublin in 1847, and he lived in this house with his parents and six brothers and sisters. In fact, he spent the first seven years of his life in bed here in this house, ’cause he was ill when he was a child. Fortunately he got better and he went on to study maths at university here in the city. But Bram Stoker’s real passion was the theatre. He wrote theatre reviews for a newspaper here, and one day he met a famous actor called Henry Irving.
Stoker and Irving became good friends, and they started working together in London. In fact, Bram Stoker was Henry Irving’s Personal Assistant, so when Henry went on tour, Bram travelled the world with him as well.
Bram Stoker died in 1912, and the first film based on his novel ‘Dracula’ was made ten years later. It was a silent film called ‘Nosferatu’ — do you know it? Since then, they’ve made loads of Dracula films — I think there are more than a hundred different ones now. Have you seen any of them?
