1. Read about this very strange hotel, translate the text in written form, and then
answer the True/False questions.
What would your life be like if you were Albert Einstein. What clothes would be
in your wardrobe if you were Marilyn Monroe? Or Madonna?
Well now you can discover the answer to all these questions and many more at
the Fame Hotel in California. Ten miles outside Los Angeles, the Fame Hotel promises to
answer the question "What if?". When you check into the hotel, you choose a room.
Each room has a name. There's Clint Eastwood on the second floor and Elvis Presley on
the third floor. In total, the Fame Hotel has 32 rooms, most of which are named after
stars of Hollywood or music. But there are also famous writers (Mark Twain and Agatha
Christie) and even some scientists and sports stars, such as Mike Tyson.
When you enter the room, you enter the life of that person. There are pictures
everywhere. The owner of the hotel has tried to fill the room with objects, clothes, even
food that he thinks the stars would have liked. Marilyn Monroe's wardrobe is full of
beautiful white dresses, Albert Einstein doesn't have any socks in his wardrobe because
the real Einstein never wore them! If you choose Mike Tyson's room, you'll be able to
practice boxing in one corner of the room. And there's even a skipping rope too!
I spoke to one guest staying in the Elvis Presley room. "I love this hotel," he said
to me. "I wanted to know 'What would Elvis Presley eat for breakfast?' and now I know".
That guest eats pancakes and strawberry ice cream every morning, just as Elvis liked to
do. On the next table, the Einstein room's guest is eating cabbage soup!
The company plans to open another Fame Hotel in New York next year and there
are plans to expand into Europe too. I look forward to staying in the Winston Churchill
suite in London!

Cum ar fi fost viața ta,dacă erai Albert Einstein.Ce haine ar fi fost în garderoba ta dacă erai
Marilyn Monroe.Sau Madonna?
Acum poți afla răspunsul la toate aceste întrebări și multe altele la hotelul Fame din
California.Zece mile distanță de Los Angeles,hotelul Fame promite să răspundă la întrebarea “Ce
ar fi dacă? “.Când te înregistrezi la hotel,alegi o camera.Fiecare camera are un nume.Acolo este
Clint Eastwood la al doilea etaj și Elvis Presley la al treilea etaj.În total,hotelul Fame are 32 de
camera,majoritatea cărora sunt numite după vedetele Hollywood-ului sau muzicii.Dar acolo sunt
de asemenea și scriitori celebri(Mark Twain și Agatha Christie) și chiar câțiva oameni de știință
și vedete ale sportului,cum ar fi Mike Tyson.
Când intri în cameră,tu intri in viața acelei persoane.Acolo sunt poze peste tot.Proprietarul
hotelului a încercat să umple camera cu obiecte,haine,chiar și mâncare,ce după părerea lui,le-ar fi
plăcut vedetelor.Garderoba Marilynei Monroe e plină cu rochii albe frumoase,Albert Einstein nu
are deloc șosete în garderoba sa,pentru că,adevăratul Einstein nu le purta niciodată!Dacă tu alegi
camera lui Mike Tyson,vei avea posibilitatea să boxezi într-un colț al camerei.Și acolo este chiar
și o coardă!
Am vorbit cu unul dintre invitații care stătea în camera lui Elvis Presley.”Îmi place foarte mult
acest hotel”,mi-a zis el.”Am vrut să știu ‘Ce ar fi mâncat Elvis Presley la micul dejun?’și acum
știu”.Acel oaspete mănâncă în fiecare dimineață clătite și înghețată de căpșune,la fel cum îi
plăcea lui Elvis să facă.La următoarea masă,oaspetele din camera lui Einstein manâncă supă de
varză!
Compania planifică să deschidă un alt hotel Fame în New York,anul viitor,are de asemenea în
plan să se extindă și în Europa.De abia aștept să stau în suita lui Winston Churchill din Londra!

8. Conversation. Speak on:

1) My specialty.
2) Cultural life in Moldova (concerts, competitions, exhibitions, festivals, performances)
3) Young people and their problems.
4) Mass media and its role in society.
5) A remarkable personality in Moldova.

Art is a diverse range of human activities involving the creation of visual, auditory or performing
artworks, which express the creator's imagination, conceptual ideas, or technical skill, intended
to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power. Currently, I’m studying at the
“Academia de Muzica, Teatru si Arte Plastice” from Chisinau and I hope that in four years I will
be an actress who developed and will develop to reach her goals. In my opinion, acting is not
about being emotional,but being able to fully express emotions that may change some lives.
Firstly,I would like to write about the culture of the Republic of Moldova which represents a
large gamut of cultural activities such as literature, theatre, music, fine arts, architecture,
cinematography and so on.The Republic of Moldova has a total of 22 theatrical performance
institutions.Also,there are a lot of great festivals,one of them is “Martisor Music Festival” .This
music festival starts in Moldova along with spring season.This festival has been a part of this
country for over half a century now.Be it classical music, folklore, modern dance or the
traditional ones, almost all sorts of dance and music forms can be experienced here during this
festival.
Secondly,I’d like to mention about what young people are struggling with nowadays.To my
mind,one of the most common problem for us is the lack of understanding from our parents in
the first place and from the society in the second.For example,when I have told my family
about what I wanted to do after I finish school they were not as happy as I was,that is why for
me it was very hard to decide whether I should or not follow my dreams.

Thirdly,we already know that mass media plays a very important role in organizing public
opinion. Millions of people watch TV and read newspapers in their free time or just search for
something on the internet.Mass media can be used for various purposes: advocacy, both for
business and social concerns. This can include advertising, marketing, propaganda, public
relations, and political communication. Entertainment, traditionally through performances of
acting, music, and sports, along with light reading. The Internet has recently become another
important source of information. Its main advantage is that news appears on the screen as soon
as things happen in real life and you don't have to wait for news time on TV. We spend a lot of
time on mass media,that is why it has a major impact on us,we think and do what we see there.

Finally, I want to highlight a remarkable personality from Moldova.Svetlana Toma is a Moldovan

actress.She debuted at the Moldova-Film studio in 1966. She worked in Moldova and
Russia.She is a good example for the young people who want to persevere in acting.

In conclusion, I can say that even if we live in a country such as Moldova,wich is considered to
not give you opportunities or choices,you need to do what you think is right and appreciate art.
