1. Grammar theme.

Today’s our grammar theme is “Articles”. An article is a word that is used with a noun to indicate the type of reference being made by the noun. Articles are usually characterized as either definite or indefinite.

A definite article indicates that its noun is a particular one identifiable to the listener. It may be something that the speaker has already mentioned, or it may be something uniquely specified. The definite article in English, for both singular and plural nouns, isthe. Example: The children know the fastest way home.

An indefinite article indicates that its noun is not a particular one identifiable to the listener. English uses a/an, from the Old English forms of the number 'one', as its primary indefinite article. The form an is used before words that begin with a vowel sound, and abefore words that begin with a consonant sound. Example: She had a house so large that an elephant would get lost without a map.

The plateau Usturt of Kazakhstan, located between Caspian and Aral seas, is a slightly hilly deserted plain, faintly covered by a wormwood; only in widely widespread hollows are black haloxylons. Unique beauty of a landscape give steep benches – chinks. Only in Kazakhstan live such rare animals as Transcaspian urial, long-needle hedgehog and some wild cats: caracal and desert cat. In the Altai mountains of Kazakhstan, covered with taiga woods you will meet a giant moose, beautiful deer, our smallest deer – musk deer, famous sable, chipmunk.

On high-mountainous lake Markakol in Southern Altai of Kazakhstan was founded a national park for protection of flora and fauna, especially of fishes. On lakes there are a lot of waterfowl birds. And in the woods on its coast were kept nesting-places of such rare birds as fish hawk and black stork; at tops are living very rare here snow ***.

The steppes of Kazakhstan are magnificent. The special charm to them is given by fresh and salty lakes, on which are thousands of waterfowls and coastal birds submitted tens kinds of ducks, geese, gull, sea swallow, herons.
