Рекомендую кое-что к прочтению перед Рождеством (а оно уже очень близко😌). С одной стороны, это, наверное, самая грустная рождественская история. С другой стороны, как по мне одна из самых глубоких.
The Little Match Girl. Пдфка доступна бесплатно при певром же гугл запросе на английском. Буквально 3 страницы. Оригинальный текст (а точнее перевод на английский этой истории) потянут очень хорошие B1, ну все кто выше. Множестве зимнего и рождественского вокабуляра. Не меньше тоски и хтони.
Вот репрезентативный отрывок, чтобы оценить силы: Thousands of lights were burning on the green branches, and gaily-colored pictures, such as she had seen in the shop-windows, looked down upon her. The little maiden stretched out her hands towards them when… the match went out. The lights of the Christmas tree rose higher and higher, she saw them now as stars in heaven; one fell down and formed a long trail of fire.

"Your messages about the movement of the enemy through the official chatbot … bring new trophies every day," the government agency tweeted. "There are a lot of things that Telegram could have been doing this whole time. And they know exactly what they are and they've chosen not to do them. That's why I don't trust them," she said. Pavel Durov, a billionaire who embraces an all-black wardrobe and is often compared to the character Neo from "the Matrix," funds Telegram through his personal wealth and debt financing. And despite being one of the world's most popular tech companies, Telegram reportedly has only about 30 employees who defer to Durov for most major decisions about the platform. Emerson Brooking, a disinformation expert at the Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab, said: "Back in the Wild West period of content moderation, like 2014 or 2015, maybe they could have gotten away with it, but it stands in marked contrast with how other companies run themselves today." In 2014, Pavel Durov fled the country after allies of the Kremlin took control of the social networking site most know just as VK. Russia's intelligence agency had asked Durov to turn over the data of anti-Kremlin protesters. Durov refused to do so.
