1. a. Look at the picture taken at the IHS. What kind of event is the IHS? Read the article and check your ideas.

Do you know what the toaster, the microwave, the vacuum cleaner, the electric kettle and lawn mower have in common? They were all introduced at the Ideal Home Show. At first, an annual event held at the Olympia exhibition centre, nowadays it has two editions – Spring and Christmas in London, Scotland and China. The Royal Family has always taken an interest in this very British show; HRH Queen Elizabeth II has visited it eleven times! The show is also popular with other celebrities, both as visitors and speakers. Its goal is to bring together everything associated with having an ideal home, such as the latest inventions for the modern house, and to show the latest housing designs.

Imagine what it was like when the show first opened its doors. It is 1908 and the UK’s first skyscraper the Royal Liver Building in Liverpool is being built. Most of the British public rent their homes, but mass production methods are changing society and improving their living standards. For the first time people’s dream of owning a home is becoming a step closer to reality.

The first exhibition had sections dedicated to phases of home life such as construction, food and cookery, furniture and decoration. Demonstrations and contests included an Arts and Crafts competition and a competition to design the “ideal home” that tried to predict future house styles and technologies not yet available.

In the early days, visitors were amazed by the full size houses that were built at the show and wowed by the fantastic gardens that were constructed. Throughout the 1930s the show became even more famous for introducing new inventions that we now take for granted. In 1960, one exhibit A home in space was visited by 200,000 people. Whole villages were built throughout the 1970s and 1980s and by the 1990s architects were invited to enter a competition to have a house built at the show. Green issues were addressed as far back as 1989 when the first green kitchen was shown. In 1997 a rainforest was created and visitors could experience a tropical downpour every hour from the shelter of a tree house. In 2008, people could take a trip down memory lane and see some of the highlights of the last century in the Century Street.

In the 21^st century, the show continues to bring the latest and brightest ideas and inspiration (and of course fantastic shopping) to the hundreds of thousands of visitors that continue to enjoy the biggest and best home show in the business – the Ideal Home Show!

1. b.

I would like to see the created rainforest exhibit because it sounds like a unique and immersive experience.

Перевод:

1. a. IHS (Ideal Home Show) - это ежегодное мероприятие, которое объединяет все, что связано с идеальным домом, например, последние изобретения для современного дома, и демонстрирует новейшие проекты жилья. Оно включает в себя разделы, посвященные строительству, еде, кулинарии, мебели и декору.

1. b. В статье упоминаются несколько интересных экспонатов: полноразмерные дома; фантастические сады; экспонат под названием «Дом в космосе» (1960); целые деревни (1970-е - 1980-е); первая «зеленая» кухня (1989); созданный тропический лес, где посетители могли испытать тропический ливень (1997); и «Улица Века» (2008), путешествие по воспоминаниям с лучшими моментами прошлого века.

Я бы хотел(а) увидеть экспонат с созданным тропическим лесом, потому что это звучит как уникальный и захватывающий опыт.

Выставка IHS популярна, потому что она демонстрирует новейшие изобретения и проекты жилья, дает идеи и вдохновение для обустройства дома, имеет долгую историю, привлекает знаменитостей и даже королевскую семью, а также представляет уникальные и увлекательные экспонаты.
