3 Misha's classmates want to know more about the history of the Russian language. Their teacher is telling them about it. Read the information and check your answers to Ex. 2.
In about the 6th century AD Slav tribes migrated west to the river Elbe and to the south into the Balkans. By the 10th century there were three Slavonic language groups: Western, Southern and Eastern. Russian, together with Ukrainian and Belorussian, comes from the Eastern Slavonic language group.
In the 12th century the Mongols came. You may think that Mongol invader: who stayed in Russia changed the language forever, but it isn't true. Th< Russian language didn't change much and stayed Slavic.
All Slavonic languages are still similar and people who speak them cai understand each other.

 Read the conversation and answer the questions.
1. What did Emily do when her computer broke down?

3. Does Misha believe that Emily can explain everything?
Misha: So what happened yesterday? Did you go to Emily's room?
Mark: Yes, and look what we found!
Misha: It's your family history book. Where did you find it?
Rob: It was in Emily's room. When her computer broke down, she was working on the book. She was so upset that she forgot about everything and ran to Andrew for help. She forgot to hide the bool and lock the door.
Misha: So it's Emily. I still don't believe it. We must talk to her about it. I'm sure she'll explain everything.
Mark: I'm afraid you won't be able to talk to her. Misha: What do you mean? Mark: She's gone. You won't find her anywhere. Misha: But why?
