Переведите письменно текст с английского языка на русский, обращая внимание на Participle I and Participle II.

We know different kinds of metals. The heavy metals include iron, copper, tin, lead and some others. Some met­als are light (aluminium), some are hard (iron) and others are soft (tin, lead). Aluminium is a metal found in clay. It is the most abundant metallic element found in nature only in the form of compound. Aluminium is a very impor­tant metal used in many industries. It has white colour, does not corrode and is resistant to all inorganic acids except hydrochloric. Aluminium things are in wide use. Aluminium combined with steel and other melals forms a mixture of metals called an alloy. Alloys formed in combi­nation with aluminium are better for various purposes than the basic metal itself. Engineers often use combined metals in industry.

The National Trust is a charity founded nearly 100 years ago by three people anxioused that the natural beauty of the British countryside could be spoiled by the increasing industrialization of the country.

The Lake District is the largest national park in England. The lakes and the mountains surrounding it were formed millions of years ago in the ice age. The largest lake is Windermere, often used for sailing, water-skiing and other sports. The deepest lake, thought to be the oldest, is Wostwater, over 60 m deep. One fairly new "lake" is Haweswater reservoir. This is a man-made lake created by flooding valley waters.

The English lakes is a popular area for outdoor activities; very often you can see here hiking, camping, climbing people and water sports are also very popular. It is more popular for families to visit in the summer and the only real industry in the region is tourism. One can spend hours in the towns of Windermere, Ambleside, Penrith or Keswick just looking at the clothes made from lakeland wool, sweets made from lakeland farms or drink the special lakeland beer, brewed by Marstons. The only three mountains in England are all found in the Lake District; they are Scafell Pike (977 m), Helvellyn (949 m) and Skiddaw (931 m). They can each be climbed easily in a day and very little specialist equipment is needed. If the weather is fine, one can see almost to the coast of Ireland from the summits.
