Հռոմեացի զորավար Մարկոս Անտոնիոսը, տիրելով Լիբիային և Եգիպտոսին, իր մեծաքանակ զորքով արշավանք է սկսում պարթևների դեմ։ Անտոնիոսի մեջ արարիչն ասես կուտակել էր մահկանացուներին բնորոշ բոլոր այպանելի գծերը․ նա ուխտադրուժ էր, արնախում և փառասեր։ Այդ ինքնահավան ու ամբարտավան այրը, պարթևներից մի լավ ջարդ ստանալով, զորքերի փրկված մնացորդներով մի կերպ ճողոպրում է, խուճապահար հասնում Հայաստան՝ օթևան խնդրելով հայոց արքա Արտավազդից։ Եթե լիներ խորամանկ դիվանագետ, հայոց թագավորն ինքն էլ մի վճռական հարված կհասցներ և վերջնականապես կջախջախեր վաղեմի թշնամուն՝ դաս տալով նրա հաջորդներին։ Բայց, լինելով բանաստեղծ, մարդկային կարեկցանքի ու վեհանձնության մարմնացում, ոչ միայն չի ջախջախում մազապուրծ թշվառականին, այլև ապաստան է տալիս, ամբողջ ձմեռ կերակրում զորքի սովալուկ մնացորդներին։ Մի երեկո Արտաշատի կիսաշրջանաձև թատրոնը լեփ-լեցուն էր հանդիսականներով։ Այդ օրը բեմադրվելու էր Արտավազդի՝ Տիգրան Մեծին նվիրված թատերգությունը։ Դավադիրները հենց թատերասրահում ձերբակալում են արքային՝ Արտավազդին, տանելով Ալեքսանդրիա՝ կնոջ և որդիների հետ միասին։Գրականություն (համտեսում ենք համաշխարհային գրականություն)

1. Discuss the questions.
What can you see in the photos on this page?
Photo 1 A toddler with spaghetti or food spilled all over his head and face, throwing a mess while eating.
Photo 2 A mother taking a selfie on her smartphone with her teenage son, who looks slightly unamused or awkward.
Imagine that these are old photos of you. Would you like your parents to post these photos on social media and share them online? Why/Why not?
No, I wouldn’t like it because the first photo is embarrassing, and I wouldn’t want people to see me making a mess. For the second photo, I prefer to have control over my own image on social media rather than my parents posting photos of me without asking.
Yes, I wouldn’t mind because they are just fun childhood memories, and it’s nice to share funny moments with family and friends.
2. Read the article and choose the best title. Explain your choice.
Correct Choice: 2 (Parents! Talk to your kids before you share their images on social media)
Title 1 is too extreme (the text does not say never post, but rather to be careful and listen to children). Title 3 is incorrect because posting is not illegal everywhere—only in specific countries under specific conditions.
3. Read the article again and choose the best answers.
b have no control over what their parents are doing. c make an important mistake when they post photos of their children. a parents need to ask their children before they post images of them. b isn’t a problem if parents talk to their children.
4. What do the underlined words and phrases in the text mean?
sharenting: The practice of parents using social media to share news, images, or videos of their children. adolescents: Teenagers or young people who are developing from a child into an adult. far away: At a great distance in space or time; distant. privacy settings: Controls on social media websites and apps that allow users to manage who can see their profile and posts. permission: Official allowance or consent to do something. fine: A sum of money exacted as a penalty by a court or authority. sensible: Showing or having good sense and judgment.
Many parents post photos of their children online. Small kids do not care, but older kids often hate it. For example, a 16-year-old boy in Italy sued his mother to stop her from sharing his photos. In France, parents who do this can get a big fine. Because of this, parents should always ask children over ten before sharing their photos.
