Speaking about sports, we can't avoid speaking about the Olympic Games. The Olympic has a very long history. They began in 776 ВС at Olympia, in Greece. They take place every four years. In 1896 the first international Olympic Games were held. From then and to the present time the games have been international and the number of events in the programme has increased. Each country sends team for as many of different events as possible. The winners of each event are given a certain number of points. The International Olympic Committee decides where the next Olympics will take place. Only cities (not countries) can be hosts of the Games.

A Visit to the Houses of Parliament
The students arrived at Westminster at half past three and went to the entrance in the Victoria Tower. Soon the guide came and the tour began.
The guide took the students first to the House of Lords. They saw the Throne on which the Queen sits when she opens Parliament and the Woolsack (a real sack of wool) on which the Lord Chancellor sits. The Lord Chancellor sits on a woolsack because years ago wool was the most important thing England produced. There are almost 800 peers in the House of Lords but only about half take an active interest in the affairs of the state.

The method of shopping may vary. It may be a self-service shop where the customer goes from counter to counter chossing the things he or she wants to buy and putting them into a basket. Then he takes the basket to the check-out counter, where the prices of the purchases are added up. If it is not a self-service shop, then the shop-assistant helps the customer in finding what he or she wants. You pay money to the cashier and get your change.

For many people shopping has become a hobby. They meet up with their friends, try on the clothes, have a burger for lunch. In short, they enjoy hanging around in positive feeling, exciting environments in which they feel at home. This means that shop owners need to attract shoppers and to induce them to buy their product at a price which leaves some profit. If shops play music and have lights like a club, shoppers will be also tempted into the shop. When we are going shopping there are a lot of shops at our disposal. We can distinguish between supermarkets, department stores and specialty shops.

NHOC in West Coast Refinery Shock
The National Hermosa Oil Corporation (NHOC) officially announced yesterday that it intends to construct a $1 billion oil refinery on the west coast of the island. The project is expected to take five years to complete, with 2,000 workers involved in its construction. The refinery when finished will employ 500 staff, easing the employment situation on the west coast, where tourism is at present the only industry.
The refinery is to be built 120 km north of Newport, near the small resort of Puerto Escondido, in the West Coast National Park. Ms. Lucia Buenavista, a spokeswoman for the Ministry of the Environment said that it “did not foresee difficulty” in giving planning permission for the project. She said that the ministry had been assured by NHOC that environmental controls would be extremely strict and that danger of oil pollution from the refinery was “minimal”.

Now, in the period of most intensive development of industry and agriculture, the problems of nature conservation should be considered by a special service. The countries-members of the United Nations Organization have set up environmental protection agencies. Numerous conferences have been held by these agencies to discuss questions of ecologically poor regions including Chernobyl, the Aral Sea, and others. In 1987 a «Green Peace» public commission has been set up. Its main goal is to combine the people's efforts for peace with movement for nature conservation. The Earth is our home. Environmental protection is a universal concern. That is why serious measures to create a system of ecological security should be taken. We must keep our environment clean for us for the next generations. Each of us must do everything possibile to keep the land, air and water clean.

Прочитайте текстThe Sources of Economic HealthIn 1776, new technologies were being invented and applied to the manufacture of cotton and wool, iron, transportation and agriculture in what came to be called the "Industrial Revolution".Adam Smith was keenly interested in these events. He wanted to understand the sources of economic wealth, and he brought his acute powers of observation and abstraction lo bear on this question.His answer was: The division of labour; Free domestic and international markets Smith identified the division of labour as the source of "the greatest improvement in the productive powers of labour". The division of labour became even more productive when applied to creating new technologies.Scientists and engineers, trained in extremely narrow fields, became specialists at inventing. Their powerful skills speeded the advance of technology. Machines started performing repetitive operations faster, and more accurately than people.But, said Smith, the fruits of the division of labour are limited by the extent of the market. To make the market as large as possible, there must be no impediments lo free trade both within a country and among countries.Smith argued that when each person makes the best possible economic choice based on sell'- interest, that choice leads as if by an invisible hand to the best outcome for society as a whole.

Прочитайте текстMeasuring Economic ActivityThere are a large number of statistics produced regularly on the operation of the world's major economics. The UK's economy is no exception in this aspect. You will probably have noticed that often the headlines in newspapers or the important items on television news programmes relate to economic data and the implications for individuals and businesses. A prime example of this occurs when interest rates are increased: the media responds by highlighting the adverse effects on businesses with debts and householders with mortgages.Data is provided on a wide range of aspects of the economy's operation. Statistics are available to show: the level of uunemployment; the level of inflation; a country's trade balance with the rest of the world; production volumes in key industries and the economy as a whole; the level of wages; raw material prices, and so forth.The main statistics illustrating the economy's behaviour relate to the level of activity in the economy. That is. they tell us whether the economy is working at full capacity using: all or nearly all available resources of labour, machinery and other factors of production or whether these resources are being under-utilized.The unemployment figures for the economy give an indicator of the level of activity, as the economy moves towards a recession and a lower level of prosperity it is likely that unemployment figures will rise. An alternative measure of the level of activity is national income statistics, which show the value of nation's output during a year. Economists use the term Gross National Product to describe this data. Changes in the level or trends of such key data have great significance for businesses, as wc shall see later.There are numerous sources of data on the economy of which we can make usu. The government publishes much through the Treasury Department of Trade and Industry, the Bank of England and the Department of Employment. The Central Statistical Office, which was established during the Second World War, publishes about half of the government's economic data.Much of this is contained in its annual publication, "The Annual Abstract of Statistics". It also publishes the equally valuable "Social Trends" annually. Additionally, private organizations such as the banks, building societies and universities, publish figures on various aspects of the economy's performance.Econonnic statistics are presented in many forms, the most common being graphs and tables. Although these statistics can be valuable in assisting managers, they should be treated with some caution when predicting the future trend of the economy and thus helping the business to take effective decisions. \Текст относится к темеMy Education

Fables are short and wise stories about animals and people. They teach us to be kind and not to boast. When we read fables we see people in the animals. We laugh at silly and greedy characters. Fables teach us not to be silly and to be pleased with what we have. We all love and admire Esop's fables. Esop lived 2500 years ago in Greece. He told his fables to many people and they remembered them. Millions of people all over the world now read Esop's fables. Millions of people all over the world read Esop's fables

In fine weather the passengers I like to look at the ship with its many decks and cabins. It looks like a white flouting city. When the sea is a little rough, the ship rolls from side to side. Some passengers feel seasick.I like to watch the sea-gulls, listen to their cries when they fly over the waves.It's also fine to travel by trains. From a comfortable railway carriage you have a splendid view of a country side.And of course it's not bad to travel in a car. You may stop at any place you like, have lunch under a shady tree or swim in a cool river or a like.Текст относится к теме ... Travelling
