Текст "On Travelling"
People started travelling in the ancient times. The first travellers were pilgrims, nomads and explorers. Travelling was really dangerous in those days, but there were always brave and daring people who went on discovering new lands, in search of wealth and fame.
Nowadays things have changed significantly. Hundreds of compa¬nies are willing to help you if you are planning to go somewhere. You are free to choose where to go: you may want to spend a vacation in the mountains or by the sea, and a plane will take you to the place of your choice in a matter of hours. A lot of people will cater to the needs of the travellers in hotels and holiday centres all over the world. Visitors are amused and taken care of in any possible way.
Holidaymaking has become one of the most profitable industries, and the budget of many countries, such as Turkey, Egypt and Greece depends on tourism a lot. Travelling has become easier — and maybe less exciting.

Домашнее задание

Прочитать и перевести текст "Forever Borsch!" и выполнить задания к нему.


Forever Borsch!
Borsch has been in existence for a very long time and often represents .
Russian cookery in the world stage. Here is the list of things which is very
important for a visitor to know about borsch.
1.. Never discuss with your hosts the origins of borsch. The question about whether Ukrainian, Lithuanian or Russian borsch was the first one is well beyond a solution.
2. After having tasted borsch once, a second time you must never say that this one is not the real article. It is possible to come across borsch made with bee, lamb, ham, sausages, chicken, duck or goose, mushrooms, and even mustard. It can also be made with a variety of vegelables, a kind of hot mosaic of tastes: potatoes, cabbage, maize, carrots, and even marrow. Spices will only improve
the best borsch.
3. There is no borsch without beetroot. It is the main ingredient, dominating the flavour of the best borsch. It is what gives borsch its characteristic colour and
its unique flavour.
4. Never mention that the borsch you are eating is over-fatty or not fatty enough. Sometimes borsch is fatty, sometimes salty - this is the Ukrainian borsch - and sometimes even totally vegetarian. Whatever it is, it should always have that natural and transparent sweet-and-sour taste, either subtly
or strongly, which is created by sugar and vinegar. The final thing to note is that it can either be eaten hot or cold.
5. It is traditional to add smetana (a kind of soured cream) to most varieties of borsch. Exceptions are Lithuanian and Odessa borsch, cooked with chicken or goose stock, with which smetana does not mix well.
6. It is very difficult to describe the definitive recipe for borsch, since every housewife has her own recipe.
7. Don't believe that one can make excellent borsch in a hurrv - the preparation of good borsch takes no less than two or three hours. After all it is a soup that contains many ingredients, sometimes dozens of different ingredients, and therefore it takes a long time to mature.
8. Borsch is not often the subject of discusiion, because it is simply part of Russian life.


1. It is not a good idea to discuss the origins of borsch because
a. it has been in existence for a long time.
b. there is no simple solution to the problem.
c. there are dozens of recipes for borsch.
2. Never say that borsch you are eating is not the real article because
a. you have tasted borsch only once.
b. it is not polite.
c. there are dozens of recipes for borsch.
3. The characteristic colour of borsch is given by
a. spices.
b. cabbage.
c. beetroot.
4. There would be no borsch without
a. pickling liquid made of beetroot.
b. cooked beetroot leaves.
c. the main ingredient, which is beetroot.
5. Never mention that borsch is over-fatty or not fatty enough because
a. it is not polite.
b. there are dozens of recipes for borsch.
c. vegetarian borsch is not fattY.
6. It is not traditional to add smetana to Lithuanian or Odessa borsch because
a. lack of smetana is the only thing that makes Lithuanian or Odessa borsch different from
other varieties.
b. neither chicken nor geese eat smetana.
c. chicken and goose stock doesn't mix well with smetana.
7. One can never make excellent borsch in a hurry because
a. it takes time to study the definitive recipe for borsch.
b. the ingredients take a long time to mature.
c. it is difficult to describe the definitive recipe for borsch.

2) Выполнить письменный перевод текста на странице 24
The English used in different parts of the world differs in many ways. There are differences in pronunciation and spelling of the British and American terms. For example, Americans and Englishmen will pronounce differently the words clerk, dance, necessary, etc. Ameri¬cans write labor, the British write labour, Americans write center, the British write centre. And in the many countries where English is used, the slang and idiomatic expressions are different, too.
The English language is interesting because it varies from place to place, and because it is a living, ever-changing language. Nevertheless, Americans, Englishmen, Canadians and people from many other parts of the far-spread English-speaking world have little or no difficulty in understanding one another.
Nowadays more and more agreements are made in English, for English r. universal business language. Joint ventures, bank loans, and trademark licenses are frequently written in English.
Business letters may be divided into official and semi-official. The first kind of letters is characteristic of those people working in business: an executive, a department manager, a salesman, a secretary or a specialist in business and technology. But also many people want to buy something, to accept an invitation or to congratulate somebody — this is a kind of semi-official letters.
