Washington D.C. is the capital of the USA. It is named after George Washington – the first US president
and it is not a part of any state but it is situated in the district called the D.C. - District of Columbia
(named after Christopher Columbus). George Washington asked a French architect and a city-planner
Pierre L´Enfant to design the capital city. It was the first city in the world to be designed and planned as
the capital. The city lies on the Potomac River and it was George Washington who chose the place for
the future capital.
First the White House was built and then the Capitol. White House is the residence of the US president
and his family and the Capitol is the home to the US Congress. In 1812, the British army burnt
Washington including the White House and the Capitol so the whole city had to be reconstructed and
built again. All the country´s federal offices are located here. There are also many monuments that were
built in honour of most famous US presidents. Many of these monuments are situated along the National
Mall which is a large open area that runs through the centre of the city.

New Zealand
New Zealand is an island country that is made
up of two major islands called the North Island and the
South Island. It is situated in the South Pacific. The
capital city is Wellington but the largest city is Auckland.
Most people in New Zealand speak English but the Maori
language is also spoken there by about 4% of the
population. After the Second World War, Maori
discouraged to speak their language but in 1987 their
language declared as official language too. Many places
now have dual Maori and English names.
Maori were the first people who came to New Zealand from Polynesia. New Zealand was first
discovered by Europeans in 1642 when Dutch sailor Abel Tasman arrived. He left New Zealand because
several members of his crew were killed by Maoris. Then in 1769 English Captain James Cook arrived
and mapped the land.
Queen Elizabeth II is officially Queen of New Zealand. She is represented in New Zealand by a
Governor General. New Zealand is a country that has two official anthems: “God save the Queen” and
“God defend New Zealand”.
In New Zealand there are many unique species of animals. Some of them cannot be found
anywhere else in the world. The reason for this that New Zealand was cut off from the rest of the land on
Earth for 80 million years. The oldest living kind of reptile is the native New Zealand Tuatara. Tuataras
can live up to 300 years. It is estimated that Tuataras can be traced back 190 million years to the
Mesozoic era. Another native bird of New Zealand (the Moa) was one of the largest birds in history – that
was up to 3.6 m tall and weighed about 300kg. They don´t live anymore because they were hunted by the
Maoris.
New Zealand's national symbol is a nocturnal flightless bird that is called the kiwi. The weta is the
largest and heaviest insect in the world.
The term ‘Kiwi’ is also used as a nickname for a New Zealander.

A Brief History of Tourism
3.
Tourism is 2,000 years old. It started when rich people of the ancient Rome didn´t want to stay in the city during hot
summers. They took trips to the countryside and the coast. People that lived in the countryside or the coast worked for
the Roman ‘tourists‘, cooked for them or built new houses for them. When the Roman Empire collapsed, Roman
tourism stopped.
During the medieval era, pilgrims appeared. Pilgrims were people who wanted to visit holy places. People built
simple inns near the roads to these holy places. The pilgrims slept and ate in these inns. Many of these people had a
good time during their travel, or pilgrimages.
But it was in the eighteenth century when tourism became popular. Rich people in Europe started to travel because of
health and culture. They visited spas and seaside towns and they enjoyed fresh air. Rich English people liked to
travel to Italy. They studied Italian paintings, sculpture, and architecture. They wished to be cultural.
In the twentieth century a lot of Europeans got richer and wanted to travel. Soon there were hotels almost everywhere.
In the 1960s, tourists started to travel by plane because it was cheap, fast, and comfortable. People discovered
countries like Spain and France.
Today Spain, Italy, and France are still popular with tourists. The USA and exotic destinations attract a lot of people,
too. In these countries, travelers can find fashionable resorts, comfortable hotels, and exciting theme parks. No
wonder, tourists spend a lot of money.

SHOPS AND SHOPPING
There are different kinds of shops. Some of them sell bread. Others have tea, sugar, coffee, butter, cheese,
sausages, meal, and fruit.
When we want to buy something, we take our shopping-bag and go to a shop. There we can see shop-girls and
shop men who sell things.
Many people do their shopping at the market. There the farmers sell the vegetables and fruit which they grow
themselves. They sell meat, milk and other things too.
Large shops with many departments are department stores. In these stores we can buy almost all we want. In the
windows we see all the things which they sell there – food, suits, dresses, coats, boots, shoes, radio and TV sets and
many other things.
Shops are very important in our life.
In the past there were no supermarkets [′su:pәma:kits] in Great Britain, but there were a lot of small shops.
Fifty years ago people went to the shops almost every day. They went to the butcher’s to buy meat. They went to
the grocer’s for tea, sugar, flour and cheese. They bought butter and milk at the diary. They bought bread at the
baker’s. They bought fruit and vegetables at the greengrocer’s. Customers pointed to all the packets, bottles, boxes,
cans, cartons, jars, and tins they wanted to buy.

The Internet
Modern Technology has had a tremendous effect on the lives of people and their entertainment habits.
Today, the Internet has undergone a phenomenal global growth. It has become such an important datagathering and communication source that few can't afford to ignore. The Net encircles the globe.
Young people spend a lot of time on their computers because it’s exciting and they have found in the
Net new ways of meeting a basic human need: the desire to communicate with other people. E-mail sends
electronic messages from one person to another – like letters, but capable of crossing the Atlantic in 15m.
File transfers move bulk data from one computer to another with these capacities, the Internet becomes
post office, printing press and meeting-place all in one.
Some people are making a fortune in cyberspace. Most companies have their own websites; others exist
only on the Internet. They are something called “dot com” companies. Some of the most successful Net
entrepreneurs are teenagers who are still at school. They are called internet nerds.
Tom Hadfield, 16, started a football results website called soccer-net and it became a great business.
To become a successful entrepreneur all you need is: to start a webpage of your own, have a good idea for
a business, think of a catchy name and find someone to lend you money. And remember! English is the
most used business language!

4. Read the text and do exercises.
The power of advertising over kids
(A)
Advertising has an (1) influence on everyone in one way or another, but it especially has had an
influence on children. Catchy (2) jingles, cute slogans, and cartoon characters are all key factors that have
hooked children on certain products. Advertising influences the toys they want, the clothes they wear, and
the food they eat.
( B)
Advertising influences children's choice of toys. If a television (3) commercial displays children
laughing and playing, children think it must be a great toy, regardless of the type. For example, my threeyear-old desperately wants a skateboard for Christmas. Every time he sees a skateboard commercial, he
gets excited. He believes that if he had a skateboard, he would instantly have the same fun and skill as the
boys on television. He also wants a fingernail kit. He does not know what a fingernail kit is, but he likes
the glitter and stickers the commercial shows. The more appealing the commercial is, the more he wants
the toy.
(C)
Another influence advertising has had is on the clothes children want to wear. Clothes from WalMart and K-Mart are no longer satisfactory.(4) Brand names such as GAP, Tommy Hilfiger, and American
Eagle are much more appealing to them. My teenage daughter is constantly looking through catalogues
and magazines, examining each outfit down to the last detail. She continuously wants to change her
wardrobe to keep up with the latest fashion trends and most popular brand names.
( D) Last, advertising influences the food children want to eat. Cartoon characters are placed on boxes
of foods such as crackers and cereal to influence young children. For instance, I was grocery shopping
with my young son the other day, and he asked me if I would buy him some yogurt to have for breakfast.
I reached for the cheapest brand off the shelf and was about to put it in the cart when he said, "I want the
Rugrats' yogurt." I had no idea what he was talking about until he pointed to the shelf behind me. There I
saw a six-pack container of yogurt with pictures of Rugrats' characters on the label. I tried to convince
him that the yogurt I had picked up, which happened to be a dollar cheaper, would taste the same. After
arguing back and forth, I finally gave in and purchased the more expensive Rugrats' yogurt.
(E)
As long as companies continue to (5) target our youth with advertising jingles, slogans, and cartoon
characters, children and teenagers will continue to be influenced by the product with the most advertising
appeal.
5. Read the headings. Match paragraphs with the correct topic.

The economy of the Russian Federation
The economy of Russia is the twelfth largest economy in the world by nominal value and the seventh
largest by purchasing power parity (PPP). Russia has an abundance of natural gas, oil, coal and precious
metals. It is also rich in agriculture.
Russia has undergone significant changes since the collapse of the Soviet Union, moving from a globallyisolated, centrally-planned economy to a more market-based and globally-integrated economy.
Economic reforms in the 1990s privatized most industry, with notable exceptions in the energy and
defense-related sectors. The rapid privatization process has left equity ownership highly concentrated.
The protection of property rights is still weak and the private sector remains subject to heavy state
interference.
The main economic sectors are industry, telecommunication, agriculture, trade, information technology,
nanotechnology and transportation.
The main industries include oil, gas, coal, chemicals and metals; machine building, defense industries,
shipbuilding, consumer durables, textiles, foodstuffs, handicrafts.

Industry and agriculture of the UK
In the past English industrial prosperity rested on a few important products, such as textiles, coal and
heavy machinery. Now the UK has a great variety of industries, for example: heavy and light industry,
chemical, aircraft, electrical, automobile and many other industries. The United Kingdom is considered
one of the world's major manufacturing nations. Now high technology industries are more developed than
heavy engineering. Heavy engineering and other traditional industries have experienced a certain decline.
Certain areas are traditionally noted for various types of industries. For instance, Newcastle is famous for
coal industry, the county of Lancashire for its textile industry. The Midlands, or the central counties of
England, are famous for the production of machinery, coal, motor cars and chemicals. In recent times
regional industrial distinctions have become less clear as more and more new factories are built in the
different parts of the country.
Speaking about the cities of the United Kingdom the first mention should be made of London, the capital
of the UK. It is a big port on the River Thames, a major commercial, industrial and financial centre.
Leeds is a centre of clothing industry producing woolen articles. Glasgow is a major port on the River
Clyde where shipbuilding industry is developed. Liverpool on the River Mersey is a flour milling and
engineering centre. Birmingham is an iron and steel centre. Manchester is famous for textiles
manufacturing.
Three quarters of the United Kingdom's land is dedicated to agriculture. About two per cent of the
population of the United Kingdom are engaged in agriculture, but the yields of English farms and pastures
are very high. Wheat, barley, oats and potatoes are the most important crops grown. Sheep, cattle and pigs
are the most numerous types of livestock.
Sheep is a source of both wool for textile industry and mutton for food industry. Mutton is the best liked
English meat.

Marketing
Marketing is often confused with sales or with advertising, but it is these and much more. Marketing is a
complete process within the business which includes:
• finding out what the customer wants — this is called market research and involves finding out what
types of products are wanted (product policy) and what prices consumers are prepared to pay
• helping to produce the right product at the right price
• persuading customers to buy the product — by means of advertising and packaging
• transporting the product to the customer in the most convenient and efficient way which means
distribution.
The easiest way to remember what marketing is all about is to remember what the marketing people call
the marketing mix, i.e. the four Ps:
• product
• price
• promotion
• place
Product
Product involves decisions about the product's guality, its, style and design, the branding policy (what to
call it and how to ensure that customers recognize the brand name), how to package it and what
guarantees to offer.
Price
Price means the need to set not only the price itself but also any discounts which might be given and
anyallowances permitted, e.g. $50 for your old cooker when you buy a new one.
Promotion
Marketing involves the choice of how the product is promoted — the advertising and the publicity it is
given.
Place
Place refers to how the product is distributed and through what types of shop or other organisations.

Forms of businesses in the USA
Businesses in the USA may be organized as one of the following forms:
•
individual business
•
general partnership
•
limited partnership
•
corporation
•
alien corporation
•
foreign corporations
An individual business is owned by one person. A general partnership has got several owners. They all
are liable for debts and they share in the profits. A limited partnership has got at least one general owner
and one or more other owners. They have only a limited investment and a limited liability.
A corporation is owned by persons, called stockholders. The stockholders usually have certificates
showing the number of shares which they own. The stockholders elect a director or directors to operate
the corporation. Most corporations are closed corporations, with only a few stockholders. Other corporations are owned by many stockholders who buy and sell their shares at will. Usually they have little
interest in management of the corporations.
Alien corporations are corporations of foreign countries.
All the corporations are to receive their charters from thestate authorities. The charters state all the powers
of the corporation. Many corporations try to receive their charters from the authorities of the State of
Delaware, though they operate in other states. They prefer the State of Delaware because the laws are
liberal there and the taxation is rather low. Such corporations, which receive their charters from an
outside state are called foreign corporations.
All the corporations reguire a certificate to do business in the state where they prefer to operate.
