Dr. James turned on the television to check on the weather. The weatherman said that it was going to stay cold for several days. According to him, the roads were (BE) very dangerous because of the snow and ice and he strongly recommended staying at home if at all possible. Dr. James couldn't (NOT/CAN) stay at home. He worked in a hospital and there were patients waiting for him there. He put on a sweater, jacket, gloves, boots and a hat, and opened his front door. Everything covered (COVER) with snow. A cold wind blew inside. “Wow,” Dr. James said. “The weatherman was right! I wish I had (HAVE) a reindeer instead of my old car.” When Dr. James drove (DRIVE) slowly to work, he saw an accident. He stopped and ran (RUN) to the damaged car. There was a man and two children (CHILD) inside. “Is everyone okay?” Dr. James asked. “Yes, yes, we are fine,” answered the man. “I called (CALL) 911 already. They are coming to help us (WE). It looks like we won’t get to school today.” 2. Martin was in a hurry as he had to be in the office as soon as possible. His boss didn't like (NOT/LIKE) it when anyone missed the morning meetings and Martin had already been late several times that week. His boss had warned him: “If you are late again, you will lose (LOSE) your job.” Martin was afraid of losing his job. His colleagues were nice to him, the salary was good and he sometimes went (GO) on business trips abroad. It was actually the best (GOOD) job he had ever had. He ran out of the house, jumped into his car and backed up without looking. BOOM! There was (BE) a sound like someone hitting a drum. Martin had hit the car behind him. “Oh, no!” Martin exclaimed. Martin glanced at his watch. It was 7:18. He looked around. There were no policemen (POLICEMAN) on the street and he decided to drive off quickly. It took him (HE) 20 minutes to get to work. The boss was not around. “Thank goodness,” Martin said to himself and sat down at his desk to work. The boss arrived an hour later. “Somebody hit my car and left without leaving a note,” he said angrily. “I wish I knew (KNOW) who he was. My car was absolutely new! It was bought (BUY) only a week ago.”
Task 2. Прочитайте текст и письменно переведите его на русский язык.
Countries export some products and export others because sometimes it is cheaper to buy than to produce. There is warm climate and much vegetation in Australia. This is very good for sheepbreeding, and Australia exports much high quality wool. Taiwan has many skilled technicians and so it produces radios, television sets and other electronic products for export. Canada’s climate is good for wheat, and Argentina is a low-cost producer of meat. Canada ships its wheat to Argentina and Argentina sells its meat to Canada. Both countries profit by these import-export transactions. Very few countries do not take part in international business.
Ответ:
Страны экспортируют одни продукты, и другие - потому, что иногда их дешевле купить, чем производить. В Австралии тёплый климат и много растительности. Это очень хорошо для овцеводства, и Австралия экспортирует много высококачественной шерсти. Тайвань имеет много квалифицированных технических специалистов, и поэтому он производит радиоприемники, телевизоры и другие электронные продукты для экспорта. Климат Канады благоприятен для пшеницы, а Аргентина является дешевым производителем мяса. Канада поставляет пшеницу в Аргентину, а Аргентина продает мясо в Канаду. Обе страны получают прибыль от этих импортно-экспортных операций. Очень немногие страны не принимают участия в международном бизнесе.
