Both economists and politicians claim that globalisation cannot be stopped — people have to accept it and adapt to the new environment. Anti-globalists, in my eyes, just have lost touch with reality, whatever they do — they cannot stop the logical development of our society. Economic development requires boarder free zone, as companies cannot perform their best in the cramped conditions of local markets. National economies are integrating into the international economy and the process is accelerating rapidly. 2. One may think that the process of globalisation was caused and launched mainly by economic forces, which is not quite correct. It is caused by ^ combination of economic, social, cultural, political and technological reasons. Communication technologies created new unprecedented business opportunities, which boosted economic processes. In fact, telecommunicating and teleconferencing enable business people to trade across the continents. Multimillion deals can be negotiated and signed using electronic means, money can be transferred in seconds, and goods can be delivered in hours from one continent to another. 3. The cultural life of people has changed too. Due to global TV broadcast and the internet they can exchange information quickly and easily. Nowadays, people living in Europe are well informed about the cultural traditions and mentality of people who inhabit South America or Australia and vice versa. And if they want to learn something new, they can easily find the information. Some national cultural objects have turned into global. No one can say now that the Beatles is just an English group — it is a global phenomenon, which belongs to the whole world. 4. Another example of integration of national cultures is the spread of culinary traditions. Italian dishes may be cooked and served in America, there are lots of Indian and Greek restaurants in Paris, and no one in Moscow considers hot and spicy Chinese food as something exotic. We have an opportunity to taste various dishes regardless of the country where we live. Due to globalisation people have a much wider choice than they used to have, and they find it very beneficial. 5. However, there are two sides to every medal, and it refers to globalisation too. In spite of the obvious advantages, its negative consequences shouldn’t be neglected either. Getting global, unfortunately, means losing your national identity. Global music, fashion, mass media make us more and more alike. The world is getting less diverse and therefore less interesting. 6. Furthermore, the global world gets more vulnerable as crises and catastrophes become global too. That is they can affect anyone in any country. Having started in one country the financial and economic crisis 8 UNIT 1 Ш^;:';: . - V- «г ,. *. . o>v- ■’■■Ку/Г’У ^iCinultinational Hanks and corporations all over the world causing ^fcffianj^j^f^and unemployment across the globe.

I work early hours because bread, buns, pastries of all kinds need to be ready by the time people have their breakfast. And I don’t mind early starts at all. It’s great waking up before the sunrise to a delicious smell of freshly baked bread, .. .which is a great start of a day, isn’t it? 2. I work shifts and sometimes I feel tired when I have to work at nights. But we need to be available to our clients round the clock as they may have problems with their computers any hour. When they experience problems, they call us for help and advice. The most difficult thing to me is to get them to explain what the problem is. Instead of a detailed explanation they may just scream; “It doesn’t work! It bleaks, makes strange noises and refuses to work!” At first I used lots of computer jargon when I spoke to the customers, but then I realised that they didn’t understand me at all and switched from professional vocabulary to simple language. Now even non-experienced computer users understand my instructions and cope with most minor technical problems. 20 UNIT 2 Г . •. \ when I was at school, I enjoyed arts and crafts. I liked making things by myself. Once I made a dress from lots of little pieces of cloth. I wore it for a party, just for fun, but my friends said that it was a gorgeous dress. I was very surprised but it was very inspirational. I made some more dresses, blouses and accessories and they were a success too. Not only my friends, but also my parents said that I was creative and should pursue that hobby! Later the hobby became a job, and I find it very satisfying. * -:^V: ж f f -i i: ■ ш into my very When I was, considering my career, I wanted my lob to be npps,. tqAdd;i|||li^h^ - J Now I^’gbt ^ali^ut a real jofcTi^if&reffilromlffiiiffl^^ s^T m books- and films.‘iwas surpriseddo find оиЬтг#|1|}ШРме1^^Ш‘ Ш .. шттщтттт^^^^тт^тжтт.^т lots of routine рарегл\гогк, which I don t really enioyn he best Юр 1S the as а team.

No, Im not saying that it s not difficult, or that I don’t take it seriously. Actually, it requires good knowledge of the language and good writing skills. My job is very important for people who don’t speak English but enjoy reading books written by English authors. The most challenging part of the job is to transmit the writer’s message to people without changing it. It may be difficult because the author and the reader not only speak different languages, but have different backgrounds and mentalities. Anyway, I’ve always liked studying languages and linguistics, so I find my job very rewarding and enjoyable. And one more thing — I really enjoy reading new books and because of my job I can do it before all the other people in this country. jar-' IB I Share your ideas with the class.

The organisation unites people of different ages and different backgrounds who want to attract society’s attention to problematic and controversial issues in education. Recently it has conducted a survey of university students in order to find out their opinion about part-time jobs for fulltime students. The Association does not claim that the results of the survey are fully reliable as the data may vary from university to university and may depend on its type, on the economic situation in the region and other factors. Flowever, the information displayed on the Association page gives food for thought. According to it, about forty per cent of students attending universities have jobs during term-time. “If you live in a big city, a job is not an option but a necessity for any student,” Andrew Kaminsky, a fourth year student, says. “Tm very lucky as I don’t have to pay for my education, it’s free for me, but I still have to pay rent and transportation expenses, buy books, food and other things. I enjoy going 24 UNIT 2 •L*.*‘ out, but clubbing and outings cost a fortune. It would be unfair if my parents had to pay for all that.”.? Another student Julia Kennan has a different opinion. “I think that job commitments on top of the studies is too much for me. And this is not because I’m lazy. I just can’t do two things at a time. Working students miss lectures. If I were working, it might affect my studies, and I wouldn’t get the expected results. My parents think the same and, fortunately, tlfey can afford to support me now. I think that when I graduate and get a good job. I’ll be able to do something for them too — to pay for their travelling for instance or cover other expenses if necessary.” Anna Glenn, a twenty-year-old working student, presents a moderate viewpoint on V- • *• v>" 1 AISE wants to a) help adult people to get higher education. b) make univepity education cheaper and affordable to everyone. c) unite people of different ages and backgrounds. d) raise standards in education. 2 According to AISE, the results of their survey of university students are a) absolutely reliable. b) difficult to believe. c) worth thinking about. d) true for every university in the country. 3 According to the results of the survey, a) more than half of university students work. b) less than half of university students work. c) almost all university students work. d) very few university students work. 4 The first respondent (Andrew) says that he does a part-time job because he a) has to earn his living. b) has to pay for his education. c) wants to support his parents. d) wants to gain some working experience. ж Number Letter T i:: m the issue. “I know that some teachers do not approve of students who combine job and studies. But I don’t think that a job is necessarily bad for studies. On the contrary, if you do a simple but career related job, it’s very beneficial. It helps you understand how everything works and academic information stops being purely theoretical. Yonuhderstand how to apply your theoretical knowledge to practice. It is motivating and it often inspires you to study harder.” Opinions differ but education costs together with young people’s desire to succeed in a competitive world will inevitably increase the number of working students. Universities should consider the tendency and help their students find part-time jobs in related industries. ■ кШ г. -.и V * *f-**.* 3111 :жшш •3* 1 *•. .* "* • * "tSt V •V’\v:: •.

I I. / ;■ mti seeds, tea, salt and even domestic animals were used as money, but it wasn’t convenient, and people had to look for something easier to carry around and store. Often they used shells, pieces of metal or semi-precious stones. The first coins, as most researchers believe, appeared in Asia in c.K 640-630 BC, and the first paper money was used in China in c. 960 AC. 3. Money has always played a significant role in social development and its influence was both stimulating and devastating. The stimulating effect of money is indisputable — it often motivates people to develop new technologies, to look for new lands and... to invade other peoples’ territories. Sadly, but the real reason for any war is money — people are ready to kill each other for money or its equivalents — gas, oil, precious metals and other resources. 4. Paradoxically enough but people, who created money, have always said that money is evil and dreamt about a money-free society. Different socioeconomic theories (the communist theory is the most famous among them) said that money would disappear in the near future and people would be able to do without it. However, is it possible for an industrial society to function effectively without money? Most economists are not optimistic about it, but there is no evidence that it is absolutely impossible either. In different societies money existed in different forms, depending on what people considered the most valuable thing, which was easy to keep and carry around. Forms of money nowadays are, probably, not so diverse as they used to be in ancient times, but the variety is still impressive. Apart from conventional coins and banknotes we can use the so-called plastic money or banking cards. More and more people find this way of paying for goods and services very convenient — it’s quick, there’s no need to wait for change and it lessens the risk of having your money lost or stolen. Banking cards allow us to buy things online, which, as some prominent economists think, will soon replace traditional forms of selling via shops, stores and agencies. 6. The internet can change not only the way we sell and buy things, but money circulation too. Though plastic money has become customary, we still use coins and paper money a lot. But those forms of money may cease to exist quite soon. Online trade will probably enhance the significance of cybermoney. Cybermoney is already in use, but it’s accepted by internet shops only. According to some forecasts, this type of money will dominate — people will not only be buying online but will be earning online too. They can also keep their savings in electronic purses in cyberspace. Number Letter abbreviation for ci'rca (lat.) — приблизительно 33 lim.Use'of Еп •.**r Fill in the gaps with the correct words.

Nowadays internet shops can compete with retail shops quite successfully. Is online trade just a fashion or a persistent tendency? Will it ultimately cause traditional shops to die out? Everything depends on customers and Щ. Let us find out how people in the streets feel about e-trade growing opportunities. “I find buying online very convenient,” says Allan Brig, a loyal internet customer. “I have unlimited access to the internet and Tm practically always online. If I need to buy something, I try internet shops first and only if they can t offer me what I need, do I go to a store, a shopping centre or a supermarket.” “Buying via the internet is a great option,” Julia Smith, a busy undergraduate, shares the opinion. “And it s good for ideas too. If I want to buy something, say, a present for my friend, but have no idea what exactly I need, I type the key words “buy” and “original presents” in the search bar and press enter. Instantly the searching system provides me with a long list of sites which, as the machine thinks, meet my requirements. I look through the list Naturally, the results of the search may contain lots of irrelevant links. It s irritating sometimes, but the machine doesn’t want to confuse me deliberately, Щ. According to it, if a site contains all three words “buy”, “original” and “presents”, itTl be selected automatically. Unfortunately, and analyse the content of the site. But Гт sure it’ll learn how to do it very soon.” Another opinion belongs to Maria Chris, a freelance designer. “I often shop online,” she says, “though many of my friends don’t think that it’s safe enough. That’s true, Щ, but if you are careful, you can feel quite safe. When I buy via the internet, I usually visit several sites to compare prices and delivery terms. I want to know if the delivery is free, to put it bluntly, if the delivery costs have been included in the price already, or if they want me to pay extra for it. As for the ways of r** ■^T'v. % 42 UNIT3 payment, there are usually two options. The first one is payment by a credit card, |||. The essential information they need to withdraw the money from your account is the card holder s name, the number written on the card and the expiry date. Alternatively, you can pay cash to the delivery man when you receive the ordered goods. Though paying cash is not very convenient, as the delivery man may not have change, I usually prefer it as a very safe way.” John Flint, a sales manager in tourism, doesn’t contradict the previous respondents. Actually, he sums up their opinions. “Theoretically speaking”, he says, “hackers can break any computer and get access to your personal data I’m not a computer geek and I don’t know how it can be done, but I’m sure it’s possible. In spite of that, I feel that e-trade offers us an amazing opportunity to save our time. Shopping is inevitable and sometimes it’s fun, but I’m grateful to the technological progress that now I can devote more time to what I really like — my family, my friends and my rare plants collection.

The thing is that he gave up volleyball, he was quite good at, doesn't go out and spends days and nights pattering on the computer keyboard.

Like any other technological breakthrough cloning can be both beneficial and dangerous for people, which makes the necessity of further research into cloning quite uncertain. In simple words, cloning means creating an identical copy of an organ, animal and even a human being. Scientists have already experimented with growing organs and animals — sheep Dolly caused a real sensation! — but human cloning is seen as a great risk and further research is being UN1T3 51 deliberately blocked. There are certainly very important reasons that make people passionately object to boosting cloning technologies. They are very anxious about legal and ethical aspects of cloning and believe that before investing into any further research and approving of it, society should think very carefully. Their first concern is the legal status of a human clone. Is he or she going to enjoy equal rights or is it going to be a bio-robot, just in case the original body needs some spare parts to replace the damaged or amputated ones? They also worry that someone may want to create an army of clones for military purposes or an army of slave workers. They also think that cloning can be dangerous genetically as we never know its potential effect on the human gene. It can make a negative impact on society as clones will face lots of the social challenges: they wont have parents, they may be treated as second class people. This is not a complete list of issues anti-clonists want to drive people s attention to and their arguments certainly give them solid ground to say that human cloning should not take place till all the controversies are fixed. On the other hand, supporters of cloning have their points too. They say that technological progress cannot be stopped and insist that cloning is not necessarily about cloning people. Cloning cells — that s what is going to be very beneficial. The recent researches proved that stem cells are very promising as they can generate in any type of cells to build a liver, lungs, a heart and any other organ. Scientists hope that one day therapeutic cloning can be used to generate tissues and organs for transplants. Transplants needed for operations can be created in laboratories, not taken from donors. To do this, DNA would be extracted from the patient and inserted into an egg, from which the nuclear with the genetic information has been removed. Then the cell would be used to generate any organ or tissue that genetically matches the recipient and cannot be rejected by the body. Diseases like cancer, Alzheimer’s or heart diseases will be defeated. Alternatively, scientists can clone damaged cells and use them as models of the disease for testing new drugs. The technology could save thousands and millions of lives. Growing transplants is an ethically better solution than using donors’ organs, however, another problem is arising here. Organs can be grown from the stem cells. When the egg with the inserted DNA divides, it creates an embryo. To get the stem cells, the embryo has to be destroyed. Is it morally acceptable or not? Now one can see why moral views on cloning are hopelessly divided. But to ban cloning and refuse to discuss the matter is not an option. Probably ethic committees and committees of experts should examine each research proposal individually. Ultimately our experience will help us indicate the way forward. rngj-. 2^^ - ^0- - - ^ •• * L.V* % г л л* /: •л: N ■•ВД. i'rt’;-; 1 * • *.*'W*^ ШМ Щ- л. т •ши тР I'V; 1 Ш - 1 The author thinks that research into cloning a) is very important. b) has very good prospects. c) is rather problematic. 2 According to the text, most people a) are in two minds about cloning people. b) find cloning people very beneficial. c) don’t want to think about cloning people. 52 UNIT3 3 People who are against cloning a) are afraid of bio-robots. b) want everyone to be aware of possible consequences. c) don’t want clones to have the same rights as genuine people. 4 Supporters of cloning want to focus research on a) cloning people. b) cloning animals. c) cloning cells. 5 The author states that a) any organ for transplantation can be grown from a stem cell b) to grow a heart, scientists need a heart cell. c) in laboratories cells can be kept for years. 6 The author believes that growing organs from cells a) is technically quite possible. b) is a matter of very distant future. c) is not a realistic aim. 7 The author insists that growing organs from stem cells a) doesn’t create any ethical problems. b) still raises some ethical problems. c) should be discussed in a referendum.

I '■'■р4 ongoing support is always available. I can use the library, the internet, copying machines, computers and printers if I need them to design my lessons. Lesson preparation takes lots of time, but my colleagues say that everything is going to be much easier when I gain more experience. I teach adults and teenagers. Lots of adult people here learn English as they need it for their job, and companies they work for often pay for their classes. Teenagers take their language education very seriously too as their future careers may depend on it. My students progress through the material very quickly and have a generally high level of listening comprehension, though they experience serious problems when speaking it. They are dedicated, motivated students that show a high level of enthusiasm to learn English. As I’ve mentioned the teaching materials are provided and they are very professionally made. They are designed to increase fluency and help students to get rid of their mistakes. Some questions require the students to think analytically and not respond purely from memory. My students and I enjoy creative and challenging tasks. I feel very fortunate to teach in this sort of environment and I must say that the students’ speaking skills are improving very quickly. Chinese culture differs from my culture a lot, and it would be difficult for me to cope with the culture shock if I were here absolutely on my own. But, fortunately, there are lots of foreigners here who can give a hand. I don’t feel severed from the local community eithei- the Chinese are different, but they are friendly. Though I don’t know their language, I don’t experience any problems in everyday life. Shanghai is getting more and more multicultural! The school I work for helped me a lot to make myself comfortable in here. They rented an apartment for me and gave me a subsidy to cover the costs setting it up. The apartment already had a refrigerator and a cooker, so I bought a sofa, a table and a few chairs, some dishes and kitchen items. I still need to get a microwave oven, a washing machine, a TV, a DVD and a VCR player. My weekly food costs are very moderate, so I will be able to afford everything very soon. I can also save on transportation costs. I’ve bought a mountain bicycle that I use for transportation and for exercise too. Please give my regards to Clare and Maria and other guys from our college.

However, when we travel or move to another country, it often takes us some time to get used to people s lifestyle and their daily routines. This may be very challenging, especially if the population practise a religion which is different from the one in which we were raised, or their traditions may seem strange or even silly to us. When you travel, be ready to accept and respect other peoples’ lifestyle, food and cultural peculiarities. After all, the main reason for travelling is to experience something new and exotic, isn’t it? 2. However, the process of globalisation is gradually dissolying the borders and cultural integration is progressing. One can enjoy dishes from various cuisines without leaving their town, buy fruit, vegetables and flowers that have never been typical for the region, and even acquire skills necessary for new activities non-typical for the country. Probably, it’s time to break stereotypes that only a Chinese chef can cook Chinese food, or that the only way to see how classical Italian furniture is manufactured is to go to Italy or that one needs to go to France to try the most famous dishes of French cuisine. 3. To get the last point illustrated, let’s refer to one of the most expensive and typically French product — black truffles. Truffle is a kind of mushroom that grows underground and is quite rare even in France French people were sure that truffles would grow nowhere else, but this product of elite cuisine has been harvesting very successfully in. Australia! 4. The first Australian truffles were cultivated in Tasmania about a decade ago. They developed so well in the island’s cool climate and rich soils that 55 truffle farms have since been established in Tasmania, New South Wales and Victoria. The experiment proved to be quite successful in the south of Sydney too, where conditions closely resemble those in Europe’s truffle growing areas. 5. Like in France, it’s not easy to find the precious plants underground. Specially trained dogs sniff the soil under the trees and search for black diamonds”. Australian farmers say that their dogs can smell a truffle 15 cm under the ground from about 35 metres away. According to the farmers, the new business has been very successful and they hope for further development. Australian elite restaurants offer dishes with truffles on their menu and Australian chefs have even surpassed their French colleagues in creativity — among their recent innovations is truffle champagne and truffle ice cream. * Though Australians have already exported their truffles to Europe, they don’t consider French truffle farmers as their competitors. “And it s not because our truffles are not as good as French ones,” a young Australian farmer Paul Read claims, “they meet the highest standards. I would say that they are sometimes even better than French ones, because we experiment a lot more. But our harvesting seasons don’t overlap. The truffle season in Europe, in France to be exact, lasts from December to February, while in Australia we gather them from June to September, during our Australian winter.” Xx •ft Part III Use of English Read the extract from a letter and fill in the gaps.
