Where can tourists….

1. learn more about extreme sports?

2. see a country which is as large as America?

3. enjoy the most splendid view of the Niagara Falls?

4. have lunch at a sand dune?

A.

Canada has an area of nearly ten million square kilometers. It is a country of lakes. Since the building of the St. Lawrence Seaway the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River form a great water way from the Atlantic to the heart of the country. The Niagara Falls on the Niagara River between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario are one of the most splendid sights in the world.

B.

New Zealand is famous for its geysers, thermal springs, its national past time rugby and extreme sports. It is a mountainous country. Most of North Island and the south-west of South island have good forests of evergreen trees and large areas are rich grasslands. Tourists are offered such extreme amusements as tramping through virgin forest, rafting on rushing mountain rivers, jumping from helicopters and bridges into precipices and water.

C.

Australia is massive and very sparsely peopled: in size in rivals the USA, yet it’s population is just over eighteen million. This is an ancient land, and often looks it. In contrast, its cities – most of which were founded as recently as the mid nineteenth century – express a youthful energy.

D.

Indian people are very friendly and hospitable. I continued to travel in India at a snail’s pace. The longer we were out in the desert, the more beautiful it grew, so peaceful and romantic as the land shifted from scrub bush to sand dunes to rocky hills and back to sand dunes. Each day we could stop at a new sand dune for lunch.

E.

Dubai (a land of sunrise) was once a part of a large desert. But now it is a green island of everlasting summer, a centre of world entertainment, and a civilized city in the United Arab Emirates. There are wonderful buildings of glass, skyscrapers, peaceful fountains in the middle of flower gardens, and meadows with colorful plants.

Doubts About Democracy

Life has become better since the end of the cold war.* Now a majority of people lives under democratic systems - 54,8 percent of them, to be exact. So, the idea of democracy is a global reality. But there is just one problem. The democracy we see around the world often has an ugly face.

Suppose the election was free and fair. But it brought to power racists, fascists or separatists, who publicly oppose to peace and integration. It does happen: democratically elected leaders ignore constitutional limits on their power and the basic rights of the people.

The Western democracy has always meant liberal democracy - not only free and fair elections but also the respect of the basic rights. Now we see the rise of illiberal democracy - a lot of elections but few individual rights like the rule of law, free speech or private property. People in the countries without a tradition of ethnic harmony often vote along racial, religious or ethnic lines.

8.1   Which of these ideas come from the article?

1. Many nations live under democratic systems now but there are liberal and illiberal democracies.

2. Most people now have the right to vote freely. But it is not enough if governments ignore their basic rights.

3.  Free and fair elections can guarantee the basic rights.

8.2Find the right Russian equivalent of the following phrases.

(reading for specific information/learning to translate)

1The democracy we see around the world often has an ugly face.

1.  И мы видим, что демократия и мир вокруг нас нередко имеют безобразный лик.

2.  Демократия, которую мы видим в мире, часто имеет безобразный лик.

2 Suppose the election was free and fair.

1.  Подразумевается, что выборы были бесплатными и благоприятными.

2.  Предположим, что выборы были свободными и справедливыми.

. 3 It does happen: democratically elected leaders ignorе constitutional limits on their power and the basic rights of the people.

1.  И это действительно происходит: демократически избранные лидеры конституционным путем ограничивают как свою власть, так и основные права народа.

2.  И это действительно происходит: демократически избранные лидеры игнорируют конституционное ограничение своей власти и основные права народа.
