№2. Read the text and translate it:

The word “science” comes from the Latin word “scientia”, which means “knowledge”. Science covers the broad field of knowledge that deals with facts and the relationship among these facts. Scientists study a wide variety of subjects. Some scientists search for clues to the origin of the Universe and examine the structure of the cells of living plants and animals. Other researches investigate why we act the way we do, or try to solve complicated mathematical problems.

Scientists use systematic methods of study to make observations and collect facts. They develop theories that help them order and unity facts. Scientific theories consist of general principals or laws that attempt to explain how and why something happens or happened. A theory is considered to become a part of scientific knowledge if it has been tested experimentally and proved to be true.

Scientific study can be divided into three major groups: the natural, social and technical sciences. As science, knowledge grew and became more complicated. Many new fields of science appeared. At the same time, the boundaries between scientific fields became less clear. Numerous areas of science overlap each other and it is often hard to tell where one science ends and another begins. All sciences are closely interconnected. Science has great influence on our life. It provides the basis of modern technology – the tools and machines that make our life and work easier. The discoveries and inventions of scientists also help shape our view about ourselves and our place in the Universe.

Samuel Colt was an American. He lived in the 19^th century. In 1836 he designed and patented a pistol. It was a pistol with a revolving barrel that could fire six bullets one after another. It was the first pistol of its kind. Later there came many other pistols with six

bullets.

Rudolf Diesel was a German engineer. He was born in 1858 and died in 1913. In 1897 he invented a new internal combustion engine. This engine is known as a diesel. And it began a transport revolution in cars, lorries, trains and ships.

Samuel Finley Morse was born in 1791. He died in 1872. He was a portrait painter. Then he became an inventor. For twelve years he tried to perfect the telegraph and he was a success. Later he invented the telegraphic dot-and-dash alphabet. Now it is known as Morse code. Morse code was not only one in America of that time. There were some others. But now we use Morse code all over the world.

Charles Makintosh lived from 1766 to 1843. He lived in Scotland and was a chemist by profession. He worked in a textile industry. In 1823 he developed a rubber solution. This rubber solution was used for raincoat production. Raincoats with this rubber solution didn’t allow water to penetrate. These raincoats were called makintoshes. Now people all over the world use them in spring and in autumn.

Charles Rolls was born in 1881 in Great Britain. He died in 1910. He was an aristocrat and businessman. He was especially interested in cars. Once he met another enthusiast of cars Henry Royce. Henry Royce was a famous car engineer. They decided to design the most comfortable and reliable car. At the beginning of the 20^th century it seemed to be a fantasy. But they worked hard and at last in 1907 they created the famous Rolls-Royce car. It was so comfortable and reliable that one of the models of Rolls-Royce cars «Silver Ghost» hadn’t changed greatly for 20 years since 1907.

Gottlieb Daimler and Charles Benz were two inventors. They lived in Germany. They were both interested in car production. At the end of the 19^th century, each of them designed a car. At the same time, they organized two independent firms to produce them.

All the cars produced by the firm of Daimler were called «Mercedes». Mercedes was a daughter’s name of one of the stockholders of the firm. This man saved the firm of Daimler from financial crisis at the beginning of the 20^th century. But after the World War I the firm of Daimler met with financial difficulties again.

Famous Inventors and their inventions

The Pencil. In 1564, a graphite mine was found in Cumbria. The graphite was cut into sticks, the sticks were put into wooden holders – and the pencil was born. One pencil can draw a line 56 kilometres long. It can write about 45,000 words. Today, pencils are used by people all over the world.

The Fizzy Drink. Do you enjoy drinking fizzy drinks? You’re not alone. In the UK, the average person drinks 96.5 litres of fizzy drinks a year. The fizzy drink was invented by British chemist Joseph Priestly (1733-1804). Priestly found a way to put gases in liquids. He made the first glass of man-made soda water in 1767. Priestly didn’t know it, but he was changing the drinking habits of the world forever.

The Match. Today, matches are found in every kitchen. They are used to light cookers, candles and campfires. The match was invented in 1826 by British chemist John Walker (1781-1859). Unfortunately, Walker did not patent his matches, so he didn’t get much money for this important invention.

The Christmas Card. Sir Henry Cole (1808-1882) was bored with writing letters to people at Christmas. In 1843, Cole paid an artist to draw a Christmas picture. Then he printed the picture on cards and sent them to all his friends and relatives. Cole realised he could make money from the cards. He made another 1,000 cards and sold them, and the Christmas card was born.

The Electric Toaster. Have you ever thought about the word “toast”? It comes from the Latin word “tostum” which means “to burn.” People have made toast for hundreds of years as a way of prolonging the life of bread. At first, it was made by toasting bread over an open fire. Then, in 1893, Englishman Rookes Evelyn Bell Crompton invented the first electric toaster. Unfortunately, his toaster wasn’t efficient. It only toasted one side of the bread.

Lesson 6

Дресс-код. Правила поведения

№1. Read and translate the text “Dress code at the workplace”

A dress code indicates conformity, a sense of belonging and to a degree a sense of discipline. It creates an atmosphere of uniformity. It gives you a method to identify yourself with a larger group through the way you dress. Above all, it clears confusion for most people as to what is expected of them – no one wants to be that person who is underdressed or worse, overdressed. When there are set rules, it is easy to follow them.

In the corporate world, it is very common for men to “wear a suit” to work – a collared long sleeve shirt, a tie and smart pants with a jacket, along with smart shoes. Wearing a suit to work shows your respect and attitude towards your job. If you’re dressed smartly, and you’re neat and tidy it implies that you’re a hardworking person who is dedicated to their work.

Women wear something similar to what men wear. It is more common and acceptable for women to wear pants now, so either smart pants with a shirt and a jacket. There is also the option of wearing a skirt – which should never be shorter than a hand above the knee. Anything higher will be seen as inappropriate and unacceptable. Each company has their own dress code. Some companies are more relaxed than others.
