Lesson 19

1. Warming up activities

1. In my opinion, countries are territories that have their own territorial, economic, cultural, and political features. They also have their own nature, vegetation, customs and traditions. As I know, there are more than 230 countries in the world today, of which about 197 are sovereign, that is, independent states. Geographically, a certain climate is established in the country, and the climate affects living conditions. Also, some countries have their own national language and religion. People from different countries are also different, they have different looks, different lifestyles, different principles. As they say, we are different - but we are one!

2. If I was given a choice of where I want to live, I would definitely answer that I want to live in a small country. Big cities are big risks. I am not ready to live in a big country, there are a lot of people there, there is always turmoil and noise. It is more pleasant for me to be in a small country with a small number of people, I feel comfortable in such an environment. I would also like to live on an island or peninsula, so that there is an outlet to the world ocean, this creates a kind of illusion of freedom, which also causes positive emotions. I don't know which country I would go to yet, but I want to decide in the next 5 years.

4. Several factors influence the development of national wealth in the country. The first and most important factor is economic growth. This means a steady increase in the production of goods and services in a given country without sudden changes in recessions and crises. Economic growth is a quantitative increase and qualitative improvement of the product and its production factors. The second factor is scientific progress. The modern scientific and technological revolution has greatly expanded the scope of application of science and technology. Various research, developments and innovations have covered the entire economy. The third factor is mastering the forces of nature. In the process of work, a person uses the metabolism between himself and nature, regulates and controls it. By involving natural resources and energy sources in the composition of productive forces, society strengthens its influence on nature, masters the forces of nature, increases national wealth.

5. Extention activities

1. "Big countries inevitably disintegrate." I think this phrase is not quite correct. Yes, big cities are more disputes and disagreements that lead to disintegration. But I think if there is one leader in the country who suits everyone, and everyone follows him, then there will be no problems. If everyone in the country lives in peace, then there should be no disintegration.

2. For me, the ideal way to travel is to travel with people close to me. The beginning of the journey is a train ride. The train has its own atmosphere, which inspires you, makes you think about a lot. You fall asleep and wake up to the unobtrusive sound of the train "Choo-choo-choo". Coming to a warm country allows you to immerse your consciousness in freedom, the sounds of the sea and tents on the beach. Evening and night walks in a new place show all the beauty of the country. After such walks, such a rest, you get back on the train and already go home with the awareness of lightness and lightness. Your body is saturated with the sea and new impressions that overwhelm you, and emotions give themselves the will to come out.
