Text: What is Economics?

Every day we face problems. A house-wife with a limited amount of money with her does a lot of shopping; a shop keeper sells and purchases a large amount of goods; a factory-owner decides how many labourers to employ, how much to produce and what price to sell the product. These and similar problems which arise out of the activity of earning and spending are called economic problems.

The very starting point of economic activities is the existence of wants. Everybody always wants or needs something. We need to eat food, drink water, shelter, clothing and a lot of other things to keep us happy. All these needs are called wants in economic science. Some people have more wants then others, but there is nobody who has no wants at all. Where wants exist, people naturally try to satisfy their wants and it is a fact of life that the means of satisfying wants are limited. Nobody has everything he desires, because goods are scarce in relation to their demand. As goods become scarce, people try to store them and we begin to use such terms as “price”, “value”, etc.

We satisfy our wants by consuming goods and services. We “consume”

13

a thing when we use it for our satisfaction. In some kinds of consumption like eating we immediately use up the goods, whereas when we use a pen or bicycle, or live in a house, we spread the “consumption” over a number of years. Thus if we consume something it has some usefulness for us.

This usefulness or the capacity of a thing to satisfy our wants is called utility. As we buy and sell everything for money, we use money value to compare utilities of various things through money.

Задание 13. Прочитайте, переведите текст Great Britain на русский язык и ответьте на вопросы к тексту. Используйте текст для составления диалога.

Great Britain

Great Britain (official name – the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland) is situated on two large islands, the larger of which is Great Britain, the smaller is Ireland. The total area of Great Britain is 240 000 sq. kms, its population is about 63 mln people.

Great Britain consists of four main parts: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Administratively Great Britain is divided into 55 counties. The biggest cities of Great Britain are London, Birmingham, Glasgow, Liverpool, Manchester, Edinburgh and Cardiff.

Great Britain is a parliamentary monarchy. Officially the head of the state is the Queen (or the King). However, the power of the Queen in Great Britain is not absolute. She acts only on the advice of the ministers and Parliament.

There is no written constitution in Great Britain. The main principles of British legislation are expressed in other documents, like “Magna Carta” and others. As is known British legislation does not provide written guarantees of individual political rights.

Parliament in Great Britain has existed since 1265 and it is the oldest Parliament in the world. It consists of two Houses – the House of Lords and the House of Commons.

The House of Lords consists of 1000 peers who are not elected by people. The House of Commons is a nation-wide representative body which is elected by the people at a general election, within 5 years of the last election after the general election the Queen appoints the head of the government – the Prime Minister. As a rule the Prime Minister is the leader of the party that has won the election. The prime Minister appoints the ministers to make up the government.

14

There are two main political parties in Great Britain: the Conservative Party and the Labour Party. The Conservative party came into being in the 19th century as a result of the evolution of the Tory Party. The Labour Party was founded in 1900. But since 1906 it has become the name of the Labour Party. The Labour Party won the election for the first time in 1945.

Great Britain is a highly-developed industrial country. The main fields of British industry are machine-building, ship building, chemistry, metallurgy and electronics.

Задание 12. Прочитайте и переведите текст Economics as the social science на русский язык и составьте список терминов, используемых в литературе по экономике, с переводом на русский язык.

Text: Economics as a social science

Human wants are unlimited, but the resources necessary to satisfy those wants are limited. Every society has an identical problem, the problem of scarcity.

Everyone – individuals, business, firms and government – need to make choices from among the things they want. In the process they will try to economize, to get the most from what they have. With this in mind, we define economics as the social science that describes and analyzes how society chooses from among scarce resources to satisfy its wants.

17

The need to choose is limited by our income, wealth and ability to borrow. We see that economics deals with the problem of scarcity and choices that have faced societies and nations throughout history but the development of modern economics began in the 17th century. Economists started to develop methods for studying and explaining how individuals, businesses and nations use the economic resources available. Large corporations use economists to study the ways they do business and to suggest methods for making more efficient uses of their employees, equipment, factories and other resources.

The society employs economists to study economic problems and to suggest ways to solve them. Economists develop economic principles and models that try to explain economic events.

The macroeconomics approach is to study the economy as a whole; microeconomics is the study of individual consumers and the individual businesses. Macroeconomics examines questions such as how fast the economy grows, how much overall output is being generated, how much total income is. It also seeks solution of macroeconomical problems such as how to increase employment and output of goods and services.

Microeconomics examines cause-and-effect relationships that influence choices of individuals, business firms and society, and also deals with such things as scarcity, choice, production and consumption. It also studies prices and their relationship to units in the economy.

The study of economics will help you understand economic forces better and enable you to live a happy life. Economic forces also affect decisions in the world of business. In fact, one common definition of economics is “the study of how people make a living”. The more you know about the subject, the better career decisions you will be able to make.

Задание 13. Прочитайте, переведите текст The United States of America на русский язык и ответьте на вопросы. Используйте текст для составления диалога.

The United States of America

After its 200th birthday the United States of America still holds the leading position in the western world. A country that inspired many appellations – “land of Opportunity”, “Melting Pot”, “God’s Country”, is still referred to us as a land of superlatives –“the richest”, “the greatest”, “the most”.

18

What makes the USA the leader of the western world is its economic, political and military dominance over other countries.

The United States lies in the central part of the North American Continent between two oceans: The Atlantic Ocean to the East and the Pacific Ocean to the West. Friendly Canada to the north and friendly Mexico to the south are the only countries bordering it.

There are many big cities and towns in the USA. New York, San Francisco, Washington, Chicago and Los Angeles are the biggest.

United States of America is a parliamentary republic. The government is divided into three branches: legislative (the US CONGRESS), executive (the President and his Administration) and judicial (the Us Supreme Court).

There are two main political parties in the USA: the Democratic (symbolized by a “donkey”) and the Republican (its symbol is an “elephant”). The US president is both head of state and government. He is elected for a four-year term. Presidential elections are held every leap year on the first Tuesday, following the first Monday in November. The President is assisted by Secretaries who are the heads of the executive departments.

The form of the US government is based on the Constitution of September 17, 1787, adopted after the War of Independence. In December 1791, the Congress adopted ten amendments to the Constitution, known as the Bill of rights.

The Congress of the United States is composed of two houses, the Senate and the House of Representatives. The Senate represents the states and the House represents the population according to its distribution among the states. All states have electoral requirements of the same nature. First of all they are residence requirements. Each of the fifty states of the USA has a constitution patterned after the Federal Constitution.

Questions:

1.What are the main political parties in the USA?

2.When are presidential elections held?

3.What is the idea of American judicial practice?

4.When was the US Constitution adopted?

5.Does every state of the USA have its own Constitution?

6.What parties do the donkeys and elephants symbolize?
