7. SHOPPING AND SERVICES
Read and translate the text. Is shopping one of your favorite activities?
Shopping is an activity in which a customer browses the available goods or
services presented by one or more retailers with the intent to purchase a suitable
selection of them. In some contexts it may be considered a leisure activity as well as
an economic one.
The shopping experience can range from delightful to terrible, based on a
variety of factors including how the customer is treated, convenience, and mood.
The shopping experience can also be influenced by other shoppers. For
example, research from a field experiment found that male and female shoppers
who were accidentally touched from behind by other shoppers left a store earlier
than people who had not been touched and evaluated brands more negatively,
resulting in the accidental interpersonal touch effect.
Services are intangible products such as accounting, banking, cleaning,
consultancy, education, insurance, expertise, medical treatment, or transportation.
Sometimes services are difficult to identify because they are closely
associated with a good; such as the combination of a diagnosis with the
administration of a medicine. No transfer of possession or ownership takes place
when services are sold, and they cannot be stored or transported, are instantly
perishable, and come into existence at the time they are bought and consumed.

8. TRAVALLING AND TOURISM
Read and translate the text. Travelling is great, isn’t’ it?
Twenty years ago not many people travelled overseas for their holidays. The
majority of people stayed to have holidays in their country. Today the situation is
different and the world seems much smaller.
It is possible to book a holiday to a seaside resort on the other side of the
world. Staying at home, you can book it through the Internet or by phone. The plane
takes you straight there and within some hours of leaving your country, you can be
on a tropical beach, breathing a super clean air and swimming in crystal warm water
of tropical sea. We can travel by car, by train or plane, if we have got a long
distance tour. Some young people prefer walking or hitch-hike travelling, when you
travel, paying nearly nothing. You get new friends, lots of fun and have no idea
where you will be tomorrow. It has great advantages for the tourists, who want to
get the most out of exploring the world and give more back to the people and places
visited. If you like mountains, you could climb any mountains around the globe and
there is only one restriction. It is money. If you like travelling, you have got to have
some money, because it is not a cheap hobby indeed. The economy of some
countries is mainly based on tourism industry. Modern tourism has become a highly
developed industry, because any human being is curious and inquisitive, we like
leisure, visit other places. That is why tourism prospers.
People travel from the very beginning of their civilization. Thousands years
ago all people were nomads and collectors. They roamed all their lives looking for
food and better life. This way human beings populated the whole planet Earth. So,
travelling and visiting other places are the part of our consciousness. That is why
tourism and travelling are so popular.
Nowadays tourism has become a highly developed business. There are trains,
cars and air jet liners, buses, ships that provide us with comfortable and secure
travelling.

Nowadays people travel not only for pleasure but also on business. People
have to go to other countries for taking part in different negotiations, for signing
some very important documents, for participating in different exhibitions, in order
to exhibit the goods of own firm or company. Travelling on business helps people to
get more information about achievements of other companies, which will help
making own business more successful.
There are a lot of means of travelling: travelling by ship, by plane, by car,
walking. It depends on a person to decide which means of travelling one would
prefer.
