Education in Our Life
Education plays a very important role in our life. It is one of the most val­uable possessions a man can get in his life. During all the periods of human his­tory education ranked high among people. Human progress mostly depended upon well-educated people.
Self-education is very important for the development of human's talents. Only through self-education a person can become a harmonically developed per­sonality. A person becomes a highly qualified specialist after getting some spe­cial education. And professionalism can be reached only through it. Even highly qualified specialists from time to time attend refresher courses to refresh their knowledge.
We get our knowledge of this world and life through education. Many fa­mous discoveries would have been impossible if people were not interested in learning something.
Education develops different sides of human personality, reveals his abili­ties. Besides, it helps a person to understand himself, to choose the right way in this world. The civilized state differs from others in the fact that it pays much attention to the educational policy. John Kennedy said: "Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education". But it doesn't concern only one particular nation. We know that science and art belong to the whole world. Before them the barriers of nationality disappear. So education brings people closer to each other, helps them to understand each other better.

PHONETICS
Exercise 16. Study the rules given above and read correctly
Звук [w]
Прежде чем произносить звук, попробуйте сделать следующие упражнения:
Сильно округлите и выпятите вперёд губы. Продувайте воздух в об­разовавшееся круглое отверстие.
Выпятите губы, затем быстро разведите их в стороны. Повторите упражнение несколько раз.
При произнесении звука [ w ] губы сильно округляются и выдвига­ются вперёд, образуя круглую щель. Затем мгновенно язык и губы перехо­дят в положение для произнесения последующего гласного.
Например:
На письме звук [ w ] передается только буквой w [ dʌbl ju: ]: wait, week, wet, wheel, woe.
Так как в русском языке нет звука [ w ], то его стараются заменить русским звуком «ф», реже «в». При произнесении [ w ] губы округлены и слегка выпячены вперёд. При произнесении [ f, v ] верхние зубы задевают за нижнюю губу как при русском «ф».

DISCUSSION
Exercise 18. Study the rules given above and read the text correctly and then translate
Learning foreigner language
More and more people realize that every educated person should know a for­eigner language. The most popular language now is English. English is a world language. It's the language of progressive science and technology, trade and cultur­al relation, commerce and business. It's the universal language of international avia­tion, shipping and sports. It is also the major language of diplomacy. Hundreds and hundreds of books, magazines and newspapers are printed in English and real all over the world. 75% of the world's mail and 60% of the world's telephone calls are in English. Half of the world's scientific literature is written in English too.
English is spoken by more than 350 million people . It is the official lan­guage of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland of the United States of America, of Australia and New Zealand. English is used as one of the of­ficial languages in Canada, the Republic of South Africa and the Irish Republic. It's also spoken as second language speakers in many parts of Asia and Africa.
The number of second language speakers may soon exceed the number of native speakers. In Russia English is very popular: it is studied at schools, col­leges, universities, and sometimes even at nurse schools. There are also other languages that are popular in the world. For example over 1000 million people use Chinese, the first language in the number of people who speak it, it means that out one of every five people in whole world speaks Chinese. Another popu­lar language is Arabic, which is the official language of several Asia's countries (Iran, Iraq, Syria, United Arab Emirates and others).
Learning a foreign language is not an easy thing. It is a long and slow process that takes a lot of time and patience. But to know languages today is ab­solutely necessary for everyone. I want to know foreign language because I have always been interested in foreign countries and their cultures. You know I think that who doesn't know a foreign language, doesn't know his own language.
