Exercise 1. Translate into Russian:

Phone box, phone book, mobile phone, phone card, fax machine, answering machine, engaged, dial a number, leave a message, phone back, Directory Enquiries, reverse charge call, local call, long distance call, codes, to connect, digit, tone, direct, hands-free, extension, wrong number, units, receiver, operator.

Exercise 2. Read the text, translate it into Russian and then answer the question:

What are your successive actions if you want to call your friend from a phone both?

THE TELEPHONE

The telephone is a necessary means of communication in every day life and in business. If for instance, you want to telephone your friend (or call 11, ring him, give him a ring), you dial his phone number which can be found in the directory. If it is a long-distance call, you may have to ask the operator to connect you.

The phone will ring, and if your friend is at home he will answer by picking up the receiver. If he is busy he may ask you to call back later. If he doesn’t want to speak to you, he may hang up if he is already on the phone when you call him, his num-engaged (busy — A.E.) and you can’t get through. A telephone in a public place is a phone box (booth) or pay phone. To place a local call, pick up the receiver. You will hear a constant (dial tone). Deposit the coins into the slot. When you have deposited the correct amount of charge, you will hear a short beeping signal. When the constant tone returns, dial the number you wish to reach.

In the USA numerous telephone numbers — mostly related to businesses or governmental offices — are prefixed by 800 numbers. These numbers provide free customer service because many companies are interested in getting new customers. If you dial an 800 number, your party will pay the bill. Such calls are toll-free calls. To place an emergency telephone call (ambulance, police, fire), dial 911 or 0. These are also toll-free calls.

Pay phones have numbers in the United States. If you want, anyone can call you at a phone booth. In the USA an office worker, or a clerk, at a bank, hotel or any other institution after picking up a receiver first identifies the institution and then starts talking with a customer.

Say whether the following statements are true or false:

1. In the USA telephone numbers related to businesses or governmental offices — are prefixed by 900 numbers.

2. Such calls are toll-free calls.

3. To place an emergency telephone call dial 911 or 0.

4. In the USA an office worker or any other institution after picking up a receiver first starts talking with a customer.

Exercise 4. Read the text and translate it using the dictionary:

AT THE CUSTOMS HOUSE

The moment a traveller crosses the border their luggage is taken to the customs-house by porters. Every country has its own customs regulations, which stipulate what articles are liable to duty and what are duty-free.

Sometimes an article which falls under customs restrictions and is liable to duty is allowed in duty-free if the traveller does not exceed a certain fixed quota. These are listed in a duty-free quota list. Customs restrictions also include a prohibited articles list. This is a list of items which may not be brought into a country or taken out of it. An official paper (from the proper authorities) giving permission to take items, which fall under special customs restrictions, in or out of a country is known as an import or export license.

If the traveller has any item which comes under customs restrictions he is asked to declare it. That is, he is asked to name the item, stating its value and other particulars. The declaration is made either orally or in writing on a special form. The practice seems to vary in different countries. Upon payment of duty the traveller is given a receipt. As a rule personal effects are duty-free.

It sometimes happens that a passenger’s luggage is carefully gone through in order to prevent smuggling. The formalities at the customs-house usually take some time. Only after passing through the customs does one realize that their journey is drawing to an end (or beginning, as the case might be).

Answer the following questions:

1) What are the duties of a customs inspector?

2) What is the meaning of the question ”Have you anything to declare” one hears at the customs-house so often?

3) What is the phrase “ I have nothing to declare” mean?

4) Do customs restrictions vary in different countries?

5) Have you ever gone through a customs inspection? If so relate your experience.

6) What is a duty-free item?

7) What do we mean by saying that something is an item liable to duty?

Why is smuggling punishable by law?

9) What does the Customs Inspected stamp stand for?

10) Can you name some of the ‘personal effects” one usually takes along on a journey?

Exercise 5. Make up the dialogues, filling in the missing remarks:

1. Could I have your passport, please?

Here are some things to remember: if, for example, you need to go through Customs, try to fill in the customs declaration before you talk to the customs officer. He will ask every passenger the same questions about whether he is carrying anything he wants to declare: like tobacco, alcohol, presents, and sums of money. Then, at the check-in counter, your ticket is looked at, your things are weighed and labeled with their destination. The next formality is filling in the immigration form and going through passport control. You write your name, nationality, permanent address and the purpose of your trip. In most countries there is also a security check when your carry-on-luggage is inspected. After fulfilling all these formalities you go to the departure lounge where you can have a snack, read a paper or buy something in the duty-free shop and wait for the announcement to board the plane.

BY TRAIN TO WASHINGTON
The American passenger railroad is called Amtrak. We boarded the train at Pennsylvania Station. We arrived at the station an hour before departure. As far as I remember, we paid about a hundred dollars for our one-way tickets. I checked in Rich’s big suitcase for him. It was too big and heavy to take into the car as carry-on baggage. We chose a non-smoking car. That was because I had decided to give up smoking.
After we were seated, the conductor collected tickets. He took our tickets and placed seat markers above our seats. I wondered what they were for. I saw our destination – Washington.
It took us just about three hours to reach Washington. Two hours and fifty minutes to be exact. On the train we had some pizza and cold drinks. Rich said he had always traveled by plane to Washington before. It was convenient because the airport in Washington was so close to downtown. But Union Station was literally within sight of the Capitol.

Dealing with stress

It
is common knowledge that people are stressed at work nowadays because
our modern lifestyle can’t provide them with an opportunity to
relax properly. And the problems they have to deal with are becoming
one of the main causes of stress not only at work, but at home as
well.

Another
major cause of stress at work today is increasing job insecurity.
People are afraid that they can lose their job. They don’t feel
that it’s safe. Moreover, working long hours is becoming more and
more common in all European countries. A typical family nowadays is a
working family where both the members have a job and spend most of
their time at their work place. It ruins the work-life balance of
people and results in family problems.

But
men and women deal with stress in different ways. Women are more
flexible and seem to cope with pressures better than men. Many
working women have double pressure on then because they have to look
after their children, work in the home- do the cooking and cleaning –
as well as work in a paying job. But the number of women who become
ill from stress seems to be less than men. This is because women have
a number of strategies to cope with stress. They can express their
emotions openly, which men find difficult to do. They can go to
somebody and talk about their problems. And in general women don’t
pretend that problems don’t exist.

the correct variant in the following sentences.

1. Men/Women
