Помогите ответить на вопросы: 1) Why is everyone talking about globolisation? 2) Is it good or bad or inevtitable?

Я не согласна с Мелани потому что я считаю что в школе тоже бывает весело и всегда проводятся интересные мероприятия.

сентября я поступила в Volga Region State collede. Здесь мне очень нравиться. Здесь хорошие преподаватели и студенты. В будущем я хочу открыть собственный сервисный центр, а в дальнейшем и свою компьютерную компанию.

KINGDOM

1. Britons, and the English in particular, are notoriously undemonstrative. The “stuff upper lip” is not just the stuff of fiction and emotional displays, positive or negative, are generally frowned upon. Gestures such as backslapping and hugging are discouraged and a wide distance should be maintained between participants in a conversation. Maintaining eye contact may be necessary when you are trying to emphasize important points but you must avoid any temptation to “eye-ball”. Talking loudly is unacceptable and shouting is beyond the pale. Some old-fashioned interlocutors may not hear you if you have your hands in your pockets. The British do not gesticulate frantically.

2. Introductions can be tricky. Ideally the British prefer third-party introductions but in certain situations, like a drinks party, it may not always be possible and, though awkward, you may just have to go ahead and introduce yourself. Firm handshakes are the norm as part of a formal introduction but may not be expected at subsequent meetings or on social occasions; a gentleman should always wait for a woman to proffer her hand before squeezing it gently. The continental habit of exchanging kisses has gained currency especially amongst the young and the affected but is not recommended for visitors – even the natives are unsure of the correct procedure.

3. “How do you do?” is a greeting not a question. It is used when people are introduced for the first time only and the correct response is to repeat “How do you do?” which is a more or less sincere enquiry as to your well-being.

4. This emotional detachment or even apparent indifference also explains the British abhorrence of Americanisms such as “Have a nice day”. The objection lies not in the sentiment itself but in the lack of sincerity that is implied to the stand-offish British mentality.

5. If the British use few words, it is because they prefer to mean those they do use. They are polite and courteous for the most part. They expect to be treated with respect, in turn for which they will treat you with respect, so: – if there is a queue, go to the back of the line and wait patiently; - do not use the “V” – sign (raising the index and middle fingers) unless you are sure which is the Churchillian version signifying peace or victory (palm outwards); the use of the alternative version (palm inwards) is less common nowadays but is still vulgar and offensive.

6. A service charge of 10-15 % is almost always included in hotel and restaurant bills and you should be wary of establishments that leave the credit card slip open for you to include an additional contribution (if you wish to reward exceptional service give cash directly to the staff). Do not tip bar staff in pubs where there is no table service. Otherwise taxi drivers (especially in London), hairdressers, porters, etc. will expect 10-15 % or a couple of pounds, whichever is the greater.

OFFICE AUTOMATION
1. Office automation refers to the varied computer machinery and software used to digitally create, collect, store, manipulate, and relay office information needed for accomplishing basic tasks. Raw data storage, electronic transfer, and the management of electronic business information comprise the basic activities of an office automation system. Office automation helps in optimizing or automating existing office procedures.
2. The backbone of office automation is a LAN , which allows users to transmit data, mail and even voice across the network. All office functions, including dictation, typing, filing, copying, fax, Telex, microfilm and records management, telephone and telephone switchboard operations, fall into this category. As office methods evolved to take full advantage of new technologies, there was a corresponding increase in innovations tailor-made to optimize office processes. Office automation was a popular term in the 1970s and 1980s as the desktop computer exploded onto the scene.
3. Advantages are:
1. Office automation can get many tasks accomplished faster.

was born in 1564 in Stradford-upon-Avon. He probably attended the local grammar school and got a classical education. In 1582 he married Anne Hathaway and had 3 children. Little is known of his life before 1592, when he appeared as a playwright in London. Soon he became an actor playing supporting roles like the ghost in "Hamlet". In 1599 Shakespeare became a part owner of the Globe Theatre in London.
Shakespeare's work as a playwright is subdivided into 3 periods. Written in the first period, Shakespeare's plays are mostly history plays like "Henry VI", and comedies with strong elements of farce. His masterpiece of this period is "Romeo and Juliet". In the second period Shakespeare wrote a number of comedies where he moved away from farce towards romance. In the third period, after 1600, appeared his major tragedies - "Hamlet", "Othello". They presented a clear opposition of order to chaos, good to evil. Shakespeare was a great poet and would be well known for his poetry alone. His major achievement as a poet is his sonnets, first published in 1609. A sonnet is a poem consisting of 14 lines, with a moral at the end. The sonnets are addressed to some "W.H.", and to mysterious "Dark Lady of Sonnets". The sonnets deal with the great themes of love, friendship, death, change and immortality. Shakespeare looks at his own poetry as a means of immortality. Shakespeare's sonnets are excellent. They are full of harmony and music; they praise love, friendship and beauty, though there is no sentimentality in them. Shakespeare's poetry is at the summit of human achievement. Many centuries have passed since his death in 1616, but Shakespeare is still considered to be the greatest of all playwrights and poets.
Перевод:Уильям Шекспир является величайшим драматургом из всех драматургов. Не так много известно о его жизни. Вероятно, он был сыном бизнесмена и родился в 1564 году в Страдфорд-на-Эйвоне. Онучился в местной гимназии и получил классическое образование. В 1582 году он женился на Энн Хэтэуэй и имел троих детей. Мало что известно о его жизни до 1592, он появился в качестве драматурга в Лондоне. Вскоре он стал актером, играющий роли второго плана, как призрак в "Гамлете". В 1599 Шекспир стал совладельцем Globe Theatre в Лондоне. Работа Шекспира как драматурга подразделяется на три периода. Написано в первом периоде, пьесы Шекспира в основном история пьесы, как "Генриха VI" и комедии с сильными элементами фарса ("Комедия ошибок"). Его шедевр этого периода является "Ромео и Джульетта". Во втором периоде Шекспир написал ряд комедий, где он отошел от фарса к романтике ("Как вам это понравится"). В третьем периоде, после 1600, появились его основные трагедии - "Гамлет", "Отелло". Они представили четкую оппозицию порядка к хаосу, хорошее ко злу. Шекспир был великим поэтом и будут известными только его поэзии. Его главным достижением как поэт является его сонеты, впервые опубликованный в 1609 году. Сонет это стихотворение, состоящее из 14 строк, с моралям в конце. Сонеты адресованы некоторых "В. Н." и к таинственному "Dark леди сонетов". Сонеты имели дело с великими темами любви, дружбы, смерти, изменения и бессмертия. Шекспир смотрит на свой страх и поэзии как средство бессмертия. Сонеты Шекспира превосходны. Они полны гармонии и музыки; они хвалят любовь, дружбу и красоту, хотя в них нет сентиментальности. Поэзия Шекспира на саммите человеческих достижений. Много веков прошло со дня его смерти в 1616 году, но Шекспир до сих пор считается величайшим из всех драматургов и поэтов.
