Будучи еще школьником я мучился, но продолжал выковыривать по одному !!! топику и негодовал:" почему БЫ этим умным дядькам и тетькам не поместить сразу все топики на одной странице и не испытывать терпение добросовестных учеников, заставляя их сохранять каждый файл по отдельности."

После этого я подрос и, вспомнив свое былое недовольство, решил исправить такое недоразумение. Теперь Вы легко можете скопировать всю страницу (делается это клавишами CTRL + A , затем CTRL + INSERT) и скинуть ее в Ваш любимый WORD (SHIFT + INSERT), после чего распечатываете и учите,учите, учите....

Если Вам все таки нужен только один единственный и неповторимый топик, то Вы его легко сможете найти по ключевому слову ( при помощи клавиш Ctrl + F), прочесть, а, если он заслуживает Вашего дальнейшего внимания, выделить его мышкой и заграбастать всё тем же способом.

"Shopping"

I would like to tell you about shopping in the United Kingdom. Marks & Spencer is Britain's favorite store. Tourists love it too. It attracts a great variety of customers from house wives to millionaires. Princess Diana, Dustin Hoffman and the British Prime-minister are just a few of its famous customers. Last year it made a profit of 529 million pounds. Which is more than 10 million a week. It all started 105 years ago when a young Polish immigrant Michael Marks had a stall in Leeds market. He didn't have many things to sell: some cotton, a little wool, lots of buttons and a few shoelaces. Above his stall he put the now famous notice: "Don't ask how much - it's a penny." Ten years later he met Tom Spencer and together they started Penny stalls in many towns in the North of England. Today there are 564 branches of Marks & Spencer all over the world: in America, Canada, Spain, France, Belgium and Hungary. The store bases its business on 3 principals: good value, good quality and good service. Also, it changes with the times; once it was all jumpers and knickers. Now it is food, furniture and flowers as well. Top fashion designers advice on styles of clothes. Perhaps, the most important key to its success is its happy well-trained staff. Conditions of work are excellent. There are company doctors, dentists, hairdressers, etc. And all the staff can have lunch for under 40 pence. Surpassingly tastes in food and clothes are international. What sells well in Paris, sells just as well in Newcastle and Moscow. Their best selling clothes are: for women - jumpers and knickers (M & S is famous for its knickers); for men - shirts, socks, pajamas, dressing gowns and suits; for children - underwear and socks. Best sellers in food include: fresh chickens, vegetables and sandwiches, "Chicken Kiev" is internationally the most popular convince food. Shopping in Britain is also famous for its Freshfood. Freshfood is a chain of food stores and very successful supermarkets which has grown tremendously in the twenty years since it was founded, and now it has branches in the High Streets of all the towns of any size in Britain. In the beginning the stores sold only foodstuffs, but in recent years they have diversified enormously and now sell clothes, books, records, electrical and domestic equipment. The success of the chain has been due to an enterprising management and to attractive layout and display in the stores. It has been discovered that impulse buying accounts for almost 35 per cent of the total turn over of the stores. The stores are organized completely for self-service and customers are encouraged to wander around the spaciously laid out stands. Special free gifts and reduced prices are used to tempt customers into the stores and they can't stand the temptation.

Traveling.

Modern life is impossible without raveling. Thousands of people travel every day either on busyness or for pleasure. They can travel by air, by rail, by see or by road. Traveling by air is the fastest and the most convenient way, but it is the most expensive too. To my mind raveling by train is more interesting. You can see interesting places of the country you are traveling throughout. Modern trains have very comfortable seats. There are also sleeping carriages and a dining-carrige which make even the longest journey enjoyable. Raveling by sea is very popular. On board of ship you can enjoy your trip. There are tennis and badminton grounds, a swimming-pool, a cinema and a dancing hall there. Some people prefer raveling by car. If you have your own car you may go to the Black Sea, where there are a lot of rest-houses, sanitariums and tourist camps. In the daytime you can have a nice opportunity to play volleyball, swim in the warm water of the sea and sunbathe. In the evening you like to sit on the beach watching the sea and enjoying the sunset. As for me I'm a hiker. I like to go on a hike to the mountains or to the forest. You go agree with me that it is pleasant to gather mushrooms and berries in the forest, swim in the river, make a fire and prepare meals on it. On my weekend I take a tent, a rucksack and go to railway station take the train. In an hour I find myself out of noisy city. The air is fresh, birds sing their merry songs. To make my long story short I'd like to say that raveling is one of my hobbies. Raveling helps me to see to coutry-side better, to know about customs and traditions of the Republic, to meet people and make friends with them.

Protection of Environment.

With the development of civilization man's interference in nature grows up. It leads to different negative factors are: the pollution of water, air, soil and the destruction of the ozone layer. This problem must be solved if we want to preserve life on our planet. This problem is global problem that's why all countries of the world, all people, young and old, must take an active part in the protection of natural resources rationly. Factoriyes and plants must have purification systems to preserve the purity of water, air and soil.
We must take care of plants, trees, animals, birds and fishes, especially of those that are dying out. We also have a Red Book where rare and dying out plants, birds, animals are registered. Though the role of people in the solution of ecological problems has greatly increased, we can't say that we are doing all in our power, to stop harmful processes in preserving the environment. The folowing radical measures must be taken:

1. The replanting of trees that have been cut down;
2. Nuclear tests should be stopped;
3. Purificution systems must be installed at plants and factories;
4. Natural resources should be used more rationally;
5.Rare and dying out birds, animals and plant's should be protected;
6.Precaution measures should be taken against the destruction of the ozone layer.
