 Путешествия

Люди на нашей планете не могут прожить без путешествий сегодня. Туризм превратился в высокоразвитый бизнес. Существуют скорые поезда, автомобили и реактивные авиалайнеры, и все эти транспортные средства создают нам комфорт и безопасность.

Какой выбор сделать? Решать вам. Вам предлагается широкий выбор.

Тот, кто живет в деревне, любит ездить в большой город, посещать музеи и художественные галереи, смотреть на витрины магазинов и обедать в экзотических ресторанах. Городским жителям нравится проводить отпуск у моря или в горах.

Большинство путешественников возят с собой фотоаппараты и фотографируют все, что им интересно — вид города, старые церкви, замки, горы, озёра, водопады, леса, деревья, цветы, растения, животных и птиц. Затем, годы спустя, эти фотографии им напомнят о счастливых временах, которые они пережили.

Если вы путешествуете для удовольствия, вы обязательно захотите насладиться живописными уголками, которые проезжаете^ вы пожелаете увидеть интересные места больших и малых городов, а также деревень. Путешествие дает нам прекрасную возможность посмотреть на чудесные памятники, культурные и исторические места, узнать историю страны, которую вы посещаете, о мире вокруг вас, познакомиться с людьми разных национальностей, познакомиться с их традициями, обычаями и культурой. Другими словами, вы расширите свой кругозор.

В наши дни люди путешествуют не только ради удовольствия, но и по делам. Нужно ездить в другие страны, чтобы принимать участие в разных переговорах, подписывать контракты, участвовать в выставках с целью рекламы товаров, производимых вашей фирмой или компанией. Деловые командировки помогают лучше узнать о достижениях других компаний, что, в свою очередь, делает собственный бизнес более успешным.

Существует много способов путешествия: по морю, самолетом, на машине, пешком. Вкусы различны. (На вкус к цвет — товарищей нет). Вот почему вам решать, какой способ передвижения вы предпочтете. Все способы путешествия имеют свои преимущества и недостатки. И люди выбирают тот, который соответствует их планам.

Не удивительно, что самый современный способ путешествия — это путешествие самолетом. Он сочетает в себе комфорт и скорость, вы доберетесь до места назначения очень быстро.

Перед посадкой на самолет вы должны зарегистрироваться в аэропорту. Вам необходимо взвесить багаж. Каждому пассажиру разрешается везти 20 кг багажного веса бесплатно. Но если ваш багаж тяжелее, вы должны произвести дополнительную оплату.

Перед отправлением самолета стюардесса проинформирует вас о полете, скорости и высоте, на которой вы будете лететь. Она попросит вас пристегнуть ремни и не курить. Она позаботится о вас во время полета и поможет вам удобно устроиться в вашем кресле. Внутри кабины воздух всегда свежий и теплый. Во время полета можно вздремнуть или поговорить, почитать и расслабиться.

Когда самолет приземляется или взлетает, у вас есть возможность насладиться прекрасным видом и пейзажами. Во время полета вы пролетаете мимо разных деревень и городов, при виде которых вы понимаете, насколько величественна и необъятна наша планета. Без сомнения, путешествие самолетом — самоё удобное и комфортное средство передвижения.

Но если вы подвержены воздушной болезни, полет может показаться вам не таким уж приятным. К сожалению, иногда рейсы задерживаются из-за неблагоприятных погодных условий. Еще одно неудобство — это опоздание самолета.

Problems of Young People

Remember that there are synonyms for the word:
teenagers = young people = the young = the youngsters
parents = adults = grown-ups
youth (молодость) — the youth (молодежь)

1. The Problem of Misunderstanding with Parents or Teachers

Remember that the cause of misunderstanding in a family is generation gap. Generation gap is  difference in years.

Words to know: complain, accept, be questioned, generate, dissatisfy, warning, make up, encourage, express their identity — выражать свою индивидуальность

Problems with parents. Personal problems can look silly and unimportant to the eyes of grown-ups, who have already passed this period. These problems are caused by generation gap. Every generation is unique in its experience. It has its own ideals and a system of values. Adults always complain that the young are not always what they were. These words are repeated from generation to generation. That’s correct. In fact today the young are better educated. They grow up more quickly. They have more freedom. At present the young do not blindly accept the ideals of their parents.  They don’t believe that they are right only because they are older. But the adults don’t want their values to be questioned. All these differences generate a generation gap when the young and adults don’t understand one another.

As a rule, the adults dissatisfied with their own life, teach the young how to live. Unfortunately they apply old standards to the new way of life.  But the young people don’t want to live in the past. They have their own ideas. They want to make their own mistakes rather than to listen to the warnings of the adults and repeat the mistakes of the older generation. They want to overcome their own difficulties. But grown-ups try to keep teenagers away from all the “dangers”, which makes up life.

Problems with teachers. The same misunderstanding we face sometimes from the side of the teachers. They think that youth is given for studying.  However, school takes all teenagers’ time but the person who only studies is dull.

Another problem is bad marks. Bad marks don’t encourage weak students, they simply can’t do better. Also bad marks can cause problems with parents as they don’t want to understand that their child does his (her) best.

Young people need to be taken seriously. As long as parents and teachers can’t take teenagers seriously, they form their own social groups. So, many teens belong to different subcultures. The members of these youth groups express their own identity (themselves) through clothes, appearance, behavior and music they listen to. They have their own values and beliefs.

1.1. Express your opinion on the points. Give good reasons or examples from your life.

1. there is always some sense in parents words;

2. the best way to solve problems with parents is to talk peacefully;

3. that the best tactics is not to contradict the parents.

1.2. Answer the questions.

1. Do you often quarrel with your parents?

2. Do you have much in common with your parents?

3. Do you always understand your parents? Do they understand you? What are the reasons of misunderstanding?

4. Do your parents help you to solve your problems?

2. The Problem of Communication / Problem with Friends

Words to know: to socialize, entertainment, opportunity, to bully, a bully, hurt, victim, pick on — приставать, avoid — избегать, stand up for — защищать, abuse – жестоко обращаться, threaten — угрожать, tease — дразнить, cause harm – причинять вред

Communication has always been an important part of young people’s life. It is very difficult to be on good terms (get on) with everybody as all people are different. Sometimes teenagers don’t feel comfortable in a group because they are too shy or not very strong. But every human needs to socialize and it is the reason why they prefer different ways of communication.

Today teenagers can choose between traditional and new ways of communication. Traditionally they meet after classes with their school friends, make parties, go to the cinema or disco clubs to have fun, relax and make new friends.

But if the young people do not like noisy clubs and other places of entertainment, they can find friends without leaving their homes – the Internet gives them such an opportunity. They can sit for twenty hours chatting with their friends.

2.1. Express your opinion on the points. Give good reasons or examples from your life.

1. It is a problem to choose good friends.

2. There can be only two or three real friends.

3. «Friends are thieves of time» (an English proverb).

2.2. Answer the questions.

1. What makes people friends?

3. The Problem of Addiction / Health Problems

Words to know: addiction, unability, properly, curiosity, sensations, on the contrary,  undermine, lively, listless, detached — отстраненный, dependence, injection — инъекция.

Every type of addiction is dangerous for a personality. For an addiction we mean the unability to stop doing actions that are harmful for health.

Let us take for example, computer games. Nowadays many young people are keen on computer games. Such young people don’t eat, sleep, work or learn properly. It’s a great problem and parents don’t know how to make them get interested in a real life.

The tragic effect of drug-addiction is experienced by millions of people. The use of drugs starts at school, at parties, in discotheques, etc, when youngsters are no more than 15 to 17 years old. Often they make their first “try” out of curiosity – or so as not to be “different” from their “mates”. They want to get new, unexpected sensations, they hope it will stimulate their imagination and creative abilities. But, on contrary, drugs actually undermine creativity.

As a result of regular use of drugs an active and lively personality turns into a listless person, lacking in energy and without any interests. Life becomes focused on the need to get and apply drugs. It means that the total personality becomes influenced by the regular use of drugs. The addict gradually loses his or her better moral characteristics, becomes detached from friends and family. Drugs don’t mean enjoyment, they mean dependence. And it is too late when all the victims realize it. It can take a year or six months for that “dependence” to develop – but more often, just a month or two. Sometimes a person can become addicted after just one injection.

Young people can have health problems caused by smoking or drinking beer. They do it to look older and more independent.

3.1. Comment on the following.

1. If you are keen on computer games, you have lost interest in a real life.

2. If you are keen on computer games, you don’t have any friends.

3. Only weak people can be addicted.

3.2. Составьте несколько предложений по проблеме наркомании, используя конструкцию Complex Subject.

ОБРАЗЕЦ Drug addiction is said to be experienced by 30 millions of Russia’s population.

4. Problem of Love

Words to know: stable relations, inexperienced, pregnancy — беременность, a proposal — предложение руки, break down — распадаются.

The problem of love is very important for young people. They believe that love can last forever. They think that desire and passion in love are enough. Unfortunately, often their hearts are broken. Young people are not always ready to have stable relations. In many cases they are too young and inexperienced to begin a family life.

Sometimes their relationships lead to early marriages and teenage pregnancy. But young people do not realize responsibilities when make a proposal of marriage. Early marriage, pregnancy and upbringing a baby can destroy their career plans, prevent from fulfilling their dreams. Only few marriages in youth end up happily. The majority of them break down in a year or two.

4. Answer the questions:

1. Do you believe in «love with first sight»?

2. Do you think that love at this age can be true?

3. What should young people do if they love each other? Should they be together or wait until their coming of age (совершеннолетия)?

Some are difficult to enter, others are easy to enter. Some of them prepare specialists who can easily find a prestigious and well-paid job, others offer their graduates only poor-paid positions.

The choice of the educational institutions depends on the school you study at, your parents, the financial conditions of the family, your likes and dislikes. But everbody has to study hard because to enter a good institute they must have good score on their exam test.

It is a great problem to find a suitable institute and a profession for the rest of your life. But it is very important as making the wrong choice will influence your future life.

1. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML)

Artificial Intelligence, also known as AI, started gaining popularity a decade ago. It has still not slowed down and continues to be one of the leading emerging technologies in 2023. AI is constantly evolving, and newer applications for this emerging technology continue to spring upon the scene. Today’s most popular AI applications are image and speech recognition, navigation programs, voice assistants like Siri and Alexa, and much more.

Organisations are looking to use AI to analyse customer and business interactions to derive insights and identify triggers. It will help them predict the demand for services such as hospitals or tourism and aid in the improvement of resource allocation for various projects.

Machine Learning (ML) is a part of AI and uses supervised learning to learn new functions. It has seen a massive surge in demand for skilled professionals, making it an attractive trend to watch. According to Forrester, AI and Machine Learning will be responsible for 9% of all new jobs in the US by 2025.

Note that these salary ranges can vary depending on factors such as location, years of experience, industry, and company size. These are just rough estimates to give you an idea of the average salaries for these job roles. Enquire Now 

2. Robotic Process Automation (RPA)

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) uses multiple software and applications to automate business processes such as data collection and analysis, customer service and other repetitive tasks managed previously through manual processes.

Like AI and Machine Learning, RPA is a rapidly advancing future technology that automates many jobs across different industries. McKinsey has analysed that fewer than 5% of jobs today can be entirely automated, but nearly 60% can be automated at least partially.

RPA offers several new career options and trajectories such as a programmer, project manager, business analyst or consultant. It also opens doors to high-paying jobs with a moderate learning curve in leading organisations. Choosing this emerging technology as a career move can profit you immensely.

Here are some popular job options in RPA and their respective salaries as per data collected from various authentic sources:

3. Edge Computing

Today, millions of data points are collecting user information from various sources such as social media, websites, emails, and web searches. As the amount of data collected increases exponentially, other modern technologies like cloud computing fall short in several situations.

Till a decade back, Cloud Computing was one of the fastest-growing technologies. However, it has become fairly mainstream, with the market dominated by major players such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform.

As more organisations adopted Cloud Computing, they found several limitations in the technology. Edge Computing helps to bypass the latency that Cloud Computing causes and helps organisations to get data into a data centre for processing. It can exist ‘on edge’, in the sense that it is closer to where the data processing will ultimately take place. Edge Computing is used to process time-sensitive data in far-off locations with limited or no connectivity.

Note that these salary ranges can vary depending on factors such as location, years of experience, industry, and company size. These are just rough estimates to give you an idea of the average salaries for these job roles.

4. Quantum Computing

Quantum Computing is a type of computing that focuses on developing computer technology based on the principles of quantum theory. This theory explains the behaviour of energy and materials on atomic and subatomic levels. In other words, it performs calculations based on the probability of an object’s state before measurement instead of just 0’s and 1’s.

Quantum Computing can easily query, analyse and take action based on given data, regardless of the source. It played a major role in preventing COVID-19 and developing new vaccines. These computers are exponentially faster than normal computers. The revenue for the Quantum Computing market is projected to cross $2.5 billion by 2029.
