• the public mood, behavior, generosity, discontent, poor corporate performance, bosses, a strong feeling, a different set of rules, ordinary mortals

Give the Russian equivalent of these very words and repeat them again in the correct order.

Exercise 4: Here is an extract from the article “The rewards of failure” that was not included in the text of your course book. Read it once, make it more laconic if possible and retell it. Translate carefully the underlined collocations:

Pay, yes, but only for performance Some of the aspects of Mr Garnier's package that most irritated the shareholders were ones that appeared to reward, not superior performance, but simply being there. Lots of bosses have such components in their pay. Sometimes, they take the form of “golden hellos”: large sums simply for turning up to work. Sometimes, such packages are really tax-efficient ways of making other payments, such as buying a company from its owner by paying him partly in lifelong free medical treatment. It is hardly surprising that such deals are protected in the event of dismissal. However, to improve openness and to avoid appearing to reward failure, companies should be prepared to pay the price of a little less tax efficiency.

Exercise 5: Which words in the sentences below could be “dropped out” with no special impact on the contents and meaning? Reformulate the sentences and translate them into Russian, please. The blanks are to write there your versions.

The original sentence from the text	The sentence with no “unnecessary”, “excrescent” words	The Russian translation
But the vote leaves the company, with which, of course, Mr Garnier has a contract, in a sort of legal limbo.	But the vote leaves the company in a sort of legal limbo.
Institutional investors have for years accepted that bosses paid themselves more or less whatever they liked.
The board of GlaxoSmithKline, a big pharmaceutical company, found itself this week at the sharp end of such a mood change: its shareholders voted to reject the company's remuneration committee report, which would have endorsed a two-year notice period for Jean-Pierre Garnier, its chief executive; paid him $35m if he lost his job; and treated him and his wife as three years older than they actually are for the purpose of boosting their pensions.
This is the first year that share-holders have had the right to vote on the compensation committee's report, and the vote is purely advisory, with no binding force. But it leaves the company, with which, of course, Mr Garnier has a contract, in a sort of legal limbo.

Exercise 2. Tрансформационное чтение. Учащиеся должны пересказать текст упражнения, не переводя. Read the text “Lima, Peru’s capital” only once and retell. Pre-reading task: translate underlined expressions into Russian and learn them by heart.

« Most of Lima’s seven million people live in poverty, barely scratching a living to feed large families. Cholera outbreaks have been common in the past few years, and the city has been the target of political assassinations, bombings, and state-sponsored terrorism.

Regional buses and trains depart from Lima to all corners of the country. The Central Railway of Peru has the highest standard-gauge railway in the world.

The provinces of Lima and Callao, each with its own government, make up the Lima metropolitan area. There are 45 municipal districts, including the capital district of Lima, within the metropolitan area. Each district is administratively autonomous, with a mayor and city council. Each district generates revenues, such as property taxes, to provide services to its citizens.

Lima is the leading industrial, financial, and retail center in the nation. With nearly 30 percent of the country's population, the city dictates the national economy and accounts for more than two-thirds of the nation's gross domestic product (GDP).

The national government has been a traditional leading employer, but the privatization of state companies left thousands of people out of work during the mid-1990s. The city suffers from severe unemployment and underemployment, and many people who work just barely manage to feed their families.

Lima is home to some fine universities, including the National University of San Marcos, the oldest university in the Americas (1551), La Molina National Agrarian University, and the National Engineering University. The city has several private universities. Among them are the University of Lima, Pontifical Catholic University of Peru, Ricardo Palma University, University of San Martín de Porres, Women's University of the Sacred Heart, and University of the Pacific.»
