Part I. Lesson 1
I. Read the following words and word combination and learn their meanings by heart:
Economics - економіка (наука); an economy - економіка (господарство); ancient - time - стародавні часи; to hunt - полювати; trade - торгівля, торгувати; wealth - багатство; to describe - описувати; commerce - торгівля, комерція; commercial - торговий, комерційний; since - that time - з того часу; a branch - галузь; rapidly - швидко; employment - зайнятість; however - однак; definition - визначення; relationship - стосунки; scarce resources - недостатні ресурси.
II. Read and translate the text: what is economics?
Economy is as old as hills. It is probably the first art which man acquired. When in ancient times some people went out to hunt while others stayed to defend the fire and still others traded (exchange) some things for other ones, in all these cases we had economy.
But Economics as an academic discipline is comparatively new. The development of modern economics began in the 17th century when the first important book on Economics was published in 1776. It was "The Wealth of Nations" written by Adam Smith (1723-1790). The author of this book was a Scottish economist. When he published the book Adam Smith was 53 years old. In the book he described the new world of industry and commerce. The fact is that his book founded classical economics modern for that time.
Since that time the subject developed rapidly. Now there are many-branches of the subject. They are microeconomics, international economics, econometrics and so on.
There is an economic aspect to almost any topic we mention - education, health care, religion, employment, housing, transport, defense, etc.
Economics is a theory of how society works. It seems to be clear. However, it is difficult to define economics. There are many definitions of it.
The great classical economist Alfred Marshall defined: "Economics is the study of man in the everyday business of life". J. Beardshaw, a British economist, gave more modern definition. It is: "The human science which studies the relationship between resources and the various users which compete for these resources." One common definition of economics is "the study of how people make a living".
Economics is the social science that describes and analyses choices from among scarce resources to satisfy its wants. The fields of political science, sociology, psychology, and economics often overlap. Because of the abundance of economic data and the ample opportunity for scientific research in the real world, economics have sometimes been called "the queen of the social sciences''. Reflecting the scientific nature of economics, the Swedish Academy of Science in 1969 instituted the Nobel Prize in Economic Science.
III. Retell the text according to the following questions:
1. How old is economy? 2. What is the first art which man acquired? 3. When was the first book on Economics published? 4. Who was the author of the book? 5. What is described in the book? 6. What branches of economics are there? 7. Why are there many definitions of economics? 8. How did A. Marshall define economy? 9. What is J.Beardshaw's definition of economics? 10. Why is economics sometimes called "the queen of social sciences"? 11. When was the Nobel Prize in Economic Science instituted?
IV. Learn the following groups of:
a) synonyms:
Soil-land, distribute-divide, do-act, problem-question, rich-wealthy, labour-work-job, last-past, significant-important.
b) of antonyms:
Rich - poor, primitive - complex, war - peace, trust - distrust, obey - disobey, important - unimportant,
live - die, alive - dead.
V. Put the proper form of "to be":
1. Economic (to be) an academic discipline.
2. The economy of France (to be) developed now.
3. "The Wealth of Nations" (to be) published in 1776.
4. Microeconomics (to be) one of the branches of Economics.
5. Now the resources in this area (to be) poor.
6. Dr. Lee (to be) a good specialist in many branches of Economics.
VI. Translate from Ukrainian into English. State the functions of "to be":
1. Це відбувалось (було) в стародавні часи. 2. Ми повинні вивчати проблему зайнятості. 3. Вона збирається працювати у галузі економіки. 4. Вони — студенти Академії. 5. Торгівля — важлива сфера людської діяльності. 6. Це питання є спірним. 7. П'ять років тому я була у Франції.
VII. Read, translate and pay attention to the underlined words:
1. Under the contract the prices for goods and services were stipulated. 2. Factors of production are used to produce goods and services to meet our requirements in everyday life. 3. Supply refers to the quantity of products that manufactures or owners are willing to sell at different prices. 4. Demand refers to the quantity of products that people are willing to buy at different prices. 5. A free market economy is one in which decisions about what to produce and in what quantities are decided by the market, that is, by buyers and sellers negotiating prices for goods and services.
