TEXT 1. SIMPLY SOCIALIZING

In the United States, as elsewhere, there is a ritual way to meet and greet people. We follow certain rules or formulas. Along with the handshake, nod of the head, hug, or hand gesture, we engage in small talk. This light conversation or chitchat may not carry much meaning in itself, but, rather, is designed to "break the ice"- to ease into a conversation with someone you have just met.


Англійська мова

Although the order of questions may vary, the same questions are always asked, and the same remarks made: "How are you?" is answered by "Fine, thanks" or "How are you?" This is not an inquiry into your physical health; it is a standard greeting. A "Fine, thank you" is what is expected, even if your best friend was just diagnosed with a terminal illness.

You always engage in small talk when you first meet someone. If you do not take part in this polite type of repartee, you will be considered rude and unfriendly; therefore, it is essential to learn the formulas. Surprisingly to some, the goal of small talk is to get to know someone, yet you should never ask personal questions too soon; instead, you start with questions or comments that elicit an expected response. This tells you if the person you are talking to is willing to communicate with you and, if so, on what level. You can then decide if you wish to continue talking or not, and whether you can move the conver­sation in another directions.

Small talk can take place between people who know each other, or at first- time meetings. Obviously, when meeting someone for the first time, you are limited in what you may say and what you may not say. You do not want to be rude by asking personal questions or saying anything negative.

Americans, in particular, engage in so much small talk that they are often seen as superficial or boring. Foreigners may not have the opportunity to see them in a more seri­ous mode and assume they continue to talk about the weather and sports long after they have gone home. Of course, some people do; however, for the most part, small talk is a re­spective and unnatural type of communication, not typical of private discourse.

ш the business world, there is small talk until a relationship is established, after which one may talk specifically about business or personal concerns. After business hours, when socializing with colleagues or associates, you will need to know the acceptable to­pics of conversation: weather, sports, good news, travel, positive comments about your host country, movies, entertainment, food, or the challenger of learning a foreign lan­guage. If asked, you may discuss work, where you live, or where you are staying. After work hours, when people want to relax, discussions about work or anything too serious are usually not welcomed.

Subjects to avoid are: money, prices, personal health, bad news, religion, politics, and details about your family or children (unless specifically asked).

Finally, be careful about jokes! Humor varies from culture to culture, and you may offend without realizing it; there are few things more awkward than an unfunny joke, or one that is in bad taste. People have very specific ideas about good and bad taste; you may be walking on dangerous ground when you attempt a joke and you may never realize how our joke was received because people may laugh out of politeness - or perhaps sympathy.

Small talk may last from a few minutes to over an hour, depending upon circum­stances. At its best, it results in a nice impression being made, a common interest being explored, or a rapport created that could be the basis of a future meeting or more serious relationship.

We know that some companies, including yours, produce the sort of equipment we need. Your company provides advanced technology and efficient service, which small companies can't provide. That's why we're interested in your company.

- Yes, I see. You'll be pleased to here that the service life of our equipment has been increased, and also prices have been reduced.

- That's fine.

- At the moment we are looking for a Commercial Director for this project so in the future you'll have to deal with him. If we decide to buy your equipment, he'll visit your company and you'll discuss the contract with him in detail.

- Fine. I've got some advertising leaflets so you'll be able to study the main char­acteristics of our equipment yourself.

- Thank you, Mr. Cartwright. Our driver is at your disposal during your visit. His name is Oleg.

- Thank you very much, Mr. Pospelov.

- Well. That's all... our driver's waiting for you. He'll take you to your hotel.

UNIT 1.3. UKRAINE

(Лексичний мінімум основ міжкультурної свідомості з визначенням взаємостосунків, взаємовідносин, регіональних та соціальних відмінностей

ECONOMIC RELATIONS

On the map of the world you can find a new independent state with a thousand-year-old history - Ukraine. It borders on Belarus and Russia in the north and in the east. In the west Ukraine is bounded by Moldova, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia and Poland. Great areas are occupied by steppes and forest-steppe regions. The main part of Ukraine is lo­cated in the watershed of the Dnipro River, which divides Ukraine into two parts: Right-Bank and Left-Bank Ukraine.

The territory of our country has an astonishing variety of landscapes. We have high mountains, endless forests, beautiful rivers and lakes. The largest lake of Ukraine is Swit-yaz, its total area is 24.2 sq.km and the depth is 58.5 metres.

Within the borders of Ukraine we find the Carpathian Mountains with the highest peak Hoverla (2061) which is located in the Chornohora massif.

The Crimean Mountains stretch in three parallel ranges. The Main Range is the highest, rising to 1500 m above sea level. Its highest peak is Roman Kosh (1545 m.).

To have an idea of Ukraine's economic potential and define the scale of reforms which must be carried out let us get acquainted with some objective data. Ukraine is situ­ated in the geographical center of Europe. The country occupies a territory of 604 thou­sand square kilometers. Ukrainian's population is 48 million, more than 74 percent of whom are Ukrainians. For comparison the population of Germany is 79.7 million people, Great Britain - 57, Poland - 39, Finland - 5. Ten million ethnic Ukrainians live outside the country on the territories of the former Soviet Union, and close to 5 million live in other foreign countries. The diaspora is the strongest in Canada and the USA. There are 6 cities in Ukraine with a population of over 1 million.

Ukraine takes a leading place in iron ore extraction, production of steel, cast iron, tractors, mineral fertilizers, sugar, and grain; it also succeeded in coal mining, producing concrete, electric energy and various equipments.

In the south of the country Ukraine has access to the Black Sea and the Sea of Above which are connected with the ocean. Twenty-seven thousand kilometers of rail­roads intertwine throughout the territory of Ukraine.

Oil and gas pipelines of international significance go through the territory of Ukraine. Fees from transit oil and gas pipelines pay for most of the imported products. Ukraine's main importers of oil and gas are Russia and Turkmenistan. In spite of great re­serves of coal, the importance of rock-coal in the energy balance is decreasing, and this tendency will continue in the future because the layers are located very deep and their ex­traction becomes more and more costly. That is why Ukraine should pay more attention to regeneration sources of energy: solar, wind, hydrothermal, and even more attention to re­sources and energy saving technologies.

Steppes and plains compose the most part of the territory of Ukraine. The top soils are mainly black. They are the biggest treasure of the Ukrainian land. 25 percent of world's black rich soils are in Ukraine.

POLITICAL SYSTEM OF UKRAINE

Ukraine is a sovereign state. On June 16, 1990 the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine passed the Declaration of State Sovereignty of Ukraine. On August 24,1991, Ukraine's in­dependence and the formation of the independent state of Ukraine was proclaimed by the Ukrainian Parliament.

On December 1,1991, an all-Ukrainian referendum was held, involving 84.18 per­cent of citizens.

Winning 61.6 percent of the votes, L.Kravchuk, the former head of the Verkhovna Rada, was elected President of Ukraine.

In 1994 L.Kuchma won the Presidential elections and became the new President of Ukraine.

A new state, Ukraine, appeared on the world political map in 1991. It is a democ­ratic state, which is ruled by the law. It includes 24 administrative regions and the Autonomous Republic of the Crimea. Ukraine has its own Constitution, which was adopted in 1996. The Constitution of Ukraine consists of 15 chapters (161 articles). The day of its adoption (June, 28, 1996) is a state holiday - the Day of the Constitution of Ukraine.

The political system of Ukraine is really democratic. The powers of the Government are divided into legislative, executive and judicial. The President is the head of the state. He is elected for a term of five years. The highest body of the executive power is the Cabinet of Ministers. It is responsible to the President and is accountable to the Verkhovna Rada. It carries out domestic and foreign policy of the state.

The Verkhovna Rada (Parliament) is the only body of the legislative power in Ukraine. It includes 450 deputies who are elected for a term of five years. The Verkhovna Rada adopts the State Budget and controls the execution of it.

Judicial power in Ukraine is led by the Supreme Court.

There are very many political parties in Ukraine. The main parties are: the Social Democratic Party, the People's Rukh of Ukraine, the Batkivshchyna, the Communist Party, the Women of Ukraine.

The National Emblem of Ukraine is a Golden Tryzub (trident) on a blue shield. The National Flag of Ukraine is a rectangular cloth with two horizontal stripes of equal width, the upper colored blue and the lower golden yellow. The National Anthem has been per­formed since January 1992 (music by M.M. Verbytsky).

The National Holiday, Independence Day, is celebrated on August 24.

Now Ukraine establishes new relations with countries throughout the world. It sets direct contacts with them signing agreement and treaties.
