Dear Mark,

Thanks so much for your card.

I really loved the party last week and I was quite sad at the end. I’mgoing to miss all the wonderful friends I made at the company. How are things without me?

I started work at my new place on Monday. The commute is a lot shorter. I catch a train near my house and I'm at work in fifteen minutes. It’s amazing! I have time to play with Maggie before she goes to bed!

The house is nice - see the pictures. But we’re really busy at the moment. A lot of things are still in boxes - including the computer - so I can’t email at the moment.

We’reenjoying learning a new language. The first time Maggie heard some children talking she cried. Then she said'Daddy! What's wrong with them?' In fact, many of the Swiss speak English (and French and Italian!) so communicating in shops isn't difficult. Television is a bit harder! I watched the German "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?' the other night. I think I got two questions correct, but I don't know!

Victoria sends her love – she’s cooking something Swiss at the moment. Remember: the flight is only 40 minutes! You, Таmsin and the children are always welcome.

Anyway, that’s about it for the moment. Look after yourself and keep in touch.

All the best,

Rich

PS I'm in London for a meeting at the end of October. Do you want to meet for dinner?

Дорогой Марк,

Большое спасибо за вашу открытку.

Мне действительно понравилась вечеринка на прошлой неделе, и в конце мне было довольно грустно. Я буду скучать по всем замечательным друзьям, которых завел в компании. Как там дела без меня?

Я приступил к работе на своем новом месте в понедельник. Дорога на работу намного короче. Я сажусь на поезд недалеко от своего дома и через пятнадцать минут уже на работе. Это потрясающе! У меня есть время поиграть с Мэгги, прежде чем она ляжет спать!

Дом хороший - смотрите фотографии. Но в данный момент мы действительно заняты. Многие вещи все еще находятся в коробках, включая компьютер, поэтому в данный момент я не могу отправить электронное письмо.

Мы с удовольствием изучаем новый язык. Когда Мэгги впервые услышала, как разговаривают дети, она заплакала. Потом она сказала: "Папа! Что с ними не так?" На самом деле многие швейцарцы говорят по-английски (а также по-французски и по-итальянски!), так что общаться в магазинах несложно. С телевидением немного сложнее! На днях вечером я смотрел немецкий фильм "Кто хочет стать миллионером?". Я думаю, что правильно ответил на два вопроса, но я не знаю!

Виктория шлет тебе привет – в данный момент она готовит что-то швейцарское. Помните: полет длится всего 40 минут! Тебе, Тэмсин и детям всегда рады.

Во всяком случае, на данный момент это все. Следите за собой и поддерживайте связь.

Всего наилучшего,

Рич

P.S. Я буду в Лондоне на встрече в конце октября. Ты хочешь встретиться за ужином?

Hi Rich!

Thank you for the reply letter. We're doing fine. Everyone in our office misses you and hopes that you will come back here someday! The new employee doing your job has not quite settled in yet, but we hope that he will be as useful to our company as you are.

How is the weather there? Have you already climbed the mountains? You have to go there! According to the photos, the house is wonderful! I hope your daughter will quickly settle into a new place! She should not be upset because she does not know the language, she will learn it soon!

Have a nice day, Rich! I hope to see you soon in London! Goodbye! Hello everyone!

Finding the job is the most important part, and we will all come to face this fact eventually. A few things to help you find a job is this: Go through the local newspapers, go through all of the adds, circle the ones that interest you and then fax in your resume, or give them a call as soon as possible. Do not delay this, for if you do, you may miss out on the chance of a lifetime. A few places to find a job are on the Internet, also known as the world wide web. Go on the world wide web and type in jobs in any major search engine, or the specific job that you are looking for, and you will come up with many results. Some jobs are also not right in front of your face either. You will have to do some searching. Also, keep in mind that if you know of a friend who works in a field that you are interested in, talk to him. He can usually help you out in your search, and possibly get you a job, or a career that you will love and enjoy. Check out mystery shopping, or other fields like that if you are having trouble finding work, seek unemployment for the times that you can.

Task 1.Read the email:

Dear Poppy,

How are you? Sorry I didn't reply to any of your emails, but I only checked today. Last week was a busy and very exciting week.

Ollie and I went out for dinner on Friday. We were celebrating our anniversary –we started going out four years ago. Four years! I can't believe it. He wanted to surprise me and he did - we went to Fifteen - Jamie Oliver's new restaurant! The food was amazing. It's also cheaper than I thought. However, that's not the reason I'm writing ...

After the meal, we were having coffee and Ollie asked for the bill. When it came, he gave it to me. I laughed, but then I saw a lot of waiters looking at me. What's more, they were all smiling.

I didn't know what was happening. When I looked at the bill,I knew. It just said Will you marry me. Katy?' in Ollie's handwriting Then Ollie gave me a small box. It was a ring! I put it on and very nervously said yes. The waiters started clapping and I went very red!

Someone in the restaurant gave us a bottle of champagne. We didn't drink it, though. We can have it when you next come to London. And we can also go shopping! I need a wedding dress and someone to help me choose it!

Love,

Katy

Напишите ответ на письмо (80–120 слов), используя выражения, приведенные выше.

Дорогая Поппи,
Как твои дела? Извините, я не ответил ни на одно из ваших писем, но я проверил только сегодня. Прошлая неделя была насыщенной и очень волнующей.

В пятницу мы с Олли ходили куда-нибудь поужинать. Мы праздновали нашу годовщину – мы начали встречаться четыре года назад. Четыре года! Я не могу в это поверить. Он хотел удивить меня, и ему это удалось - мы пошли в "Пятнадцать" - новый ресторан Джейми Оливера! Еда была восхитительной. К тому же это дешевле, чем я думала. Однако я пишу не по этой причине...

После еды мы пили кофе, и Олли попросил счет. Когда его принесли, он отдал его мне. Я рассмеялся, но потом увидел, что многие официанты смотрят на меня. Более того, все они улыбались.

Я не понимала, что происходит. Когда я взглянула на счет, я все поняла. Там просто говорилось, выйдешь ли ты за меня замуж. Кэти?", написанное почерком Олли, после чего Олли вручил мне маленькую коробочку. Это было кольцо! Я надела его и очень нервно сказала "да". Официанты начали хлопать, а я сильно покраснела!

Кто-то в ресторане подарил нам бутылку шампанского. Но мы его не пили. Мы можем выпить его, когда ты в следующий раз приедешь в Лондон. А еще мы можем пройтись по магазинам! Мне нужно свадебное платье и кто-нибудь, кто помог бы мне его выбрать!

С любовью,

Кэти
Hi Katie!!! You have no idea how happy I am for you!!!! It's so touching!!! Ollie is so good! Yes, of course you were not up to the answer! Now you will have a lot of things to do, preparing for the wedding. We need to find a restaurant, discuss the menu. Find a photographer and videographer, a presenter and send out invitations. Will you have many guests? And you also need a cake, jewelry, rings and yes, of course a dress!

I will definitely come to the rescue as soon as you decide on the date of your wedding!

I'm looking forward to it! I'm in touch! Kisses, Chris!

Unemployment is the lack of job and opportunity to find it. That is, the unemployed is an active capable person who strives to get a job, physically has the opportunity to work, but does not have any.

There are three types of the unemployment: frictional, structural and cyclical. Frictional unemployment is a temporary state of a specialist who is looking for a job. This process certainly requires a lot of time and efforts, its main reason is the lack of information about available job openings. There are also such types of unemployment as part-time, seasonal, technological, marginal and others.

Currently, there is a trend of unemployment rising in Western Europe, especially among young people. Job loss at a young age inflicts considerable psychological "wounds" and reduces the chances of the young specialist to find a well-deserved job in the future. In Europe there is also a growing number of the long-term unemployed, i.e. people who are out of work for more than a year. The population of European countries is gradually aging, and the number of people on welfare is growing. Youth unemployment adversely affects the stability of social security systems. In the United States the unemployment rate has been steadily declining thanks to the creation of thousands of part-time and full-time jobs. According to the Government, the number of jobs is growing in the branches of food industry, healthcare, retail, business services and building. At the same time the number of capable people in the labor market reduces, which is associated with getting additional education, retraining, transition to disability. A distinctive feature of American society
