Тема “Work, restandmeetingpeople”.ЗаданиеTask 1. Read the letter to a friend:

Chrummwisstrasse 47 8702 Kuesnacht Zurich 17th September Dear Mark, Thanks so much for your card. I really loved the party last week and I was quite sad at the end. I’m going 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’re enjoying 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?

Imagine you have moved to another country. Decide what country / city you live in now. Do you live in a flat or in a house now? Why have you moved?Write an informal letter (230-250 words) to a good friend about your new life:

• 
  Use your ideas
  
• 
  Use the organisation of an informal letter in the given example
  
• 
  Use the clichés:
  

a) Thanks so much for ... (or Thank you for your letter!);b) How are things ... (or How is everything?);c) Victoria sends her love ... (or She says hi to you and Victoria.);d) Anyway, that’s about it for the moment. (or Anyway, that’s all the news for you.);e) Look after yourself and keep in touch. (or Take care and write back soon.);f) All the best. (or Best wishes).Рекомендации по выполнению задания

Chrummwisstrasse 478702 KuesnachtZurich19^h September
Dear Rich,
Thank you so much for your letter.
I moved to America .I want to improve my English.How are things without me?
I started work in my new home on Monday. The road to work is much shorter. I'm taking a train near my house and I'll be at work in fifteen minutes. This is amazing!
The house is nice - see the photos. But we're really busy at the moment. A lot of things are still in the boxes, including the computer, so I can't send email at the moment.
Television is a little more complicated! The other day I watched American movies. And learned new slang.
Victoria sends her regards to you – at the moment she is preparing something Swiss. Remember: the flight lasts only 40 minutes! You, Tamsin and the children are always welcome.
Anyway, that's all for now. Take care of yourself and keep in touch.I don 't mind meeting for dinner .
All the best,

Mark

Nowadays job is an essential part of our life. People should earn money to provide for their families. Sometimes it can be difficult to find a good job. First of all you must be very persistent. Never stop trying even if you are disappointed by failures. Then you must be really a good expert and have some skills to offer. The third important point is to write a good resume. It should grab the attention of the employers and make them invite you to the interview. Also one must be enough confident while he is being interviewed. I think everyone can get a good job if he's eager enough. I really want to have more money, but for this you need to find a job. Students are not taken to work very willingly, because they are afraid that absences will begin during the session. You can, of course, work remotely if you are a programmer, you can work as a courier, you can work as a postman, you can also be a janitor, even a stoker at night or movers. But it's all for guys. And girls can work as a nanny or tutor

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!

Проверяемое задание №6

• 
  What measures can be taken to solve this problem?
  
•

The problem of unemployment exists all over the world. If a person does not have a job and other sources of income, he will not be able not only to realize himself in some profession, but will also be forced to deny himself a lot.States help people who have lost their jobs. In Russia, as in many other countries, there are so-called labor exchanges where people who have lost their jobs are registered. Such temporary unemployed are entitled to benefits. However, if an unemployed person refuses the job offered to him several times, he will lose the right to receive benefits.There are other government programs that help different categories of the unemployed, for example, people with disabilities, people raising minor children, people of pre-retirement age who have lost their jobs, etc.In addition, there are now Internet sites that allow people to find jobs, and companies to find employees who meet the necessary requirements. Such services not only give unemployed people a chance to find a job, but also provide an opportunity for working people to move to a higher-paying position.It seems to me that the problem of unemployment can be solved only by combining the efforts of the state, business and the people themselves looking for work. The State should guarantee the opportunity for citizens to obtain qualifications and decent working conditions. A business must have acceptable conditions to legally carry out commercial activities and hire competent specialists, respecting the rights of its employees, fulfilling its part of social obligations to them. A person should have the opportunity to get an education, a profession, the right to fair wages that guarantee a decent standard of living, and to choose a place of work. In turn, the employee must work in good faith, thus benefiting the employer, and strengthen the country's economy by paying taxes honestly.
