СКАЧАТЬ by letter. They are your tools of understanding and self-expression. Collect them. Keep them in condition. Learn how to handle them. Develop a fastidious, but not a fussy, choice. Work always toward good taste in their use. Train your ear for their harmonies.

      We urge you not to take words for granted just because they have been part of your daily speech since childhood. You must examine them.

      Words are not dead things. They are fairly wriggling with life. They are exciting and mysterious tokens of our thoughts, and like human beings, they are born, come to maturity, grow old and die, and sometimes they are even reborn in a new age. A word, from its birth to its death, is a process, not a static thing.

      Words, like living trees, have roots, branches, and leaves. If the roots are the origin of words and the branches are the word families that stem out of them, the leaves of this language tree would be the words themselves and their meaning.

      Like everyone else, you want certain things from life. No matter what those benefits are, or what particular way you have chosen to go about getting them, you know that your first and most effective means will be the words you use.

      In short, the satisfaction and the success you get out of life depend very greatly on the skill with which you communicate your needs, your desires, your opinions to others.

      Words are explosive. Phrases are packed with TNT. A single word can destroy a friendship, can start or end a mortal battle, can land a large order. The right words in the mouth of clerks have quadrupled the sales of a department store. The wrong words used by a campaign orator have lost an election. Words have changed the direction of history. Words can also change the direction of your life.

      Один из способов тренировать ин. язык – обучать иностранцев русскому языку, русской литературе, философии и истории России (для чего стоит повышать их знание).

      Замечено, что многие люди не знают элементарных правил русского языка, например:

      1. Количество кавычек всегда должно быть четным, как скобки в математике.

      Рядом стоящие кавычки могут быть двух видов – «…» и «…» (лапки и елочки).

      Правильно: «слова „слова“» или «слова „слова“»

      Неправильно: «слова»» и "слова «слова»

      Эти ошибки есть даже в названиях крупных фирм и некоторых статьях и книжках.

      2. Если в конце предложения есть информация в скобках, точка ставится после скобок, не ставится перед скобками и внутри перед закрывающей скобкой.

      Правильно: слова (слова).

      Неправильно: слова. (слова.)

      LEARNING HAPPENS TO BE A DIFFICULT PROCESS: NO PAIN, NO GAIN.

      UNIT 1

      ECONOMY

      Менеджер – наемный управленец, начальник!

      а максимум специалист!
