Поради

Існує декілька способів вираження поради. Найпростіший – це пряма порада з використанням модальних дієслів should, would, ought (to):

You’d better… You should … You ought to …

Однак вважається, що в багатьох ситуаціях пряма порада може здатися недостатньо ввічливою, тому в англійській мові частіше використовуються непрямі поради:

I believe it might be a good idea to …

Don’t you think it would be better …

If I were you I’d …

Exercise 1. Listen to the following conversation, identify the sentences with advice.

A: What seems to be the trouble?

B: My computer doesn’t work properly. I can’t run my program and colours on the screen look unusual.

A: Is any antivirus program installed on your computer?

B: Unfortunately I didn’t do it. I don’t have enough experience in computer technologies.

A: You don’t? If I were you I’d take some course for beginners. Nowadays if you are working with Internet you never know when you’ll have an emergency.

B: Well, anyway, what can I do right now?

A: Mm … Let me see … What did you do with your computer last time?

B: I played a new game …

A: Oh why don’t you try to restart the system? Sometimes it works.

B: Well, wait a minute … Oh, great! It works! Thanks a lot.

A: Don’t mention it.

Exercise 2. Discuss possibilities where would you advise your classmate to spend his/her vacations.

Exercise 1. Translate the text into Ukrainian (Russian).

Since the late 20th century the most developed world countries became keenly aware of their dependence on foreign oil and other fossil fuels. Exploitation of solar power is a feasible alternative to fossil-based energy sources. Electricity can be generated by a variety of technologies that ultimately depend on the effects of solar radiation. Windmills and waterfalls (themselves very old sources of mechanical energy) can be used to turn turbines to generate electricity. The energies of wind and falling water are considered forms of solar energy, because the Sun’s heating power creates wind and replenishes the water in rivers and streams. Most existing windmill installations are relatively small, containing ten or more windmills in a grid configuration that takes advantage of wind shifts. In contrast, most electricity from hydroelectric installations comes from giant dams. Large-scale hydroelectric projects are still being pursued in many developing countries. The simplest form of solar-powered electricity generation is the use of an array of collectors that heat water to produce steam to turn a turbine. Several of these facilities are in existence.

Other sources of Sun-derived electricity involve high-technology options that remain unproven commercially on a large scale. Photovoltaic cells, which convert sunlight directly into electricity, are currently being used for remote locations to power orbiting space satellites, local power plants, and irrigation pumps. Progress is needed to lower costs before widespread use of photovoltaic cells is possible. The commercial development of still other methods seems far in the future. Ocean thermal conversion (OTC) generates electricity on offshore platforms; a turbine is turned by the power generated when cold seawater moves from great depths up to a warm surface. Also still highly speculative is the notion of using space satellites to beam electricity via microwaves down to Earth.

Exercise 2. Make notes about different possibilities to overcome world energy crisis. Be ready to discuss modern researches in a field of renewable energy sources taking into account issues of environmental pollution and global warming. Prepare short oral reports (around 5 minutes) for these topics.
