English language for students of economic specialties

Foreword

The textbook consists of 18 lessons, each of which contains three homework and three classroom work, designed for two hours of study. The exercises are designed in such a way that in the classroom students consolidate the basic knowledge of grammar and vocabulary of the corresponding lesson, and at home they work through the same material again on their own. Most homework assignments contain additional educational material on the topic of the lesson in the form of mini-texts with exercises. Exercises can be performed in a row or selectively, at the discretion of the teacher.

The focus of the textbook is on the study of English grammar as the basis for understanding, reproducing and creating statements in a foreign language. The textbook contains almost all sections of grammar necessary for understanding and speaking English. The grammatical material studied at school is given in the generalizing paragraphs in the Grammar Reference (spectacular forms of verbs, simple forms of participles, etc.). In addition, the lessons have many exercises for its repetition and consolidation. Grammar material that is not sufficiently considered or not studied at all in high school, is set out in the Grammar Reference in more detail and is provided with practice exercises with keys, which allows English learners to independently familiarize themselves with the material and check their understanding.

Using this textbook, the teacher, depending on the level of preparation of students, can introduce grammatical material as a new one or consolidate and develop knowledge, skills and abilities acquired earlier.

All grammatical material is carefully practiced in exercises of gradually increasing complexity.

To work on the language material, original texts from modern English and American economic literature are used, adapted and abridged in accordance with the objectives of this publication.

In addition, at the stages of consolidating and repeating the material, a large number of authentic texts are used, which makes it possible to gradually prepare students for understanding economic texts in the original.

The topics of the texts cover such sections of the economy as the theory of supply and demand, factors or means of production, various types of trade, financial markets, basic banking, taxation, accounting and auditing. In addition, general problems of macroeconomics are touched upon, as well as such sectors of the economy as the fuel and energy complex, urban economy, agriculture, trade in various goods, etc. Since the subject of the texts is not of a highly specialized nature, the textbook can be used by students of different universities and faculties associated with the study of Economics.

The lexical material contains both economic terminology and commonly used words and phrases that students can use in conversations on various non-specialized topics. Much attention is paid to teaching active vocabulary, including knowledge of word compatibility, as well as the correct use of prepositions.

There are three repetitive sections in the textbook, consisting of texts with tasks. The texts of these sections are not adapted, only sometimes slightly reduced.

Attached at the end of the textbook English-Russian dictionary, which includes active vocabulary indicating the number of lessons (Units) in which they are introduced.

The materials of the textbook were tested for several years at the Faculty of Economics of the Moscow Agricultural Academy and in a number of other universities in the country in the form of a manual "English for Students of Economics". However, this textbook is an independent publication, significantly revised taking into account the suggestions made and the experience of the authors themselves. Lessons 1–12 and the section “Grammar and word formation” were developed by E. V. Glushenkova, lessons 13–18 by E. N. Komarova. General edition of the textbook - E. V. Glushenkova.

Market and Command Economies

Economics is a science that analyzes what, how, and for whom society produces. The central economic is to reconcile the conflict between people "s unlimited demands with society"s ability to produce goods and services.

In industrial Western countries markets are to allocate resources. The market is the process by which production and consumption are coordinated through prices.

In a command economy, a central planning office makes decisions on what, how, and for whom to produce. Economy cannot rely entirely on command, but there was extensive planning in many Soviet bloc countries.

A free market economy has no government intervention. Resources are allocated entirely through markets.

Modern economies in the West are mixed and rely mainly on the market but with a large dose of government intervention. The optimal level of government intervention remains a problem which is of interest to economists.

The degree of government restrictions differs greatly between countries that have command economies and countries that have free market economies. In the former, resources are allocated by central government planning. In the latter, there is not any government regulation of the consumption, production, and exchange of goods. Between the two main types lies the mixed economy where market and government are both of importance.

Demand and Supply

Demand is the quantity of a good that buyers wish to buy at each price . Other things equal , at low prices the demanded quantity is higher.

Supply is the quantity of a good that sellers wish to sell at each price. Other things equal, when prices are high, the supplied quantity is high as well.

The market is in equilibrium when the price regulates the quantity supplied by producers and the quantity demanded by consumers. When prices are not so high as the equilibrium price, there is excess demand (shortage) raising the price. At prices above the equilibrium price, there is excess supply (surplus) reducing the price.

There are some factors influencing demand for a good, such as the prices of other goods, consumer incomes and some others.

An increase in the price of a substitute good (or a decrease in the price of a complement good) will at the same time raise the demanded quantity.

As consumer income is increased, demand for a normal good will also increase but demand for an inferior good will decrease. A normal good is a good for which demand increases when incomes rise. An inferior good is a good for which demand falls when incomes rise.

As to supply, some factors are assumed as constant. Among them are technology, the input price, as well as a degree of government regulation. An improvement in technology is as important for increasing the supplied quantity of a good as a reduction in input prices.

Government regulates demand and supply imposing ceiling prices (maximum prices) and floor prices (minimum prices) and adding its own demand to the demand of the private sector.

Remember!

some- some, several, some

same- the same, the same

as- because; as; as; How

well- also also

as well as- as well as

Remember!

such as - such (th, - oh, - ie) like ...

as ... as - the same (same) ... as

as ... as possible - how can ...

not so ... as - not the same ... as

as to - as for ...

the same as - the same as ...

The Pope and the Price of Fish

It is interesting for a student of economics to learn how demand and supply analysis works in practice.

Until 1966 Roman Catholics were not allowed to eat meat on Fridays and ate fish instead. In 1966 the Pope said that Catholics could eat meat on Friday. What do you think happened to the average weekly price and average weekly quantity of consumed fish?

The demand for fish fell as some Catholics who had to eat fish before started eating meat on Friday when they were allowed to do so.

This is a simple example of the effect of a change in tastes on the demand. Economists said that lower demand would lead to lower equilibrium price and the quantity of demanded fish.

after 19 can see on study on considerations on fish and quantities of that after 19 that may be this state of mind.

Theory of Demand

Demand is demand is the demand is the supplies of the supplies of those

That is, consumer demand is the relationship between the quantity demanded for the good and its price. The factors assumed constant are prices of other goods, income, and a number of noneconomic factors, such as social, physiological, demographic characteristics of the consumer in question.

The theory of demand is based on the assumption that the consumer having a budget constraint seeks to reach the maximum possible level of utility, that is, to maximize utility, but he usually prefers to obtain more rather than less. The consumer has to solve the problem of choice. Provided he is to maintain a given level of utility, increases in the quantity of one good must be followed by reductions in the quantity of the other good. The consumer has to choose the specific goods within the limits imposed by his budget.

The concept of marginal utility is of great importance for solving the utility maximization problem. The marginal utility of a good is the additional utility obtained from consuming an additional unit of the good in question. The marginal utility from consuming a good decreases as more of that good is consumed. The income should be allocated among all possible choices so that the marginal utility per dollar of expenditure on each good is equal to the marginal utility per dollar of expenditure on every other good.

A price increase will result in a reduction in the quantity demanded. This relationship between the quantity demanded of a good and its price is called the law of demand. As the marginal utility from each additional unit of the good consumed decreases, the consumer will want to buy more of this good only if its price is reduced.

Market demand is in all that quantities as large as possible and as much as possible. Market demand depends not only on the factors affecting individual demands, but also on the number of consumers in the market. The law of demand also works with market demand.

This textbook is intended for students and graduate students of economic specialties of universities. The purpose of the textbook is to teach students to read, translate texts and conduct a conversation in their specialty.
The textbook consists of 18 lessons, each of which contains three homework and three classroom work, designed for two hours of study. The exercises are designed in such a way that in the classroom students consolidate the basic knowledge of grammar and vocabulary of the corresponding lesson, and at home they work through the same material again on their own. Most homework assignments contain additional educational material on the topic of the lesson in the form of mini-texts with exercises. Exercises can be performed in a row or selectively, at the discretion of the teacher.
The focus of the textbook is on the study of English grammar as the basis for understanding, reproducing and creating statements in a foreign language. The textbook contains almost all sections of grammar necessary for understanding and speaking English. The grammatical material studied at school is given in generalizing paragraphs in the Grammar Reference (spectacular forms of verbs, simple forms of participles, etc.). In addition, the lessons have many exercises for its repetition and consolidation. Grammar material that is under-reviewed or not studied at all in secondary school is set out in more detail in the Grammar Reference and provided with practice exercises with keys, which allows English learners to independently familiarize themselves with the material and check its understanding.

Title: English for students of economic faculties.

The purpose of this textbook is to teach students of economic faculties to read and analyze literature in their specialty, to give them basic economic vocabulary for subsequent use in the practice of business communication.

The economy comprises millions of people and thousands of firms as well as the government and local authorities, all taking decisions about prices and wages, what to buy, sell, produce, export, import and many other matters. All these organizations and the decisions they take play a prominent part in shap-ing the business environment in which firms exist and operate.
The economy is complicated and difficult to control and predict, but it is certainly important to all businesses. You should be aware that there are times when businesses and individuals have plenty of funds to spend and there are times when they have to cut back on their spending. This can have enormous implications for business as a whole.
When the economy is enjoying a boom, firms experience high sales and general prosperity. At such times, unemployment is low and many firms will be investing funds to enable them to produce more. They do this because con-sumers have plenty of money to spend and firms expect high sales. It naturally follows that the state of the economy is a major factor in the success of firms.

Foreword

The focus of the textbook is on the study of English grammar as the basis for understanding, reproducing and creating statements in a foreign language. The textbook contains almost all sections of grammar necessary for understanding and speaking English. The grammatical material studied at school is given in the generalizing paragraphs in the Grammar Reference (spectacular forms of verbs, simple forms of participles, etc.). In addition, the lessons have many exercises for its repetition and consolidation. Grammar material that is under-reviewed or not studied at all in secondary school is set out in more detail in the Grammar Reference and provided with practice exercises with keys, which allows English learners to independently familiarize themselves with the material and check its understanding.

All grammatical material is carefully practiced in exercises of gradually increasing complexity.

To work on the language material, original texts from modern English and American economic literature are used, adapted and abridged in accordance with the objectives of this publication.

There are three repetitive sections in the textbook, consisting of texts with tasks. The texts of these sections are not adapted, only sometimes slightly reduced.

An English-Russian dictionary is attached at the end of the textbook, which includes active vocabulary indicating the number of lessons (Units) in which they are introduced.
