who invented the dynamo? 7. can you imagine our life without electricity? why? текст: it is impossible to imagine our civilization without electricity: economic
and social progress will be turned to the past and our daily lives completely
transformed.
electrical power has become universal. thousands of applications of
electricity such as lighting, electrochemistry and electrometallurgy are
longstanding and unquestionable.
with the appearance of the electrical motor, power cables replaced trans-
mission shafts, gear wheels, belts and pulleys in the 19-th century workshops.
and in the home a whole range of various time and labour saving appliances
have become a part of our everyday lives.
other devices are based on specific properties of electricity: electrostatics
in the case of photocopying machine and electromagnetism in the case of radar
and television. these applications have made electricity most widely used.
the first industrial application was in the silver workshops in paris. the
generator - a new compact source of electricity - was also developed there. the
generator replaced the batteries and other devices that had been used before.
electric lighting came into wide use at the end of the last century with the
development of the electric lamp by thomas edison. then the transformer was
invented, the first electric lines and networks were set up, dynamos and
induction motors were designed.
since the beginning of the 20-th century the successful development of
electricity has begun throughout the industrial world. the consumption of
electricity has doubled every ten years.
today consumption of electricity per capita is an indicator of the state of
development and economic health of a nation. electricity has replaced other
sources of energy as it has been realized that it offers improved service and
reduced cost.
one of the greatest advantages of electricity is that it is clean, easily-
regulated and generates no by-products applications of electricity now cover
all fields of human activity from house washing machines to the latest laser
devices. electricity is the efficient source of some of the most recent technolo-gical advances such as the laser and electron beams. truly electricity provides
mankind with the energy of the future.​

HEALTH.
Health is very important for human. If you haven't got a strong immunity, you'll catch a cold. If you want to be healthy, you just need follow certain rules, such as: wash your hands, take a bath twice a day, change your clothes. And you must not forget about your food.

На английском языкеПеревод на русский языкA Healthy LifestyleЗдоровый образ жизниI consider that man’s health depends on his mode of life. To prevent the diseases it’s necessary to keep some simple regulations: to go in for sports, to eat carefully, to take a rest and to walk frequently in the open air. I’m fifteen years old and the last three years I do my morning exercises. It inspirits and gives strength to me for a whole day. I add dousing with cold water in winter. I think that conditioning to the cold is the main method for preserving my health. My favourite winter sports are cross-country skiing and skating. I prefer to run in the park and play tennis in summer. I go to the swimming pool twice a week the whole year round. Swimming increases the respiratory system. I also try to observe a day regimen. Every day I go to bed and get up at approximately the same time. I give special attention to meals. I don’t eat fatty and high-calorie foods and I don’t drink heavily gas-cut beverages. At my time of life some peers smoke and drink alcohol but I think that it’s dangerous for a human organism and sooner or later it will be injurious to our health. I think that everybody must begin to take care of his health in his youth because it’s easier to take care of our health than to recover it.Я считаю, что здоровье человека зависит от его образа жизни. Для того чтобы не болеть, нужно соблюдать несколько простых правил: заниматься спортом, правильно питаться, полноценно отдыхать и чаще бывать на свежем воздухе. Мне 15 лет, и из них 3 последних года я делаю по утрам зарядку. Это придаёт мне бодрости и сил на весь день. Зимой я добавляю обливание холодной водой. Считаю закаливание самым главным сохранения здоровья. Мои любимые зимние виды спорта это бег на лыжах и катание на коньках. Летом я предпочитаю бегать в парке и играть в большой теннис. Круглый год я посещаю бассейн два раза в неделю. Плаванье укрепляет дыхательную систему. Также я стараюсь соблюдать режим. Я ложусь и встаю в одно и то же время каждый день. Особое внимание я уделяю питанию. Я не ем жирную и высококалорийную пищу, и не пью сильно газированных напитков. В моём возрасте некоторые сверстники уже курят и употребляют алкогольные напитки, но я считаю, что это разрушительно для организма и если не сейчас, то в будущем обязательно скажется на здоровье. Мне кажется, что каждый человек должен начинать заботиться о своём здоровье в молодости, так как уберечь здоровье проще, чем вернуть его.
