The Government is committed to the control of gases emission, damage which the ozone layer. They also contribute to the greenhouse effect, which leads to global warming and a rise in sea levels. Britain stresses the need for studying the science of climate change.

. Today English is the language of the world. It is only in the course of the last hundred years that English has become a world language. In Shakespeare's time it was a «provincial» language of secondary importance with only 6 million native speakers. . Nowadays over 300 million people speak it as a mother tongue. English is the official language of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, of the United States of America, of Australia and New Zealand. . It is used as one of the official languages in Canada, the Republic of South Africa and the Irish Republic. English is also spoken as a second language in the former British and US colonies. In a number of speakers (400 million) it is second only to Chinese. English is the major international language of communication in such areas as science, technology and business. It is the language of literature, education, modem music, and international tourism. English is the major language of diplomacy, it is one of the official languages of the United Nation organization and other political organizations. Russia is integrating into the world community and the problem of learning English for the purpose of communication is especially urgent today. . One should say that English is not an easy language to learn. There is a big problem of spelling, of the large number of exceptions to any rule. This language is very idiomatic and the prepositions are terrible. . English is one of those languages which may seem easy in the beginning, but then the bridge between basic knowledge and mastery takes a long time to cross. . But if you cross this bridge it will give you great satisfaction. You will be able to speak to people from other countries, to read foreign authors in the original, which makes your outlook wider. To know English today is absolutely necessary for every educated man, for every good specialist.

1. Finally, if a non-police negotiator IS BEING USED and you decide to go tactical, that person may be reluctant (or may refuse) to participate in a tactical response and may alert the subject by changing or disrupting the negotiations.

Наконец, если ИСПОЛЬЗУЕТСЯ не полицейский переговорщик, и вы решите перейти на тактический подход, этот человек может неохотно (или может отказаться) участвовать в тактическом ответе и может предупредить субъекта, изменив или прервав переговоры.

They ARE ACCUSTOMED to people coming to them and asking for help, not resisting it.

 Since these people HAVE generally NOT BEEN TRAINED in negotiation, they will probably, under the stress of the situation, revert to their usual way of talking with the subject.

Они ОБЪЕДИНЯЮТСЯ к людям, которые приходят к ним и просят о , а не сопротивляются этому.

Поскольку эти люди, как правило, НЕ ОБУЧАЮТ вести переговоры, они, вероятно, в стрессовой ситуации вернутся к своему обычному общения с предметом

All negotiators HAVE HEARD stories about family members who come to the scene and say, “Let me talk to him, he’ll listen to me”

And, generally, they don’t have the mental “set” to expect demands and to deal with lying or threats if those demands AREN'T MENT. 

Все переговорщики СЛЫШАЛИ истории о членах семьи, которые приходят на место происшествия и говорят: «Позвольте мне поговорить с ним, он меня выслушает».

И, как правило, у них нет ментального «настроя» ожидать требований и справляться с ложью или угрозами, если эти требования НЕ МЕНЯТЬ.

I’d like TO WARN you about non-police negotiators.

Хочу ПРЕДУПРЕДИТЬ вас о переговорщиках, не являющихся полицейскими.

Even mental health professionals with experience in crisis intervention may have little TO OFFER if they have not had negotiation training

Даже специалистам в области психического здоровья, имеющим опыт работы в кризисных ситуациях, может быть нечего предложить, если они не обучение переговорам

And, generally, they don’t have the mental “set” TO EXPECT demands and TO DEAL with lying or threats if those demands aren’t ment.

Finally, if a non-police negotiator is being used and you decide TO GO tactical, that person may be reluctant (or may refuse) TO PARTICIPATE in a tactical response and may alert the subject by changing or disrupting the negotiations. 

И, как правило, у них нет ментального «набора», ЧТОБЫ ОЖИДАТЬ требования и БЕЗОПАСНЫ с ложью или угрозами, если этих требований нет.

Наконец, если используется посредник, не являющийся полицейским, и вы решите ПРОВЕРИТЬ тактический ответ, этот человек может неохотно (или может отказаться) УЧАСТВОВАТЬ в тактическом ответе и может предупредить субъекта, изменив или прервав переговоры.
