VI. Match the following parts of the letter of complaint:
| 1) Dear Sir/Madam I attended your exhibition Sound Systems 2015 at the Fortune Hotel from 17 - 18 September and | a) the venue was better suited to a medium-sized business conference than to a large exhibition open by registration to the public. The lack of space led to serious overcrowding in the venue, particularly at peak visiting times (i.e. lunch times and early evening). On one or two occasions I was also seriously concerned about the physical safety of attendees. |
| 2) Firstly, I had difficulty in registering to attend the event. You set up an on-line registration facility, but | b) it is also important to be able to take away leaflets on interesting products, so that more research can be done before deciding which system to buy. However, by the time I attended the exhibition all the leaflets had been taken. |
| 3) Secondly, the exhibition was held at one of Hong Kong's most prestigious hotels, but frankly | c) found it informative and interesting. Unfortunately, my enjoyment of the event was spoiled by a number of organizational problems. I explain each of the problems below. |
| 4) The final point I want to make concerns product information. It is very enjoyable to see and test a range of excellent sound systems, but | d) not only on my behalf but also on behalf of other attendees, and in fact on behalf of your company, too. |
| 5) Could I please ask you to look into these matters - | e) hearing from you. Yours faithfully Michael Leung |
| 6) I look forward to | f) I found the facility totally unworkable. Even after spending several wasted hours trying to register in this way, the computer would not accept my application. I eventually succeeded in registering by faxing you. |

VIII. Edit the Russian translation of the English text
What are terrorists? Terrorists are fanatics who are prepared to kill innocent people with explosives, firearms or other weapons. Since 2000 there has been a great increase in the number of deaths from terrorism. The jumps in terrorist activities usually coincide with the start of civil wars and the clashes of interests between the state and an ambitious group of fanatics. Terrorism increases the risk of destabilization in many regions. Variations of political and religious ideologies based on extreme interpretations of their teaching form the foundations of terrorist activities. What unites them all is the fight for influence, domination and power. The danger is that a religious ideology of terrorism is quickly becoming a global phenomenon. However, at a deeper look terrorism is more likely to be driven by political, nationalistic and separatist movements.
While drivers of terrorist activity are often complex and multidimensional, there are several generalized and significant socio-economic correlates of terrorism. Countries with higher levels of terrorism were found to have three statistically significant factors: greater social hostilities between different ethnic, religious and linguistic groups, the practice of gross human rights violations in the country, high levels of corruption and organized crime.
Importantly, poverty of the state as a whole or lack of resources has little explanatory power on the onset of terrorism. This means that weak political systems and inefficient state control, poor rule of law, a great rift between the extremely rich and the unbearably poor groups of population, state-sponsored violence and general inequality can cause the rise of terrorist organizations a lot more than economic performance of banks and companies.

Какие террористы? Террористы фанатики, которые готовы убивать невинных людей взрывчатых веществ, огнестрельного оружия или других видов оружия. С 2000 года был большой рост числа смертей от терроризма. Скачки террористической деятельности, как правило, совпадает с началом гражданских войн и столкновений интересов между государством и амбициозной группы фанатиков. Терроризм повышает риск дестабилизации во многих регионах. Вариации политических и религиозных идеологий, основанных на экстремальных интерпретаций их учения формируют основы террористической деятельности. Что объединяет их всех является борьба за влияние, господство и власть. Опасность в том, что религиозная идеология терроризма быстро становится глобальным явлением. Тем не менее, в более глубокий взгляд терроризма, скорее всего, будут обусловлены политическими, националистическими и сепаратистскими движениями.
В то время как водители террористической деятельности часто сложный и многоаспектный, есть несколько обобщенные и существенные социально-экономические корреляты терроризма. Страны с более высоким уровнем терроризма было установлено, что три статистически значимых факторов: больших социальных военных действий между различными этническими, религиозными и языковыми группами, практика грубых нарушений прав человека в стране, высоким уровнем коррупции и организованной преступности.

Важно отметить, что бедность государства в целом или отсутствия ресурсов мало объяснительную силу на начало терроризма. Это означает, что слабые политические системы и неэффективной государственный контроль, несоблюдение правовых норм, большой разрыв между чрезвычайно богатыми и невыносимо бедных групп населения, спонсируемые государством насилие и вообще неравенство может привести к возникновению террористических организаций намного больше, чем экономическая производительность банков и компаний.

X. Make up 4-6 sentences to insert into the text to reconstruct its original form:
Human health and well-being depend on the quality of the environment we live in. Sadly, it is deteriorating at an alarming pace, which puts future generations at risk.
Corruption is ruining the abilities of countries to protect their environment. Corruption makes it impossible for countries to control pollution, manage their renewable resources (forests and fisheries), and protect their wildlife. When corruption becomes excessive, a number of corroding activities take place.
….....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
It appears that systems can work when corruption remains within 5 to 15 per cent of the cost of doing business. When corruption starts to eat into more than 20 per cent of a project cost, the project is stalled, or completed so poorly that users are at risk, e.g., crumbling highways, shaky bridges, unreliable power plants.
