The most important industrial development
in Britain in the past 20 years or so has been
the growth of the offshore oil and gas indus-
tries, as well as the wide application of new
microelectronic technologies in industry and
commerce. Although expanding service in-
dustries, like finance and tourism, now rep-
resent about 65 percent of Britain's national
output, manufacturing still plays a vital role
in the economy. Britain takes a leading part
in high technology industries like chemicals,
aerospace and electronics where British
companies are among the world's biggest
and most successful. Кто мне

AT INTERVIEW FOR A JOB

On Wednesday I had an important interview for a job.I (got up) at 7 o`clock in the morning and (shaved) carefully. I (put on) my best jacket and trousers. I (had to travel) by train , so I (walked) to the station.

On my way I (saw) a man who (was painting) his fence with red paint.The man (didn't notice) me: he (was looking) at the fence.Then he (turned) suddenly and (splashed) my beautiful trousers! The man (apologised) to me, but the damage (had already been done).

''If I (go) home , I (will be late) for the interview". I (thought) There (is) a department store not far from the station , so I (decided) to buy a new pair.

I (found) a nice pair of trousers and since I (was) in a hurry, I (decided) to change on the train. The stop (was) full , so I (paid) hurriedly for my trousers, (took) my shopping bag and (left) .

I (arrived) at the station just in time to catch the train. Now I (was sure) that I (wouldn't be late) for the interview. I (smiled) happily at an elderly lady who (was staring) at my trousers and (went) to the toilet to change. I (threw) my stained trousers out of the window. Then I (opened) the bag to get my new ones , but all I (found) was a pink woollen sweater!

1) The picture shows a street of terraced houses in a city. I don't know where it is exactly. Perhaps it is in Germany, but it is probably in Britain orIreland somewhere. The houses are quite small and they haven't got front gardens. But some houses look very colorful. Перевод: Картина показывает улицу таунхаусы в городе. Я не знаю, где именно. Возможно, он находится в Германии, но это, вероятно, в Великобритании илиИрландия куда-то. Дома довольно мало, и они не получили палисадники. Но некоторые дома выглядят очень красочные.
2) Oh, and there is someone washing his car in the background. - На переднем плане есть некоторые маленькие дети, которые играют в футбол на улице
3) It is not a very beautiful street, but the atmosphere seems very friendly and relaxed. - Это не очень красивая улица, но атмосфера, кажется, очень дружелюбны и расслаблены. 
4)  The houses are quite small and they haven't got front gardens. But some houses look very colorful. In the foreground there are some young kids who are playing football in the street. And there are two old men on the right who are chatting to each other in front of one of the houses. Perhaps they are gossiping about the neighborhoods. Oh, and there is someone washing his car in the background. It is not a very beautiful street, but the atmosphere seems very friendly and relaxed. - Домов довольно мало, и они не получили палисадники. Но некоторые дома выглядят очень красочными. На переднем плане есть некоторые маленькие дети, которые играют в футбол на улице. И есть два старики справа, которые, болтая друг с другом перед одним из домов. Возможно, они сплетничают о кварталах. Ох, и есть кто-то моет машину в фоновом режиме. Это не очень красивая улица, но атмосфера, кажется, очень дружелюбной и расслабленой.
Why? I think the author would show us that not only external beauty plays an important and "beautiful" role in life, but also internally. - Почему? Думаю автор хотел показать нам что не только внешняя красота играет важную и "красивую" роль в жизне, но и внутреняя.
