1. What is polythene? 2. Where are polythene cables widely used?
3. When did their industrial production start?
4. What types of polythene cables are there?

What is polythene? It is a thermoplastic material used as insulator. Polythene is mainly
used in cases where a chemically-resistant plastic material is needed.
It is well-known fact that cables are classified as belonging to the main parts in the
modern communication systems. Cables used in communication differ in length, construction,
properties and cost. Polythene cables are widely used in transmitting electrical energy from area
to area. Polythene cables are comparatively new devices. Their industrial production started only
after World War II. They have many advantages: they may be used for both
a conductor insulation and a sheath which makes them one of the most usable substance in
industry.
There exist two types of polythene cables: the one having polythene insulation for the
conductors, and the other having paper insulation. The number of pairs in different cables is also
differen

My winter vacation passed wonderfully. This year heavy snow covered the ground, so there was no time to get bored. Together with friends we drove in a sleigh, made snowmen, played snowballs and just had fun. In the evening I watched TV, talked on the phone with friends and occasionally played on the computer.

The second week my family took me to a winter resort. I don’t ski very well, so it was hard in the beginning to learn how to ski down mountain slopes. But the next day, I learned to keep balance and fell to the ground only a few times. At a ski resort we spent 4 days. During this period I managed to make friends and girlfriends, with whom now I keep in touch and correspond through the internet. We hope to see one another again at the same place next year.

By the end of winter break my spirits fell. Suddenly it came in on me that I had not done some homework. But still there were a couple of days left, and I had time to do the tasks before the beginning of classes. How quickly vacations end! And how long a school year lasts!

1) i usually get up at 7 oclock - я обычно встаю в 7 часов. 2) i prefer boiled egs in the morning - я предпочитаю варёные яйца утром 3) вопрос не правильный. там непонятно о каком времени идёт речь. "как долго ты был в школе? " сегодня? вообще? вчера? а вообще так вопрос не задаётся. нет указателя на время. i have been to school very long - я был в школе долго.  4) my favorite part of the day is evening because i can go sleep. моя любимая часть дня это вечер потому что я могу пойти спать.
