Accidental Rise

16 Июня 2013, реферат

I used an Accidental Rise, because I wanted to make one word of the sentence more prominent than the others.
Alternative Questions.
Alternative questions have the low-rising nuclear tone in the first intonation-group and the low-falling nuclear tone in the final intonation-group.
Disjunctive Question.
Disjunctive question consists of two intonation-groups.
The first intonation-group has generally the low-falling nuclear tone. I used the low-rising nuclear tone in the final intonation-group to show that I am not certain of the facts expressed in the first part of the question. But I could also use the low-falling nuclear tone in the tag to show that I am certain of the facts expressed in the first part of the question.

Accounting for vacation pay in USA

12 Мая 2013, реферат

acation - a temporary leave from work during the week for a certain period of time for recreation and other social purposes while maintaining the same work. It may come as a surprise that there are no U.S. laws requiring employers to offer vacation time whether paid or unpaid to its workers. The U.S. is one of the few industrialized nations where the government does not regulate benefits in the private work sector. 1) Enjoying some paid time off from work this summer? Please do, but don’t take that time for granted. That's the main idea of the article “Why is America the 'no-vacation nation'?” written by A. Pawlowski. If you like to take lots of vacation, the United States is not the place to work.

Advertising: curse or blessing?

08 Декабря 2013, реферат

Once as usual I was sitting in front of the TV, watching a film when unexpectedly it was interrupted by ads. I saw a car which was carrying … a whole plane!!! I was furious because as we know and under all laws of physics a car could not get under way from a place with the cargo exceeding its weight tens, and even hundreds times!!!
I was very much interested by this advertising from the point of view of promotion of this car. How the founders of advertising manage with the help of a roller lasting usually for some seconds to convince the person that exactly THIS car is necessary to him.

27 Октября 2013, контрольная работа

Russia comprises roughly three-quarters of the territory of the former Soviet
Union but has relatively little area suited for agriculture because of its arid climate
and inconsistent rainfall. Northern areas concentrate mainly on livestock, and the

How often has each of us seen something happen while with another person and much to our disappointment we each come away from the event with a different recollection? The cumulative effect of our life experiences creates in each of us a lens through which we observe what goes on around us. This lens focuses our attention on particular aspects of what we see. Society passes principles and values to future generations through Customs, Traditions and Rituals that mold this lens through which we view our lives and shape our opinions. Throughout history, cultures have passed their Family Values to future generations by these means.

Appraising the European Central Bank

03 Июня 2013, доклад

The ECB has run as loose a monetary policy as other central banks have. It is just rather more coy about it.
The global economy has stopped sinking and central bankers are pausing for breath. As The Economist went to press on July 2nd, the European Central Bank (ECB) was expected to keep its main “refi” interest rate unchanged, at 1%. The ECB’s rate-setting council has been chary of cutting rates closer to zero as policymakers elsewhere have done. Its reluctance to do more has attracted criticism, only some of it fair.
