Prezentarea formulelor de salut specific englezesti utilizate la intalnire, la despartire,

in raport cu perioadele zilei

Saluturi in raport cu perioadele zilei, la intalnire.

"Good morning" / Buna dimineata.

La fel ca in limba romana, acest salut se foloseste la intalnire in primele ore ale diminetii, pana la ora pranzului.

" Good afternoon"/ Buna ziua

Se foloseste la intalnire, in intervalul dintre masa de pranz si ora 5 dupa amiaza ("tea time").

"Good evening"/ Buna seara.

Aceasta formula de salut se utilizeaza, deasemenea, la intalnirea cu o persoana, de obicei dupa "ora ceaiului".

Obs.1. Cand salutul este adresat unei persoane mai in varsta, uneia careia ii datoram respect, la formulele de salut, mentionate anterior, se vor adauga, dupa caz, cuvintele Sir, Madam, Inspector etc.

Obs. 2. - "Good day" - este folosit rar, numai la despartire, pentru intreruperea unei discutii neplacute sau chiar a unei relatii.

"Good evening"/Buna seara.

Se utilizeaza de obicei dupa ora 5.

Good night /Noapte buna.

Se spune la ore tarzii. Se foloseste doar la despartire.

Alte forme de salut specific englezesti:

"Hello" / Salut, noroc.

Este o forma de salut folosita intre prieteni sau cunoscuti, intre persoane de aceiasi varsta (sau varste apropiate).

"How do you'do"! / Va salut / Sa traiti / Sarut mana.

Aceasta forma de salut poate fi utilizata la orice ora, fata de persoane pe care le respectam. La ea se raspunde tot prin salutul "How do you do"!, cu care am fost intampinati.

"How are you ?"

Este o expresie cu referire la starea sanatatii sau dispozitia unei persoane; (niciodata prin "How do you do !").

Raspunsul variaza de la caz la caz:

- I'm fine, thanks / Sunt bine, mersi.

- I'm all right / Foarte bine.

- Just so and so / Asa si asa.

- No too well, I'm afraid / Mi-e teama ca nu (ma simt) prea bine.

Text specific: "What Is This?" Explicarea demonstrativelor "THIS" si "THAT". adverbelE "HERE" SI "THERE"

Tom: What is this, Mary?

Mary: This is a book, Tom.

It's an English book.

Tom: And what is that?

Mary: That is a picture. It's a fine picture, isn't it?

Tom: Where is the cat, Mary?

Mary: It is here, Tom. It's on the chair.

Tom: And where is the dog?

The dog is there

It's near the door.

Explicatii:

This se traduce prin: "acesta, acest, aceasta si determina un substantiv. Se foloseste la inceputul propozitiilor (in propozitiile afirmative si negative), pentru a arata ca obiectul sau de persoana mentionata se gaseste in apropierea vorbitorului.

That se traduce prin: "acela, acel, aceea" si se foloseste pentru a indica un obiect, un animal sau o persoana aflata la o mai mare departare de vorbitor.

"Here" si "There" sunt adverbe de loc, deci indica locul propriu-zis, nu directia.

Here - aici; indica apropierea

There - acolo; indica departarea.

Crime and Punishment

Crime violates the laws of a community, state, or nation. It is punishable in accordance with these laws. The definition of crime varies according to time and place, but the laws of most countries consider as crimes offences as arson, bigamy, burglary, forgery, murder, and treason.

Not all offences against the law are crimes. The laws that set down the punishments for crimes form the criminal law. This law defines as crimes those offences considered most harmful to the community.

Death or life imprisonment is the usual penalty for treason. Laws in the United States, for example, define a felony as a crime that is punishable by a term of one year or more in a state or federal prison. A person who commits a misdemeanor may be punished by a fine or a jail term of less than one year.

1. The defence attorney is cross-examining a witness. When all the evidence has been seen and heard, the jury will retire and decide whether the defendant is innocent or guilty.

In the case of a violent crime, they may find him guilty of first degree murder or willful murder. If the victim's death was accidental, the defendant may be found guilty of second degree murder or manslaughter.

If the victim was beaten up rather than killed, the defendant may be guilty of GBH - grevious bodily harm or, more simply, assault.

The list of violent criminals includes: kidnappers, arsonists, smugglers, blackmailers, forgers, armed robbers, burglars, pick-pockets, shoplifters and trespassers.

2. At the end of a trial, the judge will sum up and, in the case of a guilty verdict will sentence the defendant. He may sentence him to life imprisonment. In the United States, life imprisonment is the usual penalty for treason.

The judge may also sentence the defendant to a shorter prison sentence, as in the case of a burglary for instance.

In Britain, if you are accused of a crime or if you want to sue someone, you first have to talk to a solicitor who gives you preliminary advice and then will instruct a barrister to represent and defend you in a court.

Before the trial begins, the jurors swear to decide the facts fairly. They hear the testimony given by witnesses for both sides, including cross-examinations.

In civil suits for financial damages, the jury must decide who is at fault and must determine the amount of money to be paid.

British Newspapers

Daily papers are those that are published daily from Monday to Saturday. There are morning papers and the evening papers. There are "quality" papers for those who want to know about important happenings everywhere, both domestic news and foreign news (eg.The Times).

There are also "popular" newspapers for those who prefer entertainments to information (eg. Daily Mail).

Bold headlines and a variety of photos are features of the Britsh press. Many of the popular papers run strip-cartoons. Some newspapers have a woman's page, dealing with fashion, food etc.

Nearly all papers pay special attention to the reporting of sport and athletics.

There are also the provincial newspapers, which give full attention both to local and national affairs (eg. The Guardian, The Scotsman).

The Sunday papers provide, in addition to the news, interesting articles on music, drama, the cinema, newly-published books and gardening.

Television

This now plays such an important part in our lives that is essential to decide if it is a blessing or a curse. First of all television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a comparatively cheap one. It is more convenient and cheap to sit comfortably at home than to go outside for amusements. All we have to do is turn the knob and we can see different sorts of broadcastings, including the latest football match. Some people think that this is where the danger lies. The television viewer need do nothing.

On the other hand television keeps people informed about current events, allows us to follow the latest developments in science and politics and offers a great variety of programmes which are both instructive and stimulating.

The television screen itself has a terrible effect on us. A friend of mine told me the other day that his TV set had broken down and that he and his family had far more time to do things and that they had actually begun to talk to each other again.

Read and translate the following texts:

1. The British coastguards said last night that ships in the area of storms were picking up signals from the emergency radio beacons used when a ship is in difficulty. Eight vessels were taking part in a night search, assisted by U.S. Air Force planes from a base in the Azores.

The Meteorological Office predicts a slackening in the gales. But some coastguards stations were recording gusts of up to 80 m.p.h.

Gas, electricity and phone lines were cut off in some areas and at one stage only army amphibious were able to make the crossing of these areas.

( Adapted from: "The Guardian").

2. In June, summer sets in. June, July and August are summer months. June is one of the most pleasant months of the year.

The days are the longest as the sun rises early and sets late in the evening.

The trees are in leaf, roses begin to blossom and their sweet fragrance fills the air.

3. It's winter time.

The snow lies thick upon the ground.

Snowflakes are falling fast. Snow lies on the trees, on the roofs of the houses. All the rivers and lakes are frozen. Everything is covered with ice and snow. It is bitterly cold at times. The wind is blowing hard and sometimes motorcars can't get through the drifts. The snow gets frazen on top and you slide all over the place in all directions.

4. "It happened, on innumerable occasions, that nice, warm weather had been forecast and rain and snow fell all day long, or vice versa. Some people jumped to the conclusion that something must be wrong with the weather forecasts. They are mistaken and should be more careful with their allegations.

I have read an article in one of the Sunday papers and now I can tell you what the situation really is. All troubles are caused by anti-cyclones. The two naughtiest anti-cyclones are: the Azores and the Polar anti-cyclones.

The British meteorologists forecast the right weather as it really should be-and then these impertinent little anti-cyclones interfere and mess up everything.

That again proves that, if the British kept to themselves and did not mix with foreign things like Polar and Azores anti-cyclones they would be much better off."
