A. Content Anticipation
Say how you usually choose birthday presents.
Choosing a birthday gift is the hardest part. It is difficult to guess what
the person wants. In order to choose the right thing, I first ask what
exactly the birthday man wants. If he does not say, then paying attention
to his hobby and what he is interested in, whether he may have said
something before, I analyze everything and choose in my opinion the
thing that would fit the birthday man.

how much it is true about Ukraine.
I think the whole truth applies to buyers in Ukraine. After all, people do
not always have enough money to buy something for themselves.
D. Prediction

This place is considered to be a great one for shopping. Try to predict two
reasons for that
І can't exactly predict what is really there, but i think if it really is
considered a great place to go shopping then the first reason is that it is in
america and there are really good and quality things out there. The second
reason is that if it is told all over the world, it is a really great place for
shopping.

Watch the interview with Russel Padmore, BBC Business Reporter, and
explain what is meant by the Credit Crunch.
The credit crisis is a sudden decrease in the overall availability of credit
or a sudden tightening of the conditions necessary for obtaining a loan
from banks. The credit crisis usually implies a decrease in the availability
of credit, regardless of the increase in official interest rates. In such
situations, the relationship between credit availability and interest rate
changes. A loan becomes less accessible at any time of the official
interest rate, or there is no longer a clear relationship between interest
rates and loan availability.

Scene 9: Revision 10:22:55
Watch the final scene and summarize the learning tips
To begin, you need to make a collage on the wall using English words
related to the culture of the country whose language you want to learn.
For example, while learning English, you can hang a picture of the British
flag on the wall. This is a difficult task. Start teaching the flag from the
words you have already learned, and gradually add new ones.
Use the Internet. There are now many English language sites on the web.
Online lessons are usually different from English lessons, which will
certainly give results.
Set a goal. Determine what you need the language for. You may soon be
visiting an English-speaking country or offered a job that requires
knowledge of a foreign language. Let this goal become an additional
motivation for you. Divide the main task into several small ones for quick
study.
Try to surround yourself with a foreign language. To get started, change
the phone menu language from Russian to English. And then try texting
your friends in English, reading the news, listening to music, and more.

Follow-up 3: Global Issues. the Credit Crunch
Search the internet for more information about the Credit Crunch.
In groups, discuss the influence of the Credit Crunch on Ukraine.
The 2008-09 crisis was a typical example of a boom-and-bust cycle,
when sharp economic growth is replaced by a sharp downturn that has
been driven by global trends.
After the crisis, credit losses were not fully recognized by banks, and
fundamental problems, such as the lack of transparent credit assessment
of debtors, mass lending to bank owners and a significant concentration
of loans to the largest business groups, only worsened. As a result, the
events of 2014-2016 became the trigger for the "perfect storm" in the
banking system of Ukraine.
Write some tips for Ukrainian families about how to survive in a time
of recession.
First of all, you do not need to panic, but keep calm. You need to tune in
to the good and not think about the bad. Keep up the good work and wait
for things to get better.
