Luckily for Alice, the little magic bottle had now had its full effect, and she grew no larger: still it was very uncomfortable, and, as there seemed to be no sort of chance of her ever getting out of the room again, no wonder she felt unhappy.

'It was much pleasanter at home,' thought poor Alice, 'when one wasn't always growing larger and smaller, and being ordered about by mice and rabbits. I almost wish I hadn't gone down that rabbit-hole-and yet-and yet-it's rather curious, you know, this sort of life! I do wonder what CAN have happened to me!

So really what we are talking about most of the time is simply a case of common sense. There is nothing revolutionary or even new here. The trouble is that most managers tend to forget about developing their own managerial skills as soon as they become a manager. There is a certain sense of irony in this, don’t you think? Let’s move on and talk about a few more of these issues. One thing that I have come across again and again is the situation in which managers pretend that change is not happening. But when change is happening, this is the worst thing they can do. It’s like burying one’s head in the sand. Your staff will know that something is up and wonder why you are being secretive – or worse – dishonest. So – communicate. Tell your staff exactly what is happening and give them opportunities to ask questions. Everybody will come out winning because honesty is always the best policy. Sharing information is a golden rule of management. Sometimes there’s a tendency to keep things to one’s self but this isn’t usually the best. Imagine a situation where you are thinking about approaching a new client, for example. If we only communicate this information to our immediate management team, then we might well be neglecting to tell somebody who is potentially the ideal person to come up with an idea to make contact with this new client – for whatever reason. There are other scenarios too – work can get duplicated and – even worse – people can get offended. We don’t want to get anybody’s back up! Staff need to feel that they are trusted to work independently and manage their own workloads. It’s a proven fact that workers in this environment are happier and are more productive. As managers we should learn to micromanage – to make sure that staff know exactly what they’re supposed to be doing and then just let them get on with it. We should never breathe down their necks. That isn’t going to help anybody.

One of England’s symbols that you will recognise from football shirts around the world is the Saint George’s Cross: a red cross on a white background. This is the English flag and it is also incorporated into the Union Jack; the flag of Great Britain. The design for the flag can be traced back to the eleventh century when the English soldiers taking part in the Holy Crusades used to wear it into battle. They adopted the cross at the same time as they adopted Saint George himself; a fourth century Christian martyr, to be the Patron saint of England. Saint George’s day is England’s National day. It falls on April 24th  but is not celebrated extensively. It was not until 1277 that the flag was officially declared the national flag of England. Let’s move on to plants and flowers. While Wales has the daffodil and the leek, Scotland the thistle and Northern Ireland the shamrock, England’s flower is of course the rose. Everybody talks about the English rose. We are used to seeing the red rose as an insignia on the England national rugby team’s shirts and it is this red rose that we usually associate with England. But the white rose is also linked to England and is used on different occasions. When we sometimes refer to a certain type of woman as being “An English Rose” we are talking about an unflawed complexion, fair skin and a faint blush of pink about the cheeks – the colours of the roses that we find in gardens all over the nation. Besides a cross and a rose, England also has a third symbol: Three Lions. Once again, the national football team wears the three lions on the pitch and so does the English national cricket team of course.

Переведите данный текст с английского языка на русский.

For many years now we have been referring to English as a global language .... as the language of communication and technology. Everybody seems to be learning English and it isn’t uncommon to see English being used as a means of communication between .... let’s see ... a German scientist .... and an Italian politician. These days ... if you don’t know English, you are in danger of being excluded from what’s going on ...in education, at work ... and especially in the world of technological advances. Very soon English will be the second language of all the people in the world. This is happening while I am speaking to you. We can’t be certain of how long the process will take but there is no doubt that it will happen ... and my bet is that it will happen sooner rather than later. First of all English will be an obligatory subject on every school curriculum throughout the world. By the year 2010 around two billion people ... that’s about a third of the World’s population ..... will speak English as their second language. This isn’t my prediction by the way. This is what the experts say. We can see evidence of these changes all the time. Let’s take the Eurovision Song Contest as an example. Whatever we might think of the contest itself .... one thing that has changed recently is that now countries can opt to sing in English. In the last festival fourteen of the twenty five competing countries asked for the rules to be changed to allow them to sing in English. They argued that singing in their own language would put them at a disadvantage. I suspect that in a few years time all twenty-five countries will be singing in English. And what exactly does all of this mean for native speakers of English? Well, we are already in a minority. If the calculations are correct, then in ten years time, majority speakers ... that is non native English speakers ... will outnumber native English speakers by four to one. The two most important Englishes won’t be British English and American English. They’ll be Native English and Majority English. So native English speakers will be handicapped. We will be the only people in the world who speak just one language. Because ... let’s face it ... there won’t be much of a reason for native English speakers to learn a second language. We ... and not the Majority English speakers ... will be the disadvantaged.

And yet you incessantly stand on your head —

Do you think, at your age, it is right?'
