− consent

Решение:

Для успешного выполнения данного задания необходимо иметь общие знания о государственном устройстве Великобритании и изучить варианты ответов.
reading – чтение;
ratification – утверждение;
consideration – рассмотрение;
consent – согласие, разрешение.
Каждый законопроект проходит несколько этапов обсуждения, называемых чтениями. Первое чтение представляет собой чистую формальность.
Во втором чтении обсуждаются общие принципы законопроекта.
После того как палата рассмотрела законопроект, следует третье чтение. После прохождения в одной палате законопроект посылается в другую палату. Если он принят обеими палатами в одной и той же редакции, он может быть представлен Суверену на утверждение. Если же одна из палат не соглашается с поправками другой, и они не могут разрешить свои разногласия, законопроект не утверждается.
Таким образом, правильный вариант ответа reading: «Стадия, которую проходит билль до того как он становится законом Парламента, – чтение».

Britain has some excellent traditional food: lamb from Wales, shellfish and fresh salmon from Northern Ireland, fresh or smoked fish from England and Wales. Unfortunately, good British food is difficult to find. Only 2 per cent of restaurants in London serve British food. There are many more Italian, Chinese and Indian restaurants.
Restaurants serving “British” food tend to be either very expensive and found in luxury hotels, or cheap and nasty serving mainly fried food. You can eat a good “British” meal without spending a lot of money by going to a pub. Most pubs now serve good value hot and cold meals. They often have family areas where people under 16 can sit and eat.

Seven per cent of British schoolchildren go to private schools called independent schools. There are 2,400 independent schools and they have been growing in number and popularity since the mid-1980s.
Parents pay for these schools, and fees vary from about 250 pounds a term for a private nursery to 3,000 pounds a term or more for a secondary boarding school. Most independent schools are called prep (preparatory) schools because they prepare the children for the Common Entrance Exam which they take at the age of 11. This exam is for entry into the best schools.

Preservice education
1. The first stage of preservice education is the study of one or more principal subjects that the student is preparing to teach. For example, students in many colleges of education in England study only one principal subject, to which they devote about one-third of their total time. In the United States, the first two years of college or university work may include some principal subjects. Both patterns have their critics, the first because it produces narrow intellectual specialists, the second because it encourages dilettantism and inadequate depth.
2. The second stage of preservice education includes the study of philosophy, sociology, history of education, and educational psychology. These courses contribute to the student’s general education and personal development as well as providing him with knowledge of differences in individual educability or educational opportunity.
3. The third stage of preservice education includes the study of teaching methods, that is, the set of special methods and principles that are used when teaching a particular subject.
4. The last stage of preservice education is teaching practice, usually carried own in model schools attached to colleges or universities. For example, a typical model school for medical students is a teaching hospital, where they receive practical training from experienced doctors.

American society seems to be much more informal than the British and, in some ways, is characterized by less social distinction. Students do not rise when a teacher enters the room. One does not always address a person by his title, such as “Major” or “General” or “Doctor”. The respectful “Sir” is not always used in the northern and western parts of the country.
However, it is best to use a person’s title when first meeting him/her, and then allow the person to tell you how he/she wishes to be called.
