such as amplifying electronic signals, adding binary numbers, and
demodulating radio signals to recover the information they carry.
Circuits are also used to generate waveforms useful for
synchronization and timing, as in television, and for correcting errors in
digital information, as in telecommunications.
Prior to

the 1960s, circuits consisted of separate electronic
devices—resistors, capacitors

, inductors, and vacuum tubes—
assembled

. Since then, there has been a revolutionary trend toward
integrating electronic devices on a single tiny chip of silicon or some
other semiconductive material. The complex task of manufacturing
these chips uses the most advanced technology; including computers,
electron-beam lithography, micro-manipulators, ion-beam implantation,
and ultra clean environments. Much of the research in electronics is
directed toward creating even smaller chips, faster switching of
components, and three-dimensional integrated circuits.
Vocabulary:
1. circuit – схема, контур
2. scale – шкала, масштаб
3. explosive – взрывчатое вещество, взрывной
4. unabated – неослабленный
5. prior to – предшествующий, предварительный
6. capacitor – конденсатор
7. to assemble – собирать, монтировать
8. chassis – шасси, ходовая часть
9. bulky package – единый модуль
7) Communications and Control
1. What do you know about control systems?
2. In what spheres are control systems used?
3. Can you characterize digital systems advantages in the
sphere of modern technologies application?
Engineers in this field are concerned with all aspects of
electrical communications, from fundamental questions such as "What
is information?" to the highly practical, such as design of telephone
systems. In designing communication systems, engineers rely heavily
on various branches of advanced mathematics, such as Fourier
analysis, linear systems theory, linear algebra, complex variables,
differential equations

theory. Control systems are
used extensively in aircraft and ships, in military fire-control systems,

e.g. с). - You are to read lesson 8 at home, and next lesson I shall
ask you to (re) tell the story in your own words.
Write in one's own words
can be used to denote written
reproduction of a story.
Конспект, краткий план
- precis
Precis
['preisi], of French origin, denotes а particular type of
summary
written by schoolchildren or students as an exercise in
picking out the important points in a passage and expressing them
clearly and concisely. А precis is usually expected to be between, а
sixth and а tenth of the original in length, depending on how much is
expressed in the passage. It is usually done in the native language,
but some teachers of English as а foreign language use it too.
Precis
is used with the verb to make or to write, as follows:
to make/write а precis of а passage/text/article.
It is also used as а verb.
e.g. Precis the following passage.
With reference to complete works (stories, novels, plays, etc.)
precis is not appropriate. Неге the general words summary
,
summarize, or the more specific word synopsis [si'nopsis] are used.
e.g. а). - I'd like you to finish reading the story/novel and make а
summary/synopsis of the plot.
b). Summarize the events which led up to the quarrel.
Note that plan cannot be used in such sentences as (а). This word
is appropriate only when the novel, story, etc. is: (1) not yet written, (2)
made by the author.
Thus the author of а novel, story or play may make а plan of the
work he intends to write, or а student may make a plan for an essay,
but one cannot make а plan of а work already written by someone
else. If Russian teachers need а word to denote something less than а
synopsis of the plot, for example what is called in Russian nлан
текста, the word outline can be used.
e.g. You are to make an outline of the text/passage at home.
However, this type of work is not customary in England and the
suggested translation will therefore only give а very general idea of
what is meant.
Сочинение
- composition and essay
Composition
and essay are both translated into Russian as
сочинение but there is а distinction between them.
А composition is fairly short (usually 1-3 pages) and simple,
usually narrative or descriptive. Compositions are written by
schoolchildren in their own language up to the age of about 14, and in
