The task is to substitute English words with Russian equivalents. The vocabulary is business and finance focused. Students will also benefit from finding a number of synonymous constructions for the phrases to be translated into English. If used for self-study, the worksheet will require work with a dictionary or a teacher’s guidance. While using it for my own lessons, I encouraged students to think of the answers to the questions posed by the journalist in the text before proceeding to reading the author’s answers. This prompted a lively discussion in the group and a bit of a break from a rather intense grammar and vocab exercise.
