I’m not going on holiday this year. My mortgage has just gone up and I can’t afford a holiday abroad. I’m going to go to Wales though for a friend’s wedding.’
Mary: ‘I’ve heard a lot about ‘staycations’ but I’m going on holiday like I do every year. I always go to Spain for a week as normal. You just can’t trust the British weather! ’
Nicole:’ I’m not going on holiday this summer, but not because of the economic crisis. I want to help the environment. It’s crazy that everyone is flying around the world when there are beautiful places to visit here in our own country.
Steve: ‘Staycations?! What a lot of rubbish in this trend! People are still going on holidays. It’s cheaper to get a flight and leave Britain than to stay here for your holidays. I’m going to get a cheap flight somewhere and have a real break.’
Michael: ‘I’m staying at home this year. I want to spend my holiday getting organised, painting, decorating etc. I think we should learn to enjoy what we have close to home. If everyone travelled less the world would be a lot simpler.’
electronic devices are widely used in scientific research and industrial designing, they control the work of plants and power stations, calculate the trajectories of space-ships and help the people discover new phenomena of nature. - электронные устройства широко используются в научных исследованиях и промышленном проектировании, они контролируют работу заводов и электростанций, расчеты траекторий космических кораблей и людям открыть для себя новые явления природы.
with the invention of the transistor all essential circuit functions could be carried out inside solid bodies.- с изобретением все необходимые функции цепи стали (смогли) осуществляться внутри твердого тела.
the progress in semiconductor technology led to the development of the integrated circuit (1c), which was discovered due to the efforts of john kilby in 1958.- прогресс в области технологий к развитию интегральной схемы (1с), которая была открыта усилиям джона килби в 1958 году.
instead of making, testing and assembling deserete components on a chip one at a time, large groupings of these components together with their interconnections were made all at a time. - вместо изготовления, тестирования и монтажа компонентов по одному чипу за раз, крупные группировки этих компонентов и их взаимосвязей были сделаны все за один раз. (технический текст, не совсем понимаю, о чем речь, поправьте, здесь нужно инженерное образование)
