Задание 4. Перепишите и письменно переведите 2-ой абзац текста.
What goods and services are to be produces and in what quantities are they to be produced? Individuals and societies can obtain things by producing them themselves, exchanging things they already own for them, or receiving them as gifts. Since a society cannot have everything, it must decide which goods and services it will have now and which ones it is willing to postpone having or giving up completely. Sometimes the choices can be quite difficult. For example, there are nations today, known as less-developed countries (LDC’s). It takes the effort of most of their labour force just to feed and to clothe their people. For such a society to raise its living standards it would be necessary to increase production beyond present levels. But if everyone in the country is already working at a full-time job, how can total production be increased? In this case the way out is to modernize it. This might require shifting workers out of the production of food and clothing into the production of additional capital, such as machines, tools, factories. It would mean that less food and clothing would be produces for present use in order to increase output some time in future. For a nation with large numbers of people living in poverty even the slightest reduction in the food supply could trigger widespread hunger. Fortunately there are many international agencies and generous nations that are ready to render assistance to the LCD’s helping them modernize while feeding people.
