2.5. Translate into English; use possessive case: фермерські землі, робота людей, експеримент вченого, експорт з Британії, вчорашні збори, трьохгодинна подорож, тижневі канікули, відстань в дві милі, двогодинна зустріч, найбільша в світі галузь. Choose the proper article (a/an, the,0) that best completes the sentence: 1. People grow … lot of crops. 2….best yield was obtained from the fertilized field. 3. Germination of seed requires …proper moisture conditions. 4. Wheat was probably … first cereal used for food. 5. Soil requirements are not always …same. Complete the sentences with indefinite or negative pronouns: 1. There is … in the field. It’s empty. 2. Is there … in the field? – No, it’s empty. 3 We have grown … which you will like very much. 4. Is there … here who can speak Spanish? 5. You must do … to improve soil fertility.
2.8. Use necessary comparative constructions: 1. … better conditions for germination of seed you can provide … better yield you will get. 2. Organic fertilizers are … useful than chemical fertilizers. 3. This year the yield was …good as it was two years ago. 4. The area of arable land in this farm is as large …in that. 5. Is wheat more important … oats? Step 3 Project Work (speaking-reading-speaking-writing) Skim Text B and find out if the given statements agree with the text: 1. Developed agriculture includes successful use of soils, high-yielding varieties and hybrids of crops, productive animal breeding, full mechanization and high application of fertilizers. 2. The most important factor about the soil is its fertility. 3. Soil fertility cannot be improved in good farming. 4. The need of nutrients never takes into consideration the soil types. Text B. FACTORS AFFECTING SUCCESSFUL FARMING 1. Successful farming means making the best and the most scientific use of natural conditions, land, crops, livestock, machinery and all the other things which have to be put together to make the farming system work1. 2. Important points to be taken into consideration are: the soil types of the district, annual rainfall, maximum and minimum temperatures, etc. 3. Some good clay and loamy soils are naturally highly fertile, some light sandy soils are naturally poor. The various factors that make up soil fertility are: moisture conditions, plant food and soil structure. 4. All these things may be regulated by a proper management of the soil. So, one important job for the farmer is to get the land into good condition2 and to keep it that way. Such land is more easily cultivated, provides better conditions for germination of seed and for growth and in the end produces better crops. 5. The supply of the plant nutrients varies with the type of soil and its previous cropping and management, but it is under the control of the farmer, too. Notes and commentaries: 1to make the system work – змусити систему працювати 2to get…into… condition – привести …в …стан
3.2. Make a written translation of Text C. Use a dictionary: Text C. CONDITIONS OF SCIENTIFIC AGRICULTURE 1. In order to understand the scientific growing of crops one must know the temperature requirements of plants, the optimum temperature for germination and growth varying with different kinds of plants. So, such cereals or grain crops as wheat and oats will grow at a lower temperature than cotton or corn. 2. Good farming keeps land and crops in healthy conditions and grows the largest crops possible. Land and crops are kept in healthy condition by good cultivation and by keeping up the amount of organic matter, by good management, by a proper rotation, and by the control of weeds, pests and diseases.

Step 1 (speaking-reading-speaking-writing) 1.1. Read the words and find their Ukrainian equivalents: physical, chemical, biological, complex, fundamental, drainage, nature, culture, finally, formation, process, potential, series, season, result, reproduce, generation, forage, organic, fragment, texture.
1.2. Study the new words:
1.3. Translate the words. Pay attention to their word-building means: - to differ – difference – different – differently; - variable – variant – variation – varied –variety – various – vary - vegetable – to vegetate – vegetation - to grow – growth – growing - to utilize – utility - fertile – fertility – fertilizer – fertilization - result – to result – resulting - complex – complexity - to produce – production – to reproduce – reproduction – product – productivity – productively - to depend – dependent 1.4. Read Text A and find out what are the factors influencing the development of soils: Text A. SOIL 1. Soil plays a vital and important role in the life of the world and mankind. It is in fact a highly organized physical, chemical and biological complex all of us are dependent on. As the supporter of vegetable life, the soil plays the most fundamental of roles in providing food for all animals and men. 2. Soils develop under the influences of climate, vegetation, slope and drainage, time, the nature of the parent material, and the culture. Climate influences plants, animals and soil directly. Plants influence the soil, the animals and the climate near the ground. Animals play a considerable role in soil development, the type of soil often influences the animals which are present in it, while the animals also influence the vegetation which is growing in the soil. Finally climate through weathering influences the rocks, which in time become part of the soil through the process of soil formation. 3. All soils do not have the same utility, but man uses different soils in different ways. "Good" land for production of food-stuffs must lie well and have good depth, for yields are dependent upon the ability of the soil to take up and use fertilizers and water. Man has done much to adapt crops to the soil and to provide various kinds of fertilizers for plant growth and development. Soils that are not good for the production of food-stuffs may be valuable in other ways. For example, podzols in high elevations are poor for crops but they comprise excellent forest soils. 4. Each soil series requires skilful handling if it is to produce to its maximum potential; but no two series make the same demands. From season to season conditions of temperature and moisture change, so the farmer must change his management to produce better drainage, improve tilth, prevent erosion, and test his soil to identify the proper kind and the correct proportion of fertilizer needed. Only by careful study of the soil, resulting in an understanding of the complexity of its nature and uses, will man be able to provide food for all the people who will inhabit the Earth. The soil cannot reproduce itself. Therefore, man should improve it through good management and treatment so that future generations can farm more efficiently than their fathers and grandfathers have done. Man can improve the soil now in use and discover how more kinds of soils can be utilized more productively. 5. So, the results obtained in soil science can be applied to practical problems in agriculture, horticulture, forestry, engineering, and in planning the future use of land.
