Exercise 532. Translate the dialogues.
- Привет Мейсон! Как дела у твоего общительного племянника? Мне
кажется, в прошлом месяце он был безработный.
- Привет Карлсон! Да, это правда. Хочу заметить, Линкольн раньше
был очень настойчивым, однако в этом месяце он ведёт себя не
последовательно. Более того, сейчас он имеет проблемы с
делегированием. Мне кажется, ему бы лучше ровняться на нашего
целеустремлённого начальника, которые никогда не бросает свои
цели.
- Конечно! Введи линкольна в курс дела. Очевидно он сможет найти
высокооплачиваемую работу. Очевидно ему бы лучше перестать
оттягивать время и не искать халявы.
Exercise 533. Read and discuss an article.
The Stories Of These 5 Athletes Will Motivate Everyone Of You

 Muhammad Ali, boxer. “He who is not courageous (смелый)
enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.” – Muhammad
Ali.
Regarded (относятся, как к) as the greatest boxer of all
time, Muhammad Ali won many wards such as the Golden Glove and an
Olympic Gold medal at the 1960 games in Rome. He has inspired many
people by his career and his way of life. After retiring (ушёл) from the
ring, he devoted (посвятил) his life to philanthropy and charities,
especially those connected with Parkinson’s disease (болезнь) from
which he suffered (страдал). Muhammad Ali was no stranger to risk.
From the early age of 12 when someone stole (украл) his bike, he was
determined to take on any future thieves (воров), so he learned how to
fight.
Many athletes go through a very difficult process of coping (справиться
с) with perfectionism and their fear (страхом) of failure. This often
prevents them from reaching their full potential. Anything less than
perfection and winning is counted as failure. What athletes do not want to
happen often does because they are haunted (преследует) by fear of
making mistakes. This mindset results in more tension (напряжение),
indecision (нерешительность) and being too careful. Muhammad Ali
was a superb (отличнейший) example of taking calculated risks and has
remained an inspiration for many generations.

greatest Olympian swimmer of all time. Everyone thought that no
swimmer would be able to win 8 gold medals in just one Olympic
