Mixed Economy There are three types of management in economies. An economy may be almost totally planned, as it was in the Soviet Union. An economy may be almost totally unplanned, as it is in the USA, оr an economy may be a combination of planning and freedom of operation. Examples of the latter are Japan and South Korea.

In a planned economy the government decides what goods are to be pro¬duced and how they are to be marketed. Governments set all the priorities, and the producers are to follow the directions given to them.

In a partially planned economy such as Japan’s, the government often encourages industry and helps it with subsidies. Government also makes in¬vestments and regulates trade.

The United States is an example of an unplanned economy. But it has a lot of government in-tervention in economic activity. As the economy of the United States grew, and as government and its importance increased, the gov¬ernment policy at every level acquired greater importance for the econo-my.

But the economy of the United States may be called unplanned because the government does not regulate what will be produced and how it will be marketed. These decisions are left to the pro-ducers. Even the great amount of government regulation that has emerged since the Great Depression has not turned the economy of the United States into a planned economy.

The name of the American economic system is capitalism. Another name for it is the free mar-ket economy.

Образец разговорной темы.

MY FAMILY Our family is not very large. I have a father, a brother and a sister. We all live together in a new flat in one of the industrial centres of Minsk.

My father Igor Ivanovich is 45 years old. He is a tall and well-built man with short black hair and grey eyes. He works at a big automobile plant as an engineer. He likes his work and spends most of his time there. By character my father is a quiet man, while my mother is energetic and talkative. Her name is Olga Petrovna. She is a teacher of music and plays the piano well. My mother always has a lot of work to do about the house and at school. She is a busy woman and we all help her.

My sister’s name is Aila. Like her mother Alia has blue eyes and lovely, fair hair. She is a very good-looking girl. Alia is three years younger than me. She is a pupil of the 9th form. She does well at school and gets only good and excellent marks. Literature is her favourite subject and she wants to be-come a teacher, the same as me.

My name is Tanya. Last year I left school and tried to enter the University. But I failed in my exams. For a year I worked at school as a secretary and attended preparatory courses. Now I’m again an applicant for entry to the philological faculty of the University. I hope to be lucky this time.

Our family is very friendly. We like to spend time together. In the evenings we watch TV, read books and newspapers, listen to music or just talk about the events of the day. All of us like to spend our week-ends out of town. We often go to the village where our grandparents live. They are old-age pensioners now but prefer to live in the country.
