IV. Аудирование текста с опорой на текст.
At the end of the war the victorious Allies created the United Nations Organization in order to protect peace and democracy in the world and prevent new wars. But from the very start this new organization faces great difficulties. The idea of the four Allies (Soviet Union, United States, France and Britain) working together for the recovery of central Europe did not work.
Britain still considered itself to be a world power but it was clear that its international position was weakening.
After the Second World War the government concentrated on working out reforms aimed at doing away with social wrongs in British life. The reforms which were introduced by both the Conservative and Labour governments gave importance to people’s happiness and well-being. In 1944 the government introduced free secondary education for all. Parties agreed on the need to keep up the welfare state.
Like much of postwar Europe, Britain had become economically dependent on the United States. Thanks to the US Marshal Aid Programme, Britain was able to recover quickly from the war.
During the 20th century the monarchy became still more popular than in the times of Queen Victoria. George V started a tradition to speak to the people on Christmas Day. Since then the Christmas Speech of the monarch has also become a tradition.
In the 1950s Britain began to give up its possessions. Millions of people in former British colonies became completely self-governing. They were invited to join the Commonwealth as free and equal members.
But beginning with the 1970s Britain was gradually falling behind its European neighbours economically. In 1973 Britain joined the European Community (Common Market) with the hope to raise its economic wealth. But it didn’t happen. Britain also faced new social problems after the arrival of immigrants in the country. Unemployment increased rapidly at the end of the 1970s and in the 1984 the miners went on strike protesting against the closing of mines. Between 1954 and 1984 the situation was very intensive.
In 1979 the leader of the Conservative Party Margaret Thatcher was elected the Prime Minister. She called on the nation for hard work, patriotism and self-help. She attached great importance to free trade at home and abroad, and insisted that government interference in economy should be minimal. Thatcher succeeded in returning a number of nationalized industries to the private sector.
In the 1983 elections Thatcher was returned to power. However, there were many people in Britain who were dissatisfied with the Thatcher government. Thatcher had promised to stop Britain’s decline, but by 1983 she had not succeeded. In spite of all problems, Thatcher Conservative party was still more popular than any other party in 1987.
