Task 1. Read and translate the text. A stock exchange is a highly organized financial market where bonds, shares and other securities can be bought or sold. Stock market business is worldwide. London, Johannesburg, New York, Melbourne, Tokyo, Calcutta, Paris, Amsterdam and Brussels are all famous centres of stock exchange activity. The function of a stock exchange is to put those who wish to sell securities in touch with those who wish to buy them. The London Stock Exchange plays a vital role in maintaining London’s position as a major financial centre. London has had a stock exchange for dealing in different securities for over 200 years, its first building was constructed in 1801. Then, in 1853 a new building was constructed on the same site. But to keep pace with modern requirements and to provide the most up-to-date facilities for both members and investors it was decided once again to rebuild the Stock Exchange on the same site. Work started in 1966. The Stock Exchange was completed in 1972. As a result of legal reforms implemented in 1986 and known as “Big Bang”, the Exchange has changed radically over recent years. The most fundamental change has been the move away from the traditional market floor to screen-based trading. Now stockbrokers deal in securities through telephones and computers which have linked London much more closely with the other major international financial centres. Note on the text to deal in – торговать to deal with – иметь дело с чем-либо vital role – жизненно важная роль keep pace with – идти в ногу с “Big Bang” – «Биг Бэнг» («Большой взрыв» – реорганизация Лондонской биржи) radically – радикально screen-based trading – электронная торговля Task 2.
