Вправа 1. Прочитати текст. Скласти план до тексту. Поставити до тексту сім власних запитань.

There are many organizations in the world, which work and cooperate together in dealing with international problems. Some of them are official, the other are public. Among them are the United Nations Organization, UNESCO, The Commonwealth of Nations, NATO, the European Union, Interpol, The Red Cross League, Greenpeace and many others.

Let's take, for example, the United Nations. It is an organization to which nearly all the countries of the world belong. Its headquarters are situated in New York. Its central aim is to maintain peace and security in the world, to develop friendly relations among nations.

UNESCO is the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). It was founded on 16 November 1945. Education, Social and Natural Science, Culture and Communication are the means to a far more ambitious goal: to build peace in the minds of men.

Today, UNESCO functions as a laboratory of ideas and a standard-setter to forge universal agreements on emerging ethical issues. The Organization also serves as a clearinghouse — for the dissemination and sharing of information and knowledge — while helping Member States to build their human and institutional capacities in diverse fields.

In short, UNESCO promotes international co-operation among its 191 Member States and six Associate Members in the fields of education, science, culture and communication.

The Commonwealth of Nations consists of most of the countries that were once parts of the British Empire. There are 50 members. The Head of the Commonwealth is the Queen. There is also a Secretary-General, who is chosen from any one of the fifty countries. The Commonwealth promotes educational programs and exchanges between the different countries. Every four years they hold the Commonwealth Games.

NATO (the North Atlantic Treaty Organization) is a military organization. It was established in 1949 and consists of most of the countries of Western Europe together with Canada and the United States. They give military help to one another. The headquarters of this organization is in Brussels.

Interpol, or International Criminal Police Organization, is another large organization having 184 member countries. Mainly Interpol works on controlling criminals abandoning their usual place of residence and travelling abroad. Interpol informs local national bureaus about them and prevents committing offences or crimes. It also investigates different criminal activities: people and drug traffic, terrorism, organized crime. Interpol is not participating in any political, religious or military events.

Greenpeace is an international organization, which deals with ecological and environmental problems. It was formed in 1971. Now it is a powerful organization, which works all over the word. There are many serious actions in the list of Greenpeace activities. The national offices exist in 27 countries of the world.

One more organization I'd like to speak about is the World Wildlife Fund. It was formed in 1961 by a small group of people. Now it is a large organization. The aim of it is to sake animals and plants of the world. It has raised over 35 million pounds for conversation projects and given support to National parks in five continents.

In conclusion, it is important to say that the formation of international organizations has been a 20th- century phenomenon. Nowadays there are more than 2,500 international organizations. Among them are more than 130 intergovernmental unions.

The History and the Symbols of the European Union

    The European integration has been providing for stability, peace and economic prosperity for the last 60 years. It helped to raise the level of living, create the inner market, introduce euro and strengthen the role played by the Union in the world.

    The European Union was created after the World War II. Process of the European integration began on May 9, 1950, when France officially forwarded the suggestion to “form the first concrete foundation of the European federation”. The first European Community was the ECSC (the European Coal and Steel Community) which was founded in 1952. The six founder countries were Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy and Luxembourg.

   On the 25 March 1957 the six founder members of the ECSC signed the Treaty of Rome and founded the EEC (the European Economic Community) also called the Common Market. Trade was freer and people could travel freely between the member countries. The European Union is based upon the supremacy of law and democracy.

    The European flag is the symbol not only of the European Union but also of Europe’s unity. The circle of 12 gold stars represents solidarity and harmony between the peoples of Europe. The melody of the European anthem comes from the Ninth Symphony by Beethoven. Its words are “The Ode to Joy” by Schiller. “United in diversity” is the motto of the European Union. The euro is the currency of twelve European Union countries. Today, the 9th of May has become the European symbol (Europe Day) which along with the flag, the anthem, the motto and the single currency (the euro) identifies the political entity of the European Union.
