How science is spelled in English. Talking about science

Science and technology - a topic in English with translation and phrases, which will help in preparing for the oral part of the examinations of the Unified State Exam, OGE, and will also be useful to everyone who is improving their English.

We are living in a world of technologies now and can’t remember our life being different. The humanity has made many discoveries and invented lots of mechanisms and devices which have simplified our life significantly.

We got acquainted with light and sound and explored their characteristics which helped us to use them effectively. The radio, the TV, the telephone was invented and enabled us to get in touch with each other, learn about what is happening in our native city and all over the world.

The humanity never stopped on the way to unexplored places and even planets! We devised a satellite and made a rocket to travel to the moon and round the Earth. Special equipment lets us make photos of the faraway planets and study their environment.

The most recent breakthrough in technology is supposed to be the internet. It has broadened our abilities and opened new horizons. We connect with people from other countries without any problems, search for any information and get it in one click, and have many other opportunities accessing the net from our smartphones, tablets, and computers.

However, other realms of science have also been developing. Medicine, biology, archeology and many other sciences have achieved great results. We do have everything to maintain a high quality of life now. Many processes have been automated and people have got rid of many unpleasant things and difficulties they used to face in the past.

Today we live in the world of technology and no longer remember that our life was once different. Humanity has made many discoveries and invented many mechanisms and devices that have greatly simplified our life.

We got acquainted with light and sound and studied their properties, which helped us to use them effectively. Radio, television, the telephone were invented, which allowed us to communicate with each other, to learn about what is happening in our hometown and all over the world.

Humanity has never stopped on its way to unknown places and even planets! We invented the satellite and built the rocket to go to the moon and fly around the earth. Special equipment allowed us to take pictures distant planets and study their natural conditions.

One of the latest breakthroughs in technology is the Internet. He expanded our capabilities and opened up new horizons. We communicate with people from other countries without any problems, we search for any information and find it in one click of the mouse and have many other possibilities, connecting to the network through our smartphones, tablets and computers.

However, other areas of science are also developing. Medicine, biology, archeology and many other sciences have achieved excellent results.

My thoughts about science

Nowadays people live in the era of progress and development that provides a wide range of opportunities for everybody. Using accumulated knowledge, people can make discoveries and inventions, which seemed incredible not long ago.

Every science has an experience that gives a great opportunity to everybody to reach his own goals and realize his own dreams. It is very important for every person to figure out what science can help to get these opportunities.

To my mind, some sciences are sure to be learned. It is a well-known fact that science is an important part of many different kinds of jobs. Doctors study diseases and discover new cures and treatments. Chemists invent new medicines. Agricultural scientists help to bring fresh nutritious products to our supermarkets. These are just a few examples. You can find many more examples of science on the ground, in the skies, and in the oceans.

Science produces useful models, which allow us to make various useful predictions and attempts to describe what already exists. So, science is a very useful tool. It is a basis of understanding that allows us to act more effectively concerning our surroundings and to better adapt and evolve. Modern science has revealed insights about the
Universe that were unimagined just a few generations ago. Surely some are important for understanding the overall context that gives meaning and significance to our lives. In recent years scientists of the world have achieved great success in the development of physics, chemistry, biology, and such astonishing, interesting science as psychology.

However, scientific discoveries can also have a negative impact. Some of the latest technological advances that make our life easier or more enjoyable have proved to have unwanted and often unexpected long-term effects. Industrial and agricultural chemicals pollute the global environment, even in such remote areas as Antarctica, and city air is much contaminated by toxic gases from vehicle exhausts.

All in all, we should be very careful using new scientific discoveries and technologies not to damage the world we live in and save our planet for further generations.

In my opinion, some sciences will undoubtedly spread. It is a well-known fact that science is an important part of many different types of work. Doctors study diseases and discover new medicines and treatments. Chemists are inventing new drugs. Agricultural scientists help bring fresh, nutritious food to our supermarkets. These are just a few examples. You can find many more examples of science in both the sky and the oceans.

Science produces useful models that allow us to make various useful predictions and attempts to describe what already exists. Science is a very useful tool. This is the foundation for understanding what allows us to act more effectively in relation to our environment and to better adapt and develop. Modern science has revealed a deeper understanding of the universe that was unimaginable just a few generations ago. Of course, for understanding, the context is important, which gives meaning and meaning to our life. In recent years, scientists around the world have made great strides in the development of physics, chemistry, biology and such an amazing, interesting science as psychology.

However, scientific discoveries can also have negative consequences. Some of the latest technological advances that make our lives easier and more enjoyable have had unwanted and often unexpected long-term consequences. Industrial and agricultural chemicals contaminate environment even in remote areas like Antarctica, and the city air is polluted by toxic exhaust fumes from cars.

In general, we must be very careful when using new scientific discoveries and technology so as not to damage the world in which we live and to save our planet for future generations.

Computerization ( computerization), modern medicine ( modern medicine), production technologies ( manufacturing technology) - all this and much more would not have been possible without scientists ( scientists) and their hard work.

"Scientific" English idioms

The topic of science is also rich in phraseological units, and I would like to dwell on some of them.

In English	Translating to Russian language
Science	The science
It would be correct to call the present era the era of science. Science is everything that surrounds us. Experimental science began hundreds of years ago, when men first started using the energy of fire and water. Being a rational creature, man has explored other mysteries of nature, which has gradually led to many new discoveries. Today, people use thermonuclear energy and a great number of electronic devices. Besides, scientists throughout the world managed to create spacecrafts for further studying of the Earth’s atmosphere and even for exploring other planets. Every sphere of life has gone through scientific revolution. One of the greatest inventions of all times is medicine. After millions of tests, doctors can now cure many fatal diseases. Thanks to science life span has increased, while the rate of infant mortality has notably reduced. Other than that, science has given the humanity a lot of useful machines, which have made our life easier. For example, cars, buses, microwaves, washing machines, sewing machines, air conditioners and even home robots. Most of these appliances work from electricity, which is also a scientific invention. It seems that people nowadays have everything they need for everyday life, but science never stops developing. It is always keen on exploring the mysteries of the universe, on conquering land and air. This incredible lust for knowledge leads to constant raise of life standards.
