ВАРИАНТ III

I. Прочтите и письменно переведите следующий текст.

Many islands have now become dependent on tourism as their main source of income. The principal industries were originally farm­ing and fishing, with native islanders living off the land, but in con­temporary society these activities have been largely ousted to cope with the growing demands of tourism. Attracted by their beaches, the heat and the relaxed atmosphere, islands have now become a popular destination for the sun - worshipping holiday - maker. Every aspect of island life has hence been affected by this influx of foreigners. Restaurants, bars, cafes, discos, hotels and souvenir shops depend on tourists, and in fact could not exist without them.

Obviously a lot of money can be earned from such a flourishing industry. The six months of the peak season are a crucial time when the businessmen try to earn as much as they can. Apart from the commercial aspect, it can be said that islanders improve their ability to speak foreign languages. New buildings crop up to accomodate the ever-growing demands of tourists.
