Привет, друзья! Мой подкаст называется «По-русски легко!». Это значит, здесь я говорю просто и понятно о полезных для вас вещах. Сегодня я расскажу вам о такси в России.
Я часто пользуюсь службой такси Яндекс GO. Это крупная компания. В России есть и другие большие компании: Ситимобил, Максим, Везёт. Ещё есть маленькие компании. Они оказывают услуги такси в конкретных городах и регионах.
Такси очень популярно в России. Вы можете позвонить и вызвать такси. Это просто.
Вы звоните и говорите, где вы сейчас. И куда вы поедете. Оператор по телефону принимает ваш заказ и говорит, когда приедет машина.
А можно заказать такси в приложении. Я думаю, это намного удобнее. Вам не нужно звонить. Выбираете точку на карте, где вы сейчас. Пишете адрес, куда вы хотите поехать.
Если вы хотите съэкономить, то можно выбрать тариф «Эконом». Если любите комфорт, то для вас тариф «Комфорт». Это стоит дороже, но зато вы уверены, что к вам точно приедет удобная иномарка.
Вы можете написать комментарий для водителя. Например, номер вашего подъезда. Или у вас много вещей, и вам нужен пустой багажник.
Есть специальные опция «Заказ такси другому человеку». Если вы едете с ребёнком, то выбираете опцию «Детское кресло». Для поездки с животными нужно обязательно написать «Перевозка домашних животных». Конечно, дополнительные опции делают вашу поездку дороже. Но в целом, такси в России доступно и удобно.
Спасибо! Увидимся на уроке!

По-русски легко!

Поедем на такси!

Today we will review an article entitled "Where in the World Do People Work the Least?" This episode will help the listener/viewer improve his or her pronunciation, listening comprehension, sentence construction, vocabulary and ability to construct sound and articulate arguments in English. This class is for the intermediate to advanced English learner who wants to master business English, not in a vaccuum, but rather in a very real context.  As in all of my programs, this one will examine a business-related topic.

Kenneth Business English (Article review)-Where in the World Do People Work the Least

There are many types of dairy alternatives on the market today, often made from things like nuts and soybeans.

But have you heard they're now making butter from air?

A US startup called Savor is working on a range of dairy alternatives made using something that exists all around us: carbon.

Fats are made from chains of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Savor's process involves taking carbon — from, say, carbon dioxide — and adding heat and hydrogen to create chains that are combined with oxygen from air.

This results in fat molecules, like the ones found in dairy and other animal products.

Now, regular butter is about 80% fat — the rest is mostly water. So to make butter from its synthetic fat, Savor just adds water, as well as an emulsifier that keeps the liquids from separating, and rosemary oil for flavor and beta carotene for color.

What does it taste like?

"I couldn't believe I wasn't eating real butter," Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates wrote in a blog post earlier this year. Gates is one of Savor's investors.

He wrote that "it tastes really good — like the real thing, because chemically it is."

Savor has already run informal taste tests with small groups of people, and is working to get regulatory approval for its product in the US.

But why butter?

A 2021 study estimated that food production makes up about 35% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions — and Savor estimates that about 7% of greenhouse gas emissions are just from producing fat.

But Savor's process, Gates wrote, doesn't release any greenhouse gases. He added that it uses no farmland and "less than a thousandth of the water that traditional agriculture does."

Savor is focusing on butter to start with partly because its high price point makes it easier to compete on cost. But the startup later hopes to develop other products like milk, ice cream, cheese — even meat.
