AUSTRALIA

Economy

 

(1) Australia is one of the world's rich, developed countries. Most developed countries have become rich through the production and export of manufactured goods. Australia's wealth, however, has come chiefly from farming and mining.

 

(2) The processing of farm and mineral products makes up a major part of Australia's manufacturing industry. For many years, manufacturing was the leading employer in Australia. But since about 1970, manufacturing has declined in importance, while service industries have increased in importance.

 

(3) The nation relies on its farms and mines to produce goods for export. By selling farm products and minerals abroad, Australia earns the export income that most other developed countries earn from the sale of manufactured products. However, only part of Australia's export income goes to the farmers and mining companies that produce the goods originally. Much of it goes to firms that process and distribute the goods. Thus, Australia's agricultural and mineral exports benefit the economy and enable many Australians to have a high standard of living.

 

(4) Australia has traditionally been handicapped by a lack of capital--that is, money to finance business and industrial development. As a result, the country has had to borrow capital from other nations and has become heavily indebted to them. Many mining companies, factories, and other businesses in Australia are owned or controlled by American, British, Japanese, and other foreign investors.

3. How do farmers make the cropland highly productive?

4. What are Australia’s leading farm products?

5. What products are country’s chief agricultural products?

6. Wheat is grown in all areas of the country, isn’t it?

 

AUSTRALIA

Agriculture

 

(1) Australia's farms are highly mechanized and thus require a minimum of human labor. Only about 5 per cent of the country's workers are farmers. But they produce nearly all the food the people need.

 

(2) Farmland covers about 65 per cent of Australia. However, most of this land is dry grazing land. Crops are grown on only about 5 per cent of the farmland. But farmers use modern agricultural methods and so make the cropland highly productive. About 10 per cent of the cropland is irrigated.

 

(3) Australia's leading farm products by far are cattle and calves, wheat, and wool, followed by dairy products, fruits, and sugar cane. These products are also the country's chief agricultural exports. Australia is the world's largest producer and exporter of wool and a leading producer and exporter of beef, sugar, and wheat. The country's other major farm products include barley, chickens and eggs, oats, rice, potatoes, sheep and lambs, vegetables, and cotton.

 

(4) Sheep and cattle are raised in all the Australian states. New South Wales and Western Australia together raise more than half the country's sheep and produce about half its wool.. Victoria is the leading producer of dairy products.

 

(5) Wheat is grown in all areas of the country that have medium rainfall and moderate temperatures. But production is heavily concentrated in New South Wales and Western Australia. Farms on the east coast of Queensland grow sugar cane, bananas, pineapples, and other crops that need a wet tropical climate. Such fruits as apples and pears are grown in all the states. New South Wales and South Australia produce most of the country's oranges. South Australia also produces large quantities of grapes for use in making wine.

 

Words:

 

thus – таким образом

farmland – фермерские угодья

crops – сельскохозяйственные культуры

croplands – сельскохозяйственные угодья

irrigate – орошать

1. Is Australia rich in mineral resources?

2. Why are some deposits extremely expensive to mine?

3. What does the mining industry heavily depend on?

4. When did Australia begin to develop its mineral resources?

5. What minerals are the chief products of the mining industry?

6. What minerals does Australia rank first in the production of?

 

AUSTRALIA

Mining

 

(1) Australia has rich mineral resources. But many of the deposits lie in the dry areas, far from major settlements. Such deposits are extremely expensive to mine. Roads and railroads have to be constructed to the mining sites. Towns must be built for the miners and their families. The costs of mining development in Australia are so high that the mining industry depends heavily on foreign capital. Foreign investors own or control about half of the mining industry.

 

(2) Australia began to develop its mineral resources during the 1800's. By the end of the century, it was exporting large amounts of copper, gold, lead, silver, tin, and zinc. These minerals remained the chief products of the mining industry through the first half of the 1900's. During the 1950's, geologists discovered huge deposits of bauxite, coal, and iron ore in Australia. They discovered manganese, natural gas, nickel, and petroleum during the 1960's.

 

(3) Australia has become one of the world's major mining countries. It ranks first in the production of bauxite, diamonds, and lead, and is a leading producer of coal, copper, gold, iron ore, manganese, nickel, silver, tin, titanium, tungsten, zinc, and zircon. Nearly all the world's high-quality opals are mined in Australia.

 

(4) Western Australia, Queensland, and New South Wales are the leading mining states. Western Australia produces most of the nickel, iron ore, and gold and much of the bauxite.

 

(5) Queensland is the chief producer of bauxite, copper, and silver. New South Wales leads in the production of coal, lead, and zinc.

 

Words:

 

mining – добывающая промышленность

mineral resources – полезные ископаемые

deposits – залежи

settlements – селения

cost of mining development – себестоимость разработки месторождений

own – владеть

remain – оставаться

discover – открыть

1. Does Australia import or export more manufactured goods?

2. What consumer goods do Australian factories produce?

3. What goods does the nation import?

4. What do Australian factories heavily depend on?

5. Most of Australian factories specialize in assembly work and light manufacturing, don’t they?

6. What are the leading manufactured products?

7. Where are most of the factories located?

AUSTRALIA

Manufacturing

 

 

(1) Unlike most other developed countries, Australia imports more manufactured goods than it exports. Australian factories produce many of the consumer goods, such as processed foods and household articles, that the people require. But the nation imports most of its producer goods, such as, factory machinery, construction equipment, and other goods used in production. Iron and steel are the chief exceptions. Australia's iron and steel industry produces enough of the metals to meet the needs of other industries. Australia's factories and mining industry depend heavily on foreign capital.

 

(2) Most of Australia's factories specialize in assembly work and light manufacturing. Many plants process farm products or minerals for export. The leading manufactured products are processed foods; metals, including iron and steel; transportation equipment, including automobiles; paper; chemicals; textiles, clothing, and shoes; and household appliances. New South Wales and Victoria are the chief manufacturing states. Together, these two states have about two-thirds of the country's factories and about two-thirds of the factory workers. Most of the factories are located in and around Sydney and Melbourne.

 

(3) Forests cover about 6 per cent of Australia. The vast majority of Australia's forest trees are eucalyptuses. The wood of some eucalyptus species is used for making paper and such items as floorboards and furniture. But eucalyptus wood is too hard for most other purposes, including most types of housing construction. Therefore, imported species of softwoods have been planted on tree farms. Monterey pines, which were imported from California, have become Australia's second most important timber trees, after eucalyptuses.

 

Words:

 

manufacturing – производство

unlike – в отличие от …

manufactured goods – промышленные товары

consumer goods – потребительские товары

household articles – хозтовары

producer goods – товары производственного назначения

meet the needs – удовлетворять потребности

assembly work – сборка

1. How did most Canadians earn a living in colonial times?

2. What are the main economic activities in Canada?

3. What is the Canadian economy based on?

4. What services do national and provincial governments provide?

5. What countries have large investments in Canada?

6. When did a free trade agreement with the United States go into effect?

7. How does Canada use huge quantities of energy?

 

CANADA

Economy

(1) In colonial times, most Canadians earned a living by farming, fishing, logging, or fur trapping. Today, these industries still serve the needs of Canada's people and produce valuable exports. But the main economic activities in Canada are service industries and manufacturing. Canada's gross national product (GNP)--the total value of all goods and services produced--is among the top 10 in the world.

 

(2) The Canadian economy is based on private enterprise. But the national and provincial governments play an active role in many economic activities. For example, they provide free health services to all Canadians. The federal and provincial governments also own broadcasting companies, transportation firms, and utilities. They have entered such fields as resource development and the financing of homebuilding and steel making.

 

(3) Foreign investment and ownership--especially from the United States--have a major influence on Canada's economy. Great Britain, Germany, and Japan also have large investments in Canada. A free trade agreement with the United States went into effect in 1989. The agreement called for the elimination of all tariffs (taxes on imports) between the two countries by 1999.

 

(4) Canada uses energy at a high rate per person. This rate results largely from the huge quantities needed for certain uses. These uses include providing heat in the severe winters, transportation between distant regions of the country, and processing natural resources. Canada has vast energy resources, but conservation of these resources is essential.

 

(5) Canada is a leading country in electric power production. Hydroelectric plants supply about 65 per cent of the electricity produced in Canada. Quebec is the leading hydroelectric power producer. Nuclear plants and plants that burn coal each supply about 15 per cent of Canada's electricity.

5. Where is the main Canadian stock exchange located?

6. Where are government services centered?

 

CANADA

Service Industries

 

(1) Service Industries account for 70 per cent of Canada's gross domestic product. These industries employ about 73 per cent of the nation's workers. Service industries are especially important in metropolitan areas.

 

(2) Community, business, and personal services form the leading group of service industries in Canada. This group includes a great variety of activities, such as education and health care, data processing and legal services, and the operation of hotels and recreational facilities. Community, business, and personal services employ about a third of Canada's workers.

 

(3) Finance, insurance, and real estate form the second most important service industry in Canada in terms of the gross domestic product. Toronto and Montreal are the leading financial centers in Canada. Canada's commercial banking system consists of 8 Canadian-owned banks and 59 small foreign-owned banks. These banks operate about 7,000 branches throughout the country. Trust companies and credit unions also offer banking services. The main Canadian stock exchange is located in Toronto, and smaller stock exchanges operate in Montreal, Vancouver, and Calgary.

 

(4) Other service industries include government; trade; and transportation, communication, and utilities. Government services, which include military activities, are centered in Ottawa, the nation's capital, and in the provincial capitals and major cities. Retail trade, which consists of such establishments as automobile dealerships and grocery stores, employs many people in large cities. Foreign trade, transportation, and communication are discussed later in this section.

CANADA

Manufacturing

 

(1) Manufacturing provides 17 per cent of the gross domestic product. Manufacturing in Canada is divided about equally into two broad fields. The first involves processing minerals and other natural resources for export, and the second provides products for use by Canadians. Factories in Ontario and Quebec produce more than three-fourths of the value of Canada's manufactured goods. Transportation equipment ranks as the nation's top manufacturing industry, followed by processed foods and chemicals.

(2) In the transportation equipment industry, U.S. and Japanese automobile manufacturers operate plants in Ontario and Quebec. Automobile plants in Canada also assemble Japanese and Korean cars. About a million automobiles roll off the assembly lines of these plants yearly. The industry also produces trucks and aircraft.

 

(3) The Canadian food-processing industry handles chiefly meat and poultry products. Toronto is the major meat-packing center. Other leading products of the food-processing industry include dairy products; flour, cereals, and livestock feed; fish products; canned and frozen fruits and vegetables; baked goods; soft drinks; and beer, wine, and liquor.

 

(4) Canada's chemical industry produces chiefly industrial chemical products. Other leading chemical products include drugs and medicines, plastics, paints and varnishes, cleaning products, and fertilizers.

 

(5) Other important manufacturing industries in Canada produce paper products, primary metals, electrical equipment, fabricated metal products, refined petroleum and coal products, wood products, and printed materials. Quebec is one of the world's leading paper-producing regions. Telecommunications equipment, electric industrial equipment, and computers are the main electrical products. Steel mills in Hamilton, Ontario, and aluminum plants in Quebec are major producers of primary metals.

3. What are the leading Canadian agricultural products?

4. Where do barley, flaxseed, oats, canola and rye grow?

5. How are barley, oats and rye mainly used?

6. What do farmers produce in the St.Lawrence Lowlands produce?

 

CANADA

Agriculture

 

(1) Agriculture accounts for 2 per cent of Canada's GDP (Gross Domestic Product). Canada has about 300,000 farms. The average farm size is 572 acres (231 hectares). Wheat, beef cattle, milk, and hogs account for more than half of Canada's total farm income. Other leading products include barley, chickens and eggs, corn, and canola, used to make cooking oil.

 

(2) More than three-fourths of Canada's farmland is located in the Prairie Provinces. Saskatchewan produces more than half of Canada's wheat, and farmers in Alberta and Manitoba raise most of the rest. Barley, flaxseed, oats, canola, and rye grow in the north of Canada's wheat-growing areas. Barley, oats, and rye are used mainly for livestock feed. Alberta is Canada's leading producer of beef cattle. Farmers in the Prairie Provinces also raise dairy cattle, hogs, and poultry.

 

(3) The St. Lawrence Lowlands form Canada's other major agricultural region. Farmers there produce a variety of products, including beef cattle, grains, milk, and vegetables. Southern Ontario's warm summers and long growing season enable farmers to grow a variety of specialty crops, including corn, fruits, vegetables, and tobacco. Quebec leads the provinces in the production of milk. Quebec farmers also raise hogs, poultry, beef cattle, apples, and vegetables.

 

(4) Government marketing agencies establish production quotas and price supports to protect Canadian farmers. The federal and provincial governments also provide credit, as well as technical and management assistance, to farmers. In many areas, farmers have formed cooperatives. These organizations market the farmers' products and supply goods and services needed in farming.
