Упражнение 2. A. Прочитайте текст и найдите слова или словосочетания, означающие portable, work, generate, at present.
Although most electricity comes from power stations, power
can also be generated by far smaller means. Nowadays, electricity
generators can be small enough to hold in the hand. A portable
generator can provide electricity no matter how far you are from
the mains (сеть). It works by turning the movement of a piston into
electrical energy. Such a generator can produce a 700 watt output,
enough to operate lights, television, and some domestic appliances.
Larger versions provide emergency power to hospitals and factories.
