I. LISTENING AND READING
Listen to the text
Read and translate the text Coca-Cola is enjoyed all over the world. It is a soft drink that it is sold in stores, restaurants, and vending machines. It is produced by the Coca-Company of Atlanta, Georgia, and is often called Coke. Coca-Cola is over a hundred years old but its recipe remains a secret. The recipe is kept in a special security vault in a bank in the United States. Only a few people know the formula of Coca-Cola. The concentrate is made centrally, and then exported to more than 900 bottling plants all around the world. The plants are strictly controlled by the Coca-Cola Company. So, how is the most widely recognized product in the world made? The manufacture of Coca-Cola is carried out by a set of processes called continuous flow production. First, new and returned bottles are sorted into various sizes before they are cleaned. After that they are washed and rinsed. Each bottle is then passed through an electronic inspection. After that, Coca-Cola syrup is mixed with water and carbon dioxide is added to it. The clean bottles are filled and passed to the capping machine. The filled bottles are then inspected again. Finally, the bottles are placed into crates. They are stored in a warehouse before they are transported to numerous stores. Over 10 thousand soft drinks from the Coca-Cola Company are consumed every second of every day. If all the Coca-Cola bottles are laid end to end they would reach the moon and back more than 1,677 times. Probably that is why today Coca-Cola is the second most widely understood term in the world after “OK”. II. NOTES
