Here is a clear English translation of the Russian text, followed by concise answers to Exercises III and IV. Translation of the Russian text (Exercise III) Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre (JTAC) has downgraded the threat to the United Kingdom from CRITICAL to SEVERE. This means that future terrorist attacks remain highly likely but are no longer considered inevitable. The decision was made by JTAC based on the latest intelligence review. The investigation into the recent terrorist attacks in London and Glasgow is continuing under the leadership of the Metropolitan Police Counter Terrorism Command with assistance from the Security Service. Speaking in the House of Commons on Tuesday, July 2, the Home Secretary noted that the investigation was progressing rapidly and several people had been arrested. Security across the country has been heightened in response to the increased threat level. Answers to Exercise III (questions 1–6) 1) What is international terrorism, in your view? - International terrorism refers to violent acts or the threat of such acts carried out by individuals or groups that operate across borders or have a transnational reach, with political, religious, or ideological aims. It targets civilians or governments to create fear, influence politics, or draw attention to a cause, beyond a single country. 2) Who represents the main threat to the United Kingdom and other countries? - The main threat comes from international terrorist organisations and networks that operate across borders, as well as groups that radicalise online and recruit members from multiple countries. Domestic threats can also be significant, but the focus in this context is on transnational terrorism. 3) Which other extremist groups pose a serious threat to British interests? - In addition to international Islamist extremist groups, other serious threats can come from far-right nationalist/extremist groups, separatist or violent nationalist organisations, and other violent extremist ideologies that might operate within or influence the UK. 4) What are the sources and forms of the threat? - Sources: radicalisation through online platforms, recruitment by international networks, returnees from conflict zones, and financing/support networks. - Forms: planned or carried-out attacks (including mass-casualty scenarios), propaganda and recruitment, cyber-enabled threats, and attempts to radicalise or influence others. 5) What do you know about terrorism in Russia? - Russia has faced Islamist extremism and separatist violence, notably in the North Caucasus, with historical insurgencies and terrorist attacks. There have been periods of heightened security concerns, counter-terrorism operations, and ongoing efforts to prevent radicalisation and extremism. The threat landscape also includes other forms of extremism within Russia. 6) Do you know any extremist groups that pose a threat to Russia? - Examples (in general terms) include Islamist militant groups active in the North Caucasus and, to varying extents, international jihadist networks that attempt to operate there. There are also far-right and nationalist extremist groups within Russia. The exact groups and designations can change over time and depend on current intelligence and government lists. Answers to Exercise IV (fill in the blanks with English words from the text) 1) This is a national security issue. 2) The current threat is from such groups. 3) They have our new economic program. 4) The investigation showed that his whole family spied. 5) We should always be vigilant about terrorism. 6) As reported, the terrorists stole weapons of mass destruction, and they are likely to use them. Notes - Exercise IV items use vocabulary that appears in the English translation of the text. If you have a specific workbook format, you can adapt the exact wording to match the expected blanks more precisely.
